[0015] 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.

[0016] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, a retractable planting machine includes a base box 100 and a planting tray 200 mounted on its outer side, and also includes a retraction mechanism 300 disposed on the base box 100; wherein, the retraction mechanism 300 includes a movable frame 310 and a top cover 320, the base box 100 is slidably fitted onto the outer side of the movable frame 310, both the movable frame 310 and the top cover 320 can move vertically, and the planting tray 200 is slidably connected to the inner side of the movable frame 310.

[0017] In normal use, the planting tray 200 is used to support vegetable and fruit seedlings. The height of the movable frame 310 can be adjusted to determine the immersion depth of the vegetable and fruit roots in the nutrient solution, thereby adjusting the ratio of fertilizer and water absorption and oxygen absorption by the roots according to different growth needs. After use, when it is necessary to shrink and store the seedlings, the movable frame 310 can be stored in the bottom box 100, and then the top cover 320 can be attached to the top of the bottom box 100 to complete the storage process.

[0018] It should be noted that the top cover 320 is equipped with a plant light, and the bottom box 100 is equipped with a submersible pump for circulating and delivering nutrient solution. Users can install the corresponding hoses at the corresponding points on the planting tray 200. Two latches are provided on the outer side of the base box 100 to facilitate the overall handling by the user; Both the base box 100 and the movable frame 310 are equipped with observation windows, which facilitates the corresponding height adjustment according to the root growth.

[0019] The bottom box 100 has two symmetrically arranged inserts 110 that slide inside. The outer side of the movable frame 310 has two sets of slots that are adapted to the inserts 110. One side of the insert 110 is inserted into the interior of the adjacent slot.

[0020] When adjusting the movable frame 310, the planting tray 200 can change its height accordingly, thereby changing the immersion depth of the roots and nutrient solution. After adjusting to the appropriate position, the corresponding slot and the plug 110 are selected to complete the locking process.

[0021] The insert 110 has a bevel on the side near the movable frame 310, and a rubber strip 111 is installed on the side of the insert 110 near the movable frame 310.

[0022] When the movable frame 310 needs to be adjusted upwards, it can be pulled directly. The inclined surface is pressed against the corresponding slot opening, causing the insert 110 to move accordingly, thus completing the quick adjustment. When adjusting downwards, the insert 110 can be driven to separate from the slot. Then, the rubber strip 111 contacts the side of the movable frame 310, using friction to slow down the falling speed of the movable frame 310, reducing the occurrence of damage to internal parts and injury to personnel caused by rapid falling.

[0023] A set of springs 112 is installed on the outside of the insert block 110, and one end of the springs 112 is fixedly installed inside the bottom box 100.

[0024] A spring 112 is used to apply pressure to the insert 110, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the insert 110 and the slot and reducing the occurrence of accidental disengagement.

[0025] Two telescopic rods 312 are installed on the movable frame 310, and one end of the telescopic rod 312 is connected to the top cover 320.

[0026] The height of the top cover 320 is adjusted using a telescopic rod 312. When it needs to be stored, the telescopic rod 312 can be retracted accordingly.

[0027] It should be noted that the telescopic rod 312 is multi-segmented, and the connection is equipped with elastic buckles for limiting the movement. This type of technology is a mature existing technology, and its internal structure and actual application will not be described in detail here. The power cables for the plant lights are arranged inside the telescopic pole 312, and the base box 100 is equipped with a power socket for powering the entire device.

[0028] A slider 210 is installed on the outside of the planting tray 200 and is slidably connected to the inside of the movable frame 310. A lead screw 311 is rotatably connected inside the movable frame 310, and one end of the lead screw 311 passes through and is threaded to the outside of the slider 210.

[0029] The user can drive the lead screw 311 to rotate, so that the slider 210 can drive the planting tray 200 to make corresponding height adjustments.

[0030] The planting tray 200 includes an inner plate and an outer frame. A set of planting baskets is provided on the inner plate. The outer frame is connected to the outer side of the slider 210. The inner plate is hinged to the inside of the outer frame. A rubber ring is provided between the inner plate and the outer frame. Two abutting bolts 220 are provided on the outer side of the outer frame above the inner plate.

[0031] When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the planting basket, the user can rotate the corresponding contact bolt 220 to drive the inner plate to rotate inside the outer frame, thereby changing the angle of the planting basket. The rubber ring can fill the gap between the inner plate and the outer frame, and the deformation capacity can be used to drive the inner plate to reset after the contact bolt 220 is released, so that the planting basket is reset accordingly. It should be noted that the inner panel is equipped with a hinge shaft that extends into the outer frame; The submersible pump and the planting basket are staggered to prevent them from colliding when retracted and stored.

[0032] Working principle: When not in use, pull the insert 110 to separate it from the slot, so that the movable frame 310 is in the bottom box 100. Then retract the telescopic rod 312 so that the top cover 320 fits against the top of the bottom box 100 to complete the storage. When in use, place the vegetable and fruit seedlings and seeds in the planting basket. Then, according to the root growth, pull the movable frame 310 to adjust the height to change the immersion depth of the roots and nutrient solution. During this process, the user can rotate the screw 311 to drive the movable frame 310 to make fine adjustments to the height, achieving various adjustments. In addition, during the planting process, a submersible pump can be used to actively deliver the nutrient solution into each planting basket to improve the growth effect. Users can periodically rotate the corresponding contact bolts 220 to change the angle of the inner plate and the planting basket, causing the accumulated nutrient solution to drain out along the side holes of the planting basket, thus reducing the occurrence of root rot.

[0033] It should be noted that the submersible pump and plant light in this application are both existing mature equipment, and their control means adopt PLC controller programmed intelligent control installed on the bottom box 100. This type of control technology is an existing mature technology and will not be described in detail here.
