Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of Chinese medicinal herb cultivation facilities, specifically to an integrated shade and insect-proof shed for Chinese medicinal herbs. Background Technology
[0002] In the cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs, light intensity and pest problems directly affect the growth quality and yield of the herbs. Currently, traditional Chinese medicinal herb cultivation often uses separate shading facilities and pest control equipment, which lack coordinated design and suffer from problems such as functional separation and cumbersome operation.
[0003] Existing technology includes a patent with patent application number CN202223180479.0, which discloses a trellis for planting Chinese medicinal herbs, relating to the field of Chinese medicinal herb planting technology. This trellis includes an arched frame, vertical poles, and a positioning mechanism. A horizontal beam is provided at the bottom of the arched frame, and grooves are formed on the outer wall of the arched frame. Connecting blocks are fixedly installed inside the arched frame, and square slots are formed at the bottom of the connecting blocks. Two sets of vertical poles are respectively located at both ends of the arched frame. A locking block is fixedly installed at one end of each vertical pole, and a pad is fixedly connected to the other end. The positioning mechanism is located on the arched frame and can position both the vertical poles and the horizontal beams on the arched frame. This medicinal herb cultivation trellis features easily connectable and detachable vertical and horizontal beams from the arched frame, enhancing its construction efficiency. It also reinforces the arched frame and vertical beams, providing excellent pressure resistance and preventing collapse when covered with snow. However, current pest control measures rely heavily on chemical pesticide spraying or single-layer insect netting. Excessive use of chemical pesticides can lead to pesticide residues exceeding standards, affecting the quality and safety of the medicinal herbs. While ordinary insect netting can block some pests, its effectiveness against nocturnal phototactic pests is limited, and it lacks active trapping and killing capabilities. Furthermore, traditional cultivation trellises often have separate ventilation, shading, and pest control systems, resulting in cluttered layouts, low space utilization, and increased management costs. In hot and humid environments, poor ventilation can exacerbate pest and disease breeding, further impacting the healthy growth of the medicinal herbs.
[0004] In view of this, we propose an integrated shade and insect-proof shed for Chinese medicinal herbs. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an integrated shade and insect-proof shed for Chinese medicinal herbs.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is:
[0007] An integrated shade and insect-proof shed for Chinese medicinal herbs includes a shed body with several side components installed on both sides. Each side component includes a mounting frame fixed to the shed body, a blower assembly installed within the mounting frame, and an electric shock net fixed to the outside of the blower assembly inside the mounting frame. Several lighting panels are installed on the inner wall of the mounting frame. A top shading assembly is installed on the top of the shed body, including a fixing plate and a storage cover fixed to both ends of the shed body. A foldable shading panel is installed between the fixing plate and the storage cover. The shed body is equipped with a drive mechanism for unfolding or retracting the foldable shading panel. By setting side components containing blower assemblies, electric shock nets, and lighting panels on both sides of the shed body, combined with the foldable top shading assembly and drive mechanism, an integrated design of shading and insect-proof functions is achieved. The side components attract pests with lighting panels and then kill them with electric shock nets. Meanwhile, the air blowing components promote air circulation inside the shed, and the top shading components can adjust the shading area as needed. The overall structure is compact, taking into account both the shading environment and pest protection required for the growth of Chinese medicinal herbs, thus improving the overall practicality of the shed.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the blowing assembly includes a mounting frame fixed inside the mounting frame, on which a cooling motor is mounted. At least one fan blade is coaxially fixed to the output shaft of the cooling motor. The blowing assembly, with its cooling motor driving the fan blades, effectively enhances the airflow speed inside the greenhouse. This reduces the greenhouse temperature, preventing diseases in medicinal herbs caused by high temperature and humidity. It also effectively drives potential pests towards the electric grid, improving pest control. Furthermore, it promotes gas exchange on the surface of the medicinal herb leaves, thus promoting their growth.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution, a protective net is provided on the outer wall of the mounting frame, and the protective net is fixedly connected to the mounting frame by fixing bolts located at the four corners. The protective net on the outer wall of the mounting frame is fixed by fixing bolts, which can prevent large debris or birds from entering the shed and interfering with the growth of Chinese medicinal materials, and can also prevent people or other animals from accidentally coming into contact with the inner electric shock net and causing safety accidents.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the driving mechanism includes two lead screws symmetrically rotatably mounted between the fixed plate and the storage cover. A driving block is fixed to each side of the end of the folding sunshade furthest from the storage cover, and the two driving blocks are threadedly connected to the two lead screws respectively. The driving mechanism uses the threaded connection between the lead screws and the driving blocks to drive the folding sunshade to unfold or retract, enabling precise control of the unfolding degree of the sunshade.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the driving mechanism includes a transmission box fixed to the outside of the fixed plate. A transmission rod is rotatably installed inside the transmission box, and the two ends of the transmission rod are respectively driven by two bevel gear sets and two lead screws. This ensures the consistent movement of the driving blocks on both sides of the folding sun visor, avoiding jamming or damage to the sun visor due to uneven force on both sides during unfolding or retracting.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution, a drive motor is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the transmission box, and the output shaft of the drive motor is coaxially fixed with one of the lead screws. In use, the drive motor drives one of the lead screws to rotate, which in turn drives the other lead screw to rotate through the transmission rod and two bevel gear sets.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution, two side guide plates are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the canopy body. Each guide plate has a guide groove near its bottom. A connecting rod is fixed to each of the two bottom sides of the foldable sunshade, and these connecting rods are slidably connected to the two guide grooves respectively. The side guide plates and guide grooves at the top of the canopy slide in conjunction with the connecting rods at the bottom of the foldable sunshade, providing stable guidance for the unfolding and retraction of the sunshade, limiting its movement trajectory, and preventing it from shifting or swaying during movement.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the distance between the outer walls of the two drive blocks is less than the inner ring of the storage cover, so that when the foldable sunshade is folded to its shortest length, the entire structure is located inside the storage cover. This allows the sunshade to be completely stored in the storage cover when not in use, effectively preventing the sunshade from being exposed to the external environment for a long time and being eroded and damaged by wind, rain, ultraviolet rays, etc., thus extending the service life of the sunshade.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] This invention achieves an integrated design of shading and insect control by incorporating side components (including air blowing, electric shock netting, and lighting panels) on both sides of the frame body, combined with a foldable top shading component and drive mechanism. The side components attract pests using the lighting panels, which are then killed by the electric shock netting. Simultaneously, the air blowing component promotes air circulation within the frame, and the top shading component allows for adjustment of the shading area as needed. The overall structure is compact, balancing the shading environment and insect protection required for the growth of medicinal herbs, thus enhancing the overall practicality of the frame.

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.
[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0026] A shading and insect-proofing integrated frame for Chinese medicinal herbs includes a frame body 1. Several side components 2 are installed on both sides of the frame body 1. Each side component 2 includes a mounting frame 20 fixed to the frame body 1. A blower assembly is installed inside the mounting frame 20, and an electric shock net 27 is fixed to the outside of the blower assembly inside the mounting frame 20. Several lighting panels 23 are installed on the inner wall of the mounting frame 20. A top shading component 3 is installed on the top of the frame body 1. The top shading component 3 includes a fixing plate 34 fixed to both ends of the frame body 1 and a storage cover 32. A foldable shading panel 31 is installed between the fixing plate 34 and the storage cover 32. The frame body 1 is equipped with a drive mechanism for unfolding or retracting the foldable shading panel 31. By setting side components 2 containing blower assemblies, electric shock nets 27, and lighting panels 23 on both sides of the frame body 1, combined with the foldable top shading component and drive mechanism, an integrated design of shading and insect-proofing functions is achieved. The side component 2 can attract pests using the lighting panel 23 and then kill them with the electric shock net 27. At the same time, the blowing component can promote air circulation inside the shed, and the top shading component 3 can adjust the shading area according to needs. The overall structure is compact, taking into account both the shading environment and pest protection required for the growth of Chinese medicinal materials, thus improving the overall practicality of the shed.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the blowing assembly includes a mounting frame 24 fixed inside the mounting frame 20. A cooling motor 26 is mounted on the mounting frame 24, and at least one fan blade 25 is coaxially fixed to the output shaft of the cooling motor 26. The blowing assembly, with its cooling motor 26 driving the fan blade 25, effectively enhances the airflow speed inside the greenhouse. This reduces the greenhouse temperature, preventing diseases in the medicinal herbs caused by high temperature and humidity. It also effectively drives potential pests towards the electric mesh 27, improving pest control. Furthermore, it promotes gas exchange on the surface of the medicinal herb leaves, thus promoting their growth.
[0028] As a preferred embodiment, a protective net 21 is provided on the outer wall of the mounting frame 20. The protective net 21 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 20 by fixing bolts 22 located at the four corners. The protective net 21 on the outer wall of the mounting frame 20 is fixed by fixing bolts 22, which can prevent large debris or birds from entering the shed and interfering with the growth of Chinese medicinal materials, and can also prevent people or other animals from accidentally coming into contact with the inner electric shock net 27 and causing safety accidents.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the driving mechanism includes two lead screws 36 symmetrically rotatably mounted between the fixed plate 34 and the storage cover 32. A driving block 35 is fixed to each side of the end of the folding sunshade 31 furthest from the storage cover 32, and the two driving blocks 35 are threadedly connected to the two lead screws 36 respectively. The driving mechanism uses the threaded connection between the lead screws 36 and the driving blocks 35 to drive the folding sunshade 31 to unfold or retract, enabling precise control of the unfolding degree of the sunshade.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the driving mechanism includes a transmission box 30 fixed to the outside of the fixed plate 34. A transmission rod 300 is rotatably mounted inside the transmission box 30. The two ends of the transmission rod 300 are respectively driven by two bevel gear sets 301 and two lead screws 36. This ensures the consistent movement of the driving blocks 35 on both sides of the folding sunshade 31, and avoids jamming or damage to the sunshade due to uneven force on both sides during unfolding or retracting.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment, a drive motor 302 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the transmission box 30, and the output shaft of the drive motor 302 is coaxially fixed with one of the lead screws 36. In use, the drive motor 302 drives one of the lead screws 36 to rotate, which in turn drives the other lead screw 36 to rotate through the transmission rod 300 and the two bevel gear sets 301.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, two side guide plates 33 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the canopy body 1. Guide grooves 330 are provided near the bottom of the guide plates. A connecting rod 310 is fixed to each side of the bottom of the folding sunshade 31, and the connecting rods 310 on both sides are slidably connected to the two guide grooves 330 respectively. The side guide plates 33 and guide grooves 330 at the top of the canopy slide in cooperation with the connecting rods 310 at the bottom of the folding sunshade 31, providing stable guidance for the unfolding and retraction of the sunshade, limiting the movement trajectory of the sunshade, and preventing it from shifting or swaying during movement.
[0033] It should be noted that the folding sunshade 31 consists of several continuously hinged panels, and the connecting rod 310 is fixed to both sides of each panel near the bottom.
[0034] In this preferred embodiment, the distance between the outer walls of the two drive blocks 35 is less than the inner ring of the storage cover 32. When the foldable sunshade 31 is folded to its shortest length, its entire structure is located inside the storage cover 32. This allows the sunshade to be completely stored in the storage cover 32 when not in use, effectively preventing the sunshade from being exposed to the external environment for a long time and being eroded and damaged by wind, rain, ultraviolet rays, etc., thus extending the service life of the sunshade.
[0035] This utility model's integrated shade and insect-proof shed for Chinese medicinal herbs achieves precise control of the herb growing environment through the coordinated operation of two core systems: shading and insect prevention. Regarding the shading function, when adjusting the light intensity inside the shed, the drive motor 302 starts and rotates one of the lead screws 36. Through the transmission rod 300 in the transmission box 30 and the bevel gear set 301, both lead screws 36 rotate synchronously, driving the drive blocks 35 on both sides of the folding sunshade panel 31 to move axially along the lead screws 36. At this time, the connecting rod 310 at the bottom of the folding sunshade panel 31 slides along the guide groove 330 of the side guide plate 33, providing stable guidance for the unfolding or retraction of the sunshade panel and ensuring its smooth movement. When the sunshade panel is unfolded, the unfolded area can be precisely controlled according to the light requirements through the transmission of the lead screws 36, blocking strong light from the Chinese medicinal herbs. When not in use, the sunshade panel retracts into the storage cover 32 to prevent external environmental damage.
[0036] In terms of pest control and environmental regulation, the side components 2 on both sides of the frame continue to play a role: the lighting panel 23 is powered on to attract pests, while the cooling motor 26 of the blower component drives the fan blades 25 to rotate, accelerating the air circulation in the greenhouse. On the one hand, it reduces the temperature in the greenhouse, promotes gas exchange in the leaves of Chinese medicinal herbs, and reduces the risk of diseases caused by high temperature and humidity. On the other hand, it drives pests in and around the greenhouse toward the electric shock net 27. After the pests come into contact with the electric shock net 27, they are effectively killed. The protective net 21 on the outer wall of the mounting frame 20 blocks external debris and birds from entering the greenhouse, while preventing people from accidentally touching the electric shock net 27, ensuring safe use.
[0037] Through precise control of the shading system and efficient coordination of the insect control system, the shed achieves integrated functions of shading, insect control, ventilation and cooling, providing a suitable growing environment for Chinese medicinal herbs.
[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
