Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automatic ventilation equipment for skylights, specifically an automatic ventilation equipment for rack and pinion skylights in solar greenhouses. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the main type of ventilation equipment for solar greenhouses is the roll-up ventilation system. This type of equipment mainly consists of a roll-up shaft, a geared motor, a fixed hinge device, and a telescopic guide. The motor drives the roll-up shaft to rotate, thus rolling up or lowering the film and controlling the size of the ventilation opening. While relatively simple to operate, it also has several drawbacks. First, due to the excessive length of the roll-up shaft, repeated operation can lead to poor sealing and incomplete closure of the ventilation opening. Second, after prolonged operation, the flatness of the greenhouse film at the ventilation opening is affected, making it prone to rainwater accumulation. Combined with poor sealing, rainwater can drip into the greenhouse, affecting crop growth and manual operation.

[0003] The pull-rope ventilation device also controls the opening of the vents by a roller, and the power is manually controlled by the roller. This ventilation method is prone to uneven pulling force during operation, or the greenhouse film being caught on the greenhouse steel frame, which can easily tear the greenhouse film.

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 An automatic ventilation device for a rack and pinion skylight in a solar greenhouse is provided in an embodiment of the present invention. It includes: a frame 1, with multiple round rods 17 fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the frame 1. Greenhouse film 1 (2) and greenhouse film 2 (3) are laid together on the multiple round rods 17 and the frame 1. A movable plate 4 is fixedly connected to the lower end of greenhouse film 2 (3). A flipping plate 6 is fixedly connected below the movable plate 4. The bottom of the flipping plate 6 is movably connected to the adjacent round rods 17, and two arc-shaped racks 9 are movably installed on the flipping plate 6. The bottom of both arc-shaped racks 9 extends to the bottom of the frame 1, and gears 10 mesh on the outer sides of both arc-shaped racks 9. A drive shaft 11 is fixedly connected through both gears 10, and a motor 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the drive shaft 11.

[0025] Specifically, when ventilation is needed, the motor 12 can be driven to rotate the drive shaft 11. The drive shaft 11 drives the two gears 10 to rotate synchronously. The two gears 10 drive the two arc racks 9 to slide synchronously. The two arc racks 9 push the corresponding flip plate 6 to move. The flip plate 6 pushes the movable plate 4 to move. The movable plate 4 drives the second greenhouse film 3 to move. At this time, the space between the first greenhouse film 2 and the second greenhouse film 3 gradually expands. After expanding to a certain size, the motor 12 is turned off.

[0026] In particular, the end of the second type of greenhouse film is left with an extra 50 centimeters, which solves the problem of poor sealing of the vents and rain leakage.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown; a fixed base 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the motor 12, and the fixed base 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame 1.

[0028] Specifically, the fixed base 13 is used to achieve a fixed connection between the motor 12 and the frame 1, thereby ensuring the stable performance of the motor 12 during subsequent operation.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown; the end of the drive shaft 11 away from the motor 12 is rotatably connected to a support block 18, and the support block 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame 1.

[0030] Specifically, the support block 18 provides support to the end of the drive shaft 11, improving the stability of the drive shaft 11 and gear 10, and preventing the gear 10 from disengaging from the arc rack 9.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figures 3-4 As shown; the bottom of the flip plate 6 is fixedly connected to a movable sleeve 7, which is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the adjacent round rod 17.

[0032] Specifically, the rotating connection between the flip plate 6 and the round rod 17 is achieved through the movable sleeve 7, ensuring that the flip plate 6 can move in an arc around the round rod 17, lifting the greenhouse film 3 to form a skylight for ventilation.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-4 As shown; a hinge 8 is installed between the flip plate 6 and the arc-shaped rack 9.

[0034] Specifically, the hinge 8 enables the movable connection between the flip plate 6 and the arc-shaped rack 9, so that the arc-shaped rack 9 can smoothly push the flip plate 6 to move when it moves.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-4 As shown; both arc-shaped racks 9 are fixedly connected to limit plates 14 on their outer walls, and limit grooves 15 are opened on the outer walls of the limit plates 14. Limit rods 16 are slidably connected to the inner cavity of the limit grooves 15, and one end of the limit rods 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 1.

[0036] Specifically, by using the cooperation of the limiting groove 15 and the limiting rod 16, the arc-shaped rack 9 is limited to an arc-shaped motion trajectory to ensure that the arc-shaped rack 9 will not derail from the gear 10.

[0037] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-4 As shown; the arc-shaped rack 9 is arranged in an arc shape, and the arc-shaped rack 9 and the movable sleeve 7 are concentrically arranged.

[0038] Specifically, this setting prevents motion interference when the arc-shaped rack 9 drives the flip plate 6 to make an arc-shaped movement.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-4 As shown; a sealing strip 5 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the movable plate 4.

[0040] Specifically, the sealing strip 5 ensures a good seal between greenhouse film 1 2 and greenhouse film 2 3.
