Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of strawberry cultivation technology, specifically a strawberry planting rack. Background Technology
[0002] Strawberries, as a perennial herbaceous berry crop, have soft, juicy, and easily damaged fruits. They also have shallow roots and are susceptible to waterlogging. In large-scale cultivation, using planting racks can effectively prevent the spread of diseases from the ground, improve space utilization, and facilitate harvesting and water and fertilizer management. This is a key cultivation method to ensure the yield and quality of strawberries. Especially in facility agriculture, the rationality of the planting rack structure directly affects planting efficiency, labor intensity, and the strawberry growing environment. Therefore, there are clear requirements for the water storage and retention, drainage and anti-waterlogging, and ease of operation of the planting rack.
[0003] Most strawberry planting racks on the market consist of a main support frame, layered support frames, and planting troughs. The layered support frames are mostly horizontal or slightly inclined, and the planting troughs generally adopt a single rectangular or arc-shaped cross-section structure with vertical side walls. Drainage is usually achieved by directly opening drainage holes at the bottom of the planting trough, and the interior of the planting trough is mostly an integral space without partitioning.
[0004] In practical use, certain problems exist. For example, the lack of a partitioned structure inside the planting trough makes it easy for strawberry roots to become tangled and clump together, affecting nutrient absorption. The vertical sidewall design not only makes it difficult to observe fruit growth but also hinders ventilation inside the trough, increasing the risk of fruit rot. On the other hand, the drainage holes in a single arc or rectangular planting trough can easily lead to direct water loss, preventing the substrate from fully saturating the roots. If the holes are positioned too high, water can easily accumulate at the bottom of the trough, causing root hypoxia and rot. It is difficult to balance the needs of "water retention and root supply" with "prevention of waterlogging and drainage." Therefore, we urgently need a strawberry planting rack to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model provides a strawberry planting rack, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art, such as strawberry roots easily tangling and clumping together, affecting nutrient absorption, easily causing direct water loss, and substrate not being able to fully moisten the roots, through stepped planting troughs, adjustable partitions, inclined baffles and interconnected drainage structure.
[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution: A strawberry planting rack includes a planting trough bolted to a support frame, and further includes: the planting trough is composed of a first arc-shaped segment and a second arc-shaped segment, the first arc-shaped segment and the second arc-shaped segment being arranged in a stepped manner; baffles are symmetrically installed on the upper part of the first arc-shaped segment and the second arc-shaped segment; partitions for dividing the space are detachable and installed in the first arc-shaped segment and the second arc-shaped segment; and drainage holes are opened on the bottom wall of the second arc-shaped segment for drainage.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the distance between the bottom wall of the first arc segment and the bottom wall of the second arc segment is 3mm-5mm.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, at least three sets of placement grooves for placing partitions are provided on the first arc segment and the second arc segment. When the partition is inserted into the placement groove, its bottom wall abuts against the bottom wall of the first arc segment and the second arc segment.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the partition plate is provided with a rectangular array of water-permeable holes for water permeability.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the included angle between the baffle and the centerline of the first arc segment and the second arc segment is in the range of 8°-15°.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the baffle is provided with a slot, and a U-shaped buckle for fixing the drip irrigation pipe is engaged in the slot.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the second arc segment is symmetrically provided with water diversion channels for diversion, and the water diversion channels are connected to the drainage holes to form a diversion channel.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a strawberry planting rack with the following beneficial effects: 1. In this strawberry planting rack, by setting the planting trough into a stepped structure with a first arc segment and a second arc segment, a gradient design of "low-level water storage and high-level drainage" can be formed. Water first soaks the substrate in the first arc segment to meet the needs of the root system. Only when the substrate is saturated does it flow into the second arc segment. This effectively avoids the problem of water loss due to improper drainage hole placement or water accumulation at the bottom in the existing technology. At the same time, the arc-shaped bottom wall can guide the water to be evenly distributed, reducing substrate residue and cleaning dead corners.
[0014] 2. In this strawberry planting rack, multiple sets of placement slots and detachable partitions are set on the first and second arc-shaped sections. The spacing between the partitions can be flexibly adjusted to divide independent planting units according to planting needs. After the partitions are inserted, they abut against the bottom wall of the arc-shaped section to form a closed space, preventing the roots from tangling and clumping together. The water-permeable holes on the partitions can ensure the overall flow of water and nutrients, taking into account both zoned management and water and fertilizer sharing. This solves the problem of root nutrient absorption being obstructed due to the lack of zoning in existing planting troughs.
[0015] 3. In this strawberry planting rack, the inclined baffle replaces the traditional vertical sidewall, which not only makes it easier for growers to observe the growth of the fruit without having to bend over, but also increases the ventilation gap of the trough to reduce humidity and the risk of disease. At the same time, the slots on the baffle and the U-shaped buckles can firmly fix the drip irrigation pipes and prevent uneven water and fertilizer due to displacement. The drainage path formed by the water channel and the drainage hole on the second arc section can quickly collect and directionally discharge excess water, preventing disorderly drainage from polluting the lower planting trough or the ground.
[0016] The parts of this device not covered herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. This utility model effectively solves the core problems of existing strawberry planting racks, such as unbalanced storage and drainage, easy root entanglement, and inconvenient observation and ventilation, through the coordinated design of stepped planting troughs, adjustable partitions, inclined baffles and interconnected drainage structures. Moreover, the overall structure is simple, easy to install and maintain, and can effectively improve the management efficiency and fruit quality of strawberry planting. Attached Figure Description

[0020] 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.
[0021] Example: Reference Figures 1-5 A strawberry planting rack includes a planting trough 1 bolted to a support frame. In this embodiment, the support frame is divided into a main support frame and a layered support frame. There are two main supports framed vertically and symmetrically, with a widened base welded to the bottom to enhance overall stability. Three layers of layered support frames are welded between the two main supports framed vertically from top to bottom. The layered support frames are made of galvanized steel pipes with a diameter of 3cm and an inclination angle of 20°. The high end of the layered support frame is welded to the upper part of the main support frame 30cm from the top, and the low end is welded to the middle part of the main support frame 60cm from the bottom, which facilitates standing and picking. Both the main support frame and the layered support frame are direct references to existing technical solutions.
[0022] Furthermore, the planting trough 1 is integrally molded from a 0.5cm thick PVC board.
[0023] It also includes a planting trough 1 mainly composed of a first arc-shaped section 2 and a second arc-shaped section 3. The first arc-shaped section 2 and the second arc-shaped section 3 are arranged in a stepped manner, and the distance between the bottom wall of the first arc-shaped section 2 and the bottom wall of the second arc-shaped section 3 is 3mm-5mm.
[0024] Here, the distance between the first arc segment 2 and the second arc segment 3 is preferably 5mm. This stepped design can form a gradient structure of "low-level water storage and high-level drainage" in the planting trough 1. When watering, water will first collect in the first arc segment 2, that is, the low level, which can fully soak the planting substrate and meet the water absorption needs of the strawberry roots. Only when the substrate is saturated and the water overflows the step distance will it flow into the second arc segment 3, that is, the high level, avoiding the problem of "direct discharge due to low hole position". In addition, the arc structure conforms to the natural flow law of water and can guide water to be evenly distributed at the bottom of the trough, avoiding local drought or water accumulation. Compared with rectangular troughs, the arc bottom wall has no dead corners, reduces substrate residue, and is easy to clean and maintain.
[0025] Baffles 4 are symmetrically installed on the upper part of the first arc segment 2 and the second arc segment 3. The angle between the baffles 4 and the centerline of the first arc segment 2 and the second arc segment 3 is between 8° and 15°.
[0026] Here, the baffle 4 is preferably designed with a 15° angle to the center line, replacing the traditional vertical sidewall. Planters can clearly observe the growth status of the fruit in the trough without bending over, reducing the labor intensity during harvesting and maintenance. The inclined structure increases the ventilation gap at the top of the trough, allowing air to circulate more smoothly in the trough, reducing humidity and the risk of diseases such as gray mold caused by dampness. At the same time, it avoids mechanical damage caused by direct contact between the fruit and the sidewall. The baffle 4 has a slot 9, and a U-shaped buckle 10 for fixing the drip irrigation pipe is engaged in the slot 9.
[0027] Here, the slot 9 on the baffle 4 cooperates with the U-shaped buckle 10 to firmly fix the drip irrigation pipe, preventing it from shifting or falling off during watering, ensuring that water and fertilizer can be accurately dripped to the roots of each strawberry plant, and solving the problems of traditional binding and fixing not being firm and uneven water and fertilizer supply.
[0028] The partition 5, which is installed in the first arc segment 2 and the second arc segment 3 for partitioning, is disassembled. At least three sets of placement slots 7 for placing the partition 5 are opened on the first arc segment 2 and the second arc segment 3. When the partition 5 is inserted into the placement slot 7, its bottom wall abuts against the bottom wall of the first arc segment 2 and the second arc segment 3. Water-permeable holes 8 for water permeability are arranged in a rectangular array on the partition 5.
[0029] Here, at least three sets of placement slots 7 provide flexible installation positions for partitions 5. Growers can adjust the spacing of partitions 5 according to the strawberry variety and planting density requirements to divide independent planting units of different sizes, achieving precise management of individual strawberry plants. After the partitions 5 are inserted into the placement slots 7, their bottom walls abut against the bottom walls of the arc-shaped sections, forming closed partitioned spaces that effectively block the roots of adjacent strawberries, preventing them from tangling and clustering, allowing the roots to fully extend within the independent units and improving nutrient absorption efficiency.
[0030] Furthermore, the rectangular array of permeable holes 8 on the partition 5, while separating the root system, ensures the flow of water and nutrients throughout the entire trough, preventing localized substrate drought due to partitioning; the detachable design facilitates cleaning and disinfection after the planting season, reducing the risk of disease transmission. Drainage holes 6 are provided on the bottom wall of the second arc-shaped section 3 for drainage. Water diversion channels 11 are symmetrically provided on the second arc-shaped section 3 for diversion. The water diversion channels 11 are connected to the drainage holes 6 to form a diversion channel.
[0031] Here, the drainage path formed by the water channel 11 and the drain hole 6 can quickly collect excess water in the second arc section 3 to the drain hole 6, preventing water from stagnating in the second arc section 3 and forming water accumulation, thus solving the problem of the traditional drain hole 6 being scattered and not draining thoroughly.
[0032] Furthermore, the drainage path can guide the water flow to flow out in a specific direction, reducing the disorderly flow of water at the bottom of the tank and lowering the probability of the substrate being washed away; at the same time, centralized drainage facilitates the subsequent connection of the drainage device and prevents the discharged water from polluting the lower planting trough 1 or the ground environment.
[0033] In this invention, during use, the position of the partition 5 in the placement trough 7 is adjusted according to the strawberry planting density to divide the plant into independent planting units; the U-shaped buckle 10 is snapped into the slot 9, and the drip irrigation pipe is fixed by the U-shaped buckle 10 to achieve precise water supply. After watering, the water first soaks the substrate in the first arc section 2, and the excess water overflows the step distance into the second arc section 3 and is discharged through the drainage hole 6. The water discharged from the drainage hole 6 is collected again by the water inlet trough 11 and then discharged. During the planting process, the fruit can be clearly observed through the inclined baffle 4. The trough has good ventilation, which effectively reduces diseases.
