Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of agricultural planting equipment technology, and in particular to a soilless vertical cultivation equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Soilless cultivation is a new crop cultivation technology that has developed in recent decades. Crops are not grown in soil, but in an aqueous solution containing dissolved minerals or in a certain cultivation substrate. They are cultivated using nutrient solutions. As long as there are certain cultivation equipment and management measures, crops can grow normally and achieve high yields. Because natural soil is not used and crops are cultivated by irrigating with nutrient solutions, it is called soilless cultivation.
[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN218417653U discloses a rotary high-efficiency three-dimensional planting device. The horizontal tray 4 includes a base frame 41, with hanging plates 42 connected to both ends of the base frame 41. The upper part of the hanging plate 42 has an inclined notch, through which it is hung on a small bushing. When installing the horizontal tray, it is directly hung on the small bushing through the inclined notch on the hanging plate 42. This structure needs to be simple, but it is unstable and easily falls out of the inclined notch. Moreover, during operation, the small bushing and the inclined notch will rub against each other, thus generating noise. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a soilless vertical cultivation device to solve one of the aforementioned technical problems.
[0005] This application is achieved through the following technical solution:

Several planting tray assemblies are connected between the two chain conveyor devices. Each planting tray assembly includes a tray frame. Connectors for connecting to the chain conveyor devices are provided on both the left and right sides of the tray frame. Each connector includes a hook shaft, on which a U-groove bearing and two connecting support bars are rotatably mounted. The other ends of the two connecting support bars are connected to the chain conveyor devices. Hook plates are also provided on both sides of the tray frame. Each hook plate has a communicating clearance hole and a hanging hole. The U-groove bearing passes through the clearance hole and is hung in the hanging hole.

[0026] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0027] See Figures 1-6 The soilless vertical cultivation equipment shown includes a frame 1, with chain conveyor devices on both the left and right sides of the frame 1. Several planting tray assemblies are connected between the two chain conveyor devices. Each planting tray assembly includes a tray frame 2. Connectors connected to the chain conveyor devices are provided on both the left and right sides of the tray frame 2. Each connector includes a hook shaft 3. A U-groove bearing 4 and two connecting support bars 5 are rotatably mounted on the hook shaft 3. The other ends of the two connecting support bars 5 are connected to the chain conveyor devices. Hook pieces 6 are also provided on both sides of the tray frame 2. The hook pieces 6 are provided with interconnected clearance holes 7 and hanging holes 8. The U-groove bearing 4 passes through the clearance hole 7 and is hung in the hanging hole 8.
[0028] Based on the above structure, by setting up the U-groove bearing 4, the clearance hole 7, and the hanging hole 8, when installing the pallet frame 2, the U-groove bearing 4 is first inserted into the clearance hole 7, and then the U-groove bearing 4 is hung in the hanging hole 8. The structure is simple, easy to install, has good stability, and produces no noise during operation.
[0029] It should be noted that the diameter of the clearance hole 7 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the U-groove bearing 4, while the diameter of the hanging hole 8 is roughly the same as the groove diameter of the U-groove bearing 4, so that the U-groove bearing 4 can be securely hung in the hanging hole 8.
[0030] See Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, the pallet rack 2 includes a rectangular frame 21, on which a plurality of pallet support strips 22 are spaced apart.
[0031] Furthermore, a limiting protrusion plate 31 is provided on the inner side of the rectangular frame 21, and both ends of the tray support bar 22 are provided with downwardly bent limiting bars 32, which are hung on the limiting protrusion plate 31.
[0032] Therefore, the number of tray support strips 22 can be selected according to different specifications of planting trays, and the position of the tray support strips 22 can be adjusted by sliding them left and right.
[0033] See Figures 1-3 As shown, the frame 1 includes left and right spaced supports 41, each of which is provided with a vertical pole 42, and a plurality of crossbeams 43 are connected between the two vertical poles 42.
[0034] Furthermore, the chain conveying device includes sprockets 51 located at the upper and lower ends of the upright 42, and a chain 52 is connected and sleeved between the two sprockets 51. One end of the connecting support bar 5 is connected to the chain 52. A drive motor 53 is connected to one of the sprockets 51. The drive motor 53 power assembly adopts a two-stage speed change, which can achieve maximum torque with minimal power consumption. In addition, its chain conveying device is a conventional design and will not be described in detail here.
[0035] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a spray pipe 61 is provided on the bottommost crossbeam 43, which can be used to humidify the plants.
[0036] Supplemental lights 71 are installed on both the front and rear sides of the crossbeam 43 to provide supplemental lighting for the plants.
[0037] Furthermore, a control box 81 is provided on the support 41. The control box 81 controls the drive motor 53, the sprinkler pipe 61, the supplementary light 71, and displays the data collected by the environmental sensor. Of course, an environmental sensor acquisition device (not shown in the attached figure) can be provided on the frame 1 to ensure that the plants can grow normally.
[0038] Thus, the planting equipment of this utility model occupies a small area, about 6 square meters, but can achieve a planting area of more than 40 square meters, with about 200W of plant supplemental lighting, which can meet the plant's light needs when there is no sunlight.
