Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of passion fruit technology, specifically to a nighttime supplemental lighting device for passion fruit cultivation. Background Technology
[0002] Passion fruit originated in South America. Its juice has the aroma of various fruits such as peach, pomegranate, pineapple, mango, and banana, hence the name "passion fruit," meaning "fragrant fruit of a hundred kinds." Passion fruit is a perennial evergreen climbing vine. Its fruit is rich in 17 essential amino acids, including glutamic acid and lysine, as well as more than 160 beneficial components essential to the human body, such as various vitamins, carotenoids, and trace elements.
[0003] Since passion fruit is a tropical and subtropical fruit, it has a high requirement for sunlight. Throughout the cultivation process, growers usually use trellises for planting and management. The trellises are designed to better support the growth of the passion fruit vines, allowing them to climb and spread in an orderly manner.
[0004] However, as the passion fruit vines continue to grow and spread, they will gradually cover the entire trellis, forming a dense green barrier. This inevitably means that the passion fruit foliage will block the fruit below, making it difficult for the fruit to receive sufficient natural sunlight.
[0005] Insufficient sunlight not only affects the normal growth and development of passion fruit, but may also affect the color, taste and nutritional value of the fruit, thereby reducing the overall yield and quality.
[0006] Therefore, we propose a nighttime supplemental lighting device for passion fruit cultivation to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a nighttime supplemental lighting device for passion fruit cultivation, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:
[0009] A nighttime supplemental lighting device for passion fruit cultivation includes a cultivation rack, wherein ground rail structures are provided on both the front and rear sides of the cultivation rack, and a lighting structure is provided on the movable end of the ground rail structure.
[0010] The ground rail structure includes a drive frame, with reinforcing ribs fixedly installed on the inner side of the drive frame, a protective cover fixedly installed on the outer side of the drive frame, a sliding seat provided at the top of the drive frame, and a placement platform fixedly connected to the top of the sliding seat.
[0011] The lighting structure includes a mounting plate, an electric push rod hinged to the outer side of the mounting plate, a hinge rod hinged to the other end of the electric push rod, a hinge shaft provided at the other end of the hinge shaft, a mounting platform rotatably connected to the top end of the hinge shaft, and a supplementary light fixedly mounted on the top end of the mounting platform.
[0012] Furthermore, a contact plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the drive frame, and the bottom end of the drive frame is connected to the soil or other platform through the contact plate.
[0013] Furthermore, a slide rail is fixedly installed at the top of the drive frame, the slide rail is located inside the protective cover, and the top of the slide rail is slidably connected to the bottom of the sliding seat.
[0014] Furthermore, a drive motor is fixedly installed at the top of the sliding seat, and the output shaft of the drive motor extends to the bottom of the sliding seat and is fixedly installed with an abutment roller.
[0015] Furthermore, an abutment strip is fixedly connected to the inner side of the cultivation rack, and the back side of the abutment roller overlaps with the surface of the abutment strip.
[0016] Furthermore, the drive frame is fixedly fitted with plugs on its side ends, with two plugs located on both sides of the sliding seat.
[0017] Furthermore, a bottom shell is provided at the connection between the electric push rod and the hinge rod, and the bottom shell is located below the electric push rod.
[0018] Furthermore, a brake motor is fixedly installed on the inner side of the hinge shaft, a gear is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the brake motor, and a half-tooth disk is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the mounting platform, with the half-tooth disk meshing with the gear.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a nighttime supplemental lighting device for passion fruit cultivation, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] This invention utilizes a ground track structure and a lighting structure. The ground track structure drives the lighting structure to move back and forth diagonally below the cultivation rack, enabling the lighting structure to precisely and evenly supplement the passion fruit on the rack. This effectively solves the problem of insufficient localized light for passion fruit caused by layers of foliage blocking the light. It not only ensures that passion fruit can fully absorb natural light during the day, but also obtains sufficient supplemental light at night through artificial light sources. This comprehensively guarantees that passion fruit can enjoy ideal light conditions at different times of the day. Through all-round light support, it promotes the normal growth and healthy development of passion fruit, laying a solid foundation for improving its quality and yield. Attached Figure Description

[0026] 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. Example
[0027] like Figure 1-4 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a nighttime supplementary lighting device for passion fruit cultivation, including a cultivation rack 1. The cultivation rack 1 is provided with a ground rail structure 2 on both the front and rear sides, and a lighting structure 3 is provided at the movable end of the ground rail structure 2.
[0028] The ground track structure 2 includes a drive frame 201, a reinforcing rib 209 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the drive frame 201, a protective cover 211 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the drive frame 201, a sliding seat 204 is provided at the top of the drive frame 201, and a placement platform 205 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding seat 204.
[0029] The lighting structure 3 includes a mounting plate 301, an electric push rod 302 is hinged to the outer side of the mounting plate 301, a hinge rod 303 is hinged to the other end of the electric push rod 302, a hinge shaft 305 is provided at the other end of the hinge rod 303, a mounting platform 306 is rotatably connected to the top end of the hinge shaft 305, and a supplementary light 307 is fixedly installed on the top end of the mounting platform 306.
[0030] Furthermore, the device is equipped with a controller for controlling the operation of the entire supplemental lighting system. Through preset programs or instructions, the controller can precisely regulate the working status of the drive motor 206 in the ground track structure 2 and the electric push rod 302 and brake motor 308 in the lighting structure 3, thereby enabling precise movement of the lighting structure 3 below the cultivation rack 1 and flexible adjustment of the supplemental lighting 307.
[0031] The controller can be set to automatically adjust the supplemental lighting strategy according to the growth cycle, light requirements and external environmental conditions of passion fruit, such as adjusting the brightness, on and off time of the supplemental light 307, to ensure that passion fruit can obtain the most suitable light conditions at different growth stages.
[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom end of the drive frame 201 is fixedly connected to a contact plate 202, and the bottom end of the drive frame 201 is connected to the soil or other platform through the contact plate 202.
[0033] Specifically, the installation of the ground contact 202 increases the contact area between the ground rail structure 2 and the ground, thereby improving the stability of the entire device.
[0034] Meanwhile, the choice of material for the ground contact 202, such as using wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, can further extend the service life of the device and ensure its normal operation in harsh environments.
[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a slide rail 203 is fixedly installed on the top of the drive frame 201. The slide rail 203 is located inside the protective cover 211, and the top of the slide rail 203 is slidably connected to the bottom of the sliding seat 204.
[0036] Specifically, the slide rail 203 provides a stable moving path for the slide seat 204, ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the lighting structure 3 during the lateral movement.
[0037] Meanwhile, the cooperation between the slide rail 203 and the sliding seat 204 can also reduce frictional resistance during movement and improve the operating efficiency of the device.
[0038] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, a drive motor 206 is fixedly installed at the top of the sliding seat 204, the output shaft of the drive motor 206 extends to the bottom of the sliding seat 204 and is fixedly installed with an abutment roller 207, an abutment strip 208 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the cultivation rack 1, and the back side of the abutment roller 207 overlaps with the surface of the abutment strip 208.
[0039] Specifically, the drive motor 206 serves as the core power source for the movement of the sliding seat 204, providing it with stable and continuous power support.
[0040] By precisely controlling the start, stop, and speed adjustment of the drive motor 206, the contact roller 207 can be effectively made to start rotating.
[0041] During this process, a noticeable relative sliding phenomenon gradually forms between the contact roller 207 and the contact strip 208. It is this relative sliding force that enables the sliding seat 204 to move smoothly and precisely back and forth on the slide rail 203, thereby meeting the needs of adjusting the position of the sliding seat 204 during equipment operation.
[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a plug 210 is fixedly installed on the side end of the drive frame 201, and the two plugs 210 are located on both sides of the sliding seat 204 respectively.
[0043] Specifically, the plug 210 is mainly used to limit the sliding seat 204, preventing it from moving excessively on the slide rail 203 and derailing, thus ensuring the safety and stability of the entire device.
[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a bottom shell 304 is provided at the connection between the electric push rod 302 and the hinge rod 303, and the bottom shell 304 is located below the electric push rod 302.
[0045] Specifically, the base shell 304 mainly serves to protect the connection between the electric push rod 302 and the hinge rod 303, preventing the connection from being damaged due to long-term exposure, and improving the stability and durability of the entire lighting structure 3.
[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a brake motor 308 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the hinge shaft 305, a gear is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the brake motor 308, and a half-tooth disk 309 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the mounting platform 306, with the half-tooth disk 309 meshing with the gear.
[0047] Specifically, the brake motor 308, as the power source for adjusting the illumination angle of the lighting structure 3, provides a reliable guarantee for the entire adjustment process through its stable operation. When the brake motor 308 starts, the gear on its output shaft begins to rotate, meshing with the half-tooth disk 309 at the bottom of the mounting platform 306. Through the interaction between the gear and the half-tooth disk 309, the rotation angle of the mounting platform 306 can be precisely controlled, thereby adjusting the illumination direction of the supplementary light 307.
[0048] This allows for further adjustment of the illumination angle of the lighting structure 3, ensuring that the supplementary light 307 can be accurately aimed at the passion fruit, achieving a more uniform and comprehensive supplementary lighting effect.
[0049] In use, a light sensor is first installed on the cultivation rack 1. This light sensor is used to monitor the light intensity on the cultivation rack 1 in real time. When the light sensor detects that the light intensity is lower than the preset value, the supplemental lighting device will be automatically triggered.
[0050] Subsequently, the drive motor 206 in the ground rail structure 2 starts to work, causing the movable end of the drive motor 206 to drive the abutment roller 207 to rotate, causing the abutment roller 207 to start rolling on the abutment strip 208, thereby driving the entire sliding seat 204 to move smoothly and precisely back and forth on the slide rail 203.
[0051] At the same time, the electric push rod 302 in the lighting structure 3 begins to extend and retract, pushing the hinge rod 303 to rotate, thereby adjusting the tilt direction of the mounting platform 306 and the supplementary light 307 on it. When
[0052] After the lighting structure 3 moves to the preset position, the brake motor 308 starts and precisely adjusts the rotation angle of the mounting platform 306 through the meshing relationship between the gear and the half-tooth disc 309, so that the supplementary light 307 can be aimed at the passion fruit in the most suitable direction.
[0053] Throughout the supplemental lighting process, the controller continuously receives data feedback from the light sensor and fine-tunes parameters such as the brightness, illumination angle, and on / off time of the supplemental light 307 according to the actual situation to ensure that the passion fruit fruit can receive continuous and stable supplemental light.
[0054] In summary, through the ground track structure 2 and the lighting structure 3, the ground track structure 2 can drive the lighting structure 3 to move back and forth diagonally below the cultivation rack 1. This allows the lighting structure 3 to accurately and evenly supplement the passion fruit on the cultivation rack 1 with light, effectively solving the problem of insufficient local light caused by the layer of branches and leaves blocking the light on the passion fruit. This not only ensures that the passion fruit can fully absorb natural light during the day, but also obtain sufficient light supplementation through artificial light sources at night. This comprehensively guarantees that the passion fruit can enjoy ideal light conditions at different times. Through comprehensive light support, the normal growth and healthy development of the passion fruit are promoted, laying a solid foundation for improving its quality and yield.
[0055] It should be noted that the specific models and specifications of the drive motor 206, electric push rod 302, supplemental light 307, and brake motor 308 in the passion fruit cultivation nighttime supplemental lighting device need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail.
[0056] Furthermore, the power supply and operating principle of the drive motor 206, electric push rod 302, supplemental light 307, and brake motor 308 in the nighttime supplemental lighting device for passion fruit cultivation are clear to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0057] Furthermore, the working principles and wiring methods of the drive motor 206, electric push rod 302, supplemental light 307, and brake motor 308 in the nighttime supplemental lighting device for passion fruit cultivation are commonplace and belong to conventional methods or common knowledge. They will not be elaborated here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.
[0058] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
