[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] Reference Figures 1-10 This invention provides a multi-layer vegetable planting device, comprising:

[0035] Box 1, with a door 28 on one side wall, and sliding rods 2 vertically fixed between the four corners of the inner top surface and the four corners of the inner bottom surface of box 1.

[0036] Several partitions 3 are slidably connected between four sets of sliding rods 2. A limit component is provided between the partitions 3 and the sliding rods 2. The partitions 3 are used to divide the inner side of the box 1 into several planting chambers.

[0037] Several planting boxes 4 are located in several planting cavities. A first lifting assembly is provided between the two sliding rods 2 away from the box door 28 and the side wall of the planting box 4. A second lifting assembly is provided between the two sliding rods 2 near the box door 28 and the side wall of the planting box 4. The first lifting assembly and the second lifting assembly are respectively connected to four sets of sliding rods 2. The second lifting assembly is slidably set on the side wall of the planting box 4.

[0038] The main function of the sliding rod 2 is to allow the partitions 3 and planting box 4 to move to any height within the box body 1. The main function of the limiting component is to fix the position of the partition 3 after it has moved to the target height. The main function of the first lifting component is to change the height of the rear of the planting box 4, and the main function of the second lifting component is to change the height of the front of the planting box 4. By adjusting the heights of the first and second lifting components respectively, the overall height of the planting box 4 or the angle of the planting box 4 can be changed. Overall, this invention, by setting different lifting components at the front and rear of the planting box, allows the planting box to be adjusted to any position along the sliding rod. Furthermore, by adjusting the heights of the front and rear of the planting box respectively, the angle of the planting box facing the light can be changed. Simultaneously, by setting several height-adjustable partitions, the height of the planting box can be adjusted to accommodate vegetables of different plant heights.

[0039] The design was further optimized by using transparent material for the door 28 to increase the amount of light inside the box 1.

[0040] A control unit 6 is provided on the side wall of the housing 1. The control unit 6 is electrically connected to the first lifting assembly and the second lifting assembly.

[0041] The scheme is further optimized by providing a second slide groove 25 vertically on the side wall of the slide rod 2. A rack 26 is fixedly connected in the second slide groove 25. The rack 26 is correspondingly set with the first lifting component, the second lifting component, and the limiting component.

[0042] like Figure 9 As shown, the first lifting component, the second lifting component, and the limiting component all achieve height changes on the slide bar 2 through the rack 26.

[0043] The scheme is further optimized. The first lifting component includes a first hinge shaft 21 fixedly connected to the side wall of the planting box 4. The first hinge shaft 21 is set perpendicular to the side wall of the planting box 4. A lifting actuator is hinged on the first hinge shaft 21.

[0044] The second lifting assembly includes a first slide groove 10 formed on the side wall of the planting box 4. The first slide groove 10 is parallel to the bottom surface of the planting box 4. A slider 11 is slidably connected in the first slide groove 10. A second hinge shaft 34 is vertically fixedly connected to the side wall of the slider 11 away from the planting box 4. Another lifting actuator is hinged to the second hinge shaft 34.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, when it is necessary to raise the height of the planting box 4, the four sets of lifting actuators on both sides of the planting box 4 are simultaneously raised along the slide bar 2, and the planting box 4 is raised horizontally by pushing the first hinge shaft 21 and the second hinge shaft 34. Similarly, when it is necessary to lower the height of the planting box 4, the four sets of lifting actuators are simultaneously lowered along the slide bar 2.

[0046] When it is necessary to rotate the planting box 4 towards the door 28 to adjust its angle so that it can have a better angle to receive light, the lifting actuator on the second hinge shaft 34 is controlled to descend along the slide bar 2. At this time, the slider 11 moves towards the front end of the planting box 4 in the first slide groove 10, and the planting box 4 deflects towards the door 28 at a certain angle to achieve a greater light-receiving effect.

[0047] To further optimize the design, the lifting actuator on the second hinge shaft 34 includes a connecting block 12. The connecting block 12 is hinged to the second hinge shaft 34. A limiting ring 13 is vertically fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting block 12 away from the planting box 4. The limiting ring 13 is slidably connected to the slide rod 2. A driving mechanism is provided between the connecting block 12 and the slide rod 2.

[0048] In a further optimized design, the drive mechanism includes a drive gear 14 rotatably connected within the connecting block 12. The drive gear 14 passes through the inner wall of the limiting ring 13 and meshes with the rack 26. The drive gear 14 is coaxially and fixedly connected to a worm gear 33 via a connecting shaft 24. A motor 23 is fixedly connected within the connecting block 12. A worm 22 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the motor 23, and the worm 22 meshes with the worm gear 33.

[0049] To further optimize the design, a hinge hole 20 is provided on the top of the side wall of the connecting block 12, and the first hinge shaft 21 and the second hinge shaft 34 are rotatably connected in the hinge hole 20.

[0050] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the control unit 6 controls the motor 23 to rotate, the motor 23 drives the worm 22 to rotate, the worm 22 drives the worm wheel 33 to rotate, and the worm wheel 33 drives the drive gear 14 to rotate through the connecting shaft 24. When the drive gear 14 rotates, it meshes with the rack 26 to realize the sliding of the limit ring 13 on the slide bar 2, thereby driving the planting box 4 to adjust its height.

[0051] In a further optimized design, the limiting component includes a stop gear 18 rotatably connected to the bottom of the partition 3. The stop gear 18 meshes with the rack 26. A through groove 17 is provided on the top of the partition 3, and a lever 16 is slidably connected in the through groove 17. A toothed groove 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lever 16. The lever 16 is used to make the toothed groove 19 mesh with the stop gear 18 or to make the toothed groove 19 move away from the stop gear 18.

[0052] In a further optimized design, through holes 15 are provided at the four corners of the partition 3, the slide rod 2 is slidably disposed in the through holes 15, and the stop gear 18 is disposed close to the through holes 15.

[0053] like Figures 6-7 As shown, when the height of the partition 3 needs to be adjusted, first move the levers 16 at the four corners of the partition 3 away from the stop gear 18, causing the tooth groove 19 to disengage from the stop gear 18. At this point, the height of the partition 3 can be adjusted. When the height of the partition 3 changes, the stop gear 18 rotates. When the partition 3 reaches the predetermined height, move the levers 16 towards the stop gear 18, causing the tooth groove 19 to engage with the stop gear 18. At this point, the stop gear 18 cannot rotate, and the height of the partition 3 is fixed.

[0054] Further optimization of the scheme: water and fertilizer spraying components are respectively installed on the top inner side of the box 1 and the bottom of several partitions 3. The water and fertilizer spraying components located at the bottom of the partitions 3 include several water pipes 8 fixedly connected to the bottom of the partitions 3. Several nozzles 9 are respectively connected to the side walls of the several water pipes 8. The several nozzles 9 are used to spray fertilizer into the planting box 4.

[0055] The bottom of the container 1 is equipped with a water and fertilizer storage tank 5, and a liquid pump 27 is installed in the water and fertilizer storage tank 5. The liquid outlet of the liquid pump 27 is connected to several water pipes 8 through a flexible hose.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the main function of the water and fertilizer storage tank 5 is to store water or fertilizer. When it is necessary to apply fertilizer to the vegetables, the liquid pump 27 can be started through the control unit. The liquid pump 27 pumps water or fertilizer into the water pipes 8 of each layer, and then sprays it onto the vegetables through the nozzles 9 on the water pipes 8.

[0057] The water pipe 8 and the liquid pump 27 are connected by a flexible hose, which can prevent the partition 3 from being affected when adjusting its height.

[0058] Further optimization of the design: several supplementary lights 7 are fixedly connected to the top inner side of the box 1 and the bottom of several partitions 3 respectively.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, the main function of the supplemental light 7 is to provide supplemental lighting for vegetables in weather with low light intensity.

[0060] In a further optimized design, a ventilation box 29 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the housing 1. A main air duct 31 is vertically arranged inside the ventilation box 29. One end of the main air duct 31 is sealed, and the other end is equipped with a fan 30. Several branch pipes 32 are connected from top to bottom on the side wall of the main air duct 31. The branch pipes 32 pass through the side wall of the housing 1 and are connected to the inside of the housing 1. An air outlet is correspondingly opened on the other side wall of the housing 1 to allow the air inside the housing 1 to flow out.

[0061] like Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, after a period of planting, the oxygen content in the air inside the box 1 will decrease, requiring ventilation. Specifically, the fan 30 can be activated by the control unit 6. The fan 30 blows outside air into the main air duct 31 and into each layer of the box 1 through the branch pipes 32, while blowing the low-oxygen air in the box 1 out through the air outlet, thus achieving the ventilation effect.

[0062] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this invention, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.

[0063] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Various modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit of the present invention should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
