[0004] However, the existing hydroponic plant rack splicing structure has poor stability and low overall structural strength. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a hydroponic plant shelf and a containerized plant factory to solve the problems of poor stability of the splicing structure and low overall structural strength of existing hydroponic plant shelves.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a hydroponic plant shelf, comprising:

[0007] Multiple spaced support components are used to support the planting board water tank;

[0012] Two snap-fit ​​pieces are fixed to both ends of the fixing piece, and the two snap-fit ​​pieces and the fixing piece enclose a snap-fit ​​space, in which the support column fits.

[0013] One end of the first arm and one end of the second arm are both fixedly connected to the side of the fixing member facing away from the snap-fit ​​space, and the first arm and the second arm are both set perpendicular to the fixing member.

[0014] In one feasible implementation, the distance between the two snap-fit ​​pieces is equal to the width of the support column.

[0015] In one feasible implementation, there are multiple support arms, which are spaced apart along the length of the support column.

[0016] In one feasible implementation, the fastener is provided with multiple first mounting holes;

[0017] The support column is provided with multiple second mounting holes. The first mounting hole is used to align with the second mounting hole at the corresponding position to facilitate the fixing of the fastener.

[0044] With land scarcity and some harsh environments unsuitable for planting, container farming is being used for enclosed cultivation. The container is in a closed environment, with an independent supply of nutrients, water, light, and suitable carbon dioxide to the plants, isolating them from the adverse effects of the outdoor environment and facilitating control and management.

[0045] In related technologies, the container is equipped with a shelf for placing hydroponic plants in a planting trough. The planting board is placed in the planting trough, and the hydroponic plants are planted in the planting board.

[0046] However, the existing hydroponic plant rack splicing structure has poor stability and low overall structural strength.

[0047] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a hydroponic plant shelf and a containerized plant factory. The solutions provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a hydroponic plant shelf provided in one embodiment of this application; Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A partial schematic diagram of the hydroponic plant shelf in the image; Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the support component 100 of the hydroponic plant shelf.

[0049] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a hydroponic plant shelf for placing a planting plate trough 200 for hydroponic plants. The planting plate trough 200 contains plant nutrient solution, and a planting plate is placed on top of the planting plate trough 200. The planting plate is used to cultivate plants, and the plant roots can extend into the planting plate trough 200. Specifically, the hydroponic plant shelf includes multiple support components 100, which are vertically arranged and spaced apart. The distance between two adjacent support components 100 is less than the length of the planting plate trough 200, and the planting plate trough 200 is placed on adjacent support components 100.

[0050] For example, the support assembly 100 includes a support column 110 and a support arm 120 having a first arm 121 and a second arm 122. The support column 110 is vertically arranged and can be vertically fixed to the ground or inside a container, such as inside a shipping container 400. The support column 110 can be a metal profile, and its size and specific material can be selected according to actual needs. For example, the support column 110 can use standard cold-formed profiles for logistics racking, which are lightweight, low-cost, and easy to install, and can meet the design requirements for different numbers of layers and layer heights.

[0051] One end of the first arm 121 of the support arm 120 is connected to the support column 110, and one end of the second arm 122 is also connected to the support column 110. Both the first arm 121 and the second arm 122 are perpendicular to the support column 110. Simultaneously, the first arm 121 and the second arm 122 are arranged perpendicularly to each other, and the upper surface of the second arm 122 contacts the lower surface of the first arm 121. The cross-sections of the first arm 121 and the second arm 122 are T-shaped. The second arm 122 supports the first arm 121, increasing its support strength and ensuring the hydroponic plant shelf has high strength and stability. To further improve support strength and stability, the first arm 121 and the second arm 122 are integrated; for example, the first arm 121 and the second arm 122 can be welded into a single unit.

[0052] The upper surface of the first arm 121 is configured as a support surface for supporting the planting plate water tank 200. For example, the first arm 121 is configured as a support plate, with its upper surface being a large-area support plane capable of supporting the planting plate water tank 200. Similarly, the second arm 122 can also be configured as a support plate, perpendicular to the first arm 121, thereby ensuring that both the first arm 121 and the second arm 122 can withstand greater weight.

[0053] In addition, the first arm 121 and the second arm 122 are an open structure, which is conducive to the surface anti-corrosion treatment of the two, such as sandblasting, powder coating and other surface treatments. At the same time, this open structure is conducive to pipeline installation and layout.

[0054] Continue to refer to Figure 3 As shown, in some examples, the support arm 120 further includes a fixing seat 123 for fixing the first arm 121 and the second arm 122 onto the support column 110. Exemplarily, the fixing seat 123 includes a fixing member 1231 and two snap-fit ​​members 1232; the two snap-fit ​​members 1232 are respectively fixed to both ends of the fixing member 1231, and both snap-fit ​​members 1232 are perpendicular to the fixing member 1231. The two snap-fit ​​members 1232 and the fixing member 1231 enclose a snap-fit ​​space, in which the support column 110 fits, and then the fixing seat 123 is fixed to the support column 110 using a locking member. Additionally, one end of the first arm 121 and one end of the second arm 122 are both fixedly connected to the side of the fixing member 1231 facing away from the snap-fit ​​space, and both the first arm 121 and the second arm 122 are perpendicular to the fixing member 1231.

[0055] Understandably, since the first arm 121 and the second arm 122 are vertically fixed to the fixed base 123, and the fixed base 123 has a fixed-size snap-fit ​​space, it is convenient to fix the first arm 121 and the second arm 122 to the support column 110 while ensuring that they are perpendicular to each other, resulting in high assembly efficiency. Furthermore, due to the limiting effect of the snap-fit ​​component 1232 and the fixing component 1231, the first arm 121 and the second arm 122 can be stably connected to the support column 110, preventing them from swaying horizontally and improving the overall stability of the hydroponic plant shelf.

[0056] For example, the locking element may be a bolt assembly. The ends of the first arm 121 and the second arm 122 may be fixed to the fixing element 1231 by bolt fastening or welding.

[0057] Furthermore, the distance between the two snap-fit ​​pieces 1232 can be equal to the width of the support column 110, thereby matching the snap-fit ​​space with the size of the support column 110, facilitating the positioning and installation of the fixing base 123 on the support column 110. For example, both the fixing piece 1231 and the snap-fit ​​piece 1232 can be made of plate-shaped steel.

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, in some examples, there are multiple support arms 120, which are spaced apart along the length of the support column 110. Each support arm 120 can be placed with a corresponding planting board trough 200, so that the entire hydroponic plant shelf can be placed with multiple planting board troughs 200, thereby making full use of the planting space.

[0059] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in some examples, the fastener 1231 has multiple first mounting holes 123a; the support column 110 has multiple second mounting holes 111. The first mounting holes 123a are used to align with the corresponding second mounting holes 111 to facilitate fixing the fastener 1231. For example, along the length of the support column 110, two rows of second mounting holes 111 are provided, each row including multiple second mounting holes 111 spaced at the same interval. Simultaneously, the fastener 1231 has multiple first mounting holes 123a spaced at the same interval as adjacent second mounting holes 111. When it is necessary to fix the fixing seat 123 to the support column 110, a suitable position can be selected, the first mounting holes 123a and the corresponding second mounting holes 111 can be aligned, and then fastened using fasteners. This completes the fixed connection between the fixing seat 123 and the support column 110, resulting in accurate and fast connection with high assembly efficiency.

[0060] Continue to refer to Figure 3As shown, a limiting member 124 is provided at the end of the first support arm 121 away from the supporting column 110, and / or, a limiting member 124 is provided at the end of the second support arm 122 away from the supporting column 110. The limiting member 124 protrudes from the upper surface of the first support arm 121 and can block the planting plate water tank 200 located on the first support arm 121, preventing the planting plate water tank 200 from slipping off the first support arm 121. For example, the limiting member 124 can be a limiting baffle or a limiting block.

[0061] Continue to refer to Figure 3 As shown, the second arm 122 is provided with multiple through holes 1221, through which wires and lamps can be threaded to provide light to the plants on the given planting board.

[0062] In some examples, the hydroponic plant rack also includes multiple connecting beams. All connecting beams are horizontally arranged, and each connecting beam is connected to two adjacent support components 100, thereby connecting all support components 100 into a complete unit and increasing the stability of the structure. Exemplarily, the connecting beams can be profiles or connecting angle steel.

[0063] Continue to refer to Figure 3 As shown, the hydroponic plant rack also includes mounting members 300. There are at least two mounting members 300, spaced apart on the support column 110. Specifically, one side of the mounting member 300 is fixedly connected to the support column 110, and the other side is connected to the container body 400; that is, the mounting member 300 is used to connect the support column 110 to the container body 400. Additionally, the mounting members 300 can be used to adjust the pitch angle of the support arm 120. For example, when the support arm 120 needs to tilt upwards at a certain angle, the lower mounting member 300 can be thickened, making its thickness greater than that of the upper mounting member 300, thereby tilting the support column 110 relative to it at a certain angle, and causing the support arm 120 to tilt upwards at a certain angle. For example, the mounting member 300 can be a mounting pad.

[0064] Secondly, this application provides a containerized plant factory, including a container body 400 and a hydroponic plant rack as described in the first aspect. The hydroponic plant rack is fixedly installed inside the container body 400. The hydroponic plant rack is used to place planting plate troughs 200 for planting plants. The planting plate troughs 200 contain plant nutrient solution, and planting plates are placed on top of the planting plate troughs 200 for cultivating plants. It should be noted that the container body is prior art, and its specific structure will not be described in detail.

[0065] Since this containerized plant factory includes the hydroponic plant racks in any of the above technical solutions, it has all the beneficial effects of the hydroponic plant racks in any of the above technical solutions, which will not be elaborated here.

[0066] It is readily understood that, based on the several embodiments provided in this application, those skilled in the art can combine, split, or reorganize the embodiments of this application to obtain other embodiments, none of which exceed the protection scope of this application.

[0067] The above detailed embodiments further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of the embodiments of this application. It should be understood that the above are merely specific embodiments of the embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the embodiments of this application.
