Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of planting rack technology, specifically an adjustable agricultural planting rack. Background Technology
[0002] Agricultural growing racks are structures used to support plant growth, often used in hydroponics and vertical farming to improve land utilization and crop yield.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent application CN202420047253.3 discloses an agricultural-specific height-adjustable planting rack, comprising support columns and positioning plates. Two positioning plates are symmetrically distributed left and right. Three connecting plates are slidably installed between the two positioning plates in a linear array. A first support plate is fixedly installed between the two positioning plates, located below the connecting plates. Second support plates are fixedly installed on opposite sides of the two positioning plates. Each of the three connecting plates has mounting holes, and bearings are fixedly installed inside each of the three mounting holes. Connecting sleeves are rotatably connected to the inner walls of each of the three bearings. This height-adjustable planting rack allows the height of the connecting plates at different positions to be adjusted according to the user's needs, thereby changing the position of the planting box and facilitating user satisfaction.
[0004] However, in actual use, when the above-mentioned device is used to irrigate the crops inside the planting box, the planting box cannot drain the excess water at the bottom, which can easily affect the roots of the crops, causing them to rot and thus reducing the planting effect. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an adjustable agricultural planting rack. Through several drainage channels, excess irrigation water inside the planting box flows into a fixed frame via L-shaped connecting pipes and L-shaped corrugated pipes. This allows users to directly and independently collect excess irrigation water, facilitating centralized treatment and reuse, significantly reducing irrigation water waste. Simultaneously, it prevents excess irrigation water from accumulating inside the planting box and causing root rot, ensuring the effectiveness of agricultural planting and effectively solving the problems in the background technology.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an adjustable agricultural planting frame, including a support plate, a support pile fixedly provided at the top center of the support plate, a U-shaped main frame fixedly provided between the two ends of the top of the support plate, and three sets of two planting boxes distributed vertically between the top of the support pile and the top of the inside of the U-shaped main frame.
[0007] The U-shaped main frame is equipped with recycling components on both the front and rear sides for collecting irrigation water that seeps into the bottom of the planting box.
[0008] The recycling component includes several recycling frames, which are respectively fixedly installed at the bottom of several planting boxes. L-shaped connecting pipes are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of each recycling frame. L-shaped corrugated pipes are fixedly installed at the bottom end of each L-shaped connecting pipe. Fixed frames are fixedly installed on both sides of the U-shaped main frame. The rear end of each L-shaped corrugated pipe is fixedly installed on the fixed frame.
[0009] Preferably, the two planting boxes in each group are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the U-shaped main frame. The bottom of the planting box is provided with several evenly distributed drainage grooves. The recycling frame is interconnected with the L-shaped connecting pipe, the L-shaped corrugated pipe and the fixed frame, so as to facilitate the collection of water into the fixed frame.
[0010] Preferably, a drain pipe is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed frame on the side away from the U-shaped main frame, and a valve is fixedly installed on the drain pipe to facilitate opening the valve and draining excess irrigation water from inside the fixed frame.
[0011] Preferably, all three groups of planting boxes are provided with the same adjustment component for driving the two planting boxes on the same side to rise and fall;
[0012] The adjustment assembly includes a fixed cylinder, which is located at the top of the support pile. A threaded rod is connected to the top of the fixed cylinder via a bearing. A receiving pile is connected to the threaded rod via a thread. Fixed rods are fixed at both ends of the receiving pile. A rotating rod is connected between the two fixed rods on the same side via a bearing. The planting box is fixed between the two rotating rods on the same side, which facilitates pushing the planting box so that the planting box tilts around the two fixed rods.
[0013] Preferably, the bottom fixing cylinder is fixedly mounted on the top of the support pile, and the top of the threaded rod at the top is connected to the top of the U-shaped main frame through a bearing. The fixing cylinder is equipped with a bevel gear set, and the bottom end of the threaded rod passes through the top of the fixing cylinder and is fixedly connected to one of the bevel gears. A crank handle is connected to the rear side of the fixing cylinder through a bearing, so that the two bevel gears in the bevel gear set can rotate to drive the threaded rod to rotate.
[0014] Preferably, the front end of the crank handle passes through the fixed cylinder and is fixedly connected to another bevel gear. The rear end of the crank handle is connected by a bolt for fixing the crank handle and the fixed cylinder, so that the bolt can be unscrewed and the crank handle can be turned to drive the bevel gear set to rotate.
[0015] Preferably, the front and rear side walls of the planting box are provided with several evenly distributed snap-fit grooves, and rubber rods are movably installed inside the snap-fit grooves. The same partition plate is fixed between the two rubber rods on the same side, so as to facilitate the pulling out of the partition plate and adjust the size of the planting space inside the planting box.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an adjustable agricultural planting rack, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. This utility model uses several drainage grooves at the bottom of the planting box to allow excess irrigation water to flow into the recycling frame and then into two L-shaped connecting pipes. From there, the water flows into the L-shaped corrugated pipe and is collected into the fixed frames on both sides of the support plate. Finally, it is discharged through the drain pipe. This allows users to collect excess irrigation water directly and independently, facilitating centralized treatment and reuse, significantly reducing irrigation water waste. It also prevents excess irrigation water from accumulating inside the planting box and causing root rot, thus ensuring the effectiveness of agricultural planting.
[0018] 2. This utility model uses a crank to drive a threaded rod, which in turn moves the receiving pile along the inner walls of both sides of the support plate to raise and lower it. This causes the two planting boxes on the front and rear sides of the receiving pile to rise and fall simultaneously. It also pushes the planting boxes so that the rotating rods at both ends of the planting boxes rotate, which facilitates the tilting of the planting boxes. This allows for precise and stable adjustment of the height of the planting boxes, optimizing the lighting and ventilation efficiency of multi-layer planting spaces. At the same time, it is easy to flip the planting boxes over, allowing for convenient inspection of crop roots, soil conditions, or maintenance without disassembly. This greatly improves the operational convenience and observation efficiency of agricultural management and reduces labor intensity. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides an adjustable agricultural planting rack, including a support plate 1. A support pile 2 is fixedly provided at the top center of the support plate 1. A U-shaped main frame 3 is fixedly provided between the two ends of the top of the support plate 1. Three sets of two planting boxes 5 are arranged vertically between the top of the support pile 2 and the top of the inner end of the U-shaped main frame 3. The front end of the crank handle 86 passes through the fixed cylinder 81 and is fixedly connected to another bevel gear. The rear end of the crank handle 86 is connected by a bolt for fixing the crank handle 86 and the fixed cylinder 81 by a thread, which makes it easy to unscrew the bolt and rotate the crank handle 86 to drive the bevel gear set 85 to rotate.
[0028] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the U-shaped main frame 3 is provided with recycling components 9 on both the front and rear sides for collecting irrigation water that seeps into the bottom of the planting box 5. The recycling components 9 include several recycling frames 91, which are fixedly installed at the bottom of several planting boxes 5. L-shaped connecting pipes 92 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the recycling frames 91, and L-shaped corrugated pipes 93 are fixedly installed at the bottom end of the L-shaped connecting pipes 92.
[0029] The U-shaped main frame 3 is fixed with fixed frames 94 on both sides. The rear end of the L-shaped corrugated pipe 93 is fixed on the fixed frame 94. The two planting boxes 5 in each group are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the U-shaped main frame 3. The bottom of the planting box 5 is provided with several evenly distributed drainage grooves 10. The recycling frame 91 is interconnected with the L-shaped connecting pipe 92, the L-shaped corrugated pipe 93 and the fixed frame 94, so as to facilitate the collection of water into the fixed frame 94. The bottom of the fixed frame 94 away from the U-shaped main frame 3 is fixed with a drain pipe 95. A valve 96 is fixed on the drain pipe 95, so as to open the valve 96 and drain the excess irrigation water inside the fixed frame 94 through the drain pipe 95.
[0030] By setting up the recycling component 9, after watering the crops planted inside the planting box 5, excess irrigation water will flow through the soil into the recycling frame 91 from several drainage channels 10 at the bottom of the planting box 5. From there, the water will flow into two L-shaped connecting pipes 92, and then into the L-shaped corrugated pipe 93. Finally, the water will be collected and gathered into the fixed frames 94 on both sides of the support plate 1. By opening the valve 96, the excess irrigation water inside the fixed frames 94 can be discharged through the drain pipe 95. This allows users to collect excess irrigation water directly and independently, facilitating centralized treatment and reuse, significantly reducing irrigation water waste. It also prevents excess irrigation water from accumulating inside the planting box 5 and causing root rot, thus ensuring the effectiveness of agricultural planting.
[0031] Furthermore, during the subsequent process of flipping the planting box 5, the flexible L-shaped corrugated pipe 93 can compensate for the positional changes of the planting box 5 during the lifting and lowering process, always keeping the overall drainage pipeline unobstructed, ensuring that irrigation water can be reliably guided into the fixed frame 94 at different heights, avoiding blockage or leakage, and improving the integrity of irrigation water recycling.
[0032] like Figure 1-3 As shown in Figure 5, the three sets of planting boxes 5 are all equipped with the same adjustment component 8, which is used to drive the two planting boxes 5 on the same side to rise and fall. The adjustment component 8 includes a fixed cylinder 81, which is located on the top of the support pile 2. The top of the fixed cylinder 81 is connected to a threaded rod 82 through a bearing. A receiving pile 4 is connected to the threaded rod 82 through a thread. Fixed rods 84 are fixed on both the front and rear ends of the receiving pile 4. A rotating rod 83 is connected between the two fixed rods 84 on the same side through a bearing. The planting box 5 is fixed between the two rotating rods 83 on the same side, which facilitates pushing the planting box 5 so that the planting box 5 tilts around the two fixed rods 84.
[0033] The bottom fixed cylinder 81 is fixedly mounted on the top of the support pile 2. The top of the threaded rod 82 is connected to the top of the U-shaped main frame 3 via a bearing. The fixed cylinder 81 is equipped with a bevel gear set 85. The bottom end of the threaded rod 82 passes through the top of the fixed cylinder 81 and is fixedly connected to one of the bevel gears. The rear side of the fixed cylinder 81 is connected to a crank handle 86 via a bearing, which facilitates the rotation of the two bevel gears in the bevel gear set 85 to drive the threaded rod 82 to rotate. The front end of the crank handle 86 passes through the fixed cylinder 81 and is fixedly connected to the other bevel gear. The rear end of the crank handle 86 is connected to a bolt for fixing the crank handle 86 and the fixed cylinder 81 via a thread, which facilitates unscrewing the bolt and turning the crank handle 86 to drive the bevel gear set 85 to rotate.
[0034] When adjusting the distance between multiple planting boxes 5 by setting the adjustment component 8, unscrew the bolt between the fixed cylinder 81 and the front side of the crank handle 86, manually turn the crank handle 86 to drive the bevel gear set 85 inside the fixed cylinder 81 to mesh and rotate, and at the same time drive the threaded rod 82 to rotate, so that the threaded rod 82 drives the receiving pile 4 to rise and fall along the inner walls of both sides of the support plate 1. At the same time, the two ends of the receiving pile 4 contact the inner walls of both sides of the support plate 1 to limit the movement of the receiving pile 4, which makes it easier to drive the two planting boxes 5 on the front and rear sides of the receiving pile 4 to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the height between adjacent planting boxes 5.
[0035] Meanwhile, when users need to check the planting status inside the planting box 5, they can push the planting box 5, causing the rotating rods 83 at both ends of the planting box 5 to rotate. This makes it easy to tilt the planting box 5, thereby achieving precise and stable adjustment of the height of the planting box 5. This optimizes the lighting and ventilation efficiency of the multi-layer planting space. At the same time, it is easy to flip the planting box 5, which can be easily flipped over to check the crop roots, soil conditions or perform maintenance without disassembly. This greatly improves the operational convenience and observation efficiency of agricultural management and reduces labor intensity.
[0036] 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 illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
