Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a rotating soilless cultivation rack for organic vegetables, belonging to the field of organic vegetable cultivation technology. Background Technology

[0002] Soilless cultivation of organic vegetables is a modern agricultural production model that integrates organic farming concepts with soilless cultivation technology. It creates a suitable environment for vegetable growth without using natural soil, chemical fertilizers, or pesticides. It has many significant characteristics and advantages, avoiding the soil compaction, acidification, and pollution problems caused by the long-term use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in traditional agriculture. It protects the soil ecological environment. The nutrient solution circulation system of soilless cultivation can precisely control water supply, saving 50% to 70% of water compared to traditional soil cultivation, making it especially suitable for water-scarce areas.

[0003] When carrying out hydroponics for organic vegetables, cultivation racks are required. When placing cultivation racks, a certain space must be reserved between two cultivation racks, i.e., aisle space. This is mainly to facilitate the movement of staff to observe the cultivation of organic vegetables. Currently, most cultivation racks are multi-layered structures. In actual use, the seedling trays on the top layer often block the light source of the seedling trays on the bottom layer, resulting in uneven light distribution and affecting the uniformity of vegetable growth. If the seedling trays on the bottom layer are placed next to the seedling trays on the top layer, the seedling trays on the bottom layer will extend towards the aisle. In this way, in order to avoid the seedling trays on the bottom layer colliding with each other or obstructing the passage of staff, the distance between the two cultivation racks must be further increased. This will undoubtedly reduce the effective utilization of space and increase the planting cost. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a rotating organic vegetable hydroponics rack to solve the above problems. The hydroponics box and hydroponics pot are arranged side by side to ensure the light effect. The hydroponics box can be rotated, which increases the aisle space and facilitates the passage of staff.

[0005] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned objective through the following technical solution: a rotating hydroponic organic vegetable cultivation rack, comprising a U-shaped support base, a pair of vertically distributed spiral plates fixedly connected to the inner wall of one end of the U-shaped support base, hydroponic cultivation pots for cultivating organic vegetables placed on the top of the two spiral plates in a linear array, and a drive gear mounted on the inner wall of the bottom of the spiral plates via a rotating rod in a linear array, comprising two sets of symmetrically distributed drive gears, the top of the drive gears being connected to a hydroponic cultivation box for cultivating organic vegetables via a fixed rod, and a drive assembly provided at the bottom of the spiral plates, the drive assembly being used to drive the drive gears to rotate, thereby changing the usage position of the hydroponic cultivation box.

[0006] Preferably, in order to fix the two U-shaped support plates as one unit, the U-shaped support base frame includes two U-shaped support plates, and the two U-shaped support plates are fixedly connected by a connecting rod.

[0007] Preferably, to facilitate the use of the drive screw, the drive assembly includes a drive screw, and a rectangular elongated hole is provided at the bottom of the spiral plate, and the drive screw is rotatably connected in the rectangular elongated hole.

[0008] Preferably, in order to install the drive motor, a motor mount is bolted to the outer side wall of one end of the U-shaped plate, the drive motor is fixedly mounted on the motor mount, and the output shaft of the drive motor is fixed to one end of the drive screw.

[0009] Preferably, in order to drive the linear motion plate to translate, the driving screw is threaded with a linear motion plate, the linear motion plate is slidably engaged in the rectangular elongated hole, and the linear motion plate is located in the middle of the rectangular elongated hole.

[0010] Preferably, in order to move the linear displacement rack, a linear displacement rack is fixedly connected to the top of the linear motion plate, and the linear displacement rack is located above the rectangular elongated hole.

[0011] Preferably, in order for the linear displacement rack to move within the spiral plate, the linear displacement rack meshes with the drive gear, one end of the linear displacement rack is close to the inner side of one end of the spiral plate, and the other end maintains a certain distance from the inner side of the other end of the spiral plate.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting up a soilless cultivation pot, a soilless cultivation box, and a driving component, the soilless cultivation pot and the soilless cultivation box are arranged in a parallel manner. This layout effectively ensures the lighting effect. Sufficient and uniform lighting allows organic vegetables to obtain consistent lighting conditions during their growth, thereby promoting the uniformity of organic vegetable growth. Since the soilless cultivation box is located on one side of the soilless cultivation pot, it inevitably occupies a certain amount of aisle space. When staff need to observe the cultivation of organic vegetables through the aisle, the driving component can be used to rotate the soilless cultivation box. After the rotation is completed, the aisle space is significantly increased, greatly facilitating the passage of staff and providing convenient conditions for them to carry out various cultivation-related operations smoothly.

[0019] 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.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-5As shown, a rotating hydroponics system for organic vegetables includes a U-shaped support frame 1. A pair of vertically arranged spiral plates 2 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of one end of the U-shaped support frame 1. Hydroponics pots 3 for cultivating organic vegetables are placed linearly on the top of both spiral plates 2. Two sets of drive gears 4 are symmetrically distributed and mounted on the inner wall of the bottom of the spiral plates 2 via rotating rods. The top of each drive gear 4 is connected to a hydroponics box 6 for cultivating organic vegetables via a fixing rod 5. A drive assembly 7 is located at the bottom of the spiral plates 2, driving the drive gears 4 to rotate, thereby changing the position of the hydroponics box 6. When cultivating organic vegetables, workers can place the organic vegetables into the hydroponics pots 3 and the hydroponics box 6 respectively. After planting, the organic vegetables in the hydroponics pots 3 and the hydroponics box 6... The vegetables are arranged side by side, which effectively ensures adequate and uniform light. This allows the organic vegetables to receive consistent light conditions during their growth, thus promoting uniform growth. Since the hydroponic cultivation box 6 is located on one side of the hydroponic cultivation pot 3, it inevitably occupies some aisle space. When staff need to observe the cultivation of organic vegetables through the aisle, the drive component 7 can be used to rotate the hydroponic cultivation box 6. After the rotation is completed, the aisle space is significantly increased, greatly facilitating the passage of staff and providing convenient conditions for carrying out various cultivation-related operations. In addition, the hydroponic cultivation pot 3 and the hydroponic cultivation box 6 are also equipped with planting holes to facilitate the planting of organic vegetables. At the same time, the hydroponic cultivation pot 3 and the hydroponic cultivation box 6 are also equipped with water inlets and drains to facilitate the injection of nutrient solution.

[0021] The U-shaped support base 1 includes two U-shaped support plates 101, which are fixedly connected by a connecting rod 102. The two U-shaped support bases 1 are connected by the connecting rod 102 to ensure stability.

[0022] The drive assembly 7 includes a drive screw 701. A rectangular hole is formed at the bottom of the U-shaped plate 2. The drive screw 701 is rotatably connected within the rectangular hole. A motor mount 702 is bolted to the outer wall of one end of the U-shaped plate 2. A drive motor 703 is fixedly mounted on the motor mount 702, and the output shaft of the drive motor 703 is fixed to one end of the drive screw 701. A linear motion plate 704 is threaded onto the drive screw 701. The linear motion plate 704 is slidably engaged within the rectangular hole and is located in the middle of the rectangular hole. A linear displacement rack 705 is fixedly connected to the top of the linear motion plate 704. The linear displacement rack 705 is located above the rectangular hole and meshes with the drive gear 4. One end of the rack 705 is close to the inner side of one end of the U-shaped plate 2, and the other end maintains a certain distance from the inner side of the other end of the U-shaped plate 2. After the drive motor 703 works, it can drive the drive screw 701 to rotate in place. At this time, under the limit of the rectangular elongated hole, the linear motion plate 704 can move linearly, which can drive the linear displacement rack 705 to move linearly. Since the linear displacement rack 705 meshes with multiple drive gears 4, and the other end of the linear displacement rack 705 maintains a certain distance from the inner side of the other end of the U-shaped plate 2, the linear displacement rack 705 will not be obstructed when it moves. When the linear displacement rack 705 moves, it can drive multiple drive gears 4 to rotate synchronously. At this time, multiple fixed rods 5 and hydroponics box 6 rotate. After the rotation action is completed, the passage space is significantly increased.
