Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Chinese medicinal herb cultivation technology, specifically to an adjustable supplemental lighting device for Chinese medicinal herb cultivation. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine refers to renowned and high-quality medicinal materials that are traditionally recognized by people and originate from specific production areas, possessing Chinese characteristics. Their essence lies in the high quality and efficacy of the medicinal materials, which have been widely recognized by doctors and patients through long-term use.
[0003] When selecting and cultivating Chinese medicinal herbs, supplemental lighting devices are needed to enhance the light intensity of the plants, enabling them to receive light more effectively. Additionally, providing light at night extends the duration of light exposure, thereby increasing photosynthetic time and promoting plant development. Traditional supplemental lighting devices are often one-piece designs, unable to adjust the height and direction of the light, making them unsuitable for supplementing light to herbs of different heights. Furthermore, existing devices can only provide supplemental lighting at night, limiting their applicability during the day.
[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an adjustable supplemental lighting device for the cultivation of Chinese medicinal materials. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable supplementary lighting device for cultivating Chinese medicinal materials, which can provide supplementary lighting at night, enhance lighting conditions during the day, and adjust the height and angle of the supplementary lighting.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: an adjustable supplementary lighting device for cultivating Chinese medicinal materials, comprising a lifting frame and a supplementary lighting component, characterized in that: the lifting frame includes a base, a fixed rod and a control box fixedly installed on the upper end of the base, a support rod disposed on the outside of the fixed rod, a lifting rod movably sleeved inside the fixed rod, a hinge plate fixedly installed on the top of the lifting rod, and hinge grooves equidistantly arranged on the outside of the hinge plate; the supplementary lighting component includes an adjusting rod hinged inside the hinge groove, a reflector fixedly installed on the upper end of the adjusting rod, an adjusting sleeve movably sleeved outside the lifting rod, a push-pull rod rotatably connected at both ends to the upper end of the adjusting sleeve and the middle of the adjusting rod, an electric push rod fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fixed rod, and a connecting block fixedly connected to the top of the electric push rod and the lower end of the adjusting sleeve.
[0007] Furthermore, multiple support rods are provided; the support rods are equidistantly arranged circumferentially on the outside of the fixed rod.
[0008] Furthermore, the upper end of the fixing rod is provided with an adjustment knob for fixing the lifting rod; a limit block is provided in the middle of the lifting rod.
[0009] Furthermore, the reflector is an isosceles trapezoidal plate, and several supplementary lights are fixedly installed on the back of the reflector; the supplementary lights are electrically connected to the control panel.
[0010] Furthermore, the reflector has a rough glass mirror surface on its reflective surface; the supplementary light is an LED light.
[0011] Furthermore, the adjusting rod includes a main rod with one end hinged inside the hinge groove, and several auxiliary rods symmetrically distributed on both sides of the main rod. The auxiliary rods are inclined at an angle of 30 to 60° on both sides of the main rod; the length of the auxiliary rods is adapted to the width of the reflector.
[0012] Furthermore, the control box has a control panel on its surface, a battery fixedly installed inside the control box, and a charging port located on the side of the control box; the control panel is equipped with a central processing unit, an input / output module, a lifting control module, and control buttons, and the control buttons, battery, and charging port are all electrically connected to the central processing unit through the input / output module; the electric push rod is electrically connected to the central processing unit through the lifting control module.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] This invention uses multiple reflectors with a rough glass mirror on the reflective surface of the reflectors. This allows daytime light to be diffusely reflected through the rough glass mirror, increasing the amount of light reaching the medicinal herbs and thus improving the light intensity received by the herbs during the day. By installing supplementary lights on the back of the reflectors, the device can illuminate the medicinal herbs at night, extending the light exposure time of the plants and thus increasing their photosynthetic time and promoting their development.
[0015] By incorporating an adjusting sleeve, push-pull rod, adjusting rod, electric push rod, and connecting block, the device allows control of the electric push rod's extension and retraction via the control panel. This movement of the connecting block up and down pushes the adjusting sleeve upwards or downwards. The push-pull rod then extends or retracts the adjusting rod, adjusting the reflector's expansion or contraction. By controlling the upward or downward movement of the adjusting sleeve, the reflector's expansion or contraction can be controlled, thereby adjusting the angle of diffuse reflection from the glass mirror and the angle of the supplementary lighting. The device also features a fixed rod, adjusting knob, and lifting rod that work together to clamp or release the lifting rod by tightening or loosening the adjusting knob. Manually pulling out or retracting the lifting rod allows adjustment of its length extending beyond the fixed rod. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Example 1
[0026] See Figures 1 to 5As shown, an adjustable supplemental lighting device for cultivating Chinese medicinal herbs includes a lifting frame 1 and a supplemental lighting component 2. The lifting frame 1 includes a base 11, a fixed rod 12 and a control box 13 fixedly installed on the upper end of the base 11, a support rod 14 disposed on the outside of the fixed rod 12, a lifting rod 15 movably sleeved inside the fixed rod 12, a hinge plate 16 fixedly installed on the top of the lifting rod 15, and hinge grooves 17 equidistantly arranged circumferentially on the outside of the hinge plate 16. The supplemental lighting component 2 includes an adjusting rod 21 hinged inside the hinge groove 17, a reflector 22 fixedly installed on the upper end of the adjusting rod 21, an adjusting sleeve 23 movably sleeved outside the lifting rod 15, a push-pull rod 24 rotatably connected at both ends to the upper end of the adjusting sleeve 23 and the middle of the adjusting rod 21, an electric push rod 25 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fixed rod 12, and a connecting block 26 fixedly connecting the top of the electric push rod 25 and the lower end of the adjusting sleeve 23.
[0027] Multiple support rods 14 are provided; the support rods 14 are equidistantly arranged circumferentially outside the fixed rod 12. This provides stable support for the device and improves its stability.
[0028] The upper end of the fixed rod 12 is provided with an adjustment knob 121 for fixing the lifting rod 15; the lifting rod 15 can be clamped or released by tightening or loosening the adjustment knob 121, and the length of the lifting rod 15 extending out of the fixed rod 12 can be adjusted by manually pulling out or pressing back the lifting rod 15; a limit block 151 is provided in the middle of the lifting rod 15, which can separate the fixed rod 12 from the adjusting sleeve 23 to avoid excessive retraction, squeezing the adjusting sleeve 23 and causing damage to the adjusting sleeve 23.
[0029] The reflector 22 is an isosceles trapezoidal plate, and several supplementary lights 221 are fixedly installed on the back of the reflector 22. The supplementary lights 221 are electrically connected to the control panel. The reflective surface of the reflector 221 is provided with a rough glass mirror. The supplementary lights 222 are LED lights. This allows the reflectors 22 to close together when the device is fully retracted, enabling better reflection in all directions. At the same time, the supplementary lights 221 can illuminate the medicinal herbs at night, prolonging the light exposure time of the medicinal plants, thereby increasing their photosynthetic time and promoting the development of the medicinal plants.
[0030] The adjusting rod 21 includes a main rod 211 with one end hinged inside the hinge groove 17, and several auxiliary rods 212 symmetrically distributed on both sides of the main rod 211. The auxiliary rods 212 are inclined at an angle of 30 to 60° on both sides of the main rod 211. The length of the auxiliary rods 212 is adapted to the width of the reflector 22. This allows for better support of the reflector 22, disperses the pressure point of the reflector 22, and prevents the reflector 22 from pressing completely on the main rod 211 and causing damage to the main rod 211.
[0031] The control box 13 has a control panel 131 on its surface, a battery fixedly installed inside the control box 13, and a charging port located on the side of the control box 13. The control panel 131 is equipped with a central processing unit, an input / output module, a lifting control module, and control buttons. The control buttons, the battery, and the charging port are all electrically connected to the central processing unit through the input / output module. The electric push rod 25 is electrically connected to the central processing unit through the lifting control module.
[0032] Example 2
[0033] The structure of the fixed rod 12, the adjusting knob 121, and the lifting rod 15 described in this utility model is consistent with the existing tent lifting rod structure. All of them can clamp or release the lifting rod by tightening or loosening the adjusting knob. With the help of manually pulling out the lifting rod or pressing back the lifting rod, the length of the lifting rod extending out of the fixed rod can be adjusted.
[0034] The electric actuator 25 described in this utility model adopts an existing electric actuator that is compatible with the size and stroke of this device, such as the Longteng brand electric actuator with model number XDHA12-1000.
[0035] The outer diameter of the limiting block 151 of this utility model is larger than the inner diameter of the fixing rod 12, which ensures that the lifting rod 15 will not retract excessively when it retracts. At the same time, it separates the fixing rod 12 from the adjusting sleeve 23 to avoid excessive retraction, squeezing the adjusting sleeve 23 and causing damage to the adjusting sleeve 23.
[0036] The structure formed by the adjusting sleeve 23, push-pull rod 24, adjusting rod 21 and hinge groove 17 described in this utility model is the same as the existing umbrella rib structure, and all of them can drive the adjusting rod to unfold or retract by pushing the adjusting sleeve.
[0037] Example 3
[0038] Working principle: When using this device, first, according to the height of the Chinese medicinal materials, loosen the adjustment knob 121 to pull the lifting rod outward or press it inward until the reflector 22 reaches the appropriate position. Then, tighten the adjustment knob 121 to lock the lifting rod. Then, select the unfolding angle according to whether it is day or night.
[0039] During the day:
[0040] By operating the control panel 131, the electric push rod 25 is controlled to move upward, thereby expanding the reflector 22 outward. According to the angle of sunlight, when the expanded reflector 22 can reflect sunlight onto the medicinal plant, it stops expanding outward. At this time, the angle of the reflector 22 reflects sunlight onto the medicinal plant, increasing the amount of light hitting the medicinal plant, thereby increasing the light intensity received by the medicinal plant during the day.
[0041] At night:
[0042] By operating the control panel 131, the electric push rod 25 is controlled to move, pushing the adjusting sleeve 23 upward, thereby unfolding the reflector 22 outward until the supplementary light 221 on the back of the reflector 22 is exposed. At this time, the control panel 131 is operated to turn on the supplementary light 221. Then, the electric push rod 25 is extended or shortened according to the illumination angle of the supplementary light 221, thereby controlling the opening angle of the reflector 22 until the optimal illumination angle of the supplementary light 221 is reached (by human judgment); the adjustment is stopped. At this time, the device can illuminate Chinese medicinal materials at night, prolong the light exposure time of Chinese medicinal plants, thereby increasing their photosynthetic time and promoting the development of medicinal plants.
