[0041] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0042] like Figure 1-Figure 11 As shown, a ship-mounted plant planting container comprises a box body 1, in which a plurality of fixing units 3 are arranged, and a planting assembly 2 is rotatably mounted on the fixing units 3. Gaps are left between the fixing units 3 to form a passage for walking.
[0043] Among them, the fixed unit 3 includes a base 31, and the base 31 is detachably installed in the box body 1. It is convenient to install and disassemble the fixed unit 3. When arriving at the port, the fixed unit 3 or the container can be unloaded to the ground, and it is suitable for planting environments at sea or on land. A fixed frame 32 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the base 31. The fixed frame 32 is a semi-enclosed structure. The opening of the semi-enclosed structure faces the aisle so that there is enough space to facilitate the operation of the staff. A horizontally arranged central axis 321 is fixedly installed on the fixed frame 32. The position of the central axis 321 is fixed and is mainly used to install the planting component 2.
[0044] Among them, the planting component 2 includes two groups of turntables 21, and the turntables 21 are rotatably mounted on the central axis 321. Specifically, a coaxial, rotatable support wheel is installed on the central axis 321, and an installation opening is reserved in the middle of the turntable 21. The support wheel is fixed in the installation opening, and the turntable 21 is rotatably connected to the central axis 321 through the support wheel. A plurality of fixed tubes 22 are fixedly installed between the two turntables 21, and the plurality of fixed tubes 22 are distributed in an array around the axis of the central axis 321, and the fixed tubes 22 are arranged near the edge of the turntable 21, and a rotating cylinder 23 is rotatably sleeved on the outside of the fixed tubes 22. In other words, the fixed tubes 22 can rotate around the central axis 321 with the turntable 21, and the rotating cylinder 23 can rotate around the fixed tubes 22. A hanging box 24 for planting plants is fixedly installed at the lower end of the rotating cylinder 23.
[0045] In order to further improve the space utilization rate in the container, a plurality of rotating drums 23 are provided, and the plurality of rotating drums 23 are evenly distributed along the axis of the fixed tube 22 , so that the hanging boxes 24 fixed under the rotating drums 23 are closely arranged.
[0046] It should be pointed out that when the turntable 21 rotates around the central axis 321, each fixed tube 22 will pass through the aisle in turn, so the operator only needs to stand in the aisle to take care of the plants in each hanging box 24 at the same time without the need for climbing tools, which can significantly reduce safety risks compared to the fixed planting racks in the prior art. Moreover, when the fixed tube 22 rotates with the turntable 21, the hanging box 24 can always maintain a stable state under the action of its own weight without tipping over, and its principle is similar to that of a Ferris wheel structure.
[0047] Furthermore, when arranging containers, the central axis 321 can be arranged along the length direction of the hull. When encountering transverse waves, since the hanging box 24 is rotatably installed on the fixed tube 22, the hanging box 24 can offset part of the impact by shaking left and right. The hanging box 24 is in a suspended state and can always remain vertical, and the plants and soil inside it are not easy to fall off.
[0048] In order to realize the driving of the turntable 21:
[0049] In one embodiment, two sets of fixing frames 32 are provided, and the fixing frames 32 are U-shaped structures, and the opening of the U-shaped structure is arranged toward the middle of the box body 1, that is, toward the aisle. Multiple sets of driving wheels 34 are installed on the fixing frames 32, and independent driving sources are arranged inside the driving wheels 34. The multiple sets of driving wheels 34 act on the outer peripheral wall of the rotating disk 21 at the same time, so as to drive the rotating disk 21 to rotate around the central axis 321. At the same time, in order to further realize the axial limit of the rotating disk 21, a retaining ring is also provided on the driving wheel 34.
[0050] In another embodiment, an end face gear ring may be fixed on the side wall of the turntable 21 , and a power box 36 may be disposed on the fixing frame 32 , so that the turntable 21 may be driven to rotate by the power box 36 .
[0051] To meet the planting environment of plants in containers:
[0052] A reinforcing plate 33 is fixedly installed between the two sets of fixing frames 32. The reinforcing plate 33 is used to improve the strength of the fixing frame 32 structure. The reinforcing plate 33 is arranged near the side wall of the box body 1. A growth lamp 331 is installed on the side wall of the reinforcing plate 33 near the central axis 321.
[0053] A pouring assembly 35 is provided below the central axis 321 .
[0054] When the turntable 21 rotates, each hanging box 24 will be illuminated by the growth lamp 331 and watered by the watering assembly 35 in turn. Therefore, compared with the existing fixed planting rack, the present application can reduce the difficulty of arranging the growth lamp 331 and the watering assembly 35. At the same time, as the turntable 21 continues to rotate, the plants in each hanging box 24 can obtain more balanced growth conditions.
[0055] The specific structure of the watering assembly 35 is as follows:
[0056] The irrigation assembly 35 includes a main water pipe 351, which is arranged along the direction of the central axis 321 and is fixedly installed below the central axis 321. The main water pipe 351 is connected to an external fresh water resource. A plurality of water branch pipes 352 corresponding to the hanging box 24 are arranged on both sides of the main water pipe 351. The water outlet end of the water branch pipe 352 is arranged within the rotation track of the fixed pipe 22, and is used to irrigate the hanging box 24 running to the bottom.
[0057] In addition, a water collecting tank 311 is provided above the base 31 for collecting spilled fresh water to achieve recycling of water resources.
[0058] At the same time, in order to meet the ventilation conditions required for plant growth:
[0059] A fan 37 is mounted on the fixed frame 32, and the output end of the fan 37 is connected to the interior of each fixed tube 22 through a splitter cover 371, wherein the fan 37 is fixedly mounted on the fixed frame 32, and the fan 37 and the splitter cover 371 are rotationally sealed and connected, and the rotation center of the splitter cover 371 coincides with the rotation center of the rotating disk 21. The splitter cover 371 is fixedly arranged on the rotating disk 21 and is respectively connected to a plurality of fixed tubes 22.
[0060] The rotating cylinder 23 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 231, and the fixed tube 22 is provided with air inlet holes 221 at positions corresponding to the rotating cylinder 23, so that the fan 37 can transmit airflow to the ventilation holes 231 through the air inlet holes 221 on the fixed tube 22, thereby achieving the effect of ventilation for the plants.
[0061] There are multiple groups of ventilation holes 231, and the number of ventilation holes 231 in each group is set to about 5-8, and the multiple groups of ventilation holes 231 are distributed in a circular array around the axis of the rotating cylinder 23; the number of air inlet holes 221 is set to one group. The number of air inlet holes 221 is also set to 5-8, so that each air inlet hole 221 can correspond to each group of ventilation holes 231 one by one.
[0062] In the present application, since the rotating cylinder 23 and the fixed tube 22 rotate, the position of the ventilation hole 231 connected to the air inlet 221 is not fixed, so as the hanging box 24 moves to different positions, the airflow will flow out from different ventilation holes 231. Therefore, compared with the fixed ventilation ducts arranged in the fixed planting rack in the prior art, the present application can automatically adjust the direction of the airflow to avoid the airflow always acting on certain hanging boxes 24, so that the plants can obtain a more uniform ventilation environment.
[0063] The arrangement scheme of each group of ventilation holes 231 is as follows:
[0064] In one embodiment, each group of ventilation holes 231 is equidistantly distributed along the axis of the rotating cylinder 23, that is, the ventilation holes 231 in each group are arranged along a straight line. And the plurality of air inlet holes 221 are also equidistantly distributed along the axis of the fixed tube 22. When the rotating cylinder 23 and the fixed tube 22 rotate relative to each other, the airflow is discharged from the ventilation holes 231 of each group in sequence, so that the airflow is discharged along the radial direction of the rotating cylinder 23.
[0065] Furthermore, in this case, the airflow directions above the hanging boxes 24 at each position are different, so that multiple airflows interact with each other and evenly disperse the fresh air in the container.
[0066] In another embodiment, each group of ventilation holes 231 is distributed in a spiral around the axis of the rotating cylinder 23, that is, two adjacent ventilation holes 231 in each group of ventilation holes 231 are in different vertical columns, and multiple ventilation holes 231 in the same group are distributed along the circumference of the rotating cylinder 23. And the multiple air inlet holes 221 are also distributed in a spiral along the axis of the fixed tube 22, so that the airflow is discharged along the circumference of the rotating cylinder 23.
[0067] These two ventilation methods can be applied to the cultivation of different varieties of plants, providing more diverse choices.
[0068] It should be noted that in order to prevent the hanging box 24 from shaking when the staff is tending to the plants, a pin can be inserted into two corresponding ventilation holes 231 and air inlet holes 221 to keep the positions of the rotating cylinder 23 and the fixed tube 22 unchanged. That is, the ventilation holes 231 and air inlet holes 221 can not only achieve the effect of ventilation, but also play the role of auxiliary positioning.
[0069] In order to achieve continuous ventilation, a circulation groove 232 is opened on the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 23, between two adjacent groups of ventilation holes 231, and a sealing flange 222 is provided at the outer end of the air inlet hole 221. When the sealing flange 222 and the ventilation holes 231 are staggered, the air inlet hole 221 is connected with each ventilation hole 231 through the circulation groove 232.
[0070] When the air inlet 221 is aligned with the ventilation hole 231, the airflow is discharged through the ventilation hole 231 at that location. When the air inlet 221 is misaligned with the ventilation hole 231, the airflow is discharged evenly from the plurality of ventilation holes 231 through the flow slot 232. This arrangement can change the direction of the airflow while also adjusting the size of the airflow, so that the airflow is continuously output outward in bursts, simulating the effect of natural wind.
[0071] In order to prevent gas leakage, sealing rings 233 are fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating cylinder 23 , and the inner wall of the sealing ring 233 fits with the outer wall of the fixed tube 22 , so that a closed space is formed inside the rotating cylinder 23 .
[0072] The working principle is as follows: when the plants need to be tended, the turntable 21 is driven to rotate, so that the hanging box 24 that needs to be tended moves to the position of the aisle along with the turntable 21, so that the staff can tend to the plants in the hanging box 24.
[0073] Under normal circumstances, the driving turntable 21 rotates continuously. During the movement of the hanging boxes 24, the plants in each hanging box 24 can be exposed to more uniform light, moisture and ventilation conditions, so that the plants grow more evenly.
[0074] At the same time, based on the setting of the air inlet 221 and the ventilation hole 231, the direction and size of the airflow can be adjusted to avoid direct airflow, which is also more conducive to the full contact between the external fresh air and the plants in each hanging box 24.
[0075] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
