Description

Plant end plate

The present invention relates to plant planting equipment, in particular to a plant end plate.

Before planting plants, it is usually necessary to cultivate seedlings before providing the plants for planting in flower pots or gardens. In terms of cultivating seedling plants, they are generally cultivated in a greenhouse so that the plants can grow stably in an environment suitable for growth. In the case of multiple plants, each plant will be placed in a plant end tray in advance to facilitate growth. In terms of management, moreover, because the space in the greenhouse is precious, the plants in the plant end trays are often quite dense to achieve the effect of saving space.

However, the structures of conventional plant end trays for accommodating plants are all in the shape of an inverted cone with an upward opening that gradually becomes wider. Therefore, after the plants are accommodated, as the plants grow, their leaves will extend to all sides, causing each plant to The leaves cover each other from sunlight, which affects photosynthesis. Moreover, due to the outward expansion of the leaves, the leaves cannot stand upright, so the plants cannot be planted densely. Therefore, how to avoid the problem of plants being unable to stand upright due to leaf interaction will be a key challenge to be faced.

One object of the present invention is to provide a plant end plate that can keep the leaves of the plant standing upright when accommodating the plant, without spreading around and covering the sunlight of other plants. Another object of the present invention is to make the leaves of the plant stand upright. The leaves stand upright, allowing the plants to be planted more densely to increase the planting density of the plants.

In order to achieve the above object, the plant end plate of the present invention includes at least one receiving seat, which longitudinally defines a first axis and includes a lower receiving chamber and an upper receiving chamber; the inner wall of the lower receiving chamber is opposite to the third receiving chamber. An axis has a first angle; the inner wall of the upper chamber has a second angle relative to the first axis, and the upper chamber is located above the lower chamber and connected to the lower chamber; wherein the first angle is greater than The second angle, and the second angle is greater than or equal to 0°, accordingly, the opening above the upper chamber will not be too large, so that the leaves of the plants can stand upright without spreading around, so that each plant can be avoided. The leaves in between cover each other, which can also increase the planting density of the plants.
