A communication port 23 is formed between the first baffle 212 and the inner wall of the box body 211, and the communication port 23 is spaced from the corresponding cultivation holes 2111 in the lateral direction. The cultivation holes 2111 allow the roots of the plants to extend into the box body 211. The plurality of first baffles 212 can stop the nutrient solution to prevent the nutrient solution from directly impacting the roots of the plants and causing damage to the plants.

[0039] The box body 211 is a column, which can reduce the accumulation of debris such as broken plant roots in the box body, making the box body easier to clean.

Each mounting component 115 includes a first mounting rod 1151 and a second mounting rod 1152. The first mounting rod 1151 is arranged between the first support column 111 and the second support column 112, and the second mounting rod 1152 is arranged between the third support column 113 and the fourth support column 114. The first cultivation box 12 is movably arranged between the first mounting rod 1151 and the second mounting rod 1152. The first support column 111, the second support column 112, the third support column 113 and the fourth support column 114 can support a plurality of mounting assemblies 115. The first mounting rod 1151 and the second mounting rod 1152 can support the first cultivation box 12.

[0049] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the plant factory also includes a lifting structure 60, which includes a first driving member 61, a lifting frame 62 and a second driving member 63. The lifting frame 62 is movably arranged on the first support column 111 and the fourth support column 114. The first driving member 61 is connected to the lifting frame 62 to drive the lifting frame 62 to move up and down. The second driving member 63 is movably arranged on the lifting frame 62, and the second driving member 63 can drive one of the plurality of first cultivation boxes 12 to move to the lifting frame 62. The second driving member 63 can push the first cultivation box 12 to move to the lifting frame 62.

[0050] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting frame 62 has a lifting state and a retracting state. When the lifting frame 62 is in the lifting state, the lifting frame 62 is horizontally arranged, and when the lifting frame 62 is in the retracting state, the lifting frame 62 is vertically arranged. The above arrangement enables the lifting frame 62 to occupy less space when it is not in use.

[0051] A connecting groove 121 and an avoidance groove 122 connected to the connecting groove are provided on the outer surface of the first cultivation box 12. The connecting groove 121 extends along the height direction of the first cultivation box 12, and the connecting groove 121 runs through the height direction of the first cultivation box 12. The avoidance groove 122 extends from the second support column 112 to the first support column 111, and the avoidance groove 122 is provided at the bottom of the first cultivation box 12.

[0052] The lifting structure 60 further includes a connection block 64 movably disposed in the connection groove 121 . The connection block 64 is connected to the second driving member 63 . The second driving member 63 extends from the second supporting column 112 to the first supporting column 111 .

[0053] The lifting structure 60 further includes a support plate 65 and a slide bar 66 disposed on the side of the support plate 65, wherein the first end of the slide bar 66 is movably disposed in the slide slot 1111 of the first support column 111 along the vertical direction, and the second end of the slide bar 66 is connected to the support plate 65. When the lifting frame 62 is in the lifting state, the support plate 65 supports the lifting frame 62. The first end of the lifting frame 62 is rotatably disposed on the slide bar 66.

[0054] The support frame 11 further includes a connecting plate 116 connected to the first support column 111 and a guide block 117 disposed on the connecting plate 116, wherein the guide block 117 has a guide slope 1171. The connecting plate 116 is disposed near the bottom of the first support column 111. When the lifting frame 62 moves from the lifting state to the recovery state, the lifting frame 62 abuts against the guide slope 1171, and under the guiding action of the guide slope 1171, the second end of the lifting frame 62 gradually rotates toward the support frame 11 until the side of the lifting frame 62 away from the support frame 11 abuts against the side of the guide block 117 toward the support frame 11, and the lifting frame 62 is disposed vertically.

[0055] The connecting plate 116 includes a first plate body and a second plate body connected to the first plate body, and the guide block 117 is arranged on the second plate body.

In the direction from the second support column 112 to the first support column 111, the distance between the guide slope 1171 and the bottom of the support frame 11 gradually increases.

[0056] A torsion spring is provided between the slide bar 66 and the first end of the lifting frame 62 to enable the lifting frame 62 to move smoothly from the retracted state to the lifted state.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the plant factory further includes a heating device. The heating device can ensure the temperature required for the growth of plants in the plant factory.

[0058] In other embodiments, the plant factory further comprises a heat exchange device, which is connected to an external heat resource. The heat exchange device can ensure the temperature required for plant growth in the plant factory.

[0059] According to the structural dimension characteristics and wall conditions of the hydraulic tunnel 1 space area, the scale and form of the soilless cultivation three-dimensional plant factory are set. The cultivation module layout forms include three-dimensional vertical type and wall-mounted type. In the three-dimensional vertical cultivation form, that is, the first cultivation structure 10, the upper limit of the number of layers of the first cultivation box is determined according to the tunnel space height and the system ventilation and heat dissipation requirements.

[0060] Taking full advantage of the natural advantages of the large space, ventilation, and suitable temperature and humidity of the hydraulic tunnel 1, the conventional HVAC method of the plant factory is abandoned. The plant factory space refrigeration of this embodiment adopts air cooling or water cooling. The heat dissipated by the LED fill light is dissipated to the large indoor space by wind, or fresh air or water cooling is introduced for space heat exchange. In winter, the system heating capacity adopts electric heating or introduces waste heat resources from the surrounding system.

[0061] In the wall-attached cultivation form, the second cultivation box 21 and the third cultivation box 22 are fixed to the cave wall, the plants grow horizontally, and the nutrient solution in the second cultivation box 21 and the third cultivation box 22 flows in a directional manner to flush the plant roots and provide nutrient supplements for plant photosynthesis. The wall-attached planting trough includes a horizontal type (i.e., the third cultivation box 22) and a vertical type (i.e., the second cultivation box 21). The cross-section of the planting trough is circular, which is convenient for subsequent cleaning and reduces the deposition of plant root secretions and nutrient solution sediments in the corners. The wall-attached type is suitable for tunnels with narrow space widths.

[0062] Advantages of the second cultivation box 21 and the third cultivation box 22: Compared with the first cultivation box 12, the second cultivation box 21 and the third cultivation box 22 have simpler requirements on space and terrain, and fewer restrictions, especially when the foundation and wall are irregular and uneven or the space is narrow. Compact and simple, small footprint. Compared with the inconvenience caused by the integrated design of the first cultivation box 12 and the LED fill light in the first cultivation structure 10 for installation, cleaning and disassembly, the circular planting trough (i.e., the second cultivation box 21 and the third cultivation box 22) is easier to install, clean and disassemble, and the circular planting trough and the LED fill light adopt a split design, the LED strip light or panel light is installed at a certain distance from the circular planting trough, and the LED position can be moved with the different growth stages of the plant to adjust the fill light intensity.

[0063] Advantages of the third cultivation box 22: staggered parallel layout improves space utilization. A horizontal water circulation mode is formed in the circular tube of the third cultivation box 22, and the flow time of the nutrient solution in the tube is prolonged, which further promotes plant nutrient absorption.

[0064] The second cultivation box 21 has the advantages of being arranged in staggered parallel rows to improve space utilization. The broken roots, root secretions and solid sediments of the nutrient solution during plant growth can be washed away by the longitudinal directional flow of the nutrient solution, thereby reducing the difficulty of subsequent cleaning of the planting trough.

[0065] The lower limit of the nutrient solution level in the third cultivation box 22 is not lower than the highest point of the plant root system, ensuring that the root system is completely immersed and absorbs sufficient nutrients.

[0066] The nutrient solution in the second cultivation box 21 flows from top to bottom through the plant root system under the action of gravity, and the nutrient solution in the box body 50 is pumped to the top of the second cultivation box 21 by the pump body 40 to complete the nutrient solution circulation. In order to reduce the stress damage to the root system caused by the vertical water flow impact and prolong the residence time of the nutrient solution in the second cultivation box 21, a first baffle 212 and a second baffle 213 are arranged above the plant root system and on the opposite side wall of the groove wall to form an S-shaped flow trajectory.

[0067] The plant factory also has an outer frame structure, which has a first working state, a second working state, and a third working state. When the outer frame structure is in the first working state, the outer frame structure is a closed structure. When the outer frame structure is in the second working state, the outer frame structure is a semi-closed structure. When the outer frame structure is in the third working state, the outer frame structure is an open structure.

[0068] The outer frame structure includes a first arc-shaped support rod, a second arc-shaped support rod, a first film arranged between the first arc-shaped support rod and the ground, a second film arranged between the first arc-shaped support rod and the ground, and a third film arranged between the first arc-shaped support rod and the second arc-shaped support rod.

[0069] When the outer frame structure is in the first working state, the first film covers between the first arc-shaped support rod and the ground, the second film covers between the first arc-shaped support rod and the ground, and the third film covers between the first arc-shaped support rod and the second arc-shaped support rod, so as to close the space enclosed by the first arc-shaped support rod and the second arc-shaped support rod with the ground.

[0072] In the description of the present invention, it is necessary to understand that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "lateral, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. The directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the contours of each component itself.

[0073] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figure. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figure. For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.

[0074] In addition, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. If not otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0075] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
