Abstract

A cultivation assembly has a container, at least one first engaging structure facing outside of the container, and an engaging member. The engaging member is configured to connect the container of another cultivation assembly side by side. The engaging member has two second engaging structures facing opposite directions. Each one of the two second engaging structures is capable of engaging with one of the at least one first engaging structure. The container of the cultivation assembly is capable of being connected to the container of another cultivation assembly side by side via the engaging member and without wasting a lot of labor to move the container.

Claims (36)

1. A cultivation assembly comprising:

a first container having a surrounding wall erectly disposed, wherein the surrounding wall comprises multiple side plates;

each one of the multiple side plates having

a top face; and

multiple combining holes defined in the top face of the side plate;

at least one first engaging structure facing outward with respect to the first container;

an engaging member configured to connect the first container side by side to a second container having a plurality of side walls that each have a top surface with a plurality of combining apertures therein, the engaging member having

two second engaging structures facing opposite directions, and each one of the two second engaging structures capable of engaging with one of the at least one first engaging structure; and

a combining unit having two engaging rows;

each engaging row having multiple engaging protrusions;

wherein the multiple engaging protrusions of one of the two engaging rows are capable of respectively engaging with the multiple combining holes of one of the multiple side plates of the first container; wherein the multiple engaging protrusions of the other of the two engaging rows are capable of respectively engaging with the combining apertures of one of the plurality of side walls of the second container.

2. The cultivation assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the surrounding wall comprises at least one pillar having a peripheral surface;

the first container comprises

an opening surrounded by the surrounding wall; and

the at least one first engaging structure is formed in the peripheral surface of each pillar of the at least one pillar, wherein a portion of each pillar of the at least one pillar extends to the opening of the first container.

3. The cultivation assembly as claimed in claim 2 , wherein

each one of the at least one first engaging structure is an extending groove; and

each one of the two second engaging structures of the engaging member is an elongated protrusion.

4. The cultivation assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the cultivation assembly comprises multiple connecting members, and each one of the multiple connecting members comprises

a peripheral surface;

a first end; and

a second end disposed opposite to the first end of the connecting member;

the first end of each one of the multiple connecting members is connected to the first container; and

the at least one first engaging structure is formed in the peripheral surface of each one of the multiple connecting members and extends to the second end of each connecting member respectively.

5. The cultivation assembly as claimed in claim 4 , wherein

each one of the at least one first engaging structure is an extending groove; and

each one of the two second engaging structures of the engaging member is an elongated protrusion.

6. The cultivation assembly as claimed in claim 5 , wherein each one of the multiple connecting members further comprises at least one third engaging structure formed in the peripheral surface of each one of the multiple connecting members;

wherein the cultivation assembly further comprises

at least one fence, each one of the at least one fence capable of being disposed between two adjacent connecting members of the multiple connecting members and having

two opposite ends; and

two fourth engaging structures respectively disposed at the two opposite ends of each fence, and

wherein for each fence:

one of the two fourth engaging structures is engaged with one of the at least one third engaging structure formed in the peripheral surface of one of the two adjacent connecting members, and the other one of the two fourth engaging structures is engaged with one of the at least one third engaging structure formed in the peripheral surface of the other one of the two adjacent connecting members.
