Embodiment Construction

[0028] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Such as figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the space station vegetable aeroponic system of the present invention includes an aeroponic module 1 and a control module 6 . There are fixing straps and velcro on the box body for fixing.

[0030] The aeroponics module 1 includes a plant cultivation surface 2 , a planting hole 3 , a liquid delivery pipe 4 and a spraying device 5 . Vegetables are fixed on the plant cultivation surface 2 through the planting holes 3 . After the culture liquid enters the liquid delivery pipe 4 fixed at the bottom of the aeroponics module, the spray device 5 on the liquid delivery pipe 4 atomizes the culture liquid and evenly sprays it out to supply water and nutrients to the vegetables. The plant cultivation surface is made of air-permeable and water-tight hydrophobic material, which can effectively prevent the wast...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of aerospace life support and particularly relates to a vegetable aeroponics system which is mainly applied to vegetable cultivation in a space station. The vegetable aeroponics system mainly comprises plant aeroponics module 1 and control module 6. An air-pervious waterproof hydrophobic material for a plant cultivation face of the plant aeroponics module 1 helps reduce water loss and effectively increase utilization of nutrition and water, thereby improving cultivation benefit. The control module 6 is composed of a plurality of modules and mainly comprises nutrient salt mixing module 10, culture liquid filter modules 15-16, culture liquid disinfecting module 13 and nutrient liquid storage module 9. The use of one multipurpose pump helps reducespace utilization and facilitates launching; supply on demand helps simplify the operation. In addition, the vegetable aeroponics system helps reduce the consumption of energy for load launching.

Description

technical field [0001] The patent of the invention belongs to the technical field of aerospace life support, and in particular relates to a vegetable aeroponic system. It is mainly used in the vegetable cultivation system in the space station. It can effectively improve the utilization rate of nutrients and water, and improve the cultivation efficiency. The whole system is light in design, small in size and easy to operate, which can not only reduce space occupation, but also save energy consumption during launch and carry, and facilitate launch. Background technique [0002] The life support system provides key technical support for the life and living of astronauts, and the space cultivation technology of plants is a key technology in the life support system. Space plant cultivation can not only improve some basic life support elements such as food and oxygen for astronauts, but also improve the mood of astronauts and provide a little spiritual comfort for heavy work. I...
