Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of plant cultivation equipment technology, and in particular to a tandem circulating multilayer cultivation device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, containerized plant cultivation equipment typically uses a left-right arrangement for its multi-layered fixed cultivation racks, leaving a passageway in the middle of the container for workers to operate the equipment and for maintaining the racks. Its disadvantages include wasted space and high labor intensity for workers operating the equipment within the container. Alternatively, a three-dimensional circulating system can be installed inside the container for plant cultivation. Its advantages include high space utilization, but its disadvantages are that it cannot be repaired if it malfunctions, and the height of the cultivation racks cannot be adjusted arbitrarily according to needs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to combine the advantages of the two types of container cultivation equipment mentioned above and overcome their disadvantages to propose a new type of container plant cultivation equipment, particularly a serial circulating multi-layer cultivation equipment.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned objective, the present invention provides a tandem circulating multilayer cultivation device, comprising: A shipping container has a door at one end and ring-shaped positive and negative electrodes on the top surface inside the container, which are powered by mains electricity. A number of plant cultivation racks arranged in a circular operation are provided. Each plant cultivation rack has positive and negative sliding contacts that are electrically in contact with positive and negative electrodes at its top. Each plant cultivation rack is equipped with an LED plant growth light, which is electrically in contact with the positive and negative sliding contacts. A chain drive mechanism is arranged on the bottom surface inside the container to drive several plant cultivation racks to circulate in a circular manner; the chain drive mechanism can drive each plant cultivation rack to the door position, so that operators can carry out cultivation operations and maintain the plant cultivation racks.

[0005] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the chain drive mechanism includes a motor, a reducer, a first driving sprocket, a drive chain, a first driven sprocket, a drive sprocket, a chain, and a second driven sprocket. The motor and the reducer are mounted on the bottom surface outside the container. The first driving sprocket is mounted on the output shaft of the reducer. A first transmission shaft and a second transmission shaft are axially arranged on the bottom surface of the container. The second driven sprocket is mounted on the inner end of the second transmission shaft. The first driven sprocket and the drive sprocket are mounted on the outer and inner ends of the first transmission shaft, respectively. The drive chain is wound around the first driving sprocket and the first driven sprocket. The chain is wound around the drive sprocket and the second driven sprocket. The chain is connected to several plant cultivation racks.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a guide rail groove is provided on the bottom surface inside the container to ensure the movement of the plant cultivation rack, and the chain moves within the guide rail groove.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, each plant cultivation rack is coaxially and movably connected by a base frame and an upper frame, wherein the base frame and the upper frame can rotate horizontally relative to each other to facilitate cultivation operations and maintenance of the upper frame.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the cylindrical pin on the chain is inserted into a hole in the base of the plant cultivation rack.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, each plant cultivation rack is equipped with casters on its base for easy movement.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the upper frame of each plant cultivation rack is a multi-layer structure, and the height between each upper frame layer and the bottom upper frame layer relative to the base frame is adjustable to accommodate plant cultivation at different heights.

[0011] Thanks to the above design, planting, harvesting, and equipment maintenance are all located at the same position at the container door. This maximizes the use of the container's planting space, greatly facilitates equipment maintenance, and reduces the labor intensity of workers. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] See Figures 1 to 11 The figure shows a series-type circulating multilayer cultivation device, including a container 1, which is a rectangular, enclosed space with only one door. A door 24 is provided at one end of the container 1.

[0024] A ring-shaped positive electrode 2 and a negative electrode 3 are installed on the top surface inside container 1. The positive electrode 2 and the negative electrode 3 are powered by mains electricity.

[0025] Inside container 1, there is a base frame 4 on the bottom surface. Plant cultivation racks 5 are arranged in a circular motion on the plane of the base frame 4. On the top of each plant cultivation rack 5, there are positive sliding contacts 6 and negative sliding contacts 7 that are in electrical contact with positive electrode 2 and negative electrode 3. Each plant cultivation rack 5 is equipped with an LED plant growth light 8, which is in electrical contact with the positive sliding contacts 6 and negative sliding contacts 7.

[0026] To enable the plant cultivation racks 5 to move, a chain drive mechanism is arranged on a base frame 4 on the bottom surface of the container 1 to drive several plant cultivation racks 5 to circulate in an orderly manner. This chain drive mechanism can drive each plant cultivation rack 5 to the door 24 position, allowing operators to perform cultivation operations and maintenance on the plant cultivation racks.
