[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Reference Figure 1-5A vertical strawberry planting device includes a support base 1, a frame 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the support base 1, first drive components on the left and right sides of the frame 2, and a planting trough 7 on the front side of the frame 2 via the first drive components. The first drive components include slide rails 3 on the left and right sides of the frame 2, a first motor 5 fixedly mounted on the rear side of the slide rails 3, and a first screw 6 fixedly mounted on the output end of the first motor 5 through the slide rails 3 and into the slide rails 3. A first slider 4 is threadedly connected to the surface of the first screw 6, and the first slider 4 is slidably connected to the slide rails 3 and fixedly connected to the planting trough 7. Activating the first motor 5 causes the first screw 6 to rotate, causing the first slider 4 to move back and forth within the slide rails 3, thus adjusting the distance between the planting troughs 7. By adjusting the distance between the planting troughs 7, sufficient sunlight can be ensured for the strawberries, while also facilitating subsequent watering and soil loosening. A sliding groove 8 is provided inside the frame 2, with a second slider 9 slidably connected within it. A connecting block 10 is fixedly installed on the opposing surface of the second slider 9. A second drive assembly is provided at the top of the frame 2 to facilitate the movement of the connecting block 10. The second drive assembly includes a second motor 11 located at the top of the frame 2. The output end of the second motor 11 extends through the frame 2 into its interior and is fixedly installed with a second screw 12. The second screw 12 is threadedly connected to the connecting block 10. Activating the second motor 11 causes the second screw 12 to rotate, thereby causing the connecting block 10 to move the second slider 9 up and down within the sliding groove 8. The movement of the connecting block 10 drives the installation plate 13 to move, facilitating subsequent watering and loosening of the planting troughs 7 at different heights. The installation plate 13 is fixedly installed on the front side of the connecting block 10. A soil loosening component is located at the bottom of the installation plate 13, including a connecting plate 14 at the bottom of the installation plate 13. A third motor 16 is fixedly installed on the left side of the connecting plate 14. The output end of the third motor 16 extends through the connecting plate 14 and is fixedly installed with a third screw 17. A soil loosening plate 18 is threaded onto the surface of the third screw 17. A connecting post 15 is slidably connected inside the soil loosening plate 18. The connecting post 15 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 14. Starting the third motor 16 causes the third screw 17 to rotate, causing the soil loosening plate 18 to move along the connecting post 15. Guided by the machine, it moves back and forth in the left and right directions inside the planting trough 7, making soil loosening inside the planting trough 7 easier and reducing the labor intensity of manual strawberry planting. An irrigation assembly is installed on the top of the support base 1, including a water storage tank 19 located on top of the support base 1. A water pump 20 is installed behind the water storage tank 19, with a hose 21 fixedly installed at the outlet of the water pump 20. A water inlet tank 22 is fixedly installed at the outlet of the hose 21, and a drip pipe 23 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the water inlet tank 22. The water inlet tank 22 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 13. When the water pump 20 is started, water from the water storage tank 19 enters the water inlet tank 22 through the hose 21, and then flows into the soil inside the first planting trough 7 through the drip pipe 23. The water pump 20 is then turned off after irrigation is complete.This simplifies the watering process of planting troughs 7 and reduces the time spent watering strawberries. When watering is needed, the first drive component moves the planting trough 7 close to the frame 2 to a suitable position for the irrigation component, then activates the irrigation component to water the strawberries. After watering, the first drive component returns the planting trough 7 to its original position, and the second drive component moves the connecting block 10 to the height of the next planting trough 7 that needs watering. This process is repeated to irrigate all the strawberries in the planting troughs 7. When loosening the soil is needed, the first drive component moves the planting trough 7... When the planting trough 7 is positioned close to the frame 2 to a suitable working position for the soil loosening component, the second drive component is activated, causing the connecting block 10 to move the mounting plate 13 until the bottom of the soil loosening plate 18 in the soil loosening component is inserted into the soil inside the planting trough 7. The soil is then loosened by the soil loosening component. After loosening, the first drive component moves the soil loosening component upwards to an appropriate height, and then the first drive component returns the planting trough 7 to its original position. This process is repeated until all planting troughs 7 have been loosened. This system automatically waters and loosens the soil for the strawberry plants, simplifying the strawberry planting process and reducing the labor intensity of workers.
[0022] Specifically, there are three planting troughs 7, and the three planting troughs 7 are arranged in a stepped manner. The setting of three planting troughs 7 improves the space utilization of the planting rack and effectively increases the yield of strawberry cultivation.
[0023] Specifically, the second slider 9 has a convex structure and is made of metal. The metal material of the second slider 9 has better structural strength, which effectively prevents the second slider 9 from being damaged or falling off during use.
[0024] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer for control.
[0025] In use: If watering is required, start the first motor 5, causing the first screw 6 to rotate, which in turn causes the first slider 4 to move closer to the frame 2 inside the slide rail 3 until the first planting trough 7 is below the drip pipe 23. Then, start the water pump 20, which allows water from the water storage tank 19 to enter the water inlet tank 22 through the hose 21, and then flow into the soil inside the first planting trough 7 through the drip pipe 23. After watering is complete, turn off the water pump 20, start the first motor 5, causing the first screw 6 to rotate, which in turn causes the first slider 4 to move away from the frame 2 inside the slide rail 3 until the first planting trough 7 returns to its original position. Then, start the second motor 11, causing the second screw 12 to rotate. The connecting block 10 drives the second slider 9 to move downwards to a suitable position inside the slide groove 8. Then, the first motor 5 is started, causing the first screw 6 to rotate, which moves the first slider 4 closer to the frame 2 inside the slide rail 3 until the second planting trough 7 is below the drip pipe 23. The above operation is repeated to complete the watering of all planting troughs 7. When loosening the soil is required, the first motor 5 is started, causing the first screw 6 to rotate, which moves the first slider 4 closer to the frame 2 inside the slide rail 3 until the position of the first planting trough 7 that needs loosening is below the protruding part of the loosening plate 18. Then, the second motor 11 is started, causing the second screw 12 to rotate, which drives the connecting block 10 to move downwards to a suitable position inside the slide groove 8. The second slider 9 moves downward inside the groove 8, causing the mounting plate 13 to drive the connecting plate 14, connecting column 15, third motor 16, third screw 17, and loosening plate 18 downward until the protruding part of the loosening plate 18 inserts into the soil inside the first planting trough 7. The third motor 16 is then activated, causing the third screw 17 to rotate. Guided by the connecting column 15, the loosening plate 18 moves back and forth in the left and right directions inside the first planting trough 7 until the loosening work is complete. Then, the second motor 11 is activated, causing the second screw 12 to rotate, which in turn causes the connecting block 10 to drive the second slider 9 upward inside the groove 8. The mounting plate 13 drives the connecting plate 14, connecting column 15, third motor 16, third screw 17, and loosening plate 18 to move upward, raising the loosening plate 18 to an appropriate height. The first motor 5 is then activated, causing the first screw 6 to rotate, which moves the first slider 4 away from the frame 2 inside the slide rail 3 until the first planting trough 7 returns to its original position. The first motor 5 is then activated again, causing the first screw 6 to rotate, which moves the first slider 4 closer to the frame 2 inside the slide rail 3 until the second planting trough 7, where the soil needs to be loosened, is located below the protruding part of the loosening plate 18. The above operation is repeated until the soil loosening work inside all planting troughs 7 is completed.
