However, the existing soilless cultivation devices still show a low level of automation and mechanization, and most production links still need to be completed manually, which is labor-intensive and inefficient, restricting the production benefits of greenhouses. In addition, my country's current agricultural production labor force is in short supply and aging, and it is urgent to improve the mechanization level of facility cultivation, realize labor-saving production, maximize production potential in limited greenhouse space, and improve the efficiency of greenhouse production. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention provides a soilless cultivation device and a method for adjusting the spacing between planting grooves, which will solve the technical problem of automatically adjusting the spacing between planting grooves so that the spacing between planting grooves can adapt to the needs of different growth stages.

[0005] The technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] Bracket;

[0008] At least comprising two first rails arranged at intervals and two second rails corresponding to the first rails, the first rails and the second rails are placed on the bracket, first pushers are arranged at equal intervals on the first rails, second pushers are arranged at equal intervals on the second rails, and the distance between two adjacent first pushers is greater than the distance between two adjacent second pushers;

The width of the planting trough is not greater than the distance between two adjacent second push pieces. The height of the bottom of the planting trough is higher than the height of the track.

[0012] In the present technical solution, two first rails are arranged at intervals on the bracket, and two second rails are arranged at intervals, and the corresponding first rails and second rails are connected by a telescopic member, so that the driving device drives the first rail to move. When the first rail moves to the point where the telescopic member is stretched to the maximum, the first rail drives the second rail to move, and when the second rail moves to the second push member thereon to the bottom of the planting groove, the second rail will push the planting groove to move under the action of the second push member. When the distance moved by the planting groove is equal to the spacing between the two adjacent second push members, the first rail stops, and the driving motor drives the first rail to move in the opposite direction to restore the second rail to its original position. The above operation is repeated. At this time, the spacing of the movement of the planting groove is the distance between the two adjacent second push members. When the planting groove moves to the second push member close to the first rail, after the first rail is restored to its original position, the first push member close to the second rail on the first rail is against the planting groove. When the first rail is moved again, the distance moved by the planting groove on the first rail is the distance between the two adjacent first push members, so as to adjust different spacings and thus change the spacing between the planting grooves.

In this embodiment, the device can be designed according to the above relationship. When the planting trough moves on each track, the distance between the bottom support plate 22 of the planting trough and the push member on the corresponding track is W.

In this embodiment, the specific form of the telescopic rod is not limited, as long as it can play a telescopic role.

[0073] like Figure 7 As shown, when the telescopic member 8 is static, the distance between the first push member and the second push member close to each other on the first track and the second track is equal to the spacing between two adjacent second push members; when the telescopic member 8 is stretched to the maximum, the distance between the first push member and the second push member close to each other on the first track and the second track is equal to the spacing between two adjacent first push members.

[0074] like Figure 1-3 ,as well as Figure 6As shown, the driving device 4 includes: a driving motor 41, a rotating shaft 44, a gear set 42, a moving rack 43 and a travel limiter 10. The driving motor 41 and the gear set are fixed on a fixed bracket 46, and the fixed bracket 46 is fixed on the bracket 1; the rotating shaft 44 is connected to the driving motor 41 to transmit the power of the driving motor 41; the gear set 42 is connected to the rotating shaft 44 to transmit power; the moving rack 43 is meshed with the gear set 42, and the two ends of the moving rack 43 are fixed to the first track by fixing members 45, and the travel limiter 10 is fixed on the bracket 1. In this embodiment, the travel limiter 10 cooperates with the driving motor 41 to achieve a constant distance for driving the first track to move once.

[0075] Specifically, the present invention provides a soilless cultivation device designed as follows:

[0076] (1) The automated soilless cultivation device mainly includes the following parameters: the distance (Y) of the track 3 near the driving device 4 controlled by the travel limiter 10, the stretching spacing (M) of the telescopic member 8, the distance (W) between the starting position of the push member 32 and the bottom support plate 22 of the corresponding upper planting trough 2, the number of telescopic members 8 (L), the installation spacing (H) of the push members 32 on the track 3, and Y, M, L, W, and H satisfy the following relationship:

[0077] Y=M*L+W+Hn, wherein L=n-1, n=1, 2, 3...n, representing the 1st track, the 2nd track, the 3rd track...the nth track respectively, wherein the distance between the pushers 32 on the nth track is the smallest.

[0078] By applying the above parameter relationship expressions, the parameters of the relevant accessories of the soilless cultivation device are determined according to actual production needs, and the automated soilless cultivation device required for production is customized.

[0079] In a specific embodiment, the automated soilless cultivation device includes 6 tracks, and the installation spacing (H) of the corresponding pushers 32 on the tracks are respectively 75, 105, 135, 165, 195, and 225 mm; 6 tracks 3 of different specifications are connected in sequence through 5 telescopic parts 8, and the stretchable spacing (M) of each telescopic part 8 is 30 mm; if the travel limiter 10 controls the track 3 close to the driving device 4 to move 275 mm at a time, the width of the planting trough 2 is 75 mm, and the distance (W) between the starting position of the pusher 32 and the corresponding bottom support plate 22 of the upper planting trough 2 is 50 mm. As the individual plants continue to grow and increase, the planting trough 2 gradually moves forward, and the planting trough 2 is moved one by one from the track 3 with pushers 32 of 75mm spacing to different types of tracks 3 such as 105, 135, 165, 195, and 225mm. The spacing between plants on adjacent tracks 3 gradually increases by 30mm, and the maximum plant spacing is 225mm. The spacing between pushers 32 on the first track is 225mm, the spacing between pushers 32 on the second track is 195mm, the spacing between pushers 32 on the third track is 165mm, the spacing between pushers 32 on the fourth track is 135mm, and the spacing between pushers 32 on the fifth track is 225mm. The spacing between the pushers 32 on the sixth track is 105mm, the spacing between the pushers 32 on the sixth track is 75mm, the spacing between the two adjacent tracks differs by 30mm, and the distance that the planting trough on each track 3 moves once is the distance between the two adjacent pushers 32 on the track 3. In this embodiment, the distance between the two adjacent pushers 32 on the sixth track and the fifth track is equal to the distance between the two adjacent pushers 32 on the sixth track when the telescopic member 8 is not stretched; when the telescopic member 8 is stretched, the distance between the two adjacent pushers 32 on the sixth track and the fifth track is equal to the distance between the two adjacent pushers on the fifth track, and so on.

[0080] Further, based on the above embodiment, the stretchable spacing (M) of the telescopic member 8 is increased to 40 mm, according to the relationship: Y = M*L + W + Hn, where L = n-1, (n = 1, 2, 3...6, representing the first track, the second track, the third track...6, respectively, the spacing of the pusher 32 on the sixth track is the smallest),

[0081] The moving distance of the first track: 275 = 40 * 0 + W + H1, the moving distance of the second track: 275 = 40 * 1 + W + H2, ..., 275 = 40 * 5 + W + H6,

[0082] Then W+H1=275,W+H2=235……,W+H6=75,and W <H6(1),

[0083] In another specific embodiment, the minimum installation spacing (H6) of the pusher 32 is set to 50mm, then the distance (W) between the starting position of the pusher 32 and the corresponding upper planting groove 2 support plate 22 is 25mm, that is, the planting groove 2 width is greater than 25mm, but not greater than 50mm. According to the relationship (1), the installation spacing (H) of the pushers 32 on the six types of tracks 3 are: 50, 90, 130, 170, 210, 250mm; the planting groove 2 gradually moves from the 50mm track 3 to different types of tracks 3 such as 90, 130, 170, 210, 250mm, etc., and the spacing between plants on adjacent tracks 3 gradually increases by 40mm, and the maximum plant spacing is 250mm.

[0084] Furthermore, based on the above embodiment, the distance (Y) that the travel limiter 10 controls each track 3 to run once is increased to 350 mm. According to the relationship: Y=M*L+W+Hn, where L=n-1, (n=1, 2, 3...6, representing that the spacing between the pushers 32 on the first track, the second track, the third track...the sixth track is the smallest),

[0085] The moving distance of the first track: 350 = 30 * 0 + W + H1, the moving distance of the second track: 350 = 30 * 1 + W + H2, ..., 350 = 30 * 5 + W + H6,

[0086] Then W+H1=350,W+H2=320......W+H6=200,and W <H6(2),

[0087] If the minimum installation spacing (H1) of the pusher 32 is set to 150mm, the distance (W) between the starting position of the pusher 32 and the corresponding upper planting trough 2 support plate 22 is 50mm, that is, the width of the planting trough 2 is greater than 50mm, but not greater than 150mm. According to the relationship (2), the installation spacing (H) of the pushers 32 on the six types of tracks 3 are: 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, 300mm; the planting trough 2 gradually moves from the track 3 of 150mm specification to different types of tracks 3 such as 180, 210, 240, 270, 300mm, so that the spacing between plants gradually increases by 30mm, and the maximum plant spacing is 300mm.

[0088] During specific use, the number of planting troughs 2 used and the number of planting holes on the planting troughs 2 can be designed according to specific planting needs, and the width of the planting troughs 2 is also designed according to actual planting needs. The planting troughs 2 with a width of 150 mm are suitable for vegetable varieties with larger individual plants or for setting multiple planting holes on the planting troughs 2 for cultivation.

[0089] A method for adjusting the spacing between planting grooves comprises the following steps:

[0090] S10, placing the planting trough 2 between two adjacent second pushing members on the second track.

[0091] S20, the driving device 4 drives the first track to move until the telescopic member 8 is stretched to the maximum, the first track drives the second track to move, when the second push member moves to abut against the bottom of the planting trough 2, the second track drives the planting trough 2 to move, and when the planting trough 2 moves the spacing of the first push member on the first track, the first track stops moving;

[0092] S30, the driving device 4 drives the first track in step S20 to move in reverse direction and return to its original position;

[0093] S40, repeating steps S20 and S30 according to the spacing required for plant growth.

[0094] In different growth stages, the steps between step S30 and step S40 include:

[0095] S31, repeating steps S20-S30, when the planting groove 2 on the second track moves to the second pusher close to the first track, performing steps S20 and S30 again, the planting groove 2 close to the first track moves to the first track.

[0096] The steps between step S31 and step S40 also include:

[0097] S32, repeating steps S20-S30, so that the spacing of the moving planting grooves 2 on the first track is the spacing between two adjacent second pushing members.

[0098] During the specific adjustment, steps S20-S30 are repeated to move the plant from the track 3 where the distance between two adjacent pushers 32 is the smallest to the track 3 where the distance between two adjacent pushers 32 is the largest.

[0099] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered as the protection scope of the present invention.
