DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0078] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0080] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted" and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; and direct or indirect connections through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0081] Example 1

[0082] Referring to Figures 1 to 22, the present application embodiment provides a micro-vegetable planting device 100, comprising: a matrix sheet 1 and a water-absorbing ear piece 2, wherein the matrix sheet 1 is used to set seeds 6, and a certain amount of seeds 6 can be set on the surface of the matrix sheet 1 in a broadcasting manner. The water-absorbing ear piece 2 is connected to the matrix sheet 1. The water-absorbing ear piece 2 can be immersed in water, and the water-absorbing ear piece 2 is used to provide the matrix sheet 1 with the required moisture through the cultivation tool. The matrix sheet 1, as a growth layer supporting the growth of the seeds 6, has suitable water absorption, water retention and air permeability, and can meet the suitable moisture and air environment required for the germination of the seeds 6 and the growth of the sprouts, ensuring that the seeds 6 will not be suffocated by waterlogging due to direct contact with the matrix sheet 1, nor will the seeds 6 be shriveled by drought, ensuring that the seeds 6 are smoothly germinated and the sprouts grow healthily. As can be seen, the micro-vegetable planting device 100 provided by the present application embodiment does not require a large amount of soil and water resources, has low requirements on the technology and experience of the grower, is simple and easy for ordinary family growers, and is particularly suitable for the planting of micro-leaf vegetables.

[0083] In some possible embodiments, as shown in FIG11 , the matrix sheet 1 includes multiple seed clusters 14, each separated by an isolation region 15. The seed clusters 14 are used to place seeds 6. Providing multiple, mutually isolated seed clusters 14 facilitates controlling the planting density of seeds 6, facilitating precise control of the planting density to achieve the optimal density required for normal plant growth and development, thereby improving the efficiency of plant production and maintenance. Different seed clusters 14 also facilitate the separate planting of different vegetables.

[0084] As shown in Figure 11 , the primary function of the isolation zone 15 is to provide longitudinal and transverse ventilation channels for the microgreens, creating a suitable moisture and air environment for the aboveground microgreens, preventing them from becoming diseased or rotting, and ensuring their healthy growth. This also prevents desiccation and competition, helping to improve the consistency and controllability of the growth of the seeds 6.

[0085] In extensive experiments, the applicant discovered that when the size of the isolation area 15 is too small compared to the size of the seed clustering area 14, the isolation area 15 provides limited air and moisture to the seed clustering area 14, resulting in average growth consistency of the seeds 6. On the other hand, when the size of the isolation area 15 is too large relative to the size of the seed clustering area 14, the consistency of the seeds 6 does not change much, but a lot of space and material is wasted. In response to this, extensive experiments have verified that when the width of the isolation area 15 between the long sides of two adjacent seed clustering areas 14 accounts for 50% to 70% of the short side of the seed clustering area 14, and the width of the isolation area 15 between the short sides of the seed clustering area 14 accounts for 15% to 20% of the long side of the seed clustering area 14, the consistency and controllability of the seed 6 growth can be significantly improved. At the same time, the area of ​​the substrate layer occupied by the isolation area 15 is not large, and the yield of micro-vegetables per unit area of ​​the substrate sheet 1 is high.

[0086] Experimental example: Isolation zone size test.

[0087] This experiment investigated the effect of isolation zone 3 size on sprout cultivation.

[0088] Each seed cluster is set as a rectangle, and seed clusters and isolation areas of different sizes are set. White radish seeds are evenly spread in the clusters, providing about 0.06g / cm 2 Seed density. Each treatment was planted with a micro-vegetable planting device (see Figure 21), the matrix sheet was placed in the support box, the same amount of tap water (550 mL) was added to the water box, the support box was placed in the water box, and the upper cover was closed. The micro-vegetable planting device was placed in an environment with the following conditions: temperature of 24 ° C, air humidity of 60%, photoperiod of 10 hours, and light intensity of 300-2000 lux. The air vents of the upper cover were completely opened on the second day after sowing the seeds, and the upper cover was opened on the third day. No watering was required in the middle. These micro-vegetables were grown for a total of 7 days. The micro-vegetables had reached a harvestable state, and the following data were measured for the micro-vegetables: average micro-vegetable height (mm); weight of the harvested part of the micro-vegetables (g).

[0089] The following table shows the test results:

[0090] The following table shows the test results:

[0091] It can be clearly seen from the test results of the above two tables that when the width of the isolation zone 15 between the long sides of two adjacent seed clusters 14 accounts for 50% to 70% of the short side size of the seed cluster area 14, and the width of the isolation zone 15 between the short sides of the seed cluster area 14 accounts for 15% to 20% of the long side size of the seed cluster area 14, the consistency and controllability of the growth of the seeds 6 can be significantly improved. At the same time, the area of ​​the matrix layer occupied by the isolation zone 15 is not large, and the micro-vegetable yield per unit area of ​​the matrix sheet 1 is higher.

[0092] The seed clustering area 14 may be circular, rectangular, square, triangular, prismatic or other shapes. The specific shape of the seed clustering area 14 may be set according to actual conditions, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit its specific shape.

[0093] The matrix sheet 1 has excellent water absorption, water retention, and ventilation properties, ensuring smooth germination of seeds 6 and healthy growth of sprouts. Technicians have discovered that different vegetable seeds 6 vary in size, and the optimal planting density for different sizes of seeds 6 varies. The ratio of the weight of the seeds 6 within the seed cluster 14 to the area of ​​the seed cluster 14 is set to M. Through extensive experiments, technicians have found that when the size of the seeds 6 and the value of M meet the following conditions, the germination rate of the seeds 6 is high and the vegetable growth is optimal. Specifically:

[0094] When the diameter or length of the seed 6 is ≤1.0 mm, M is 0.025 g to 0.03 g / cm2; for example, amaranth seeds 6.

[0095] When the diameter or length of the seed 6 is greater than 1.0 mm and the diameter or length of the seed 6 is less than or equal to 2 mm, M is 0.03 g to 0.035 g / cm 2 ; For example, alfalfa seeds 6.

[0096] When the diameter or length of the seed 6 is greater than 2.0 mm and the diameter or length of the seed 6 is less than or equal to 5 mm, M is 0.075 g to 0.15 g / cm 2 ; For example, radish, mung bean and water spinach seeds6.

[0097] When the diameter or length of seed 6 is greater than 5.0 mm, M is 0.23 g to 0.25 g / cm 2 For example, pea and black bean seeds6.

[0098] Alternatively, the ratio of the weight of the seeds in the seed clustering area 14 to the area of ​​the seed clustering area 14 is set to M, and the value range of M is preferably as follows:

[0099] When the seed weight of 1000 seeds is ≤5.0g, M is 0.01g~0.03g / cm 2 ; for example, amaranth, kale, and broccoli seeds.

[0100] When the seed weight is greater than 5.0 g and the seed weight is less than or equal to 25 g, M is 0.03 g to 0.08 g / cm 2 ; For example, radish and fenugreek seeds.

[0101] When the seed weight is greater than 25g and the seed weight is less than or equal to 60g, M is 0.08-0.2g / cm 2 For example, wheat, mung bean and water spinach seeds. When the seed weight is greater than 60g, M is 0.2g-0.5g / cm 2 For example, pea and black bean seeds.

[0102] Experimental example: seed density test.

[0103] This experiment investigated the effects of different seed sowing densities on seed germination and growth.

[0104] Matrix sheet 1 is cut into the size of 167.8*155.5mm, planted with micro-vegetable planting device (referring to Figure 21), the matrix sheet of cutting is put into supporting box, in water box, add same appropriate amount of tap water (550mL), supporting box is put into water box, and cover loam cake.For the matrix sheet of cutting, the different varieties of seeds of different weight gradients are evenly spread on the top of matrix sheet. It is 24 ℃ that micro-vegetable planting device is placed in the environment that temperature is 60%, air humidity is 10 hours, and light intensity is 300-2000lux. After sowing seeds, the air vent of loam cake is opened completely on the 2nd day, and loam cake is opened on the 3rd day, and does not need watering midway. These micro-vegetables are grown for 7 days in total, and micro-vegetables have reached can gather in the crops state, and micro-vegetables is carried out micro-vegetables gathering part weight (g) data measurement, and calculates output ratio (micro-vegetables gathering part weight / seed dosage).

[0105] Effect of broccoli seed sowing density on germination and growth of seed 6:

[0106] The following table shows the test results obtained from the experimental example:

[0107] As can be seen from the table above, at 0.02g / cm 2 Under the density, the seed 6 plant has good yield and high output ratio.

[0108] Effect of radish seed sowing density on seed germination and growth:

[0109] The following table shows the experimental test results:

[0110] As can be seen from the table above, at 0.06g / cm 2 Under the density, the seed 6 plant has good yield and high output ratio.

[0111] Effect of wheat seed 6 sowing density on seed 6 germination and growth:

[0112] The following table shows the test results obtained from the experiment:

[0113] As can be seen from the table above, at 0.1g / cm 2 Under the density, the seed 6 plant has good yield and high output ratio.

[0114] Effect of pea seed 6 sowing density on seed germination and growth:

[0115] The following table shows the test results obtained from the experiment:

[0116] As can be seen from the table above, at 0.06g / cm 2 Under the density, the seed 6 plant has good yield and high output ratio.

[0117] In some possible embodiments, the matrix sheet 1 and the water-absorbing ear sheet 2 are integrally formed, or the matrix sheet 1 and the water-absorbing ear sheet 2 are separate parts, and one end of the water-absorbing ear sheet 2 is connected to the matrix sheet 1 .

[0118] Among the present application's embodiment, water-absorbing ear piece 2 and matrix sheet 1 can be integrally formed, and water-absorbing ear piece 2 also can be connected and combined with matrix sheet 11 by modes such as bonding, hot pressing or suturing.It is understandable that when water-absorbing ear piece 2 and matrix sheet 1 were integrally formed, then this water-absorbing ear piece 2 and matrix sheet 1 can adopt identical material to make.Material can be any in fibrous material, paper material and the spongy material.When water-absorbing ear piece 2 and matrix sheet 1 were for connecting and combining to form, water-absorbing ear piece 2 was an independent structure, and the material that constitutes it can be identical with matrix sheet 1, also can be different.

[0119] The area ratio S of the water-absorbing ear sheet 2 and the seed accumulation area of ​​the matrix sheet 1 is set to be greater than or equal to 6%.

[0120] Experimental example: Water-absorbing ear piece 2 size test.

[0121] This experiment investigates the effects of the area and number of water-absorbing tabs 2 on the germination and growth of seeds 6.

[0122] Cutting matrix sheet 1, around matrix sheet 1, water-absorbing ear piece 2 of different shapes and sizes is set, and the area that water-absorbing ear piece 2 is set respectively accounts for 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12% of matrix sheet 1 seed gathering district 14 area.Wherein each matrix sheet is planted with a micro-vegetable planting device (referring to Figure 21), the matrix sheet of cutting is put into supporting box, in water box, add same appropriate amount of tap water (550mL), supporting box is put into water box, and covers upper cover.For the matrix sheet of cutting, 15g of red radish seeds (Shouguang Xinxinran Horticulture Co., Ltd.) are evenly spread on the top of matrix sheet, to provide about 0.075g / cm 2 The microgreens were placed in an environment with a temperature of 24°C, an air humidity of 60%, a photoperiod of 10 hours, and a light intensity of 300-2000 lux. The ventilation vents on the top cover were fully opened on the second day after sowing the seeds, and on the third day, the top cover was opened again. No watering was required. The microgreens were grown for a total of 7 days, until they were ready for harvest. The average height (mm) and weight (g) of the harvested portion of the microgreens were measured.

[0123] The following are the test results obtained from the experiment:

[0124] As can be seen from the table above, when the absorbent tabs 2 connected to the matrix sheet 1 are larger than 6% of the seed clustering area 14, good water absorption is maintained on the surface of the matrix sheet 1. However, when the absorbent tabs 2 are smaller than 6% of the seed clustering area 14 or smaller, water absorption performance is significantly reduced. Furthermore, experiments have shown that the orientation of the absorbent tabs 2 significantly improves the uniformity of water absorption on the matrix sheet 1, resulting in a more consistent plant height.

[0125] When setting the ratio S between the area of ​​the water-absorbing ear piece 2 and the seed-collecting area of ​​the matrix sheet 1, technicians have found that different vegetable seeds 6 have different sizes, and the optimal S value corresponding to different sized seeds 6 is different. When the seed 6 size and S value meet the following conditions, the seed 6 germination rate is high and the vegetable growth is good. Specifically:

[0126] When the diameter or length of the seed 6 is ≤ 0.9 mm, S is 6% to 7.5%, for example, amaranth seeds 6.

[0127] When 1 mm ≤ the diameter or length of the seed 6, and the diameter or length of the seed 6 ≤ 2 mm, S is 7% to 8.0%. For example, alfalfa seeds 6.

[0128] When 2.1 mm is less than or equal to the diameter or length of the seed 6, and the diameter or length of the seed 6 is less than or equal to 5 mm, S is 7.5% to 8.5%. For example, radish, mung bean, and water spinach seeds 6.

[0129] When the diameter or length of the seed 6 is less than 5 mm, S is 9% to 11%, for example, pea and black bean seeds 6.

[0130] In some possible embodiments, as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 17 , a seed fixing portion is provided on the matrix sheet 1 , and the seed fixing portion includes any one of an adhesive 12 and a hole 13 .

[0131] When matrix sheet 1 comprised a plurality of seed gathering areas 14, be formed with several holes 13 or the adhesive 12 in order to seed 6 location in each seed gathering area 14, seed 6 is distributed in several zones of setting on the matrix sheet 1 in the mode of quantitative and location.When the structure to seed 6 location was hole 13, it is understandable that hole 13 is a sinking hole, and its aperture specifically can be determined according to the seed particle size of being planted, so that seed can be located for purpose, and this location can be understood as that seed 6 is fixed and position-limited.In addition, the quantity of hole 13 can be provided with according to the plant of being planted and actual required situation, is preferred so that can reach the required optimal density of current plant growth and development.Seed 6 is located by hole 13 and quantitatively is laid in seed gathering area 14, so helps the spacing between the later stage plants and the plant amount in the single seed gathering area 14 to carry out accurate control to meet the required optimal density state of plant normal growth and development, has improved the efficient of plant production and maintenance.

[0132] In the embodiment of the present application, the diameter of the hole 13 is slightly smaller than the particle size of the currently planted seeds, that is, the seed 6 is interference-fitted with the hole 13, and the seed 6 is clamped and positioned by the hole 13. Of course, in order to improve the adaptability of the hole 13, the hole 13 can also have a larger diameter than the particle size of common seeds. Before placement, the seed can be fixed in the hole 13 by applying an edible adhesive. After the seed is fixed in the hole 13, it is convenient for the matrix sheet 1 to not affect the layout of the seeds in the seed accumulation area 14 during the later transportation and movement.

[0133] In the embodiment of the present application, each hole 13 is evenly distributed in the seed gathering area 14. The hole 13 can be a sink hole structure directly arranged on the upper surface of the matrix sheet 1, or, as a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, the seed gathering area 14 is a groove structure extending in the thickness direction of the matrix sheet 1. The advantage of the present application in forming the seed gathering area 14 by arranging the groove structure on the upper surface of the matrix sheet 1 is: it is convenient to establish a cover sheet with functions such as heat preservation and ventilation at the upper end cover of the seed gathering area 14, and better growth space and environment can be provided for the germination period of the seeds 6 simultaneously.

[0134] In the present application's embodiment, referring to shown in Figure 15, when the structure to seed 6 location was adhesive body 12, adhesive body 12 was a glue point, and glue point can be arranged in the upper surface of seed cluster area 14 with equidistant and staggered mode.In the preferred embodiment of the application, seed cluster area 14 can be the groove structure that extends to matrix sheet 1 thickness direction, adhesive body 12 is equidistant and staggered to be arranged in the dike of groove, and seed 6 is connected with adhesive body 12 by the mode of adhesion and then realizes fixing to seed 6.Adhesive body 12 can also be the projection that is built-in with viscose glue, and projection can be integrally formed with matrix sheet 1, also can be independent structure, when projection was independent structure, the material that constituted this projection should be identical with matrix sheet 1 character, and can be connected by modes such as bonding, hot pressing between this projection and the matrix sheet 1.

[0135] In some possible embodiments, the thickness of the matrix sheet 1 is 1 to 4 mm.

[0136] Experimental example: Matrix sheet 1 composition and thickness experiment.

[0137] This experiment investigates the effects of the material and thickness parameters of the matrix sheet 1 on the root penetration performance of the matrix sheet 1 .

[0138] Different materials were cut to obtain substrate sheets 1, each of which was planted using a micro-vegetable planting device (as shown in Figure 21). The cut substrate sheets were placed in a support box, the same amount of tap water (550 mL) was added to the water box, the support box was placed in the water box, and the upper cover was closed. For the cut substrate sheets, 15g of carrot seeds were evenly spread on top of the substrate sheets to provide a seed density of approximately 0.075g / cm2. The micro-vegetable planting device was placed in an environment with a temperature of 24°C, an air humidity of 60%, a photoperiod of 10 hours, and a light intensity of 300-2000 lux. The ventilation vents of the upper cover were fully opened on the second day after sowing the seeds, and the upper cover was opened on the third day. No watering was required during the growth process. The micro-vegetables were grown for a total of 7 days, and the micro-vegetables were harvestable. The following data were measured for the micro-vegetables: average micro-vegetable height (mm); weight of the harvested micro-vegetables (g).

[0139] The following table shows the test results obtained from the experimental example:

[0140] Experimental Results: The table above shows that when the thickness of the matrix sheet 1 is between 1 and 4 mm, the root penetration performance is good, which promotes a more developed root system for microgreens and a stronger plant. When the thickness of the matrix sheet 1 exceeds 4 mm, the matrix thickness is too thick, and the root penetration performance is poor. The microgreens cannot take root and float on the surface, resulting in slow growth. Both annual herb seed fibers and perennial herb fibers have high root penetration performance, which promotes stronger growth of seedlings and a more developed root system.

[0141] In some possible embodiments, the matrix sheet 1 is made of materials including perennial herbaceous plant fibers and annual plant seed fibers, and the content of the perennial herbaceous plant fibers and the annual plant seed fibers in the matrix sheet 1 is not less than 30%.

[0142] Perennial herbaceous plant fibers have the advantage of strong water absorption and water retention capabilities. Annual plant seed fibers, including polylactic acid fibers (PLA fibers), are fibers synthesized from plant seed components. These fibers are characterized by high air permeability, making them adaptable to various relative humidity levels, but have relatively low water absorption and water retention capabilities. By mixing these two materials in varying proportions, matrix sheets 1 with varying water absorption and air permeability properties can be produced to accommodate different plant seeds 6. In some specific embodiments, the matrix sheet 1 may comprise no less than 30% annual herbaceous plant seed fibers and no less than 30% perennial herbaceous plant fibers.

[0143] In the seed 6 germination process, both sufficient moisture is needed, and sufficient air is needed again.If moisture is too much, air is not enough, and seed 6 can drown and suffocate, and if moisture is not enough, air is enough, but seed 6 can be dried up by drought.When matrix sheet 1 material and component selection are inappropriate, just need manually pay more management and look after, just can guarantee that seed 6 smoothly germinates and sprouts grow healthily.The technician has found the suitable proportioning of two kinds of materials in a large amount of experiments, promptly the content of perennial herb fiber and annual plant grain fiber all is not less than 30% and can guarantee in seed 6 germinates and the sprouts growth process among the matrix sheet 1, till results, for seed 6 and sprout are provided with suitable moisture and air automatically, do not need manual management and look after, accomplish light and simple plantation, from starting to results, only need to finish two actions, i.e. initial laying operation and last results operation.

[0144] In some possible embodiments, as shown in Figures 2 and 20, the micro-vegetable planting device 100 includes a cover sheet 3, which is connected to the matrix sheet 1, and a cavity 5 is formed between the cover sheet 3 and the matrix sheet 1. A plurality of air holes 31 are provided on the cover sheet 3, and the air holes 31 are connected to the cavity 5. The cover sheet 3 meets the requirements of tensile strength of 20-50N / mm and toughness of 50-200J / m 2 , air permeability greater than 10000ml / min, water absorption at 10g / m 2 Up to 50g / m 2 Best time.

[0145] Referring to shown in Figure 2, when matrix sheet 1 was not provided with isolation area 15, cover sheet 3 can be connected to matrix sheet 1 around side edge, and cover sheet 3 can be connected with matrix sheet 1 around side edge by modes such as bonding, hot pressing or suturing, and has constituted a hollow pod structure.It is understandable that pod structure can include but not limited to at least a in circle, rectangle or the triangle, specifically can be determined according to actual demand, can hold a certain amount of seed 6 that is used for micro-vegetable plantation in the cavity 5 of this pod structure.Cover sheet 3 has stronger air permeability, and the pod structure that it and matrix sheet 1 constitute provides growth space and the environment of seed 6 seedling high-quality.

[0146] 19 and 20 , when the matrix sheet 1 includes a plurality of seed clusters 14, each sub-cluster 14 is surrounded by an isolation region 15, and each sub-cluster 14 is isolated by the isolation region 15, a cover sheet 3 can be connected to the isolation region 15, and the cover sheet 3 and each seed cluster 14 form an independent cavity 5.

[0147] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to meet the oxygen demand of the seeds 6 during germination and sprouting, a plurality of air holes 31 can be formed on the cover sheet 3 located above the seed gathering area 14. The aperture of the air holes 31 is 0.5 to 1.5 mm. It can be understood that the air holes 31 can be used to connect the cavity 5 with the outside world for gas exchange.

[0148] As shown in Figure 19 and Figure 20, the seed gathering area 14 on the matrix sheet 1 can be a groove structure, cover sheet 3 is covered on the matrix sheet 1, and cover sheet 3 is not provided with the zone (isolation zone 15) of seed gathering area 14 on the matrix sheet 1 by bonding, hot pressing or suturing etc. modes are connected and formed several seed pods that comprise seed 6 with seed gathering area 14, and seed pod can provide growth space and the environment of seed 6 seedlings high-quality.In addition, utilize the power of seedling self that cover sheet 3 can be separated with matrix sheet 1.In the embodiment of the present application, when cave 13 is directly arranged on the upper surface of matrix sheet 1, that is, when the seed gathering area 14 on the matrix sheet 1 was not groove structure, this cover sheet 3 can be artificially torn off after seed 6 germinates.

[0149] In some possible implementation schemes, a plurality of holes are provided on the cover sheet 3 , the holes being connected to the cavity 5 , and the holes are sequentially spaced along the connecting edge between the cover sheet 3 and the matrix sheet 1 .

[0150] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to facilitate the automatic separation of the cover sheet 3 from the matrix sheet 1 under the action of the seedlings, a dotted line 33 composed of continuously spaced holes is provided at the edge of the connection between the cover sheet 3 and the area (isolation area 15) on the matrix sheet 1 where the seed gathering area 14 is not provided. The dotted line 33 is provided at a position close to the edge of the seed gathering area 14 of the cover sheet 3. When the seedlings grow to a certain height, they can use their own strength to break through the dotted line 33 to achieve automatic removal of the cover sheet 3.

[0151] The holes can be rectangular and can measure 2 mm by (0.3 to 2) mm. By designing the shape and size of the holes, seeds 6 can be prevented from escaping through the holes while still providing ample ventilation area, providing ample air permeability for seeds 6 during germination and facilitating germination. Furthermore, by limiting the shape and size of the holes, the strength of the cover sheet 3 at the holes can be reduced, helping the seeds 6 to tear through the cover sheet 3 using their germination force, thereby facilitating hypocotyl elongation and cotyledon expansion.

[0152] The ratio of the length of the holes to the spacing between the holes is set to M, where M is related to the size of the seed 6.

[0153] When the diameter or length of the seed 6 is ≤0.9 mm, M is 2.0 to 2.1, for example, amaranth seeds 6.

[0154] When 1≤seed 6 diameter or length, and seed 6 diameter or length≤2mm, M is 1.9 to 2.0. For example, alfalfa seed 6.

[0155] When 2.1 ≤ the diameter or length of the seed 6, and the diameter or length of the seed 6 ≤ 5 mm, M is 1.8 to 1.9. For example, radish, mung bean, and water spinach seeds 6.

[0156] When 5 is less than the diameter or length of the seed 6, M is 1.6 to 1.8, for example, pea and black bean seeds 6.

[0157] The above limitations are based on the use of kraft paper as the cover sheet 3. Extensive experiments have shown that when the seed 6 size and M value meet these limitations, the seedlings will successfully push open the cover sheet 3 after germination and when they reach the appropriate size. If both the seed 6 size and M value meet these limitations, there is a risk that the seedlings will not be able to push open the cover sheet 3 after germination, or that the seedlings will push open the cover sheet 3 prematurely, rendering the cover sheet 3 ineffective in maintaining moisture and heat.

[0158] In a preferred embodiment, the length of the holes is 2 mm and the spacing between the holes is 1 mm.

[0159] Test example: hole test.

[0160] This experiment investigated the effect of hole size on the ability of seedlings to break through the cover sheet 3.

[0161] Two sizes of square tooth knives, one with a tooth width of 2mm and a space width of 2mm and the other with a tooth width of 2mm and a space width of 1mm, were used to make cutting dies. The dies were then loaded into a die-cutting machine to position and cut the covering layer area corresponding to the seed cluster area, obtaining two sizes of side holes.

[0162] For the cut matrix sheet, different varieties of seeds were evenly spread on the top of the matrix sheet and covered with a cover paper with a hole length of 2mm and a hole spacing of 1mm / 2mm to make seed pods. Each treatment was planted using a micro-vegetable planting device (see Figure 21). The prepared seed pods were placed in a support box, the same amount of tap water (550mL) was added to the water box, the support box was placed in the water box, and the upper cover was closed. The micro-vegetable planting device was placed in an environment with a temperature of 24°C, an air humidity of 60%, a photoperiod of 10 hours, and a light intensity of 300-2000 lux. On the second day after sowing the seeds, the ventilation vents of the upper cover were fully opened. On the third day, the upper cover was opened without watering. The time it took for the seeds to completely break through the cover paper after planting was recorded. These micro-vegetables were grown for a total of 8 days. The micro-vegetables had reached a harvestable state. The following data were measured for the micro-vegetables: average micro-vegetable height (mm) and weight of the harvested micro-vegetables (g).

[0163] The following table shows the test results obtained from the experimental example:

[0164] Experimental results: When the hole size is 2mm and the hole spacing is 1mm, the covering layer can be easily broken through and the plants grow evenly and neatly; when the hole size is 2mm, the covering layer is difficult to be broken through, the seeds are trapped in the covering layer with poor ventilation, growth is slow, and yield is reduced.

[0165] As a preferred solution of this embodiment, the constituent material of the cover sheet 3 includes but is not limited to fiber material or paper material. In this embodiment, kraft paper material is preferred. After the cover sheet 3 composed of this material is combined with the matrix sheet 1, a plurality of seed pods containing seeds 6 are formed. There are dotted lines 33 with multiple holes on the edge of the seed pod. When the seed pod is dry, the dotted lines 33 will help it remain stable, but when the seed pod is moistened by water, the fibers around the dotted lines 33 will swell and soften, and the fiber connections will become fragile. This design allows the seeds 6 to break through the dotted lines 33 and remove the cover sheet 3 when germinating, even with only a tiny force, which is beneficial to the growth of the seedlings. The cover sheet 3 is connected to the area (isolation area 15) on the matrix sheet 1 where the seed gathering area 14 is not provided and forms a plurality of seed pods containing seeds 6 with the seed gathering area 14. The material of the cover sheet 3 has a tensile strength of less than 2.5kN / m, a tear strength of less than 200mN, a bursting strength of 80-180Kpa, an air permeability of more than 180ml / min, and a water absorption of less than 10g / m 2 Up to 50g / m 2 Characteristics between.

[0166] Experimental example: Cover sheet 3 material test.

[0167] This experiment investigated the effects of different materials of cover sheets 3 on the cultivation of sprouts.

[0168] For the cut substrate sheet, white radish seeds were evenly spread on the top of the substrate sheet to provide approximately 0.06 g / cm 2The seed density was set at 200 μm and covered with different sizes of covering paper with a hole length of 2 mm and a hole spacing of 2 mm to make seed pods. Each treatment was planted using a micro-vegetable planting device (see Figure 21). The prepared seed pods were placed in a support box, the same amount of tap water (550 mL) was added to the water box, the support box was placed in the water box, and the upper cover was closed. The micro-vegetable planting device was placed in an environment with the following conditions: temperature 24°C, air humidity 60%, photoperiod 10 hours, and light intensity 300-2000 lux. On the second day after sowing the seeds, the ventilation vents of the upper cover were fully opened. On the third day, the upper cover was opened. No watering was required during the process. The number of days after planting when the seeds completely broke through the covering paper was recorded. These micro-vegetables were grown for a total of 7 days. The micro-vegetables had reached a harvestable state. The following data were measured for the micro-vegetables: average micro-vegetable height (mm); weight of the harvested micro-vegetables (g).

[0169] The following table shows the test results obtained from the experimental example:

[0170] As shown in the table above, the kraft paper covering, when combined with the matrix sheet 1, forms multiple protective shells covering the seeds 6, which we call "seed pods." The edges of these pods are marked with dotted lines 33. When the pod is dry, these holes help stabilize it. However, when the pod is moistened, the fibers surrounding these holes swell and soften, weakening the fiber connections near the pod edge. This design allows seeds 6 to break through these holes even with minimal force during germination. This method fully utilizes the properties of kraft paper, allowing seeds 6 to quickly break under the right conditions, promoting germination.

[0171] The matrix sheet 1 and the cover sheet 3 are matched in any of the following ways:

[0172] In the first mode, the matrix sheet 1 and the cover sheet 3 constitute a sealed pod structure, the matrix sheet 1 is provided with seeds 6, the cover sheet 3 is connected to the matrix sheet 1, and the connecting edge of the cover sheet 3 and the matrix sheet 1 is a closed ring. Specifically, before the pod structure is made and sold, a certain amount of seeds 6 are preset in the cavity 5 of the pod structure, as shown in Figure 2. In this way, the user only needs to purchase the pod structure with the corresponding seeds 6 and does not need to purchase the seeds 6 separately, which improves the convenience of the user's planting. When the pod structure adopts the first mode, the matrix sheet 1 can be formed with several sticky glue points (adhesive body 12) for positioning and quantifying the seeds 6. In the preparation process before the pod structure is pre-sold, the matrix sheet 1 can be painted with sticky glue points, and the seeds 6 are positioned at the specified positions of the matrix sheet 1 by the sticky glue points to achieve quantitative uniform distribution of the seeds 6.

[0173] In the second embodiment, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the matrix sheet 1 and the cover sheet 3 form a self-sealing structure. A connecting port 8 is formed between the cover sheet 3 and the matrix sheet 1, connecting to the cavity 5. Seeds 6 are loaded into or removed from the matrix layer through the connecting port 8. The pod structure formed by the cover sheet 3 and the matrix sheet 1 is provided with a self-sealing connection port. The pod structure of this structure can store seeds 6 and be sold as a seed pod, or it can be sold as a pod without storing seeds 6. When the pod structure is filled with seeds 6, the connecting port 8 can be used to adjust the amount of seeds 6 in the pod structure. When the pod structure is empty, the micro-vegetable seeds 6 to be planted can be placed through the connecting port 8. As can be seen, the pod structure with the connecting port 8 can increase the flexibility of the pod structure, allowing users to adjust the amount and type of seeds 6 in the pod structure according to their needs. When the pod structure is a self-sealing structure, a plurality of holes 13 for positioning and quantifying the seeds 6 are formed on the matrix sheet 1. The holes 13 are countersunk structures extending along the thickness direction of the matrix sheet 1. During use, the user can shake the pod structure to ensure that each seed 6 enters the hole 13 (the number of seeds 6 should be less than or slightly larger than the number of holes 13). The seeds 6 can be evenly distributed at the designated positions of the matrix sheet 1 through the holes 13.

[0174] In the embodiment of the present application, by adding adhesive dots or holes 13 on the matrix sheet 1, the uniformity of the arrangement of the seeds 6 in the pod structure can be improved, thereby avoiding the occurrence of the phenomenon of restricted growth of the seedlings in the later stage due to the accumulation of the seeds 6.

[0175] In some possible embodiments, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, a communication port 8 communicating with the cavity 5 is formed between the cover sheet 3 and the matrix sheet 1. One of the cover sheet 3 and the matrix sheet 1 is provided with a first connector 32, and the other is provided with a second connector 11. The first connector 32 and the second connector 11 can be connected to close the communication port 8. The first connector 32 and the second connector 11 are connected and fixed by any one of the following connection methods.

[0176] In the first connection mode, the first connection member 32 and the second connection member 11 are fixed by hot-melt connection.

[0177] In the second connection method, the first connecting member 32 and the second connecting member 11 are bonded and fixed, for example, by adhesive bonding. The first connecting member 32 and the second connecting member 11 are bonded and fixed by Velcro. The two Velcro strips can be fixed to the opposing surfaces of the matrix sheet 1 and the cover sheet 3, respectively, by heat pressing or adhesive bonding. Pressing the cover sheet 3 toward the matrix sheet 1 bonds the two Velcro strips, thereby sealing the pod structure.

[0178] In the third connection method, the first connector 32 and the second connector 11 are snap-fitted together. For example, the first connector 32 and the second connector 11 form a double-bone sealing structure commonly used in ziplock bags. The two side beadings of the double-bone sealing structure are fixed to the opposite surfaces of the matrix sheet 1 and the cover sheet 3 respectively by heat pressing or adhesive bonding. The two side beadings of the double-bone sealing structure can be snap-fitted together by pressing to achieve a sealed pod structure.

[0179] In some possible embodiments, as shown in FIG8 , the microvegetable growing device 100 has an extension portion 4 , and two adjacent microvegetable growing devices 100 in series are connected by the extension portion 4 , and the extension portion 4 is connected to the matrix sheet 1 or the cover sheet 3 of the microvegetable growing device 100 .

[0180] The extension portion 4 may be a portion of the matrix sheet 1 and has the following main functions: first, it provides a mechanical connection between two adjacent micro-vegetable growing devices 100 connected in series. Second, it provides a water transport channel for two adjacent micro-vegetable growing devices 100.

[0181] In the embodiment of the present application, each matrix sheet 1 and the corresponding cover sheet 3 constitute a pod structure. The micro-vegetable planting device 100 may include multiple pod structures. At least one side of each pod structure is provided with an extension portion 4. The extension portion 4 is provided with a connecting structure 41. Through the connecting structure 41, the various pod structures can be combined together to form a seed mat arranged in the horizontal direction. As shown in Figure 8, it can be understood that the extension portion 4 can be an extension section of the matrix sheet 1 or an extension section of the cover sheet 3. The connecting structure 41 can include a sub-button and a female buckle respectively arranged on the extension section 4 of the two pod structures. The sub-button and the female buckle are fastened together to connect multiple pods in series. The main purpose of using this structure is to facilitate the user to manage each pod structure when using multiple pod structures at the same time.

[0182] As shown in Figures 10 and 18, it is a diagram of the use state of the household micro-vegetable planting device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application; before cultivating the seeds 6, the household user can purchase the pod structure and the seeds 6 separately as needed, first put the seeds 6 into the hollow cavity 5 of the pod structure through the connecting port 8 and seal it, and then shake the pod to ensure that the seeds 6 fall into the corresponding holes 13, and ensure that the seeds 6 are evenly distributed on the matrix sheet 1 of the pod structure 1, or the household user can directly purchase the seed pod containing the seeds 6 as needed; when cultivating the seeds 6, it is necessary to use the cultivation tool The cultivation tool comprises at least a water box 71 and a support box 72. The water box 71 contains a certain amount of water. The micro-vegetable planting device is placed in the water box 71 via the support box 72 to ensure that the water-absorbing ear piece 2 can be immersed in water. The cultivation tool cooperates with the water-absorbing ear piece 2 to provide the required moisture to the matrix sheet 1. This ensures that the seeds 6 will not be drowned due to direct contact with water by the matrix sheet 1, nor will they be dried out due to drought when using a pad such as a coconut fiber pad as an absorbent pad because the moisture content cannot be directly monitored. This ensures that the seeds 6 can germinate smoothly. The micro-vegetable planting device 100 provided in this embodiment has a matrix sheet 1 and does not require a large amount of soil and water resources. It requires little skill and experience from the grower, is simple and easy for ordinary home growers, and is particularly suitable for micro-leaf vegetable planting.

[0183] The micro-vegetable planting device 100 of the present embodiment is a pod structure composed of a matrix sheet 1 with strong water absorption and a cover sheet 3 with strong air permeability. In combination with a storage device for holding water, micro-vegetable planting does not require a large amount of soil and water resources. In addition, the seeds 6 are loaded into the pods before pre-sale or loaded by the growers themselves according to their needs, which not only realizes the flexibility of the use of the pod structure, but also ensures a more uniform distribution and more controllable growth of the seeds 6. It has low requirements on the skills and experience of the growers and is simple and easy for ordinary family growers. It does not require frequent maintenance and complicated operations, and family growers can easily obtain healthy, organic, and fresh vegetables after waiting for 5-7 days. It can be seen that the use of the micro-vegetable planting device 100 of the present application reduces the planting time, energy and cost of the growers on the one hand, and helps to reduce the consumption of water resources and energy on the other hand, and is more environmentally friendly. At the same time, because it is made into a pod structure, it is flexible and convenient to use.
