Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of leafy vegetable planting equipment, specifically relating to a modular community leafy vegetable planting equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Modular community leafy vegetable growing equipment is an agricultural device designed to improve the efficiency and convenience of cultivation in urban communities. The equipment is usually equipped with hydroponics or aeroponics technology, enabling high-quality cultivation in a small space, and is particularly suitable for urban rooftops, balconies or community gardens.
[0003] Existing modular community leafy vegetable planting equipment has the following drawbacks during use:
[0004] Generally, a drive structure simulating the rotation of a Ferris wheel is used to rotate multiple planting pots. By rotating these pots, the bottom of each pot can be immersed in a water storage tank to absorb water, ensuring the water needs of leafy vegetables. However, this structure can only support planting pots of a fixed size and cannot be adjusted for different sizes. Furthermore, the depth to which the bottom of the planting pot is immersed in the water storage tank is not adjustable, resulting in a fixed amount of water absorbed, which cannot meet the needs of different planting methods. Therefore, a modular community leafy vegetable planting device is needed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular community leafy vegetable planting device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a modular community leafy vegetable planting device, including a water storage tank, with two symmetrically arranged support plates fixed to the top of the water storage tank. Each support plate is rotatably connected to a rotating frame via a connecting shaft. One end of one connecting shaft, away from the rotating frame, extends to the outside of the support plate and is connected to the output shaft of a drive motor. The drive motor is fixed to the outside of the support plate. Multiple rotating shafts arranged in a circular array are rotatably connected to the opposite sidewalls of the two rotating frames. A connecting plate is fixed to the end of each rotating shaft away from the rotating frame. Adjustable support members are connected between the two connecting plates at the same horizontal level, and these adjustable support members are used to support multiple planting pots.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the adjustable support includes a lifting sleeve movably sleeved on the outside of the connecting plate. The vertical cross-section of the lifting sleeve is an inverted T-shaped structure. A lifting groove is provided inside the lifting sleeve to facilitate the lifting and sliding of the connecting plate. A turntable is rotatably connected to the side wall of the lifting sleeve away from the rotating shaft and near the middle of the bottom end of the lifting sleeve via a pin. Two symmetrically distributed U-shaped support rods are also movably inserted into the inner side of the lifting sleeve. The U-shaped support rods are perpendicularly distributed to the connecting plate.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the lifting sleeve is further provided with a movable groove that slides with the U-shaped support rod. The outer wall of the lifting sleeve is also provided with two symmetrically distributed movable channels. The movable groove is connected to the outside through the two movable channels. A transmission column is fixedly connected to the outer wall of each of the two U-shaped support rods. The other end of each of the two transmission columns moves out from the corresponding movable channel and is movably sleeved by the turntable. The turntable is provided with inclined grooves that are adapted to the transmission columns. The two inclined grooves are arranged in a circular array on the turntable.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the top of each U-shaped support rod is provided with a rubber pad.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a guide rod is fixed to the outer wall of the lifting sleeve above the turntable. An inverted L-shaped locking block is slidably sleeved on the outer side of the guide rod. A hand-tightening screw is threaded onto the inverted L-shaped locking block. One end of the hand-tightening screw is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the lifting sleeve. Multiple first slots are arranged in a circular array at the edge of the outer surface of the turntable. All of the multiple first slots are used for the bottom end of the inverted L-shaped locking block to be aligned and locked.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the end of the inverted L-shaped card block away from the turntable is movably inserted into the lifting groove, and a plurality of second card slots are provided on the outer wall of the connecting plate at equal intervals, and the plurality of second card slots are used for the alignment and engagement of the end of the inverted L-shaped card block away from the turntable.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the modular community leafy vegetable planting equipment provided by this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0013] In this utility model, when using this modular community leafy vegetable planting equipment, especially when placing planting pots of different sizes on two U-shaped support rods, it is necessary to manually rotate two hand-tightening screws at the same horizontal height to cause the inverted L-shaped locking block to slide outward on the guide rod. This causes one end of the inverted L-shaped locking block to disengage from the second locking groove, and the other end to disengage from the first locking groove. This simultaneously removes the limiting position of the turntable and the connecting plate. At this time, the turntable can be manually turned, and with the setting of two inclined grooves, the two transmission columns at the same lifting sleeve can move in opposite directions, thereby causing the two U-shaped support rods to move in opposite directions and widening the distance, which facilitates the placement of larger-sized planting pots. In addition, while turning the turntable, since the lifting sleeve can slide on the connecting plate, it is easy to adjust the height of the lifting sleeve synchronously. This allows the planting pots to be immersed in the water at different depths in the water storage tank when rotating into the water storage tank, so as to absorb different amounts of water and meet the needs of different planting applications.

[0022] Example
[0023] Generally, the rotation of multiple planting pots 2 is achieved by simulating the rotation of a Ferris wheel. By rotating multiple planting pots 2, the bottom of each planting pot 2 can be immersed in the water storage tank 1 to absorb water, so as to ensure the water needs of leafy vegetables. However, this structure can only support planting pots 2 of fixed size and cannot be adjusted for planting pots 2 of different sizes. In addition, the depth of the bottom of the planting pot 2 immersed in the water storage tank 1 is not adjustable, resulting in a fixed amount of water absorbed, which cannot meet the needs of different planting.
[0024] For this purpose, please refer to Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a modular community leafy vegetable planting device, including: a water storage tank 1, with two symmetrically arranged support plates 11 fixed to the top of the water storage tank 1. Each of the two support plates 11 is rotatably connected to a rotating frame 12 via a connecting shaft. One end of one of the connecting shafts, away from the rotating frame 12, extends to the outside of the support plate 11 and is connected to the output shaft of a drive motor 13. The drive motor 13 is fixed to the outside of the support plate 11. Multiple rotating shafts 14 arranged in a circular array are rotatably connected to the opposite side wall of each of the two rotating frames 12. Each end of the rotating shaft 14 away from the rotating frame 12 is fixed to a connecting plate 15. Adjustable support members 3 are connected between the two connecting plates 15 at the same horizontal level. The adjustable support members 3 are used to support multiple planting pots 2.
[0025] The structure of the drive motor 13 driving the two rotating frames 12 to rotate is existing technology and will not be described in detail.
[0026] Further as Figure 1-4As shown, it is worth noting that in order to accommodate planting pots 2 of different sizes and to adjust the depth of the bottom of the planting pot 2 immersed in the water storage tank 1, an adjustable support 3 is provided, including a lifting sleeve 31 that is movably sleeved on the outside of the connecting plate 15. The vertical cross-section of the lifting sleeve 31 is an inverted T-shaped structure, and a lifting groove 32 is provided inside the lifting sleeve 31 to facilitate the lifting and sliding of the connecting plate 15. The side wall of the lifting sleeve 31 facing away from the rotating shaft 14 and close to the bottom of the lifting sleeve 31 is... A turntable 34 is rotatably connected to the middle position via a pin 33. Two symmetrically distributed U-shaped support rods 35 are movably inserted into the inner side of the lifting sleeve 31. The U-shaped support rods 35 are perpendicular to the connecting plate 15. A sliding groove is also provided inside the lifting sleeve 31 to slide with the U-shaped support rods 35. Two symmetrically distributed movable channels 36 are also provided on the outer wall of the lifting sleeve 31. The sliding groove communicates with the outside through the two movable channels 36. A transmission column 37 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of each of the two U-shaped support rods 35. The other end of each rod extends out from the corresponding movable channel 36 and is movably fitted by the turntable 34. Each turntable 34 has a slanted groove 38 adapted to the transmission column 37. Two slanted grooves 38 are arranged in a circular array on the turntable 34. The top of each U-shaped support rod 35 is equipped with a rubber pad. Above the turntable 34 is a guide rod 310 fixed to the outer wall of the lifting sleeve 31. An inverted L-shaped locking block 39 is slidably fitted on the outer side of the guide rod 310. A hand-tightening screw 311 is threaded onto the inverted L-shaped locking block 39. One end of 1 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the lifting sleeve 31. Multiple first slots 312 arranged in a ring array are provided at the outer surface edge of the turntable 34. The multiple first slots 312 are used for the bottom end of the inverted L-shaped card block 39 to be aligned and engaged. The end of the inverted L-shaped card block 39 away from the turntable 34 is movably inserted into the lifting groove 32. Multiple second slots 313 are provided on the outer wall of the connecting plate 15. The multiple second slots 313 are used for the end of the inverted L-shaped card block 39 away from the turntable 34 to be aligned and engaged.
[0027] The lifting sleeve 31 has a through opening that matches the inverted L-shaped locking block 39, and the width of the inclined groove 38 is equal to the diameter of the transmission column 37. The rubber pad allows the bottom edge of the top part of the planting pot 2 to overlap on the rubber pad, and prevents the planting pot 2 from wobbling left and right when it is placed on the rotating frame 12 and rotated.
[0028] In summary: When using this modular community leafy vegetable planting equipment, especially when placing planting pots 2 of different sizes on two U-shaped support rods 35, it is necessary to manually rotate the two hand-tightening screws 311 at the same horizontal level to cause the inverted L-shaped locking block 39 to slide outward on the guide rod 310. This causes one end of the inverted L-shaped locking block 39 to disengage from the second locking slot 313, and the other end to disengage from the first locking slot 312. This simultaneously removes the limiting position of the turntable 34 and the connecting plate 15. At this time, the turntable 34 can be manually turned, and the two... The inclined groove 38 allows the two transmission columns 37 at the same lifting sleeve 31 to move away from each other, thereby causing the two U-shaped support rods 35 to move away from each other and widening the distance between them. This facilitates the placement of larger planting pots 2. In addition, while turning the turntable 34, the lifting sleeve 31 can slide on the connecting plate 15, making it easy to adjust the height of the lifting sleeve 31 synchronously. This allows the planting pot 2 to be immersed in the water of the water storage tank 1 at different depths when it rotates into the water storage tank 1, so as to absorb different amounts of water and meet the needs of different planting applications.
