Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of Astragalus membranaceus cultivation technology, and in particular to a soilless cultivation frame and cultivation method for the traditional Chinese medicine Astragalus membranaceus. Background Technology

[0002] Astragalus is a well-known and commonly used traditional Chinese medicine with a long history of application. It is an excellent herb for tonifying qi and strengthening the exterior, draining pus, promoting diuresis and eliminating toxins, and promoting wound healing and tissue regeneration. Its remarkable efficacy has made it popular among doctors and patients, and it enjoys a high reputation both domestically and internationally. When cultivating astragalus, both pedestal cultivation and hydroponics can be used. When using hydroponics, planting racks are required to minimize the land area occupied.

[0003] Current planting racks for soilless cultivation of Astragalus membranaceus use water-storage boxes for planting, and the water in multiple boxes is periodically circulated and filtered through a circulating component. In order to facilitate the removal of impurities in the boxes by the water flow, a certain flow rate is used. When the water flow is too fast, it may cause the roots of Astragalus membranaceus to shake, and the roots of adjacent Astragalus membranaceus may easily become entangled, making it difficult to transplant. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a soilless cultivation frame and cultivation method for Astragalus membranaceus, a traditional Chinese medicine, that can overcome or at least partially solve the above problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A soilless cultivation rack for Astragalus membranaceus (a traditional Chinese medicine) includes: a planting rack body, and further includes: multiple planting boxes fixedly connected to the planting rack body at equal intervals; a controller fixedly connected to one side of the planting rack body; a planting board fixedly connected to the planting box; a grid board fixedly disposed in the planting box, with the grid board disposed on the upper side of the planting board; a partition frame disposed in the planting box, with a first gap between the partition frame and the lower end of the planting box; a first connecting pipe disposed between two adjacent planting boxes, with a drain pipe disposed at the bottom of the lowermost planting box, and a circulating water supply component and a filter component disposed between the drain pipe and the uppermost planting box; both the first connecting pipe and the drain pipe are equipped with electronic flow valves.

[0006] Furthermore, the separator frame is provided with multiple receiving slots, and the receiving slots are distributed in a matrix.

[0007] To facilitate the transplanting of Astragalus membranaceus, preferably, the planting board is detachably connected with multiple planting mesh panels.

[0008] To facilitate the circulating water supply to the planting box, the circulating water supply component further includes a water storage tank fixedly connected to the lower side of the planting frame body. The water storage tank is connected to a drain pipe. A water pump is provided on one side of the water storage tank. The pump's pumping end is connected to the water storage tank. The pump's draining end is fixedly connected to a second connecting pipe. One end of the second connecting pipe is connected to the uppermost planting box through the pump.

[0009] Preferably, the filter assembly includes a limiting frame fixedly disposed within a water storage tank, and a first filter plate is slidably connected within the limiting frame.

[0010] To facilitate the filtration of small particulate impurities in the water, a filter box is fixedly connected to one side of the planting frame body. A second sealing door is provided on one side of the filter box. The filter box is connected to the water storage tank. A filter chamber is provided inside the filter box. An activated carbon filter screen is provided inside the filter chamber. The water pump is located inside the filter box, and the second connecting pipe is connected to the filter chamber. A first cavity is provided on the upper side of the filter chamber, and a second cavity is provided on the lower side of the filter chamber. The second cavity is connected to the water storage tank. The filter chamber is connected to the first cavity. A circulation pipe is fixedly connected between the first cavity and the uppermost planting box.

[0011] To facilitate the filtration of impurities discharged from the drain pipe, a first sealing door is detachably connected to one side of the water storage tank, and a second filter plate is slidably arranged inside the limiting frame, with the second filter plate being horizontally arranged, and the first filter plate and the second filter plate being fixedly connected.

[0012] To facilitate the detection of water level inside the planting box, a water level sensor is further fixedly connected inside the planting box.

[0013] To prevent excessive shaking of the upper roots of Astragalus membranaceus, a base plate is fixedly connected to the lower side of the planting box. An air storage chamber is provided between the base plate and the bottom of the planting box. Multiple exhaust ports matching the receiving slots are opened on the base plate, and a one-way valve is provided in each exhaust port. An air pump is fixedly connected to one side of the planting frame body. A first air supply pipe is fixedly connected to the exhaust end of the air pump. A second air supply pipe is fixedly connected between the first air supply pipe and the air storage chamber.

[0014] A method for cultivating the Chinese medicinal herb Astragalus membranaceus mainly includes the following steps: Step 1: Plant the astragalus on the planting board. After the roots of the astragalus grow, they will grow into the dividing frame. Step 2: Add an appropriate amount of culture medium to the planting box and carry out hydroponics for Astragalus membranaceus. Step 3: When it is necessary to circulate and filter the water in the planting box, the controller controls the circulating water supply component to supply water to the top planting box, and the controller controls the electronic flow valve to open so that the water circulates in multiple planting boxes. Step 4: Filter the water flowing out of the last planting box using the filtration component.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a soilless cultivation rack for the traditional Chinese medicine Astragalus membranaceus, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This Chinese herbal medicine, Astragalus membranaceus, is grown using a soilless cultivation rack. The Astragalus membranaceus plants are placed on the planting board and planted. The Astragalus membranaceus roots grow downwards. When it is necessary to circulate and purify the water in the planting box, the controller controls the opening of the circulating water supply component, the filter component, and the electronic flow valve to circulate and filter the water in multiple planting boxes. The water flow speed can also be appropriately increased. The roots of Astragalus membranaceus are protected by the partition frame, which effectively prevents the roots of Astragalus membranaceus from shaking excessively with the water flow, causing adjacent roots to entangle and affecting subsequent transplanting.

[0016] 2. This soilless cultivation rack for Astragalus membranaceus uses multiple dividing frames to separate the roots of Astragalus membranaceus. At the same time, multiple planting nets are set on the planting board to facilitate the subsequent transplanting of individual plants. The planting nets can be, but are not limited to, disposable plastic planting nets. Multiple receiving slots can effectively improve the protection of the Astragalus membranaceus roots and prevent the roots from tangling together during growth, which would affect subsequent transplanting.

[0017] 3. This soilless cultivation rack for Astragalus membranaceus uses a controller that adjusts the electronic flow valve based on the water level sensor value to lower the water level in each planting box by 5 centimeters relative to the initial water level. Then, the controller activates the air pump, which delivers gas to the air storage chamber and then discharges it through multiple exhaust ports. The ejected air bubbles float upwards, facilitating the slow replacement of water in the container and allowing impurities attached to the roots to fall off, thus effectively improving the cleaning effect on the water and Astragalus membranaceus roots in the planting box.

[0018] The parts of this device not described herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. This invention effectively prevents the Astragalus roots from being excessively shaken by the water flow, causing adjacent Astragalus roots to become entangled and affecting subsequent transplanting. At the same time, it effectively improves the cleaning effect of water and Astragalus roots in the planting box. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1-6 A soilless cultivation rack for Astragalus membranaceus (a traditional Chinese medicine) includes: a planting rack body 1, and multiple planting boxes 2, which are equidistantly fixedly connected to the planting rack body 1; a controller 101, which is fixedly connected to one side of the planting rack body 1; a planting plate 202, which is fixedly connected inside the planting box 2; a grid plate 201, which is fixedly installed inside the planting box 2 and is located on the upper side of the planting plate 202; a partition frame 204, which is installed inside the planting box 2 and has a first gap between the partition frame 204 and the lower end of the planting box 2; a first connecting pipe 206, which is installed between two adjacent planting boxes 2; a drain pipe 207 is installed at the bottom of the lowermost planting box 2; a circulating water supply component and a filter component are installed between the drain pipe 207 and the uppermost planting box 2; and an electronic flow valve 211 is installed inside both the first connecting pipe 206 and the drain pipe 207.

[0023] When cultivating Astragalus membranaceus hydroponically, the Astragalus membranaceus to be planted is placed on the planting board 202 for planting. The Astragalus membranaceus roots grow downwards. When it is necessary to circulate and purify the water in the planting box 2, the controller 101 controls the opening of the circulating water supply component, the filter component and the electronic flow valve 211 to circulate and filter the water in multiple planting boxes 2. The water flow speed can be appropriately increased. The roots of Astragalus membranaceus are protected by the partition frame 204, thereby effectively preventing the roots of Astragalus membranaceus from shaking excessively with the water flow, causing adjacent roots of Astragalus membranaceus to entangle with each other and affecting subsequent transplanting.

[0024] Example 2: Refer to Figures 1-6 A soilless cultivation rack for Astragalus membranaceus is basically the same as in Example 1. The further difference is that the partition frame 204 is provided with multiple receiving slots 205, and the receiving slots 205 are distributed in a matrix.

[0025] Multiple planting mesh panels 203 are detachably connected to the planting board 202.

[0026] The roots of Astragalus membranaceus are separated by multiple dividing frames 204, and multiple planting nets 203 are set on the planting board 202 to facilitate subsequent single-plant transplanting. The planting nets 203 can be, but are not limited to, disposable plastic planting nets 203. Multiple receiving slots 205 can effectively improve the protection of the Astragalus membranaceus roots and prevent the roots from tangling together during growth, which would affect subsequent transplanting.

[0027] Example 3: Reference Figures 1-6 A soilless cultivation rack for Astragalus membranaceus is basically the same as in Example 1. Furthermore, the circulating water supply component includes a water storage tank 3 fixedly connected to the lower side of the planting rack body 1. The water storage tank 3 is connected to a drain pipe 207. A water pump 406 is provided on one side of the water storage tank 3. The pumping end of the water pump 406 is connected to the water storage tank 3. The draining end of the water pump 406 is fixedly connected to a second connecting pipe 407. The second connecting pipe 407 is connected to the uppermost planting box 2 through one end of the water pump 406.

[0028] The filter assembly includes a limiting frame 303 fixedly installed in the water storage tank 3, and a first filter plate 301 is slidably connected inside the limiting frame 303.

[0029] A filter box 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the planting frame body 1. A second sealing door 403 is provided on one side of the filter box 4. The filter box 4 is connected to the water storage tank 3. A filter chamber 401 is provided inside the filter box 4. An activated carbon filter screen 402 is provided inside the filter chamber 401. A water pump 406 is provided inside the filter box 4, and a second connecting pipe 407 is connected to the filter chamber 401. A first cavity 404 is provided on the upper side of the filter chamber 401, and a second cavity 405 is provided on the lower side of the filter chamber 401. The second cavity 405 is connected to the water storage tank 3. The filter chamber 401 is connected to the first cavity 404. A circulation pipe 408 is fixedly connected between the first cavity 404 and the uppermost planting box 2.

[0030] A first sealing door 304 is detachably connected to one side of the water storage tank 3. A second filter plate 302 is slidably arranged inside the limiting frame 303, and the second filter plate 302 is horizontally arranged. The first filter plate 301 and the second filter plate 302 are fixedly connected.

[0031] When the water in the planting box 2 is circulated and replaced, the controller 101 controls the electronic flow valve 211 to open and the water pump 406 to start. The water in the planting box 2 flows downward at a specified speed. At the same time, the water pump 406 continuously draws water from the second chamber 405 and supplies the water to the filter chamber 401 for filtration. The filtered water enters the uppermost planting box 2 through the circulation pipe 408, thereby effectively circulating and filtering the water in the planting box 2 and effectively preventing excessive impurities in the water in the planting box 2 from affecting the planting effect of Astragalus membranaceus.

[0032] Water flowing into the water storage tank 3 through the drain pipe 207 is filtered by the first filter plate 301 and the second filter plate 302 to remove large impurities. Then, it is filtered again by the activated carbon filter 402 to remove small impurities, thereby effectively improving the filtration effect of the planting box 2.

[0033] Example 4: Reference Figures 1-6 A soilless cultivation rack for Astragalus membranaceus is basically the same as in Example 1. Furthermore, a water level sensor 210 is fixedly connected inside the cultivation box 2.

[0034] The water level in the planting box 2 is obtained in real time by the water level sensor 210. When the water in the planting box 2 is circulated and filtered, the controller 101 detects the water level information in the planting box 2 through the water level sensor 210, and then controls the corresponding electronic flow valve 211 through the controller 101 to keep the water level in the planting box 2 at a uniform height, thereby effectively preventing the water in the planting box 2 from overflowing.

[0035] Example 5: Refer to Figures 1-6A soilless cultivation rack for Astragalus membranaceus is basically the same as in Example 1, but further, a base plate 208 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the planting box 2, an air storage chamber 212 is provided between the base plate 208 and the bottom of the planting box 2, a plurality of exhaust ports 209 matching the receiving slots 205 are provided on the base plate 208, and a one-way valve is provided in the exhaust port 209, an air pump 102 is fixedly connected to one side of the planting rack body 1, a first air supply pipe 103 is fixedly connected to the exhaust end of the air pump 102, and a second air supply pipe 104 is fixedly connected between the first air supply pipe 103 and the air storage chamber 212.

[0036] When circulating and filtering the water in the planting box 2, the controller 101 adjusts the electronic flow valve 211 according to the value of the water level sensor 210, so that the water level in each planting box 2 drops by 5 cm relative to the initial water level. Then, the controller 101 controls the air pump 102 to start, and the air pump 102 delivers gas to the air storage chamber 212, and then discharges it through multiple exhaust ports 209. The ejected bubbles float upward, which facilitates the slow replacement of water in the receiving tank 205. At the same time, it facilitates the removal of impurities attached to the roots and the removal of bad roots, thereby effectively improving the cleaning effect of water and Astragalus root system in the planting box 2.

[0037] Example 6: A method for cultivating the traditional Chinese medicine Astragalus membranaceus, mainly including the following steps: Step 1: Plant the astragalus on the planting board 202. After the roots of the astragalus grow, they will grow into the partition frame 204. Step 2: Add an appropriate amount of culture medium to planting box 2 to carry out hydroponics of Astragalus membranaceus. Step 3: When it is necessary to circulate and filter the water in the planting box 2, the controller 101 controls the circulating water supply component to supply water to the uppermost planting box 2, and the controller 101 controls the electronic flow valve 211 to open, so that water circulates in multiple planting boxes 2. Step 4: Filter the water flowing out of the last planting box 2 using the filtration component.
