[0027] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0028] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the telescopic vertical farm cultivation column includes a base 1, a fixed cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 1, a docking ring 3 is slidably connected inside the fixed cylinder 2, and several first planting baskets are stacked on the upper side of the docking ring 3.

[0029] A ring rod 14 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed cylinder 2, and several second planting baskets are provided on the side wall of the ring rod 14.

[0030] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first planting basket includes a ring 4. A permeable mesh 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the ring 4 near the bottom. Several round holes 5 are evenly opened on the side wall of the ring 4. Threaded rings 7 are fixedly connected to the bottom end face of the ring 4. Threaded grooves 8 are opened on the top end face of the ring 4. The threaded rings 7 on the upper ring 4 are threadedly connected to the threaded grooves 8 on the lower ring 4. Multiple locking components are provided on the top end face of the fixed cylinder 2.

[0031] The height of the first planting basket can be flexibly adjusted according to the needs of the site. During the planting process, in order to prevent soil from leaking out of the round hole 5, the crop can be placed in the round hole 5 using a planting basket. This not only fixes the seedlings but also fills and seals the round hole 5 to prevent soil leakage.

[0032] like Figure 7 As shown, two sliders 9 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the side wall of the docking ring 3, and two sliding grooves 10 are opened on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 2. The sliders 9 and the sliding grooves 10 are slidably connected. The sliders 9 and the sliding grooves 10 can be used to limit the movement of multiple first planting baskets, so that they remain stable during extension and retraction. When controlling the up and down movement of the first planting baskets, manual support is required, or an electric lifting method can be used. This solution does not make specific limitations on its extension and retraction drive.

[0033] like Figure 8As shown, the locking assembly includes a support plate 11 fixedly connected to the top end face of the fixed cylinder 2. A stud 12 is threadedly connected to the side wall of the support plate 11. A rotating plate is fixedly connected to one end of the stud 12. Annular grooves 13 are formed on the side walls of the ring 4, and the other end of the stud 12 is adapted to the annular groove 13. By setting up the locking assembly, the first planting basket of each layer can be supported and fixed, facilitating the harvesting of crops in each layer.

[0034] like Figure 6 As shown, the second planting basket includes a hook 15, which is adapted to the ring rod 14. A planting basket 16 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the hook 15, and a perforated plate 17 is provided inside the planting basket 16. By using the second planting basket, crops can be planted around the fixed cylinder 2, which can increase space utilization and allow different crops to be planted in separate areas.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, a water pump 18 is installed inside the base 1, and a hose 19 is fixedly connected to the outlet of the water pump 18, extending to the outside of the base 1. A filling pipe 20 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 1.

[0036] Specifically, during the cultivation process, water can be injected into the base 1 through the injection pipe 20. The water can increase the weight of the base 1 and ensure the overall stability of the cultivation column. On the other hand, the water can be discharged through the water pump 18 to irrigate the crops in the first and second planting baskets.

[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, select an appropriate number of first planting baskets according to user needs, and fill each ring 4 with soil. Then, connect multiple rings 4 through threaded rings 7 and threaded grooves 8. Crop can be cultivated using the round holes 5. After that, fill the planting basket 16 with soil for crop cultivation.

[0038] When it is necessary to harvest crops, a layer-by-layer harvesting method can be adopted. First, harvest the crops on the bottom first planting basket, then rotate the rotating plate to drive the stud 12 to rotate. The stud 12 disengages from the annular groove 13. At this time, the user holds the first planting basket and moves it down to a suitable position, then rotates the stud 12 to insert it into the upper annular groove 13 to continue harvesting. Repeating the above actions can achieve the purpose of convenient harvesting.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
