  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  That is, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 9, the multipurpose rotating device according to the present invention includes a plurality of support rings 20 installed at predetermined intervals along the length direction of the rotating shaft 15, and the support rings 20. A rotating body 10 is provided which is composed of suspension rods 25 arranged at regular intervals on the circumference, and various plants installed on the suspension rods 25 are cultivated while the rotation body is rotated by a driving means. The cultivation tray to be rotated is rotated and cultivated.

  In particular, the rotating body 10 is configured such that the ring gear 30 is coupled to the outer peripheral edges of the plurality of support rings 20 and is engaged with and supported by interlocking gears 42 installed on the left and right of the auxiliary support base 40, A shaft 50 that is decelerated and rotated by a drive motor M at the center is installed along the longitudinal direction of the rotating body 10 at a lower portion on one side of the rotating body 10, and the driving gear 52 on the shaft 50 and the auxiliary support base are installed. And the interlocking gear 42 mesh with each other to rotate the rotating body as a whole.

  In this case, the rotating body 10 is supported by a support ring in which the ring gear 30 is coupled among the plurality of support rings 20, and guide rolls 41 installed on the left and right of the auxiliary support base 40 'shown in FIGS. It is preferable that the support rings are alternately arranged. Further, the drive motor M is configured so as to drive the shaft at a reduced speed by connecting the speed reduction shaft of the speed reducer 51 and a sprocket provided on the shaft 50 in a chain connection.

  In addition, the ring gear 30 fixed to the support ring 20 by fastening bolts or other methods is formed by being joined by split gears 32 that are divided equiangularly on the circumference. The protrusion 33 and the recess 34 are formed to face each other and connected so as to be inserted into each other.

  Further, the rotating body 10 has the connecting hooks 55 alternately arranged on the inner and outer circumferences of the plurality of support rings 20, and the reinforcing wires 56 are continued in a “one” shape or an “X” shape. Connect as follows.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 10, this invention reinforces in the coupling | bond part of the support ring 20 and the suspension rod 25 of the said rotary body 10, or the support stand 27 of the cultivation tray 26 moves to the support ring side. In order to prevent this, the “L” -shaped reinforcing bracket 60 that is locked is coupled.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 11, the present invention forms a water tank 70 through which water flows to the lower part of the rotating body 10, and is cultivated by being suspended from the hanging rod 25 of the rotating body 10 and installed in the cultivation tray 26. Rotate and cultivate by dipping inside the aquarium. Of course, the water tank 70 can be formed separately on the top of the ground, or can be manufactured by forming a space between the ground.

  Reference numeral 100 without description indicates a greenhouse.

  Next, the operation and action of the present invention configured as described above will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the apparatus of the present invention is preferably installed and used inside a greenhouse 100 or a glass greenhouse.

  That is, while rotating the rectangular rotating body 10 inside the greenhouse or glass greenhouse, the cultivation tray 26 for cultivating various plants that are suspended and installed on the support rod 25 of the rotating body is rotated and moved. Then, various plants are cultivated with water supplied by the upper or side sprinkler.

  First, the driving relationship of the rotating body 10 will be described in detail. In the state where the rotational force of the driving motor M is decelerated by the speed reducer 51, the rotating body 10 is disposed in the longitudinal direction of the rotating body 10 at the lower part on one side of the elongated rotating body 10. The shaft 50 installed along is rotated. Due to the rotation of the shaft 50 as described above, the drive gear 52 installed on the shaft at a predetermined interval causes the ring gear 30 coupled to the outer peripheral edges of the plurality of support rings 20 of the rotating body 10 to move on the auxiliary support base 40. Rotate through the interlocking gear 42. Thus, since the ring gear 30 installed on the plurality of support rings 20 of the rotating body 10 is rotated as a whole, the rotating body 10 rotates.

  In this case, the rotator 10 does not transmit power to a certain part, but transmits power uniformly throughout, thereby preventing torsion and operation load.

  Further, the rotating body 10 rotates with a part of the support ring 20 supported by the guide roll 41 of the auxiliary support base 40 ′, and the ring gear 30 coupled to the outer peripheral edge of the part of the support ring 20 provides auxiliary support. Since it rotates while being supported by the interlocking gear 42 of the base 40, the rotator 10 is prevented from dripping.

  In addition, the rotating body 10 continuously connects the reinforcing wires 56 in a “one” shape or an “X” shape by connecting hooks 55 alternately arranged on the inner and outer circumferences of the plurality of support rings 20. While connecting, the drooping of the rotating body 10 is prevented. As described above, the rotating body 10 is further prevented from being twisted or generating an operating load while preventing the rotating body 10 from drooping.

  Therefore, even if the rotator 10 is manufactured to have the maximum length in the longitudinal direction, the rotator 10 operates with constant rotation as a whole, so that the efficiency of use of the apparatus can be further improved.

  Further, according to the present invention, the ring gear 30 coupled to the support ring 20 of the rotating body 10 is formed into a split assembly type, that is, a split gear 32 that is split equiangularly on the circumference, and both ends of the split gear 32 are formed. Since the protrusion 33 and the recess 34 are connected and installed so that they are partially damaged, only the divided gear 32 can be replaced and used continuously.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 10, this invention can be implemented with another form. That is, the portion of the rotating body 10 where the support ring 20 and the suspension rod 25 are joined by welding or the like is joined to the cross-sectional area of the suspension rod, and the problem that the rigidity is weak is suspended. By connecting the “L” -shaped reinforcing bracket 60 to the rod 25, the rigidity is improved, and the end portion of the “L” -shaped reinforcing bracket 60 is installed on the suspension rod 25. It plays a role of locking operation so as to prevent the support stand 27 of the cultivation tray 26 from moving to the support ring side.

  That is, when the rotator 10 rotates, when the cultivation tray 26 moves and moves to the support ring 20 side, there is a risk of malfunction such as the cultivation tray being repeated due to a collision with the support ring 20. However, the "L" -shaped reinforcing bracket 60 can solve the above problem by restricting the cultivation tray 26 from moving to the support ring 20 side.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 11, this invention can be implemented with another form. That is, it is possible to form a water tank 70 in which water flows to the lower part of the rotating body 10 to supply moisture to the plants on the cultivation tray 26 without using a sprinkler, and to perform other hydroponics.

  That is, if a separate water tank is formed under the rotating body 10 or a space is formed on the ground to form a water tank so that water flows, the rotating body 10 is rotated when the rotating body 10 is rotated. Sufficient moisture is supplied to the plants cultivated in the cultivation tray 26 while the cultivation tray 26 suspended and rotated by the suspension rod 25 is alternately and repeatedly immersed in the water tank 70.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 12, this invention can be implemented with another form. That is, the auxiliary support ring 20 ′ is fixed so as to be separated from the inside of each support ring 20. The auxiliary support rings 20 ′ are connected by suspension rods 25 ′ installed at equal intervals on the circumference. The cultivation tray 26 'for cultivating various plants is installed on the hanging rod 25', and is cultivated while rotating.

  That is, the cultivation tray 26 ′ installed on the suspension bar 25 ′ connected to the inner auxiliary support ring 20 ′ together with the cultivation tray 26 installed on the suspension bar 25 connected to each outer support ring 20. By cultivating the plant while rotating, the space can be utilized more efficiently.

  In this case, while the cultivation tray 26 ′ installed on the auxiliary support ring 20 ′ inside the plant of the cultivation tray 26 installed on the outer support ring 20 is positioned inside, the amount of sunlight is increased. Therefore, it is more efficient to cultivate the planting tray 26 'by dividing and planting the shaded plants having at least a good amount of sunlight.

  Therefore, the apparatus of the present invention as described above rotates up and down the cultivation tray in which various plants (vegetables, vegetables, hydroponics, etc.) are cultivated in a limited space such as a greenhouse or a glass greenhouse. Since it grows while moving, it can supply a growth environment and nutrition with good balance to the plant of each cultivation tray, and it can grow in the state where quality and taste were excellent.

  Further, by efficiently rotating the rotating body 10 so that it can be manufactured and used in the maximum length in the longitudinal direction, it is possible to improve the efficiency and economy of the space and to improve the reliability in use. Get higher.

  In addition to cultivating the above-described plant, the apparatus of the present invention suspends and installs a display stand for displaying various products with a suspension rod of a rotating body. It can be used to display objects at the same time and can be used for various other purposes.
