Detailed Implementation

[0042] To better understand and implement this invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0044] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0045] The following is a reference appendix. Figures 1-11 This invention describes a plant cultivation structure and a vertical farm, as exemplified by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0046] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1-3 , a plant growing structure, comprising: a plant growing module 1; wherein the plant growing module 1 comprises a plant growing box 11 and a nutrient solution outlet 12, the nutrient solution outlet 12 is in communication with the plant growing box 11, and a nutrient solution inlet 13 is at least partially higher than the inner bottom surface of the plant growing box 11; and a pouring module 2; wherein the pouring module 2 comprises a pouring piece 21, and when the plant growing module 1 contacts the pouring piece 21, the plant growing module 1 is arranged to be inclined so that at least part of the nutrient solution in the plant growing box 11 is discharged through the nutrient solution outlet 12.

[0047] The plant growing box 11 contains nutrient solution and plants are cultivated therein. When the plant growing module 1 normally travels, because the nutrient solution outlet 12 is at least partially higher than the inner bottom surface of the plant growing box 11, a portion of the nutrient solution in the plant growing box 11 remains for plant growth, and the highest liquid level of the nutrient solution in the plant growing box 11 is level with the nutrient solution outlet 12. In order to solve the problem of rotting caused by nutrient solution spilling onto other plant leaves, the plant growing structure is provided with the pouring module 2. When the plant growing module 1 travels to the pouring module 2, it contacts the pouring piece 21 so that the plant growing module 1 is inclined. After being inclined, the liquid level of part of the nutrient solution is higher than the nutrient solution outlet 12, so that a portion of the nutrient solution is discharged from the nutrient solution outlet 12. Therefore, the highest liquid level of the nutrient solution in the plant growing box 11 is always lower than the nutrient solution outlet 12. Therefore, when the plant growing module 1 normally travels, even if it slightly shakes, it is not easy to cause the nutrient solution to spill, so it is not easy to cause the problem of rotting of other plant leaves.

[0048] It should be noted that the nutrient solution discharged from the nutrient solution outlet 12 is collected to avoid the discharged nutrient solution spilling onto other plant leaves.

[0049] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1-3 , a plant growing structure, the plant growing box 11 is provided with a pouring portion 111, one end of the pouring portion 111 is provided with an abutting portion 112 in contact with the pouring piece 21, and the projection of the abutting portion 112 to the plant growing box 11 is located outside the plant growing box 11; and the pouring piece 21 is arranged as a pouring track, the pouring track is provided with a first inclined surface 211 in contact with the abutting portion 112, and the first inclined surface 211 is arranged to be inclined from low to high along the forward direction of the plant growing module 1.

[0050] In order to realize the tilting of the plant growth module 1, the abutment portion 112 in the plant planting structure is in contact with the first inclined surface 211 of the tilting member 21, and the first inclined surface 211 is arranged from low to high, so that the abutment portion 112 travels along the first inclined surface 211 from low to high, and the plant growth box 11 is tilted synchronously by the tilting portion 111 to discharge part of the nutrient solution, so that the highest liquid level of the nutrient solution in the plant growth box 11 is always lower than the nutrient solution outlet 12; and the structure is simple, the first inclined surface 211 arranged by tilting and the abutment portion 112 cooperate to smoothly discharge the nutrient solution during the travel of the plant growth module 1, and the manufacturing cost is low.

[0051] In some embodiments, with reference to Figures 1-3 , the plant planting structure, the tilting portion 111 includes a main plate 1111 and an extension plate 1112, the main plate 1111 is fixedly connected to the plant growth box 11, and the abutment portion 112 is arranged at one end of the extension plate 1112 away from the main plate 1111; wherein the extension plate 1112 is arranged on the side of the main plate 1111 away from the nutrient solution outlet 12.

[0052] In order to increase the discharge amount of the nutrient solution from the nutrient solution outlet 12 during tilting, the plant planting structure arranges the extension plate 1112 on the side of the main plate 1111 away from the nutrient solution outlet 12, for better understanding, see Figure 3 When the plant growth module 1 is tilted to the left, because the extension plate 1112 and the nutrient solution outlet 12 are arranged away from each other, for example, the nutrient solution outlet 12 is arranged at the leftmost side in the plant growth box 11, and the extension plate 1112 is arranged at the rightmost side of the bottom of the main plate 1111, when tilted to the left, the nutrient solution in the plant growth box 11 is tilted to the left, because the nutrient solution outlet 12 is located at the leftmost side, compared with other positions, more nutrient solution can be discharged from the nutrient solution outlet 12, and the highest liquid level of the nutrient solution in the plant growth box 11 is lower than the nutrient solution outlet 12, which is more difficult to cause the problem of nutrient solution spilling and causing other plant leaves to rot.

[0053] In some embodiments, with reference to Figures 1-3 , the plant planting structure, the tilting track is also provided with a second inclined surface 212 and a horizontal surface 213, the first inclined surface 211, the horizontal surface 213 and the second inclined surface 212 are connected in sequence along the forward direction of the plant growth module 1, and the second inclined surface 212 is arranged from high to low along the forward direction of the plant growth module 1.

[0054] In order to make the plant growth module 1 move more smoothly on the dumping track, reduce the sense of jam, the dumping track is sequentially provided with the first inclined surface 211, the horizontal surface 213 and the second inclined surface 212, and the abutting portion 112 can move on the first inclined surface 211, the horizontal surface 213 and the second inclined surface 212 in sequence. For example, when the plant growth module 1 slides on the first inclined surface 211, it will be inclined to the left, when the plant growth module 1 slides on the horizontal surface 213, it will remain in the left-inclined state, and when the plant growth module 1 slides on the second inclined surface 212, it will gradually return to the horizontal state. During the movement, part of the nutrient solution can be discharged, the movement is smooth, the sense of jam is reduced, and the plants are prevented from being jolted out of the plant growth box 11 during the discharge of the nutrient solution.

[0055] In some embodiments, the abutting portion 112 can be specifically provided as a roller or a circular disc-shaped structure, and the abutting portion 112 is pivotally connected to the extension plate 1112.

[0056] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1-3 , the plant planting structure further comprises a nutrient solution inlet 13, the nutrient solution inlet 13 and the nutrient solution outlet 12 are arranged on both sides of the plant growth box 11, and the nutrient solution inlet 13 is arranged upward and the nutrient solution outlet 12 is arranged downward.

[0057] In order to facilitate the addition of nutrient solution, the plant planting structure is provided with the nutrient solution inlet 13, and the nutrient solution inlet 13 is upward, so that the user only needs to set a device for adding nutrient solution above the travel path of the plant growth module 1, such as a nutrient solution storage tank and a faucet switch connected to the nutrient solution storage tank. After the faucet switch is opened, when the plant growth module 1 travels to the nutrient solution storage tank, the nutrient solution will enter the plant growth box 11 from the nutrient solution inlet 13 for plant growth.

[0058] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 4-6 , the plant planting structure further comprises: a pair of conveyors 3; wherein a plurality of plant growth modules 1 are arranged between the pair of conveyors 3, the dumping portion 111 is arranged on both sides of the plant growth box 11, and the pair of main plates 1111 are pivotally connected to the pair of conveyors 3; and the conveyor 3 forms a conveying path, the conveying path comprises a straight path and a wave-shaped path which alternately and sequentially upward and downward, the wave-shaped path and the straight path form a closed loop path; and the dumping module 2 is arranged below the straight path.

[0059] In order to reduce the area occupied by planting, the conveyor 3 in the plant planting structure forms two conveying paths, a wavy path and a straight path. The wavy path enables the plurality of plant growth modules 1 to move up and down alternately, and increases the effective length of the whole, so that more plant growth modules 1 can be arranged and more plants can be cultivated. In addition, the wavy path can minimize the total length and effectively reduce the area occupied by planting, so that the number of plants cultivated is the largest in the smallest area.

[0060] It should be noted that the straight path is arranged below the wavy path, and the pouring module 2 is arranged below the straight path, so that the pouring module 2 is at the lowermost part of the whole conveying path, and the partial nutrient solution is discharged in the inclined state without affecting the leaves of other plants, and the leaves of other plants can be better protected.

[0061] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 4-6 , the plant planting structure, each conveyor 3 comprises a conveyor belt 31, a driving gear 32 and a plurality of driven gears 33, wherein the conveyor belt 31 is engaged with a plurality of driven pulleys and the driving gear 32, wherein a pair of main plates 1111 are respectively pivoted to a pair of conveyor belts 31; and a plurality of driven gears 33 are arranged alternately on the wavy path, and a driven gear 33 and a driving gear 32 are arranged at both ends of the straight path; further comprising a common drive shaft 34 arranged between the pair of driving gears 32 for synchronously driving the pair of conveyors 3; further comprising a driving motor 35 for driving one of the driving gears 32.

[0062] In order to realize the synchronous driving of the pair of conveyors 3, one of the conveyors 3 in the plant planting structure forms a wavy path with one part of the conveyor belt 31 by alternately arranging a plurality of driven gears 33, and forms a straight path with another part of the conveyor belt 31 by a driven gear 33 and a driving gear 32. Therefore, since the conveyor 3 has a pair, the driving gear 32 also has a pair, and the common drive shaft 34 is arranged between the pair of driving gears 32.

[0063] When the driving motor 35 is started, the driving motor 35 drives one of the driving gears 32 to rotate, and synchronously drives the other driving gear 32 through the common drive shaft 34, and then synchronously drives the pair of conveyors 3, so as to realize the synchronous driving of the pair of conveyors, and ensure the stable movement of the plurality of plant growth modules 1.

[0064] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1-4 and Figure 5, the plant growing structure further comprises a nutrient solution recovery tank 4; wherein the pouring track is arranged on the top of the nutrient solution recovery tank 4, and the nutrient solution recovery tank 4 is provided with a liquid inlet 41; when the plant growing module 1 is arranged in an inclined manner, part of the nutrient solution discharged from the nutrient solution outlet 12 flows into the nutrient solution recovery tank 4 through the liquid inlet 41.

[0065] In order to be able to collect the nutrient solution discharged from the plant growing module 1, the plant growing structure is provided with the nutrient solution recovery tank 4, so that when the plant growing module 1 is arranged in an inclined manner, the nutrient solution discharged from the nutrient solution outlet 12 can flow into the nutrient solution recovery tank 4 through the liquid inlet 41, and the nutrient solution can be collected in the nutrient solution recovery tank 4.

[0066] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 The nutrient solution recovery tank 4 further comprises a water pump 42, which is used to pump the nutrient solution flowing into the nutrient solution recovery tank 4 to other places. Specifically, the water pump 42 can be arranged in the liquid inlet 41.

[0067] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 The plant growing structure further comprises a plurality of plant production promotion lamps 5; wherein the plurality of plant production promotion lamps 5 are arranged side by side above the plurality of plant growing modules 1. In this embodiment, in order to promote the photosynthesis and growth of plants, the plant growing structure is further provided with the plurality of plant production promotion lamps 5 to provide illumination for plants.

[0068] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 8-11 The nutrient solution outlet 12 is arranged at the bottom of the plant growing box 11, and a blocking piece 6 is arranged on the top of the nutrient solution outlet 12, and the blocking piece 6 forms a liquid inlet channel 61 in communication with the nutrient solution outlet 12.

[0069] When the nutrient solution is added to the plant growing box 11, it will not be directly discharged from the nutrient solution outlet 12 due to the arrangement of the blocking piece 6, but will remain a certain amount of nutrient solution in the plant growing box 11 for plant growth. Only when the liquid level of the nutrient solution is higher than the blocking piece 6, the nutrient solution can enter the liquid inlet channel 61 and be discharged from the nutrient solution outlet 12. Therefore, the plant growing box 11 will always maintain a certain amount of nutrient solution, and the amount of nutrient solution retained is determined by the height of the blocking piece 6. Because the liquid level of the nutrient solution is higher than the blocking piece 6, it will flow away, and the liquid level of the nutrient solution is lower than the blocking piece 6 to remain in the plant growing box 11.

[0070] Therefore, the plant growing structure can automatically discharge the nutrient solution, avoid the problem of burning seedlings caused by excessive nutrient solution, and also retain a certain amount of nutrient solution for plant growth. Therefore, it is not necessary to use a drain plug to discharge the nutrient solution and seal the drain port as in the prior art, and the problem of leakage of residual nutrient solution is avoided, and sufficient nutrient solution is ensured for plant growth.

[0071] More importantly, the plant planting structure is provided with the pouring module 2, when the plant growth module 1 travels to the pouring module 2, the plant growth module 1 will contact the pouring piece 21 to make the plant growth module 1 tilt, after the tilt, part of the liquid level of the nutrient solution will be higher than the top end of the blocking piece 6, and then enter the liquid inlet channel 61, and then discharge part of the nutrient solution from the nutrient solution outlet 12, so that the highest liquid level of the nutrient solution in the plant growth box 11 will always be lower than the nutrient solution outlet 12. And when the plant growth module 1 travels normally, because the blocking piece 6 itself has a certain height, even if it shakes slightly, it is not easy to cause the nutrient solution to spill, so it is not easy to cause the problem of rotting of other plant leaves.

[0072] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 8-11 , according to the plant planting structure, the plant growth box 11 includes a bottom plate 113 and a side plate 114, the nutrient solution outlet 12 is disposed through the bottom plate 113 and located at one corner of the bottom plate 113; further comprising a first blocking plate 62 and a second blocking plate 63, the first blocking plate 62 and the second blocking plate 63 are vertically arranged, and the first blocking plate 62, the second blocking plate 63 and the side plate 114 form the blocking piece 6 to surround the nutrient solution outlet 12.

[0073] The plant growth box 11 is composed of the bottom plate 113 and the side plate 114 to form a storage space for retaining the nutrient solution, in this storage space, the nutrient solution outlet 12 is disposed at one corner of the four corners, and the first blocking plate 62, the second blocking plate 63 and the side plate 114 are used as the blocking piece 6 of the nutrient solution outlet 12, so that a certain amount of nutrient solution can be formed in the storage space; and the side plate 114 is also ingeniously used in the formed blocking piece 6, effectively reducing the use of parts.

[0074] In some embodiments, the plant growth box 11 includes a bottom plate 113 and four side plates 114, the four side plates 114 are arranged on the top of the bottom plate 113 and sequentially connected head to tail, and the first blocking plate 62, the second blocking plate 63 and two adjacent side plates 114 form the blocking piece 6 to surround the nutrient solution outlet 12. Therefore, the plant growth box 11 is composed of the bottom plate 113 and the four side plates 114 to form a storage space for retaining the nutrient solution, and the first blocking plate 62, the second blocking plate 63 and the two adjacent side plates 114 are used as the blocking piece 6 of the nutrient solution outlet 12 to form a certain amount of nutrient solution in the storage space; and the two side plates 114 are also ingeniously used in the formed blocking piece 6, which can further reduce the use of parts.

[0075] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 9 and Figure 11According to the plant planting structure, the middle part of the bottom plate 113 is protruded downward along the length direction, so that the nutrient solution outlet 12 is higher than the recessed part of the bottom plate 113, which can increase the overall nutrient solution capacity to promote plant growth.

[0076] In some embodiments, the blocking piece 6 is a blocking cylinder with a middle part penetrating structure, and the bottom of the blocking cylinder is sealed to the top of the nutrient solution outlet 12. This utilizes the integrally formed blocking cylinder as the blocking piece 6, and the middle part penetrating structure as the liquid inlet channel 61. During manufacturing, the blocking cylinder only needs to be assembled to the top of the nutrient solution outlet 12, which is simple and fast.

[0077] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 8 and Figure 9 According to the plant planting structure, the top of the plant growing box 11 is open, and the cover plate 14 is detachably connected to the opening. The cover plate 14 penetrates a plurality of plant placing holes 141 along the height direction.

[0078] The cover plate 14 is detachably connected to the top of the plant growing box 11, and the cover plate 14 is provided with a plurality of plant placing holes 141. Each plant placing hole 141 can cultivate plants, and a plurality of plants can be cultivated in the same plant growing box 11, which can increase the total number of cultivated plants and improve the cultivation efficiency.

[0079] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 8 According to the plant planting structure, the plurality of plant placing holes 141 are arranged in a staggered two-row structure.

[0080] The plurality of plant placing holes 141 are arranged in two rows, and the plant placing holes 141 in the two rows are staggered one by one. Since a plurality of plants are cultivated at the same time, each plant has sufficient growth space, and the adjacent plants are not too close to affect the growth.

[0081] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 11 According to the plant planting structure, the width of the nutrient solution inlet 13 increases from bottom to top, so that the caliber of the nutrient solution inlet 13 is larger, which can receive more nutrient solution in the same time, and effectively accelerate the supplement and addition of nutrient solution.

[0082] According to Figure 7 The vertical farm according to the embodiments of the present application includes the plant planting structure described above, and further includes a container 7, wherein the plant planting structure is installed in the container 7, and the container 7 at least partially includes a light-transmitting glass 71 to provide part of the light for the plants.

[0083] In some embodiments, the plant planting structure can not only be applied in the container 7, but also can be applied in a glass greenhouse, a greenhouse shed, etc., wherein natural sunlight and the plant production promoting lamp 5 can be used together to illuminate the plants.
