Description

Improvement of seedling tray structure

This creation involves the technical field of planting and cultivating seedlings, especially the seedling tray structure used in the seedling stage of artificially restored plants such as flowers, vegetables, and trees.

The so-called seedling tray refers to a tray that provides seedlings of various types of plants for seedling cultivation. In the plant seedling cultivation stage, in order to prevent the cultivated plants from having difficulty controlling water and nutrients due to excessive space, seedling trays are first used to cultivate seedlings of various types of plants, so as to effectively save cultivation space and plant management.

Among them, the seedling tray is mainly arranged on the tray body with multiple planting holes arranged in sequence with the same spacing in the vertical and horizontal directions, and a drainage hole is arranged at the bottom of the planting hole to allow excess water to be discharged from the drainage hole, so that the plant seedlings can be planted in each planting hole of the tray body, so that the plant seedlings can grow smoothly in each planting hole, allowing the planter to manage conveniently. In addition, there are also announcements such as Announcement No. M467300 "Seedling tray", Announcement No. M534974 "Planting cultivation hole tray structure", Announcement No. M615020 "Stackable cultivation hole tray, hole tray set and planting box set for planting", etc.

However, in order to facilitate the carrying and transportation of the culture plug tray, or to make the culture plug tray into a gift box for sale or gift giving, a set of outer packaging boxes needs to be molded, such as the box of patent No. M615020, which includes a bottom box and a transparent cover, so that the seedlings will not be displaced and damaged during transportation or carrying. However, in actual operation, because the seedlings are not well fixed and protected, they will still be loose and displaced during transportation or carrying, and are easily damaged. Therefore, how to improve the fixed protection of seedling transportation in use is still a focus of research and improvement.

Today, the creator, in line with the spirit of continuous improvement and adhering to the rich design, development and actual manufacturing experience in the relevant industry for many years, provides an improved seedling tray structure in order to achieve the purpose of better practical value.

The main purpose of this invention is to provide an improved seedling tray structure, especially a seedling tray structure suitable for use in the seedling stage of artificially restored plants such as flowers, vegetables, and trees.

The main purpose and effect of this invention's improved seedling tray structure are achieved by the following specific technical means:

It mainly includes a plate body, which is composed of a plurality of predetermined arranged hole grooves. The hole grooves are used for planting and raising seedlings, and drainage holes are provided at the bottom of the hole grooves. The hole grooves are arranged in a ring shape, and a plurality of connecting area surfaces are formed on the plate body. Embedding grooves and convex clamping columns are provided on the connecting area surfaces, and the embedding grooves and the convex clamping columns are arranged to correspond to each other. Thus, through the design that the embedding grooves and the convex clamping columns are located in the same seedling raising plate, the seedling raising plates can be covered with each other, which is convenient for seedling raising packaging and transportation and saves mold opening costs, thereby achieving practical effects and advantages.

The invention provides a preferred embodiment of the improved structure of the seedling raising plate, wherein a convex ring is provided at the end of the convex clamping column, and the convex ring is pressed against the inner wall surface of the embedded groove.

The present invention provides a preferred embodiment of the improved structure of the seedling raising plate, wherein the height of the convex clamping column is greater than the depth of the embedded groove.

The invention provides a preferred embodiment of the improved structure of the seedling raising plate, wherein the cylindrical surface of the convex clamping column is provided with a plurality of reinforcing concave ribs.

The invention provides a preferred embodiment of the improved structure of the seedling tray, wherein the upper part of the hole grooves is an open end, the bottom is a closed end, and the outer diameter of the open end is larger than the outer diameter of the closed end, so that the tray body can be stacked accordingly.

In order to make the technical content, purpose and effect of this creation more complete and clear, we explain it in detail below. Please also refer to the disclosed diagrams and figure numbers:

Please refer to the first to third figures for the three-dimensional appearance, top view and partially enlarged three-dimensional schematic diagram of the improved structure of the seedling tray of this invention. It mainly includes a tray body (1), which is composed of a plurality of predetermined arranged hole grooves (11). The hole grooves (11) are used for planting and raising seedlings. The upper part is an open end (111) and the bottom is a closed end (112). A drainage hole (113) is provided at the closed end (112). Its characteristics are:

The holes (11) are arranged in a ring shape to form a plurality of connection areas (10) on the end surface of the disk body (1). The connection areas (10) are provided with a plurality of embedded grooves (12) and a plurality of convex clamping columns (13), and each embedded groove (12) and each convex clamping column (13) are arranged in correspondence with each other.

When in use, please refer to the first to ninth figures, which show that the soil medium can be directly filled into the hole groove (11) from the open end (111) of the hole groove, and then the seedlings (or seeds) to be cultivated are placed in the soil medium in the hole groove (11), and the seedling cultivation operation can be carried out. In addition to having a better fixing effect on the soil medium through the covering shape of the hole groove (11), the soil medium can also maintain the proper water retention, and the drainage hole (113) at the closed end (112) allows the soil medium to have better drainage and air permeability.

Then, when the cultivated seedlings are shipped or transported for packaging, the other seedling tray can be covered accordingly, so that the embedded groove (12) of the one tray body (1) corresponds to the convex locking column (13) of the other tray body (1), and the convex locking column (13) of the one tray body (1) corresponds to the embedded groove (12) of the other tray body (1) to lock each other [as shown in the third, fifth to seventh figures]; further, the height of the convex locking column (13) is greater than the depth of the embedded groove (12), and a convex ring (131) can be further provided at the end of the convex locking column (13), so that the convex ring (131) is pressed against the inner wall surface of the embedded groove (12) to produce a more secure locking effect. Furthermore, in order to ensure that the convex clamping column (13) will not be flattened when it is pressed into the embedding groove (12), a plurality of reinforcing concave ribs (132) are provided on the cylindrical surface of the convex clamping column (13) [as shown in the fourth figure], and the strength of the convex clamping column (13) that can withstand force is increased by using the plurality of reinforcing concave ribs (132).

Please refer to the eighth figure. When the two seedling trays are correspondingly covered, because the height of the convex clamping column (13) is greater than the depth of the embedded groove (12), the end faces of the tray bodies (1) of the two seedling trays are not in contact with each other, but are at a relative distance (A), so that the covered seedlings have space for air circulation and will not be suffocated. Then, the transportation process can also be as shown in the ninth figure, where a base (B) is set on the lower seedling tray, and then a box cover (C) is covered on the upper seedling tray [or the box cover can be used directly]. The use method can be changed according to the user. This creation is easy to assemble and use and has multiple applications.

In addition, please refer to FIG. 10 , the hole grooves (11) of the plate body (1) of the present invention have an open end (111) at the top and a closed end (112) at the bottom, and the outer diameter of the open end (111) is larger than the outer diameter of the closed end (112), so that when the plate body (1) is stored or transported, a plurality of plate bodies (1) can be stacked correspondingly to reduce the transportation space.

The aforementioned embodiments or diagrams do not limit the structural form of the present invention. Any appropriate changes or modifications by a person having ordinary knowledge in the relevant technical field should be deemed to be within the patent scope of the present invention.

From the above description, it can be seen that compared with the existing technical means, this invention mainly has the following advantages:

1. The structure of the seedling tray of this invention is improved. By simultaneously providing a fixing groove and a convex clamping column on the tray body, two seedling trays can be directly buckled together for packaging and transportation, thus achieving the effect of convenience in use.

2. As mentioned above, there is no need to develop a module for the box cover. The single mold for the seedling tray can have the function of a box cover, effectively saving the mold cost.

3. In addition to growing seedlings, the creative seedling tray can also be covered with each other to assist in transportation, which has good fixation and protection for the seedlings. It can be covered with a box cover after being covered with each other, or the box cover can be used alone. The usage method can be changed according to the user, so as to achieve the effect of easy assembly and use and multiple applications.

4. The outer diameter of the open end of this creative seedling tray is larger than the outer diameter of the closed end, so that most tray bodies can be stacked correspondingly when stored or transported, effectively reducing the transportation and storage space and saving transportation costs.

In summary, the embodiments of this invention can achieve the expected effects of use, and the specific structure disclosed is not only not seen in similar products, but also has not been disclosed before the application. It fully complies with the provisions and requirements of the Patent Law. Therefore, an application for a new patent is filed in accordance with the law. I sincerely request your review and grant of the patent. I would really appreciate the convenience.
