Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vernalization chamber technology, and in particular to a multi-layer three-dimensional vernalization chamber. Background Technology
[0002] A multi-layered vernalization chamber is a facility used for vernalization treatment of plants. It adopts a multi-layered three-dimensional frame structure and achieves low-temperature environment control through a precise temperature control system. Its core is to set up multiple planting areas in the vertical space, with each layer capable of independently placing plant trays. It is equipped with a refrigeration unit, a PLC control system, and ventilation and humidity control devices. The low-temperature treatment time can be set according to the needs of the crop. This facility is mainly used for breeding, off-season cultivation, and large-scale seedling production of crops that require low-temperature induction of flowering, such as winter wheat, tulips, and cabbage.
[0003] The existing multi-layer vernalization chambers do not have a multi-layer folding structure, which has obvious limitations when it is necessary to place tall plants with large canopies (such as large woody flowers, fruit tree seedlings, etc.): the fixed layer spacing cannot be flexibly adjusted. If the height of the plant exceeds the single-layer space limit, the plant must either be split up, resulting in growth damage, or the multi-layer use must be abandoned and the single-layer space is occupied, resulting in low facility utilization.
[0004] Therefore, in view of the limitations of existing multi-layer vernalization chambers, which lack multi-layer folding structures and cannot flexibly adjust the fixed layer spacing when placing taller plants or plants with larger canopies (such as large woody flowers and fruit tree seedlings), resulting in the problem that when the height of the plants exceeds the single-layer space, either the plants are split up and damaged, or the single-layer space is occupied, reducing the utilization rate of the facility, there is an urgent need to design a new type of multi-layer vernalization chamber. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the limitations of existing multi-layer vernalization chambers, which lack multi-layer folding structures, when placing taller or larger plants (such as large woody flowering plants and fruit tree seedlings), the fixed layer spacing cannot be flexibly adjusted. This results in the plant height exceeding the single-layer space, leading to either damage to the plant from dismantling or reduced facility utilization due to the occupation of single-layer space.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a multi-layer three-dimensional vernalization chamber, including a protective shell and an insulation layer installed inside the protective shell. A reinforcing layer is connected inside the insulation layer. Multiple storage slots are opened on the left and right sides inside the reinforcing layer. Rotating blocks are rotatably connected to the front and rear sides inside the storage slots. A rotating rod is connected between two rotating blocks. A placement plate is connected to the top of the rotating blocks. Placement slots are opened on the front and rear sides of the top of the placement plate. Drainage slots are opened inside the placement slots. An auxiliary frame is hinged to the front end of the two placement plates. A knob is rotatably connected to the upper position of the storage slot on the left and right sides of the reinforcing layer through damping. A baffle is connected to the outer end of the knob. The baffle is movably connected to the placement plate. The auxiliary frame drives the two placement plates to rotate through the rotating blocks. When the placement plate enters the storage slot, the knob is rotated. The rotation of the knob causes the baffle to abut against the placement plate.
[0007] Preferably, by setting up a rotatable placement board, storage slot, and knob baffle structure, the vernalization chamber space can be flexibly adjusted and efficiently utilized. When large plants need to be placed, the operator can push the auxiliary frame to rotate the placement board around the rotating block, folding the placement boards on both sides upwards into the storage slot of the reinforcement layer, releasing a complete three-dimensional space to accommodate taller plants with larger canopies, avoiding space waste caused by fixed layer spacing. When multi-layer placement is required, the placement board is rotated out of the storage slot and unfolded, and the knob is rotated to make the baffle abut against the placement board, using damping characteristics to fix its position, ensuring the placement board is stable under load and preventing tilting or shaking. In addition, the placement slot and drainage slot design on the placement board can not only stabilize the plant container but also drain excess water in time. Combined with the insulation layer and reinforcement layer, it can significantly improve the vernalization chamber's adaptability to plants of different sizes while ensuring a stable vernalization environment.
[0008] Preferably, the top of the protective shell is connected to a top plate, and the top plate has an air inlet slot inside.
[0009] Preferably, a fan is installed at the rear end of the top plate, and an air outlet is provided on the lower rear side of the protective shell.
[0010] Preferably, fluorescent lights are connected to the bottom left and right sides of the top plate, and a protective door is provided on the front side of the protective shell.
[0011] Preferably, the lower front end of the protective shell is connected to a step, and water channels are provided on the left and right sides of the lower inner side of the reinforcement layer.
[0012] Preferably, the water inlet channel is inclined, and the front end of the protective shell has a drain outlet corresponding to the position of the water inlet channel.
[0013] Preferably, the water flows through the drain trough into the water inlet trough, and the inclined water inlet trough leads the water out through the drain outlet.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. By incorporating a rotatable placement board, storage slots, and a knob-operated baffle structure, when taller plants with larger canopies need to be placed, the operator simply pushes the auxiliary frame to rotate the placement board around the rotating block, folding it upwards and storing it in the storage slot of the reinforced layer, quickly releasing complete three-dimensional space. This design completely breaks the limitations of the fixed layer spacing in traditional vernalization chambers, avoiding the problem of insufficient space to accommodate large plants or the forced abandonment of multiple layers resulting in low utilization. It allows the vernalization chamber to flexibly adapt to various plant sizes, significantly improving space utilization efficiency and the diversity of usage scenarios. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides an embodiment: a multi-layer three-dimensional vernalization chamber, including a protective shell 1 and an insulation layer 21 installed inside the protective shell 1. A reinforcing layer 22 is connected inside the insulation layer 21. Multiple storage slots 23 are formed on the left and right sides inside the reinforcing layer 22. Rotating blocks 24 are rotatably connected to the front and rear sides inside the storage slots 23. A rotating rod 25 is connected between two rotating blocks 24. A placement plate 26 is connected to the top of the rotating blocks 24. Placement slots 27 are formed on the front and rear sides of the top of the placement plate 26. Drainage slots 28 are formed inside the placement slots 27. An auxiliary frame 29 is hinged to the front ends of the two placement plates 26. Knobs 210 are rotatably connected to the upper positions of the storage slots 23 on the left and right sides of the reinforcing layer 22 via damping. A baffle 211 is connected to the outer end of the knob 210. The baffle 211 is movably connected to the placement plate 26. The auxiliary frame 29 drives the two placement plates 26 to rotate via the rotating blocks 24, so that the placement plates 26 enter the storage slots 23. Inside, rotating knob 210 causes baffle 211 to press against placement plate 26. By setting up a rotatable placement plate 26, storage slot 23, and knob 210 and baffle 211 structure, flexible adjustment and efficient utilization of vernalization chamber space can be achieved. When large plants need to be placed, the operator can push auxiliary frame 29 to rotate placement plate 26 around rotating block 24, folding the two side placement plates 26 upwards into storage slot 23 of reinforcing layer 22, releasing complete three-dimensional space to accommodate taller plants with larger canopies, avoiding space waste caused by fixed layer spacing. When multi-layer placement needs to be restored, placement plate 26 is rotated out of storage slot 23 and unfolded. Rotating knob 210 causes baffle 211 to press against placement plate 26, using damping characteristics to fix its position, ensuring stable load-bearing of placement plate 26 and preventing tilting or shaking. In addition, the placement slot 27 and drainage slot 28 on placement plate 26 can stabilize plant containers.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment, excess moisture can be discharged in time. In conjunction with the insulation layer 21 and the reinforcement layer 22, the vernalization chamber can be significantly improved to adapt to plants of different sizes while ensuring a stable vernalization environment. The top of the protective shell 1 is connected to a top plate 31. An air inlet slot 32 is opened inside the top plate 31. A fan 33 is set at the rear end of the top plate 31. An air outlet 34 is opened on the lower rear end of the protective shell 1. Fluorescent lamps 35 are connected to the left and right sides of the bottom of the top plate 31. A protective door 36 is set at the front of the protective shell 1. The fan 33 introduces outside air into the vernalization chamber through the air inlet slot 32 and then discharges it through the air outlet 34 to form an air circulation, ensuring uniform temperature and humidity in the chamber and avoiding local temperature differences from affecting the vernalization effect. The fluorescent lamps 35 provide stable light to meet the photoperiod requirements of plants during vernalization. The protective door 36 facilitates personnel entry and exit and the handling of plant materials. At the same time, in conjunction with the protective shell 1 and the top plate 31, it maintains the airtightness of the vernalization chamber, reduces heat loss, and ensures a stable vernalization environment.
[0025] Please see Figures 2-5 In this embodiment, a step 37 is connected to the lower front side of the protective shell 1. Water channels 38 are provided on the left and right sides of the lower side inside the reinforcing layer 22. The water channels 38 are inclined. A drain outlet 39 is provided at the front of the protective shell 1 corresponding to the position of the water channel 38. Water flows through the drain channel 28 and falls into the water channel 38. The inclined water channel 38 leads the water out through the drain outlet 39. The step 37 facilitates the entry and exit of operators in the vernalization chamber, making it easier and safer to move plant materials. The inclined water channel 38 and the drain outlet 39 constitute an efficient drainage system. Excess water generated during plant maintenance flows into the water channel 38 through the drain channel 28 on the placement plate 26, and is then quickly discharged outdoors by gravity, avoiding water accumulation in the vernalization chamber, which leads to excessive humidity and mold growth, and ensuring the long-term safe operation of the vernalization chamber.
[0026] During operation, in the plant placement stage, the operator can flexibly adjust the space according to the plant size. For large plants, pushing the auxiliary frame 29 causes the placement board 26 to rotate around the rotating block 24, folding the two placement boards 26 upwards into the storage slot 23 of the reinforcing layer 22, releasing complete three-dimensional space. Turning the knob 210 causes the baffle 211 to press against the placement board 26, fixing the folded state and releasing complete three-dimensional space. For small plants, the placement board 26 is rotated out of the storage slot 23 and unfolded. Turning the knob 210 again releases the restriction on the placement board 26, then pulling the auxiliary frame 29 outwards unfolds the two placement boards 26. The placement slots 27 and drainage slots 28 on the placement boards 26 stabilize the plant container, promptly drain excess water, and prevent water accumulation from affecting plant growth. Regarding environmental control, the insulation layer 21 of the vernalization chamber uses polyurethane foam material, which has low thermal conductivity, excellent insulation performance, and is waterproof and moisture-proof. Combined with the reinforcing layer 22, it effectively maintains... To maintain a stable indoor temperature, the fan 33 draws outside air into the vernalization chamber through the air inlet slot 32 of the top plate 31, and then exhausts it through the air outlet 34 on the lower rear side of the protective shell 1, forming an air circulation to ensure uniform indoor temperature and humidity and prevent local temperature differences from affecting the vernalization effect. The fluorescent lamp 35 at the bottom of the top plate 31 provides stable lighting to meet the photoperiod requirements of plant vernalization. In addition, the drainage and safety design of the vernalization chamber also plays an important role. Excess water generated by plant maintenance falls into the water inlet slot 38 set at the lower side of the reinforcing layer 22 through the drainage slot 28, and then is quickly discharged to the outside through the drain outlet 39 at the front end of the protective shell 1, preventing excessive indoor humidity from breeding mold. The step 37 on the lower front side of the protective shell 1 facilitates the entry and exit of operators into the vernalization chamber, making it easier and safer to move plant materials. The protective door 36 facilitates personnel entry and exit and the handling of plant materials, and at the same time, it works closely with the protective shell 1 and the top plate 31 to maintain the airtightness of the vernalization chamber, reduce heat loss, and create a stable and suitable environment for plant vernalization.
[0027] Through the above steps, and through the linkage design of the rotatable placement plate 26, the storage slot 23, the knob 210, and the baffle 211, the operator can push the auxiliary frame 29 to drive the placement plate 26 to fold around the rotating block 24 and store it into the storage slot 23 of the reinforcing layer 22, thus freeing up three-dimensional space. This structure breaks through the limitations of the fixed layer spacing of traditional vernalization chambers, which can accommodate large plants and avoid space idleness, significantly improving the space utilization and application flexibility of vernalization chambers. This solves the problem that existing multi-layer three-dimensional vernalization chambers, due to the lack of a multi-layer folding structure, have a fixed layer spacing that cannot be flexibly adjusted when placing taller plants or plants with larger canopies (such as large woody flowers and fruit tree seedlings). This results in the plant height exceeding the single-layer space, which either damages the plant or occupies a single-layer space, reducing the utilization rate of the facility.
