Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soilless cultivation technology, and in particular to an indoor vegetable hydroponic rack. Background Technology

[0002] Indoor hydroponics is becoming increasingly popular in home gardening and urban agriculture due to its advantages such as space saving and short growth cycle. The indoor vegetable hydroponic rack, as the core equipment of this technology, provides users with the convenience of efficiently cultivating vegetables in limited indoor spaces.

[0003] To facilitate user adjustments to the position based on changes in indoor lighting or for routine maintenance, many existing hydroponic racks are equipped with wheels for mobility. However, this mobility also brings new problems. Once the hydroponic rack is moved to its designated position, it is usually secured solely by simple wheel locks, which is ineffective on smooth indoor floors. When users perform routine operations such as adding nutrient solution or pruning plants, or when accidental collisions occur, the rack is prone to shaking or displacement, causing nutrient solution to spill and disrupting the stable environment required for plant growth.

[0004] Meanwhile, the stability of the vegetable plant itself faces challenges throughout its growth cycle. As the plant grows larger and its root system becomes more extensive, the weight and tension on the planting cup also increase. Current planting cups are often simply placed in the planting holes of the growing tube, resulting in a loose fit. Under the influence of the frame's swaying or the plant's own weight, the planting cup is prone to tilting, loosening, or even completely detaching from the planting hole. This causes the plant's roots to detach from the nutrient solution and wither rapidly, severely impacting the planting success rate and the user's planting experience.

[0005] In summary, existing indoor vegetable hydroponic racks have significant shortcomings in terms of stability after being moved and the stability of the planting cups during the planting process. These shortcomings together lead to an unstable planting environment and make it difficult to guarantee a high survival rate.

[0006] Therefore, this utility model proposes an indoor vegetable hydroponic rack to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0007] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an indoor vegetable hydroponic rack, which aims to improve the problems of unstable fixation after movement, easy displacement, and easy detachment of the planting cup from the planting hole, leading to planting failure in the existing technology.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an indoor vegetable hydroponic rack, comprising: a support plate, a first bracket and a second bracket vertically fixed on the support plate, a cultivation tube disposed on the support plate, and wheels installed at the bottom of the support plate; as well as a fixing mechanism and an anti-detachment mechanism.

[0009] The first bracket and the second bracket are fixedly connected by a fixing plate and bolts. A foot pedal is rotatably connected between the bottom of the first bracket and the second bracket. The foot pedal is rotatably connected to a transmission rod. The transmission rod is rotatably connected to an inner rod. The inner rod is slidably fitted inside the outer rod. The two ends of the outer rod are respectively rotatably connected to a first fixing rod and a second fixing rod. The other end of the first fixing rod is rotatably connected to the first bracket. The other end of the second fixing rod is rotatably connected to the second bracket. The bottom of both the first fixing rod and the second fixing rod is fixedly connected to a base plate.

[0010] The anti-hair loss mechanism includes a planting cup detachably installed inside the planting hole of the cultivation tube and a gasket sleeved on the outside of the planting cup, wherein silicone dots are distributed on the top surface of the gasket.

[0011] Preferably, the indoor vegetable hydroponic rack further includes a water inlet pipe, a branch pipe connected to the water inlet pipe, and a drain pipe. The branch pipe is connected to the liquid inlet end of the cultivation tube, and the drain pipe is connected to the liquid outlet end of the cultivation tube.

[0012] Preferably, the fixing mechanism further includes a hook spring, the two ends of which are elastically connected to the outer rod and the first bracket, respectively, to provide auxiliary force for locking and unlocking the fixing mechanism.

[0013] Preferably, the washer is clamped between the outer wall of the planting cup and the inner wall of the planting hole of the culture tube to achieve reliable friction locking and sealing.

[0014] Preferably, the inner rod slides within the outer rod along its axial direction to cause the first fixed rod and the second fixed rod to swing around their rotational connection point with the first bracket and the second bracket, thereby causing the base plate to move downward and fit against the ground.

[0015] Preferably, the cultivation tube comprises multiple tubes and is arranged in layers on the support plate to improve the planting efficiency per unit space.

[0016] Preferably, the branch pipe is used to evenly distribute the nutrient solution introduced from the water inlet pipe to multiple cultivation tubes to ensure that each plant receives sufficient nutrients.

[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this utility model, a fixing mechanism consisting of a foot pedal, a transmission rod, inner and outer telescopic rods, and a fixing rod is set up. When the foot pedal is stepped on, the mechanism can drive the base plate to unfold downward and fit against the ground. This solves the problem in the prior art that the indoor hydroponic rack will shift due to instability or accidental collision after being moved to a designated position. It achieves the effect of quickly and conveniently locking the hydroponic rack securely, thereby providing a stable environment for indoor vegetable cultivation.

[0018] 2. In this utility model, by using a gasket with silicone dots on the outside of the planting cup to form an anti-detachment mechanism, the problem of the planting cup loosening and falling off from the planting hole of the cultivation tube due to plant growth or accidental disturbance in the prior art is solved. This causes the plant roots to wither. The high frictional properties of silicone greatly increase the fixation reliability of the planting cup, effectively ensuring that the plant roots are always immersed in the nutrient solution, thereby significantly improving the planting survival rate.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Reference Figures 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of an indoor vegetable hydroponic rack, which aims to solve the problems of unstable fixation after movement and easy detachment of planting cups from planting holes in the existing technology.

[0023] The indoor vegetable hydroponic rack includes a support plate 8, on which a first support 602 and a second support 603 are vertically fixed. A cultivation tube 3 is provided on the support plate 8, and wheels 5 are installed at the bottom of the support plate 8. It includes a fixing mechanism 6 for stable locking and an anti-drop mechanism 7 for preventing the planting cups from falling off.

[0024] The first bracket 602 and the second bracket 603 are fixedly connected by a fixing plate 601 and bolts 604 to form a stable support frame. A foot pedal 606 is rotatably connected between the bottom of the first bracket 602 and the second bracket 603. The foot pedal 606 is connected to the transmission rod 6012 through a rotatable connection point. The other end of the transmission rod 6012 is rotatably connected to the inner rod 609. The outer side of the inner rod 609 slides into the interior of the outer rod 608, forming a telescopic structure. The two ends of the outer rod 608 are respectively rotatably connected. The device is connected to a first fixing rod 6010 and a second fixing rod 6011. The other end of the first fixing rod 6010 is rotatably connected to a first bracket 602, and the other end of the second fixing rod 6011 is rotatably connected to a second bracket 603. A base plate 605 is fixedly connected to the bottom of both the first fixing rod 6010 and the second fixing rod 6011. In addition, the fixing mechanism 6 also includes a hook spring 607. The two ends of the hook spring 607 are elastically connected to the outer rod 608 and the first bracket 602, respectively, to provide auxiliary power for the extension and retraction process.

[0025] The anti-drop mechanism 7 includes a planting cup 701 that is detachably installed in the planting hole of the cultivation tube 3, and a washer 702 that is sleeved on the outside of the planting cup 701. The top surface of the washer 702 has a plurality of silicone dots 703 evenly distributed. In the installed state, the washer 702 is clamped between the outer wall of the planting cup 701 and the inner wall of the planting hole of the cultivation tube 3.

[0026] The action of the fixing mechanism 6 begins with the foot pedal 606. When pressure is applied to the foot pedal 606, the foot pedal 606 rotates around the rotational connection point with the bottom of the first bracket 602 and the second bracket 603, thereby driving the transmission rod 6012, which is rotatably connected to it, to move. The motion force of the transmission rod 6012 is transmitted to the inner rod 609. Since the inner rod 609 is slidably fitted inside the outer rod 608, this force causes the inner rod 609 to slide along its axial direction inside the outer rod 608, thereby changing the overall length of the combination of the inner rod 609 and the outer rod 608. This telescopic action drives the first fixed rod 6010 and the second fixed rod 6011 to swing outward around the rotational connection points with the first bracket 602 and the second bracket 603, respectively, through the rotational connection points at both ends of the outer rod 608. Since the base plate 605 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first fixed rod 6010 and the second fixed rod 6011, the outward swing of the first fixed rod 6010 and the second fixed rod 6011 ultimately causes the base plate 605 to move downward and fit tightly against the ground.

[0027] Through the multi-link motion consisting of foot pedal 606, transmission rod 6012, inner rod 609, outer rod 608, first fixed rod 6010 and second fixed rod 6011, the stepping action is efficiently converted into the downward locking action of the base plate 605, providing parking stability for the hydroponic rack.

[0028] Throughout the entire movement, the hook spring 607, which is elastically connected between the outer rod 608 and the first bracket 602, is always in a stretched or compressed state. The hook spring 607 not only provides a restoring force for the foot pedal 606 to return to its original position, but also provides a continuous elastic preload for the base plate 605 to adhere to the ground, further enhancing the fixing effect.

[0029] To achieve the circulation and supply of nutrient solution throughout the entire planting system, the indoor vegetable hydroponic rack is also equipped with a complete water system, which includes an inlet pipe 1, a branch pipe 2, and a drain pipe 4. The inlet pipe 1 is connected to the branch pipe 2, the branch pipe 2 is connected to the inlet end of the cultivation tube 3, and the drain pipe 4 is connected to the outlet end of the cultivation tube 3. The branch pipe 2 is designed to evenly distribute the nutrient solution introduced from the inlet pipe 1 to multiple cultivation tubes 3.

[0030] To improve the planting efficiency per unit space, the cultivation tube 3 consists of multiple tubes and is arranged in layers on the support plate 8. By stacking multiple layers of cultivation tube 3 in the vertical direction, the number of vegetables that can be planted can be greatly increased within a limited area.

[0031] In order to provide auxiliary force for the locking and unlocking process of the fixing mechanism 6 and enhance the stability in the locked state, a hook spring 607 is also added to the fixing mechanism 6. The two ends of the hook spring 607 are elastically connected to the outer rod 608 and the first bracket 602 respectively, and the elastic potential energy of the spring is used to assist the pressing down and lifting of the base plate 605.

[0032] To further enhance the fixing effect and sealing of the anti-drop mechanism 7, in the specific installation structure, the external dimensions of the planting cup 701 and the internal dimensions of the planting hole of the cultivation tube 3 are closely matched, so that the gasket 702, which is sleeved on the outside of the planting cup 701, can be tightly clamped between the outer wall of the planting cup 701 and the inner wall of the planting hole of the cultivation tube 3 after installation, forming a reliable friction lock and liquid seal.

[0033] Working principle: When the indoor vegetable hydroponic rack needs to be switched from a mobile state to a fixed state, the operator steps on the foot pedal 606. The foot pedal 606 rotates around its pivot point, driving the transmission rod 6012 to move. This, in turn, pushes the inner rod 609 to slide inside the outer rod 608. This sliding action drives the first fixed rod 6010 and the second fixed rod 6011 to unfold outward through the outer rod 608. This causes the base plate 605, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first fixed rod 6010 and the second fixed rod 6011, to descend and fit against the ground, thus providing stable support. During this process, the hook spring 607 provides auxiliary power and continuous preload for the locking action.

[0034] During the planting process, the planting cup 701 is installed inside the planting hole of the cultivation tube 3. The gasket 702, which is fitted on the outside of the planting cup 701, is tightly clamped between the outer wall of the planting cup 701 and the inner wall of the planting hole. The silicone dots 703 distributed on the top of the gasket 702 contact the inner wall of the planting hole to generate high friction. When the plant grows and exerts a downward pull on the planting cup 701, the high friction and the clamping force of the gasket 702 work together to effectively prevent the planting cup 701 from loosening or falling off, thus ensuring a stable growth environment for the plant roots.

[0035] Nutrient solution supply is achieved through a complete water system. The nutrient solution is pumped in through the inlet pipe 1 and evenly distributed to each layer of cultivation tubes 3 through the branch pipe 2. After flowing through the plant roots in the cultivation tubes 3 to provide the water and nutrients required for growth, the excess liquid is collected and discharged through the drain pipe 4 for recycling or periodic replacement.
