[0002] Traditional Chinese medicinal materials refer to natural resources such as medicinal plants, animals, and minerals used to prevent and treat diseases and regulate human functions under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory. They form the material foundation for the development of traditional Chinese medicine in my country and play an irreplaceable role in safeguarding public health and promoting the development of the pharmaceutical industry. With the increasing demand for medicinal materials and the development of planting techniques, methods that fully utilize vertical space for planting have gradually been adopted to improve space utilization. Among these, the three-dimensional planting model, using multiple planting trays distributed vertically, enables large-scale planting within limited space and has become one of the important forms of standardized cultivation of medicinal materials.

[0003] In existing technologies, when using planting trays for medicinal herb cultivation, watering is mostly done manually, typically by hand using a sprayer or similar tool to water the herbs in the trays. However, this manual watering method has significant drawbacks: firstly, manual operation makes it difficult to ensure uniform watering and control the amount of water applied each time, leading to inconsistent growth environments and affecting the quality of the herbs; secondly, manual watering requires growers to constantly monitor the watering time, which can easily result in untimely or excessive watering due to negligence or improper timing, hindering the standardized cultivation of medicinal herbs.

[0004] Therefore, a standardized cultivation device for Chinese medicinal herbs is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention proposes a standardized planting device for Chinese medicinal herbs, which can improve the uniformity of watering and accurately control the amount of water per watering, creating a stable growth environment for Chinese medicinal herbs to improve their growth quality; at the same time, it eliminates the need for growers to constantly monitor watering time, effectively avoiding the problems of untimely or excessive watering, and helping to standardize the cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows: a standardized planting device for Chinese medicinal materials includes multiple planting discs and water tanks distributed vertically. The lower ends of the multiple planting discs are all fixedly connected to a central cylinder. An automatic watering mechanism is provided between the inside and outside of the water tank.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5A standardized planting device for Chinese medicinal herbs includes multiple planting discs 1 arranged vertically and water tanks 3. The lower ends of the multiple planting discs 1 are all fixedly connected to a central cylinder 2. An automatic watering mechanism is provided between the inside and outside of the water tank 3.

[0025] The automatic watering mechanism includes a fixed frame 4 fixedly connected to the upper end of the water tank 3. A plate 6 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed frame 4. A bearing 8 is fixedly connected through the upper end of the plate 6. A rotating pipe 14 passing through the interior of multiple central cylinders 2 is fixedly connected inside the bearing 8. Multiple horizontal pipes 15 are connected to the outer wall of the rotating pipe 14. Multiple nozzles 16 are connected to the outer wall of each of the multiple horizontal pipes 15. A partition 5 is fixedly connected inside the fixed frame 4. A sealed rotary joint 7 with a rotating end connected to the rotating pipe 14 is fixedly connected through the upper end of the partition 5. A water pump 13 with a water outlet end connected to the fixed end of the sealed rotary joint 7 is installed at the upper end of the water tank 3. The water inlet end of the water pump 13 extends into the interior of the water tank 3 and is connected to a water suction pipe 17. An operation panel 19 and a PLC controller 20 are provided above the water tank 3. The automatic watering mechanism also includes a drive mechanism.

[0026] In this embodiment: When in use, the operator can set the watering interval, single watering duration, drive motor speed 12 and water pump 13 operating power on the operation panel 19. These parameters will be transmitted to the PLC controller 20. The PLC controller 20 will automatically trigger the watering program according to the set time interval. The grower does not need to pay attention to the watering time at all times, which can effectively avoid the problem of untimely or excessive watering and help the standardized cultivation of Chinese medicinal materials.

[0027] After the watering program is started, the PLC controller 20 controls the water pump 13 to start. The water pump 13 draws water from the water tank 3 through the water pipe 17. The water is delivered from the outlet of the water pump 13 to the fixed end of the sealed rotary joint 7, and then enters the rotating pipe 14 through the rotating end of the sealed rotary joint 7. At the same time, the PLC controller 20 controls the drive mechanism to start, which drives the rotating pipe 14 to rotate with the inner ring of the bearing 8 and the rotating end of the sealed rotary joint 7. Simultaneously, it drives multiple horizontal pipes 15 and multiple nozzles 16 to rotate synchronously. The multiple horizontal pipes 15 are located above multiple planting discs 1. After the water flows through the rotating pipe 14 into the horizontal pipes 15, it is finally sprayed out from the nozzles 16. The rotating nozzles 16 can spray the Chinese medicinal materials in the multiple planting discs 1 in all directions. The PLC controller 20 controls the water volume of a single watering by controlling the working time of the water pump 13. With the rotation and spraying of the nozzles 16, the watering uniformity can be improved, creating a stable growing environment for the Chinese medicinal materials to improve their growth quality.

[0028] After watering is completed, the PLC controller 20 controls the water pump 13 and drive motor 12 to stop working and wait for the next set time interval to restart the watering program.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the drive mechanism includes a rotating shaft 10 rotatably connected to the upper end of the partition 5, a driving gear 11 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 10, a driven gear 9 meshing with the driving gear 11 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating tube 14, and a drive motor 12 with its output end fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 10 installed at the lower end of the partition 5.

[0030] In this embodiment: the output end of the drive motor 12 drives the rotating shaft 10 and the drive gear 11 to rotate. Since the drive gear 11 is meshed with the driven gear 9, it drives the rotating tube 14 to rotate.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, multiple connecting frames 21 are fixedly connected between multiple planting discs 1, and support rods 22 are fixedly connected to the lower ends of multiple connecting frames 21. The multiple support rods 22 are fixedly connected to the flat plate 6.

[0032] In this embodiment: the multiple planting discs 1 are kept in a vertically distributed relative position by multiple connecting frames 21 that are fixedly connected. The support rod 22 at the lower end of the connecting frame 21 is fixed to the plate 6, thereby fixing the multiple planting discs 1 to the upper end of the plate 6.

[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the upper end of the water tank 3 is connected to a water inlet 23.

[0034] In this embodiment: the water inlet 23 at the top of the water tank 3 is used to replenish water to the inside of the water tank 3.

[0035] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the upper end of the water tank 3 is fixedly connected to the upright plate 18, and the operation panel 19 and PLC controller 20 are installed on the outer wall of the upright plate 18.

[0036] In this embodiment, the upright plate 18 facilitates the installation and fixing of the operation panel 19 and the PLC controller 20.

[0037] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the outer wall of the water inlet 23 is threadedly connected to a threaded cover 24, and the upper end of the threaded cover 24 is fixedly connected to a venting mesh plate.

[0038] In this embodiment, the threaded cap 24 and the venting mesh plate connected to the outer wall of the water inlet 23 can prevent impurities from entering the water tank 3, and the venting mesh plate can balance the air pressure inside and outside the water tank 3, so as to avoid the formation of negative pressure inside the water tank 3 when the water pump 13 is pumping water, which would affect the pumping efficiency.

[0039] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: When in use, the operator can set the watering interval, single watering duration, speed of drive motor 12 and operating power of water pump 13 on the operation panel 19. These parameters will be transmitted to PLC controller 20. PLC controller 20 will automatically trigger the watering program according to the set time interval. The grower does not need to pay attention to the watering time at all times, which can effectively avoid the problem of untimely or excessive watering and help the standardized cultivation of Chinese medicinal materials.

[0040] After the watering program starts, the PLC controller 20 controls the water pump 13 to start. The water pump 13 draws water from the water tank 3 through the water pipe 17. The water is delivered from the outlet of the water pump 13 to the fixed end of the sealed rotary joint 7, and then enters the rotating pipe 14 through the rotating end of the sealed rotary joint 7. At the same time, the PLC controller 20 controls the drive motor 12 to start. The output end of the drive motor 12 drives the rotating shaft 10 and the drive gear 11 to rotate. Since the drive gear 11 is meshed with the driven gear 9, the driven gear 9 drives the rotating pipe 14 along with the inner ring of the bearing 8 and the sealed rotary joint. The rotating end of 7 rotates, simultaneously driving multiple horizontal pipes 15 and multiple nozzles 16 to rotate synchronously. The multiple horizontal pipes 15 are located above multiple planting discs 1. Water flows through the rotating pipe 14 into the horizontal pipes 15 and finally sprays out from the nozzles 16. The rotating nozzles 16 can spray the Chinese medicinal materials in the multiple planting discs 1 in all directions. The PLC controller 20 controls the working time of the water pump 13 to accurately control the amount of water per watering. Combined with the rotating spray of the nozzles 16, it can improve the uniformity of watering and create a stable growing environment for Chinese medicinal materials to improve their growth quality.

[0041] After watering is completed, the PLC controller 20 controls the water pump 13 and drive motor 12 to stop working and wait for the next set time interval to restart the watering program.
