Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of planting rack technology, specifically an adjustable planting rack. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the improvement of people's quality of life and the increasing demand for green living, many families like to place potted plants and flowers at home to improve the spatial environment. The elderly also like to tend to flowers and plants at home. As a result, the number of modern intelligent green plant care platforms is constantly increasing. Most of the products on the market are "intelligent flower pots," which are mainly aimed at contemporary young people. They can help young people, especially working people, to take care of plants when they are not at home. However, they are not products designed for the planting habits of the elderly.

[0003] Existing products aim to minimize the planting process, but since the elderly often grow flowers and plants to pass the time, current planting products are not suitable for them. Because many elderly people often experience knee and back pain, it is difficult for them to perform operations such as watering and fertilizing the flower pots on the planting rack using existing technology. Therefore, an adjustable planting rack is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable planting rack to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that it is difficult for the elderly to water and fertilize the flower pots on the planting rack.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0027] An adjustable planting rack includes symmetrically arranged fixed frames 1. Turntables 2 are rotatably connected to the sides of the two fixed frames 1 that are close to each other. Connecting frames 3 are rotatably connected to the sides of the two turntables 2 that are close to each other. A flowerpot 4 is fixedly connected between the two connecting frames 3. A through hole 5 is vertically penetrating the center of the bottom of the flowerpot 4. A fixed frame 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the flowerpot 4. A receiving plate 7 is slidably connected to the inside of the fixed frame 6. A handle 8 is fixedly connected to the front of the receiving plate 7. A positioning component 9 is installed above the handle 8 and mounted on the front of the flowerpot 4. A rotating motor 10 is fixedly connected to one side of one of the fixed frames 1. A control button 11 electrically connected to the rotating motor 10 is installed on the outside of the rotating motor 10. The two turntables 2 are fixedly connected by a shaft. The bottom edge of the flowerpot 4 is vertically aligned with the top edge of the fixed frame 6. The output shaft of the rotating motor 10 passes through the fixed frame 1 and is rotatably connected to it. The output shaft of the rotating motor 10 is connected to one of the fixed frames 1. The turntable 2 is fixedly connected, and the positioning component 9 includes a magnet 91 fixedly connected to the front side of the flowerpot 4. Below the magnet 91, there is a magnetic frame 92 fixedly connected to the front side of the flowerpot 4. A card frame 93 is slidably connected to the inner side of the magnetic frame 92. A connecting iron plate 94 is fixedly connected to the top of the card frame 93. The card frame 93 is snapped onto the outside of the handle 8. The connecting iron plate 94 is magnetically connected to the top of the magnetic frame 92. Through the turntable 2, connecting frame 3, flowerpot 4, through hole 5, fixed frame 6, receiving plate 7, handle 8, positioning component 9, rotating motor 10, and control button 11, when watering and fertilizing are needed, the rotating motor 10 can be started to rotate the turntable 2 and the connecting frame 3. When the flowerpot 4 that needs watering moves to the top, the rotating motor 10 can be turned off and the flowerpot 4 can be watered. When watering, excess water can flow into the receiving plate 7 below through the through hole 5. This design makes it convenient for the elderly to water and fertilize the flowerpot 4 without having to squat down, making it more convenient for the elderly to use.

[0028] A battery 12 is located below the turntable 2. Multiple casters 13 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the battery 12. Solar panels 14 are symmetrically arranged and rotatably connected to the edges of the two fixed frames 1 on opposite sides. A connecting rod 15 is fixedly connected between the two solar panels 14. The battery 12 is fixedly connected between the two fixed frames 1. The solar panels 14 and the rotating motor 10 are electrically connected to the battery 12. After watering, the fixed frame 1 can be pushed to rotate the casters 13, moving the flowerpot 4 to the sunny area. At this time, the solar panels 14 at the top and bottom of the connecting rod 15 can be rotated to face the sun. The solar panels 14 convert light energy into heat energy and store it inside the battery 12, thereby effectively saving the electrical energy used by the rotating motor 10 and reducing planting costs.

[0029] Workflow: Before using the device, charge the battery 12 and connect the device to the external controller. First, install the various components of the device. Move the connecting iron plate 94 to slide the clip 93 inside the magnetic frame 92 until the connecting iron plate 94 is magnetically connected to the bottom of the magnet 91. Then, pick up the handle 8 and insert the receiving plate 7 into the fixing frame 6 at the bottom of the flowerpot 4. Move the connecting iron plate 94 to move the clip 93 downward until the connecting iron plate 94 is magnetically connected to the top of the magnetic frame 92. The clip 93 is then engaged on the outside of the handle 8, thus completing the installation of the various components of the device. When the elderly need to water or fertilize vegetables or flowers, they can start the rotating motor 10 on one side of the fixing frame 1 through the control button 11. The battery 12 supplies power to the rotating motor 10. The output shaft of the rotating motor 10 rotates, driving the turntable 2 to rotate. At this time, because the flowerpot 4 is relatively heavy, the connecting frame 3 rotates simultaneously with the turntable 2. The mechanism ensures that the opening of the flowerpot 4 always faces upwards. When the flowerpot 4 that needs watering is moved to the top, the rotating motor 10 can be turned off by the control button 11, and the flowerpot 4 can be watered. When watering, excess water can flow into the receiving tray 7 below through the through hole 5. The receiving tray 7 below can be opened by the positioning component 9 to clean up the water accumulated in the receiving tray 7. The design of the positioning component 9 and its connecting components makes it convenient for the elderly to water and fertilize the flowerpot 4 without having to squat down, making it more convenient for the elderly to use. After watering, the fixing frame 1 can be pushed to rotate the universal wheel 13, so that the flowerpot 4 can be moved to a sunny area. At this time, the solar panels 14 at the upper and lower ends of the connecting rod 15 can be rotated so that the solar panels 14 face the sun. The solar panels 14 convert light energy into heat energy and store it inside the battery 12, thereby effectively saving the power used by the rotating motor 10 and reducing planting costs.
