[0002] Vertical vegetable growing racks are a type of vertical planting structure, usually set up in the form of multi-layer racks or towers. By planting through multiple layers, they maximize the use of limited space and are especially suitable for small balconies, rooftops, indoor spaces, or urban communities.

[0003] A search revealed a three-dimensional vegetable planting rack disclosed in patent application publication number CN221948824U, comprising a support frame, planting troughs, water pipes, and supplemental lighting. Several supports are arranged sequentially, with a top frame connected to the top support frame. Several fixing holes (first type) are evenly distributed on the upper side wall of the support frame, and matching fixing holes (second type) are provided on the lower end of the support frame and the side wall of the top frame. Adjacent supports and the top frame are bolted together. The planting troughs are symmetrically fixed to the side wall of the support frame via connecting rods, with brackets connected to the ends of the connecting rods. Supplemental lighting is fixedly connected below the brackets. Water pipes are arranged on all four sides of the support frame, with several branch pipes connected to each water pipe. The other end of each branch pipe passes through the side wall of the planting trough and is connected to several irrigation pipes. A water pump is connected to each branch pipe.

[0004] While this tower-style vegetable growing rack can improve space utilization and make it convenient for users to harvest vegetables, when the irrigation pipes are used for watering, a mixture of mud and water easily flows out from the bottom of the growing rack. When used indoors, the mud and soil mixture brought out by the irrigation water is inconvenient to clean and will cause the soil to be lost quickly. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a three-dimensional vegetable planting rack. By setting up a bracket with movable partitions inside for placing vegetable pots, the mud-water mixture generated when watering the vegetable pots can be discharged through guide frames at both ends of the bracket by manually moving the scraper inside the bracket. Users can collect and settle the mud-water for watering, and the soil can be reintroduced into the vegetable pots, thus solving the problem of inconvenient cleaning of the mud-water mixture brought out by the irrigation water and the problem of rapid soil loss.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a three-dimensional vegetable planting rack, including a support frame, a bracket welded to one side of the support frame, a support plate for supporting vegetable pots and a flow guiding structure for recycling the mud-water mixture flowing out from the bottom of the vegetable pots;

[0007] The flow guiding structure includes a scraper that scrapes the mud-water mixture at the bottom of the bracket and a guide structure that guides the horizontal movement of the scraper. Both ends of the bracket are connected to a flow guide frame for the cement mixture to flow out of the bracket.

[0008] Preferably, the guide structure includes a long strip plate, which is welded to both sides of the inner cavity of the bracket. A guide plate is fixed to the bottom of one side of the long strip plate by screws. The guide plate is L-shaped. Guide grooves are provided on both sides of the top of the scraper for the horizontal end of the guide plate to be inserted. The two sides of the top of the scraper are slidably connected in the guide grooves.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a three-dimensional vegetable planting rack, including a support 1, a bracket 2 welded to one side of the support 1, a support plate 3 for supporting the vegetable pot and a flow guiding structure 4 for recycling the mud and water mixture flowing out from the bottom of the vegetable pot;

[0026] The flow guiding structure 4 includes a scraper 401 that scrapes the mud-water mixture at the bottom of the bracket 2 and a guide structure 402 that guides the horizontal movement of the scraper 401. Both ends of the bracket 2 are connected to a flow guide frame 403 for the cement mixture to flow out of the bracket 2.

[0027] The guide structure 402 includes a long strip plate 4021, which is welded to both sides of the inner cavity of the bracket 2. A guide plate 4022 is fixed to the bottom of one side of the long strip plate 4021 by screws. The guide plate 4022 is L-shaped. Guide grooves 4023 are provided on both sides of the top of the scraper 401 for the horizontal end of the guide plate 4022 to be inserted. The two sides of the top of the scraper 401 are slidably connected in the guide grooves 4023.

[0028] The flow guiding structure 4 achieves mud and water collection and guidance through the reciprocating motion of the scraper 401. When the user pushes the push rod 4014, the sliding engagement between the guide plate 4022 and the guide groove 4023 causes the scraper 401 to move smoothly along the bottom of the bracket 2.

[0029] The scraper 401 includes a top connecting part 4011 and a bottom scraping part 4012. The bottom scraping part 4012 is fixed with a rubber brush plate 4013. A push rod 4014 is fixed on one side of the scraper 401 to facilitate pushing the scraper 401. The push rod 4014 passes through one end of the bracket 2 and is slidably connected to the bracket 2.

[0030] The flexible contact characteristics of the rubber brush 4013 can effectively scrape off the deposited mud and reduce the wear on the surface of the bracket 2.

[0031] The flow guide 403 includes a main flow section 4031 and a diversion section 4032. The flow guide 403 is inclined relative to the ground. Both ends of the bracket 2 are provided with through grooves 4033 for the mud-water mixture to flow out. The cross-sections of the main flow section 4031 and the diversion section 4032 are both U-shaped. One end of the inner cavity of the diversion section 4032 is connected to the through groove 4033, and the other end of the inner cavity of the diversion section 4032 is connected to the main flow section 4031.

[0032] The scraped mud-water mixture enters the guide frame 403 through the through grooves 4033 at both ends of the bracket 2. The guide frame 403 is set with an inclination angle of 15-20° to achieve gravity flow. The U-shaped cross section of the diversion section 4032 guides the mud-water to converge into the main stream section 4031, and finally discharges into the collection container.

[0033] Both the diversion section 4032 and the bracket 2 are provided in several units, and each bracket 2 is provided with a diversion section 4032 at both ends.

[0034] The support plate 3 includes a mesh 301 that supports the bottom of the vegetable pot and end plates 302 fixed at both ends of the mesh 301. The two end plates 302 are respectively placed above the long strips 4021 on both sides of the inner cavity of the same bracket 2.

[0035] Mesh panel 301 uses 304 stainless steel wire mesh to form the load-bearing surface, which can support the planting pot while facilitating the drainage of water from the vegetable planting pot.

[0036] The support 1 includes a vertical pole 101 and diagonal bracing rods 102 welded to both sides of the vertical pole 101. The bracket 2 is welded to the outer wall of the diagonal bracing rods 102. The vertical pole 101 is arranged in a gate shape. A support rod 103 is welded to the bottom end of the vertical pole 101. The support rod 103 is orthogonal to the vertical pole 101.

[0037] The portal-shaped upright 101 and the diagonal brace 102 form a triangular support, which, together with the bottom orthogonal support rod 103, enhances the overall stability and can be adapted to various scenarios such as balconies and roofs.

[0038] In use, when the user irrigates the vegetable pots, the mud-water mixture carried by the water flows out from the bottom of the mesh 301 and into the bracket 2. By manually pushing the push rod 4014, the scraper 401 moves left and right, causing the mud-water mixture to flow out through the channels 4033 at both ends of the bracket 2, and then through the diversion section 4032 into the main flow section 4031. The mud-water mixture in the multi-layer bracket 2 mixes in the main flow section 4031 and flows out from the bottom of the main flow section 4031 under the action of gravity. The collected mud-water mixture can be reused for irrigation, returning to the vegetable planting pots, improving water utilization, reducing soil loss, and facilitating unified cleaning, making it especially suitable for indoor vegetable planting.

[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
