Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant cultivation technology, and specifically to a plant cultivation device. Background Technology

[0002] Soilless cultivation is a plant cultivation technique that eliminates the constraints of natural soil. Its core lies in replacing soil with an artificial substrate or nutrient solution environment to achieve precise control over the root microenvironment, including the dynamic adaptation of key elements such as nutrient composition and ratio, water supply rhythm, and gas exchange status. This technology does not rely on the natural fertility of the soil but rather scientifically configures the nutrient system based on the plant's physiological needs, effectively avoiding problems such as nutrient imbalance, latent pests and diseases, and continuous cropping obstacles caused by soil.

[0003] According to the authorization announcement number (CN222982185U), a soilless chrysanthemum seedling raising device for convenient cultivation is disclosed. It is suitable for soilless chrysanthemum seedling raising and mainly consists of a mounting bracket and planting units mounted on its outer surface. In practical application, culture medium is first added to the storage tank, then the support bracket is installed into the limiting plate. Next, chrysanthemum seedlings are placed into the planting box, and the seedlings are secured using the fixing holes on the outer surface of the support bracket. Finally, the planting box containing the seedlings is placed in the storage tank to carry out seedling cultivation.

[0004] The structure disclosed in this patent has shortcomings in practical application, specifically as follows: the mounting bracket is arranged in layers along the vertical direction with multiple planting units. In daily cultivation, observation of plant growth, adjustment of seedling positions, and removal of residual leaves are indispensable maintenance operations. However, due to the multi-layered layout, the upper planting units physically obstruct the inner area of ​​the lower layers, limiting the operator's field of vision when observing the inner plants. During specific operations, hands and tools are easily hindered by the upper structure, making it difficult to smoothly reach the target plants. This design results in cramped operating space and reduced operational flexibility, not only affecting the efficiency of daily maintenance but also potentially causing accidental damage to plants during avoidance of obstructions, thus inconveniencing actual cultivation and maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a plant cultivation device that addresses the problem in the prior art where adjacent planting units create obstructions, resulting in limited viewing angles and cramped operating spaces for operators. This device optimizes the viewing angle and operating space, improving the convenience and efficiency of maintenance.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A plant cultivation device includes: a cultivation cabinet with a cultivation chamber formed inside; multiple supporting beams detachably installed from top to bottom within the cultivation chamber; multiple guide components spaced apart on the supporting beams, each guide component including two oppositely arranged guide slides; a restraining component installed on the inner wall of the guide slides; and a cultivation tray slidably fitted between the two guide slides. In the cultivation station, the restraining component restrains the cultivation tray within the cultivation chamber; in the operation station, the restraining component at least partially restrains the cultivation tray outside the cultivation chamber.

[0007] Furthermore, in this utility model, the inner side of the aforementioned guide slide is provided with a guide groove along the extension direction; the two sides of the cultivation tray are respectively provided with guide sliders corresponding to the guide grooves, and the guide sliders and guide grooves form a sliding guide engagement.

[0008] Furthermore, in this utility model, the side of the cultivation tray is provided with a first constraint hole and a second constraint hole in sequence along the extension direction; when the cultivation tray slides to the cultivation station, the constraint component forms a constraint engagement with the first constraint hole, thereby restricting the cultivation tray from sliding out of the cultivation chamber; when the cultivation tray slides to the operation station, the constraint component forms a constraint engagement with the second constraint hole, thereby restricting the cultivation tray from sliding into the cultivation chamber.

[0009] Furthermore, in this utility model, the aforementioned constraint assembly includes: a constraint seat, which is installed on the outer wall of the guide slide, and has an assembly groove at the end of the constraint seat near the guide slide; a constraint plunger, which passes through the assembly groove, with one end of the constraint plunger extending into the guide slide groove; and a return spring, which is fitted on the outside of the constraint plunger, with one end of the return spring connected to the inner wall of the assembly groove and the other end of the return spring connected to the outer wall of the constraint plunger; wherein, the constraint plunger can selectively engage with the first constraint hole or the second constraint hole under the action of the return spring.

[0010] Furthermore, in this invention, a first guide slope and a second guide slope are respectively provided on both sides of one end of the aforementioned constraint plunger; wherein, when the constraint plunger is inserted into the first constraint hole, the external force of the cultivation tray sliding out of the cultivation chamber can force the constraint plunger to disengage from the first constraint hole through the first guide slope; when the constraint plunger is inserted into the second constraint hole, the external force of the cultivation tray sliding into the cultivation chamber can force the constraint plunger to disengage from the second constraint hole through the second guide slope.

[0011] Furthermore, in this utility model, the end of the aforementioned constraint plunger that is away from the cultivation tray extends at least partially beyond the constraint seat; a limiting end cap is detachably installed on one end of the constraint seat, and the limiting end cap has a stroke limiting groove adapted to the constraint plunger; wherein, the stroke limiting groove maintains the constraint fit between the constraint plunger and the first constraint hole or the second constraint hole by limiting the movement stroke of the constraint plunger.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects: 1. The cultivation tray in this application enables the switching between the cultivation station (inside the cultivation chamber) and the operation station (at least partly located outside the chamber), effectively eliminating the problem of the upper structure blocking the lower layer in traditional multi-layer cultivation, ensuring that the operator has a clear view of the plant, and that there is no space obstruction for the hands and tools during operation, reducing accidental damage to the plant caused by avoiding obstruction.

[0013] 2. In this application, the basic constraint component works in concert with the constraint plunger, guide ramp and reset spring, and only requires a small external force to complete the switching of the cultivation tray position.

[0014] 3. In this application, the constraint intensity can be flexibly switched according to operational needs. The convenience of elastic constraint is retained during routine light operations, while the constraint stability is enhanced by rigid limit during long-term or large-scale operations, adapting to diverse cultivation and management scenarios.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this utility model are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Example

[0018] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a plant cultivation device. A cultivation chamber 2 is defined inside a cultivation cabinet 1. Multiple load-bearing beams 3 (bolted connections) are detachably installed vertically within the cultivation chamber 2. Multiple guide components 4 are spaced apart on each load-bearing beam 3. Each guide component 4 includes two opposing guide carriages 11. A constraint component is fitted to the inner wall of each guide carriage 11. A cultivation tray 5 is slidably embedded between the two guide carriages 11. When the cultivation tray 5 is in the cultivation position, the constraint component confines the cultivation tray 5 within the cultivation chamber 2. When in the operation position, the constraint component at least partially confines the cultivation tray 5 outside the cultivation chamber 2.

[0019] The cultivation tray 5 contains nutrient solution, and a planting plate 6 is fixed to the top of the cultivation tray 5. The planting plate 6 has several planting openings 7, and a planting basket can be inserted into each planting opening 7. The plant can be placed in the planting basket to complete the cultivation process. In actual operation, multiple cultivation trays 5 are evenly distributed on each layer of supporting beams 3 to form a stacked cultivation structure. When the operator needs to perform processing operations on the plants on the target cultivation tray 5, the constraint components can be released from the limiting constraints on the cultivation tray 5, and the cultivation tray 5 can be moved to the operating position. At this time, the constraint components will re-limit and fix the cultivation tray 5.

[0020] The cultivation cabinet 1 is equipped with rotating doors on both sides corresponding to the cultivation chambers 2. These rotating doors can be used to open and close the cultivation chambers 2. When closed, they can prevent external pollutants from entering the cultivation chambers 2 and contaminating the plants, and also form a protective barrier to prevent damage to the plants by small animals. At the same time, a light source device can be installed inside the cultivation chambers 2 to provide stable and sufficient light for plant growth and development.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, a guide groove 12 is provided on the inner side of the guide slide 11 along its extension direction, and guide sliders 10 are respectively provided on both sides of the cultivation tray 5 corresponding to the guide grooves 12. The guide sliders 10 and the guide grooves 12 form a sliding guide engagement. The cultivation tray 5 can slide along the trajectory between the two guide slides 11; when the cultivation tray 5 slides to the cultivation position, the end of the cultivation tray 5 forms an abutment limit with the inner wall of the cultivation chamber 2.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, the side of the cultivation tray 5 is provided with a first constraint hole 8 and a second constraint hole 9 in sequence along its extension direction; when the cultivation tray 5 slides to the cultivation station, the constraint component forms a constraint engagement with the first constraint hole 8, thereby limiting the sliding displacement of the cultivation tray 5 to the outside of the cultivation chamber 2; when the cultivation tray 5 slides to the operation station, the constraint component forms a constraint engagement with the second constraint hole 9, thereby limiting the sliding displacement of the cultivation tray 5 to the inside of the cultivation chamber 2.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the constraint assembly includes a constraint seat 13, a constraint plunger 14, and a return spring 18. The constraint seat 13 is installed on the outer side wall of the guide slide 11, and is arranged near the end of the guide slide 11. An assembly groove 17 is provided on the constraint seat 13. The constraint plunger 14 passes through the assembly groove 17, with one end of the constraint plunger 14 penetrating through the guide slide 11 and extending into the guide groove 12. The return spring 18 is sleeved on the outer side of the constraint plunger 14, with one end of the return spring 18 connected to the inner wall of the assembly groove 17 and the other end connected to the outer wall of the constraint plunger 14.

[0024] The constraint plunger 14 can selectively engage with the first constraint hole 8 or the second constraint hole 9 under the elastic force of the return spring 18 to form a limiting fit. In actual operation, the operator must first apply external force to the constraint plunger 14 to completely disengage the constraint plunger 14 from the guide groove 12 to eliminate interference with the sliding of the cultivation tray 5; when the cultivation tray 5 slides to the preset position, the operator removes the external force applied to the constraint plunger 14, and the constraint plunger 14 engages with the corresponding first constraint hole 8 or second constraint hole 9 under the reset action of the return spring 18, thereby achieving the constraint and limiting of the cultivation tray 5.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, a first guide slope 15 and a second guide slope 16 are respectively provided on both sides of one end of the constraint plunger 14; wherein, when the constraint plunger 14 is engaged in the first constraint hole 8, the external force that causes the cultivation tray 5 to slide outward from the cultivation chamber 2 can force the constraint plunger 14 to disengage from the first constraint hole 8 through the first guide slope 15; when the constraint plunger 14 is engaged in the second constraint hole 9, the external force that causes the cultivation tray 5 to slide inward from the cultivation chamber 2 can force the constraint plunger 14 to disengage from the second constraint hole 9 through the second guide slope 16.

[0026] Specifically, when the cultivation tray 5 is in the cultivation position, the constraint plunger 14 engages with the first constraint hole 8 to form a constraint limit; when the operator needs to switch it to the operation position, the cultivation tray 5 is pulled to move outward of the cultivation chamber 2, the first constraint hole 8 and the first guide slope 15 form a guiding fit, the pressure of the first constraint hole 8 on the first guide slope 15 is decomposed into a component force along the direction of the assembly channel 17, the component force drives the constraint plunger 14 to disengage from the first constraint hole 8 to release the constraint; the operator can move the cultivation tray 5 to the operation position, after reaching the operation position, the constraint plunger 14 engages with the second constraint hole 9 under the action of the return spring 18, realizing the constraint limit of the operation position. Conversely, when the cultivation tray 5 needs to be moved from the operator's position back to the cultivation position, the cultivation tray 5 is pushed to slide into the cultivation chamber 2. The second constraint hole 9 and the second guide slope 16 form a guiding fit. The pressure of the second constraint hole 9 on the second guide slope 16 is decomposed into a component force along the assembly channel 17. This component force drives the constraint plunger 14 to disengage from the second constraint hole 9 to release the constraint, so that the cultivation tray 5 can slide to the cultivation position and be re-engaged by the constraint plunger 14 into the first constraint hole 8 to achieve the limit. In this way, the position switching cycle is completed.

[0027] It should be noted that, with the help of the constraint mechanism formed by the first guide ramp 15 and the second guide ramp 16 on both sides of the end of the constraint plunger 14 and the return spring 18, the positioning of the cultivation tray 5 can be achieved with only a small constraint force. This ensures the structural reliability when the operator performs operations on the plants on the cultivation tray 5 in the positioning state, and also allows the operator to drive the cultivation tray 5 to complete the work position switching by applying a small external force, which significantly improves the convenience of operation.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the end of the constraint plunger 14 away from the cultivation tray 5 extends at least partially beyond the constraint seat 13; a limiting end cap 19 is detachably installed at one end of the constraint seat 13, and the limiting end cap 19 has a stroke limiting groove 20 adapted to the constraint plunger 14; wherein, the stroke limiting groove 20 maintains a stable constraint fit between the constraint plunger 14 and the first constraint hole 8 or the second constraint hole 9 by limiting the movement stroke of the constraint plunger 14.

[0029] The basic constraint mechanism, consisting of the first guide ramp 15 and the second guide ramp 16 of the constraint plunger 14 and the return spring 18, has a constraint force set at a low level. Although this design can meet the positioning requirements for slight or short-term operations, in long-term or large-scale operation scenarios, the continuous external force or instantaneous impact force may easily exceed the elastic constraint threshold of the return spring 18, which may cause the constraint plunger 14 to accidentally disengage from the constraint hole, resulting in unexpected displacement of the cultivation tray 5. Therefore, the constraint capability of relying solely on the basic structure has limitations.

[0030] For example, when the cultivation tray 5 is in the operating position, the constraint plunger 14 is engaged in the second constraint hole 9. At this time, the limiting end cap 19 can be assembled on the end of the constraint seat 13, so that the other end of the constraint plunger 14 is engaged in the stroke limiting groove 20. In this state, if the cultivation tray 5 is pushed to move towards the inside of the cultivation chamber 2, even if the second constraint hole 9 abuts against the second guide slope 16, the constraint plunger 14 will not be able to retract due to the rigid limiting effect of the stroke limiting groove 20, thereby significantly improving the constraint strength on the cultivation tray 5 to meet the working conditions of long-term operation or large-scale operation.

[0031] It should be noted that the constraint seat 13 adopts a hollow structure design, the core function of which is to provide a through-type installation space for the constraint plunger 14, ensuring that both ends of the constraint plunger 14 can extend inward and outward from the constraint seat 13 respectively. One end of the constraint plunger 14 can pass through the guide groove 12, forming a fit with the constraint hole of the cultivation tray 5 to achieve basic limiting; the other end extends out of the constraint seat 13, creating conditions for coordinated limiting with the stroke limiting groove 20 of the limiting end cover 19. This design enables the constraint plunger 14 to meet the elastic constraint requirements during normal workstation switching and adapt to the constraint strength requirements of different scenarios.

[0032] The limiting end cap 19 and the constraint seat 13 can be detachably assembled via a threaded connection. On the one hand, the self-locking characteristic of the threaded engagement prevents external forces from causing loosening and affecting the limiting effect; on the other hand, the detachable design allows operators to flexibly choose whether to install it as needed, thereby adjusting the constraint strength. The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
