Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural cultivation equipment technology, and in particular to a substrate cleaning mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Plant factories are highly controllable modern agricultural facilities that achieve year-round, high-efficiency crop production in an indoor environment through technologies such as artificial light, temperature and humidity control, and nutrient solution cultivation. They eliminate the dependence of traditional agriculture on natural conditions and offer advantages such as water and fertilizer conservation, pesticide-free production, and high space utilization. They can produce high-value-added crops such as vegetables and herbs, making them an important solution for urban agriculture, vertical agriculture, and food safety, especially suitable for regions with scarce land or harsh climates.

[0003] Because plant factories have multi-layered cultivation structures and are quite tall, the substrate inside the cultivation troughs is difficult to replace. Utility Model Content

[0013] As the platform moves, the aggregating component gathers the dispersed matrix together.

[0014] In some designs, the accumulator includes a back plate and two side plates; the two side plates are positioned on either side of the back plate in the width direction to form a space for stacking the substrate.

[0015] In some designs, the bottom of the back panel and both side panels extend into the cultivation trough.

[0016] In some solutions, the matrix cleaning mechanism also includes a drive unit for driving the movement of the walking platform;

[0017] The drive unit includes a vehicle body and a linkage assembly, with one end of the linkage assembly rotatably connected to the vehicle body and the other end rotatably connected to the traveling platform.

[0018] In some solutions, the linkage assembly includes a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, an intermediate part, and a drive part. The two ends of the intermediate part are rotatably connected to the ends of the first connecting rod and the ends of the second connecting rod, respectively. The other end of the first connecting rod is rotatably connected to the vehicle body, and the other end of the second connecting rod is connected to the walking platform.

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0035] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 4 The matrix cleaning mechanism 100 provided in this application will be described in detail through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0036] Some embodiments of this application disclose a matrix cleaning mechanism 100, including a walking platform 110, a dispersing component 130, a transport pipe 120, a gathering component 140, and a driving component 150.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the walking platform 110 can move along the extension direction of the cultivation trough 200. The cultivation trough 200 is the core container in the plant factory used to hold the cultivation substrate and crops. It is usually designed as a long strip or modular structure to provide a stable growth space for the plants. The walking platform 110 can move along the extension direction of the cultivation trough 200, and a working platform is set up on the cultivation trough 200 to avoid manual operation.

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the dispersing component 130 is installed on the walking platform 110 to disperse the substrate in the cultivation trough 200. During long-term cultivation, the substrate is prone to clumping. Therefore, the dispersing component 130 is installed on the walking platform 110. As the walking platform 110 moves, the dispersing component 130 disperses the substrate in the cultivation trough 200, thereby facilitating the replacement of the substrate in the cultivation trough 200.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, one end of the transport pipe 120 is connected to the walking platform 110, and the other end is connected to a negative pressure device to extract the dispersed substrate. As the walking platform 110 moves, the dispersing component 130 disperses the substrate, and the negative pressure device creates negative pressure in the transport pipe 120, extracting the substrate from the cultivation trough 200.

[0040] Negative pressure suction enables efficient and thorough substrate recovery, avoiding the residue problems associated with manual cleaning. Secondly, closed-loop pipeline transportation effectively controls dust diffusion and maintains the cleanliness of the cultivation environment. Furthermore, negative pressure suction causes minimal structural damage to the cultivation trough and can adapt to substrate cleaning needs under different humidity conditions, providing a reliable substrate management solution for the continuous production of plant factories.

[0041] In this embodiment, the negative pressure device can be a vacuum pump, a centrifugal fan, or others, and can be flexibly set according to usage requirements. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, the dispersing component 130 includes a roller 131 and a support 132. One end of the support 132 is rotatably connected to the traveling platform 110, and the other end is rotatably connected to the roller 131. By rotatably connecting one end of the support 132 to the traveling platform 110 and the other end to the roller 131, the roller 131 can flexibly adjust its angle, enhancing its adaptability to substrates of different hardness and preventing jamming. The roller 131 can float with the terrain, ensuring uniform dispersal and improving the cleaning effect.

[0043] The roller 131 includes a cylindrical body and multiple slender cylindrical rods. The cylindrical body is rotatably connected to the support 132, and the multiple slender cylindrical rods are arranged on the circumferential surface of the cylindrical body. Multiple slender cylindrical rods are installed on the surface of the cylindrical body of the roller 131. When rotating, the slender cylindrical rods insert into and break up the substrate; the slender cylindrical rods increase the contact area and break up the substrate more thoroughly.

[0044] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the substrate cleaning mechanism 100 also includes a gathering component 140, which is disposed within the traveling platform 110. As the traveling platform 110 moves, the gathering component 140 gathers the dispersed substrate. The addition of the gathering component 140 to the traveling platform 110 concentrates the dispersed substrate into a specific area during movement, preventing substrate dispersion and facilitating the suction of the substrate by the negative pressure equipment, thereby improving the recovery rate and reducing the amount of substrate remaining in the cultivation trough 200.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, the concentrator 140 includes a back plate 142 and two side plates 141; the two side plates 141 are disposed on both sides of the back plate 142 in the width direction, forming a space for accumulating substrate. The concentrator 140, composed of the back plate 142 and the two side plates 141, forms a three-sided enclosed space, guiding substrate accumulation and preventing substrate overflow. At the same time, the concentrator 140 has a lightweight structure and high concentrating efficiency, making it particularly suitable for narrow cultivation troughs 200.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, the back plate 142 and side plate 141 of the gathering component 140 extend into the cultivation trough 200. Extending the back plate 142 and side plate 141 of the gathering component 140 into the cultivation trough 200 can significantly improve the substrate recovery efficiency. This design can form a closed flow channel to ensure that the dispersed substrate is completely guided to the suction port, avoiding material residue at the bottom of the trough; at the same time, the close contact with the inner wall of the cultivation trough 200 can scrape off the sticky stubborn substrate, achieving deep cleaning; this physical limiting structure can also maintain a stable gathering space during movement, preventing the dispersed substrate from overflowing, and is particularly suitable for handling moist and easily adhered cultivation substrates.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drive unit 150 includes a vehicle body 152 and a linkage assembly 151. One end of the linkage assembly 151 is rotatably connected to the vehicle body 152, and the other end is rotatably connected to the traveling platform 110. The vehicle body 152 and the linkage assembly 151 of the drive unit 150 drive the traveling platform 110 to move, and the linkage assembly 151 realizes a flexible connection between the traveling platform 110 and the vehicle body 152. At the same time, the vehicle body 152 provides stable power, and the linkage assembly 151 adapts to the layout of the cultivation trough 200, making it suitable for long-distance operation.

[0048] The vehicle body 152 is located on the ground and is connected to the high-altitude walking platform 110 via the linkage assembly 151, providing power for the movement of the walking platform 110 and reducing the weight and complexity of the high-altitude equipment. More importantly, it allows the vehicle body 152 to carry high-power negative pressure equipment, solving the load-bearing limitation problem of the high-altitude platform, while facilitating maintenance and monitoring by operators on the ground, significantly improving the safety and operability of the system.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, the linkage assembly 151 includes a first connecting rod 1511, a second connecting rod 1512, an intermediate portion 1513, and a drive portion 1514. The two ends of the intermediate portion 1513 are rotatably connected to the ends of the first connecting rod 1511 and the second connecting rod 1512, respectively. The other end of the first connecting rod 1511 is rotatably connected to the vehicle body 152, and the other end of the second connecting rod 1512 is connected to the walking platform 110. The drive portion 1514 is connected to the rotatable connection between the first connecting rod 1511 and the intermediate portion 1513 to drive the rotation of the first connecting rod 1511. The linkage assembly 151 applies torque through the drive portion 1514, causing the first connecting rod 1511 to rotate around the hinge point of the vehicle body 152, thereby driving the movement of the intermediate portion 1513. The intermediate portion 1513, as a power transmission hub, converts the motion into translational force of the walking platform 110 through its hinge with the second connecting rod 1512. This linkage mechanism design can accurately convert the power of the drive unit 1514 into the forward and backward displacement of the walking platform 110. At the same time, through the adjustment of the degrees of freedom of each rotating connection point, it can automatically compensate for the height deviation or track unevenness of the cultivation trough 200, ensuring effective transmission of thrust and absorbing position deviations during operation, so as to achieve stable driving and adaptive leveling of the aerial walking platform 110 under complex working conditions.

[0050] In this embodiment, the drive unit 1514 is preferably a motor.

[0051] The negative pressure equipment is installed inside the vehicle body 152 to pump the substrate into the vehicle body 152 for storage. Since the vehicle body 152 is located on the ground, installing the negative pressure equipment inside the vehicle body 152 utilizes the ground space to support the high-power negative pressure equipment, avoiding the load-bearing limitations of the high-altitude walking platform 110; secondly, the vertical height difference naturally forms a gravity-assisted conveying of materials, which, together with the transport pipeline 120, achieves efficient top-down suction and reduces energy consumption; furthermore, it allows operators to directly monitor the equipment's operating status from the ground.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the walking platform 110 is provided with rollers 111. By providing rollers 111 at the bottom of the walking platform 110, the friction force when the walking platform 110 moves is reduced.

[0053] like Figure 1As shown, the vehicle body 152 is connected to a conveying pipe 1521 to transfer the substrate stored inside the vehicle body 152 to the outside. By setting up the conveying pipe 1521, the substrate stored inside the vehicle body 152 can be transferred to a designated location, facilitating the recycling of the substrate.
