Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cultivation device technology, and more specifically, to a rain-sheltered cultivation device for dragon fruit. Background Technology

[0002] Dragon fruit, also known as pitaya or dragon pearl fruit, is the fruit of the Hylocereus undatus plant (Hylocereus zebrina) in the genus Hylocereus of the cactus family. It is oval in shape, red or yellow in appearance, with green, rounded triangular leaf-like structures. The flesh is white, red, or yellow, and contains black seeds. It contains plant-based albumin and anthocyanins, which are rare in other plants, as well as abundant vitamins and water-soluble dietary fiber. Due to the biological characteristics of dragon fruit, it requires the use of cultivation supports during its cultivation. As people's understanding and love for dragon fruit grows, more and more people are using rooftops, balconies, and spaces in front of and behind their houses to grow dragon fruit using cultivation devices.

[0003] However, existing technologies have some problems: although existing dragon fruit cultivation devices can support dragon fruit vines, they are usually exposed to the light, which facilitates the dragon fruit vines to receive light. Since dragon fruit is drought-tolerant but susceptible to waterlogging, when it rains, users need to move the entire cultivation device indoors or cover the cultivation device with a film to protect it from the rain, which is time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, we propose a rain-sheltered dragon fruit cultivation device. Utility Model Content

[0016] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0017] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the invention or its application or use.

[0018] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0019] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0020] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a dragon fruit rain-sheltered cultivation device includes a cultivation trough 1, a support 2 fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner wall of the cultivation trough 1, upright plates 3 fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the cultivation trough 1, a top plate 4 fixedly installed between the tops of the two upright plates 3, connecting rods 5 fixedly installed on both sides of the upright plates 3, a rotating shaft 6 rotatably connected to the connecting rods 5, a rainproof cloth 7 wrapped around the outer surface of the rotating shaft 6, a counterweight 8 fixedly connected to the other end of the rainproof cloth 7, and the rotating shaft 6 is also connected to the upright plates 3 through a drive assembly, so that the rotating shaft 6 can rotate through the drive assembly to retract the rainproof cloth 7.

[0021] The top plate 4 can be made of transparent acrylic sheet, so as not to obstruct the daily light of the dragon fruit vines. When it rains, the user can rotate the shaft 6 through the drive component, so as to unfold the rainproof cloth 7. The rainproof cloth 7 unfolds stably downward under the gravity of the counterweight 8, so as to cover the dragon fruit vines and achieve the effect of rain protection.

[0022] The aforementioned dragon fruit rain-sheltered cultivation device includes a drive assembly comprising two self-locking rotating shafts 9, both of which are rotatably connected to the upright plate 3. A drive wheel 10 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the self-locking rotating shaft 9, and a driven wheel 11 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 6. A belt 12 is used for transmission between the driven wheel 11 and the drive wheel 10.

[0023] The self-locking rotating shaft 9 can be equipped with components such as spring pins to cooperate with the pre-set slots on the upright plate 3 to achieve self-locking, preventing the rotating shaft 6 from rotating under the gravity of the counterweight block 8. After the user unlocks, by rotating the self-locking rotating shaft 9, the driving wheel 10 can be driven to rotate, which in turn can drive the driven wheel 11 to rotate through the belt 12, and then drive the rotating shaft 6 to rotate to retract and extend the rainproof cloth 7.

[0024] The aforementioned dragon fruit rain-sheltered cultivation device has two self-locking rotating shafts 9 with gears 13 fixedly sleeved on their outer surfaces, and the two gears 13 are meshed together.

[0025] A protective cover can be installed on the upright plate 3 to protect the gear 13. With the design of two gears 13, when the user rotates one self-locking shaft 9, one gear 13 can drive the other gear 13 to rotate, thereby enabling the other self-locking shaft 9 to rotate as well. This allows the rainproof cloths 7 on both sides to be retracted and extended simultaneously, making it convenient to use.

[0026] The above-mentioned dragon fruit rain-sheltered cultivation device has a rotating rod 14 rotatably connected to the cultivation trough 1. The rotating rod 14 has a slot 15. The cultivation trough 1 has a circular groove 16 located on the side of the rotating rod 14. A pin 17 is movably inserted into the rotating rod 14. One end of the pin 17 abuts against the cultivation trough 1, and the other end of the pin 17 is fixedly connected to a pull handle 18. Circular blocks 20 are fixedly installed on both sides of the counterweight 8.

[0027] When the user unfolds and lowers the rainproof cloth 7, the counterweight 8 moves to the side of the cultivation trough 1. At this time, the user can rotate the rotating rod 14 so that the slot 15 is engaged with the round block 20 and insert the pin 17 into the round slot 16, thereby limiting the counterweight 8 and preventing the rainproof cloth 7 from being blown by the wind, thus ensuring the rain protection effect on the dragon fruit vines.

[0028] In the above-mentioned dragon fruit rain-sheltered cultivation device, a spring 19 is movably sleeved on the outer surface of the pin 17, and the two ends of the spring 19 are respectively fixedly connected to the rotating rod 14 and the pull handle 18.

[0029] By setting the spring 19 to a stretched state, the spring 19's elasticity will cause the pin 17 to tend to move closer to the cultivation trough 1. Thus, when the rotating rod 14 rotates, the pin 17 can automatically insert into the circular groove 16 and remain stable, thereby ensuring the stability of the rotating rod 14 and the counterweight 8.

[0030] In the aforementioned dragon fruit rain-sheltered cultivation device, the height of the driving wheel 10 is lower than that of the driven wheel 11, and the diameter of the driving wheel 10 is greater than that of the driven wheel 11.

[0031] Because the diameter of the driving wheel 10 is larger than that of the driven wheel 11, the driven wheel 11 will rotate faster when the user rotates the driving wheel 10, making it easier to retract and extend the rainproof cloth 7.

[0032] Working principle and usage process of this utility model: The user fills the cultivation trough 1 with soil and plants dragon fruit. The dragon fruit vines are tied to the support 2 with ropes. When it rains, the user can rotate the self-locking shaft 9, which drives the drive wheel 10 and gear 13 to rotate. One gear 13 drives another gear 13 to rotate, thus causing the other self-locking shaft 9 to rotate. This, in turn, drives the driven wheel 11 via the belt 12, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 6 to unfold the rainproof cloth 7. This allows both sides of the rainproof cloth 7 to unfold simultaneously. Furthermore, the rainproof cloth 7 unfolds stably downwards under the gravity of the counterweight 8, thus shielding the dragon fruit vines and achieving the effect of rain protection. When the user unfolds and lowers the rainproof cloth 7, the counterweight 8 moves to the side of the cultivation trough 1. At this time, the user can rotate the rotating rod 14 so that the slot 15 is engaged with the round block 20, and the pin 17 is inserted into the round slot 16 under the elastic force of the spring 19, thereby limiting the counterweight 8 and preventing the rainproof cloth 7 from being blown by the wind, thus ensuring the rain protection effect on the dragon fruit vines.

[0033] Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
