Problems solved by technology

[0003] Among the existing technologies, there are the following problems. Due to the large amount of water required in the cultivation process, artificial watering cans are required to spray and water 2-3 times a day. The labor intensity is high, the control of the watering amount is not accurate, and water cannot be recycled. resource
And if the water does not flow, it is easy to form stagnant water, which is very unfavorable to the growth of plants.

Embodiment Construction

[0020] as attached figure 1 Shown: the nutrient solution enters the supply funnel 3 from the nutrient solution supply pipeline 2 through the nutrient solution nozzle 1, and flows through the vertical planting pipeline 4 to irrigate the cultivation substrate 9, and the excess nutrient solution will flow from the nutrient solution outlet 6 at the lower end to the recovery funnel 8 Collect to the nutrient solution recovery pipeline 7 to recover the nutrient solution.

[0021] The nutrient solution circulates evenly in the system to ensure the stability and health of the vertical farm.

[0022] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention in any form. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present invention still belong to the present invention. within the scope of the technical solution of the invention.

Abstract

The invention provides a vertical farm. A vegetable stereoscopic culture mode is innovatively put forward through an existing building, the vertical space layout advantages and characteristics are brought into full play, the problem that cultivated land resources are lacked in the current world is solved, the urban heat island effect can be reduced, the inside and outside temperature of the building are adjusted, energy is saved, the urban air quality is improved, and economic benefits are improved. By means of the scheme, the vertical farm comprises a nutrient solution spraying nozzle, a nutrient solution supply pipeline, a supply hopper, a vertical planting pipeline, plants, a nutrient solution outlet, a nutrient solution recovery pipeline, a recovery hopper, a culture medium and a water-permeable substrate container. The vertical farm is characterized in that a nutrient solution passes through the nutrient solution spraying nozzle from the nutrient solution supply pipeline, enters the supply hopper, and flows through the vertical planting pipeline to be poured on the culture medium, and the redundant nutrient solution can flow to the recovery hopper from the nutrient solution outlet at the lower end to be collected in the nutrient solution recovery pipeline to be recovered. The nutrient solution evenly circulates and flows in the system, and the stability and health of the vertical farm are ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of vertical agriculture, and in particular relates to a vertical farm. Background technique [0002] With the rapid increase of population, the acceleration of urbanization, and the frequent occurrence of extreme weather, land and other farming resources are in short supply, and it is imminent to find new effective planting models. With the maturity of plant factory technology, vertical farming developed on its basis has received extensive attention. [0003] Among the existing technologies, there are the following problems. Due to the large amount of water required in the cultivation process, artificial watering cans are required to spray and water 2-3 times a day. The labor intensity is high, the control of the watering amount is not accurate, and water cannot be recycled. resource. And if the water does not flow, it is easy to form stagnant water, which is very unfavorable to the growth of plants. Contents of t...
