Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural cultivation and storage technology, specifically a modular snap-fit three-dimensional planting rack with adjustable layer height and length. Background Technology
[0002] In the industrialized cultivation of edible fungi, the construction of smart mushroom houses, and the exploration of new models for cultivating edible fungi during the idle period of tobacco curing barns (fungus-tobacco synergy), three-dimensional cultivation racks are an indispensable core infrastructure. Currently, the commonly used multi-layer racks are mainly welded or bolted assembly types. These traditional structures have significant drawbacks: 1. Poor flexibility: The fixed size makes it impossible to adjust the layer height according to the growth characteristics of different fungi (such as red-topped bamboo fungus, shiitake mushroom, oyster mushroom, Ganoderma lucidum, and termite mushroom) or different growth stages of the same fungi, making it difficult to achieve precise cultivation and maximize space utilization.
[0003] 2. Low deployment efficiency: Installation and dismantling rely heavily on manual labor and specialized tools, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially in scenarios where it is necessary to quickly assemble modular container-style mushroom houses or seasonally utilize tobacco curing rooms, resulting in high time and labor costs.
[0004] 3. Insufficient weather resistance: A large number of bolts and nuts are prone to corrosion in the continuous high humidity environment of the mushroom house, which leads to maintenance difficulties, shortened lifespan, and even structural safety hazards, which is far from meeting the reliability requirements of smart agricultural equipment.
[0005] 4. Difficult to adapt to new business models: Its bulky and fixed form makes it difficult to meet the application needs of small-scale and modular applications such as leisure agriculture and family farming, hindering the practice of integrating primary, secondary, and tertiary industries.
[0006] Therefore, the industry urgently needs an innovative cultivation rack that can overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks, achieve rapid deployment, flexible adjustment, maintenance-free operation, and adaptability to various application scenarios. To this end, we propose a modular snap-fit three-dimensional planting rack with adjustable layer height and length to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular snap-fit three-dimensional planting rack with adjustable layer height and length to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a modular snap-fit three-dimensional planting rack with adjustable layer height and length, including column components, longitudinal beam components, crossbeams, and safety pins. Multiple longitudinal beam components are connected between the column components through safety pins. The two ends of the crossbeams are respectively connected to the longitudinal beam components, and the crossbeams are evenly distributed. The column component includes a steel pipe, a reinforcing tie rod, irregular holes, a large round hole, and a small round hole. Multiple steel pipes are provided, and multiple reinforcing tie rods are welded between two steel pipes. Multiple irregular holes, small round holes, and large round holes are respectively provided through the steel pipes along their length. The small round holes are engaged with safety pins. The longitudinal beam component includes a rectangular tube, pull claws, male buckles, and positioning grooves. Pull claws are fixedly welded to both ends of the rectangular tube. Multiple male buckles are provided on the pull claws, and the male buckles engage with the irregular holes. Multiple positioning grooves are fixedly welded to the rectangular tube along its length, and the positioning grooves overlap with the ends of the crossbeam.
[0009] Preferably, the steel pipe has a rectangular cross-section.
[0010] Preferably, the small round hole is located between the irregular holes.
[0011] Preferably, the safety pin has an L-shaped structure.
[0012] Preferably, a fixed angle bracket is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the steel pipe, and a guide rod is fixedly connected to the end of the fixed angle bracket away from the steel pipe.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. Saves labor, time, and installation costs: No tools or bolts are required throughout the process. Ordinary personnel can complete the assembly, disassembly, or adjustment by hand in a very short time. The installation efficiency is several times higher than the traditional method, which greatly reduces labor and time costs.
[0014] 2. Extremely high flexibility and modularity: (1) Adjustable floor height: Users can attach the longitudinal beams to the holes at any height of the column according to their needs, freely define the space of each floor, and adapt to a variety of crops.
[0015] (2) Scalable: The frame adopts a unified modular design, and the length and height of the frame can be flexibly expanded by adding standard units. Users can start with small-scale test units and seamlessly expand to large-scale production lines.
[0016] 3. Excellent applicability: Its corrosion resistance and maintenance-free characteristics make it particularly suitable for high humidity environments; its flexible and modular features enable it to be perfectly adapted to various scenarios such as standard smart mushroom houses, modular cabins, smart greenhouses, and modified tobacco curing rooms, effectively promoting the development of new models such as "mushroom-tobacco synergy".
[0017] 4. Safe and reliable: The main card connection structure is supplemented with an independent safety pin, forming a double insurance to ensure the long-term stability and safety of the frame.
[0018] 5. Multifunctionality: The structure is simple and can be used as a planting rack or quickly converted into a storage rack, making it highly practical. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0021] 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.
[0022] Example 1
[0023] Reference Figure 1 , 9 This is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides a modular snap-fit three-dimensional planting rack with adjustable layer height and length, including column components 1, longitudinal beam components 2, cross beams 3, and safety pins 4. Multiple longitudinal beam components 2 are connected between the column components 1 through safety pins 4. The two ends of the cross beams 3 are respectively connected to the longitudinal beam components 2. The cross beams 3 are evenly distributed. The column component 1 includes a steel pipe 101, reinforcing tie rods 102, irregular holes 103, large round holes 104, and small round holes 105. Multiple steel pipes 101 are provided, and multiple reinforcing tie rods 102 are welded between two steel pipes 101. Multiple irregular holes 103, small round holes 105, and large round holes 104 are respectively provided through the steel pipes 101 along their length. Small round holes 105 are engaged with safety pins 4. The irregular holes 103, small round holes 105, and large round holes 104 are arranged in multiple groups in a regular pattern. Each group includes multiple irregular holes 103, small round holes 105, and large round holes 104. Large round holes 104 are reserved near the irregular holes 103 for installing climbing poles or guide rods 5, etc. The longitudinal beam component 2 includes a rectangular tube 201, pull claws 202, male buckles 203, and positioning grooves 204. Pull claws 202 are fixedly welded to both ends of the rectangular tube 201. Multiple male buckles 203 are provided on the pull claws 202 respectively. The male buckles 203 engage with the irregular holes 103. They can be quickly engaged and fixed by inserting and rotating or pressing down. Multiple positioning grooves 204 are fixedly welded to the rectangular tube 201 along the length direction. The positioning grooves 204 overlap with the ends of the crossbeam 3.
[0024] Example 2
[0025] Reference Figure 1-9 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. Specifically, the cross-section of the steel pipe 101 is a rectangular structure.
[0026] Specifically, small round holes 105 are provided between irregular holes 103, and the irregular holes 103 are in the shape of inverted trapezoids, L-shapes, convex shapes, key shapes, etc.
[0027] Specifically, the safety pin 4 has an L-shaped structure. After the longitudinal beam component 2 is installed in place, the safety pin 4 is inserted into the small round hole 105, which serves as a secondary anti-detachment safety device.
[0028] Specifically, a fixed corner bracket 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the steel pipe 101, and a guide rod 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixed corner bracket 6 away from the steel pipe 101.
[0029] The working principle and process are as follows: During installation, the male buckles 203 on the pull claws 202 at both ends of the longitudinal beam component 2 are aligned with the irregular holes 103 on the column component 1 and inserted. Utilizing the mutual constraint between the male buckles 203 and the internal structure of the irregular holes 103, a slight translational movement is made to achieve a tight engagement and locking between the two, forming the main load-bearing connection. The crossbeam 3 is fixed by a simple overlapping method. The safety pin 4 serves as an independent safety device, providing physical anti-detachment protection. The floor height can be adjusted by adjusting the installation position of the longitudinal beam component 2 at different height holes. The longitudinal length can be extended infinitely by increasing the number of column components 1 and longitudinal beam components 2.
[0030] Example 3
[0031] The difference between this embodiment and embodiments 1 and 2 is that: 1. Material substitution: The materials of column component 1, longitudinal beam component 2, and crossbeam 3 are not limited to steel, but can also be high-strength engineering plastics, aluminum alloy profiles, or composite materials.
[0032] 2. Replacement of connection hole form: The specific shape of the irregular hole 103 can vary, as long as it can form an effective interlock with the corresponding snap-fit structure: for example, it can be a combination of a round hole and a guide groove.
[0033] 3. Anti-loosening mechanism alternative: In addition to safety pin 4, an integrated anti-retraction mechanism such as elastic buckle or spring steel ball can be designed on the pull claw or irregular hole.
[0034] 4. Replacement for fixing method of crossbeam 3: In addition to overlapping, crossbeam 3 and longitudinal beam component 2 can also be designed as snap-fit or hook-type connection.
[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
