Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tomato planting technology, and more specifically, to a tomato planting device with uniform light transmission. Background Technology
[0002] Tomatoes are a common vegetable that frequently appears on modern dining tables and are in high demand. To facilitate cultivation, trees are not planted; instead, branches are directly transplanted and cultivated using equipment, making planting easier.
[0003] Generally, during planting, the equipment is placed at a high position to ensure sunlight. However, as the branches and tomatoes grow, they tend to pile up, with the outer plants blocking light and affecting the light received by the inner plants. This makes it difficult to ensure uniform light exposure, leading to unstable cultivation quality of the tomatoes. Furthermore, when watering, the common practice is to pour water directly onto the soil surface and wait for it to seep in and be absorbed by the plant roots. However, the diffusion of water in the soil is uncontrolled, and not all of it reaches the vicinity of the roots, but is lost elsewhere, resulting in water waste. In addition, as the plants grow, the branches and fruits may crowd each other, taking up space and affecting each other's development, thus impacting the cultivation quality. Utility Model Content

[0030] Please see Figure 1-5 A tomato planting device with uniform light transmission includes a base frame 1, a drive motor 2 at the lower end of the base frame 1, and a support platform 3 rotatably connected to the upper end of the base frame 1. The drive motor 2 cooperates with the support platform 3. A breeding trough 4 is provided on the support platform 3. A transparent frame 5 is provided at the upper end of the breeding trough 4. The transparent frame 5 is set at both ends of the breeding trough 4, and a support rod 6 is provided inside the transparent frame 5. Multiple support rods 6 are arranged longitudinally and located on different axes.
[0031] A water supply pipe 7 is provided at one end of the breeding tank 4. A water guide pipe 8 is provided inside the breeding tank 4. The water guide pipe 8 is arranged around the breeding tank 4 and is connected to the water supply pipe 7. A water outlet pipe 9 is provided between the water guide pipes 8. A water outlet head 10 is provided on the water outlet pipe 9. Multiple water outlet heads 10 are provided and are evenly arranged on the water outlet pipe 9.
[0032] In this embodiment, the base frame 1 is fixed in a suitable position, and the space provided by the cultivation trough 4 is used to place the planting soil and the cultivated tomato grafted seedlings. During planting, the transparent frame 5 supports multiple support rods 6 at different heights, and then different seedlings are guided to wrap around different support rods 6. The support rods 6 guide the tomato seedlings, so that each group of tomato seedlings is at a different height and forms an inclined plane, which can receive more comprehensive sunlight. In use, the drive motor 2 is adjusted according to the changing state of sunlight, so that the drive motor 2 drives the support platform 3 to rotate, and the support platform 3 rotates the cultivation trough 4, so that the tomatoes rotate during planting and receive uniform sunlight.
[0033] More specifically, when grafting tomato seedlings, a portion of soil is added to the cultivation trough 4, ensuring that the soil does not submerge the water outlet pipe 9. Then, the tomato seedlings are placed in the trough, with their roots distributed around the water outlet pipe 9. The remaining soil is then covered. During planting, water is introduced into the equipment through the water guide pipe 8. The water flows along the water supply pipe 7 into the water guide pipe 8 and is then diverted into the water outlet pipe 9. From there, the water flows through multiple water outlets 10 to the soil, thus directly directing nutrient-rich water to the vicinity of the seedling roots, facilitating root absorption and reducing the loss of nutrients and water.
[0034] Please see Figure 4As one implementation method for distribution adjustment: an adjustment groove 11 is provided on the inner side of the transparent frame 5, a sliding block 12 is slidably connected in the adjustment groove 11, a rotating groove 13 is provided at one end of the sliding block 12, a rotating component 14 is rotatably connected in the rotating groove 13, and a support rod 6 is provided at the movable end of the rotating component 14.
[0035] Specifically, as the tomato seedlings grow and bear fruit, the support rod 6 is adjusted. By controlling the sliding block 12 to slide within the adjusting groove 11, the position of the support rod 6 is adjusted. Through the cooperation of the rotating part 14 and the rotating groove 13, the support rod 6 is rotated, so that each tomato plant maintains a sufficient distance between different support rods 6 to avoid mutual interference.
[0036] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As a further embodiment of the support rod: the support rod 6 is provided with an extension tube 15, one end of which is provided with a sliding groove 16, and the extension tube 15 is slidably engaged with the support rod 6.
[0037] Specifically, by adjusting the extension tube 15, the support rod 6 slides within the sliding groove 16, thereby allowing the extension tube 15 to slide on the support rod 6, increasing the length of the support structure to accommodate the tomato.
[0038] Please see Figure 5 As a further implementation of the extension tube: a limiting groove 17 is provided in the sliding groove 16, and a limiting block 18 is provided on the support rod 6, which cooperates with the limiting groove 17.
[0039] Specifically, when the extension tube 15 moves, the limiting block 18 remains stationary under the restriction of the support rod 6, while the limiting groove 17 moves together with the extension tube 15, causing the limiting block 18 and the limiting groove 17 to slide. When the extension tube 15 moves to its limit, the side wall of the limiting groove 17 will contact the limiting block 18, preventing the extension tube 15 from detaching from the support rod 6.
[0040] Please see Figures 1-3 As a further implementation of the water supply pipe: a water tank 19 is provided on one side of the base frame 1, a water pipe 20 is provided at one end of the water tank 19, and a rotating connector 21 is provided at the lower end of the support platform 3. The two ends of the rotating connector 21 are connected to the water inlet pipe and the water supply pipe 7, respectively.
[0041] Specifically, water is supplied through the water tank 19, and the water supply pipe 7 is connected through the guide of the water pipe 20 and the connection of the rotating connector 21. When the equipment is located on the roof, water can be added directly to the equipment through the water tank 19 below, without the need to go up to the roof to operate.
[0042] Please see Figure 3 As a further implementation of the water outlet pipe: a one-way net 22 is provided at the water outlet head 10.
[0043] Specifically, the water outlet pipe 9 is protected by a one-way net 22 to prevent soil and seedling roots from entering.
[0044] Please see Figure 2 As a further embodiment of the support platform: the lower end of the support platform 3 is provided with a transmission frame 23, and the output end of the drive motor 2 is provided with a transmission wheel 24, which cooperates with the transmission frame 23.
[0045] Specifically, the drive motor 2 provides power to make the transmission wheel 24 rotate. The transmission wheel 24 contacts the transmission frame 23 to transmit power, thereby controlling the rotation of the support platform 3.
[0046] Please see Figures 1-2 As a further embodiment of the base frame: the base frame 1 is provided with a mounting plate 25 at its outer end, and the mounting plate 25 is provided with a mounting through hole 26.
[0047] Specifically, the mounting plate 25 and mounting through holes 26 cooperate with the base frame 1 to provide an installation structure, which can fix the equipment on the roof or ground to ensure the stability of the equipment.
[0048] In summary, during the use or operation of the overall equipment:
[0049] When using the equipment, the mounting plate 25 and mounting through-hole 26 cooperate with the base frame 1 to provide an installation structure, fixing the base frame 1 in a suitable position. The cultivation trough 4 provides space for placing the planting soil and the cultivated tomato grafted seedlings. During planting, the transparent frame 5 supports multiple support rods 6 at different heights, guiding different seedlings to wrap around different support rods 6. The support rods 6 guide the tomato seedlings, ensuring that each group of tomato seedlings is at a different height and forms an inclined plane, allowing for more comprehensive light exposure. Furthermore, during use, the drive motor 2 is adjusted according to the changing sunlight conditions. The drive motor 2 provides power to rotate the transmission wheel 24, which contacts the transmission frame 23 to transmit power, thereby controlling the rotation of the support platform 3. The support platform 3 rotates the cultivation trough 4, causing the tomatoes to rotate during planting and receive uniform light. In addition, the transparent frame 5 is made of transparent material, so it will not affect the light.
[0050] When grafting tomato seedlings, add some soil to the cultivation trough 4, ensuring the soil does not submerge the water outlet pipe 9. Then place the tomato seedlings, ensuring the roots are distributed around the water outlet pipe 9. Cover with the remaining soil. During planting, water is supplied through the water tank 19, connected to the water supply pipe 7 via the guide of the water supply pipe 20 and the rotating connector 21. When the equipment is located on a roof, water can be added directly through the water tank 19 below, eliminating the need for roof access. Control the water tank 19 to distribute water through the water supply pipe 20 and the rotating connector 21. The guide head 21 leads into the water supply pipe 7, and when the equipment rotates, rotating the guide head 21 can ensure a stable connection between the rotating water supply pipe 7 and the water inlet pipe 20. Water is introduced into the equipment through the water guide pipe 8, and the water flows into the water guide pipe 8 along the water supply pipe 7 and is diverted into the water outlet pipe 9. Then, it flows into the soil from multiple water outlets 10, thereby directly guiding the nutrient-rich water to the vicinity of the seedling roots, which is convenient for the roots to absorb and reduces the loss of nutrients and water. In addition, the water outlet pipe 9 is protected by the one-way net 22 to prevent soil and seedling roots from entering.
[0051] As the tomato seedlings grow and bear fruit, the tomatoes will occupy space and may even create new obstructions. At this time, the support rod 6 is adjusted by controlling the sliding block 12 to slide within the adjusting groove 11, thereby adjusting the position of the support rod 6. The rotating part 14 and the rotating groove 13 cooperate to make the support rod 6 rotate, so that each tomato plant maintains sufficient spacing between different support rods 6 to avoid mutual interference. Furthermore, by adjusting the extension tube 15, the support rod 6 slides within the sliding groove 16, thereby allowing the extension tube 15 to slide on the support rod 6, increasing the length of the support structure to accommodate the tomatoes. When the extension tube 15 moves, the limiting block 18 remains stationary under the restriction of the support rod 6, while the limiting groove 17 moves together with the extension tube 15, allowing the limiting block 18 and the limiting groove 17 to slide. When the extension tube 15 moves to its limit, the side wall of the limiting groove 17 will contact the limiting block 18, preventing the extension tube 15 from detaching from the support rod 6.
[0052] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
