Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orchid cultivation rack technology, specifically a folding and fixing device for an orchid cultivation rack. Background Technology

[0002] An orchid cultivation rack is a structure specifically designed to support and display orchid plants. It is commonly used in home balconies, greenhouses, or professional growing environments to provide an ideal growing space for orchids. Below are some of the main functions and features of orchid cultivation racks. Through vertical or multi-tiered designs, cultivation racks can accommodate more potted orchids in a limited space, improving space utilization. Cultivation racks make daily management tasks such as watering, fertilizing, and pruning more convenient, while also facilitating observation and care of each orchid. A well-designed rack ensures that each orchid receives ample air circulation and even light, promoting healthy plant growth.

[0003] Most common orchid cultivation racks use a fixed structure design, with their height and width determined during manufacturing. This makes it impossible to flexibly adjust them according to actual planting needs. This structural limitation means that they cannot meet the diverse space requirements of different orchid varieties at different growth stages. For example, orchid seedlings are smaller and require relatively compact space, while mature orchids need more space to ensure ventilation and light. In addition, different orchid varieties, such as Oncidium, Phalaenopsis, Dendrobium, and Paphiopedilum, have significant differences in plant shape and different requirements for the height, width, and spacing of the cultivation rack. Traditional cultivation racks, lacking adjustment functions, often result in wasted space or overcrowding, which affects the healthy growth of orchids. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a folding and fixing device for orchid cultivation racks. By adopting a three-level nested sliding structure, combined with positioning holes and a locking mechanism, the height can be adjusted in multiple positions. The width can be adjusted by the threaded transmission of the screw and the screw cylinder combined with the knob control, so as to meet the space requirements of different orchid varieties at different growth stages. This solves the problem that common cultivation racks often waste space or are placed too crowdedly due to the lack of adjustment function, which affects the healthy growth of orchids.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a folding and fixing device for an orchid cultivation rack, comprising a fixing plate, wherein two fixing plates are provided; further comprising two support rods disposed at the lower end of the fixing plate, wherein universal wheels are installed at the lower end of the support rods, and width adjustment components are respectively provided at the lower end of the two fixing plates;

[0006] The upper end of the fixed plate is equipped with a height adjustment component, and a locking component is installed on the height adjustment component. The width adjustment component is used to adjust the overall width of the cultivation rack, the height adjustment component is used to adjust the overall height of the cultivation rack, and the locking component is used to lock the current height of the cultivation rack.

[0007] Furthermore, the width adjustment assembly includes a connecting plate disposed at the lower end of the fixed plate, a screw rod rotatably mounted on the right end face of the left connecting plate, a screw cylinder fixed on the left end face of the right connecting plate, and a knob mounted on the left end of the screw rod, the knob being used to drive the screw rod to rotate.

[0008] Furthermore, the screw barrel and screw rod are connected by threads. The screw rod rotates inside the screw barrel to convert the rotational motion into linear motion. The screw rod and screw barrel are used to adjust the width of the device.

[0009] Furthermore, the height adjustment assembly includes a primary fixing cylinder disposed at the upper end of the fixing plate, a secondary fixing cylinder installed inside the primary fixing cylinder, and a tertiary fixing cylinder installed inside the secondary fixing cylinder. The primary fixing cylinder is used to accommodate the secondary fixing cylinder, the secondary fixing cylinder is used to accommodate the tertiary fixing cylinder, and multiple fixing holes are provided on the outer surfaces of both the secondary and tertiary fixing cylinders.

[0010] Furthermore, the first-stage, second-stage, and third-stage fixed cylinders are all square. The first-stage and second-stage fixed cylinders are slidably connected, and the second-stage and third-stage fixed cylinders are also slidably connected. The square shape serves as a limit for the sliding connection between the second-stage and third-stage fixed cylinders.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer sides of the first-stage, second-stage, and third-stage fixing cylinders are each provided with three placement plates, and the upper surface of the placement plates is provided with placement grooves. The placement plates are used to place the planting pots.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 The orchid cultivation rack folding and fixing device in this embodiment includes a fixing plate 1, and two fixing plates 1 are provided; it also includes two support rods 2 provided at the lower end of the fixing plate 1, the lower end of the support rods 2 is equipped with casters 3, and the lower end of the two fixing plates 1 is provided with width adjustment components.

[0024] In this embodiment, the device adopts a three-level nested sliding structure, with positioning holes and locking mechanism to achieve multi-level height adjustment. The width adjustment is controlled by the screw 15 and the screw barrel 17 through the screw thread transmission and the knob 16, which meets the space requirements of different orchid varieties at different growth stages. At the same time, the cultivation rack supports folding or shrinking design, which can reduce the volume when not in use, making it easy to place against the wall or store, improving portability and transportation convenience, and reducing the difficulty and cost of handling.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, in order to achieve height and width adjustment, the upper end of the fixed plate 1 is provided with a height adjustment component, and a locking component is installed on the height adjustment component. The width adjustment component is used to adjust the overall width of the cultivation rack, the height adjustment component is used to adjust the overall height of the cultivation rack, and the locking component is used to lock the current height of the cultivation rack.

[0026] In this embodiment, the fixing plate 1 is the main support structure of the device. The two fixing plates 1 are respectively connected to the height and width adjustment components. The height adjustment component realizes the overall height adjustment of the cultivation rack through the nested cylinder 8. The locking component is used to fix the height after adjustment to prevent slippage. The width adjustment component drives the two side structures to move through the threaded transmission of the screw 15 and the screw cylinder 17 to achieve precise adjustment of the overall width. The universal wheel 3 is installed at the lower end of the support rod 2 to facilitate the movement of the device. The placement plate 12 is used to support the orchid pots and improve the planting stability. All components work together to realize the flexible adjustment and reliable fixation of the height and width of the cultivation rack, adapting to different spaces and growth needs.

[0027] It should be noted that the primary fixing cylinder 4, the secondary fixing cylinder 5, and the tertiary fixing cylinder 7 are all square. The primary fixing cylinder 4 and the secondary fixing cylinder 5 are slidably connected, and the secondary fixing cylinder 5 and the tertiary fixing cylinder 7 are also slidably connected. The square shape serves as a limit for the sliding connection between the secondary fixing cylinder 5 and the tertiary fixing cylinder 7. The primary, secondary, and tertiary fixing cylinders 7 are all square structures used to achieve nested sliding and provide height adjustment. The square design limits the cylinder body during sliding, prevents rotation, and enhances structural stability. The secondary fixing cylinder 5 is slidably connected to the primary fixing cylinder 4 and the tertiary fixing cylinder 7 respectively, realizing multi-stage height adjustment. Each fixing cylinder is used in conjunction with a locking component to ensure the structure is firm after adjustment.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-5In this embodiment, the cultivation rack is designed to be retractable to reduce the difficulty and cost of handling. The width adjustment component in this embodiment includes a connecting plate 14 located at the lower end of the fixed plate 1, a screw 15 rotatably mounted on the right end face of the left connecting plate 14, a screw cylinder 17 fixed on the left end face of the right connecting plate 14, and a knob 16 mounted on the left end of the screw 15. The knob 16 is used to drive the screw 15 to rotate. The screw cylinder 17 is threadedly connected to the screw 15. The screw 15 rotates inside the screw cylinder 17 to convert the rotational motion into linear motion. The screw 15 and the screw cylinder 17 are used to adjust the width of the device. The height adjustment component includes a primary fixed cylinder 4 located at the upper end of the fixed plate 1, a secondary fixed cylinder 5 installed inside the primary fixed cylinder 4, and a tertiary fixed cylinder 7 installed inside the secondary fixed cylinder 5. The primary fixed cylinder 4 is used to accommodate the secondary fixed cylinder 5, and the secondary fixed cylinder 5 is used to accommodate the tertiary fixed cylinder 7. The outer surfaces of the secondary fixed cylinder 5 and the tertiary fixed cylinder 7 are provided with multiple fixing holes 6.

[0029] In this embodiment, the connecting plate 14 serves as the mounting base for the width adjustment structure, connecting the fixing plate 1 and the adjustment component. The screw 15 achieves linear displacement through rotation, causing the structures on both sides to move closer or further apart, thus adjusting the overall width. The screw cylinder 17 cooperates with the screw 15 to form a threaded transmission, converting the rotational motion into linear motion. The knob 16 is used to manually drive the screw 15 to rotate, realizing the width adjustment operation. The first-level fixing cylinder 4 serves as the basic part of the height adjustment structure, accommodating the second-level fixing cylinder 5. The second-level fixing cylinder 5 is nested inside the first-level fixing cylinder 4, and can slide up and down to accommodate the third-level fixing cylinder 7. The third-level fixing cylinder 7 is nested inside the second-level fixing cylinder 5, realizing the outermost layer's height adjustment function. The fixing hole 6 is located on the outside of the second-level and third-level fixing cylinders 7, used to cooperate with the locking component for height positioning.

[0030] It should be noted that three placement plates 12 are provided on the outer sides of the first-stage fixing cylinder 4, the second-stage fixing cylinder 5, and the third-stage fixing cylinder 7. The upper surface of the placement plate 12 is provided with a placement groove 13. The placement plate 12 is used to place the pot. The locking assembly includes a sleeve 8 respectively provided on the inner side of the second-stage fixing cylinder 5 and the third-stage fixing cylinder 7, a fixing rod 9 installed inside the sleeve 8, a circular plate 10 fixed on the outside of the fixing rod 9, a spring 18 movably sleeved on the outside of the fixing rod 9, and a handle 11 installed on the end of the fixing rod 9 away from the second-stage fixing cylinder 5. The handle 11 is used to pull the fixing rod 9 to slide towards the handle 11. The spring 18 is used to apply a pushing force to the circular plate 10 to reset the fixing rod 9. The fixing rod 9 is used to insert into the fixing hole 6.

[0031] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0032] In use, the device achieves height adjustment through a nested sliding structure of a primary fixed cylinder 4, a secondary fixed cylinder 5, and a tertiary fixed cylinder 7. All three fixed cylinders are square in design and nested together. The secondary fixed cylinder 5 can slide within the primary fixed cylinder 4, and the tertiary fixed cylinder 7 can slide within the secondary fixed cylinder 5, thus achieving multi-level height adjustment. Multiple fixing holes 6 are provided on the outer sides of the secondary and tertiary fixed cylinders 7, and locking components are installed on the inner sides, including a sleeve 8, a fixing rod 9, a spring 18, a circular plate 10, and a handle 11. When height locking is required, the fixing rod 9 is inserted into the corresponding fixing hole 6 to fix the height. When adjustment is needed, pulling the handle 11 causes the fixing rod 9 to exit the fixing hole 6. Releasing the handle pushes the spring 18 back to its original position, achieving quick locking. Width adjustment is also possible. The screw 15 and the screw barrel 17 are connected by a threaded transmission structure. Rotating the knob 16 drives the screw 15 to rotate. The screw 15 and the screw barrel 17 work together to convert the rotational motion into linear motion, thereby moving the left and right sides closer or further apart. This allows for precise adjustment of the overall width of the cultivation rack. By adjusting the width and height to the minimum, the entire cultivation rack can be gradually retracted or folded, significantly reducing its volume and making it easy to place against a wall or store, thus improving portability and transportation convenience. Two fixed plates 1 serve as the main support structure, connecting the height and width adjustment components. The bottom is equipped with a support rod 2 and casters 3, which allow the device to move flexibly after adjustment to adapt to different placement environments. Each fixed barrel has a placement plate 12 and a placement groove 13 on its outer side to stably support the orchid pots and prevent them from tipping over.

[0033] It should be noted that the control method of this utility model is controlled by a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by those skilled in the art through simple programming. The power supply is also common knowledge in the field. Furthermore, this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail here.
