Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of agricultural planting technology, and in particular to a multifunctional three-dimensional vegetable cultivation rack. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional vegetable cultivation mostly employs flat cultivation methods, which suffer from low space utilization, uneven light distribution, and low management efficiency. Fruit vegetables have higher requirements for light and water management. While existing vertical cultivation devices can improve space utilization, they have the following drawbacks: fixed shelf structures result in insufficient light for plants at the bottom; irrigation systems cannot adapt to the needs of vertical structures; and harvesting operations are difficult with vertical cultivation racks. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application provides a multifunctional three-dimensional vegetable cultivation rack. By horizontally installing several planting trays on the rack, space utilization is improved and yield is increased. The planting trays are circulated and raised on the rack through the interlocking action of sprockets and chains, ensuring that vegetables on all the trays receive sunlight and preventing insufficient light from affecting the growth of vegetables in the bottom trays. The circulating and raising mechanism also facilitates the harvesting of fruits and vegetables by workers. The device is equipped with supplemental lighting and sprinkler pipes on the rack. By coordinating with the circulating movement of the planting trays, it can conveniently and efficiently provide uniform light compensation and atomized irrigation to all the moving planting trays, meeting the light and water requirements for vegetable growth and improving management efficiency and automation.
[0004] This application provides a multifunctional vegetable vertical cultivation rack, including: a frame and planting trays. Several planting trays are horizontally installed on the frame. The frame includes two symmetrically arranged support devices. Each support device includes a support column and a base plate. The support column is vertically welded to the base plate. Each support column has a connecting seat welded to the top and bottom of its side wall. Each connecting seat has a sprocket movably installed. The sprocket at the bottom is connected to a servo motor. The two sprockets on the same support column are connected by a chain. Several V-shaped connecting parts are evenly installed on the chain. The two ends of the planting tray are respectively connected to the corresponding connecting parts on the two support columns. Each connecting part includes two strips. One end of the two strips overlaps and is movably connected by a locking post. The other end of the two strips is hooked onto the chain. A horizontal plate is connected to the side wall of the locking post. A horizontal bar is vertically welded to the horizontal plate. Three plates are evenly welded to the horizontal bar. The planting tray is fixed above the three plates.
[0005] A supplementary light is horizontally fixed between two support columns, and a spray pipe is horizontally fixed between two support columns. Several atomizing nozzles are evenly installed on the spray pipe, and the spray pipe is connected to a water inlet pipe, which is connected to a water pump in the water tank.
[0006] The frame is externally connected to a controller, and each servo motor, fill light, and water pump is electrically connected to the controller.
[0007] Furthermore, a base is welded to the bottom of the side wall of the support column, and the bottom of the base is welded to the base plate.
[0008] Furthermore, a support platform is set on each base plate, and a servo motor is placed on the support platform.
[0009] Furthermore, the supplemental lighting is located above the spray pipes.
[0010] Furthermore, a trough is placed at the bottom of the frame, located below the planting tray.
[0011] Furthermore, the controller is equipped with several operation buttons.
[0012] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this application provides a multifunctional vegetable vertical cultivation rack, including: a frame and planting trays. Several planting trays are horizontally installed on the frame, and planting trays are installed layer by layer on both sides of the frame to improve space utilization and increase yield. The frame includes two symmetrically arranged support devices. Each support device includes a support column and a base plate. The support column is vertically welded to the base plate, and the base plate is fixed to the ground. Each support column has a connecting seat welded to the top and bottom of the same side wall. Each connecting seat has a movably installed sprocket. The sprocket at the bottom is connected to a servo motor. The two sprockets on the same support column are connected by a chain. Several V-shaped connecting parts are evenly installed on the chain. The two ends of the planting tray are respectively connected to the corresponding connecting parts located on the two support columns. The controller synchronizes the start and operation of two servo motors. These motors drive the corresponding sprockets at the bottom, which in turn rotate the chain, causing the top sprocket to rotate. The chain's movement moves all the connecting parts hooked onto it, thus causing all the planting trays to move up and down along the path of the support columns. This allows the planting trays, originally located at the bottom, to move to a more well-lit position, ensuring all vegetables receive relatively uniform light (whether natural or supplemental). This prevents insufficient light from affecting vegetable growth, and also allows staff to easily harvest and inspect the trays from a fixed location. This solves the problems of difficult harvesting from higher levels and insufficient light at the bottom. Each... The connecting component includes two slats, one end of which overlaps and is movably connected by a locking post. The locking post serves as a movable connection point, providing cushioning and adaptability when the chain changes direction at the sprocket's rounded corner, reducing impact on the planting tray. The other ends of the two slats are hooked onto the chain. A horizontal plate is connected to the side wall of the locking post, and a horizontal bar is vertically welded to the horizontal plate. The other end of the horizontal bar is welded to the horizontal bar of another horizontal connecting component. The horizontal bar supports the planting tray, facilitating its fixation on the horizontal bar between the two connecting components. Three plates are evenly welded to the horizontal bar, with the planting tray fixed above them. The three plates increase the supporting contact area and stability of the planting tray, and their weight also helps maintain stability during turning, preventing the planting tray from... In case of tipping, the system protects the vegetables. A supplemental light is horizontally fixed between the two support columns. During vegetable cultivation, the controller turns on the supplemental light to compensate for the light intensity of the vegetables as needed. A spray pipe is horizontally fixed between the two support columns. Several atomizing nozzles are evenly installed on the spray pipe. The spray pipe is connected to a water inlet pipe, which is connected to a water pump in a water tank. When irrigation is needed, the controller turns on the water pump. Water from the water tank enters the spray pipe through the water inlet pipe and is atomized and sprayed out by the several atomizing nozzles to irrigate the vegetables in the planting tray. The planting tray moves dynamically in a cycle with the chain drive, thereby compensating for light intensity and watering the vegetables, ensuring that the vegetables on the planting tray have the light and water they need to grow.The frame is externally connected to a controller, which in turn controls the on / off states of each servo motor, supplemental lighting, and water pump. This allows the frame to circulate continuously during the planting process, ensuring that vegetables in all planting trays receive adequate sunlight. This prevents insufficient light in the bottom trays from negatively impacting vegetable growth. The circulating mechanism also facilitates harvesting of fruits and vegetables. Furthermore, supplemental lighting and sprinkler systems provide additional light and water to the vegetables, enabling the frame to perform multiple planting functions.
[0013] In summary, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:
[0014] 1. This device improves space utilization and increases yield by horizontally installing several planting trays on the frame. The interlocking action of sprockets and chains causes the planting trays to move up and down in a circular motion on the frame, ensuring that vegetables on all the planting trays can enjoy sunlight. This avoids insufficient sunlight on the planting trays at the bottom, which would affect the growth of the vegetables. The reciprocating cycle also makes it convenient for workers to pick the fruits and vegetables.
[0015] 2. By installing supplemental lighting and spray pipes on the frame and coordinating with the cyclical movement of the planting trays, this device can conveniently and efficiently provide uniform light compensation and atomized irrigation to all the planting trays in motion, meeting the light and water requirements for vegetable growth and improving management efficiency and automation.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, see [link / reference]. Figures 1-5 .
[0026] Example 1:
[0027] A multifunctional vertical vegetable cultivation rack includes: a frame and planting trays 9. Several planting trays 9 are horizontally installed on the frame, with planting trays 9 installed layer by layer on both sides of the frame to improve space utilization and increase yield. The frame includes two symmetrically arranged support devices. Each support device includes a support column 1 and a base plate 2. The support column 1 is vertically welded to the base plate 2, and the base plate 2 is fixed to the ground. Each support column 1 has a connecting seat 4 welded to the top and bottom of its side wall. Each connecting seat 4 has a movably mounted sprocket 5. The sprocket 5 at the bottom is connected to a servo motor 6. Two sprockets 5 on the same support column 1 are connected by a chain 7. Several V-shaped connecting parts 8 are evenly installed. The two ends of the planting tray 9 are connected to corresponding connecting parts 8 located on two support columns 1. The controller 17 controls two servo motors 6 to start and run synchronously. The servo motors 6 drive the sprockets 5 at the bottom of the corresponding connection to rotate. The sprockets 5 mesh with the chain 7, causing the top sprocket 5 to rotate. The movement of the chain 7 causes all the connecting parts 8 hooked to it to move accordingly, thereby causing all the planting trays 9 to perform a cyclical lifting and lowering motion along the path of the support columns 1. This allows the planting trays 9 originally located at the bottom to move to a position with better sunlight, ensuring that all vegetables receive adequate sunlight. To ensure even lighting (whether natural or supplemental), insufficient light in the bottom planting tray 9 is avoided, which would negatively impact vegetable growth. This also allows staff to easily harvest and inspect the planting tray 9 from a fixed position, solving the problems of difficult harvesting from higher levels and insufficient light at the bottom. Each connecting component 8 includes two slats 81, with one end overlapping and movably connected by a locking post 83. The locking post 83 serves as a movable connection point, providing cushioning and adaptability when the chain 7 changes direction at the rounded corner of the sprocket 5, reducing impact on the planting tray 9. The other ends of the two slats 81 are hooked... On the chain 7, a horizontal plate 82 is connected to the side wall of the locking post 83. A horizontal bar 91 is vertically welded on the horizontal plate 82. The other end of the horizontal bar 91 is welded to the horizontal bar 91 of another horizontal connecting part 8. The horizontal bar 91 supports the planting tray 9 and facilitates fixing the planting tray 9 on the horizontal bar 91 between the two connecting parts 8. Three plates 92 are evenly welded on the horizontal bar 91. The planting tray 9 is fixed above the three plates 92. The three plates 92 increase the support contact surface and stability of the planting tray 9. Their weight also helps the planting tray 9 to remain stable when turning, preventing the planting tray 9 from tipping over and thus protecting the vegetables.
[0028] A supplementary light 10 is horizontally fixed between two support columns 1. During vegetable planting, the controller 17 controls the supplementary light 10 to turn on to compensate for the light intensity of the planted vegetables according to planting needs. A spray pipe 11 is horizontally fixed between the two support columns 1. Several atomizing nozzles 12 are evenly installed on the spray pipe 11. The spray pipe 11 is connected to a water inlet pipe 13. The water inlet pipe 13 is connected to a water pump 15 in a water tank 14. When irrigation is needed, the controller 17 controls the water pump 15 to turn on. Through the action of the water pump 15, the water in the water tank 14 enters the spray pipe 11 through the water inlet pipe 13 and is atomized and sprayed out by several atomizing nozzles 12 to irrigate the vegetables in the planting tray 9. The planting tray 9 moves dynamically and cyclically with the transmission of the chain 7, thereby compensating for the light intensity and water intensity of the vegetables and ensuring that the vegetables in the planting tray 9 have the light and water required for growth.
[0029] A controller 17 is connected to the outside of the frame. Each servo motor 6, supplementary light 10, and water pump 15 are electrically connected to the controller 17. The controller 17 controls the on / off status of each servo motor 6, supplementary light 10, and water pump 15, so that the frame moves up and down in a cyclical manner during the planting process. This ensures that the vegetables on several planting trays can all enjoy sunlight, avoiding insufficient sunlight on the bottom planting tray 9, which would affect the growth of the vegetables. The cyclical up and down movement also makes it convenient for staff to pick the fruits and vegetables. At the same time, the supplementary light 10 and the sprinkler pipe 11 are used to supplement the light and water the planted vegetables, realizing the multi-functional planting function of the frame.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment, a base 3 is welded to the bottom of the side wall of the support column 1. The bottom of the base 3 is welded to the base plate 2, and the base 3 enhances the stability of the connection between the support column 1 and the base plate 2.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment, a support platform is provided on each base plate 2, and a servo motor 6 is placed on the support platform.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the supplementary light 10 is positioned above the spray pipe 11 to prevent the supplementary light 10 from getting wet.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, a trough 16 is placed at the bottom of the frame. The trough 16 is located below the planting tray 9 and below the movement trajectory of the lowest planting tray 9. It is used to collect irrigation water that drips from the planting tray 9 or falls from the atomizing nozzle 12, which can be recycled and reused, and also keeps the planting environment clean.
