Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of three-dimensional cultivation technology, specifically a three-dimensional cultivation device for oak fern. Background Technology

[0002] Drynaria fortunei, also known as bone-strengthening fern or monkey ginger, is an important medicinal fern. Its dried rhizome has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine, possessing effects such as tonifying the kidneys and strengthening bones, promoting wound healing and relieving pain, and is in high market demand. However, with wild resources declining sharply due to over-harvesting, the standardized artificial cultivation of Drynaria fortunei has become an urgent task for protecting wild resources and meeting medicinal needs. Traditional cultivation of Drynaria fortunei mostly uses pot cultivation. Although pot cultivation is convenient for management, it is usually a flat layout, resulting in low land or space utilization and making it difficult to achieve large-scale production.

[0003] The patent with publication number CN221576279U discloses a three-dimensional fruit and vegetable cultivation device, including a base, a base plate, a water tank, and a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly includes a motor, a belt, a drive shaft, a first upright post, a first stabilizing rod, and a watering component. The base is fixedly connected to the base plate and located below the base plate. The water tank is fixedly connected to the base plate and located above the base plate. The motor is detachably connected to the base plate and located above the base plate. One end of the belt is rotatably connected to the motor and located at the output end of the motor. The drive shaft is rotatably connected to the belt and located at the other end of the belt. The first upright post is rotatably connected to the drive shaft and encloses the drive shaft. The first stabilizing rod is fixedly connected to the first upright post and located on one side of the first upright post.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned device still has the following shortcomings in use: In this type of rotary three-dimensional cultivation system, the cultivation pots are evenly placed on a horizontally extending long strip of rotatable support. This design has a significant operational defect: when carrying out batch planting of plants, harvesting of finished products, or daily management, the operator needs to continuously push the carrier carrying the crops back and forth along the entire length of the device to achieve continuous placement or collection of plants during the movement. This requires a synchronous operation mode of personnel and equipment, which not only greatly increases the labor intensity and operational complexity, but also leads to low work efficiency, seriously limiting the practical application value of the device in modern intensive agriculture. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems existing in the prior art by proposing a three-dimensional cultivation device for oak ferns, which can shorten the operation time and save labor costs.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A three-dimensional cultivation device for oak fern includes a support frame and a water tank. There are two support frames, each with a rotating plate rotatably mounted on it. A connecting rod is fixedly installed between the centers of the two rotating plates. One support frame is equipped with a drive motor, which passes through the corresponding rotating plate and is fixedly connected to the connecting rod. Mounting plates are installed at equal intervals around the two rotating plates, with both ends of the mounting plates hinged to the corresponding rotating plates. Each mounting plate has a placement cavity for placing cultivation pots. A fixing frame is fixedly mounted on the support frame, and the fixing frame is equipped with a driving mechanism that can move the cultivation pots within the placement cavity.

[0008] Preferably, fixing strips are fixedly installed on both sides of the mounting plate, and a sliding groove is provided between the mounting plate and the fixing strips to allow the rim of the basin to move. The height of the sliding groove is adapted to the thickness of the rim of the basin, and a removal groove is provided on one side of the fixing strips.

[0009] Preferably, ball bearings are equidistantly inlaid on the surface of the mounting plate that directly contacts the basin rim.

[0010] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a servo motor, which is mounted on a fixed frame. The output end of the servo motor shaft passes through the fixed frame and is fixedly mounted with a threaded rod. A nut pair is threadedly mounted on the threaded rod, and a fixed block is fixedly mounted on the nut pair. A push plate is slidably mounted on the fixed block.

[0011] Preferably, a hollow rod is fixedly installed on the fixed frame, and spray holes are equidistantly opened on the side of the hollow rod facing the water pool. A delivery pipe is installed at the tail of the hollow rod, and a pump body is installed on the water pool. The input end of the pump body is connected to the water pool, and the end of the delivery pipe away from the hollow rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the pump body.

[0012] Preferably, an electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed on the fixing block, and the other end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed on the side of the push plate away from the mounting plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This invention uses a drive motor to rotate a rotating plate, ensuring all oak fern cultivation pots receive periodic and even sunlight. This effectively prevents uneven growth and promotes uniform development. The motor also rotates the entire cultivation rack, causing all the mounting plates and their pots to cycle sequentially past the operator. Combined with specially designed removal slots on the sides of the mounting plates, this allows operators to efficiently retrieve and place the pots from a fixed workstation, significantly improving work efficiency and reducing labor intensity. Furthermore, the integrated misting and controllable soaking functions precisely simulate the oak fern's native high-humidity environment, achieving a balance between efficient water supply and prevention of root rot, significantly improving space utilization and the level of intelligent cultivation management.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 8A three-dimensional cultivation device for oak fern includes a support frame 1 and a water tank 6. There are two support frames 1, and a rotating plate 2 is rotatably mounted on each of the two support frames 1. A connecting rod 3 is fixedly installed between the centers of the two rotating plates 2. A drive motor 4 is installed on one of the support frames 1. The drive motor 4 passes through the corresponding rotating plate 2 and is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 3. When the drive motor 4 is started, the motor will drive the connecting rod 3 to rotate, thereby synchronously driving the two rotating plates 2 to rotate slowly on the support frame 1. The operator can adjust the orientation of the cultivation frame by controlling the forward and reverse rotation and the speed of the drive motor 4.

[0026] Mounting plates 5 are installed at equal intervals between two rotating plates 2. Both ends of the mounting plates 5 are hinged to the corresponding rotating plates 2, so that the mounting plates 5 are always vertically downward. Each of the mounting plates 5 has a placement cavity 12 for planting pots to be placed in.

[0027] Place the cultivation pots containing oak ferns one by one into the placement cavity 12 of the mounting plate 5. During the cultivation process, periodically (e.g., every morning or according to light monitoring data) start the drive motor 4. The motor drives the entire frame to rotate slowly, so that the mounting plate 5 and the oak fern plants on it, which were originally on the shaded side, gradually turn to the sunlit side, while the plants that were originally facing the sun turn away, so that all the oak ferns can receive light periodically and evenly, preventing the plants from growing crookedly due to phototropism and promoting uniform overall growth.

[0028] A fixed frame 9 is fixedly installed on the support frame 1, and the fixed frame 9 is equipped with a driving mechanism that can move the cultivation pot within the placement cavity 12.

[0029] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, fixing strips 13 are fixedly installed on both sides of the mounting plate 5. A sliding groove 16 is provided between the mounting plate 5 and the fixing strip 13 to allow the rim of the basin to move. The height of the sliding groove 16 is adapted to the thickness of the rim of the basin, and a take-out groove 15 is provided on one side of the fixing strip 13.

[0030] When placing the cultivation pots, the operator inserts the rim of the pot horizontally into the sliding groove 16 through the opening of the removal groove 15. Because the height of the sliding groove 16 is precisely designed to match the thickness of the pot rim, the uniform height restriction prevents the rim of one cultivation pot from sliding onto (or into) the rim of another adjacent cultivation pot. Therefore, the pot is precisely locked and suspended, with only the rim bearing the weight in the groove, ensuring that the bottom of all cultivation pots is at the same level.

[0031] The presence of the slot 15 ensures that the upper part of the pot rim is unobstructed, allowing for easy placement or removal of the cultivation pot.

[0032] like Figure 5As shown, ball bearings 14 are equidistantly embedded on the surface of the mounting plate 5 that directly contacts the rim of the pot. The ball bearings 14 can reduce friction and ensure that the cultivation pot moves smoothly. When the driving mechanism pushes the cultivation pot along the sliding groove 16, the bottom of the rim of the pot contacts the ball bearings 14. The ball bearings 14 convert sliding friction into rolling friction, reducing the resistance to movement. This means that even if a whole row of heavy cultivation pots filled with substrate is pushed, only a small pushing force is required, ensuring the smoothness and efficiency of the servo motor drive and reducing the wear of the rim of the pot.

[0033] like Figure 7 As shown, the driving mechanism includes a servo motor 17, which is mounted on a fixed frame 9. The output end of the shaft of the servo motor 17 passes through the fixed frame 9 and is fixedly mounted with a threaded rod 18. A nut pair 19 is threadedly mounted on the threaded rod 18, and a fixing block 20 is fixedly mounted on the nut pair 19. A push plate 21 is slidably mounted on the fixing block 20.

[0034] When it is time to collect the pots, the servo motor 17 is controlled to rotate in the forward direction, driving the threaded rod 18 to rotate. The nut pair 19 that is engaged with the thread drives the fixing block 20 and the push plate 21 to move forward in a straight line. The push plate 21 pushes the entire row of cultivation pots to the other end (collection end or away from the collection end). The movement of the push plate 21 can be achieved manually so that the push plate 21 does not affect the overall rotation path of the frame.

[0035] The servo motor 17 drives the pusher plate 21 forward, which can move multiple cultivation pots, allowing for rapid directional movement (collection activity) or pushing the cultivation pots away from the take-out slot 15 (placement activity). This allows the operator to be in a fixed position, enabling continuous placement or collection of plants in the placement chamber 12, saving time and improving efficiency.

[0036] like Figure 2 , Figure 6 As shown, a hollow rod 10 is fixedly installed on the fixed frame 9. Spray holes 11 are equidistantly opened on the side of the hollow rod 10 facing the water tank 6. A delivery pipe 8 is fixedly or detachably installed at the inlet of the hollow rod 10 (similar to the existing structure such as the water pipe installation of a fire hydrant). A pump body 7 is installed on the water tank 6. The input end of the pump body 7 is connected to the water tank 6. The end of the delivery pipe 8 away from the hollow rod 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the pump body (7).

[0037] When the ambient humidity is low or the oak fern needs foliar watering and fertilization, the water pump 7 is activated. The water pump, under the action of the pump body 7, pumps the water or nutrient solution in the pool 6 into the hollow rod 10 through the delivery pipe 8, and finally sprays it out from a series of nozzles 11 in the form of fine droplets. These droplets are evenly sprayed on the rotating oak fern leaves, replenishing them with water and nutrients, while increasing the air humidity of the microenvironment, simulating the high humidity environment of its native tropical rainforest.

[0038] It is worth noting that the water level in pool 6 is adjusted by adding water, making it slightly higher than the bottom of the cultivation pots supported by the mounting plate 5 when it is rotated to its lowest position. When the cultivation pots rotate to the lowest position, the bottom of the pots is submerged below the water surface in the pool, and water is automatically absorbed from the bottom through the drainage holes at the bottom of the pots using capillary action. This is an efficient and even water supply method. When the cultivation pots rotate away from the lowest point, excess water will automatically drain out, preventing root rot. This achieves a "soaking-draining" cycle, which is very suitable for plants such as oak ferns that prefer moist conditions but are susceptible to waterlogging.

[0039] Second embodiment: An electric telescopic rod 22 is fixedly installed on the fixed block 20. The other end of the electric telescopic rod 22 is fixedly installed on the side of the push plate 21 away from the mounting plate 5. The push plate 21 can be moved by the electric push rod 22, thereby reducing manual intervention and making it easier to use.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
