Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of three-dimensional planting towers, in particular to a water storage structure of a three-dimensional planting tower and a planting tower. Background Technique

[0002] A planting tower is a structure for plant cultivation. It uses soilless cultivation technology and provides nutrients and water required for plant growth through hydroponics or nutrient solution cultivation. The design of the planting tower is diverse and can be adjusted according to different needs and spaces. For example, some planting towers are designed with a multi-layer structure, and each layer has planting holes for planting multiple plants. This structure not only saves space but also efficiently utilizes vertical space for plant cultivation. In addition, a water tank is usually provided at the bottom of the planting tower. The nutrient solution is pumped to the top of the tower by a water pump and then flows back to the bottom by gravity, forming a circulation system for irrigating plants. This design makes the planting tower very suitable for use in urban environments such as rooftop farms or indoor planting spaces, providing fresh vegetables and fruits for urban residents. The use of the planting tower not only improves the growth efficiency of plants but also provides a new lifestyle and food source for urban residents. Through soilless cultivation technology, the planting tower can reduce the dependence on soil and provide an environmentally friendly and efficient planting method.

[0003] In the prior art, a Chinese patent with the publication number CN218851550U was proposed to solve the above-mentioned existing technical problems.

[0032] The following further describes the present utility model in detail with reference to the embodiments:

[0033] Embodiment 1

[0034] As Figures 1-6 shown, the present utility model provides a planting tower, including a three - dimensional planting tower water storage structure, a planting tower body 1, a planting bin 2, a base 6, and an external connection frame 7.

[0035] The three - dimensional planting tower water storage structure includes a top shell 3, a rotating assembly 4, and a spraying assembly 5.

[0036] The rotating assembly 4 is arranged inside the top shell 3; the rotating assembly 4 includes a driving motor 401, a gear one 402, a gear two 403, a tooth ring 404, and a connector 405; the output end of the driving motor 401 is fixedly installed with a gear one 402, the gear one 402 meshes with the gear two 403, the gear two 403 is rotatably connected inside the top shell 3, the gear two 403 meshes with the tooth ring 404, and one end of the gear one 402 is fixedly installed with a connector 405; the spraying assembly 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the connector 405.

[0037] In this embodiment, the rotating assembly 4 is arranged inside the top shell 3. The top shell 3 has a certain thickness and is installed at the top of the planting tower body 1. During use, the externally installed driving motor 401 can be started. The operation of the driving motor 401 can drive the first gear 402 fixedly connected to one end to rotate. When the first gear 402 rotates, since the first gear 402 meshes with the second gear 403, at this time, the second gear 403 can also rotate. The second gear 403 meshes with the toothed ring 404. When the second gear 403 rotates, it can push the toothed ring 404 to rotate. The second gear 403 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top shell 3 through a movable shaft. The first gear 402 is smaller and the second gear 403 is larger. When the first gear 402 rotates one week, it can only push the second gear 403 to rotate half a shaft. At this time, the rotation speed of the toothed ring 404 is slower. Therefore, when the connector 405 is fixedly connected to the spraying assembly 5, it can be driven by the first gear 402 to rotate, and the nutrient solution can be rotated and sprayed onto the plants through the spraying assembly 5, making the spraying of the nutrient solution more uniform. Moreover, when the toothed ring 404 is driven to rotate, it can cause the planting tower body 1 to rotate, enabling each plant to be exposed to sunlight, thereby improving the growth effect of the plants.

[0038] As Figures 1-6 shown, in this embodiment, preferably, a rotating groove 301 for rotatably connecting the toothed ring 404 is provided inside the top shell 3. The rotating groove 301 is provided inside the top shell 3, and the outer surface of the toothed ring 404 can just be embedded and installed in the rotating groove 301. When the toothed ring 404 is rotated and pushed by the second gear 403, the toothed ring 404 can rotate inside the rotating groove 301. The sliding ring installed on the outer surface of the toothed ring 404 can match the inside of the rotating groove 301. The toothed ring 404 is fixedly connected to the top of the planting tower body 1, so that the toothed ring 404 can drive the planting tower body 1 to rotate during the rotation process, thereby achieving the effect of rotating and displaying the plants on the planting tower body 1.

[0039] As Figures 1-6As shown, preferably, the spraying assembly 5 includes a first connecting pipe 501, a rotary joint 502, a second connecting pipe 503, a nozzle 504, and a water pump; one end of the first connecting pipe 501 is connected to the water pump, and the other end is rotatably connected to the rotary joint 502. The other end of the rotary joint 502 is rotatably connected to the second connecting pipe 503. A plurality of nozzles 504 are provided on the surface of the second connecting pipe 503, and the other end of the second connecting pipe 503 is fixedly connected to the connector 405. One end of the water pump is connected to the first connecting pipe 501. When the water pump is started, the nutrient solution can be pumped out and conveyed through the first connecting pipe 501. One end of the first connecting pipe 501 is connected to the rotary joint 502, and the other end of the rotary joint 502 is connected to the second connecting pipe 503. The second connecting pipe 503 can achieve sealing and rotation through the sealing ring inside the rotary joint 502. Therefore, the nutrient solution is conveyed upward through the first connecting pipe 501 into the second connecting pipe 503. At this time, when the rotating assembly 4 operates, it can drive the second connecting pipe 503 to rotate. During the rotation of the second connecting pipe 503, the nutrient solution can be sprayed out through a plurality of nozzles 504, so as to achieve efficient and uniform spraying and can spray the plants evenly.

[0040] As Figures 1-6 shown, preferably, it further includes a plurality of planting bins 2, which are respectively arranged on the surface of the planting tower body 1; a placing groove 201 is respectively formed inside each planting bin 2. Each planting bin 2 is evenly distributed on the surface of the planting tower body 1, so that there is space between the plants for their growth. The formed placing groove 201 can enable the planting pots of the plants to be respectively placed in the placing groove 201. A plurality of limiting blocks are arranged inside each placing groove 201, so that each planting pot can be positioned and placed in a plurality of placing grooves 201, thus facilitating the growth of the plants.

[0041] As Figures 1-6As shown, preferably, it further includes a base 6, which is installed at the bottom of the planting tower body 1; a water inlet 601 is provided on the surface of the base 6, and a rotating connection groove 602 for rotatably connecting with the planting tower body 1 is provided inside the base 6. The base 6 supports the entire planting tower body 1 at the bottom. A water storage bin is provided inside the base 6, which can store the nutrient solution inside the base 6. A water inlet 601 is provided on the surface of the base 6, and the nutrient solution and water can be added into the base 6 by opening the sealing plug on the water inlet 601. A rotating connection groove 602 is provided above the inner wall of the base 6, and the internal space of the rotating connection groove 602 is for facilitating the embedded installation of the bottom end of the planting tower body 1. A shaft ring is provided at the bottom end of the planting tower body 1, so that the bottom end of the planting tower body 1 is arranged inside the rotating connection groove 602 through the shaft ring. At this time, the inside of the installed planting tower body 1 communicates with the inside of the base 6, and the planting tower body 1 can rotate under the action of the shaft ring, so that the base 6 supports the planting tower body 1 during the rotation of the planting tower body 1. The planting tower body 1 can perform a rotating display of the plants during the rotation, or each plant during the rotation process can be exposed to sunlight, which is convenient for promoting the rapid growth of the plants, thereby improving the planting efficiency.

[0042] As Figures 1-6 shown, preferably, it further includes an external connection frame 7, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the base 6. The external connection frame 7 is fixedly connected to the base 6 through the top shell 3. The overall shape of the external connection frame 7 is cylindrical and sleeved on the planting tower body 1, and the external connection frame 7 is supported and connected by four connecting rods, having a certain stability. When the plants are growing, they will attract insects, causing some insects to gnaw on the plants, or there will be mosquitoes staying on the surface of the base 6, resulting in a large number of mosquitoes breeding and affecting the planting environment. The insect-proof net cover can be fixed on the external connection frame 7. At this time, the protective net cover can protect the plants and block the mosquitoes, which can improve the growth efficiency of the plants.

[0043] Next, specifically describe the water storage structure of the three-dimensional planting tower and the working principle of the planting tower.

[0044] As Figures 1-6As shown in the figure, during use, the planting tower can be carried to a place with better sunlight. Each planting pot is placed in each placement groove 201 respectively, and the planting pot is positioned and placed by the limit blocks in the placement groove 201. Nutrient solution is stored and used in the interior of the base 6. Since some plants cannot be irradiated by the sun during the growth process, the driving motor 401 can be started. The operation of the driving motor 401 can drive the first gear 402 to rotate. When the first gear 402 rotates, the second gear 403 meshing with it rotates accordingly, and the toothed ring 404 meshing with the second gear 403 rotates in the rotating groove 301. Since the top of the outer shell of the planting tower body 1 is fixedly connected to the toothed ring 404, multiple plants on the planting tower body 1 can be rotated, so as to rotate and display the plants, enabling each plant to evenly contact the sunlight, which is convenient for the growth of the plants. When it is necessary to spray nutrient solution on the plants, the operation of the driving motor 401 will cause the spraying assembly 5 connected to the connector 405 to rotate. By starting the water pump, the water pump can pump out the nutrient solution in the base 6 and spray it out through multiple nozzles 504. At this time, the nozzle 504 can rotate under the action of the rotary joint 502, so that the nutrient solution is sprayed evenly on the plants in a rotating manner. The rotation of the planting tower body will cause multiple nozzles 504 to spray corresponding to each planting pot in real time, so as to spray the nutrient solution evenly on each plant, making the utilization rate of the nutrient solution higher.

[0045] The above generally describes the present invention in detail. However, based on the present invention, some modifications or improvements can be made, which are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the technical field. Therefore, modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
