Specifically, the nutrient solution storage tank 31 stores nutrient solution that meets the growth needs of hydroponic crops. The nutrient solution pump 32 draws nutrient solution from the nutrient solution storage tank 31, which is then purified and conditioned by the purification and conditioning unit 33 and input into the hydroponic tank 14 through the solenoid valve 15 to ensure the uniformity of plant growth and prevent nutrient over- or under-nutrient.

[0041] The control unit 4 includes a main control module 41 installed in the float box 11. The main control module 41 is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 15, the nutrient solution pump 32 and the purification and conditioning unit 33.

With the cooperation of the nutrient solution storage tank 31, nutrient solution pump 32 and purification and conditioning unit 33, the nutrient solution pump 32 draws nutrient solution from the nutrient solution storage tank 31, purifies and conditions it and delivers it to the roots of the hydroponic plants. This allows for more precise control of the concentration and supply of nutrient solution, meets the needs of plant growth, effectively improves the uniformity of plant growth and prevents nutrient over- or under-nutrient.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] Please see Figure 1-5 The difference from Example 1 is as follows:

[0045] Furthermore, it also includes a power storage unit 2, which includes a charge / discharge management module 21 and a lithium battery pack 22 disposed within the float 11. The charge / discharge management module 21 is electrically connected to the lithium battery pack 22 and the main control module 41. Specifically, the charge / discharge management module 21 is used for intelligent management of the charging and discharging of the lithium battery pack 22 to ensure efficient operation and lifespan of the lithium battery pack 22. A photovoltaic panel 23 electrically connected to the charge / discharge management module 21 is provided at the top of the float 11. Specifically, the photovoltaic panel 23 is mounted on the outer side of the top of the float 11 by bolts and brackets, or the photovoltaic panel 23 floats on the water surface, and the bottom surface of the photovoltaic panel 23 is connected to... An appendage, such as a lightweight material float or a supporting buoy, is provided to support the buoyancy of the battery pack 11. The photovoltaic panel 23 is used for photovoltaic power generation and stores electrical energy in the lithium battery pack 22 through the charge and discharge management module 21. The main control module 41 controls and monitors the status of the lithium battery pack 22 through the charge and discharge management module 21 and performs intelligent management of the lithium battery pack 22. Specifically, the charge and discharge management module 21 obtains parameters such as current, voltage, temperature and capacity of the lithium battery pack 22 and controls the current and voltage of the lithium battery pack 22 during the charge and discharge process. This intelligent control and management of the lithium battery pack 22 improves its service life and performance.

[0046] Furthermore, the power storage unit 2 also includes an impeller generator 25 installed on the bottom surface of the float box 11. The impeller generator 25 is electrically connected to the charge and discharge management module 21. The impeller generator 25 converts the wave energy of seawater into electrical energy for hydroelectric power generation, and stores the energy in the lithium battery pack 22 through the charge and discharge management module 21.

[0047] Furthermore, the power storage unit 2 also includes a wind turbine 24 disposed above the float box 11. The wind turbine 24 is electrically connected to the charge and discharge management module 21. The wind turbine 24 generates wind power and stores energy in the lithium battery pack 22 through the charge and discharge management module 21.

[0048] By cooperating with the charging and discharging management module 21, lithium battery pack 22, photovoltaic panel 23, wind turbine generator 24 and impeller generator 25, the system makes full use of solar energy, wind energy and wave energy to provide a stable power supply, effectively solving the problem of unstable power supply caused by the complexity and variability of the marine environment, and is more conducive to the growth of hydroponic plants and intelligent automated management.

[0049] Furthermore, the purification and conditioning unit 33 includes a mixing tank 331, a water pump 332, and a filter 333. Specifically, the mixing tank 331, the water pump 332, and the filter 333 are all installed inside the float box 11. The filter 333 includes a coarse filter head, a UF membrane filter element, and an RO membrane filter element connected sequentially by pipelines. The filtration end of the coarse filter head passes through the float box 11 and contacts the water area below the float box 11. The filtration end of the coarse filter head is connected to the inlet of the UF membrane filter element through a pipeline. The outlet of the UF membrane filter element is connected to the inlet of the RO membrane filter element through a pipeline. The outlet of the RO membrane filter element is connected to the inlet of the water pump 332 through a pipeline. The UF membrane filter element and the RO membrane filter element... All sewage outlets are connected to the sewage pipeline via one-way valves. The water pump 332 purifies seawater through the filter 333 and then inputs it into the mixing tank 331. The nutrient solution pump 32 inputs nutrient solution into the mixing tank 331 and mixes it with the purified water in a certain proportion to form a diluted solution that meets the growth needs of hydroponic plants. Specifically, both the nutrient solution pump 32 and the water pump 332 are metering pumps. The outlets of both the nutrient solution pump 32 and the water pump 332 are connected to the inlet of the mixing tank 331 through pipelines. The nutrient solution and purified water are mixed in the mixing tank 331 in a preset proportion according to the type and growth stage of the hydroponic plants to meet the growth needs of different types and growth stages of hydroponic plants.

[0050] Furthermore, the purification and conditioning unit 33 also includes a delivery pump 334. The delivery pump 334 inputs the diluted solution formed by conditioning through a solenoid valve 15 at one end of the hydroponic tank 14. Specifically, the inlet end of the delivery pump 334 is connected to the outlet of the mixing tank 331 through a pipeline, and the outlet end of the delivery pump 334 is introduced into the hydroponic plant rack 13 through a pipeline and connected to the solenoid valve 15 at one end of the hydroponic tank 14. The solenoid valve 15 at the other end of the hydroponic tank 14 is connected to the mixing tank 331 through a pipeline to form a return path. Thus, the delivery pump 334, in conjunction with the solenoid valve 15, can quantitatively and specifically deliver the mixed and conditioned diluted solution. Moreover, the solenoid valve 15 at the other end of the hydroponic tank 14 forms a return path with the mixing tank 331, which is more conducive to the recovery of the diluted solution and sufficient conditioning.

[0051] The hydroponic tank 14 is equipped with a first level gauge 16 electrically connected to the main control module 41. The first level gauge 16 is used to monitor the liquid level in the hydroponic tank 14. Specifically, the first level gauge 16 is a photoelectric level sensor. The main control module 41 monitors the liquid level in the hydroponic tank 14 through the first level gauge 16. When the liquid level in any hydroponic tank 14 reaches the highest level, the main control module 41 closes the solenoid valve 15 at its water inlet. When the liquid level in any hydroponic tank 14 reaches the lowest level, the first level gauge 16 is activated. The system 16 sends a low liquid level signal to the main control module 41. The main control module 41 opens the solenoid valve 15 at the water inlet of the hydroponic tank 14 and replenishes the hydroponic tank 14 with nutrient solution through the delivery pump 334. The main control module 41 automatically analyzes the nutrient solution replenishment cycle of the hydroponic tank 14 based on historical low liquid level signal records. When a batch of low liquid level signals appear in the hydroponic tank 14, the system replenishes the hydroponic tank 14 with nutrient solution according to the distribution location and remaining amount of the hydroponic tank 14, from less to more, from high to low, and from far to near.

[0052] The purification and conditioning unit 33 also includes a second level gauge 335 electrically connected to the main control module 41. The second level gauge 335 is used to monitor the liquid level in the mixing tank 331 in real time. Specifically, the second level gauge 335 is a photoelectric level sensor. The main control module 41 monitors the liquid level in the mixing tank 331 through the second level gauge 335. When the liquid level in any hydroponic tank 14 reaches the minimum liquid level, the first level gauge 16 sends a low liquid level signal to the main control module 41. The main control module 41 obtains the liquid level in the mixing tank 331. According to the liquid level data, when the liquid level meets the replenishment requirements, the diluent in the mixing tank 331 is replenished to the hydroponic tank 14 through the transfer pump 334. When the liquid level does not meet the replenishment requirements, purified water and nutrient solution are pumped into the mixing tank 331 through the water pump 332 and the nutrient solution pump 32. The mixture is first mixed and diluted according to the current growth stage of the hydroponic plants, and then the diluent is replenished to the hydroponic tank 14 that has reached the minimum liquid level through the transfer pump 334.

[0053] Example 3

[0054] Please see Figure 1-4 The difference from Example 2 is as follows:

[0055] Furthermore, the control unit 4 also includes a data acquisition unit 42 electrically connected to the main control module 41. The data acquisition unit 42 includes a TDS sensor 422, an EC sensor 423, and a pH sensor 424. The main control module 41 collects the total amount of soluble solids, the content of inorganic salts, and the acidity or alkalinity of the solution in real time through the TDS sensor 422, EC sensor 423, and pH sensor 424. Specifically, the TDS sensor 422, EC sensor 423, and pH sensor 424 can all be detachably connected to the mixing tank 331 and monitor the total amount of soluble solids, the content of inorganic salts, and the acidity or alkalinity of the solution in the mixing tank 331. By monitoring the TDS, EC, and pH values ​​of the diluent through the TDS sensor 422, EC sensor 423, and pH sensor 424, it is more helpful to determine whether the diluent meets the growth requirements of hydroponic plants and to provide accurate data support for the nutrient supply unit 3.

[0056] Furthermore, the data acquisition unit 42 also includes a temperature sensor 425 and a humidity sensor 426. The main control module 41 collects the ambient temperature and the temperature of the diluent in the mixing tank 331 and the hydroponic tank 14 in real time through the temperature sensor 425. Specifically, the temperature sensor 425 for collecting the ambient temperature is set on the top surface of the deck 12 or on the hydroponic plant rack 13. The temperature sensor 425 for collecting the temperature of the diluent is detachably connected to the mixing tank 331 and collects the temperature of the diluent inside the mixing tank 331. The main control module 41 collects the ambient humidity in real time through the humidity sensor 426. Specifically, the humidity sensor 426 is set on the hydroponic plant rack 13 and collects the humidity of the environment in which the hydroponic plants are located. Thus, by collecting the ambient temperature, ambient humidity, and the temperature of the diluent in the mixing tank 331 and the hydroponic tank 14 through the temperature sensor 425 and the humidity sensor 426, it is more conducive to monitoring the environmental factors of hydroponic plants and facilitating the automated management of plant growth.

[0057] Furthermore, the data acquisition unit 42 also includes a light sensor 421. Specifically, the light sensor 421 is installed on the top surface of the deck 12 or the top of the hydroponic plant rack 13. The light sensor 421 is used to collect the real-time light intensity in the environment and output it to the main control module 41. The light sensor 421 can collect the light intensity in the hydroponic plant environment, and understand the growth pattern of hydroponic plants and whether the light intensity meets the growth requirements of hydroponic plants.

[0058] Example 4

[0059] Please see Figure 1-4 The difference from Example 3 is as follows:

[0060] Furthermore, it also includes a plant supplementary lighting unit 5, which includes a plant supplementary light 52 corresponding to the hydroponic tank 14. Specifically, the plant supplementary light 52 is set above the hydroponic tank 14, and both ends of the plant supplementary light 52 are detachably connected to the hydroponic plant rack 13. The plant supplementary light 52 is electrically connected to the main control module 41. The main control module 41 controls the plant supplementary light 52 to supplement the hydroponic plants according to the light intensity. That is, by setting the plant supplementary light 52 above the hydroponic tank 14, the light intensity of the plant supplementary light 52 is automatically adjusted according to the growth needs of the hydroponic plants, thereby supplementing the hydroponic plants with light and ensuring that the photosynthesis of the hydroponic plants proceeds normally.

[0061] The plant supplementary lighting unit 5 also includes a lighting control module 51. Specifically, the lighting control module 51 is installed on each row of hydroponic plant racks 13. The lighting control module 51 is electrically connected to the main control module 41 and the plant supplementary lights 52. Specifically, the main control module 41 controls the on / off state and brightness of the plant supplementary lights 52 in the corresponding area through the lighting control module 51. Thus, the plant supplementary lights 52 on each hydroponic plant rack 13 can be individually controlled through the lighting control module 51, making intelligent management easier.

[0062] Based on the above-mentioned marine hydroponic device utilizing wave energy, wind energy, and solar energy, the present invention also provides a technical solution: a marine hydroponic method utilizing wave energy, wind energy, and solar energy, applied to the above-mentioned marine hydroponic device utilizing wave energy, wind energy, and solar energy, comprising the following steps:

[0065] S2, Obtain cultivation data of hydroponic plants, and calibrate the initial parameters of the dilution solution corresponding to the nutrient solution required for each growth stage of hydroponic plants based on the cultivation data. Specifically, the initial parameters of the dilution solution include the initial ratio of the mixture of purified water and nutrient solution, as well as the initial values ​​of the total amount of soluble solids, the content of inorganic salts, and the pH of the solution.

[0066] The cultivation data includes the cultivation time, cultivation spacing, number of plants in a single hydroponic trough, and total number of plants in the hydroponic plant rack.

[0067] S3. After planting hydroponic plants, the growth stage of the hydroponic plants is obtained based on growth data and cultivation data. The initial dilution parameters are matched according to the growth stage. The dilution with the corresponding initial parameters is input into the roots of the hydroponic plants according to the growth stage of the hydroponic plants at the time of planting. This dilution is used as the initial dilution at the time of planting. Specifically, after the initial dilution is determined, the main control module 41 drives the water pump 332 and the nutrient solution pump 32 to pump clean water and nutrient solution into the mixing tank 331 in proportion for dilution. After mixing and conditioning, the solenoid valve 15 is opened, and the conditioning initial dilution is input into the hydroponic tank 14 through the delivery pump 334.

Specifically, based on the ambient temperature data collected by temperature sensor 425 and the diluent temperature data in hydroponic tank 14 and mixing tank 331, the main control module 41 calculates the average difference between the ambient temperature and the diluent temperature in hydroponic tank 14 and mixing tank 331 over five consecutive days, and uses the ratio of the two as the temperature compensation coefficient of the diluent.

[0070] S6. Obtain ambient humidity data and liquid level data in hydroponic tank 14 and mixing tank 331.
