Detailed implementation manners

[0031] The following will elaborate on two implementation manners of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0032] The first implementation manner:

[0033] Figure 1-8 There is shown a mobile tomato hydroponic factory, which includes a mobile base 1 and a plurality of groups of annular culture tanks 2 that are vertically and equidistantly arranged and fixedly connected thereto through a support frame 3; an insect repellent mechanism is provided inside the annular culture tank 2. The insect repellent mechanism includes a guide cylinder 4 provided inside the annular culture tank 2 and connected to the mobile base 1. A spiral groove 401 distributed in a spiral shape is formed on the guide cylinder 4. A lifting block 5 that is vertically slidably connected to the guide cylinder 4 is nested inside the guide cylinder 4. A sliding column 6 extending outside the spiral groove 401 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the lifting block 5. A prism shaft 7 that is slidably clamped to the lifting block 5 penetrates through the lifting block 5. The prism shaft 7 is connected to a drive motor 8; a fixed frame 9 is fixedly connected to the front end of the sliding column 6. A spray head 10 is fixedly connected to the front end of the fixed frame 9. An electromagnetic valve 11 installed on the fixed frame 9 is communicated with the inside of the spray head 10. The electromagnetic valve 11 is communicated with a liquid inlet pipe 12. The liquid inlet pipe 12 extends above the guide cylinder 4 and is communicated with a booster pump 13. The booster pump 13 is communicated with a water storage tank 15 through a liquid extraction pipe 14. The water storage tank 15 is fixedly connected to a rotating carrier plate 16 that is fixedly connected to the prism shaft 7; an identification camera 17 is fixedly connected above the fixed frame 9. The identification camera 17 is connected to a control terminal 18; the control terminal 18 includes a calculation module. The calculation module is connected to an identification module. The input end of the identification module is connected to the identification camera 17. The output end of the calculation module is respectively connected to a movement module and a spraying module. The output end of the movement module is connected to the drive motor 8. The output ends of the spraying module are respectively connected to the booster pump 13 and the electromagnetic valve 11.

[0034] Specifically, the drive motor 8 is started through the control terminal 18. The drive motor 8 drives the prism shaft 7 to rotate. The prism shaft 7 drives the lifting block 5 and the sliding column 6 to rotate. Under the guiding action of the spiral groove 401 of the guiding cylinder 4, the lifting block 5 moves upward, and the sliding column 6 rotates and rises along the spiral groove 401. The sliding column 6 drives the fixed frame 9 and the spray head 10 and the recognition camera 17 thereon to spiral upward. When the recognition camera 17 scans and photographs the plants in the annular culture tank 2 along a spiral trajectory, and transmits the photographed image to the recognition module in the control terminal 18, the recognition module recognizes the pests existing in the photographed image. When it is recognized that there are pests on the plants in the annular culture tank 2, the recognition module transmits the pest existence information to the calculation module. The calculation module closes the drive motor 8 through the movement module. At the same time, the calculation module starts the booster pump 13 and the solenoid valve 11 through the spraying module. By briefly opening the solenoid valve, high-pressure water flow enters the spray head 10 through the solenoid valve 11, and water cannons are ejected to drive away the pests. If the pests still do not move away after a single drive, the solenoid valve 11 is opened again to eject water cannons. When the pests move away, the drive motor 8 is started again and the booster pump 13 and the solenoid valve 11 are closed. The recognition camera 17 continues to perform spiral scanning and photographing on the multi-layer annular culture rack. When the lifting block 5 reaches the top, the control terminal 18 controls the drive motor 8 to rotate in the reverse direction for downward spiral scanning and photographing.

[0035] Compared with the traditional method of driving away pests by spraying pesticides, which is likely to cause problems of space pollution and pesticide residues, in this application, the recognition camera 17 performs spiral scanning to photograph and identify pests, and adopts the method of water cannon spraying for harmless driving away, which is environmentally friendly and efficient.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 8 , the guiding cylinder 4 is a hollow cylinder with both ends open and vertically arranged. The spiral groove 401 is a through groove. The lifting block 5 is a cylindrical structure, and the lifting block 5 is provided with a prism groove for the prism shaft 7 to pass through.

[0037] Specifically, it is convenient to realize the spiral movement of the recognition camera 17 and realize the spiral scanning and photographing of the plants on the annular culture tank 2.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 , the rotating carrier plate 16 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the guiding cylinder 4. The booster pump 13 is fixedly connected to the rotating carrier plate 16. The liquid inlet pipe 12 passes through the lifting block 5 from top to bottom and then turns back and passes through the sliding column 6. A counterweight ring is sleeved on the part of the liquid inlet pipe 12 between the sliding column 6 and the lifting block 5.

[0039] Specifically, the rotating carrier plate 16 enables the booster pump 13, the water storage tank 15 and the liquid inlet pipe 12 to make a circular motion along with the spray head 10. At the same time, under the action of the counterweight ring, the liquid inlet pipe 12 maintains a hanging state.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the mobile tomato hydroponic factory further includes a nutrient solution circulating mechanism. The nutrient solution circulating mechanism includes a liquid storage cylinder provided on the mobile base 1. The liquid storage cylinder is connected to a circulation pump, and the circulation pump is connected to the annular culture tank 2 on the topmost layer through a pipeline. The adjacent upper and lower annular culture tanks 2 are connected through a downstream pipeline, and the annular culture tank 2 on the lowermost layer is connected to the liquid storage cylinder through a return pipeline.

[0041] Specifically, it realizes the cyclic supply of the nutrient solution.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 , above each layer of annular culture tank 2, there is a plant growth lamp fixed to the support frame 3 and in a ring shape.

[0043] Specifically, it promotes the photosynthesis of the plants and improves the growth quality.

[0044] The second implementation mode:

[0045] Figure 9-12 There is shown a mobile tomato hydroponic factory. On the basis of the first implementation mode, the nozzle 10 includes a diffusion cover 19 that is connected to the solenoid valve 11 and is in the shape of a horizontal truncated cone. On the outer side of the opening of the diffusion cover 19 close to the solenoid valve 11, there is a diffusion block 20 in the shape of a cone. One side of the diffusion block 20 close to the solenoid valve 11 is fixedly connected to an axis rod 21, and on the axis rod 21, there are partition plates 22 fixedly connected in a circumferential equidistant distribution. The partition plates 22 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the diffusion cover 19.

[0046] Specifically, when the water flow enters the diffusion cover 19, under the partitioning action of the partition plates 22, it evenly flows towards the diffusion block 20, and after hitting the diffusion block 20, it diffuses towards the inner wall of the diffusion cover 19 and is discharged, so that the high-pressure water flow sprays out from the diffusion cover 19 in a water curtain shape, improving the coverage range of the water cannon sprayed by the nozzle 10 and enhancing the pest repelling effect.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 11 , on the outside of the support frame 3, there is a baffle plate 23 arranged opposite to the nozzle 10. The baffle plate 23 is fixedly connected to the rotating carrier plate 16 through a connecting rod.

[0048] Specifically, when the nozzle 10 makes a spiral upward movement, the baffle plate 23 rotates with the rotating carrier plate 16 linked to the prism shaft 7 through the connecting rod, so that the baffle plate 23 always moves synchronously with the nozzle 10 to block the water curtain bullets at the spraying position and prevent the water curtain bullets from polluting the surrounding environment.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12, the baffle 23 is an arc-shaped plate. A water collecting tank 24 sleeved on its lower part is slidably abutted against the lower end of the baffle 23. The water collecting tank 24 is arranged outside the support frame 3 and fixedly connected to the moving base 1. The water collecting tank 24 is provided with an annular groove for the baffle 23 to slide and store water, and the annular groove is communicated with a drain pipe 25 with a valve; A guide cover 26 fixedly connected to the water collecting tank 24 is arranged below the lowermost annular culture tank 2, and the guide cover 26 is a conical cover.

[0050] Specifically, the baffle 23 and the guide cover 26 are used to centrally collect the sprayed and dripped water, which is convenient for subsequent recycling.

[0051] Combined with the current actual needs, the above-mentioned implementation manner adopted in this application, the protection scope is not limited to this. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes made without departing from the concept of this application still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
