Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a multi-layer strawberry planting rack, belonging to the technical field of strawberry planting racks. Background Technology

[0002] Strawberry cultivation requires a sunny, warm environment and well-drained soil. There are three main types of support structures used in greenhouse strawberry cultivation: single-trough, A-frame, and overhead. Single-trough structures are about 1 meter high, have low investment costs, but require access channels and have low land utilization. A-frame structures have A-shaped planting troughs suspended in the air, saving land area, but uneven lighting occurs; while the top and edges receive sufficient light, the rest is affected. Overhead structures have planting troughs arranged in an orderly fashion suspended in the greenhouse, which can be raised and lowered by manual operation, eliminating the need for passageways and maximizing planting area utilization, but at a relatively high cost.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN208754895U discloses a strawberry growing rack, including a support frame, a water supply device, a base liquid supply device, and at least three soilless cultivation pipes. This strawberry growing rack can stably supply base liquid to each soilless cultivation pipe through the base liquid circulation supply device, improving the replenishment efficiency of the base liquid; it also supplies cold or hot water to the outer pipe of each soilless cultivation pipe through the water supply device, effectively regulating the temperature of the base liquid inside the inner pipe.

[0004] However, the following problems exist in the actual cultivation of strawberries: First, as the strawberry fruit grows larger, it hangs vertically downwards, causing the stem connecting the strawberry and the plant to bend excessively or even break. Under these circumstances, it is impossible to transport enough water and nutrients from the plant to the strawberry fruit, thus affecting the growth of the strawberry fruit. Second, the planting racks are not equipped with a lighting system. For multi-layer planting racks, the lighting problem directly affects the growth and taste of the fruit. The single or multiple light tubes used for supplemental lighting on some existing vegetable planting racks cannot guarantee uniform lighting.

[0005] In conclusion, the existing technology obviously has inconveniences and defects in practical use, so it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a multi-layer strawberry planting rack that prevents light leakage during artificial light cultivation, increases light intensity, and ensures uniform light distribution. It also ensures that water and nutrients are supplied smoothly to the strawberry fruit, guaranteeing its healthy growth, improving ventilation, enhancing transpiration of the strawberry leaves, and reducing the incidence of downy mildew.

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A multi-layer strawberry planting rack includes a frame body assembled from square tubes in both directions. The frame body has vertical support columns at both ends, and multiple layers are arranged sequentially from top to bottom between the support columns at both ends. Multiple planting troughs are arranged horizontally on each layer.

[0009] Each shelf is provided with a fruit-supporting net on both sides, and the fruit-supporting net is set on both sides of the planting trough; multiple supports are arranged along the length of the shelf, and each support includes an extension that extends to both sides, and the fruit-supporting net is fixed to the lower side of the extension, so that the fruit-supporting net protrudes to both sides.

[0010] Furthermore, the planting trough has a rectangular opening at the top, and the strawberry plants are arranged along the length of the planting trough. The long side of the planting trough is parallel to the long side of the shelf, and the short sides of adjacent planting troughs are arranged close to each other.

[0011] Furthermore, the support also includes a horizontal top rod disposed at the top, which spans both sides of the planting trough and is disposed parallel to the narrow side of the planting trough, with two extensions extending to both ends of the top rod respectively.

[0012] Furthermore, each shelf is equipped with a seedling-binding rope above the planting trough. The two ends of the seedling-binding rope are fixed to the two ends of the shelf, and the seedling-binding rope is tied to the top rod of the support. The seedling-binding rope is used to fix the branches and leaves of the strawberry plant.

[0013] Furthermore, the extension of the support extends downward to form a vertical rod, which blocks both sides of the planting trough.

[0014] Furthermore, an air duct is provided along the length of the lower middle position of the shelf, and air outlets are arranged on the lower side of the air duct. A vertical air duct is also provided on one side of the shelf, which is connected to the air duct, and a blower is provided at the lower end of the vertical air duct.

[0015] Furthermore, light tubes are provided on both sides of the air duct, and blind curtains are provided on both sides between two adjacent shelves.

[0016] Furthermore, the shelf is equipped with a tray, and the planting trough of each layer is placed in the tray. A water supply pipe is provided above the shelf, and the water supply pipe has a water outlet. A drain pipe is provided at the bottom of the tray.

[0017] Furthermore, one end of the planting trough on the shelf is lower than the other end, and the lower end of the planting trough is provided with a drainage outlet.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention, by adopting the above technical solution, has the following advantages:

[0019] Each shelf has a fruit-supporting net on both sides. The fruit-supporting net is set on both sides of the planting trough. The strawberry fruits extend to both sides of the planting trough, and the fruit-supporting net on both sides of the planting trough supports the strawberry fruits, so that the fruit stems connecting the strawberry fruits are less bent. This allows water and nutrients to be supplied to the strawberry fruits smoothly, ensuring the strawberry fruits grow well and taste better.

[0020] Light tubes are installed on both sides of the air duct, and shielding curtains are installed on both sides between two adjacent shelves. The inner surface of the shielding curtains has a reflective function. The shielding curtains can prevent light leakage and increase light intensity, and can also make the strawberry plants receive light evenly, thereby ensuring that the plants grow evenly.

[0021] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the specific embodiments of this utility model are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides a multi-layer strawberry planting rack, including a frame 1 assembled from square tubes in the longitudinal and transverse directions. The frame 1 has vertical support columns at both ends, and multiple shelves 2 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom between the support columns at both ends. Multiple planting troughs 3 are arranged horizontally on each shelf 2.

[0029] The planting trough 3 is a rectangular trough with an opening at the top. The planting trough 3 is used to plant strawberries. The strawberry plants are arranged along the length of the planting trough 3, and the long side of the planting trough 3 is arranged parallel to the long side of the shelf 2. The short sides of adjacent planting troughs 3 are arranged close to each other.

[0030] Each shelf 2 has a fruit-supporting net 7 on both sides, and the fruit-supporting net 7 is set on both sides of the planting trough 3; multiple supports 11 are arranged along the length of the shelf 2, such as Figure 3 The bracket 11 includes extensions 112 extending to both sides, and the fruit support net 7 is fixed to the lower side of the extensions 112, so that the fruit support net 7 protrudes to both sides.

[0031] After the strawberry plants in planting trough 3 grow, the strawberry fruits extend to both sides of planting trough 3. The fruit-supporting nets 7 on both sides of planting trough 3 support the strawberry fruits, making the fruit stalks connecting the strawberry fruits less curved, so that water and nutrients can be supplied to the strawberry fruits smoothly, ensuring the smooth growth of the strawberry fruits and better taste.

[0032] The support 11 also includes a horizontal top rod 111 set at the top, which spans both sides of the planting trough 3 and is set parallel to the narrow side of the planting trough 3. Two extensions 112 extend to both ends of the top rod 111 respectively.

[0033] Each shelf 2 is equipped with a seedling binding rope 12 above the planting trough 3. The two ends of the seedling binding rope 12 are fixed to the two ends of the shelf 2 respectively. The seedling binding rope 12 is tied to the top rod 111 of the support 11. The seedling binding rope 12 is used to fix the branches and leaves of the strawberry plant, so that the strawberry branches and leaves can maintain vertical growth and increase ventilation in the root and stem area to reduce the growth of pathogens.

[0034] The extension 112 of the bracket 11 extends downward to form a vertical rod 113, which blocks both sides of the planting trough 3 and serves to limit the position of the planting trough 3.

[0035] A duct 4 is installed along the length of the lower middle part of the shelf 2. Air outlets are arranged on the lower side of the duct 4. A vertical air duct 13 is also provided on one side of the frame 1. The vertical air duct 13 is connected to the duct 4, and a blower 14 is installed at the lower end of the vertical air duct 13. The duct 4 supplies air to the planting trough 3 at its lower end. The air supply from the ventilation duct 4 increases the transpiration of strawberry leaves and reduces the probability of downy mildew.

[0036] Light tubes 5 are installed on both sides of the air duct 4. A shielding curtain 6 is installed on both sides between two adjacent shelves 2 (only the top shielding curtain is shown in the figure for the convenience of showing the internal structure). The inner surface of the shielding curtain 6 has a reflective function. The shielding curtain 6 can prevent light leakage and increase light intensity on the one hand, and make the strawberry plants receive light evenly on the other hand, thereby ensuring that the plants grow evenly.

[0037] The shelf 2 is equipped with a tray 8, and the planting trough 3 of each layer is placed in the tray 8. A water supply pipe 9 is provided above the shelf 2, and a water outlet is provided on the water supply pipe 9. A drain pipe 10 is provided at the bottom of the tray 8. After water is sprayed into the planting trough 3 through the water supply pipe 9, the excess water is drained away from the drain pipe 10 at the bottom of the tray 8.

[0038] Furthermore, one end of the planting trough 3 on the shelf 2 is lower than the other end, and a drainage outlet is provided at the lower end of the planting trough 3. The planting trough 3 is set at different heights at both ends to facilitate drainage.

[0039] The above description provides examples of the preferred embodiments of this utility model. Any aspects not detailed herein are common knowledge to those skilled in the art. The scope of protection of this utility model is determined by the claims. Any equivalent modifications based on the technical teachings of this utility model are also within the scope of protection of this utility model.
