[0041] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the application, but not all the embodiments of the application.

[0042] As Figures 1-11 shown in the figure, a marine plant planting container includes a box body 1, a plurality of fixed units 3 are arranged in the box body 1, and a planting assembly 2 is rotatably arranged on the fixed units 3. Gaps are left between the fixed units 3 to form a passageway for walking.

[0043] The fixed unit 3 includes a base 31, which is detachably arranged in the box body 1. The fixed unit 3 can be conveniently installed and detached, and the fixed unit 3 or the container can be unloaded to the ground when arriving at the port, which is suitable for planting environment on sea or land. A fixed frame 32 is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the base 31, and the fixed frame 32 is a semi-enclosed structure. The opening of the semi-enclosed structure faces the passageway, so that enough space is left for workers to work conveniently. A horizontally arranged central shaft 321 is fixedly arranged on the fixed frame 32. The position of the central shaft 321 is fixed and immovable, and the central shaft 321 is mainly used for installing the planting assembly 2.

[0044] The planting assembly 2 comprises two groups of rotating discs 21 which are rotatably arranged on the central shaft 321. Specifically, the coaxial and rotatable supporting wheels are arranged on the central shaft 321, the rotating disc 21 is provided with a mounting hole in the middle, the supporting wheel is fixed in the mounting hole, and the rotating disc 21 is rotatably connected with the central shaft 321 through the supporting wheel. A plurality of fixed pipes 22 are fixedly arranged between the two rotating discs 21, the plurality of fixed pipes 22 are arrayed around the axis of the central shaft 321, and the fixed pipes 22 are arranged close to the edges of the rotating discs 21. A rotating cylinder 23 is rotatably arranged outside the fixed pipes 22. That is, the fixed pipes 22 can rotate around the central shaft 321 with the rotating discs 21, and the rotating cylinder 23 can rotate around the fixed pipes 22. The hanging boxes 24 for planting plants are fixedly arranged 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 cylinders 23 are arranged, the plurality of rotating cylinders 23 are equidistantly arranged along the axis of the fixed pipes 22, and the hanging boxes 24 fixed below the rotating cylinders 23 are closely arranged.

[0046] It should be pointed out that when the rotating disc 21 rotates around the central shaft 321, each fixed pipe 22 will pass through the position of the aisle in turn, so that the operator only needs to stand in the aisle to simultaneously maintain the plants in each hanging box 24, without the need for climbing tools, which can significantly reduce the safety risk compared with the fixed planting frame in the prior art. Moreover, when the fixed pipe 22 rotates with the rotating disc 21, under the action of the self-weight, the hanging box 24 can always maintain a stable state and will not fall over, and the principle is similar to that of a Ferris wheel structure.

[0047] Moreover, when arranging the container, the central shaft 321 can be arranged along the length direction of the ship body. When encountering a transverse wave, since the hanging box 24 is rotatably arranged on the fixed pipe 22, the hanging box 24 can offset a part of the impact by swinging left and right, and the hanging box 24 is in a suspended state and can always maintain verticality, and the plants and soil inside are not easy to fall off.

[0048] In order to drive the rotating disc 21:

[0049] In one embodiment, the fixed frame 32 is provided with two groups, the fixed frame 32 is in a U-shaped structure, and the opening of the U-shaped structure is arranged towards the middle of the box body 1, that is, towards the aisle. A plurality of driving wheels 34 are arranged on the fixed frame 32, the driving wheel 34 is provided with an independent driving source inside, the plurality of driving wheels 34 simultaneously act on the outer peripheral wall of the rotating disc 21, and are used for driving the rotating disc 21 to rotate around the central shaft 321. In order to further realize the axial limiting of the rotating disc 21, a stop ring is further arranged on the driving wheel 34.

[0050] In another embodiment, an end face gear ring can also be fixed on the side wall of the rotating disc 21, and a power box 36 is arranged on the fixing frame 32 to drive the rotating disc 21 to rotate.

[0051] In order to meet the planting environment of plants in the container:

[0052] The reinforcing plate 33 is fixedly installed between the two groups of fixing frames 32, and is used to improve the strength of the structure of the fixing frame 32. The reinforcing plate 33 is arranged at a position close to the side wall of the box body 1, and the growth lamp 331 is installed on the side wall of the reinforcing plate 33 close to the central shaft 321.

[0053] The irrigation assembly 35 is arranged below the central shaft 321.

[0054] When the rotating disc 21 rotates, each hanging box 24 will be irradiated by the growth lamp 331 and irrigated by the irrigation assembly 35 in turn. Therefore, compared with the existing fixed planting frame, the arrangement difficulty of the growth lamp 331 and the irrigation assembly 35 can be reduced, and at the same time, with the continuous rotation of the rotating disc 21, the plants in each hanging box 24 can obtain more balanced growth conditions.

[0055] The specific structure of the irrigation 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 shaft 321 and is fixedly installed below the central shaft 321. The main water pipe 351 is connected with an external fresh water resource, and a plurality of groups of branch water pipes 352 corresponding to the hanging boxes 24 are arranged on both sides of the main water pipe 351. The water outlet ends of the branch water pipes 352 are arranged within the rotation track of the fixed pipe 22, so as to irrigate the hanging box 24 running to the lowermost position.

[0057] In addition, a water collecting tank 311 is arranged above the base 31 to collect the spilled fresh water and realize the recycling of water resources.

[0058] At the same time, in order to meet the ventilation conditions required by the growth of plants:

[0059] The fan 37 is installed on the fixing frame 32, and the output end of the fan 37 is communicated with the inside of each fixed pipe 22 through the flow distribution cover 371. The fan 37 is fixedly installed on the fixing frame 32, and is in rotary sealing connection between the fan 37 and the flow distribution cover 371. The rotary center of the flow distribution cover 371 coincides with the rotary center of the rotating disc 21. The flow distribution cover 371 is fixedly arranged on the rotating disc 21 and is communicated with the plurality of fixed pipes 22 respectively.

[0060] A plurality of air vents 231 are formed on the rotating cylinder 23, and a plurality of air inlets 221 are formed on the fixed tube 22 at positions corresponding to the air vents 231, so that the fan 37 can pass air to the air vents 231 through the air inlets 221 on the fixed tube 22, thereby achieving the effect of ventilating the plants.

[0061] The air vents 231 are arranged in a plurality of groups, each group having 5-8 air vents 231, and the plurality of groups of air vents 231 are arranged in a circular array around the axis of the rotating cylinder 23; the air inlets 221 are arranged in one group. The number of air inlets 221 is also set to 5-8, so that each air inlet 221 can correspond to each group of air vents 231.

[0062] In this application, the rotating cylinder 23 and the fixed tube 22 will rotate relative to each other, so the position of the air vents 231 communicating with the air inlets 221 is not fixed, and as the hanging box 24 moves to different positions, air will flow out from different air vents 231. Therefore, compared with the fixed ventilation duct arranged in the fixed planting frame in the prior art, the application can automatically adjust the direction of the air flow, avoid the air flow always acting on some hanging boxes 24, and enable the plants to obtain a more uniform ventilation environment.

[0063] The arrangement scheme of each group of air vents 231 is as follows:

[0064] In one embodiment, each group of air vents 231 is equally distributed along the axis of the rotating cylinder 23, that is, the air vents 231 in each group are arranged in a straight line. And a plurality of air inlets 221 are also equally distributed along the axis of the fixed tube 22. When the rotating cylinder 23 and the fixed tube 22 rotate relative to each other, air will be sequentially discharged from each group of air vents 231, so that the air flow is discharged along the radial direction of the rotating cylinder 23.

[0065] And in this case, the direction of the air flow above the hanging box 24 at each position is different, so that the multiple air flows interact with each other to uniformly disperse fresh air in the container.

[0066] In another embodiment, each group of air vents 231 is helically distributed around the axis of the rotating cylinder 23, that is, adjacent two air vents 231 in each group are on different columns, and the plurality of air vents 231 in the same group are distributed along the circumferential direction of the rotating cylinder 23. And a plurality of air inlets 221 are also helically distributed along the axis of the fixed tube 22, so that the air flow is discharged along the circumferential direction of the rotating cylinder 23.

[0067] These two ventilation modes can be applied to the cultivation of different varieties of plants, providing more choices.

[0068] It needs to be explained that, in order to avoid the shaking of the hanging box 24 when the staff is trimming the plants, a plug is inserted into the corresponding two open air holes 231 and air inlets 221, so that the positions of the rotating cylinder 23 and the fixed tube 22 are kept unchanged. That is, the air holes 231 and the air inlets 221 can not only play the role of ventilation, but also play the role of auxiliary positioning.

[0069] In order to achieve the effect of continuous ventilation, the inner side wall of the rotating cylinder 23 is provided with a flow channel 232 between the adjacent two groups of air holes 231, and the outer end of the air inlet 221 is provided with a sealing flange 222. When the sealing flange 222 is distributed in a staggered manner with the air holes 231, the air inlet 221 is communicated with each air hole 231 through the flow channel 232.

[0070] When the air inlet 221 is aligned with the air hole 231, the airflow is discharged through the air hole 231. When the air inlet 221 is staggered with the air hole 231, the airflow is uniformly discharged through the flow channel 232 by the plurality of air holes 231. In this way, the airflow direction can be changed while the airflow size is adjusted, so that the airflow is continuously output in waves, simulating the effect of natural wind.

[0071] In order to avoid gas leakage, the rotating cylinder 23 is fixedly connected with a sealing ring 233 at both ends, and the inner wall of the sealing ring 233 is attached to the outer wall of the fixed tube 22, so that the inside of the rotating cylinder 23 forms a closed space.

[0072] The working principle is as follows: when the plants need to be trimmed, the rotating disc 21 is driven to rotate, and the hanging box 24 that needs to be trimmed is moved to the position of the passageway along with the rotating disc 21, so that the staff can trim the plants in the hanging box 24.

[0073] Under normal circumstances, the rotating disc 21 is continuously rotated, and in the process of moving the hanging box 24, the plants in each hanging box 24 can be more uniformly illuminated, watered and ventilated, so that the plants grow more uniformly.

[0074] At the same time, based on the setting of the air inlet 221 and the air hole 231, the direction and size of the airflow can be adjusted to avoid direct blowing of the airflow, and it is also more conducive to the full contact of the external fresh air with the plants in each hanging box 24.

[0075] The above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present application within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
