The basic principles of this application defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this application.

[0021] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of this application, the terms "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0022] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number.

[0023] refer to Figures 1 to 2 A preferred embodiment of the crop cultivation rack according to this application will be described in detail below. The crop cultivation rack is used in a light-exposed environment and includes a main frame 10, a transfer assembly 20, and a plurality of cultivation boxes 30. The cultivation boxes 30 are staggered around the outer periphery of the main frame 10, and each cultivation box 30 has a groove 301 formed on its top for cultivating crops. The transfer assembly 20 is configured to rotate the main frame 10 so that the cultivation boxes 30 rotate with the main frame 10.

[0024] Specifically, the power supply assembly 20 includes a drive unit 21 and a support platform 22, wherein the drive unit 21 is disposed on the support platform 22, and the main frame 10 is synchronously rotatably connected to the drive unit 21.

[0025] Those skilled in the art will understand that when the drive unit 21 is activated to drive the main frame 10 to rotate, the culture box 30 rotates along the axial direction of the main frame 10. Thus, when the lighting environment supplements light to the crop culture rack, the culture boxes 30, located at different positions on the same horizontal plane, can pass through the optimal light receiving position point one after another.

[0026] In other words, the culture boxes 30 located at different positions on the same horizontal plane can receive the same amount of light at the same light position for the same period of time, thereby enabling the crops to receive the same amount of light for the same period of time and the same intensity of light, thus maintaining consistent growth.

[0027] Preferably, the drive unit 21 includes a drive member 211 and a transmission member 212, wherein the drive member 211 is connected to the support platform 22. The drive member 211 is drivably connected to the transmission member 212, so that when the drive member 211 drives the transmission member 212, the main frame 10 is configured to rotate synchronously with the drive member 211 via the transmission member 212, thereby enabling the culture box 30 disposed on the main frame 10 to rotate with the main frame 10.

[0028] Specifically, in one example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the transmission component 212 includes a drive wheel 2121, a transmission member 2122, and a driven wheel 2123, wherein the drive wheel 2121 is synchronously rotatably connected to the drive member 211. The transmission member 2122 is rollably engaged with both the drive wheel 2121 and the driven wheel 2123 in a surrounding manner. The driven wheel 2123 is connected to the main frame 10, so that when the drive member 211 drives the drive wheel 2121 to rotate, the transmission member 2122 is driven to roll, thereby driving the driven wheel 2123, and causing the main frame 10 to rotate following the driven wheel 2123. It is worth mentioning that in this example, the drive member 211 is implemented as a drive motor, and the transmission member 2122 is implemented as a chain.

[0029] Specifically, in another example, the transmission member 212 is configured as a gear transmission device.

[0030] Preferably, the support platform 22 is disposed below the main frame 10, and the interior of the support platform 22 forms a receiving space 2201, and the drive component 211 is disposed in the receiving space 2201. Thus, compared to the drive component 211 being exposed, the method of disposing of the drive component 211 inside the support platform 22 not only reduces space occupation but also prevents external debris from entering the drive component 211 and causing operational difficulties.

[0031] Preferably, the support platform 22 is also provided with a shielding part 221 at the top. The shielding part 221 is provided to surround the transmission member 212, thereby preventing external debris from adhering to the transmission member 212 and causing the transmission member 212 to be disturbed in operation.

[0032] Furthermore, the power supply assembly 20 also includes a bearing 23, wherein the bearing 23 is connected to the support platform 22 and surrounded by the shielding part 221, and the driven wheel 2123 is connected to the inner ring of the bearing 23. Thus, the main frame 10 can be more easily driven to rotate by the power supply assembly 20.

[0033] Preferably, the main frame 10 extends radially outward to form the same number of mounting arms 11 as the culture box 30, and each mounting arm 11 is configured to form a limiting groove 1101 at its extended end to adapt to the size of one culture box 30, and one culture box 30 is configured to be detachably connected to the limiting groove 1101 of one mounting arm 11.

[0034] It is worth mentioning that, due to the limiting effect of the limiting groove 1101, the main frame 10 driven by the supply and transfer component 20 has difficulty throwing the culture box 30 off.

[0035] Correspondingly, the mounting arm 11 is staggered along the axial direction of the main frame 10.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the main frame 10 further includes a liquid storage space 101 and a plurality of outlets 102 communicating with the liquid storage space 101. The liquid storage space 101 is used to store a predetermined amount of culture solution for culturing crops. One of the outlets 102 is disposed facing the groove 301 of one of the culture boxes 30 for the flow of culture solution.

[0037] It is understood that culture medium is introduced into the storage space 101 and then introduced into the culture box 30 through the outlet 102.

[0038] Furthermore, the crop cultivation rack also includes multiple irrigation components 40 for introducing the culture solution stored inside the main frame 10 into the cultivation box 30 through the outlet 102 to supply the culture solution to the cultivated crop.

[0039] Specifically, one of the irrigation components 40 supplies culture medium to one of the culture boxes 30.

[0040] Preferably, specifically as follows Figure 3As shown, the irrigation component 40 includes a flow pipe 41 and a control element 42. One port of the flow pipe 41 is connected to an outlet 102 of the main frame 10, and the other port of the flow pipe 41 is connected to a groove 301 of the culture box 30. The control element 42 is connected to the flow pipe 41, and when the culture medium flows from the outlet 102 into the flow pipe 41, the control element 42 is configured to open and close the inlet of the culture medium to the groove 301.

[0041] Understandably, when it is necessary to irrigate the crops cultivated in the culture box 30, the user can open the inlet of the culture solution to the groove 301 by means of the control component 42, so that the culture solution in the storage space 101 can flow to the groove 301 through the flow tube 41 to irrigate the crops; and after the crops in the culture box 30 have been irrigated with a predetermined amount of culture solution, the user can also close the inlet of the culture solution to the groove 301 by means of the control component 42 to prevent the culture solution in the storage space 101 from continuing to flow into the groove 301.

[0042] Preferably, the control element 42 is implemented to include a solenoid valve.

[0043] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of this application described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the scope of this application. The advantages of this application have been fully and effectively implemented. The functional and structural principles of this application have been demonstrated and explained in the embodiments, and any variations or modifications can be made to the implementation of this application without departing from the stated principles.
