[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 The technical solution of this utility model will be further explained below:
[0026] Example 1: As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a modular planting cabin includes a planting cabin body 1. Top side plates 2 are symmetrically installed on the top of the side plates of the planting cabin body 1. Baffles 3 are symmetrically installed on the top of the bottom plate of the planting cabin body 1. Support screws 4 are symmetrically and movably installed on the inner bottom wall of the planting cabin body 1, and the support screws 4 penetrate through the top of the top side plates 2. Adjustment components are provided inside the planting cabin body 1 and on the top of the support screws 4. The adjustment components are used to adjust the height of the crops in the cabin to adapt to the light and growth space of different crops. The adjustment components include guide rods 5, sliding plates 6, and rotating handles 7. Guide rods 5 are symmetrically installed on the bottom plate of the planting cabin body 1, and the top of the guide rods 5 are connected to the bottom of the top side plates 2. The guide rods 5 are located on both sides of the support screws 4. Sliding plates 6 are movably connected to the outer sides of the support screws 4 and guide rods 5, and the sliding plates 6 are slidably connected to the guide rods 5. A rotating handle 7 is installed on the top of the support screws 4. The main body 1 of the planting cabin provides installation positions for the top and side panels 2 and the baffle 3. The main body 1 and the top and side panels 2 provide installation positions for the support screw 4. The main body 1 and the support screw 4 provide installation positions for the adjustment components. The main body 1 of the planting cabin provides installation positions for the guide rod 5. The support screw 4 provides installation positions for the sliding plate 6, and the sliding connection between the guide rod 5 and the sliding plate 6 restricts the movement of the sliding plate 6. The support screw 4 provides installation positions for the rotating handle 7, which facilitates the rotation of the support screw 4. According to the crop's light and growth space requirements, the operator can rotate the rotating handle 7 to drive the installation screw 8 to rotate. The rotation of the installation screw 8 allows the sliding plate 6 to move up and down inside the main body 1 of the planting cabin under the guidance of the guide rod 5, thereby moving the plate on which the crop is planted up and down, adjusting the height of the plate on which the crop is planted in the planting cabin. This allows the planting cabin to adapt to the light and space requirements of different crops, improving the applicability of the planting cabin.
[0027] The sliding plate 6 has a threaded hole at its center, through which the support screw 4 passes and forms a threaded engagement with the sliding plate 6. A rotating handle 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the support screw 4. Rotating the handle 7 drives the support screw 4 to rotate around its own axis. Under the action of the threaded engagement, the sliding plate 6 moves up and down along the guide rod 5, thereby adjusting the height of the planting plate 12. The guide rods 5 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the support screw 4 to restrict the rotational freedom of the sliding plate 6, ensuring that it rises and falls smoothly only in the vertical direction.
[0028] Linear bearings are provided at both ends of the sliding plate 6. The inner ring of the linear bearing is clearance-fitted with the guide rod 5, and the outer ring is fixed in the mounting hole of the sliding plate 6. The lubrication groove of the linear bearing is filled with wear-resistant grease to reduce sliding friction. The surface of the guide rod 5 is hardened to a hardness of not less than HRC50 to ensure no wear or deformation during long-term use.
[0029] Example 2: Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a mounting screw 8 is installed on the top of the sliding plate 6. A fixing plate 9 is movably installed on the top of the sliding plate 6 via the mounting screw 8. Insertion holes 10 are evenly distributed through the top of the fixing plate 9. The mounting screw 8 is located inside the insertion hole 10. A fastening nut 11 is installed on the outside of the mounting screw 8, and the bottom of the fastening nut 11 is tightly connected to the fixing plate 9. Planting plates 12 are connected to the opposite inner surfaces of the two sets of fixing plates 9. Planting pots 13 are evenly distributed through the top of the planting plate 12, and an overflow outlet is distributed through the bottom of the planting pot 13. The sliding plate 6 provides an installation position for the mounting screw 8 and provides support for the fixing plate 9. The fixing plate 9 provides an installation position for the insertion hole 10, which provides a through-hole position for the mounting screw 8. The mounting screw 8 provides an installation position for the fastening nut 11. The fastening nut 11 and the mounting screw 8 cooperate to fix the fixing plate 9 to the sliding plate 6. The fixing plate 9 provides an installation position for the planting plate 12. The planting plate 12 provides an opening position for the planting pot 13. The planting pot 13 provides an opening position for the overflow outlet. The overflow outlet penetrating the bottom of the planting pot 13 allows excess water in the crop soil to drain. This modular planting cabin enables the modular installation of the planting cabin body 1 and the planting plate 12, making the planting cabin body... 1. The planting board 12 is adaptable to planting pots 13 of different sizes. When connecting the planting board 12 and the main body 1 of the planting chamber, the insertion hole 10 of the fixing plate 9 corresponds to the mounting screw 8 on the sliding plate 6, so that the mounting screw 8 passes through the insertion hole 10, and then the fastening nut 11 is rotated to the outside of the mounting screw 8 to fix the fixing plate 9 and the sliding plate 6 to the outside, thereby realizing the installation of the planting board 12. When disassembling the planting board 12, the fastening nut 11 is unscrewed from the mounting screw 8 to separate it, and then the planting board 12 can be pulled up to complete the disassembly of the planting board 12. Through the modular installation of the planting board 12 and the main body 1 of the planting chamber, the main body 1 of the planting chamber can be adapted to planting boards 12 of planting pots 13 of different sizes.
[0030] The inner side of the fixing plate 9 is provided with an L-shaped groove. The two ends of the planting plate 12 are embedded in the groove and locked with bolts. The depth of the groove is 1.5 times the thickness of the planting plate 12, and the preload of the bolts is 5-8 N·m to ensure that the planting plate 12 does not loosen when bearing crops. The insertion hole 10 of the fixing plate 9 is an oblong hole, which allows the planting plate 12 to be finely adjusted in the horizontal direction to accommodate planting pots 13 of different sizes.
[0031] The overflow outlet has a diameter of 3-5mm, and a nylon filter screen (0.5mm mesh size) is embedded in the hole. The filter screen is fixed to the bottom of the planting pot 13 by heat fusion. The overflow outlets are distributed in an array, with no less than 4 per pot, and the tilt angle is 10°, which facilitates the concentrated flow of water to the collection box 16.
[0032] Example 3: Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, a through groove 14 is provided on the front of the rear baffle 3. A limiting groove 15 is symmetrically provided on the top of the bottom plate of the planting chamber body 1, and the limiting groove 15 is connected to the through groove 14. A collection box 16 is installed on the back of the planting chamber body 1 through the through groove 14. A limiting block 17 is symmetrically installed on the bottom of the collection box 16, and the limiting block 17 is slidably connected to the limiting groove 15. A back panel 18 is connected to the back of the collection box 16 and the limiting block 17. A first magnetic strip 19 is symmetrically installed on the back of the baffle 3, and the first magnetic strip 19 is located outside the through groove 14. A second magnetic strip 20 is symmetrically installed on the front of the back panel 18. The installation position of the second magnetic strip 20 corresponds to that of the first magnetic strip 19. The first magnetic strip 19 and the second magnetic strip 20 are attracted by magnetism. The baffle 3 provides an opening position for the through groove 14, and the planting chamber body 1 provides an opening position for the limiting slide groove 15. The through groove 14 allows the collection box 16 to enter the interior of the planting chamber body 1. The collection box 16 can collect the mud and water overflowing from the planting pots 13 on the planting plate 12. The collection box 16 provides an installation position for the limiting block 17. The sliding connection between the limiting block 17 and the limiting slide groove 15 restricts the position of the collection box 16 inside the planting chamber body 1. The collection box 16 and the limiting block 17 provide an installation position for the back panel 18. The baffle 3 provides an installation position for the first magnetic strip 19, and the back panel 18 provides an installation position for the second magnetic strip 20. The first magnetic strip 19 and the second magnetic strip 20 are positioned correspondingly and are magnetically attracted to each other, thereby fixing the collection box 16 inside the planting chamber body 1. When there is a lot of mud and water collected in the collection box 16, the operator can pull the back panel 18 outward to separate the first magnetic strip 19 and the second magnetic strip 20. The limiting block 17 slides outward along the limiting slide groove 15, and the collection box 16 moves outward through the through groove 14, thereby removing the collection box 16 from the inside of the planting chamber body 1 and processing it. When the processed collection box 16 is installed into the inside of the planting chamber body 1, the limiting block 17 is aligned with the limiting slide groove 15, so that the collection box 16 slides into the inside of the planting chamber body 1 through the through groove 14 until the limiting block 17 slides to the innermost side of the limiting slide groove 15. At this time, the second magnetic strip 20 on the back panel 18 and the first magnetic strip 19 on the baffle 3 are tightly attached under the action of magnetic attraction, thereby fixing the collection box 16. The magnetic force between the first magnetic strip 19 and the second magnetic strip 20 makes it easy for the collection box 16 to detach from the inside of the planting chamber body 1 and also makes it easy to install and fix the collection box 16 inside the planting chamber body 1, thereby facilitating the processing and cleaning of the collection box 16.
[0033] The limiting groove 15 has a T-shaped cross-section, and the limiting block 17 is a matching T-shaped slider with a gap of 0.1-0.3mm. A polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) wear-resistant liner is pasted on the inner wall of the groove. The sliding stroke of the limiting block 17 is consistent with the length of the through groove 14, ensuring that the collection box 16 can be fully pulled out or pushed in to its limit position. A limiting protrusion is provided at the end of the groove to prevent the limiting block 17 from dislodging.
[0034] The first magnetic strip 19 and the second magnetic strip 20 are neodymium iron boron permanent magnets with a magnetic energy product ≥35MGOe and an adsorption force of ≥10N for a single set of magnetic strips. The back panel 18 is also equipped with elastic buckles around its perimeter, with the hooks engaging with the grooves on the back of the baffle 3 to form a double fixation. The magnetic strip spacing is 50mm to ensure uniform distribution of the adsorption force.
[0035] Working principle: Before using the modular planting cabin, check for any issues that might affect its use. First, place the modular planting cabin in the desired location. When connecting the planting plate 12 and the main body 1, align the insertion hole 10 of the fixing plate 9 with the mounting screw 8 on the sliding plate 6, allowing the mounting screw 8 to pass through the insertion hole 10. Then, rotate the fastening nut 11 to engage with the mounting screw 8, thus fixing the fixing plate 9 and the sliding plate 6 together, thereby installing the planting plate 12. To disassemble the planting plate 12, separate the fastening nut 11 from the mounting screw 8, and pull the planting plate 12 upwards to complete its disassembly. The modular installation of the planting plate 12 and the main body 1 allows the main body 1 to be adapted to planting plates 12 in different sized planting pots 13.
[0036] According to the crop's light and growing space requirements, the staff can rotate the handle 7 to drive the installation screw 8 to rotate. The rotation of the installation screw 8 can cause the sliding plate 6 to move up and down inside the planting chamber body 1 under the guidance of the guide rod 5, thereby driving the planting plate to move up and down and adjusting the height of the planting plate in the planting chamber, so that the planting chamber can adapt to the light and space requirements of different crops.
[0037] Crops grow in planting pots 13 on planting board 12. If too much water is poured into planting pots 13, the excess water mixed with soil falls from the overflow outlet into the collection box 16. When there is a lot of mud and water collected in the collection box 16, the worker can pull the back panel 18 outward to separate the first magnetic strip 19 and the second magnetic strip 20. The limiting block 17 slides outward along the limiting groove 15, and the collection box 16 moves outward through the through groove 14, thereby removing the collection box 16 from the inside of the planting chamber body 1 and processing it. When the processed collection box 16 is installed into the inside of the planting chamber body 1, the limiting block 17 is aligned with the limiting groove 15, so that the collection box 16 slides into the inside of the planting chamber body 1 through the through groove 14 until the limiting block 17 slides to the innermost side of the limiting groove 15. At this time, the second magnetic strip 20 on the back panel 18 and the first magnetic strip 19 on the baffle 3 are tightly attached under the action of magnetic attraction, thereby fixing the collection box 16.
[0038] The pitch of the support screw 4 is 4mm. The planting plate 12 rises and falls by 4mm for each rotation of the rotating handle (7); the straightness error of the guide rod 5 is ≤0.1mm / m.
[0039] The sliding plate 6 is made of aluminum alloy 6061 with an anodized surface; the planting pot 13 is made of polypropylene with a wall thickness of 2mm and reinforcing ribs at the bottom.
[0040] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
