Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aquaculture and planting technology, specifically relating to a vertical integrated aquaponics device. Background Technology

[0002] Soilless cultivation uses a nutrient solution rich in plant nutrients instead of water and soil. The nutrient solution comes from two sources: one is a prepared compound nutrient solution containing chemical fertilizers, and the other is fish excrement that has been decomposed into nitrogen fertilizer by bacteria.

[0003] Hydroponics using chemical fertilizer nutrient solutions involves preparing the necessary nutrients for the plants and placing them in a circulating water system. This method promotes rapid plant growth. Stacked hydroponic systems have been used to improve upon traditional hydroponic systems, expanding planting areas and reducing equipment requirements. This is achieved because the planting containers are hollow in the middle, allowing the nutrient solution to drip from the top and directly contact the plant roots. The main problems with chemical fertilizer nutrient solution hydroponics are: the so-called nutrient solution used is essentially various chemical fertilizers, meaning the plants are growing in a pure fertilizer environment; and the water in the growing containers needs to be changed regularly, which can cause environmental pollution if it enters the sewer system.

[0004] Aquaponics utilizes the decomposition of fish excrement by bacteria into nitrogen fertilizer, which vegetables then absorb to purify the pond water, creating a balanced ecological cycle. Commercial aquaponics systems typically include a fishpond, a fish waste filter, a biological filter, and planting troughs. Smaller, home-made aquaponics systems consist of a fishpond or tank at the bottom, with a shelf above it holding a container filled with lightweight gravel, where vegetables are planted. A pump draws water from the fishpond into the container above; when the water level reaches a certain height, a siphon in the container opens, releasing water back into the fishpond below. This process repeats every 30 minutes. This is the most basic structure.

[0005] The main drawbacks of existing aquaponics systems are: the planar structure requires a robust framework to support the water and gravel within the grower, necessitates a large footprint, results in a small growing area, and demands sophisticated equipment. Fish waste filtration and biological filtration systems both require water pumps and complex piping and flow control devices. Cleaning the filtration systems, growing containers, and aquariums is also inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a vertical integrated aquaponics device. The planting hopper of this device does not require a support frame. It integrates the functions of physically collecting fish waste, biochemically decomposing ammonia nitrogen, planting, and irrigation into one device. The resulting effect is that the entire device occupies a small area, has a large planting area, provides good wastewater treatment, ensures healthy fish, and is very convenient to disassemble and clean.

[0007] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows:

[0008] The first type of vertical integrated aquaponics device of the present invention includes a manure filter, a sprinkler, a planting column, a manure suction tank, and a fish tank, wherein:

[0009] The manure filter, sprinkler, planting column, and manure suction tank are stacked together from top to bottom, with the manure suction tank located inside the fish tank;

[0010] The planting barrel column contains at least two layers of vertically stacked planting barrels, each layer of planting barrels contains at least one planting barrel, each planting barrel is filled with solid particles, and each planting barrel has a drainage hole at the bottom;

[0011] The manure filter, sprinkler, and planting bucket are equipped with a water supply pipe in the center, and the water supply pipes in the center of the manure filter, sprinkler, and planting bucket are connected.

[0012] The septic tank is equipped with an inlet pipe and a water pump. The inlet pipe is equipped with a backflow valve. The inlet pipe draws water from the fish tank to the middle of the septic tank from bottom to top. The water pump draws water from the septic tank to the top filter via the water supply pipe in the center of the planting bucket.

[0013] The bottom of the planting column is equipped with a drain pipe, which is used to guide the water flowing out of the bottom planting bucket into the fish tank and push the water in the fish tank to form a vortex.

[0014] Furthermore, in the first type of vertical integrated aquaponics device, the angle between the drain pipe and the water surface of the aquarium is 15° to 30°, so that the force of the flowing water pushes the water in the aquarium to form a vortex.

[0015] The second type of vertical integrated aquaponics device of the present invention includes a manure filter, a sprinkler, a planting column, a manure suction tank, and a fish tank, wherein:

[0016] The manure filter, sprinkler, planting column, and manure suction tank are stacked together from top to bottom, with the manure suction tank located inside the fish tank;

[0017] The planting barrel column contains at least two layers of vertically stacked planting barrels, each layer of planting barrels contains at least one planting barrel, each planting barrel is filled with solid particles, and each planting barrel has a drainage hole at the bottom;

[0018] The manure filter, sprinkler, and planting bucket are equipped with a water supply pipe in the center, and the water supply pipes in the center of the manure filter, sprinkler, and planting bucket are connected.

[0019] The septic tank is equipped with an inlet pipe, a biological filter layer, and a water pump from bottom to top. The inlet pipe is equipped with a backflow valve. The inlet pipe draws water from the fish tank to the middle of the septic tank from bottom to top, and then filters it through the biological filter layer. The water pump then pumps the filtered water through the water supply pipe in the center of the planting bucket to the top septic tank.

[0020] The bottom of the planting column is equipped with a drain pipe to direct the water flowing out of the bottom planting bucket into the fish tank.

[0021] Furthermore, the planting buckets in the septic tank, filter, sprinkler, and planting bucket column are stacked together directly without the use of supports; the septic tank serves as the foundation for the planting bucket column and is I-shaped to enhance stability.

[0022] Furthermore, the upper diameter of the planting bucket is slightly larger than the lower diameter, and each planting bucket is equipped with a planting bucket lid.

[0023] Furthermore, at least one layer of the planting barrel column contains a 1 / N planting barrel frame, each 1 / N planting barrel frame can accommodate N 1 / N planting barrels, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 2, each 1 / N planting barrel has the same shape and N 1 / N planting barrels can be spliced ​​together to form a cylindrical shape.

[0024] Preferably, the value of N is 4.

[0025] Furthermore, a planting barrel column base is provided below the planting barrel column and above the septic tank; the planting barrel column base is provided with a hole connected to the drain pipe, and water leaking from the bottom planting barrel of the planting barrel column flows into the drain pipe through the hole.

[0026] Furthermore, the filter is equipped with an inlet pipe, an outlet pipe, and a biological filtration layer. The inlet pipe is near the bottom and slightly higher than the bottom, while the outlet pipe is higher than the inlet pipe. When sewage enters the filter, the biological filtration layer slows down the water flow and filters fish feces, causing them to settle at the bottom. The filtered clean water overflows the outlet pipe and flows out of the filter, entering the sprinkler below. The filter automatically adjusts the water level using the timed working cycle of the water pump. The water level is high when the pump is working and low when the pump stops, providing an environment for earthworm growth.

[0027] Furthermore, an insulation cover is provided around the planting barrel column; a fixing rope is provided between the top of the planting barrel column and the fish tank.

[0028] The vertical integrated aquaponics device of this invention optimizes ordinary aquaponics systems and is designed for use on home balconies. It utilizes stacked vertical planting buckets and a special wastewater filtration method. This device employs an integrated design, combining all the necessary functions of an aquaponics system (fish waste collection and decomposition, ammonia nitrogen decomposition, maximizing planting area, and irrigation) into a single column via a fish tank water vortex, a vortex-type waste suction tank, a waste filter tank, planting bucket column, and sprinkler system. This design offers the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0029] 1) Unlike ordinary hydroponic systems, it does not use chemical fertilizers, achieving 100% organic farming.

[0030] 2) Unlike ordinary aquaponics devices, it overcomes complex equipment requirements; the planting buckets do not require supports and are easy to disassemble and clean. A single water pump handles the water supply, filtration, and return processes.

[0031] 3) The planting container itself has a circular structure, so it can rotate 360°, allowing the plants to receive ample sunlight. There is a water pipe in the middle of the planting container, and when the planting containers are stacked, the water pipe in the middle is connected to form an upper water pipe, making the entire planting container column very easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0032] 4) The water filtration system is integrated with the aquarium and planting container, consisting of four stages. First, the water vortex in the aquarium sinks fish waste to the bottom. Second, the waste is sucked into a suction tank, where a water vortex causes it to sink further, and a water pump draws it into the top filter. Third, the top filter filters the waste. Fourth, the gravel in the planting container provides a growth environment for beneficial bacteria, acting as a biological filter.

[0033] 5) It can expand the planting area and reduce the system footprint. The equipment can be used on balconies or indoors.

[0034] 6) Planting buckets can be added or removed at will, and planting buckets can be stacked to increase the planting area.

[0035] 7) For ease of use, there are two types of planting containers: one is a round container, suitable for perennial plants; the other is a round container consisting of four quarter-sized planting containers. The quarter-sized planting containers can be removed and placed into the entire planting device without affecting the other planting containers, making it suitable for non-perennial plants.

[0036] 8) In winter, the indoor air is dry when heating in northern regions. Using this device can increase the air humidity.

[0037] 9) Fish farming can be used for both landscaping and for raising fish for consumption. Attached Figure Description

[0051] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0052] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a vertical integrated aquaponics device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The device integrates components with different functions, such as a manure filter, a sprinkler, planting buckets, a manure suction tank, and a fish tank, into one unit. Specifically, it includes: a manure filter 1, a sprinkler 2, a planting bucket 3, a manure suction tank 4, and a fish tank 5. The planting buckets 3 have multiple layers, forming a vertically stacked planting bucket column, with a planting bucket column base 6 at the bottom. The manure filter 1, sprinkler 2, planting buckets 3, planting bucket column base 6, and manure suction tank 4 are stacked together from top to bottom. The manure suction tank 4 is located inside the fish tank 5. A drain pipe 7 is provided at the bottom of the planting bucket column base 6 to guide water flowing from the bottom planting buckets into the fish tank, creating a vortex within the fish tank.

[0053] The manure filter 1 has a manure filter water supply pipe 11 in the center, the sprinkler 2 has a sprinkler water supply pipe 21 in the center, and the planting bucket 3 has a planting bucket water supply pipe 31 in the center, and 11, 21, and 31 are connected.

[0054] The septic tank 4 is equipped with an inlet pipe 41 and a water pump 42. The inlet pipe 41 is equipped with a backflow valve 411, and the water pump 42 is equipped with a water pump outlet pipe 421, which is equipped with a water supply valve 422. The water pump outlet pipe 421 is connected to the filter water supply pipe 11, the sprinkler water supply pipe 21, and the planting bucket water supply pipe 31. The inlet pipe 41 draws water from the fish tank 5 to the middle of the septic tank 4; the water pump 42 pumps the water in the septic tank 4 through the planting bucket water supply pipe 31, the sprinkler water supply pipe 21, and the filter water supply pipe 11 to the top filter 1.

[0055] Each planting container 3 is filled with solid granules for growing vegetables. The planting container, also called a grower, has planting holes 32 on its side walls and drainage holes 33 at its bottom (see...). Figure 4 ).

[0056] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a vertical integrated aquaponics device according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The difference in this embodiment lies in the structure of the septic tank 4. The septic tank 4 contains, from bottom to top, an inlet pipe 41, a biological filter layer 43, and a water pump 42. The inlet pipe 41 is the same as... Figure 1 It is also equipped with a backflow valve 411. The inlet pipe 41 draws water from the fish tank to the middle of the septic tank 4, and filters it through the biological filter layer 43. The water pump 42 pumps the filtered water through the planting bucket water supply pipe 31, the sprinkler water supply pipe 21, and the septic tank water supply pipe 11 to the top septic tank 1.

[0057] The following is further explanation. Figure 1 , Figure 2 The specific components and working principle of two types of vertical integrated aquaponics devices.

[0058] 1. No support frame required

[0059] In a typical aquaponics system, the cultivation container and the waste container are integrated because the fish's excrement needs to be filtered and stored to complete the process of converting ammonia nitrogen into nitrogen fertilizer. A sturdy support is required to support the weight of the water and the planting medium.

[0060] The vertical integrated aquaponics device of this invention consists of stacked circular planting barrels 3 forming a planting barrel column, eliminating the need for a support frame. The planting barrels 3 are filled with ceramic gravel, and each planting barrel 3 has a drainage hole at its bottom, allowing water to drain from the bottom of the upper planting barrel to the lower one, thus relieving the planting barrel of its weight. The ceramic gravel in the planting barrel serves two purposes: firstly, it filters the water, retaining some of the fish waste for bacterial decomposition of fish waste and ammonia nitrogen; secondly, it supports the plant roots.

[0061] 2. Planting bucket and planting bucket lid

[0062] Each planting bucket 3 is an independent planting unit. Once filled with ceramic gravel, vegetables can be planted directly without a separate watering system. Water drains from the top, filtering out fish manure and ammonia nitrogen. The bottom of the bucket has evenly spaced drainage holes. A water supply pipe 31 is located at the center of the circular planting bucket. Since the water supply pipe 31 is integrated with the planting bucket 3, when the planting buckets are stacked, the water supply pipes 31 at the center of each planting bucket 3 connect to form an upper water pipe, allowing water to flow directly to the manure filter 1 at the top. This eliminates the need for a central water supply pipe and is easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0063] The upper diameter of planting bucket 3 is slightly larger than the lower diameter, allowing multiple buckets to be stacked together to save space. Each planting bucket is equipped with a lid, such as... Figure 3 As shown. The planting bucket lid is used to reinforce the planting bucket and provide a stable support point for the planting bucket above it.

[0064] For ease of use, there are two types of planting containers: one is a round container (… Figure 4 This type is suitable for perennial plants. Another type consists of four 1 / 4 planting containers (…). Figure 5 The container is composed of four cylindrical parts, and one-quarter of the planting container can be removed and placed into any part of the planting device without affecting the other planting containers. It is suitable for non-perennial plants (such as lettuce).

[0065] A quarter of the planting container is placed in a quarter of the planting container frame. Figure 6 The entire planting bucket column is stabilized within the structure. The upper diameter of the quarter-planter is slightly larger than the lower diameter, allowing multiple buckets to be stacked to save space. The quarter-planter frame provides a central water supply pipe and supports the quarter-planter.

[0066] 3. Irrigation process

[0067] The irrigation process of this invention consists of the following four parts:

[0068] 1) Water pump 42 draws water from the septic tank 4 through the planting bucket water supply pipe 31, the sprinkler water supply pipe 21, and the filter water supply pipe 11 to the top filter 1, i.e., to the location of the filter 1. Depending on the two different designs of the septic tank 4, there are two ways for the water in the fish tank to reach the filter:

[0069] Firstly, according to Figure 1 As shown, the water in the fish tank 5 enters the sludge suction tank 4 and is pumped by the water pump 42 to the sludge filter 1 at the top.

[0070] Second, according to Figure 2 As shown, water from the fish tank 5 enters the bottom of the sludge suction tank 4, which is covered by a biological filter layer 43 (containing biological filter particles). The water pump 42 is placed on top of the biological filter layer 43. Large particles of waste are filtered out before reaching the water pump 42 to reduce blockage of the water flow system.

[0071] 2) The water filtered by the manure filter 1 flows into the sprinkler 2. The sprinkler 2 then... Figure 7 As shown, the bottom has a porous structure, and a sprinkler water supply pipe 21 is provided in the middle, which is connected to the water supply pipes (i.e., 11 and 31) in the center of the manure filter 1 and the planting bucket 3.

[0072] 3) The sprinkler 2 sprays water evenly into the planting bucket 3, which flows down layer by layer from the top to the bottom.

[0073] 4) The water flowing out from the bottom of the bottom planting bucket flows to the planting bucket column base 6. The planting bucket column base has a hole connected to the drain pipe 7. The water flows into the drain pipe 7 through the hole and then into the fish tank 5.

[0074] 4. Septic tank and fish wastewater treatment

[0075] There are two methods for treating fish wastewater:

[0076] The first type is as follows Figure 1 As shown, the angle between the drain pipe 7 at the bottom of the planting bucket and the water surface of the fish tank 5 is 15° to 30°. The flowing water pushes the water in the fish tank 5, creating a vortex, increasing the swimming and activity of the fish, and causing fish waste to settle to the bottom of the tank. Since the water level in the fish tank 5 is higher than the water level in the sludge suction tank 4, the water in the fish tank 5 flows into the sludge suction tank 4 through the inlet pipe 41, sucking in the fish waste from the bottom of the fish tank 5. The angle between the outlet of the inlet pipe 41 of the sludge suction tank 4 and the side wall of the sludge suction tank 4 is 90°, pushing the water in the sludge suction tank to create a vortex, causing the fish waste to sink to the bottom. The water pump 42 pumps the fish waste to the top filter 1. The filter 1 can retain the fish waste at the bottom and can also raise earthworms to decompose the fish waste (see the description of the filter 1 below for its working principle). The clean water flowing out of the filter 1 enters the planting bucket 3 below to begin the biological decomposition of ammonia nitrogen. Bacteria need a surface to attach to and oxygen to decompose ammonia nitrogen, and the gravel in the planting bucket 3 provides a large surface area for attachment. As the water is evenly poured into the planting container, it absorbs enough oxygen, providing a good growth environment for beneficial bacteria.

[0077] The second type is as follows Figure 2 As shown, water from the fish tank 5 flows into the suction tank 4 from the inlet pipe 41 at the bottom. After passing through the biological filter layer 43, fish waste is filtered out. The water pump 42, located above the biological filter layer 43, sends the filtered water to the top filter 1 for further filtration. The water then flows from the planting bucket into the planting bucket column base via the sprinkler 2, and finally into the fish tank 5 through the drain pipe 7. The biological filter particles (i.e., the biological filter layer 43) filling the suction tank 1, located below the water pump 42, filter out fish waste before it enters the pump, reducing blockages in the water supply pipe and the planting bucket drain hole, and keeping most of the fish waste inside the suction tank 4.

[0078] 4 septic tanks Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it serves the following functions: First, it forms the foundation of the entire planting system, supporting the planting bucket base and the planting bucket itself, as well as the manure filter. Preferably, the manure suction tank 4 is I-shaped, as shown... Figure 8A , Figure 8B As shown, this design enhances stability. Second, through the inlet pipe, when the water pump in the tank draws water out, the water pressure caused by the water level difference draws fish waste from the aquarium into the tank. Third, when the water pump stops working at a set time, the water in the top filter tank will flow back to the suction tank, and the backflow valve on the suction tank's inlet pipe will close the inlet pipe to prevent fish waste from flowing back into the aquarium. Fourth, placing the water pump inside the suction tank makes the entire structure simpler.

[0079] 5. Manure filter

[0080] Filter 1 Figure 9 As shown, it is equipped with an inlet pipe (i.e., the water supply pipe 11 of the filter located in the center) and an outlet pipe 12, and also has a biological filter layer (the biological filter layer contains biological filter particles). Figure 2 The biological filter layer (not shown) and earthworms are present. Fish waste in the biological filter layer can be broken down by earthworms, thus solving the problem of smelly water.

[0081] Because earthworms need regular access to air, the filter regulates the water level through the height difference between the inlet and outlet pipes. The inlet pipe (i.e., the filter's water supply pipe 11) is lower; when the water pump stops, the water level in the filter drops to the inlet, trapping fish waste for the earthworms to consume. The outlet pipe 12 of the filter is higher; when the pump operates, the water level rises to the height of the outlet pipe 12, trapping fish waste at the bottom through bio-balls, while clean water flows out from the higher outlet. This circulation of water level from high to low filters both removes impurities and allows the earthworms to breathe. The earthworms then decompose the fish waste.

[0082] 6. Planting bucket column base

[0083] Planting bucket column base such as Figure 10 As shown, the planting barrel column base is placed at the bottom of the planting barrel column and above the manure suction tank 4. The water supply pipe of the water pump passes through the opening in the middle of the planting barrel column base, and another opening on one side is used to connect to the drain pipe 7, so as to collect the water flowing down from the planting barrel 3 and let it flow into the drain pipe 7.

[0084] 7. Other attachments

[0085] Thermal insulation cover: Thermal insulation cover ( Figure 11 Made of transparent plastic film, it can be placed around the planting container to act as a greenhouse in cold weather, preventing plants from freezing and helping them grow in winter.

[0086] Fixing rope: Fixing rope 8 (see) Figure 12(The structural details have been removed to highlight the use of the fixing rope.) The two ends have hooks to attach to the top of the planting column and the fish tank, the purpose being to prevent the planting column from being blown over by strong winds on a high-rise balcony. At this time, a hook can be installed at the top of the planting column... Figure 3 The planting bucket lid shown is for easy securing.

[0087] Other embodiments of the present invention:

[0088] 1) A 1 / 4 planting bucket can also be replaced with a 1 / 3 planting bucket, a 1 / 2 planting bucket, etc. The 4 in 1 / 4 can be any other integer N.

[0089] 2) The water supply pipe used to direct water to the sprinkler does not need to pass through the middle of the planting column. For example, it can be located outside the fish manure pit, i.e., on the side next to the planting column. However, this method increases the structural complexity because the outer water supply pipe requires a support point.

[0090] 3) The planting bucket base can be omitted. For example, only a large drainage hole can be set at the bottom of the lowest planting bucket to connect directly to the drain pipe.

[0091] 4) The fixing rope can be replaced with other methods that can achieve fixing, such as using a fixing pole.

[0092] 5) The size of the planting column can vary in proportion to the fish manure pit and fish tank. For example, the radius of the planting column can be equal to, greater than or less than, the radius of the fish manure pit.

[0093] 6) A fish tank can be equipped with one or more planting columns and a manure suction tank.

[0094] The specific embodiments of the present invention disclosed above are intended to help understand the content of the present invention and to implement it accordingly. Those skilled in the art will understand that various substitutions, changes, and modifications are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The present invention should not be limited to the content disclosed in the embodiments of this specification; the scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the claims.
