Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant supplemental lighting technology, and in particular to a vertical farm supplemental lighting device. Background Technology

[0002] Supplemental lighting is an important technique when growing plants and vegetables on a farm, especially in situations where sunlight is insufficient. Supplemental lighting can compensate for the lack of natural light for plants and vegetables, and it can promote their growth. Moreover, different colors of light have different effects on plants and vegetables, so it is necessary to adjust the light intensity, duration, and color of light appropriately under suitable conditions.

[0003] In existing technologies, supplemental lighting devices in farms are generally installed on frames inside greenhouses and fixed by bolts or suspension. This method fixes the height of the supplemental lighting device in place, making it difficult to adjust its height and orientation, which in turn affects its daily use.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a vertical farm supplemental lighting device is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] One objective of this invention is to provide a vertical farm supplementary lighting device, which solves the problem that existing supplementary lighting devices are difficult to adjust appropriately in terms of height and orientation.

[0006] A vertical farm supplementary lighting device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a supplementary light and a base plate. A height adjustment component is provided on the top of the base plate. The height adjustment component includes a hand-cranked movable component with a reciprocating screw on it. The bottom end of the reciprocating screw is rotatably connected to the base plate. A first guide rod is also provided on the base plate near the reciprocating screw. An adjustment block is movably sleeved on the surface of the first guide rod and the reciprocating screw. An orientation adjustment component is provided on one side of the adjustment block. The orientation adjustment component includes a disc, a movable groove, and a movable block. The disc is fixed on the adjustment block. The movable groove is formed on the adjustment block and the disc. The movable block moves inside the movable groove. A connecting rod is provided on the side of the movable block. A lampshade with an opening facing downwards is provided at the other end of the connecting rod. The supplementary light is installed inside the lampshade.

[0007] The hand-cranked movable component includes a first gear, a second gear, and a third gear. The first gear and the second gear are both mounted on the top of the base plate via a rotating shaft. The third gear is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the reciprocating lead screw. The first gear meshes with the second gear, and the second gear meshes with the third gear. A handle is provided on the side of the first gear away from the base plate.

[0008] The orientation adjustment assembly also includes a positioning tooth groove, which is opened inside the movable groove. A limit groove is opened on the side of the movable block away from the connecting rod. A spring and an orientation locking block are respectively movable inside the limit groove. One end of the spring is connected to the inner wall of the limit groove away from the movable groove, and the other end of the spring is movable on the orientation locking block. One end of the orientation locking block passes through the limit groove and extends into the positioning tooth groove to engage with the positioning tooth groove.

[0009] The connecting rod includes a fixed cylinder and a telescopic rod. The fixed cylinder is fixed to the side of the movable block. A locking bolt is provided on the surface of the fixed cylinder away from the movable block. One end of the locking bolt passes through the fixed cylinder and is attached to the surface of the telescopic rod.

[0010] The top of the lampshade has an air hole, and a fan translation component is installed inside the lampshade above the fill light. A cooling fan is installed on the fan translation component.

[0011] The fan translation assembly includes a reciprocating screw, a second guide rod, and a drive motor. The drive motor is mounted on the inner wall of the lampshade, the second guide rod is fixed inside the lampshade, and the reciprocating screw is rotatably connected inside the lampshade. A transmission gear is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the reciprocating screw, and a power gear is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the drive motor. The power gear and the transmission gear mesh with each other. An adjustment plate is movably sleeved on the surfaces of the second guide rod and the reciprocating screw. A through slot is opened on the adjustment plate, and the cooling fan is fixed at the position corresponding to the through slot on the adjustment plate.

[0012] A deflector plate is provided on the side of the cooling fan closest to the fill light.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] By setting up a height adjustment component and an orientation adjustment component, the reciprocating screw in the height adjustment component rotates, causing the adjustment block to move up and down. The movement of the adjustment block, in turn, drives the fill light to move up and down via the connecting rod and the lampshade, thus adjusting the height. Then, by rotating the lampshade and the fill light, the movable block moves within the movable slot via the connecting rod. The movable block rotates around the axis of the reciprocating screw, thereby changing the orientation of the fill light in the horizontal plane. This achieves the effect of adjusting the height and orientation of the fill light, solving the problem that existing fill light devices are difficult to adjust their height and orientation appropriately.

[0015] By setting up connecting rods and adjusting their length, the distance between the fill light and the height adjustment component is increased, allowing the fill light to move horizontally and increasing its adjustment range. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] refer to Figure 1The system includes a supplementary light 1 and a base plate 2. A height adjustment assembly 3 is located on the top of the base plate 2. The height adjustment assembly 3 includes a hand-cranked movable assembly 4, on which a reciprocating lead screw 5 is mounted. The hand-cranked movable assembly 4 includes a first gear 14, a second gear 15, and a third gear 16. The first gear 14 and the second gear 15 are both mounted on the top of the base plate 2 via a rotating shaft. The third gear 16 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the reciprocating lead screw 5. The first gear 14 meshes with the second gear 15, and the second gear 15 meshes with the third gear 16. The second gear 15 is an intermediate transmission wheel, mainly used to drive the third gear 16 to rotate through the second gear 15 when the first gear 14 is rotated, thereby driving the reciprocating lead screw 5 to rotate. A handle 17 is located on the side of the first gear 14 away from the base plate 2. The bottom of the reciprocating lead screw 5... The end is rotatably connected to the base plate 2. A first guide rod 6 is also provided on the base plate 2 near the reciprocating lead screw 5. The first guide rod 6 and the reciprocating lead screw 5 are parallel. An adjusting block 7 is movably sleeved on the surface of the first guide rod 6 and the reciprocating lead screw 5. When the handle 17 is turned, the handle 17 will drive the first gear 14 to rotate. The rotation of the first gear 14 will drive the third gear 16 to rotate through the second gear 15. The rotation of the third gear 16 will drive the reciprocating lead screw 5 to rotate. The rotation of the reciprocating lead screw 5 will drive the adjusting block 7 to move up and down on the reciprocating lead screw 5. In this way, the height of the lamp cover 13 and the supplementary light 1 can be moved by the adjusting block 7 and the connecting rod 12, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the lamp cover 13 and the supplementary light 1. This not only makes it convenient to replace the supplementary light 1, but also allows the height of the supplementary light 1 to be changed in real time according to the growth of the plant.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4One side of the adjusting block 7 is provided with an orientation adjusting component 8, which includes a disc 9, a movable groove 10, and a movable block 11. The disc 9 is fixed on the adjusting block 7, the movable groove 10 is formed on the adjusting block 7 and the disc 9, and the movable block 11 moves inside the movable groove 10. The orientation adjusting component 8 also includes positioning tooth grooves 18, which are in several groups. The movable grooves 10 are formed on the disc 9 and the adjusting block 7 and are annular in design, so the several positioning tooth grooves 18 are also annular. A positioning toothed groove 18 is formed inside the movable groove 10, located on the inner wall of the movable block 11. A limiting groove 19 is formed on the side of the movable block 11 away from the connecting rod 12. A spring 20 and a directional locking block 21 are respectively movably mounted inside the limiting groove 19. One end of the spring 20 is connected to the side of the inner wall of the limiting groove 19 away from the movable groove 10, and the other end of the spring 20 is movably mounted on the directional locking block 21. One end of the directional locking block 21 passes through the limiting groove 19 and extends into the positioning toothed groove 18. When the 18-clamp engagement and orientation adjustment component 8 are operated, first push the lampshade 13 and the supplementary light 1 to rotate them horizontally. The rotation of the lampshade 13 and the supplementary light 1 drives the movable block 11 to move along the movable groove 10 inside the movable groove 10 via the connecting rod 12. When the movable block 11 moves, the orientation locking block 21 is squeezed and retracted into the limiting groove 19 by the positioning tooth groove 18, allowing the movable block 11 to move freely under the push. The movable sleeve moves along the movable groove 10 inside the movable groove 10 around the reciprocating wire. The axis of rod 5 rotates. When the movable block 11 rotates to the appropriate position, the azimuth locking block 21 engages with the positioning tooth groove 18 at the corresponding position under the elastic force of the spring member 20. This locks the position of the movable block 11, and then locks the positions of the connecting rod 12, lamp cover 13 and supplementary light 1 through the movable block 11, so that they remain stable without being pushed by force. In this way, the horizontal orientation of the lamp cover 13 and supplementary light 1 can be changed, and the orientation of the supplementary light 1 can be adjusted.

[0028] Example 3

[0029] refer to Figure 2The movable block 11 has a connecting rod 12 on its side. The connecting rod 12 includes a fixed cylinder 22 and a telescopic rod 23. The fixed cylinder 22 is fixed to the side of the movable block 11. A locking bolt 24 is provided on the surface of the fixed cylinder 22 away from the movable block 11. One end of the locking bolt 24 passes through the fixed cylinder 22 and fits against the surface of the telescopic rod 23. The other end of the connecting rod 12 is provided with a downward-facing lampshade 13. The supplementary light 1 is installed inside the lampshade 13, so that the downward-facing light from the supplementary light 1 can cover... To extend the coverage area, during operation, loosen the locking bolt 24 and then move the telescopic rod 23 to extend it out of the fixed cylinder 22. This allows adjustment of the length of the connecting rod 12, thereby increasing the distance between the lampshade 13 and the fill light 1 and the reciprocating screw 5. This also increases the adjustment range of the fill light 1. If the fill light 1 needs to be moved closer, simply reverse the above operation. It should be noted that after the connecting rod 12 is adjusted, the locking bolt 24 needs to be rotated to fix the position of the telescopic rod 23.

[0030] Example 4

[0031] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5The lampshade 13 has an air hole 25 on its top. Inside the lampshade 13, above the supplementary light 1, is a fan translation assembly 26. A cooling fan 27 is mounted on the fan translation assembly 26. The fan translation assembly 26 includes a reciprocating screw 28, a second guide rod 29, and a drive motor 30. The drive motor 30 is mounted on the inner wall of the lampshade 13. The second guide rod 29 is fixed inside the lampshade 13, and the reciprocating screw 28 is rotatably connected inside the lampshade 13. A transmission gear 31 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the reciprocating screw 28. A power gear 32 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the drive motor 30, and the power gear 32 meshes with the transmission gear 31. An adjusting plate 33 is movably sleeved on the surfaces of the second guide rod 29 and the reciprocating screw 28. A through groove 34 is provided on the adjusting plate 33. The cooling fan 27 is fixed on the adjusting plate 33 at a position corresponding to the through groove 34. A guide rod is provided on the side of the cooling fan 27 closest to the supplementary light 1. The airflow deflector 35 guides the airflow driven by the cooling fan 27. When operating in this position, the drive motor 30 and the cooling fan 27 need to be started. The drive motor 30 and the cooling fan 27 are powered by the same power supply as the fill light 1, both through the municipal power supply system. After the drive motor 30 starts, it drives the reciprocating screw 28 to rotate through the power gear 32 and the transmission gear 31. The rotation of the reciprocating screw 28 drives the adjusting plate 33 to move back and forth along the reciprocating screw 28 inside the lamp cover 13. The reciprocating movement of the adjusting plate 33 drives the cooling fan 27 to move back and forth. The cooling fan 27 starts to deliver air, so that the airflow inside the lamp cover 13 enters from below the fill light 1 and is discharged from the air hole 25 on the lamp cover 13. Since hot air rises when heated, the heat on the fill light 1 can be discharged more quickly. The cooling fan 27 is driven by the adjusting plate 33 to move back and forth, covering the entire fill light 1, so that it can effectively dissipate heat from the fill light 1 without dead angles.
