Description

Three-dimensional planting system

The invention relates to a planting system, in particular to a three-dimensional planting system suitable for three-dimensional planting.

In the early days, when economic crops such as crops, flowers, etc. were planted, they were planted on the land in a flat manner. In order to increase the yield of economic crops per unit area, the planting of plants has a gradual three-dimensional trend, that is, plants are above and below multiple layers. Way to plant. However, whether plants are planted in a plane or three-dimensionally, they need the cooperation of external environments and conditions such as sunlight, water, fertilizers, medicines, etc., and they need to be harvested after they grow to achieve economic benefits.

The process of converting plants from planar to three-dimensional planting can increase the yield per unit area. However, at present, when three-dimensional planting of plants is carried out, it is generally a way of setting up an extensive irrigation system, so that plants of different heights and different orientations can be planted. To obtain sufficient moisture and fertilizer, the above method not only has high equipment cost and complexity, it is difficult to obtain uniform sunlight, water and fertilizer for each plant in different orientations and heights. Actually, it is difficult for workers to harvest. Keep moving. Therefore, although the existing three-dimensional planting system can increase the yield of cash crops per unit area, it will cause problems such as high equipment costs, inability to allow plants to obtain uniform sunlight, water, fertilizer, and troublesome harvesting and high harvesting costs.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a three-dimensional planting system that can improve at least one of the disadvantages of the prior art.

Therefore, the three-dimensional planting system of the present invention is suitable for planting three plants in a three-dimensional manner, and includes a base frame, a translation mechanism, a rotation guide unit, several planting modules, and several suspension mechanisms.
