Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of facility agriculture technology, specifically a hanging basket for growing strawberries in a greenhouse. Background Technology

[0002] In modern agricultural production, the use of hanging basket cultivation in greenhouse strawberry farming has become an important technical means to improve space utilization and fruit quality. Hanging basket cultivation can effectively prevent strawberry fruits from contacting the ground, reducing the risk of pests and diseases and fruit rot, while also facilitating agricultural operations and harvesting management.

[0003] Currently, most strawberry hanging baskets on the market are designed with a fixed length, a structural characteristic that reveals significant drawbacks in practical applications. On the one hand, limited by the diverse length and width dimensions of greenhouses, fixed-size hanging baskets, after being installed in an array, easily lead to redundancy or insufficient operating space on both sides: redundant space results in wasted effective planting area within the greenhouse, hindering intensive production; while narrow operating aisles significantly increase the difficulty of agricultural operations, reducing production efficiency. This spatial adaptability deficiency directly restricts the increase in planting density per unit area, affecting strawberry yield and economic benefits. On the other hand, existing hanging baskets generally use a connection method of fixed pulleys and suspension ropes, with the pulleys rigidly fixed to the basket body by bolts. This connection structure has significant drawbacks during equipment maintenance. Disassembly requires specialized tools, leading to increased maintenance time and cumbersome operations, failing to meet the timeliness requirements of facility agriculture for rapid equipment maintenance. Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a greenhouse strawberry hanging basket to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a hanging basket for growing strawberries in a greenhouse, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0026] 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.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0028] A hanging basket for growing strawberries in a greenhouse, comprising:

[0029] The left hanging basket 1, the right hanging basket 2, and the extension basket 3 are equipped with several planting pots 4. Several support rods 10 are provided inside the left hanging basket 1, the right hanging basket 2, and the extension basket 3. Several planting pots 4 are locked between adjacent support rods 10. Arc-shaped blocks 11 are provided on both sides of the left hanging basket 1, the right hanging basket 2, and the extension basket 3. Arc-shaped grooves 12 are opened on both sides of the several planting pots 4. Arc-shaped blocks 11 are locked in the arc-shaped grooves 12. A lifting component is provided on one side of the left hanging basket 1 and the right hanging basket 2.

[0030] When the planting pot 4 is placed on the left hanging basket 1, the right hanging basket 2, and the extension basket 3, the arc-shaped grooves 12 on both sides of the planting pot 4 engage with the arc-shaped blocks 11 on both sides of the hanging basket, providing lateral restraint. At the same time, the planting pot 4 is engaged between adjacent support rods 10, and the support rods 10 provide support for the planting pot 4 from the bottom. This prevents the planting pot 4 from shaking or shifting on the hanging basket, ensuring the stability of the strawberry plant during its growth.

[0031] Furthermore, the planting pot 4 has several through holes 13, a humidity sensor 14 is installed inside the planting pot 4, and handles 15 are fixed on both sides of the planting pot 4. A drain pipe 16 is provided on one side of the right hanging basket 2, and a control valve 17 is installed on the drain pipe 16.

[0032] A humidity sensor 14 is installed inside the planting pot 4. This sensor connects wirelessly to an external control system to monitor soil moisture data in real time and transmits the data to the control system. When the humidity falls below a set threshold, the control system automatically triggers the irrigation system to replenish water, achieving precise irrigation and preventing insufficient or excessive water from affecting strawberry growth. This also conserves water resources. In case of over-irrigation leading to water accumulation in the planting pot 4, the operator can open the control valve 17 on the drain pipe 16 of the right-side hanging basket 2. The accumulated water is drained through the drain pipe 16, preventing root rot caused by water accumulation in the planting pot 4 and ensuring healthy plant growth. Handles 15 on both sides of the planting pot 4 facilitate gripping during installation, handling, or adjustment, reducing operational difficulty, improving work efficiency, and ensuring safety during operation.

[0033] Both the right-side suspended basket 2 and the extension basket 3 are provided with a connector 5. The connector 5 has a first connecting groove 6. The other end of the extension basket 3 and the other end of the left-side suspended basket 1 are respectively engaged in the first connecting groove 6. The connector 5 is connected to the other end of the extension basket 3 and the left-side suspended basket 1 by bolts 32. The first connecting groove 6 is provided with a sealing edge 31. The sealing edge 31 is in contact with one end of the left-side suspended basket 1 and the extension basket 3 respectively.

[0034] During installation, the end of the extension basket 3 and the corresponding part of the left hanging basket 1 are precisely inserted into the first connecting groove 6 of the connector 5 on the right hanging basket 2 or the extension basket 3 to form a preliminary positioning. Then, bolts 32 are passed through the pre-drilled mounting holes on the connector 5, the extension basket 3, and the left hanging basket 1 and tightened, securing the three together through the tightening force of the bolts 32. This modular splicing design allows the overall length of the hanging basket to be adjusted according to the length and width of the greenhouse, effectively solving the problem of poor space adaptability of fixed-length hanging baskets and making full use of greenhouse space. The sealing edge 31 improves the sealing performance of the connection between the hanging baskets.

[0035] The lifting assembly includes a winding assembly, a connecting block 7, a mounting block 8, and a fixed pulley 9. The connecting block 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the left suspended basket 1 and the right suspended basket 2, and the connecting block 7 is engaged with the mounting block 8. The fixed pulley 9 is mounted on the mounting block 8. The winding assembly includes a mounting plate 18, a servo motor 19, a winding rod 20, and a side plate 21. The mounting plate 18 has a mounting threaded hole 22. The side plate 21 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 18. The winding rod 20 is rotatably connected to the side plate 21. The servo motor 19 is mounted on the mounting plate 18, and the output end of the servo motor 19 is connected to one end of the winding rod 20. Control switches 23 are installed on one side of both the left suspended basket 1 and the right suspended basket 2.

[0036] When installing the servo motor 19, the mounting plate 18 can be installed on the greenhouse roof by connecting the mounting bolts to the mounting threaded holes 22. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the hanging basket, the operator presses the control switch 23 on the left hanging basket 1 or the right hanging basket 2 to start the servo motor 19. The output shaft of the servo motor 19 drives the winding rod 20 to rotate, and the winding rod 20 winds up and unwinds the hanging rope. If it is necessary to raise the height of the hanging basket, the winding rod 20 winds up the hanging rope tightly; if it is necessary to lower the height of the hanging basket, the winding rod 20 rotates in the opposite direction to release the hanging rope. Through the precise control of the servo motor 19, the height of the hanging basket can be precisely adjusted to meet the space requirements of different growth stages of strawberries and the convenience requirements of agricultural operations.

[0037] In the above embodiment, the connecting block 7 is provided with a second connecting groove 24, the mounting block 8 is engaged in the second connecting groove 24, the mounting block 8 is provided with a mounting groove 25, a reset spring 26 is installed in the mounting groove 25, one end of the reset spring 26 is connected to a moving plate 27, the two ends of the moving plate 27 are respectively connected to a push block 28 and a locking block 29, the connecting block 7 is provided with a locking groove 30, and the locking block 29 is engaged in the locking groove 30.

[0038] During installation, the mounting block 8 is aligned with the second connecting groove 24 on the connecting block 7 and inserted. As the mounting block 8 is inserted deeper, the return spring 26 in the mounting groove 25 inside the mounting block 8 is compressed, pushing the moving plate 27 to move. This causes the engaging block 29 to extend and engage with the engaging groove 30 on the connecting block 7, completing the engagement and fixation of the mounting block 8 and the connecting block 7, thereby stably installing the fixed pulley 9 on the suspended platform. During disassembly, simply press the push block 28 manually to push the moving plate 27 to compress the return spring 26, causing the engaging block 29 to disengage from the engaging groove 30. The mounting block 8 can then be easily pulled out from the second connecting groove 24, achieving rapid separation of the fixed pulley 9 from the suspended platform without the need for tools, significantly improving maintenance efficiency.

[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.
