Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chili pepper planting technology, and in particular relates to a chili pepper planting rack. Background Technology

[0002] Chili peppers are the fruit of the chili pepper plant, belonging to the nightshade family. They are an important vegetable and condiment; the seed oil is edible, and the fruit has anthelmintic and diaphoretic medicinal effects. They are used to warm the middle burner, dispel cold, regulate qi, and aid digestion. They are primarily used to treat stomach cold and qi stagnation, abdominal distension and pain, vomiting, diarrhea, rheumatic pain, and frostbite.

[0003] The existing chili planting racks are prone to missing chili peppers during harvesting after they mature because the chili plants are quite dense and the chili peppers grow inside the plants. In addition, the harvesting efficiency is low because the plant branches block the harvest.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a chili pepper planting rack to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem in the prior art where plant branches block the harvest, thus providing a chili pepper planting frame.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A chili pepper planting rack includes a base, on the top surface of which a plurality of rotating disks are rotatably disposed, and inside the base is a first driving component that drives the plurality of rotating disks to rotate synchronously.

[0008] The base is detachably and fixedly connected to two side plates. The top surfaces of the two side plates are fixedly connected to a top plate. The top plate has a cavity inside. A U-shaped mounting plate is slidably installed in the cavity. A second drive assembly for driving the mounting plate to move is fixedly installed on one side of the cavity. A lead screw is rotatably arranged between the two sides of the mounting plate. Multiple moving blocks are threaded on the lead screw, and one rotating disk corresponds to two moving blocks. A lever is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the moving block. An opening is provided through the bottom surface of the cavity for the lever to pass through and move.

[0009] Preferably, the first drive assembly includes a plurality of gears rotatably disposed inside the base, and the gears correspond one-to-one with the rotating disk and are coaxially arranged, with adjacent gears meshing with each other, and a power assembly for driving one of the gears to rotate is fixedly installed on one side of the base.

[0010] Preferably, a limiting plate is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base, and the limiting plate is provided with multiple limiting holes that cooperate with the rotating disk.

[0011] Preferably, the lead screw is a reciprocating lead screw, and the threads in the two moving blocks corresponding to one rotating disk are reversed.

[0012] Preferably, the cavity has through-holes on both sides, and the mounting plate extends into the two through-holes respectively.

[0013] Preferably, one end of the lead screw is coaxially fixedly connected to a rotating shaft passing through the moving groove, and the end of the rotating shaft located on the outside of the top plate is fixedly connected to a handle.

[0014] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: This chili planting rack, through the second drive component driving the mounting plate to move, the lead screw and moving block move accordingly, thereby realizing the lever to move the two sides of the plant, thus revealing the inside of the plant.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-3A chili pepper planting rack includes a base 1, with multiple rotating disks 2 rotatably arranged on the top surface of the base 1, and a first drive component inside the base 1 that drives the multiple rotating disks 2 to rotate synchronously.

[0023] The base 1 has detachable and fixed side plates 3 on both sides. The top surfaces of the two side plates 3 are fixedly connected to a top plate 4. The top plate 4 has a cavity 5 inside. A U-shaped mounting plate 6 is slidably installed in the cavity 5. A second drive assembly 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the cavity 5 to drive the mounting plate 6 to move. The second drive assembly 7 can use an electric actuator. The electric actuator fixedly installed on one side of the cavity 5 drives the mounting plate 6 to slide inside the cavity 5. Since electric actuators are existing technology and relatively common, they will not be described in detail. A lead screw 8 is rotatably installed between the two sides of the mounting plate 6. Multiple moving blocks 9 are threaded on the lead screw 8, and one rotating disk 2 corresponds to two moving blocks 9. A lever 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the moving block 9. An opening 11 is opened through the bottom surface of the cavity 5 for the lever 10 to pass through and move.

[0024] Reference Figure 1-3 This chili planting rack allows multiple chili plant cultivation pots to be placed on rotating plate 2 during the chili planting process, so that they can be cultivated and planted.

[0025] When the chili peppers are ripe and ready for harvest, the two side plates 3 on the bottom of the top plate 4 are fixed to both sides of the base 1 with bolts. After completion, depending on the growth of the chili peppers, the lead screw 8 is rotated, and the moving block 9 moves accordingly until the lever 10 moves to the appropriate position. At this time, the second drive assembly 7 drives the mounting plate 6 to move, and the lever 10 moves accordingly. The two levers 10 push the two sides of the chili pepper plant backward, revealing the ripe chili pepper fruits inside the plant, making them easier to harvest. After harvesting, the second drive assembly 7 drives the mounting plate 6 to reset, and the first drive assembly drives the rotating disk 2 to rotate, causing the chili pepper plant to rotate until the unharvested side is in front of the worker. Then, the first drive assembly is turned off and the second drive assembly 7 is turned on. The above operation is repeated to harvest the chili pepper fruits.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 The first drive assembly includes multiple gears 12 rotatably mounted inside the base 1. Each gear 12 corresponds to and is coaxially arranged with the rotating disk 2, and adjacent gears 12 mesh with each other. A power assembly 13 that drives one of the gears 12 to rotate is fixedly installed on one side of the base 1. The power assembly 13 can be a motor. Since motors are existing technology and relatively common, they will not be described in detail. By driving one gear 12 to rotate with the motor, all meshing gears 12 will rotate accordingly. In addition, since adjacent gears 12 rotate synchronously in opposite directions, the problem of branches colliding with each other that may occur when adjacent pepper plants rotate in the same direction is avoided, thus improving practicality.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-3 A limiting plate 14 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 1, and the limiting plate 14 has multiple limiting holes 15 that cooperate with the rotating disk 2. By using the limiting plate 14 and the limiting holes 15, the plant cultivation pot is placed in the limiting holes 15, thereby avoiding the problem of the plant cultivation pot being moved horizontally by external force and detaching from the rotating disk 2 during use, and improving the placement stability.

[0028] Reference Figure 3-4 The lead screw 8 is a reciprocating lead screw, and the threads in the two moving blocks 9 corresponding to one rotating disk 2 are reversed. This is so that when the lead screw 8 rotates, the two moving blocks 9 corresponding to one rotating disk 2 move in opposite directions, thereby adjusting the distance between the two levers 10, which makes it easier to move chili plants of different sizes.

[0029] Reference Figure 1-3 The cavity 5 has two through-holes on both sides of the cavity 5. The mounting plate 6 extends into the two through-holes 16 on both sides. The movement of the mounting plate 6 is limited by the through-holes 16, thereby improving the stability of the mounting plate 6 when it moves.

[0030] One end of the lead screw 8 is coaxially fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 17 that passes through the moving slot 16. The end of the rotating shaft 17 located on the outside of the top plate 4 is fixedly connected to a handle 18. By cooperating with the handle 18, the handle 18 can be manually rotated through the rotating shaft 17, which in turn drives the lead screw 8 to rotate, thus facilitating the adjustment of the distance between the two levers 10. This is convenient and low in cost.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
