Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corn cultivation technology, and in particular to a cultivation rack for corn cultivation. Background Technology
[0002] Corn is an important annual herbaceous plant of the Poaceae family, native to Central America, and now widely cultivated around the world. Corn cultivation racks are three-dimensional planting equipment designed specifically for tall crops such as corn, mainly used in laboratories, greenhouses, or small-scale planting scenarios.
[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent CN220044335U, which discloses a cultivation rack for corn seedlings. This patent addresses the issue that traditional cultivation racks require manual irrigation of corn seedlings, which is inefficient and uneven. Furthermore, the rack's height is not adjustable, meaning it no longer meets the seedlings' developmental needs as they grow. Therefore, this patent proposes a height-adjustable cultivation rack to prevent seedling bending and other problems caused by the rack's inability to adjust its height. By incorporating a water tank, pump, nozzle, and mist sprayer, and positioning the nozzle at an appropriate height above the cultivation rack, the patent allows for more even and thorough irrigation of the corn seedlings, significantly improving irrigation efficiency and effectiveness compared to traditional manual irrigation.
[0004] While the aforementioned cultivation rack facilitates corn cultivation and irrigation, it contains horizontal baffles. Although these baffles are adjustable, corn plants typically grow quite tall, and the horizontal baffles are only suitable for the corn from seed to seedling stage. As the corn plants grow, the horizontal baffles at the top of the plants can obstruct and restrict their growth, making it difficult to cultivate larger corn plants. Utility Model Content

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0013] An installation frame is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the adjustment frame. A bidirectional lead screw is rotatably connected inside the installation frame. A throttle is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional lead screw. Two internal thread blocks are threaded to the external surface of the bidirectional lead screw, and the two internal thread blocks are slidably connected inside the installation frame.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] 1. This utility model, through the setting of the cultivation components, utilizes multiple vertically arranged baffles with adjustable positions and spacing to facilitate the obstruction of corn plant growth while ensuring smooth growth of corn plants from seed germination to juvenile and adult stages. Furthermore, the push-tightening plate allows for easy tightening of the baffles after the spacing is adjusted, enabling the baffles to be positioned according to the size of the corn plant. Additionally, the drainage plate, guide plate, and collection frame facilitate the collection of excess nutrient solution, reducing waste and promoting its reuse.
[0022] 2. This utility model, through the setting of the limiting component, utilizes two mounting plates that are close to each other to limit the corn plants on both sides when they grow to a relatively high height, thereby reducing the phenomenon of corn plants breaking or falling due to strong winds. The elastic plate, under the pushing action of the spring, provides elastic space on the side of the corn plant when the mounting plate is close to the corn plant, thus facilitating buffer protection. Furthermore, when the sliding frame slides on the fixed frame, it is easy to adjust according to the planting position of the corn plant, thereby facilitating accurate limiting of the corn plant.

[0034] The cultivation component includes two fixed frames 3. Multiple baffles 4 are slidably connected inside the two fixed frames 3 to block the corn plants and reduce mutual interference between them. A threaded groove is opened in the middle of one of the fixed frames 3, and a stud 5 is threadedly connected to the middle of the fixed frame 3 through the threaded groove to facilitate the movement of the push plate 9. A cross button 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the stud 5, and the push plate 9 is rotatably connected to the other end of the stud 5.

A drain plate 10 and a guide plate 11 are fixedly connected inside the liquid collection frame 1. The guide plate 11 is located below the drain plate 10. The drain plate 10 facilitates the leakage of excess water and nutrient solution, while the guide plate 11 guides the nutrient solution and water. A drain pipe 12 is connected through one side of the liquid collection frame 1, and a liquid-blocking cap is threadedly connected to one end of the drain pipe 12.
[0035] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the two side plates 2 are provided with limiting components on their exterior. The limiting components include two fixing brackets 13, which are fixedly connected to both sides of the two side plates 2 for sliding the sliding frame 14 and adjusting the position of the two mounting plates 21.
[0036] As attached Figure 6 As shown, the fixed frame 13 has multiple sliding frames 14 slidably connected to its exterior. A connecting rod 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding frame 14. An adjusting frame 16 is slidably connected to the exterior of the connecting rod 15, which facilitates pushing the two mounting plates 21 toward one side of the plant. An mounting frame 17 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the adjusting frame 16. A two-way screw 18 is rotatably connected inside the mounting frame 17, and the exterior is set with threads in opposite directions. A handle 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the two-way screw 18.
[0037] As attached Figure 7 As shown, the external thread of the bidirectional lead screw 18 is connected to two internal thread blocks 20. The two internal thread blocks 20 are slidably connected inside the mounting frame 17. A mounting plate 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the internal thread blocks 20 for mounting springs 26. Multiple grooves 22 are provided inside the mounting plate 21 for mounting connecting posts 23. The connecting posts 23 are slidably connected inside the grooves 22. A limit plate 24 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting post 23 to limit and block the connecting post 23. An elastic plate 25 is fixedly connected to one end of the multiple connecting posts 23 to buffer one side of the corn plant. Springs 26 are fixedly connected inside the grooves 22. The springs 26 are located outside the connecting posts 23 to limit the springs 26 and reduce deformation. One end of the multiple springs 26 is fixedly connected to one side of the elastic plate 25 to provide elastic buffering for the elastic plate 25.
[0038] As attached Figure 6 As shown, threaded holes are provided on the lower surfaces of both the sliding frame 14 and the adjusting frame 16 for mounting bolts 27.
[0039] As attached Figure 5 As shown, the lower surfaces of the sliding frame 14 and the adjusting frame 16 are threadedly connected to bolts 27 through threaded holes to fix the positions of the sliding frame 14 and the adjusting frame 16.
[0040] Working principle: When in use, the surface of the slurry plate 10 is filled with planting soil, and then corn seeds are sown on the soil surface. Water and nutrient solution are then poured on the soil surface. Excess nutrient solution and water will flow down the slurry plate 10 to the surface of the guide plate 11, thus accumulating inside the liquid collection frame 1, and then being discharged through the drain pipe 12. When the corn grows into a larger plant and the position of the baffle 4 needs to be moved according to the plant, the baffle 4 is first moved horizontally so that the two sides of the baffle 4 slide inside the fixed frame 3, thereby adjusting the distance between multiple baffles 4. After the multiple baffles 4 are adjusted, the cross knob 6 is turned, thereby driving the stud 5 to rotate. Under the action of the corresponding thread groove, the stud 5 can push the push plate 9 to move. The push plate 9 drives the sliders 8 on both sides to slide inside the sliding groove 7, squeezing one side of the baffle 4. Under the action of pressure, the position of the baffle 4 is fixed.
[0041] When the device is moved outdoors and strong winds occur, requiring the plant to be positioned at a certain height, first slide the sliding frame 14 outside the fixing frame 13, indirectly moving the two mounting plates 21 to one side of the corn plant. Then, tighten the bolts 27 at the bottom of the sliding frame 14 to fix the sliding frame 14. Next, slide the adjusting frame 16 outside the connecting rod 15, so that the adjusting frame 16 indirectly moves the two mounting plates 21 to both sides of the corn plant, placing the corn plant between the two mounting plates 21. Then, turn the handle 19 to rotate the double-ended screw 18, thereby causing the two internal threaded blocks 20 to slide inside the mounting frame 17 and move closer to each other. The internal threaded blocks 20 move the mounting plates 21, and the mounting plates 21 move the elastic plates 25. When the elastic plates 25 touch the side of the corn plant, they help to limit the corn plant. During the limiting, the elastic plates 25, under the pushing action of the spring 26, provide more elastic space for the corn plant, thus protecting it.
[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
