Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydroponic leafy vegetable cultivation technology, specifically a plant cultivation and circulation system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, hydroponic leafy vegetable cultivation on the market all uses non-automated hydroponic leafy vegetable cultivation systems (NFT cultivation systems). Existing NFT cultivation systems all use a portal frame (formed by welding or rolling and bending round or square tubes) as the supporting framework for the cultivation trough. This type of portal frame can only be fixed to the floor or concrete block and cannot be moved. The cultivation trough is then placed on the portal frame. In this method, the length of the cultivation trough is typically between 20-30 meters, but the length of a single cultivation trough is generally within 6 meters. Therefore, this method requires a relatively high level of precision in the connection process between the cultivation troughs.

[0003] Meanwhile, existing NFT cultivation systems require passageways for growers and equipment, further wasting cultivation space. Furthermore, after the crops mature, the cultivation troughs need to be cleaned and recycled. Cleaning the troughs requires harvesting the crops, moving the cleaning machine to the troughs, using high-pressure spray guns to clean them, and then stacking the cleaned troughs for reuse in the next planting cycle. This process not only occupies a significant amount of space, further wasting cultivation space, but also requires considerable manpower, increasing planting costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a plant cultivation and transfer system that automates the process of recycling, cleaning, and planting in cultivation troughs, thereby reducing the waste of planting space and human resources. To achieve the above objective, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model discloses a plant cultivation circulation system, which is set around the periphery of a hydroponic plant cultivation device. It includes a feeding platform, a discharging platform, and a harvesting platform. The feeding platform and the discharging platform are respectively set on one side of the hydroponic plant cultivation device for feeding or discharging the cultivation trough. The harvesting platform is set between the feeding platform and the discharging platform, and the end of the harvesting platform is connected to the feeding platform and the discharging platform respectively, forming a circulation path for the feeding, discharging, and recycling process. Furthermore, a cleaning machine is installed at the end of the harvesting platform to clean the cultivation trough.

[0006] The feeding platform, unloading platform, and harvesting platform are respectively equipped with a number of first rollers, second rollers, and third rollers, and the feeding platform, unloading platform, and harvesting platform are respectively equipped with a first motor, a second motor, and a third motor to control the rotation of the first rollers, second rollers, and third rollers, thereby driving the cultivation trough to move in the circulation path.

[0007] The system includes several first, second, and third motors, which are installed at intervals on the first, second, and third roller shafts to control their rotation. The first roller shafts, the second roller shafts, and the third roller shafts are connected by a first synchronous belt, a second synchronous belt, and a third synchronous belt, respectively, thereby driving the other roller shafts to rotate synchronously.

[0008] In some other embodiments, one of each of the first, second, and third motors is provided, and a first, second, and third transmission rod are respectively mounted on each of the first, second, and third motors. The first, second, and third rollers are respectively connected to their corresponding first, second, and third transmission rods via a first, second, and third synchronous belt. The first, second, and third motors drive the first, second, and third rollers to rotate by controlling the rotation of the first, second, and third transmission rods.

[0009] Furthermore, a first transfer platform is provided between the harvesting platform and the loading platform. One end of the first transfer platform connected to the harvesting platform is fixed via a first rotating shaft, allowing the first transfer platform to rotate around the first rotating shaft and adjust the movement direction of the cultivation trough. A second transfer platform is provided between the harvesting platform and the unloading platform. One end of the second transfer platform connected to the unloading platform is fixed via a second rotating shaft, allowing the second transfer platform to rotate around the second rotating shaft and adjust the movement direction of the cultivation trough.

[0010] The first and second transfer platforms are respectively equipped with a number of fourth and fifth rollers, so that the cultivation trough can move on the first and second transfer platforms.

[0011] Furthermore, the first and second transfer platforms are respectively equipped with a plurality of fourth and sixth motors, which are respectively installed at intervals on the fourth and fifth rollers to control the rotation of the corresponding fourth and fifth rollers. The fourth rollers are connected to each other and the fifth rollers are connected to each other via fourth and fifth synchronous belts, thereby driving the other rollers to rotate synchronously.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the first transfer platform is equipped with a first guide wheel and a fifth motor. The fifth motor controls the movement of the first guide wheel, thereby driving the first transfer platform to rotate around a first rotating shaft. The bottom of the second transfer platform is equipped with a second guide wheel and a seventh motor. The seventh motor controls the movement of the second guide wheel, thereby driving the second transfer platform to rotate around a second rotating shaft.

[0013] Furthermore, the plant planting and circulation system further includes: a planting platform, one end of which is connected to the feeding platform, and the planting platform and the feeding platform are located on the same straight line. After the cultivation trough is planted on the planting platform, it is directly transported to the feeding platform for feeding. The planting platform is equipped with several sixth rollers to enable the cultivation trough to move on the planting platform.

[0014] Preferably, the planting platform is further equipped with a plurality of eighth motors, which are spaced apart on the sixth roller shafts to control the rotation of the corresponding sixth roller shafts. The sixth roller shafts are connected by a sixth synchronous belt, thereby driving the other roller shafts to rotate synchronously.

[0015] Furthermore, the loading platform and unloading platform are respectively equipped with a number of first servo mechanisms and second servo mechanisms to control the lifting and lowering of the cultivation trough. The servo mechanism is a motor or a cylinder.

[0016] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following effects:

[0017] 1. This utility model sets each step of the cultivation trough recycling, cleaning, and planting process around the perimeter of the planting device, forming a circular path for the feeding-unloading-recycling process, reducing the waste of planting space. Simultaneously, the rollers on each worktable transfer the cultivation trough within this circular path, automating the cultivation trough recycling and cleaning process and reducing the waste of human resources.

[0018] 2. This utility model adopts an integrated cultivation trough, which avoids water leakage due to substandard docking process between cultivation troughs. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0033] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 9As shown, this utility model discloses a plant cultivation circulation system, which is set around the hydroponic plant cultivation device 9. It includes: a feeding platform 1, a discharging platform 2, and a harvesting platform 3. The feeding platform 1 and the discharging platform 2 are respectively set on one side of the hydroponic plant cultivation device 9 for feeding or discharging the cultivation trough 91. The harvesting platform 3 is set between the feeding platform 1 and the discharging platform 2, and the end of the harvesting platform 3 is connected to the feeding platform 1 and the discharging platform 2 respectively, forming a circulation path for the feeding, discharging, and recycling process. A cleaning machine 7 is installed at the end of the harvesting platform 3 to clean the cultivation trough 91.

[0036] In this embodiment, the loading platform 1 and the unloading platform 2 are respectively equipped with a plurality of first servo mechanisms 15 and second servo mechanisms 25, wherein the first servo mechanisms 15 and the second servo mechanisms 25 are cylinders to control the lifting and lowering of the cultivation trough 91. In other embodiments, the first servo mechanisms 15 and the second servo mechanisms 25 may also be motors. Meanwhile, a packaging machine 8 is also provided on one side of the harvesting platform 3 to package the harvested crops.

[0037] Combination Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the loading platform 1, unloading platform 2 and harvesting platform 3 are respectively equipped with a number of first roller shafts 11, second roller shafts 21 and third roller shafts 31, and the loading platform 1, unloading platform 2 and harvesting platform 3 are respectively equipped with a first motor 12, a second motor 22 and a third motor 32 to control the rotation of the first roller shafts 11, the second roller shafts 21 and the third roller shafts 31, thereby driving the cultivation trough 91 to move in the circulation channel.

[0038] In this embodiment, several first motors 12, second motors 22, and third motors 32 are respectively provided, and the first motors 12, second motors 22, and third motors 32 are respectively installed at intervals on the first roller shaft 11, second roller shaft 21, and third roller shaft 31 to control the rotation of the corresponding first roller shaft 11, second roller shaft 21, and third roller shaft 31. The first roller shafts 11 are connected to each other, the second roller shafts 21 are connected to each other, and the third roller shafts 31 are connected to each other by the first synchronous belt 14, the second synchronous belt 24, and the third synchronous belt 34, respectively, thereby driving the other roller shafts to rotate synchronously.

[0039] Secondly, combining Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, a first transfer platform 4 is provided between the harvesting platform 3 and the feeding platform 1. The end of the first transfer platform 4 connected to the harvesting platform 3 is fixed by a first rotating shaft 41, so that the first transfer platform 4 can rotate around the first rotating shaft 41 to adjust the movement direction of the cultivation trough 91.

[0040] A second transfer platform 5 is provided between the harvesting platform 3 and the unloading platform 2. The end of the second transfer platform 5 connected to the unloading platform 2 is fixed by a second rotating shaft 51, so that the second transfer platform 5 can rotate around the second rotating shaft 51 to adjust the movement direction of the cultivation trough 91.

[0041] The first transfer platform 4 and the second transfer platform 5 are respectively equipped with several fourth rollers 42 and fifth rollers 52, so that the cultivation trough 91 can move on the first transfer platform 4 and the second transfer platform 5.

[0042] In this embodiment, a plurality of fourth motors 43 and sixth motors 53 are respectively provided on the first transfer table 4 and the second transfer table 5. The fourth motors 43 and sixth motors 53 are respectively installed at intervals on the fourth roller shaft 42 and the fifth roller shaft 52 to control the rotation of the corresponding fourth roller shaft 42 and fifth roller shaft 52. The fourth roller shafts 42 are connected to each other and the fifth roller shafts 52 are connected to each other by a fourth synchronous belt 44 and a fifth synchronous belt 54, thereby driving the other roller shafts to rotate synchronously.

[0043] In other embodiments, by shortening the lengths of the first transfer platform 4 and the second transfer platform 5 to be less than the length of the cultivation trough 91, it is not necessary to install additional motors on the first transfer platform 4 and the second transfer platform 5 to drive the fourth roller shaft 42 and the fifth roller shaft 52 to rotate. When the cultivation trough 91 moves onto the first transfer platform 4 or the second transfer platform 5, since the lengths of the first transfer platform 4 and the second transfer platform 5 are less than the cultivation trough 91, a section of the cultivation trough 91 will protrude. After the first transfer platform 4 or the second transfer platform 5 adjusts its direction, the protruding section of the cultivation trough 91 can be directly placed on the harvesting platform 3 or other worktable, and continue to move under the drive of the roller shafts on the harvesting platform 3 or other worktable.

[0044] Meanwhile, a first guide wheel 45 and a fifth motor 46 are installed at the bottom of the first transfer platform 4. The fifth motor 46 controls the movement of the first guide wheel 45, thereby driving the first transfer platform 4 to rotate around the first rotating shaft 41. A second guide wheel 55 and a seventh motor 56 are installed at the bottom of the second transfer platform 5. The seventh motor 56 controls the movement of the second guide wheel 55, thereby driving the second transfer platform 5 to rotate around the second rotating shaft 51. In other embodiments, only the first guide wheel 45 and the second guide wheel 55 are installed at the bottom of the first transfer platform 4 and the second transfer platform 5, respectively, and the first transfer platform 4 and the second transfer platform 5 are rotated around the first rotating shaft 41 and the second rotating shaft 51, respectively, by manual pushing.

[0045] In this embodiment, the cultivation trough 91 is transferred from the hydroponic plant planting device 9 to the unloading platform 2. After unloading, the cultivation trough 91 moves under the drive of the second roller shaft 21 on the unloading platform 2. When the cultivation trough 91 moves to the second transfer platform 5, the second transfer platform 5 rotates 90° under the control of the seventh motor 56. Then, the cultivation trough 91 moves to the harvesting platform 3 under the drive of the third roller shaft 31 on the harvesting platform 3 for harvesting.

[0046] After harvesting, the cultivation trough 91 continues to move under the drive of the third roller shaft 31 and is cleaned by the washing machine 7. Then, the cultivation trough 91 moves to the first transfer platform 4, which rotates 90° under the control of the fifth motor 46, so that a space is formed between the first transfer platform 4 and the loading platform 1 for stacking the cleaned cultivation trough 91.

[0047] When the fifth motor 46 controls the movement of the first guide wheel 45, thereby causing the first transfer platform 4 to rotate around the first rotating shaft 41, the fourth motor 43 stops running, causing the cultivation trough 91 to remain on the first transfer platform 4. After the first transfer platform 4 adjusts its direction, the fourth motor 43 continues to run. When the seventh motor 56 controls the movement of the second guide wheel 55, thereby causing the second transfer platform 5 to rotate around the second rotating shaft 51, the sixth motor 53 stops running, causing the cultivation trough 91 to remain on the second transfer platform 5. After the second transfer platform 5 adjusts its direction, the sixth motor 53 continues to run.

[0048] In addition, in this embodiment, the hydroponic plant planting and transfer system also includes: a planting platform 6, one end of which is connected to the feeding platform 1, and the planting platform 6 and the feeding platform 1 are located on the same straight line. After the cultivation trough 91 is planted on the planting platform 6, it is directly transported to the feeding platform 1 for feeding. The planting platform 6 is provided with several sixth rollers 61 so that the cultivation trough 91 can move on the planting platform 6.

[0049] Furthermore, the planting platform 6 is also equipped with several eighth motors 62, which are spaced apart on the sixth roller shafts 61 to control the rotation of the corresponding sixth roller shafts 61. The sixth roller shafts 61 are connected to each other by a sixth synchronous belt 63, thereby driving the other roller shafts to rotate synchronously.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the first motor 12, the second motor 22, and the third motor 32 of the loading platform 1, the unloading platform 2, and the harvesting platform 3 drive the first roller shaft 11, the second roller shaft 21, and the third roller shaft 31 in different ways.

[0052] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, in this embodiment, one first motor 12, one second motor 22, and one third motor 32 are respectively provided, and a first transmission rod 13, a second transmission rod 23, and a third transmission rod 33 are respectively installed on the first motor 12, the second motor 22, and the third motor 32. The first roller shaft 11, the second roller shaft 21, and the third roller shaft 31 are respectively connected to the corresponding first transmission rod 13, the second transmission rod 23, and the third transmission rod 33 through the first synchronous belt 14, the second synchronous belt 24, and the third synchronous belt 34.

[0053] The first motor 12, the second motor 22, and the third motor 32 control the rotation of the first transmission rod 13, the second transmission rod 23, and the third transmission rod 33, respectively, thereby driving the first roller shaft 11, the second roller shaft 21, and the third roller shaft 31 to rotate.

[0054] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the fourth roller 42, fifth roller 52, and sixth roller 61 on the first transfer platform 4, the second transfer platform 5, and the planting platform 6 are also driven to rotate via transmission rods using the aforementioned method, thereby reducing the number of motors required. However, driving multiple rollers with a single motor is relatively unstable. As the distance between the roller and the motor increases, there is a significant delay in the rotation of the roller, leading to asynchronous rotation of the rollers.

[0055] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
