[0037] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, outlines some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0038] Example 1
[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides a leafy vegetable planting device, including:
[0040] Leafy vegetable planting wall 1, used for planting leafy vegetables;
[0041] Supplemental lighting wall 2, used to provide light for leafy vegetables;
[0042] The hanging rail 3 is used to install both the leafy vegetable planting wall 1 and the supplementary lighting wall 2, allowing them to move along the hanging rail 3.
[0043] Supplemental lighting is installed on the side of the supplemental lighting wall corresponding to the leafy vegetables. The light from the supplemental lighting can shine directly on the leafy vegetables to achieve vertical supplemental lighting.
[0044] The leafy vegetable planting wall 1 has a planting area on at least one side, which is used to plant leafy vegetables.
[0045] In this embodiment, planting areas are provided on both sides of the leafy vegetable planting wall 1. For example, each side of the planting area has multiple pools for planting leafy vegetables arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The pools are fixed to the side of the leafy vegetable planting wall 1, with the pool openings facing upwards. Preferably, the width of the pools is the same as the width of the leafy vegetable planting wall 1. The depth and thickness of the pools can be flexibly designed according to actual needs. Multiple pools are arranged sequentially from bottom to top in the planting area to form multiple layers. This multi-layer design can improve space utilization compared to planting in a single layer on the ground.
[0046] In this embodiment, the hanging rail 3 is divided into multiple segments, which are used to install the leafy vegetable planting wall 1 or the supplementary lighting wall 2. Therefore, due to the multiple segments of the hanging rail 3, the leafy vegetable planting wall 1 and the supplementary lighting wall 2 can be freely arranged on the hanging rail 3. Among the multiple segments of the hanging rail 3, there are mainly planting wall segment 31, first lighting wall segment 32, and second lighting wall segment 33. The first lighting wall segment 32 and the second lighting wall segment 33 are located on both sides of the planting wall and are parallel to each other.
[0047] The top of the leafy vegetable planting wall 1 is installed on the planting wall section, and the two supplementary light walls 2 are respectively installed on the first light wall section 32 and the second light wall section 33. The leafy vegetable planting wall 1 can move along the hanging rail 3 of the planting wall section, and the two supplementary light walls 2 can move along the first light wall section 32 and the second light wall section 33 respectively.
[0048] In this embodiment, the hanging rail 3 adopts a roller 302 type hanging rail 3 structure, that is, the hanging rail 3 includes a hanging rail body 301, a hanging wheel assembly and a suspension member 305. The hanging rail body 301 has a track inside, the hanging wheel assembly is installed in the track, and the rollers 302 on the hanging wheel assembly can roll along the track.
[0049] Suspension rail body 301: This is the basic part of the roller 302 type suspension rail 3 system. It is usually made of metal materials (such as steel or aluminum alloy) and can be straight, curved, or a specific shape of rail to meet different usage requirements. The suspension rail body 301 needs to have a certain strength and rigidity to ensure that it will not deform or break during long-term use.
[0050] Hanging wheel assembly: The hanging wheel assembly, also known as the roller 302 assembly, is one of the key components of the roller 302 type hanging rail 3. It includes one or more rollers 302, a main body 304, and axles 303. These rollers 302 are mounted on axle 303 and can rotate freely. At least one axle 303 is mounted side by side on the main body 304, with rollers 302 mounted at both ends of the axle 303. The rollers 302 roll on the rail body 301. The design of the rollers 302 directly affects the smoothness and stability of the equipment movement. The rollers 302 are usually made of steel or other wear-resistant materials to ensure their durability.
[0051] Hanging component 305: Used to connect the hanging wheel assembly on the hanging rail 3 to the object that needs to be suspended or moved (such as the leafy vegetable planting wall 1 or the supplementary lighting wall 2 in this embodiment). The hanging component 305 can be designed in various ways; the appropriate type can be selected according to the actual application scenario. It can be a simple hook, a more complex fixing device, or a screw, designed to ensure a safe and stable connection to the object. The leafy vegetable planting wall 1 or the supplementary lighting wall 2 is suspended from the hanging rail 3 via the hanging component 305. Note: The roller 302 type hanging rail 3 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0052] Working principle of roller 302 type hanging rail 3:
[0053] When the roller 302 type hanging rail 3 system is working, the roller 302 rolls along the hanging rail 3, driving the suspension component 305 and the objects connected to it (such as the leafy vegetable planting wall 1 or the supplementary lighting wall 2) to move. In order to improve the moving efficiency and stability, the roller 302 and the hanging rail 3 need to maintain good contact and lubrication. In addition, the design of the hanging rail 3 also needs to consider how to effectively bear the weight of the object and prevent the roller 302 from derailing due to gravity.
[0054] Note: A detachable limiting device can also be installed at the end of the track to prevent the roller assembly from derailing.
[0055] In this embodiment, the movement of the leafy vegetable planting wall 1 and the supplementary lighting wall 2 on the hanging rail 3 requires manual pushing. Workers 4 push them to the appropriate position according to the actual situation. Since the leafy vegetable planting wall 1 and the supplementary lighting wall 2 are set parallel to each other, a movable and detachable crossbeam can be set between them. Workers 4 can push and pull the crossbeam to drive the leafy vegetable planting wall 1 and the supplementary lighting wall 2 to move synchronously.
[0056] How to use:
[0057] Workers 4 push and pull the leafy vegetable planting wall 1 to move it to the appropriate position along the hanging rail 3. The leafy vegetable planting wall 1 and the supplemental lighting wall 2 are arranged parallel to each other and move along the hanging rail 3. This allows the leafy vegetables to move freely according to the angle of sunlight, promoting balanced growth in different areas. Leafy vegetables are planted on both sides of the leafy vegetable planting wall 1, requiring the supplemental lighting walls 2 on either side to provide light, thereby increasing leafy vegetable yield. The leafy vegetable planting wall 1 is responsible for planting leafy vegetables, while the supplemental lighting walls 2 provide supplemental lighting for the leafy vegetables growing on the planting wall 1. Both are manually pushed along the hanging rail 3; this arrangement saves space and increases the space utilization rate for leafy vegetables.
[0058] Example 2
[0059] This embodiment provides a leafy vegetable planting device, which differs from the technical solution of Embodiment 1 in that the structure of the hanging rail 3 is different, as detailed below:
[0060] In this embodiment, the hanging rail 3 is a slider-type hanging rail 3, which replaces the hanging wheel assembly in the roller 302 type hanging rail 3 with a slider. Therefore, the slider-type hanging rail 3 includes a rail body 301 and a slider assembly. The slider assembly includes a slider, and the rail body 301 has a track inside. The slider is slidably installed in the track and can slide along the track. The slider-type hanging rail 3 moves the suspended object (such as the leafy vegetable planting wall 1 or the supplemental lighting wall 2, etc.) by the slider sliding in the track.
[0061] Example 3
[0062] This embodiment provides a leafy vegetable planting device. The difference between this embodiment and the technical solution of Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2 lies in the different driving method of the hanging rail 3, as follows: In the technical solution of Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, the manual driving method is achieved by workers 4 pushing and pulling. In this embodiment, each section of the hanging rail 3 is equipped with a driving component. The driving component can be an electric push rod or a hydraulic cylinder, which can be used to drive the leafy vegetable planting wall 1 or the supplementary lighting wall 2 to move respectively; or, since the leafy vegetable planting wall 1 and the supplementary lighting wall 2 are arranged parallel to each other, a movable and detachable crossbeam can be set in between. Then, the extension and retraction of the electric push rod or the hydraulic cylinder can be used to push and pull the crossbeam, thereby driving the leafy vegetable planting wall 1 and the supplementary lighting wall 2 to move synchronously.
[0063] Example 4
[0064] This embodiment provides a leafy vegetable planting device, which differs from the technical solutions of any of the embodiments in Embodiments 1-3 in that:
[0065] In this embodiment, the hanging rail 3 also includes a spray section, and spray sections are respectively provided between the first light wall section 32 and the planting wall section 31, and between the second light wall section 33 and the planting wall section 31.
[0066] Furthermore, it also includes a spraying device installed below the spraying section, the spraying device being used to spray water mist, nutrient solution or pesticide solution onto the leafy vegetables.
[0067] Furthermore, the spraying device includes a spray pipe and an atomizing nozzle. The spray pipe is rotatably or slidably connected to the spraying section. Multiple nozzles are provided on the spray pipe, and the atomizing nozzle is installed at each nozzle. The atomizing nozzle is correspondingly set to the planting area of the leafy vegetable planting wall 1.
[0068] The spraying device also includes a liquid storage tank and a water pump. The liquid storage tank can hold the water, nutrient solution or medicine solution required for the growth of leafy vegetables. The water pump draws the liquid in the liquid storage tank to the spray pipe, and then sprays it onto the leafy vegetables through the atomizing nozzle.
[0069] Example 5
[0070] This embodiment provides a leafy vegetable planting device, which differs from the technical solutions of any of the embodiments in Embodiments 1-4 in that:
[0071] In this embodiment, the leafy vegetable planting wall 1 can be replaced by a leafy vegetable planting rack, that is, the leafy vegetable planting rack is installed on the planting wall section 31 of the hanging rail 3. The interior of the leafy vegetable planting rack is a hollow structure, while the interior of the leafy vegetable planting wall 1 is a solid structure, which is also the difference between the two.
[0072] Specifically, the top of the leafy vegetable planting rack is suspended from the hanging rail 3 by the hanging component 305. The leafy vegetable planting rack is equipped with multiple pools from bottom to top. The pools are used to plant leafy vegetables. The multiple pools form multiple layers. The openings of the pools face upwards, and the spaces between adjacent pools are hollow structures.
