Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a semi-automatic three-dimensional planting device, belonging to the field of three-dimensional planting technology. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the main new agricultural planting technologies include soilless planting, vertical farming, and greenhouse planting. With the development of agricultural factories, the combination of greenhouse technology and vertical farming is becoming increasingly common. Vertical farming can make full use of vertical space, reduce land occupation, improve resource utilization, and facilitate intensive management. It can achieve high yield, high efficiency, energy saving, and environmental protection, therefore, the application of vertical farming models is becoming more and more widespread.

[0003] Currently, the vertical planting model has certain limitations in terms of height, width, and length. This vertical planting method has many drawbacks: the equipment cost per unit of effective planting area is too high, the structure is too thin, the machine body is prone to bending and deformation when the length and width exceed a certain limit, and the land utilization rate is not efficient enough.

[0004] In order to meet the development needs of agricultural factories and achieve the requirements of improving production efficiency and reducing equipment costs, this application proposes a semi-automatic three-dimensional planting equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned deficiencies in existing technologies, this invention provides a three-dimensional planting device that features a simple structure, high space utilization, eliminates the need for workers to climb to heights, and improves production efficiency while reducing labor and equipment costs.

[0006] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a semi-automatic three-dimensional planting device, characterized in that it includes a planting support, a transmission assembly, a planting trough tray assembly, a sprinkler assembly, and a control cabinet. The planting support includes two side frames on each side. A circular gear is fixedly installed on the inner side of the upper part of each of the four side frames. Each pair of side frames shares a fixed upper crossbeam and a lower crossbeam that can move up and down. Four circular gears are fixedly installed on the inner side of the upper and lower crossbeams of the planting support. A chain mechanism is installed on the planting support corresponding to every five circular gears. The chain wraps around the top of each group of five circular gears to form four closed-loop chains. The sprocket... The chain mechanism has a rotatable boom between corresponding chains on the transmission chain of every two sets of sprockets. The boom connects to the planting trough tray. The suspended planting trough tray assembly includes a support base for placing the planting trough. The two ends of the support base are connected to and suspended on the transmission chain by the boom. An adjusting screw is provided between the lower crossbeam and the base. The height of the lower crossbeam can be adjusted by the adjusting screw. A sprocket mechanism and a sprocket drive are respectively provided in the middle of the upper crossbeams on both sides. A drive shaft is provided between the sprocket mechanism and the driven steering sprocket on the other side. The sprocket mechanism and the driven steering sprocket are respectively connected by chains to the circular gears at the top of the side supports on both sides to provide power.

[0007] In this invention, multiple suspended planting trough tray assemblies can be connected between every two transmission chains at appropriate intervals according to planting needs, forming a multi-layer planting layer. When in use, planting dishes for planting crops are placed on the planting trough tray assemblies. Driven by the drive mechanism, the sprocket and chain mechanism actuates, and during the lifting and lowering process of the transmission chain, the planting trough tray and the planting dishes on top of it are lifted and lowered together with the transmission chain via the boom. Because the boom and chain are rotatable, the planting trough tray remains below the boom throughout the lifting and lowering process, ensuring that the planting dishes and crops on top of the planting trough tray can be lifted and lowered smoothly.

[0008] Furthermore, to ensure the structural strength and operational reliability of the planting support, the planting support is made of welded steel profiles.

[0009] Furthermore, to ensure the reliability of the equipment, the supporting chassis is divided into upper and lower layers, and the upper and lower layers of the supporting chassis are welded together in a W-shape or M-shape to form a truss structure, which greatly enhances the load-bearing capacity of the chassis.

[0010] Furthermore, each set of the sprocket and chain mechanism includes a drive sprocket mounted on the drive sprocket shaft. The drive sprocket shaft is rotatably mounted between the two uprights. The drive sprocket of each set of the sprocket and chain mechanism is mounted in the middle of the corresponding upper crossbeam. The transmission chain passes around the top of the circular gear and forms a closed loop with the drive sprocket. The drive mechanism is connected to the drive sprocket shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, each set of the sprocket and chain mechanism includes a driving sprocket and a driven steering sprocket mounted on the driving sprocket shaft. The driving sprocket and the driven steering sprocket are both mounted in the middle of the corresponding upper crossbeam. The transmission chain passes around the top of the uppermost circular gear and forms a closed loop with the driving sprocket and the driven steering sprocket. The driving sprocket shaft is rotatably mounted between the two side uprights, and the drive mechanism is connected to the driving sprocket shaft.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the lower crossbeams is provided with an adjusting screw between itself and the base; rotating the adjusting screw can control the height of the lower crossbeam.

[0013] Furthermore, a water pipe is installed between the lower crossbeams on both sides, and atomizing nozzles are installed on the water pipe at intervals.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The invention has a simple structure. Multiple hanging tray assemblies can be connected between the two transmission chains at appropriate intervals according to planting needs, forming multi-layer planting layers. Planting trough trays are connected to both sides of the transmission chains, making full use of space. The structure of this invention uses a polygonal (triangle on top, rectangle on the bottom) operating track, which effectively avoids collisions between planting trough trays. Furthermore, this invention can achieve up to one layer within a limited space, effectively improving space utilization. Workers do not need to climb to work; the sprocket and chain transmission mechanism can raise and lower the planting trough to the worker's working level for operation. Operation is simple, effectively improving work efficiency, reducing labor costs, and ensuring worker safety. This invention is highly adaptable and can be installed indoors and outdoors, and used in spaces of varying sizes. The planting trough tray of this invention adopts a truss structure, greatly enhancing the tray's load-bearing capacity and significantly extending the tray's length and width, further reducing equipment costs per unit effective planting area. This invention uses automatic sprinkler irrigation technology, providing 360-degree irrigation without blind spots. The invention uses the lower crossbeam to adjust the height to control chain tension, resulting in more stable transmission efficiency. Attached Figure Description
