Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of strawberry cultivation technology, and in particular to a multifunctional tiered strawberry cultivation rack. Background Technology
[0002] Strawberries, as a short-season fresh fruit with high economic benefits, have seen a continuous expansion in the scale of their cultivation in my country's facility agriculture in recent years. Traditional strawberry cultivation mainly uses a raised-ridge planting method. While this method is technically mature, it has revealed several limitations in actual production: on the one hand, workers need to bend over or squat for long periods to perform tasks such as planting, thinning flowers and fruits, and harvesting, resulting in high labor intensity and a high risk of occupational health problems such as lumbar muscle strain; on the other hand, in a ground-planted environment, the fruit is easily in contact with the soil surface, causing fruit contamination and poor bottom coloring, affecting commercial quality. To solve these problems, trellis cultivation technology has emerged. Trellise cultivation raises the strawberry plants to a certain height off the ground, allowing workers to stand and significantly reducing labor intensity; at the same time, the fruit hanging in the air avoids direct contact with the soil, improving fruit cleanliness and marketability.
[0003] Chinese patent CN113508703B discloses an automatic irrigation strawberry planting rack. It includes a water inlet tank, planting rack units, an overflow tank, and a water storage base, vertically connected from top to bottom. The water storage base has a circulation pipe and a water replenishment pipe. The circulation pipe is connected to a circulation pump, and the water replenishment pipe is connected to a water replenishment solenoid valve. There are multiple planting rack units, each including a water inlet column, a planting tray, a water outlet column, and an adjustable base soil support plate. The planting tray has a plastic film storage device. The overflow tank and the water storage base are rotatably connected. The water storage base and the water inlet tank are connected by the circulation pipe. This invention uses water overflowing from the upper planting rack unit to automatically irrigate the lower planting rack unit, ensuring continuous water circulation throughout the entire planting rack, and at a low cost. The compact design allows each layer of the planting rack to be individually covered with plastic film. The power generated by the water flow causes the planting rack to rotate automatically, resulting in more uniform sunlight exposure for the strawberries. In contrast, this solution uses a fixed, layered planting rack, where the upper layer blocks light from the lower layer, hindering the strawberries from receiving even and sufficient sunlight. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides: a multi-functional tiered strawberry planting rack, comprising: A reinforced base is provided, wherein a first drive motor is fixedly connected to the top of the reinforced base at the center position, and a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the first drive motor. A support rod is rotatably connected to the end of the rotating shaft away from the first drive motor through a rolling bearing. A limiting sleeve is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft and fixedly connected to the rotating shaft; A planting device, one side of which is fixedly connected to the outer side of a limiting sleeve; The end of the support rod away from the rotation axis is fixedly connected to the top of the reinforced base. Multiple sets of the limiting sleeve are provided, and the multiple sets of the limiting sleeve are evenly distributed on the outside of the rotation axis. Multiple sets of the planting device are provided, and the multiple sets of the planting device are evenly distributed on the outside of the limiting sleeve. The planting device includes: The planting frame has an electric slide rail at its bottom, a positioning base plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric slide rail, a reinforcing plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning base plate, and a drainage pipe connected to the bottom of the planting frame. As the planting frame rotates, it passes through the sunniest areas in sequence, ensuring that all strawberry plants receive relatively even and sufficient sunlight. The planting frame can be unfolded horizontally to maximize the area receiving light, and can be folded up close to the rotation axis when stored to reduce space occupation and facilitate greenhouse insulation or film covering. An inclined plate with ventilation holes on its outer side is installed inside the planting frame to allow plants closer to the rotation axis to be higher than plants on one side, thus ensuring uniform light exposure. A watering device, the outer side of which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the planting frame via a bracket.
[0005] Preferably, the electric slider inside the electric slide rail is fixedly connected to the bottom of the planting frame, and one side of the reinforcing plate is fixedly connected to the outer side of the limiting sleeve.
[0006] Preferably, multiple sets of ventilation holes are provided, and the multiple sets of ventilation holes are evenly distributed on both sides of the inclined plate, and the side of the inclined plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the planting frame.
[0007] Preferably, the planting device further includes a reflective device, the outer side of which is fixedly connected to the outer side of the positioning base plate via a bracket.
[0008] Preferably, the watering device includes a water storage tank, with a water supply pipe connected to the top of the tank, an extension pipe connected to one side of the tank, and a drain sleeve connected to the end of the extension pipe away from the tank. First drain holes are evenly distributed on the outer side of the drain sleeve. A sliding sleeve is slidably connected to the inner wall of the drain sleeve, and a second drain hole is distributed on the outer side of the sliding sleeve. A return spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding sleeve, and a support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the return spring. Water flows out from the holes under gravity and falls onto the higher position of the inclined plate. The water flows slowly downwards along the inclined surface, wetting the planting substrate on the inner, middle, and outer sides in sequence. As the sliding sleeve slides down, it squeezes the return spring, causing the originally overlapping first and second drainage holes to gradually separate. The overlapping area of the first and second drainage holes becomes smaller, reducing the amount of water discharged from this overlapping area. When there is less water inside the water tank, the return spring pushes the sliding sleeve upwards, making the overlapping area of the first and second drainage holes larger, thus allowing more water to be discharged. This avoids the problem of water draining too quickly when the water tank is full and too slowly when it is empty.
[0009] Preferably, the extension tube passes through the planting frame and is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the planting frame. Multiple sets of extension tubes are provided, and the multiple sets of extension tubes are evenly distributed on one side of the water storage tank. The outer side of the water storage tank is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the planting frame through a bracket.
[0010] Preferably, the second drainage hole has multiple sets and corresponds one-to-one with the first drainage hole, one side of the support plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the planting frame, and the water storage tank is filled with water.
[0011] Preferably, the reflective device includes a rotating column, one end of which is fixedly connected to the output end of a second drive motor. A flip plate is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating column via a bracket. A reflective film is fixedly connected to the bottom of the flip plate. The end of the rotating column away from the second drive motor is rotatably connected to a suspension plate via a bearing. The output end of the second drive motor drives the rotating column to rotate, and the rotating column drives the flip plate to deflect via the bracket. The reflection angle of the flip plate can be flexibly adjusted so that the reflected sunlight shines on the plants in the planting frame below, adapting to different solar altitude angles and avoiding the continuous focusing of sunlight at a specific angle to form a strip of high temperature, which could scorch the leaves or fruits.
[0012] Preferably, the outer side of the second drive motor is fixedly connected to the outer side of the positioning base plate via a bracket, and the top of the suspension plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the reinforcing plate.
[0013] This invention provides a multifunctional tiered strawberry planting rack. It has the following beneficial effects: 1. This multi-functional tiered strawberry planting rack, through the installation of the planting device, allows the planting frame to pass through the sunniest areas in sequence during rotation, ensuring that all strawberries receive relatively balanced and sufficient sunlight. Furthermore, the planting frame can be unfolded horizontally to maximize the area receiving sunlight, and can be folded up close to the rotation axis when stored to reduce space occupation and facilitate greenhouse insulation or mulching.
[0014] 2. This multi-functional tiered strawberry planting rack, through the setting of the inclined plate, allows water to flow out from the holes under the action of gravity and fall onto the high end of the inclined plate, and then slowly flow down along the inclined surface, successively wetting the planting substrate on the inner, middle and outer sides. The inclined plate is set inside the planting frame so that the plants closer to the rotation axis are higher than the plants on one side, so that they can receive light evenly.
[0015] 3. This multi-functional tiered strawberry planting rack, through the installation of the watering device, causes the sliding sleeve to press the return spring as it slides down, gradually separating the originally overlapping first and second drainage holes. The overlapping area of the first and second drainage holes becomes smaller, reducing the amount of water discharged from this overlapping area. When the water tank is low, the return spring pushes the sliding sleeve to slide up, making the overlapping area of the first and second drainage holes larger, thus discharging more water and avoiding the problem of water draining too quickly when the water tank is full and too slowly when it is empty.
[0016] 4. This multi-functional tiered strawberry planting rack, through the installation of a reflective device, drives the rotating column to rotate via the output of the second drive motor. The rotating column, through the bracket, drives the flip plate to deflect, which can flexibly adjust the reflection angle of the flip plate, so that the reflected sunlight shines on the plants in the planting frame below, adapting to different solar altitude angles and avoiding the continuous focusing of sunlight at a specific angle to form a strip of high temperature, which could scorch the leaves or fruits.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0020] For the first embodiment, please refer to... Figures 1-7 This invention provides a technical solution: a multi-functional tiered strawberry planting rack, comprising: A reinforced base 1 is fixedly connected to a first drive motor 2 at the center of the top of the reinforced base 1. A rotating shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first drive motor 2. A support rod 4 is rotatably connected to the end of the rotating shaft 3 away from the first drive motor 2 through a rolling bearing. The limiting sleeve 5 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 3 and fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 3. Planting device 6, one side of which is fixedly connected to the outside of limiting sleeve 5; The end of the support rod 4 away from the rotating shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the reinforced base 1. Multiple sets of limiting sleeves 5 are provided, and multiple sets of limiting sleeves 5 are evenly distributed on the outside of the rotating shaft 3. Multiple sets of planting devices 6 are provided, and multiple sets of planting devices 6 are evenly distributed on the outside of the limiting sleeves 5. The planting device 6 includes: The planting frame 61 has an electric slide rail 62 at its bottom, a positioning base plate 63 fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric slide rail 62, a reinforcing plate 64 fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning base plate 63, and a drainage pipe connected to the bottom of the planting frame 61. An inclined plate 65 has ventilation holes 66 on its outer side. The watering device 67 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the planting frame 61 via a bracket.
[0021] The electric slider inside the electric slide rail 62 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the planting frame 61, and one side of the reinforcing plate 64 is fixedly connected to the outside of the limiting sleeve 5.
[0022] Multiple sets of ventilation holes 66 are provided, and the multiple sets of ventilation holes 66 are evenly distributed on both sides of the inclined plate 65. The side of the inclined plate 65 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the planting frame 61.
[0023] The planting device 6 also includes a reflector 68, the outer side of which is fixedly connected to the outer side of the positioning base plate 63 via a bracket.
[0024] The watering device 67 includes a water storage tank 671, a water supply pipe 672 connected to the top of the water storage tank 671, an extension pipe 673 connected to one side of the water storage tank 671, a drain sleeve 674 connected to the end of the extension pipe 673 away from the water storage tank 671, a first drain hole 675 evenly opened on the outer side of the drain sleeve 674, a sliding sleeve 676 slidably connected to the inner wall of the drain sleeve 674, a second drain hole 677 opened on the outer side of the sliding sleeve 676, a return spring 678 fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding sleeve 676, and a support plate 679 fixedly connected to the bottom of the return spring 678.
[0025] The extension tube 673 passes through the planting frame 61 and is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the planting frame 61. Multiple sets of extension tubes 673 are provided, and the multiple sets of extension tubes 673 are evenly distributed on one side of the water storage tank 671. The outer side of the water storage tank 671 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the planting frame 61 through a bracket.
[0026] Multiple sets of second drainage holes 677 are provided and correspond one-to-one with the first drainage holes 675. One side of the support plate 679 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the planting frame 61. The water storage tank 671 is filled with water.
[0027] In use, the soil is transplanted into the planting frame 61 and strawberry plants are planted inside the soil. The electric slide rail 62 is turned on, and the electric slide rail 62 moves the planting frame 61 through the internal electric slider, so that each group of planting frames 61 unfolds horizontally. Then, the first drive motor 2 is turned on, and the output end of the first drive motor 2 drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate. The rotating shaft 3 drives the limiting sleeve 5 to rotate. The rotating limiting sleeve 5 drives the positioning base plate 63 to move through the reinforcing plate 64. The positioning base plate 63 drives the planting frame 61 to rotate through the electric slide rail 62 and its internal electric slider. During the rotation, the planting frame 61 passes through the sunniest area in turn, so that the strawberries in all areas can receive relatively balanced and sufficient sunlight. The planting frame 61 can be unfolded horizontally to maximize the light-receiving area. When storing, it can be folded up close to the rotating shaft 3 to reduce space occupation and facilitate greenhouse insulation or film covering.
[0028] Water inside the water tank 671 flows into the drainage sleeve 674 from the extension pipe 673 under the action of gravity, and is discharged through the second drainage hole 677 and the first drainage hole 675. The water flowing out of the hole falls on the high end of the inclined plate 65, and then slowly flows down along the inclined surface, sequentially wetting the planting substrate on the inner, middle and outer sides. The inclined plate 65 is set inside the planting frame 61 so that the plants near the rotation axis 3 are higher than the plants on one side, so that they can receive light evenly.
[0029] When there is a lot of water inside the water tank 671, the water pressure pushes the sliding sleeve 676 down the inner wall of the drain sleeve 674. When the sliding sleeve 676 slides down, it squeezes the return spring 678, causing the originally overlapping first drain hole 675 and second drain hole 677 to gradually separate. The overlapping area of the first drain hole 675 and second drain hole 677 becomes smaller, and the amount of water discharged from the overlapping area decreases. When there is less water inside the water tank 671, the return spring 678 pushes the sliding sleeve 676 up, making the overlapping area of the first drain hole 675 and second drain hole 677 larger, so that more water can be discharged, avoiding the problem of water draining too quickly when the water tank 671 is full and too slowly when it is empty.
[0030] For the second embodiment, please refer to... Figures 1-8 The present invention provides a technical solution: Based on the first embodiment, the reflective device 68 includes a rotating column 681, one end of which is fixedly connected to the output end of the second drive motor 682, the outer side of the rotating column 681 is fixedly connected to a flip plate 683 through a bracket, the bottom of the flip plate 683 is fixedly connected to a reflective film, and the end of the rotating column 681 away from the second drive motor 682 is rotatably connected to a suspension plate 684 through a bearing.
[0031] The outer side of the second drive motor 682 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the positioning base plate 63 via a bracket, and the top of the suspension plate 684 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the reinforcing plate 64.
[0032] When in use, turn on the second drive motor 682. The output of the second drive motor 682 drives the rotating column 681 to rotate. The rotating column 681 drives the flip plate 683 to deflect through the bracket. The reflection angle of the flip plate 683 can be flexibly adjusted so that the reflected sunlight shines on the plants in the planting frame 61 below. This adapts to different solar altitude angles and avoids continuously focusing sunlight at a specific angle to form a strip of high temperature, which could scorch the leaves or fruits.
[0033] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. The scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
