Potted plant cultivate assembly

A potted plant cultivate assembly includes a frame and multiple rods radially mounted on the frame. A chain wheel is pivotally mounted to a free end of each of the multiple rods. An endless chain is mounted around the multiple chain wheels and driven by a motor. The endless chain has two opposite sides each having a series of suspensions laterally extending therefrom for hanging potted plants. Consequently, the potted plants, hung on the suspensions, are circuitously moved with the endless chain for operator to conveniently plant, manure and spray water by controlling the motor.

Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a cultivate assembly, and more particularly to a potted plant cultivate assembly.

2. Description of Related Art

As well known, the potted plants are usually hung on a balustrade or simply put on the ground. However, a gardening shop usually has no enough area to display all the potted plants to the customer. In addition, the ground may be wet when watering the potted plants such that the water is wasted.

As described above, the conventional potted technology need to be advantageously altered to adequately use the limited area for cultivating more potted plants and saving water resource.

The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the disadvantages of the conventional potted technology.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The main objective of the present invention is to provide an improved potted plant cultivate assembly that is provided for operator to conveniently plant, manure and spray water by controlling the potted plant cultivate assembly.

To achieve the objective, the potted plant cultivate assembly in accordance with the present invention comprises a frame and multiple rods radially mounted on the frame. A chain wheel is pivotally mounted to a free end of each of the multiple rods. An endless chain is mounted around the multiple chain wheels and driven by a motor. The endless chain has two opposite sides each having a series of suspensions laterally extending therefrom for hanging potted plants.

Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a potted plant cultivate assembly in accordance with the present invention; and

FIG. 2 is a partially front plan view of the potted plant cultivate assembly in FIG. 1.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Referring to the drawings and initially to FIGS. 1-2, a potted plant cultivate assembly in accordance with the present invention comprises a frame (10) and a cycle device (not numbered) mounted on the frame (10).

The frame (10) includes a base member (11) and a doorframe (20) is vertically mounted on the base member (11). Two lateral rods (24) horizontally mounted to two opposite sides of the doorframe (20). Three rods (21) radially extends from each of the two lateral rods (24). A chain wheel (210) is pivotally mounted to a free end of each of the six rods (24). An endless chain (22) is mounted around the six chain wheels (210) and supported by the six chain wheels (210). The endless chain (22) has two opposite sides each having a series suspensions (23) laterally pivotally extending therefrom by a first bearing (not numbered). Each suspension (23) is parallel to the base member (11). A second bearing (230) is laterally mounted to a free end of each of the suspensions (23) to ensure the potted plants, hung on the suspensions (24), perpendicularly corresponding to the base member (11). A motor (40) is mounted on the doorframe (20) for driving the endless chain (22). The motor (40) has a shaft extending therefrom and a drive wheel mounted on a free end of the shaft for driving the endless chain. A casing (30) is mounted on the base member (11) and corresponds to the endless chain (22). The top of the casing (30) is concaved and has multiple through holes (31) defined therein such that the overflow water from the potted plants can be collected into the casing (30). A drain (32) is longitudinally connected to the casing (30) to drain the collected water for retrieving water.

The endless chain (22) is rotated when the motor (40) is operated. As a result, the potted plants, hung on the suspensions, are circuitously moved with the endless chain (22) for operator to conveniently plant, manure and spray water by controlling the motor (40).

As described above, the potted plant cultivate assembly in accordance with the present invention comprises the advantages as follow.

1. The present invention is three-dimensional and with multiple suspensions for hanging potted plant. Consequently, the user only uses a small area and plants more potted plants. In addition, the present invention can display more potted plants when being used in a gardening shop.

2. The casing (30) of the present invention can retrieve the overflow water from the potted plants to prevent the potted process from wasting water.

Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.

Claims
