Problems solved by technology

[0003] But at present, on the one hand, the plant factory structure system is complicated, the maintenance is cumbersome, the energy consumption is too large, the supply of nutrient solution is inconvenient, and the nutrient solution is polluted and wasted to a certain extent, which makes the production cost of crops too high; on the other hand, the scale of the plant factory Excessively large and single planting varieties often result in a backlog of products and increased logistics costs
The above two defects limit the popularization and application of plant factories

Embodiment Construction

[0016] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the description.

[0017] like figure 1 , figure 2 As shown, the device of the present invention is mainly composed of a variable-height plant cultivation unit 17 , an on-demand nutrient solution supply unit 26 , and an adjustable lighting unit 27 . First, adjust the height of the upper cultivation plate 22 and the lower cultivation plate 23 from the illumination unit 27 and the distance between the microporous tube modules 8 according to the plant height and planting density of the plant species. Then the two ends of the microporous tube module 8 are sealed with silica gel plugs 21 respectively, and the exterior tightly wraps the nylon microfiltration membrane 18, and the hydrophilic plant culture substrate strip 19 is placed on the top of the exterior, and the exterior is covered with a reflective waterproof evaporation film 20. After finishing, it is as follows: ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a plant factory, which mainly comprises a rising plant cultivation module unit, an on-demand automatic nutrient solution supply block unit, an adjustable light source module unit, a shell protection cover and a refrigeration system. The plant factory can be adopted by supermarkets and dining rooms to independently plant and sell various plant foods, or be suitable for environment conditions of special zones such as plateaus, deserts, the underground, the south pole, the north pole and space bases to meet the requirements on continuous plant food supply and air purification of personnel having activities in the special environments for a long time, or be adopted by families to plant fresh vegetables independently. The plant factory has a simple structure, is convenient to operate and achieves a high energy utilization rate.

Description

Technical field [0001] This patent relates to a plant factory that can be used in supermarkets and restaurants to produce and sell a variety of plant foods; it can also be used in special environmental conditions such as plateaus, deserts, underground, the North and South Poles, and space bases to meet long-term requirements in special environments. It meets the continuous supply of plant food and air purification needs of active personnel, and can also be used to produce fresh vegetables independently at home. This patent has simple structure, convenient operation and high energy efficiency. Background technique [0002] Due to rapid population growth, dwindling arable land, resource shortages, environmental degradation, pesticide abuse and other issues, traditional food crop production faces huge challenges in terms of yield and safety. The plant factory uses environmental automatic control technology, electronic technology, biotechnology and new materials to continuously...
