Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Sophora tonkinensis planting technology, and in particular to an adjustable planting rack. Background Technology

[0002] Sophora tonkinensis, also known as mountain bean jujube, is a traditional Chinese medicine. Its scientific name is *Sophoraton kinensis*, belonging to the legume family. It mainly grows in the mountainous areas of southern China. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is used to clear heat and detoxify, and has antibacterial and antiviral properties, particularly for treating sore throat, tonsillitis, and upper respiratory tract infections. It is often made into decoctions or lozenges for use as an anti-inflammatory drug. A Sophora tonkinensis planting rack is a support structure specifically designed for the cultivation and management of Sophora tonkinensis. Its main function is to provide a suitable growing environment, optimize space utilization, and facilitate management, harvesting, and protection of the Sophora tonkinensis.

[0003] Existing Sophora tonkinensis planting racks are partly composed of vertical or inclined supports. This structure is suitable for high-density Sophora tonkinensis cultivation. However, when the planting density of Sophora tonkinensis increases, the stems and leaves of Sophora tonkinensis will crowd together, resulting in reduced air circulation and light intensity of the planting rack, increased moisture accumulation, and is not conducive to the healthy growth of Sophora tonkinensis.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an adjustable planting rack to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an adjustable planting rack. This planting rack automatically unfolds and closes via an electric telescopic rod. When unfolded, it expands the space between the planting troughs, improves ventilation, and enhances light utilization with a trapezoidal distribution, thus optimizing the growth environment of Sophora tonkinensis. When closed, it adjusts the planting troughs to a vertical arrangement, allowing for layer-by-layer watering with the help of holes.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an adjustable planting rack, comprising a first base, a crossbar, and a second base. An electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed on the inner bottom surface of the first base. A linkage plate is fixedly installed at the output end of the electric telescopic rod. First adjusting rods are hinged to the front and rear ends of the linkage plate. Long rods are hinged to the front and rear ends of both sides of the crossbar. The ends of the two first adjusting rods away from the linkage plate are respectively hinged to one end of the two long rods at the front and rear ends of one side of the crossbar. Three planting mechanisms are rotatably installed between the long rods on both sides of the front end and the rear end of the crossbar.

[0007] Furthermore, each of the long rods at the front and rear ends of the other side of the crossbar is hinged with a second adjusting rod at one end, and each of the two second adjusting rods is hinged with a slider at the end away from the long rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the second base has sliding grooves at the upper front and rear ends, and the two sliders are respectively slidably disposed in the two sliding grooves.

[0009] Furthermore, support rods are fixedly installed on the upper ends of both the first base and the second base, and the upper ends of the two support rods are respectively fixedly installed on both sides of the lower end of the crossbar.

[0010] Furthermore, the planting mechanism includes a planting trough, and multiple manual telescopic rods are hinged at both the front and rear ends of the planting trough, with V-shaped brackets fixedly installed at the upper ends of the multiple manual telescopic rods.

[0011] Furthermore, the lower end of the planting trough is provided with multiple holes.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This utility model proposes an adjustable planting rack. The planting rack is activated by pushing the inner rod of an electric telescopic rod upwards, causing a linkage plate to move upwards. The linkage plate, via a first adjusting rod, causes a long rod to unfold. The multiple planting slots on the unfolded long rod will then be arranged in a trapezoidal pattern. This design increases the space between the planting slots, improving air circulation and ventilation. Furthermore, the trapezoidal distribution allows the *Sophora tonkinensis* (southern tonkinensis) to receive more sunlight, promoting growth. Overall, this design improves the growing environment for *Sophora tonkinensis*.

[0014] 2. The present invention proposes an adjustable planting rack. The planting rack moves the inner rod of the electric telescopic rod downward, which drives the linkage plate to move downward. The linkage plate drives the long rod to move inward through the first adjusting rod. At this time, the multiple planting troughs on the long rod will be arranged vertically. The user only needs to water the upper planting trough. Part of the water is absorbed by the soil, and the other part gradually seeps into other troughs through the bottom holes, realizing multi-level watering of multiple planting troughs.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Reference Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of an adjustable planting rack, comprising a first base 1, a crossbar 5, and a second base 11. An electric telescopic rod 2 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom surface of the first base 1. A linkage plate 3 is fixedly installed at the output end of the electric telescopic rod 2. First adjusting rods 8 are hinged to the front and rear ends of the linkage plate 3. Long rods 6 are hinged to the front and rear ends of both sides of the crossbar 5. The ends of the two first adjusting rods 8 away from the linkage plate 3 are respectively hinged to the ends of the two long rods 6 at the front and rear ends of one side of the crossbar 5. Three planting mechanisms 7 are rotatably installed between the long rods 6 on both sides of the front and rear ends of the crossbar 5. The ends of the long rods 6 at the front and rear ends of the other side of the crossbar 5 are hinged to the ends of the two long rods 6. Slider 10 is hinged to the ends of the two second adjusting rods 9 away from the long rods 6. Slide grooves 12 are opened at the upper part of the front and rear ends of the second base 11. The two sliders 10 are slidably installed in the two slide grooves 12 respectively. Support rods 4 are fixedly installed at the upper ends of the first base 1 and the second base 11. The upper ends of the two support rods 4 are respectively fixedly installed on both sides of the lower end of the crossbar 5.

[0023] Specifically, when the linkage plate 3 drives the long rod 6 to rotate via the first adjusting rod 8, the long rod 6 will synchronously drive the second adjusting rod 9 to move. When the second adjusting rod 9 moves, it will slide in the slide groove 12 via the slider 10. The synchronous movement of the second adjusting rod 9 provides support for the long rod 6. The slider 10 and the slide groove 12 are matched in shape, and both the slider 10 and the slide groove 12 are T-shaped structures in the prior art. This design ensures that the slider 10 will not slide out of the slide groove 12 during the sliding process. Secondly, the rotation structure adopted by the planting mechanism 7 is similar to the rotation structure of a Ferris wheel. When the first adjusting rod 8 drives the long rod 6 to rotate, the two sides of the planting mechanism 7 will also rotate on the long rod 6, thereby ensuring that the Sophora tonkinensis root in the planting mechanism 7 will not fall down.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-4The planting mechanism 7 includes a planting trough 701. Multiple manual telescopic rods 702 are hinged at both the front and rear ends of the planting trough 701. V-shaped brackets 703 are fixedly installed at the upper ends of the multiple manual telescopic rods 702. Multiple holes 704 are opened at the lower end of the planting trough 701.

[0025] Specifically, users can place soil in the planting trough 701 and then plant Sophora tonkinensis in the soil. Then, multiple V-shaped supports 703 set at the front and rear ends of the planting trough 701 can provide support for the Sophora tonkinensis rhizomes and prevent the Sophora tonkinensis plants from falling over. Multiple hinged manual telescopic rods 702 make it easy for users to adjust the height and angle of the V-shaped supports 703 to adapt to the Sophora tonkinensis rhizomes under different growth cycles.

[0026] Working principle: When the user turns on the power, the electric telescopic rod 2 starts working. By controlling the inner rod of the electric telescopic rod 2 to push upward, the linkage plate 3 moves upward. Then, the linkage plate 3 drives the long rod 6 to rotate with the hinge points on both sides of the crossbar 5 as support through the first adjusting rod 8 which is hinged at its front and rear ends, thereby unfolding the planting rack and enhancing the ventilation between the multiple planting troughs 701 on the planting rack. When the linkage plate 3 moves to the inner top surface of the first base 1, the linkage plate 3 drives the long rod 6 to fully unfold through the first adjusting rod 8. At this time, the multiple planting troughs 701 on the planting rack will be arranged in a trapezoidal shape, allowing the Sophora tonkinensis inside the planting troughs 701 to receive better sunlight.

[0027] Secondly, when the user needs to water, the electric telescopic rod 2 is controlled to move its inner rod downward, thereby driving the linkage plate 3 to move downward. The linkage plate 3 drives the long rod 6 to move inward through the first adjusting rod 8. When the electric telescopic rod 2 is retracted to its shortest stroke, the multiple planting troughs 701 on the long rod 6 will be vertically distributed. Then the user waters the uppermost planting trough 701. Some of this water is absorbed by the soil in the planting trough 701, while some of the unabsorbed water will gradually seep into the soil and then flow into the planting trough 701 below through the multiple holes 704 opened at the lower end of the planting trough 701, thus completing the watering of the Sophora tonkinensis.

[0028] 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.
