Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cultivation equipment technology, specifically relating to a water curtain-type vegetable cultivation component and an aquaponics hydroponic device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are two main types of aquaponics equipment based on existing technology. One is to modify existing ponds and add vegetable growing facilities on the water surface to achieve the effect of aquaponics. The other is a small-scale household aquaponics and hydroponic system.

[0003] Existing home aquaponics and hydroponic systems generally consist of two parts: a vegetable hydroponic section and a fish tank. The water required for vegetable hydroponics is supplied through the vertical circulation of water in the tank. However, most existing vegetable hydroponic sections use relatively complex water delivery pipes to deliver water from the tank to each cultivation layer. This water delivery method results in a small and enclosed root space, which is not conducive to water and oxygen exchange and purification, leading to poor cultivation results. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water curtain-type vegetable cultivation component to solve the problem that existing vegetable cultivation components, which deliver water through pipes, result in a small root planting space and are not conducive to water and oxygen exchange and purification. It also provides an aquaponics hydroponic device that facilitates aquaponics and provides a suitable hydroponic cultivation environment.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] On the one hand, a water curtain type vegetable cultivation component is provided, including a cultivation rack, the cultivation rack having at least one water storage layer and at least one cultivation layer located below the water storage layer and arranged sequentially along the longitudinal direction, each water storage layer having an overflow drain outlet that can form a water curtain, each cultivation layer having a cultivation cavity constructed therein, and the upper surface of the cultivation layer having at least one planting hole communicating with the cultivation cavity.

[0007] The cultivation rack also has water curtain channels distributed longitudinally. Each cultivation chamber of the cultivation layer has an overflow port corresponding to the water curtain channel and is connected to the water curtain channel through the overflow port. The water curtain channel is connected to the water storage layer through the overflow drain port.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the upper part of the cultivation chamber is an upper guide portion formed by tilting downward or bending downward, and the planting hole is provided on the surface of the cultivation layer corresponding to the upper guide portion.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the upper guide portion is formed at a downward inclination, and the surface of the cultivation layer with the planting hole has the same inclination as the upper guide portion.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the lower part of the cultivation chamber is a downwardly inclined lower guide section, which is inclined in the opposite direction to the upper guide section; the overflow port of the cultivation chamber is higher than the bottom end of the lower guide section and forms a water storage tank at the bottom of the cultivation chamber.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the cultivation chamber is open at both ends in the lateral direction to form a ventilation channel.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the outer wall surfaces of the upper guide portion and the lower guide portion are provided with a reflective coating.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the water storage layer has a top-open water storage tank, and the overflow drain outlet is located along the width direction on one side of the water storage tank adjacent to the water curtain channel.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the cultivation rack has a frame-structured mounting frame, the back of which is provided with a waterproof curtain, which forms the water curtain channel on the inside of the frame, and the water storage layer and the cultivation layer are arranged longitudinally on the front of the mounting frame.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the top of the mounting bracket is provided with multiple wall-mounting holes.

[0016] On the other hand, an aquaponics hydroponic device is also provided, including a cabinet and a water curtain vegetable cultivation component as described in any of the above technical solutions, which is installed in the cabinet. The cabinet is equipped with plant light strips. The bottom of the cabinet has a cultivation chamber that communicates with the water curtain channel. The cultivation chamber has a submersible pump installed inside, and the submersible pump is connected to the water storage layer through a pipeline.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the back of the cabinet is provided with a ventilation mesh.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] The water curtain vegetable cultivation component of the present invention can be used as a standalone hydroponic device for vegetable cultivation, or it can be placed in an aquaponics hydroponic device, making it more flexible and practical. Furthermore, by using a water curtain, water can be delivered to each cultivation layer, resulting in a larger and more open root space, which is more conducive to water and oxygen exchange and purification. It also avoids the use of complex water supply pipelines and can accelerate the air flow in the cultivation layer. With the open structure at both ends of the cultivation chamber, the vegetables can obtain more air and water.

[0020] The aquaponics hydroponic device of the present invention enables hydroponic cultivation of vegetables through a water curtain-type vegetable cultivation component, and facilitates the cultivation of fish through the breeding chamber and achieves circulation and purification through the circulation of living water, thereby realizing aquaponics.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1-3 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a water curtain type vegetable cultivation component 12, including a cultivation rack. The cultivation rack has at least one water storage layer 121 and at least one cultivation layer 122 arranged longitudinally below the water storage layer 121. Each water storage layer 121 has an overflow drain outlet 1212 that can form a water curtain. Each cultivation layer 122 has a cultivation cavity 1221. The upper surface of the cultivation layer 122 is provided with at least one planting hole 1222 that communicates with the cultivation cavity 1221.

[0030] The cultivation rack serves as the main body, and can be equipped with a water storage layer 121, with multiple cultivation layers 122 below it, or multiple rows, each row including one water storage layer 121 and multiple cultivation layers 122, without limitation. The water storage layer 121 is mainly used for water storage, and the water inside can flow out through the overflow drain 1212 in a overflow manner, which facilitates the formation of a water curtain. Of course, the overflow drain 1212 has a basic length. The water curtain formed by the overflow drain 1212 hangs vertically in the water curtain channel 124 so as to pass through each cultivation layer 122. The planting hole 1222 facilitates the planting of seedlings, and the cultivation cavity 1221 of the cultivation layer 122 allows the roots of hydroponically grown vegetable seedlings to extend into the cultivation cavity 1221, thereby absorbing water and oxygen from the cultivation cavity 1221, which is conducive to water-oxygen exchange and purification.

[0031] The cultivation rack also has a water curtain channel 124 distributed longitudinally. Each cultivation cavity 1221 of the cultivation layer 122 has an overflow port 1226 corresponding to the water curtain channel 124 and is connected to the water curtain channel 124 through the overflow port 1226. The water curtain channel 124 is connected to the water storage layer 121 through the overflow drain port 1212.

[0032] The water curtain channel 124 allows the water curtain to pass through each cultivation layer 122 from top to bottom. When passing through each cultivation layer 122, the water can enter the cultivation chamber 1221 through the overflow port 1226, thereby providing water to the vegetable seedlings in the cultivation layer 122. When the water level in the cultivation chamber 1221 is higher than the overflow port 1226, the water flows out through the overflow port 1226, forming a water curtain that flows downwards in stages. This facilitates the supply of water to the seedlings in the cultivation chamber 1221, avoiding the problems associated with using a more complex water delivery pipeline.

[0033] Through the above technical solution, the water curtain vegetable cultivation component 12 can be used as a standalone hydroponic device for vegetable cultivation, or it can be placed in an aquaponics hydroponic device, making it more flexible and practical. Furthermore, by using a water curtain, the water for each cultivation layer can be delivered, resulting in a larger root space, which is more conducive to water and oxygen exchange and purification, and also avoids the use of more complex water delivery pipelines.

[0034] In one embodiment, the upper part of the cultivation cavity 1221 is an upper guide portion 1224 formed by tilting downward or bending downward, and the planting hole 1222 is provided on the surface of the cultivation layer 122 corresponding to the upper guide portion 1224.

[0035] The upper guide section 1224 can guide the water flow from the water curtain channel 124 into the cultivation chamber 1221, and allow the guided water flow to pass through the seedlings cultivated in the upper guide section 1224, providing water to the roots of the seedlings. In specific implementation, the upper guide section 1224 can be formed at an angle or by bending, without limitation.

[0036] Furthermore, to facilitate flow guidance, the upper flow guide 1224 is formed at a downward angle, and the surface of the cultivation layer 122 with the planting hole 1222 has the same inclination as the upper flow guide 1224.

[0037] Furthermore, the lower part of the cultivation chamber 1221 is a downwardly inclined lower guide section 1225, the inclination direction of which is opposite to that of the upper guide section 1224; the overflow port 1226 of the cultivation chamber 1221 is higher than the bottom end of the lower guide section 1225 and forms a water storage tank 1223 at the bottom of the cultivation chamber 1221. In this way, the lower guide section 1225 can connect to the upper guide section 1224, guiding part of the water flow guided by the upper guide section 1224 into the water storage tank 1223, so that the cultivation chamber 1221 has a stable amount of water, providing moisture to the seedlings more persistently and maintaining a relatively moist space. Of course, the upper guide section 1224 and the lower guide section 1225 can also easily form a structure that can refract light, so that the seedlings can receive more sufficient light.

[0038] In the specific implementation process, the cultivation chamber 1221 is open at both ends in the horizontal direction to form a ventilation channel. The open ends of the cultivation chamber 1221 facilitate air circulation, thereby obtaining more oxygen. In addition, the flowing water curtain can also accelerate the air circulation in the cultivation chamber 1221, which is more conducive to the growth of seedlings.

[0039] In other embodiments, the outer wall surfaces of the upper guide portion 1224 and the lower guide portion 1225 are provided with a reflective coating.

[0040] The reflective coating can reflect light, and through the angled structure formed by the upper guide part 1224 and the lower guide part 1225, it can reflect light towards the seedlings located between the two guide parts under light irradiation, thereby making the seedlings grow better.

[0041] In an embodiment of this application, the water storage layer 121 has a top-open water storage tank 1211, and the overflow drain outlet 1212 is provided along the width direction on one side of the water storage tank 1211 adjacent to the water curtain channel 124.

[0042] The water storage layer 121 can store water through the water storage tank 1211, and the open top makes it easy to fill it with water. When the water level inside is higher than the overflow drain 1212, it can be discharged into the water curtain channel 124 through the drain, forming a water curtain by overflowing or overflowing.

[0043] In an embodiment of this application, the cultivation rack has a frame-structured mounting frame 123. A waterproof curtain 125 is provided on the back side of the mounting frame 123. The waterproof curtain 125 forms the water curtain channel 124 on the inner side of the frame. The water storage layer 121 and the cultivation layer 122 are arranged longitudinally on the front side of the mounting frame 123.

[0044] The mounting frame 123 has a frame structure. Because it has a waterproof curtain 125 on its back side that provides both concealment and waterproofing, a water curtain channel 124 can be formed inside the mounting frame 123. Multiple water storage layers 121 are located in front of the water curtain channel 124, thus forming a water curtain supply structure. In practice, the waterproof curtain 125 can also be breathable, for example, made of non-woven fabric, hemp, or other similar materials.

[0045] Furthermore, to facilitate the independent use of the water curtain vegetable cultivation component 12, the top of the mounting bracket 123 is provided with multiple wall-mounting holes 1213. The water curtain vegetable cultivation component 12 can be easily fixed by wall mounting through the wall-mounting holes 1213, which is more convenient. Of course, it can also be fixed with fasteners such as bolts through the wall-mounting holes 1213.

[0046] In the specific implementation process, the seedlings are fixed in the planting holes 1222 by planting pots containing culture medium. The bottom of the planting pot has a hollow structure that allows the roots to pass through, which facilitates the roots to absorb water from the cultivation chamber 1221. Moreover, the water curtain vegetable cultivation component 12 can be integrally injection molded, integrally connected by metal materials, or it can be made detachable, without any restrictions.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of this application also provides an aquaponics hydroponic device 1, including a cabinet 11 and a water curtain vegetable cultivation component 12 as described in any of the above technical solutions, disposed in the cabinet 11. The cabinet 11 is provided with a plant light strip 14. The bottom of the cabinet 11 has a cultivation chamber 13 that communicates with the water curtain channel 124. The cultivation chamber 13 is equipped with a submersible pump, which is connected to the water storage layer 121 through a pipeline.

[0048] The water curtain-style vegetable cultivation component 12 is fixed inside the cabinet 11. The cabinet 11 has a door that can be opened; preferably, the door is partially transparent and reflective. Plant light strips 14 can be installed around the inside of the cabinet 11 to illuminate each cultivation layer from front to back, or they can be installed above each cultivation layer 122 to ensure adequate illumination of the seedlings. The cultivation chamber 13 can easily store water and can be used to raise fish. Correspondingly, it can be equipped with an oxygen pump, water filter, and heating components to provide a suitable living environment for the fish. A submersible pump can transport water from the cultivation chamber 13 to the water storage layer 121 through water pipes, thus enabling water circulation for greater convenience.

[0049] Furthermore, in combination Figure 5 As shown, in order to improve ventilation inside the cabinet 11, a breathable mesh 15 is provided on the back side of the cabinet. The breathable mesh 15 is detachable, and by selecting a breathable mesh 15 with a small aperture, it can be made to prevent mosquitoes and insects, making it more practical.

[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
