Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of barley grass cultivation technology, specifically a method for continuous hydroponic barley grass cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] Barley grass contains a variety of nutrients and amino acids that animals can directly absorb. Therefore, many people use barley grass as a daily drinking ingredient. Whether it is soaked in water or juiced directly, it can provide the human body with a large amount of amino acids and fiber. However, due to the limitation of the growing area, customers can only buy finished barley grass juice or dehydrated and sealed dried barley grass to soak in water themselves. In either way, the original flavor of barley grass is lost.

[0003] To address the above shortcomings, many customers choose to purchase seeds and cultivate them on a small scale themselves. However, the planting soil and the proportion of various trace elements will affect the growth of barley grass and the proportion of trace elements it contains. Therefore, this example aims to design a continuous hydroponic barley grass cultivation method that is easy for white-collar workers or home users to cultivate and harvest as needed, in order to ensure the growth status and harvesting of barley grass. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this example presents a continuous hydroponic barley grass cultivation method. This method utilizes a hydroponic barley grass cultivation device to achieve continuous hydroponic cultivation. The device includes a carrier, with an upper connecting body fixedly mounted on its upper end face. An upward-opening cultivation chamber is located within the upper connecting body and the carrier. The cultivation chamber is divided into upper and lower sections by a partition. Nutrient solution is stored in the cultivation chamber located in the lower section of the partition. A fixed cylinder is fixedly mounted on the upper end face of the partition. A sector partition plate is fixedly mounted between the periphery of the fixed cylinder and the inner periphery of the cultivation chamber. This sector partition plate divides the cultivation chamber space within the upper region of the partition into six equal parts.

[0005] A barrier grid is fixedly installed at the upper end of the cultivation chamber space divided by the partition plates of each sector. The barrier grid has through holes. Water-absorbing cotton is placed in the cultivation chamber space divided by the partition plates of each sector. Barley grass seeds are placed in the space and the barley grass seeds and the water-absorbing cotton are mixed and arranged. The size of the holes on the barrier grid is smaller than the size of the barley grass particles. The barrier grid is used to prevent the planting of barley grass in the cultivation chamber and the water-absorbing cotton from falling out of the upper opening of the cultivation chamber.

[0006] A pump chamber with an upward-opening opening is located within the fixed cylinder. The lower end of the pump chamber is connected to the cultivation chamber space above the pump chamber via a small hole. A suction tube is connected to the lower end of the pump chamber, extending into the cultivation chamber space below the partition. A one-way valve is located within the suction tube. A piston is located within the pump chamber, and a pressing block that can slide within the pump chamber is fixedly connected to the upper end of the piston. A push spring is fixedly installed between the pressing block and the pump chamber. The spring, by pressing the pressing block, drives the piston to rise and fall in the pressing pump chamber, which can draw the nutrient solution on the lower side of the partition body into the cultivation chamber on the upper layer of the partition body, mix it with the water-absorbing cotton body and barley grass seeds, and thus provide nutrients for the germination and growth of barley grass. The water-absorbing cotton body can keep the space in the cultivation chamber from having too much fluid, thereby avoiding the seeds from being soaked and rotting due to excessive fluid in the cultivation chamber, and reducing the evaporation of water vapor in the nutrient solution. During the germination and growth stage of barley grass, it can also draw nutrient solution and water from the water-absorbing cotton body.

[0007] A cutting component is provided within the upper connecting body, allowing users to cut down the barley grass growing outside the upper opening of the cultivation chamber.

[0008] Preferably, the nutrient solution located in the lower layer of the partition body comprises potassium nitrate, calcium nitrate, ammonium phosphate, magnesium sulfate, ferric chloride, potassium iodide, boric acid, zinc sulfate, and manganese sulfate. The components are combined according to the ratio and mixed with water, and the final mixed solution is weakly alkaline.

[0009] Preferably, the barrier is made of an elastic material, and the elasticity of the barrier allows the barley straw to be squeezed through the holes provided on the barrier when it is too large.

[0010] Preferably, the cutting assembly includes a fixed blade holder fixedly mounted on the upper end of the sector partition plate, and the fixed cylinder has a groove. An inner rotating ring is rotatably mounted in the groove. The upper connecting body, located at the same height as the inner rotating ring, has a rotating groove with an opening facing the fixed cylinder. An inner rotating ring is rotatably mounted in the rotating groove. A movable blade holder is fixedly mounted between the inner rotating ring and the inner rotating ring. The number of movable blade holders is the same as the number of fixed blade holders, and the upper end face of the fixed blade holder is close to the lower end face of the movable blade holder.

[0011] Blades are provided on both the movable tool holder and the fixed tool holder;

[0012] A limiting fan groove is provided on the inner wall of one side of the limiting fan groove and is connected to it. A cutting drive ring is rotatably provided on the upper connecting body. A ratchet assembly that can move in the limiting fan groove is provided between the cutting drive ring and the inner ring. When the cutting drive ring is rotated, the ratchet assembly can drive the inner ring to rotate, and then the barley grass is cut when the blades on the fixed blade holder and the movable blade holder abut against each other.

[0013] Preferably, the limiting fan groove is used to limit the rotatable area of ​​the ratchet assembly, thereby maintaining the single rotation angle of the cutting drive ring at sixty degrees.

[0014] Preferably, to ensure the hygiene of the inside of the cultivation chamber and to prevent the absorbent cotton and barley grass seeds inside the cultivation chamber from falling out, a sealing sticker is applied to the upper opening of the cultivation chamber. To facilitate the user in peeling off the sealing sticker, one end of the sealing sticker is connected to a protrusion. The sealing sticker can be peeled off by the protrusion, and the user can press the pressing block.

[0015] Preferably, to prevent the seeds in the cultivation chamber from germinating and swelling when exposed to water, space should be left inside the cultivation chamber.

[0016] Preferably, the straw is made of a flexible tube, and the lower end of the straw is heavy so that the lower end of the straw can sink into the lower part of the cultivation chamber.

[0017] Beneficial effects: The hydroponic barley grass planting device stores a scientifically formulated nutrient solution for cultivating high-quality barley grass. Users can easily regulate the nutrient solution by pressing it, providing it for the growth of the barley grass. When the nutrient solution is squeezed into the seed area, the absorption of the nutrient solution can be controlled through the straw, thus avoiding excessive fluid in the cultivation chamber that could cause the seeds to rot from soaking, and reducing water evaporation from the nutrient solution. During the seed growth process, the roots can absorb nutrients and water from the absorbent cotton, reducing the difficulty of planting. After the seedlings emerge, users can harvest the barley grass by rotating the cutting drive ring according to their own needs, without the need for external sharp blades, thus avoiding scratches. At the same time, the upper connector and the carrier are designed as a whole in a cylindrical shape, and the seedlings can be used as everyday potted plants for ornamental purposes.

For ease of description, the directions referred to below are defined as follows: the directions of up, down, left, right, front, and back mentioned below are the same as... Figure 2 The directions of the projection relationship are consistent in all directions: up, down, left, right, front, and back.

[0027] This invention relates to a method for continuous hydroponic cultivation of barley grass. The invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0028] The present invention describes a method for continuous hydroponic barley grass cultivation, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 7 The hydroponic barley grass cultivation method shown in this example achieves continuous hydroponic cultivation through a hydroponic barley grass cultivation device. The hydroponic barley grass cultivation device includes a carrier 121, with an upper connector 101 fixedly installed on the upper end face of the carrier 121. An upward-opening cultivation cavity 106 is provided inside the upper connector 101 and the carrier 121. The cultivation cavity 106 is divided into upper and lower parts by a partition 144. Nutrient solution is stored in the cultivation cavity 106 in the lower part of the partition 144. A fixed cylinder 113 is fixedly installed on the upper end face of the partition 144. A sector partition plate 141 is fixedly installed between the periphery of the fixed cylinder 113 and the periphery of the inner wall of the cultivation cavity 106. The sector partition plate 141 can equally divide the space of the cultivation cavity 106 in the upper area of ​​the partition 144 into six equal parts.

[0029] A barrier grid 151 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the cultivation chamber 106 space divided by the partition plates 141 of each sector. The barrier grid 151 has through holes. Water-absorbing cotton 153 is placed in the cultivation chamber 106 space divided by the partition plates 141 of each sector. Barley grass seeds are placed in the space and the barley grass seeds and the water-absorbing cotton 153 are mixed and arranged. The size of the holes on the barrier grid 151 is smaller than the size of the barley grass particles. The barrier grid 151 is used to prevent the planting of barley grass in the cultivation chamber 106 and the water-absorbing cotton 153 from falling out of the upper opening of the cultivation chamber 106.

[0030] A pump chamber 114 with an upward opening is provided inside the fixed cylinder 113. The lower end of the pump chamber 114 is connected to the cultivation chamber 106 space on the upper side of the pump chamber 114 through a small hole. A suction tube 143 is provided connected to the lower end of the pump chamber 114, extending into the cultivation chamber 106 space on the lower side of the partition 144. A one-way flow valve is provided inside the suction tube 143. A piston 145 is provided inside the pump chamber 114. A pressing block 142 that can slide inside the pump chamber 114 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the piston 145. The pressing block 142 is fixedly connected to the pump chamber 114. A push spring 146 is provided. By pressing the pressing block 142, the piston 145 is driven to rise and fall in the pressing pump chamber 114, which can draw the nutrient solution under the partition body 144 into the cultivation chamber 106 above the partition body 144 and mix it with the water-absorbing cotton body 153 and barley grass seeds, thereby providing nutrition for the germination and growth of barley grass. The water-absorbing cotton body 153 can keep the space of the cultivation chamber 106 with too much fluid, thereby avoiding the seeds from soaking and rotting due to excessive fluid in the cultivation chamber 106, and reducing the evaporation of water vapor in the nutrient solution. During the germination and growth stage of barley grass, nutrient solution and water can be drawn from the water-absorbing cotton body 153.

[0031] A cutting component is provided inside the upper connector 101, which allows the user to cut down the barley grass growing outside the upper opening of the cultivation chamber 106.

[0032] Depending on the specific barley grass planting conditions, the nutrient solution located in the lower layer of the partition 144 includes potassium nitrate, calcium nitrate, ammonium phosphate, magnesium sulfate, ferric chloride, potassium iodide, boric acid, zinc sulfate, and manganese sulfate. The components are combined according to the ratio and mixed with water, and the final mixed solution is weakly alkaline.

[0033] Beneficially, the barrier 151 is made of an elastic material, and the elasticity of the barrier 151 allows the barley straw to be squeezed through the holes provided on the barrier 151 when it is too large.

[0034] Beneficial, according to the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 The cutting assembly shown includes a fixed blade holder 109 fixedly mounted on the upper end of the sector partition plate 141, and a groove provided in the fixed cylinder 113. An inner rotating ring 112 is rotatably mounted in the groove. A rotating groove 102 with an opening facing the fixed cylinder 113 is provided in the upper connecting body 101 at the same height as the inner rotating ring 112. An inner rotating ring 104 is rotatably mounted in the rotating groove 102. A movable blade holder 108 is fixedly mounted between the inner rotating ring 104 and the inner rotating ring 112. The number of movable blade holders 108 is the same as the number of fixed blade holders 109, and the upper end face of the fixed blade holder 109 is close to the lower end face of the movable blade holder 108.

[0035] Blades are provided on both the movable tool holder 108 and the fixed tool holder 109;

[0036] A limiting fan groove 103 is provided and connected to the inner wall of one side of the limiting fan groove 103. A cutting drive rotating ring 105 is rotatably provided outside the upper connecting body 101. A ratchet assembly 117 that can move within the limiting fan groove 103 is provided between the cutting drive rotating ring 105 and the inner rotating ring 104. When the cutting drive rotating ring 105 is rotated, the ratchet assembly 117 can drive the inner rotating ring 104 to rotate, and then the barley grass is cut when the blades on the fixed blade holder 109 and the movable blade holder 108 abut against each other.

[0037] Beneficially, the limiting slot 103 is used to limit the rotatable area of ​​the ratchet assembly 117, thereby maintaining the single rotation angle of the cutting drive ring 105 at sixty degrees.

[0038] Beneficially, to ensure the hygiene of the inside of the cultivation chamber 106 and to prevent the absorbent cotton 153 and barley grass seeds from falling out of the cultivation chamber 106, a sealing sticker 131 is applied to the upper opening of the cultivation chamber 106. To facilitate the user in peeling off the sealing sticker 131, one end of the sealing sticker 131 is connected to a protrusion 132. The sealing sticker 131 can be peeled off by using the protrusion 132, and the user can press the pressing block 142.

[0039] Beneficially, to prevent the seeds in the cultivation cavity 106 from germinating and swelling when exposed to water, space should be left inside the cultivation cavity 106.

[0040] Advantageously, the straw 143 is made of a soft tube, and the lower end of the straw 143 is heavy so that the lower end of the straw 143 can sink into the lower part of the cultivation chamber 106.

[0041] Depending on the specific application, the small hole between the press pump chamber 114 and the cultivation chamber 106 is provided with a partition component. The partition component can be a slider sleeved in the press pump chamber 114. By pushing the slider, the small hole can be blocked, thereby allowing the nutrient solution drawn into the press pump chamber 114 by the piston 145 to flow into several specific sectors.

[0042] In the initial state, the upper end of the cultivation chamber 106 is separated by the sealing sticker 131. At this time, the pressing block 142 and the piston 145 rise to the maximum extent in the pressing pump chamber 114. The space area of ​​the cultivation chamber 106 on the upper side of the partition body 144 is in a dry state. The movable knife holder 108 is located on the upper side of the fixed knife holder 109 and abuts against each other.

[0043] In use, the user can peel off the sealing sticker 131 through the protrusion 132. Then, the user can press the pressing block 142, which in turn drives the piston 145 to repeatedly reciprocate within the pressing pump chamber 114. During this reciprocating motion, the piston 145 draws nutrient solution from the lower side of the partition 144 into the pressing pump chamber 114 through the suction tube 143, and squeezes the nutrient solution into each of the cultivation chambers 106, where it interacts with the absorbent cotton body 153 and... The barley grass is planted in a mixed manner. The barley grass seeds that come into contact with the nutrient solution swell and germinate, while a portion of the nutrient solution is absorbed by the straw 143. This avoids excessive fluid in the cultivation chamber 106, which could cause the seeds to soak and rot, and reduces the evaporation of water vapor from the nutrient solution. During the seed growth process, the seeds can also absorb nutrients and water from the absorbent cotton body 153 through their roots. During the seed growth process, the barley grass sprouts extend out of the upper opening of the cultivation chamber 106 through the barrier grid 151.

[0044] When the barley grass reaches a certain stage of growth and is ready for harvesting, the operator rotates the cutting drive ring 105, which in turn drives the inner ring 104 to rotate in the same direction via the ratchet assembly 117. At this time, the rotating inner ring 104 drives the movable blade holder 108 and the inner ring 112 to rotate synchronously. The rotating movable blade holder 108 cuts the barley grass extending outside the barrier grid 151 by squeezing and cutting against the fixed blade holder 109. Rotating the cutting drive ring 105 can reset the ratchet assembly 117. At this time, the operator can collect the cut barley grass for use.

[0045] After harvesting a crop of barley grass, the user continues to press the pressing block 142 to squeeze the nutrient solution under the partition 144 into the cultivation chamber 106 again, which can provide nutrients and water to the seeds again, thereby supplying the barley grass to grow again.

[0046] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The hydroponic barley grass planting device stores a scientifically formulated nutrient solution that can cultivate high-quality barley grass. Users can easily control the nutrient solution by pressing it to provide it for the growth of barley grass. When the nutrient solution is squeezed into the seed area, the absorption of the nutrient solution can be controlled through the straw 143, thereby avoiding excessive fluid in the cultivation chamber 106 that could cause the seeds to soak and rot, and reducing the evaporation of water vapor in the nutrient solution. During the seed growth process, the roots can absorb nutrients and water from the absorbent cotton body 153, reducing the difficulty of planting. After the seedlings emerge, users can harvest the barley grass by rotating the cutting drive ring 105 according to their own needs, without the need for external sharp blades, thus avoiding scratches. At the same time, the upper connecting body 101 and the carrier 121 are integrally set into a cylindrical shape, and the grown seedlings can be used as daily potted plants for ornamental purposes.

[0047] Through the above methods, those skilled in the art can make various changes according to the working mode within the scope of this invention.
