Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of planting device technology, and in particular to a tower-type rotating multi-layer planting device. Background Technology

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the scarcity of arable land, vertical farming technology has become an important direction for the development of modern agriculture due to its high space utilization efficiency. Existing multi-layer planting equipment mostly adopts a fixed shelf structure and relies on manual or robotic arms for crop management. Although this increases planting density to some extent, technical bottlenecks still exist in areas such as dynamic light optimization, rapid maintenance of planting units, and precise supply of nutrient solutions.

[0003] Currently, most existing tower-type planting devices use rigidly connected planting trays, making the assembly and disassembly of planting units cumbersome, requiring machine shutdown and easily damaging crop roots. Traditional culture boxes are mostly fixed with bolts or clips, requiring each one to be aligned and tightened during replacement, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. At the same time, fixed nutrient solution supply systems also struggle to achieve uniform distribution among planting units, often resulting in an excess of nutrient solution in the upper layers and an insufficient supply in the lower layers.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a tower-type rotating multi-layer planting device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

The bottom of the inner wall of the installation groove has positioning holes for inserting and fixing the positioning block. Handles are symmetrically fixed at both ends of the upper surface of the culture box, each handle containing a vertically movable handle to drive the horizontal retraction of the positioning block.

[0008] Optionally, a working platform is provided at one end of the frame, and a servo motor is provided at the other end. The servo motor is connected to one of the drive wheels to form a driving engagement.

[0009] Optionally, a lower end of the handle is fixed with a pull rod vertically extending into the culture box, a lower end of the pull rod is fixed with a sliding block, and the sliding block moves up and down in the culture box.

[0010] Optionally, the positioning block is hinged with a connecting rod at one end of the culture box, and the connecting rod is hinged with the sliding block.

[0011] Optionally, a spring is sleeved on the pull rod, the spring is fixed in the culture box, and the sliding block is elastically abutted downward to keep the even positioning block horizontally extending outside the bottom of the culture box.

[0012] Optionally, a plurality of planting grooves are formed in the culture box, a mesh plate is arranged at the bottom of the planting groove, a culture groove is formed in the middle of the culture box, and a cavity for containing nutrient solution is arranged at the bottom of the culture box, and the cavity is communicated with the bottom of all the planting grooves and the culture groove.

[0013] Optionally, the upper end surface of the hanging basket type planting disc is symmetrically fixed with a connecting plate at both ends, and the top end of the connecting plate is rotationally connected with the chain.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0015] In the above scheme, thanks to the cooperation of the rack, the driving wheel, the chain and the hanging basket type planting disc, a plurality of hanging basket type planting discs can be circulated, which can ensure uniform illumination, can improve the planting density per unit area in a limited space, and can facilitate the operation of all hanging basket type planting discs through the operation platform.

[0016] In the above scheme, thanks to the cooperation of the culture box and the positioning block, the positioning block can be controlled to retract into the bottom of the culture box through the handle in the upper pull handle, so that the culture box can be easily taken out of the mounting groove, and thanks to the cooperation of the planting groove and the culture groove, nutrient solution can be added to the bottom of all planting grooves through the culture groove.

[0017] In summary, the device can optimize the space planting efficiency, facilitate the planting care in the later period, and has good overall use effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
