[0048] The following reference Figures 1 to 6 The present application describes the harvesting and planting facilities and hydroponic system as described in the embodiments.

[0049] See Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a harvesting and planting mechanism, which includes a frame 1, a drive component, and a support component 2. The frame 1 is disposed on the side of the hydroponic tank outside the hydroponic tank. The drive component is disposed on the frame 1, and a portion of the drive component is movable relative to the frame 1. The support component 2 is used to support and transfer the hydroponic board. The support component 2 is connected to the movable portion of the drive component relative to the frame 1. Under the driving action of the drive component, the support component 2 can reciprocate between the frame 1 and the hydroponic tank, thereby transferring the hydroponic board into the hydroponic tank or removing the hydroponic board from the hydroponic tank.

[0050] Specifically, the frame 1 includes a top frame 103 and two supports, namely a first support 101 and a second support 102. The first support 101 and the second support 102 face each other and are spaced apart along the length of the side wall of the hydroponic tank. The top frame 103 is located on top of the first support 101 and the second support 102. The top frame 103 is connected to both the first support 101 and the second support 102. The top frame 103, the first support 101 and the second support 102 together form a frame structure, and the space area defined by the first support 101, the second support 102 and the top frame 103 can be used as a temporary storage area for the hydroponic board.

[0051] like Figure 1As shown, the top frame 103, the first support 101, and the second support 102 are each connected by multiple pipes or profiles, and all have a frame structure, which ensures sufficient load-bearing capacity and avoids excessive weight of the frame 1. Preferably, the first support 101 and the second support 102 are connected by other pipes or profiles to further enhance the stability of the frame 1.

[0052] The top frame 103 is provided with a fixing plate 3 for fixing the drive assembly. Part of the drive assembly is located on the upper surface of the fixing plate 3. The lower surface of the fixing plate 3 is provided with a first sliding part 301, which is specifically a slide rail. Preferably, there are two first sliding parts 301, which are arranged parallel to each other along the length of the top frame 103. The length of the first sliding part 301 extends along a first direction a, which is a direction towards or away from the hydroponic tank. Preferably, the middle surface of the fixing plate 3 is partially hollowed out, which avoids interference with the operation of the drive device and also reduces weight.

[0053] The bottom of the first support 101 is provided with a first moving wheel 4, and the bottom of the second support 102 is provided with a second moving wheel 5. By providing the first moving wheel 4 and the second moving wheel 5, it is easy to move this harvesting and planting mechanism to a designated position, and planting and harvesting operations can be carried out at different positions in the hydroponic pond.

[0054] Preferably, the harvesting and planting mechanism further includes a guide component 6, which is set on the ground of the hydroponic work area. The guide component 6 includes a first guide rail 601 and a second guide rail 602, which are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart. The lengths of the first guide rail 601 and the second guide rail 602 extend along the length of the side wall of the hydroponic tank. The first guide rail 601 includes a first limiting plate 6011 and a second limiting plate 6012 that have an integral structure or are interconnected. The first limiting plate 6011 is fixed to the ground, and the second limiting plate 6012 is arranged perpendicular to the ground and the first limiting plate 6011. The second guide rail 602 includes a third limiting plate and a fourth limiting plate. The third limiting plate is set on the ground and is perpendicular to the first limiting plate 6011. The fourth limiting plate is set perpendicular to the ground and the third limiting plate. Preferably, the second limiting plate 6012 and the fourth limiting plate are set close to each other. The first moving wheel 4 on one foot of the first support 101 can walk on the first limiting plate 6011 and is limited and guided by the second limiting plate 6012. The first moving wheel 4 on the other foot of the first support 101 can walk on the third limiting plate and is limited by the fourth limiting plate. The second moving wheel 5 on the second support 102 is set in the same way as above. Since the second limiting plate 6012 and the fourth limiting plate are set close to each other, the lateral displacement of the first support 101 and the second support 102 can be restricted, and the frame 1 can be prevented from moving towards or away from the hydroponic pool.

[0055] Preferably, the bottom of the first support 101 and the second support 102 are respectively provided with drive motors. The drive shaft of the drive motor is connected to the axle of one of the first moving wheels 4, and the other drive motor is connected to the axle of one of the second moving wheels 5, so that the drive motor can drive the first moving wheels 4 and the second moving wheels 5, which serve as drive wheels, to rotate, thereby enabling the frame to move to a designated position.

[0056] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a connecting frame 7 and a first drive device 8. The connecting frame 7 has a frame structure formed by connecting multiple profiles. The top of the connecting frame 7 is provided with a first sliding plate 701 and a second sliding plate 702. The first sliding plate 701 is slidably connected to one of the first sliding parts 301, and the second sliding plate 702 is slidably connected to the other first sliding part 301. The top of the connecting frame 7 is also provided with a connecting plate 703, which is located between the first sliding plate 701 and the second sliding plate 702. The first driving device 8 includes a first driving member 801, a first transmission belt 802, and a first transmission seat 803. Specifically, the first driving member 801 is a motor. The first driving member 801 and the first transmission seat 803 are spaced apart on the fixed plate 3 along the first direction a. The first transmission belt 802 is simultaneously sleeved on the drive shaft of the first driving member 801 and the first transmission seat 803. The upper surface of the connecting plate 703 is provided with a sleeve portion, which is sleeved on the first transmission belt 802. When the first driving member 801 is started, the first transmission belt 802 begins to rotate. The two first sliding portions 301 play a guiding role, thereby driving the connecting plate 703 and the connecting frame 7 to move along the first direction a. The moving direction of the connecting frame 7 can be switched by switching the rotation direction of the drive shaft of the first driving member 801.

[0057] The connecting frame 7 also includes a first upright 704 and a second upright 705. The lengths of both the first upright 704 and the second upright 705 extend along a second direction b, and they are arranged parallel to each other. The second direction b is specifically a vertical direction, and the second direction b is perpendicular to the first direction a. A second sliding part 706 is provided on the first upright 704, and another second sliding part 706 is provided on the second upright 705. The second sliding part 706 is specifically a slide rail, and the lengths of both second sliding parts 706 extend along the second direction b.

[0058] Furthermore, the drive assembly also includes a second drive device 9, which includes a second drive member 901, a first transmission rod 902, a second transmission rod 903, and a second transmission belt 904. Specifically, the second drive member 901 is a rotary motor. The first transmission rod 902 and the second transmission rod 903 are respectively connected to the output shaft of the second drive member 901, and are distributed on both sides of the output shaft. The first transmission rod 902 and the second transmission rod 903 are distributed along the same straight line. The second drive member 901 can simultaneously drive the first transmission rod 902 and the second transmission rod 903 to rotate. One end of the first transmission rod 902 is connected to the output shaft of the second drive member 901, and the other end of the first transmission rod 902 faces... The first upright 704 extends, one end of the second transmission rod 903 is connected to the output shaft of the second drive member 901, and the other end of the second transmission rod 903 extends toward the second upright 705. The upper end of the first upright 704 is provided with a first support 707, and the lower end of the first upright 704 is provided with a second support 708. The first support 707 and the second support 708 are respectively provided with rotating rollers. The second transmission belt 904 is simultaneously sleeved on the rotating rollers of the first support 707 and the rotating rollers of the second support 708. The first transmission rod 902 is connected to the rotating rollers on the first support 707. When the second drive member 901 is started, the first transmission rod 902 drives the rotating rollers at the upper end of the first upright 704 to rotate, thereby causing the second transmission belt 904 to start rotating. Correspondingly, the upper end of the second upright 705 is provided with another first support 707, and the lower end of the second upright 705 is provided with another second support 708. Another second transmission belt 904 is fitted on the first support 707 and the second support 708. When the second drive unit 901 is started, the two second transmission belts 904 operate synchronously.

[0059] Further, the supporting component 2 specifically includes a support member 201 and a fork 202. Specifically, the support member 201 includes a first support portion 2011, a second support portion 2012, and a third support portion 2013. The first support portion 2011 has a four-sided frame structure, and its length extends along the length of the hydroponic tank sidewall. Sliding connection portions 2014 are respectively provided at both ends of the first support portion 2011. One of the sliding connection portions 2014 is slidably connected to a second sliding portion 706 on the first upright 704. Simultaneously, this sliding connection portion 2014 also... The second drive belt 904 is connected to the first upright 704, and another sliding connection 2014 is slidably connected to the second sliding part 706 on the second upright 705. At the same time, the sliding connection 2014 is also connected to the second drive belt 904 on the second upright 705. When the second drive member 901 is started, the two second drive belts 904 operate synchronously. With the cooperation of the second sliding connection 2014 and the second sliding part 706, and by switching the rotation direction of the second drive member 901, the first support part 2011 can reciprocate along the second direction b.

[0060] The second support portion 2012 is rod-shaped, and its length extends vertically. There are multiple second support portions 2012. Preferably, multiple second support portions 2012 are fixedly arranged at equal intervals on the first support portion 2011 along its length. There are multiple third support portions 2013. Each second support portion 2012 is provided with at least one third support portion 2013. Preferably, each second support portion 2012 is provided with two third support portions 2013, which are spaced apart along the length of the second support portion 2012. The third support portion 2013 is plate-shaped, and one side of the third support portion 2013 is fixedly connected to the second support portion 2012. The third support portion 2013 is provided with a through hole, the axis of which extends vertically. The through holes of the two third support portions 2013 on each second support portion 2012 are coaxially arranged.

[0061] The number of fork handles 202 is the same as the number of second support parts 2012, and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. Each second support part 2012 is provided with one fork handle 202. The specific number of fork handles 202 and second support parts 2012 is determined by the length of the hydroponic board. An appropriate number of fork handles 202 can be set according to the length of the hydroponic board. The fork handle 202 includes a rod part 2021 and a support part 2022. The rod part 2021 passes sequentially through a third support part 2013 on the second support part 2012. A bearing is provided in the through hole of the third support part 2013, and the rod part 2021 is rotatably connected to the third support part 2013 through the bearing. The support part 2022 is rod-shaped or plate-shaped. One end of the support part 2022 is connected to the bottom end of the rod part 2021, and the other end of the support part 2022 extends toward the hydroponic tank. The support part 2022 and the rod part 2021 are set at an angle. Preferably, the support part 2022 and the rod part 2021 are set perpendicularly. The support parts 2022 of the multiple forks 202 can be spaced apart at the bottom of the hydroponic board along the length of the hydroponic board, thereby supporting the hydroponic board.

[0062] Furthermore, the drive assembly also includes a third drive device 10, which includes a third drive member, specifically a rotary motor. The third drive member is mounted on one of the second support portions 2012, and the output shaft of the third drive member is connected to the rod portion 2021 of the fork 202 on the second support portion 2012, thereby enabling the third drive member to drive the fork 202 to rotate.

[0063] Furthermore, this harvesting and planting mechanism also includes an adapter 12, and the drive assembly includes a connector 11. The adapter 12 is rod-shaped or plate-shaped, and the connector 11 is rod-shaped. The number of adapters 12 is the same as the number of forks 202. Each fork 202 is connected to an adapter 12. One end of the adapter 12 is sleeved on the rod 2021 of the fork 202, and the other end of the adapter 12 is rotatably connected to the connector 11. The three adapters 12 are arranged in parallel. When the third drive is started, the third drive drives one of the forks 202 to rotate. The adapter 12 on the fork 202 rotates synchronously with the fork 202. Under the connection of the connector 11, all forks 202 rotate synchronously. By switching the rotation direction of the third drive, all forks 202 can swing synchronously in the same direction, so that the forks 202 can swing back and forth between the direction pointing to the pool and the direction parallel to the side wall of the pool.

[0064] During operation, the harvesting and planting mechanism is as follows: the first drive device 8 drives the connecting frame 7, along with the support member 201, to move towards the water tank along the first direction a, causing each fork 202 to move from the temporary storage area to above the water tank; the second drive device 9 drives the support member 201, along with the fork 202, to descend along the second direction b, allowing the fork 202 to enter the water tank; during planting, the hydroponic board supported by the fork 202 descends with the fork 202 until it is in contact with the liquid surface and floats on the liquid surface, then the third drive device 10 drives each fork 202 to rotate to the retracted state, leaving the hydroponic board in the water tank. During harvesting, the fork 202 enters the water tank in the retracted state; when the fork 202 descends below the liquid surface, the third drive device 10 drives the fork 202 to rotate from the retracted state to the extended state, and as the fork 202 gradually rises, it can lift the hydroponic board. Conversely, under the driving action of the second driving device 9 and the first driving device 8, the connecting frame 7, together with the fork handle 202, can move back to its original position and return to the temporary storage area. The specific process is fully understandable to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0065] In summary, this harvesting and planting mechanism can replace manual labor for placing and removing hydroponic boards. It can be used for planting or harvesting operations, significantly improving the efficiency of hydroponic operations, reducing manual labor steps, lowering the workload of staff, and also helping to reduce production costs and production cycles.

[0066] The embodiments of this application also provide a hydroponic system, including the harvesting and planting mechanism described in any of the above embodiments, and thus possess all the beneficial technical effects of the harvesting and planting mechanism, which will not be repeated here.

[0067] This hydroponic system, by configuring the aforementioned harvesting and planting mechanism, replaces the traditional manual operation mode with mechanical planting and harvesting, reducing manual labor steps and thus effectively improving the production efficiency of this hydroponic system.

[0068] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
