Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of greenhouse cultivation technology, and in particular to a multi-layer solanaceous vegetable cultivation system. Background Technology

[0002] Semi-enclosed greenhouses have been widely used in the cultivation of high-value-added crops and industrialized agriculture in recent years. However, their utilization rate remains low. Taking cluster tomatoes, a type of solanaceous fruit, as an example, most advanced semi-enclosed greenhouse systems currently use fixed planting modules. For instance, with a 9-meter span, considering the need for passageways for harvesting and pruning, a maximum of five rows can be planted. However, indeterminate cluster tomatoes require only 80-100 centimeters of spacing between rows to meet their growth requirements. A 9-meter span could accommodate ten rows, resulting in wasted planting space and low space utilization. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on this, in order to improve the space utilization rate in the greenhouse planting process, this application provides a multi-layer solanaceous vegetable planting system, including: a greenhouse body, a first planting layer, a second planting layer and a transmission device are provided in the greenhouse body, the first planting layer and the second planting layer are provided with a plurality of planting modules arranged at intervals, and the transmission device drives the planting modules to circulate within the first planting layer and the second planting layer.

[0004] Preferably, the transmission device includes a horizontal transmission device and a vertical transmission device, wherein the horizontal transmission device drives the planting module to move horizontally, and the vertical transmission device drives the planting module to move vertically.

[0005] Preferably, the lateral conveying device includes a first lateral conveying device and a second lateral conveying device, and the longitudinal conveying device includes a lifting device and a lowering device.

[0006] Preferably, the first lateral conveying device and the second lateral conveying device move in opposite directions.

[0007] Preferably, operation areas are provided on both sides of the length direction of the first or second planting layer located below, for operators to operate on the plants near the operation areas.

[0008] Preferably, the planting module includes a side support frame, a bottom support frame, and guide wheels, with a planting trough provided between the side support frame and the bottom support frame.

[0009] Preferably, the planting module is placed on the transverse transmission device, the planting module is provided with a side support frame, and the top and bottom of the side support frame are provided with guide devices, which are movably mounted on the crossbar.

[0010] Preferably, the planting module moves cyclically under the drive of the horizontal transmission device and the vertical transmission device.

[0011] Preferably, the transverse transmission device includes an upper guide rail, a lower guide rail, and a transmission module.

[0012] Preferably, a waste liquid recovery tank is provided on the side of the lower guide rail for recovering irrigation waste liquid.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this application are:

[0014] (1) This application replaces the traditional long planting trough with a short planting module and sets up a horizontal and vertical transmission device for the planting module, thereby further reducing the crop row spacing, i.e. the distance between planting modules, and increasing the number of crops planted, while allowing the operator to complete harvesting, thinning, and leaf removal at both ends of the planting module.

[0015] (2) The transmission device is divided into a horizontal transmission device and a vertical transmission device. The horizontal transmission device allows each planting module to move horizontally closer to the operator. The vertical transmission device is divided into a lifting device and a lowering device, which can also change the crop on the two planting modules.

[0016] (3) The planting module is equipped with a bottom support frame, side support frame, guide wheels and planting trough. The planting module can be placed between the upper and lower guide rails and moved horizontally in a stable manner through the horizontal transmission device. It can also be used as a hanging and dropping device for plant growth, which improves the utilization rate. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely one embodiment of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be understood that the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first," "second," and "third," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Moreover, the terms "comprising" and "being," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0026] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a multi-layer solanaceous vegetable planting system, including a greenhouse body 1. The greenhouse body 1 is typically constructed of steel structure materials. Taking solanaceous vegetables as an example, two planting layers are set in the vertical direction within the greenhouse body 1 to make full use of the space inside the greenhouse. Specifically, the planting layers include a first planting layer 2 and a second planting layer 3. In this embodiment, the second planting layer 3 is located above the first planting layer 2. The solanaceous vegetables are planted in planting modules containing planting troughs. In this embodiment, the solanaceous plants can meet their growth requirements with a spacing of 80-100 cm under sufficient light conditions. However, this spacing cannot meet the needs of people to perform various planting tasks. Therefore, in this embodiment, a transmission device 4 is set in both the first planting layer 2 and the second planting layer 3. The transmission device 4 drives the plants located on the first planting layer 2 and the second planting layer 3 to move laterally. Then, operators located in the operating areas on both sides of the first planting layer 2 and the second planting layer 3 perform various operations required for the plants during their growth process, such as pruning and harvesting.

[0027] like Figure 2-4 As shown, both the first planting layer 2 and the second planting layer 3 include multiple planting modules 6 arranged at intervals. Each planting module 6 includes a side support frame 61 and a bottom support frame 62. The bottom support frame 62 is placed on the conveying device 4, and one end of the side support frame 61 can be mounted on it. The side support frame 61 can be a structure with movable blocks installed in a chute. Thus, when the conveying device 4 moves the bottom support frame 62, the top of the side support frame 61 provides guidance and stability. A planting trough 7 is provided on the bottom support frame 62. As the solanaceous plants grow upwards in the planting trough 7, the side support frame 61 can also be used as a support for the hanging trough. The specific structure of the planting module 6 is the same as that of the first planting module 21, and will not be described again here.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, the conveying device 4 includes a transverse conveying device 41 and a longitudinal conveying device 42. The transverse conveying device 41 is used to move the plants laterally to both sides. To ensure smooth movement, in some embodiments, the transverse conveying device 41 is configured to convey in a horizontal direction. The transverse conveying device 41 includes an upper guide rail 411, a lower guide rail 412, and a transmission module. The upper guide rail 411 is located above the planting module 6, and one end of the planting module 6 is connected to the upper guide rail 411 via a guide device. The lower guide rail 412 and the transmission module are located below the planting module 6. The upper guide rail 411, the lower guide rail 412, and the transmission module work together to move the planting module 6 laterally. A waste liquid recovery tank 5 is also provided below the lower guide rail 412 for recovering irrigation waste liquid.

[0029] Because the spacing between the planting modules is small, in some implementations the spacing between adjacent planting modules is only 50-70cm, and the row spacing of the planting modules is also small. At this distance, adjacent plants will not cross or entangle with each other, but it is also impossible to accommodate the operator to operate between the planting modules. Therefore, the planting modules are driven by a horizontal transmission device to move the plants horizontally towards the operator. After the movement is completed, the operator can prune and harvest the plants. In this embodiment, the horizontal transmission device can be a conveyor module composed of a motor and a belt, or it can be implemented by a powered roller.

[0030] In this embodiment, a first planting layer 2 and a second planting layer 3 are arranged vertically in space. Since the plants require pruning and harvesting during growth, to prevent operators from climbing to perform these operations, this embodiment uses a longitudinal transmission device 42 to move the plants on the second planting layer 3 downwards and simultaneously move the plants on the first planting layer 2 upwards. Specifically, the longitudinal transmission device 42 is located on both sides of the transverse transmission device 41. When the planting module 6 on the transverse transmission device 41 moves to the longitudinal transmission device 42, the longitudinal transmission device 42 connects to the planting module 6 via a receiving rack. The receiving rack can be a self-powered roller structure or an independent belt conveyor mechanism. Because the receiving rack is mounted on the longitudinal transmission device 42, the movement of the longitudinal transmission device 42 drives the planting module 6 downwards. After reaching a lower position, the operator can then manipulate the plants in the planting module 6. The longitudinal transmission device 42 can be a lifting module composed of a motor, gears, and a chain. The motor provides power for the lifting, moving the plants longitudinally.

[0031] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical concept and features of this application, intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this application and implement it accordingly, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this application is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that this application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this application. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects. The scope of this application is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and thus all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this application.
