Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of greening and planting technology, and in particular to a vertical planting device for urban greening. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of urban greening, vertical planting, as a highly efficient way to utilize space, is receiving increasing attention.

[0003] Traditional vertical planting systems for urban greening have revealed numerous problems in practical use and maintenance. On the one hand, the planting units are relatively fixed in position. When maintenance, plant replacement, or irrigation is required on higher planting units, operators often need to use climbing equipment to work at height. This is not only inconvenient and wasteful of manpower and resources, but also greatly increases safety risks. In the event of an accident, it may cause serious injury to the operators. On the other hand, when a planting unit is descending, if it encounters an obstruction from a lower planting unit, it cannot be flexibly adjusted to avoid it, often resulting in the planting unit failing to descend smoothly to the expected position, seriously affecting the progress and efficiency of maintenance work.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a vertical planting device for urban greening. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a vertical planting device for urban greening. In order to prevent the inconvenience, high manpower and material costs, and high safety risks caused by the need to use climbing equipment when maintaining, replacing plants or irrigating planting units at high altitudes, and to prevent the planting unit from encountering obstacles from planting units below during descent, which would prevent it from descending smoothly to the expected position and affect the maintenance work and efficiency, this utility model aims to improve the ease of use of the vertical planting device for urban greening, reduce maintenance costs, improve maintenance safety and work efficiency, and effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A vertical planting device for urban greening includes a support frame. Lifting mechanisms are installed at both ends of the upper surface of the support frame. Moving mechanisms, controlled by the lifting mechanisms, are installed at both sides of the upper front of the support frame. Each moving mechanism includes a slide perpendicular to the support frame. A groove is formed inside the slide, and a lead screw is rotatably connected within the groove. One end of the lead screw is fixedly connected to a driven bevel gear. A second motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the slide. The output end of the second motor extends into the groove and is fixedly connected to a driving bevel gear, which meshes with the driven bevel gear. Reinforcing ribs are provided at the bottom of the slide.

[0008] Both lead screws are threaded to the outside of a slider, and the slider is slidably connected to the groove. A first crossbar is fixedly connected between the two sliders. Multiple first connecting plates are welded to the first crossbar and are arranged at equal intervals and adjacent to each other. A corresponding first planting unit is fixedly connected to one end of each adjacent first connecting plate.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting mechanism at both ends of the upper surface of the support frame is the power source for the vertical movement of the entire device. When the lifting mechanism is started, it can drive the moving mechanism connected to it to move up and down on the front of the support frame. The slide in the moving mechanism is set vertically to the support frame and is controlled by the lifting mechanism. Therefore, as the lifting mechanism operates, the slide will move up and down along the front of the support frame. Since the first crossbar is connected between the two sliders and the sliders are installed on the slide, when the slide moves up and down, the first crossbar and the first connecting plate and the first planting unit welded to it will move vertically along the slide.

[0010] The second motor at the bottom of the carriage is a power device for horizontal movement. When the second motor is started, its output end will drive the active bevel gear to rotate. The active bevel gear and the driven bevel gear mesh with each other. The driven bevel gear is fixed to one end of the lead screw. Therefore, the rotation of the active bevel gear will drive the driven bevel gear to rotate through gear meshing, thereby causing the lead screw to rotate in the slide groove. The lead screw is externally threaded to the slider, and the slider slides in the slide groove. When the lead screw rotates, the slider will move horizontally along the slide groove under the action of the screw thread. The first crossbar is fixedly connected between the two sliders. The first connecting plate and the first planting unit are welded on the first crossbar. Therefore, the horizontal movement of the slider will drive the first crossbar, the first connecting plate and the first planting unit to move horizontally.

[0011] Through the coordinated operation of the lifting and moving mechanisms, the first planting unit can move vertically and horizontally. When the planting unit encounters an obstruction from the planting unit below as it descends, it can be adjusted to avoid it, ensuring that the planting unit can descend smoothly. This allows the planting unit at a high position to be lowered to the ground or a position that is easy to operate. Operators do not need to climb to a height to work, which reduces maintenance difficulty and safety risks, while improving maintenance efficiency.

[0012] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a winch and a first motor for driving the winch. A pulley frame is fixedly connected to the front of the support frame and directly above the slide. A guide pulley is rotatably connected to the front end of the pulley frame.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the first motor serves as a power source. When the first motor is started, it drives the connected winch to operate. The first motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, providing power for the entire lifting process.

[0014] Furthermore, a connector is fixedly connected to the top center of the carriage, and a traction rope is wound on the winch. One end of the traction rope passes through a guide pulley and is fixedly connected to the connector.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the winch starts working under the drive of the first motor. The winch will perform the winding and unwinding operation of the rope. Usually, one end of the rope is wound around the drum of the winch. As the winch rotates, the rope is wound up or unwound. A pulley frame is set on the front of the support frame and directly above the slide. The front end of the pulley frame is rotatably connected to a guide pulley. After the rope is led out from the winch, it passes over the guide pulley. The guide pulley changes the direction of the rope, so that the rope can be connected to the moving mechanism along a suitable path, ensuring that the power can be effectively transmitted to the moving mechanism. After passing over the guide pulley, the rope is connected to the slide in the moving mechanism. When the winch winds up the rope, the rope will pull the slide upward. Since the slide is connected to the first planting unit through the slider, the first crossbar, and the first connecting plate, the first planting unit will also move upward. Conversely, when the winch releases the rope, the slide and the first planting unit will move downward under the action of gravity.

[0016] Furthermore, the support frame has two symmetrical support plates at the center and bottom of its front side, and corresponding second crossbars are fixedly connected between each pair of support plates.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the support plate plays a role in fixing the second crossbar, ensuring its stable position and being able to bear the weight of the second planting unit and its internal plants, soil, etc.

[0018] Furthermore, multiple equidistant and adjacent second connecting plates are welded onto the second crossbar, and a corresponding second planting unit is fixedly connected to one end of each adjacent second connecting plate.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the second connecting plate and the second crossbar are firmly connected by welding, and the second planting unit is then fixed to one end of the connecting plate, so that the second planting unit can be stably installed on the support frame.

[0020] Furthermore, a limiting plate is fixedly connected to one end of the carriage near the support frame, and a limiting groove is vertically provided on the front of the support frame to slide and engage with the limiting plate.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding cooperation between the limiting plate and the limiting groove can ensure that the carriage will not detach from the support frame during vertical movement. At the same time, by setting the length and position of the limiting groove, the movement range of the carriage can be precisely limited, and precise guidance can be provided for the movement of the carriage, and the swaying and vibration of the carriage during movement can be reduced.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] (1) This utility model provides a vertical planting device for urban greening. Through the lifting mechanism at both ends of the upper surface of the support frame, the planting unit at a high position can be lowered to the ground or a position that is easy to operate. Operators no longer need to use climbing equipment to carry out climbing operations, thus avoiding the safety hazards caused by climbing and greatly reducing the difficulty and safety risks of maintenance work.

[0024] (2) This utility model provides a vertical planting device for urban greening. The lifting mechanism and the moving mechanism work together. When the planting unit descends and encounters the planting unit below, the moving mechanism can drive the planting unit to move horizontally to avoid and adjust, ensuring that the planting unit can descend smoothly. This design enables maintenance personnel to perform maintenance operations on each planting unit quickly and efficiently, significantly improving maintenance efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0030] To prevent the inconvenience, high manpower and material costs, and high safety risks associated with using climbing equipment when maintaining, replacing plants, or irrigating elevated planting units, and to address the issue of planting units being unable to flexibly avoid or adjust to obstacles from lower units during descent, thus hindering maintenance work and efficiency, this project aims to improve the ease of use, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance maintenance safety and efficiency of vertical planting devices for urban greening. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a vertical planting device for urban greening includes a support frame 1. Lifting mechanisms 2 are provided at both ends of the upper surface of the support frame 1. Moving mechanisms 3, controlled by the lifting mechanisms 2, are provided at both sides of the upper front of the support frame 1. Each moving mechanism 3 includes a slide 10 perpendicular to the support frame 1. A groove 11 is provided inside the slide 10. A lead screw 12 is rotatably connected inside the groove 11. One end of the lead screw 12 is fixedly connected to a driven bevel gear 13. A second motor 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the slide 10. The output end of the second motor 14 extends into the groove 11 and is fixedly connected to a driving bevel gear 15. The driving bevel gear 15 meshes with the driven bevel gear 13. A reinforcing rib 17 is provided at the bottom of the slide 10.

[0031] Both lead screws 12 are threaded to the outside of sliders 16, and sliders 16 are slidably connected to grooves 11. A first crossbar 18 is fixedly connected between the two sliders 16. Multiple first connecting plates 19 are welded on the first crossbar 18, which are arranged at equal intervals and adjacent to each other. A corresponding first planting unit 20 is fixedly connected to one end of an adjacent first connecting plate 19.

[0032] In use, the lifting mechanism 2 at both ends of the upper surface of the support frame 1 is the power source for the vertical movement of the entire device. When the lifting mechanism 2 is started, it can drive the moving mechanism 3 connected to it to move up and down on the front of the support frame 1. The slide 10 in the moving mechanism 3 is set vertically to the support frame 1 and is controlled by the lifting mechanism 2. Therefore, as the lifting mechanism 2 operates, the slide 10 will move up and down along the front of the support frame 1. Since the first crossbar 18 is connected between the two sliders 16, and the sliders 16 are installed on the slide 10, when the slide 10 moves up and down, the first crossbar 18, the first connecting plate 19 welded to it, and the first planting unit 20 will all move vertically with the slide 10.

[0033] The second motor 14 at the bottom of the slide 10 is a power device for horizontal movement. When the second motor 14 is started, its output end will drive the active bevel gear 15 to rotate. The active bevel gear 15 meshes with the driven bevel gear 13. The driven bevel gear 13 is fixed to one end of the lead screw 12. Therefore, the rotation of the active bevel gear 15 will drive the driven bevel gear 13 to rotate through gear meshing, thereby causing the lead screw 12 to rotate in the slide groove 11. The lead screw 12 is externally threaded to the slider 16, and the slider 16 slides with the slide groove 11. When the lead screw 12 rotates, the slider 16 will move horizontally along the slide groove 11 under the action of the thread of the lead screw 12. The first crossbar 18 is fixedly connected between the two sliders 16. The first connecting plate 19 and the first planting unit 20 are welded on the first crossbar 18. Therefore, the horizontal movement of the slider 16 will drive the first crossbar 18, the first connecting plate 19 and the first planting unit 20 to move horizontally.

[0034] Through the coordinated operation of the lifting mechanism 2 and the moving mechanism 3, the first planting unit 20 can move in both vertical and horizontal directions. When the planting unit encounters an obstruction from the planting unit below as it descends, it can be adjusted to avoid it, ensuring that the planting unit can descend smoothly. This allows the planting unit at a high position to be lowered to the ground or a position that is easy to operate. Operators do not need to climb to a height to work, which reduces the difficulty of maintenance and safety risks, while improving maintenance efficiency.

[0035] For example, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the present invention also includes the lifting mechanism 2, which includes a winch 4 and a first motor 5 for driving the winch 4. A pulley frame 6 is fixedly connected to the front of the support frame 1 and directly above the slide 10. A guide pulley 7 is rotatably connected to the front end of the pulley frame 6.

[0036] In use, the first motor 5 serves as the power source. When the first motor 5 is started, it drives the connected winch 4 to operate. The first motor 5 converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, providing power for the entire lifting process.

[0037] For example, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the present invention also includes a connector 9 fixedly connected to the top center of the slide 10, a traction rope 8 wound on the winch 4, and one end of the traction rope 8 passing through a guide pulley 7 and fixedly connected to the connector 9.

[0038] In operation, the winch 4 starts working under the drive of the first motor 5. The winch 4 will perform the winding and unwinding operation of the rope. Usually, one end of the rope is wound around the drum of the winch 4. As the winch 4 rotates, the rope is wound up or unwound. A pulley frame 6 is provided on the front of the support frame 1 and directly above the slide 10. The front end of the pulley frame 6 is rotatably connected to a guide pulley 7. After the rope is led out from the winch 4, it passes around the guide pulley 7. The guide pulley 7 changes the direction of the rope, so that the rope can follow a suitable path and... The moving mechanism 3 is connected to ensure that power can be effectively transmitted to the moving mechanism 3. After the rope passes over the guide pulley 7, it is connected to the slide 10 in the moving mechanism 3. When the winch 4 winds up the rope, the rope will pull the slide 10 to move upward. Since the slide 10 is connected to the first planting unit 20 through the slider 16, the first crossbar 18, and the first connecting plate 19, the first planting unit 20 will also move upward. Conversely, when the winch 4 releases the rope, the slide 10 and the first planting unit 20 will move downward under the action of gravity.

[0039] For example, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the present invention also includes two symmetrical support plates 21 on the front center and lower part of the support frame 1, and corresponding second crossbars 22 are fixedly connected between each pair of support plates 21.

[0040] When in use, the support plate 21 fixes the second crossbar 22, ensuring its stable position and ability to bear the weight of the second planting unit 24 and its internal plants, soil, etc.

[0041] For example, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the present invention also includes a plurality of second connecting plates 23 arranged at equal intervals and adjacent to each other welded on the second crossbar 22, and a corresponding second planting unit 24 fixedly connected to one end of an adjacent second connecting plate 23.

[0042] In use, the second connecting plate 23 and the second crossbar 22 are firmly connected by welding, and the second planting unit 24 is then fixed to one end of the connecting plate so that the second planting unit 24 can be stably installed on the support frame 1.

[0043] For example, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the present invention also includes a limiting plate 25 fixedly connected to one end of the slide 10 near the support frame 1, and a limiting groove 26 that is slidably connected to the limiting plate 25 is vertically opened on the front side of the support frame 1.

[0044] During use, the sliding engagement between the limiting plate 25 and the limiting groove 26 ensures that the carriage 10 will not detach from the support frame 1 during vertical movement. At the same time, by setting the length and position of the limiting groove 26, the movement range of the carriage 10 can be precisely limited, and precise guidance is provided for the movement of the carriage 10. It can also reduce the swaying and vibration of the carriage 10 during movement.

[0045] It should be noted that this utility model is a vertical planting device for urban greening. When the first motor 5 is started, the first motor 5 drives the winch 4 to operate. The winch 4 performs the winding and unwinding operation of the traction rope 8. When the winch 4 winds up the rope, the rope changes direction after passing through the guide pulley 7 and pulls the connecting piece 9 on the slide 10, causing the slide 10 to move upward, thereby driving the first crossbar 18, the first connecting plate 19 and the first planting unit 20 to move upward. When the winch 4 releases the rope, the slide 10 and the first planting unit 20 move downward under the action of gravity.

[0046] Simultaneously, the second motor 14 at the bottom of the slide 10 is started. The output end of the second motor 14 drives the active bevel gear 15 to rotate. The active bevel gear 15 meshes with the driven bevel gear 13. The driven bevel gear 13 drives the lead screw 12 to rotate in the slide groove 11. When the lead screw 12 rotates, the slider 16 connected to its external thread moves horizontally along the slide groove 11 under the action of the thread of the lead screw 12, thereby driving the first crossbar 18, the first connecting plate 19 and the first planting unit 20 to move horizontally. When the first planting unit 20 descends and encounters the planting unit below, it can be avoided and adjusted by the above-mentioned vertical and horizontal movement operations to ensure that the planting unit can descend smoothly. Through the coordinated work of the lifting mechanism 2 and the moving mechanism 3, the first planting unit 20 at a high position is lowered to the ground or a position that is easy to operate, so that the operator can carry out maintenance work.

[0047] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
