Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vegetable cultivation, specifically relating to a mobile vegetable cultivation device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of urban agriculture and home gardening, vertical vegetable growing racks have been widely used due to their ability to efficiently utilize space and meet diverse planting needs. To facilitate flexible deployment of growing racks in different areas, existing technologies often use casters at the bottom of the vertical vegetable growing rack to achieve convenient overall movement, greatly improving the flexibility and convenience of use.

[0003] However, when vertical vegetable growing racks need to be moved to different floors, they inevitably have to traverse sloping sections. In practical applications, it has been found that the casters are difficult to effectively control the direction and stability of the growing rack when moving on slopes, easily causing the entire vertical vegetable growing rack to tilt. When the growing rack tilts, the soil in the planting troughs used for soil cultivation will accumulate to one side, causing the plant roots to be squeezed or exposed, severely affecting the roots' absorption of water and nutrients, thus hindering the normal growth and development of the vegetables, and even causing plant death.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a mobile vegetable planting device that can maintain vertical movement even when located on a slope. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a mobile vegetable planting device. This device aims to solve the problem that, in existing technologies, vertical vegetable planting racks inevitably need to traverse sloping sections when moved to different floors. In practical applications, it has been found that when the casters move on slopes, it is difficult to effectively control the direction and stability of the planting rack, easily causing the entire vertical vegetable planting rack to tilt. When the planting rack tilts, the soil in the planting troughs (using soil cultivation methods) will accumulate to one side, causing the plant roots to be squeezed or exposed, severely affecting the roots' absorption of water and nutrients, thus hindering the normal growth and development of vegetables, and even causing plant death.

[0007] (2) Technical solution

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a mobile vegetable planting device, including a base, support frames welded to the four upper corners of the base, a canopy fixedly connected to the inner side of the support frames, a canopy welded to the upper end of the support frames, cultivation pots fixedly connected to the inner side of the support frames, sprinkler irrigation mechanisms provided at the inner and outer ends of the base, a support mechanism provided at the lower end of the support frames, and moving mechanisms provided at the left and right ends of the front and rear sides of the base. The moving mechanisms include fixed plates fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the front and rear sides of the base, threaded rods connected inside the fixed plates, a rotating handle welded to the upper end of the threaded rods, and casters installed at the lower end of the threaded rods.

[0009] Furthermore, the sprinkler mechanism includes a liquid storage tank located at the right end of the base. An inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the upper right end of the liquid storage tank. A water pump is installed on the left side of the bottom inner side of the base. A connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the lower left end of the liquid storage tank. An L-shaped pipe is installed at the outlet end of the water pump. Water delivery pipes are installed at equal intervals on the right end of the L-shaped pipe. Sprinkler heads are installed at equal intervals on the lower end of the water delivery pipes.

[0010] Furthermore, the support mechanism includes symmetrical side plates welded to the front and rear ends of the lower side of the base, and a round shaft is welded to the adjacent side of two adjacent side plates at the front and rear ends. Support plates are symmetrically fixedly connected to the right side of the right side plate and the left side plate of the lower side of the base. An outer frame is fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the lower side of the base. A spring is fixedly connected to the inner side of the outer frame, and a rectangular sleeve is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring.

[0011] Furthermore, a threaded hole is provided in the middle of the interior of the fixing plate, and the outer side of the threaded rod is threaded to the inner side of the threaded hole.

[0012] Furthermore, the end of the connecting pipe furthest from the storage tank is connected to the inlet of the water pump, and the water delivery pipe at the right end of the L-shaped pipe is located above the cultivation pot.

[0015] Furthermore, the outer side of the support plate away from the side plate is slidably connected to the inner side of the rectangular frame.

[0016] (3) Beneficial effects

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] This invention features a moving mechanism. When the rotating handle is turned so that the threaded rod rotates in the threaded hole, the threaded rod moves relative to the fixed plate, which in turn moves the casters. This allows the casters at both ends to be adjusted to different heights according to the slope angle that the vegetable planting rack will traverse. The height difference between the casters at both ends can support the vegetable planting rack in a vertical position on the slope, preventing the entire vegetable planting rack from tilting on the slope.

[0019] This utility model, by setting up a support mechanism, allows the rectangular sleeve to be pushed into the outer frame after the vegetable planting rack is moved to the placement position. At this time, the rectangular sleeve moves out from the outside of the support plate. Then, the support plate is rotated towards the inclined plate until it contacts the inclined plate. Then, the rotating handle is rotated to drive the casters to move upward relative to the rotating handle, causing the entire vegetable planting rack to move downward until the casters are higher than the bottom surface of the support plate. The support plate will then support the entire vegetable planting rack. This allows the support plate to replace the casters used for movement to support the entire vegetable planting rack when it is placed, avoiding damage to the casters due to prolonged pressure, which would prevent the rack from becoming immobile.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] This specific embodiment is a mobile vegetable planting device, and its structural schematic diagram is shown below. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the system includes a base 1, support frames 2 welded to the four upper corners of the base 1, a canopy 3 fixedly connected to the inner side of the support frame 2, a canopy 3 welded to the upper end of the support frame 2, cultivation pots 4 fixedly connected to the inner side of the support frame 2, and a sprinkler mechanism provided at both the inner and outer ends of the base 1. The sprinkler mechanism includes a liquid storage tank 501 located at the right end inside the base 1, an inlet pipe 502 fixedly connected to the upper right end of the liquid storage tank 501, a water pump 503 installed on the left side of the bottom inner side of the base 1, a connecting pipe 504 fixedly connected to the lower left end of the liquid storage tank 501, an L-shaped pipe 505 installed at the outlet end of the water pump 503, water delivery pipes 506 installed at equal intervals at the right end of the L-shaped pipe 505, and sprinkler heads 507 installed at equal intervals at the lower end of the water delivery pipes 506. The end of the connecting pipe 504 furthest from the storage tank 501 is connected to the inlet of the water pump 503. The water delivery pipe 506 at the right end of the L-shaped pipe 505 is positioned above the cultivation pot 4. Thus, by turning on the water pump 503, the culture solution in the storage tank 501 can be drawn into the L-shaped pipe 505 through the connecting pipe 504, then flows into the water delivery pipe 506, and is sprayed downwards from the sprinkler head 507 to the top of the cultivation pot 4 to irrigate the vegetables in the cultivation pot 4.

[0030] Cooperate Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a support mechanism is provided at the lower end of the support frame 2. The support mechanism includes symmetrical side plates 601 welded to the front and rear ends of the lower left and right sides of the base 1. A circular shaft 602 is welded to the adjacent side of the two adjacent side plates 601 at the front and rear ends. A support plate 604 is symmetrically and fixedly connected to the right side of the right side plate 601 and the left side of the left side plate 601 at the lower left side of the base 1. A through-hole is opened at the upper end of the support plate 604. The front and rear sides of the support plate 604 are slidably connected to the adjacent side of the two side plates 601 at the front and rear ends of the lower base 1. The outer side of the support plate 604 abuts against the outer side of the inclined plate 603. This allows the support plate 604 to rotate around the circular shaft 602 between the side plates 601.

[0031] The base 1 has an outer frame 605 fixedly connected to its left and right ends on the lower side. A spring 606 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the outer frame 605, and a rectangular sleeve 607 is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring 606. The inner side of the outer frame 605 is slidably connected to the outer side of the rectangular sleeve 607. The outer side of the support plate 604 away from the side plate 601 is slidably connected to the inner side of the rectangular sleeve 607. Thus, by first pushing the rectangular sleeve 607 to the inner side of the outer frame 605, then rotating the support plate 604 around the circular axis 602 to the bottom of the base 1 and keeping it horizontal, and then releasing the rectangular sleeve 607, the spring 606 rebounds and pushes the rectangular sleeve 607 to the outer side of the support plate 604 away from the side plate 601, thereby fixing the support plate 604 to the bottom of the base 1.

[0032] Cooperate Figure 6 As shown, the base 1 has moving mechanisms on both the left and right ends of its front and rear sides. These moving mechanisms include fixed plates 701 fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the front and rear sides of the base 1. A threaded rod 702 is connected inside the fixed plate 701. A rotating handle 703 is welded to the upper end of the threaded rod 702, and a caster wheel 704 is installed at the lower end of the threaded rod 702. A through-hole is formed in the middle of the fixed plate 701, and the outer side of the threaded rod 702 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the threaded hole. When the rotating handle 703 is rotated, causing the threaded rod 702 to rotate within the threaded hole, the threaded rod 702 moves relative to the fixed plate 701, thereby moving the caster wheel 704. This allows the caster wheel 704 to be adjusted to different heights according to the slope angle the vegetable planting rack will traverse, ensuring the height difference between the caster wheel 704 supports the vegetable planting rack vertically on the slope and preventing the entire vegetable planting rack from tilting.

[0033] Working principle: When the vegetable planting rack needs to be moved, rotating the handle 703 causes the threaded rod 702 to rotate relative to the fixed plate 701 and move downwards, raising the entire vegetable planting rack until the support plate 604 moves up and no longer touches the ground. Then, the vegetable planting rack is pushed to move via the universal wheels 704 at the bottom. When the vegetable planting rack needs to cross a slope, rotating the handle 703 above the universal wheel 704 that first contacts the slope causes the vegetable planting rack to move while the universal wheel 704 moves downwards to contact the slope, keeping the vegetable planting rack vertical. This continues until the universal wheel 704 at the other end also contacts the slope. At this point, rotating the handle 703 stops. The universal wheels 704 at both ends support the vegetable planting rack vertically as it moves up the slope with a suitable height difference, ensuring that the vegetable planting rack remains vertical throughout the entire transport process.

[0034] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
