[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a supplemental lighting device for apple cultivation, belonging to the field of supplemental lighting technology for fruit trees. Background Technology
[0002] In apple cultivation, supplemental lighting is crucial for regulating photosynthesis, improving fruit set, and increasing fruit sugar content. Current mainstream supplemental lighting systems for apple cultivation primarily focus on optimizing the angle and intensity of light, but generally lack dedicated cleaning mechanisms for the lighting panels. In apple orchard environments, these panels are constantly exposed to open or semi-open spaces, easily accumulating dust, pollen, water droplets condensed from orchard fog, and pesticide residues. These contaminants gradually accumulate on the panel surface, forming an irregular shading layer that significantly reduces light transmittance, failing to meet the light requirements of apple blossoms and fruit, thus affecting pollination success and fruit sugar accumulation. Utility Model Content

[0006] Furthermore, in order to blow away the dust on the fill light plate, air jet plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the vertical rod. Air jet holes are arrayed on one side of the two air jet plates. An air pump is fixedly installed on one side of one of the vertical plates. An air outlet pipe is fixedly installed on the air pump. One end of the air outlet pipe is connected to the air jet plate.
[0007] Furthermore, in order to limit the movement of the moving block, the two vertical plates are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mounting rod, and the two vertical plates are symmetrically distributed. The output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to the threaded rod, and the second motor is fixedly installed on one side of one of the vertical plates. The two ends of the two sliding rods are respectively fixedly connected to the two vertical plates.
[0008] Furthermore, in order to achieve a better purging effect, the length of the jet plate is equal to the width of the supplementary lighting plate.
[0009] Furthermore, in order to make the extension and retraction of the first electric telescopic rod more stable, the two first electric telescopic rods are symmetrically distributed on the upper surface of the mounting plate.

[0019] 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.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, an apple planting supplemental lighting device includes a mounting plate 1. Two first electric telescopic rods 2 are fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the mounting plate 1. Mounting blocks 3 are fixedly mounted on the upper ends of the two first electric telescopic rods 2. A rotating rod 4 is fixedly mounted between the two mounting blocks 3. A first motor 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 4, and a mounting rod 6 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the rotating rod 4. A cleaning component 7 and a supplemental lighting plate 8 are mounted on the mounting rod 6. When the apple planting supplemental lighting device is in use, the two first electric telescopic rods 2 are synchronously controlled by an external controller, so that the two first electric telescopic rods 2 extend and retract synchronously. The height of the mounting rod 6 and the supplemental lighting plate 8 can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to the height requirements of apple trees at different growth stages. The first motor 5 drives the rotating rod 4 to rotate, thereby driving the mounting rod 6 to rotate, and thus realizing the angle adjustment of the supplemental lighting plate 8 to ensure uniform light coverage of the tree canopy. At the same time, the cleaning component 7 cleans the dust on the surface of the supplemental lighting plate 8 to ensure light efficiency.
[0021] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the cleaning component 7 includes two vertical plates 701, a threaded rod 702 rotatably mounted between the two vertical plates 701, and a movable block 704 threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 702. A second motor 703 is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 702. Extension blocks 705 are fixedly mounted at both the upper and lower ends of the movable block 704. A sliding rod 706 is provided through one side of each extension block 705. A second electric telescopic rod 707 is fixedly mounted on one side of the movable block 704. A connecting seat 708 is fixedly mounted at the telescopic end of the second electric telescopic rod 707. A vertical rod 709 is fixedly mounted on the connecting seat 708. A cleaning cotton 70 is fixedly mounted on one side of the vertical rod 709. 10. Air jet plates 7011 are fixedly installed on both sides of the vertical rod 709. Air jet holes 7012 are arrayed on one side of each of the two air jet plates 7011. An air pump 7013 is fixedly installed on one side of one of the vertical plates 701. An air outlet pipe 7014 is fixedly installed on the air pump 7013. One end of the air outlet pipe 7014 is connected to the air jet plate 7011. The two vertical plates 701 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mounting rod 6 and are symmetrically distributed. The output end of the second motor 703 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 702, and the second motor 703 is fixedly installed on one side of one of the vertical plates 701. The two ends of the two sliding rods 706 are fixedly connected to the two vertical plates 701 respectively. The length of the jet plate 7011 is equal to the width of the supplementary lighting plate 8. When the cleaning component 7 is working, the second motor 703 starts, driving the threaded rod 702 connected to it to rotate between the two vertical plates 701. Since the moving block 704 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 702, and under the limiting action of the sliding rods 706 on both sides, the moving block 704 will move horizontally along the threaded rod 702. When the moving block 704 moves to the appropriate position, the second electric telescopic rod 707 starts to work, and its connecting seat 708 moves closer to the supplementary lighting plate 8, so that the vertical rod 709 fixed on the connecting seat 708 drives the cleaning cotton 7010 to stick to the surface of the supplementary lighting plate 8. At this time, the air pump 7013 starts simultaneously, and the air pump 7013 is activated. The air pipe 7014 delivers high-pressure gas to the jet plate 7011. The gas is ejected at high speed from the jet holes 7012 arrayed on one side of the jet plate 7011, which initially blows away most of the loose dust from the surface of the supplementary light plate 8. Subsequently, the second motor 703 drives the threaded rod 702 to rotate, causing the moving block 704 to move the cleaning cotton 7010 horizontally on the surface of the supplementary light plate 8. The wiping action of the cleaning cotton 7010 further removes the remaining stubborn dust. When the cleaning cotton 7010 needs to be replaced, the second electric telescopic rod 707 is driven to stretch, separating the cleaning cotton from the supplementary light plate 8. At this time, the cleaning cotton 7010 can be replaced by the staff.
[0022] As a technical optimization of this utility model, two first electric telescopic rods 2 are symmetrically distributed on the upper surface of the mounting plate 1. One end of the rotating rod 4 passes through one of the mounting blocks 3, and the end of the rotating rod 4 passing through the mounting block 3 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 5. The first motor 5 is fixedly installed on one side of one of the mounting blocks 3. The two first electric telescopic rods 2 are symmetrically distributed, which can stably support the upper structure and adjust the height. When the first motor 5 is running, its output end drives the rotating rod 4 passing through the mounting block 3 to rotate, thereby causing the mounting rod 6 to rotate, so as to realize the flexible adjustment of the angle of the supplementary lighting plate 8 and meet the supplementary lighting needs of apple trees in different directions.
