Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of space plant cultivation, and in particular relates to a space plant cultivation device. Background Art

[0002] Space farming, also known as space agriculture, is an agricultural field based on aerospace technology that develops and utilizes space environment resources. As early as 1975, the Soviet Union began to explore space agriculture. They tried to grow wheat, onions, oats, peas, cabbage, radish and lettuce in the Salyut space station.

[0003] By producing food directly in space, the need to transport supplies from Earth can be reduced, which can not only reduce dependence on Earth supplies, but also reduce the cost and risk of space exploration missions. In addition, since the oxygen supply on the International Space Station is partially dependent on water electrolysis technology, plants can consume carbon dioxide and release oxygen through photosynthesis. This helps maintain the air quality in the cabin and reduces dependence on external oxygen supplies.

[0004] Since the environment in space is different from that on Earth, objects in space are in a state of weightlessness, and plants and water in space are in a discrete state. It is urgent to find a way to effectively adsorb water to plants so that they can get moisture. Summary of the invention

[0005] We hope to simulate the earth's gravity environment by rotating centrifugal force in the plant grower, destroy the surface tension of water and make the water adhere to the roots of the plants through centrifugal force, thereby providing water to the plants.

[0006] The present application provides a space plant growing device, which adopts the following technical solution: A space planter, comprising: a driving motor, a vertically arranged rotating rod fixedly connected to an output shaft of the driving motor, a water tank housing located above the driving motor, and a rotating disk located above the water tank housing, wherein the rotating rod sequentially passes through the center of the water tank housing and the rotating disk, and the rotating rod and the rotating disk are fixedly connected; At least one cultivation container is fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the rotating disk, an intermittent circulating water component connected to the cultivation container is arranged in the water tank shell, a driving disk for driving water in the water tank shell to the intermittent circulating water component is sleeved on the rotating rod located in the water tank shell, the lower part of the driving motor is arranged on the base, and the driving disk is fixed on the base.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving motor is fixed on the base, and the output shaft of the driving motor drives the rotating rod to rotate. The rotating rod drives the rotating disk to rotate, and the rotating disk drives the cultivation container on its surface to rotate, and the cultivation container drives the intermittent circulating water component connected to it to rotate. During the rotation of the intermittent circulating water component, it is intermittently squeezed by the driving disk, and then water is sent to the cultivation container for absorption and use by the hydroponic plants in the cultivation container.

[0008] Since objects are in a weightless state in the space environment, the rotating rod will stir the water in the water tank shell during rotation, thus destroying the surface tension of the water. Under the action of centrifugal force, the water at the roots of the plants in the cultivation container can be adsorbed on the surface of the plants for absorption and use by the plants. During the growth process, the plants can absorb the carbon dioxide exhaled by astronauts through photosynthesis, and at the same time produce oxygen for astronauts to use, and the fruits produced by the plants can be eaten by astronauts.

[0009] Optionally, there are multiple cultivation containers and they are evenly arranged around the rotating rod on the rotating disk, each of the cultivation containers is connected to an intermittent circulating water component, and the driving disk drives the water in the water tank shell into each of the intermittent circulating water components.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple cultivation containers are formed into a ring and rotated around the rotating rod, so that the entire circle of cultivation containers can be affected by centrifugal force, and the plants in each cultivation container can absorb water, thereby maximizing the utilization rate of the rotating disk.

[0011] Optionally, the intermittent circulating water assembly includes a water inlet pipe connected to the inner side of the cultivation container and a water outlet pipe connected to the outer side of the cultivation container, and the water inlet end of the water inlet pipe and the water outlet end of the water outlet pipe are both located in the water tank housing; The water inlet pipe is provided with a bubble ball on the pipeline inside the water tank shell. When the driving disk squeezes the bubble ball, water in the water tank shell enters the bubble ball and enters the inner side of the cultivation container through the bubble ball, and flows out from the water outlet pipe outside the cultivation container.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, during the rotation of the intermittent circulating water component, the bubble ball located inside is intermittently squeezed by the driving disk. When there is no water in the bubble ball, the driving disk releases the bubble ball, and the water in the water tank shell enters the bubble ball. When there is water in the bubble ball, the water in the bubble ball will be squeezed into the water inlet pipe at its upper end. Driven by centrifugal force, the water in the water inlet pipe flows into the cultivation container and is absorbed by the plants. Part of the water flows from the inside of the cultivation container to the outside and then enters the water outlet pipe and flows out from the water outlet pipe. The driving disk intermittently squeezes the bubble ball, that is, squeezes the bubble ball again after releasing the bubble ball, so that the water can flow into the cultivation container in a reciprocating manner for the plants to absorb and use for growth.

[0013] Optionally, the water inlet pipe includes a horizontal water inlet pipe and a vertical water inlet pipe connected to the water tank housing, both of which are located in the water tank housing, the water bubble ball is located on the vertical water inlet pipe, and a first one-way valve is provided on the vertical water inlet pipe below the water bubble ball; The water outlet pipe includes a vertical water outlet pipe located in the water tank shell, a horizontal pipe is connected between the vertical water outlet pipe and the vertical water inlet pipe, the horizontal pipe is located in the water tank shell, the horizontal pipe is connected to the vertical water inlet pipe and is higher than the bubble ball.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the intermittent circulating water component rotates, the gas moves along the horizontal tube to the outside of the horizontal tube under the action of centrifugal force, and the water in the water tank shell enters the bubble ball. When the driving disk squeezes the bubble ball, the water in the bubble ball enters the cultivation container. The water entering the cultivation container flows into the outside of the cultivation container and enters the water inlet pipe under the action of centrifugal force.

[0015] Optionally, a piston is provided in the transverse tube, and an end of the piston facing away from the vertical water inlet pipe is connected to a spring, and an end of the spring is fixedly connected to a fixed plate in the transverse tube.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, a piston is arranged in the transverse tube, which can be equivalent to a cylinder, and the piston divides the cylinder into two parts. When the transverse tube rotates, the piston moves outward, and the side close to the bubble ball is evacuated into a vacuum. When there is no water in the bubble ball, the water in the water tank shell is helped to flow into the bubble ball. However, when the rotating rod does not rotate, a spring is arranged to help the piston return to its original position. The fixing plate is used for fixing the spring, reducing the spring fixed on the water outlet pipe and causing damage to the water outlet pipe.

[0017] Optionally, the lower portion of the horizontal water inlet pipe and the lower portion of the transverse pipe are both fixedly connected with stirring blades.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the stirring blade rotates with the rotating rod to stir the water in the water tank shell, promoting the rotation of the water so that the water further rotates centrifugally outward.

[0019] Optionally, an elastic cover is provided on the upper part of the cultivation container, a hole is opened in the center of the cover, and absorbent cotton is provided in the cultivation container.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the absorbent cotton can absorb and store water, so that the plants in the cultivation container can continuously absorb water, and the plants can grow through the elastic central opening of the cover body. The elastic cover body can fit the plants and change with the growth of the plants, so as to provide a better seal. Since the spacecraft is also rotating, in order to prevent water leakage, the cover body can seal the water in the cultivation container.

[0021] Optionally, a motor housing is provided on the base, the drive motor is located in the motor housing, and the water tank housing is provided on the motor housing; A cover body is provided around each of the cultivation containers, the cover body is provided on the water tank shell, an air inlet is provided at one end of the cover body, the rotating rod is hollow and has an air inlet pipe, an air outlet pipe is provided on the part of the rotating rod located in the motor shell, and the motor shell is connected to the outside.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the cover body does not rotate with the rotating rod, but is fixed. By setting the cover body, the carbon dioxide exhaled by the astronauts can be collected together for use by the photosynthesis of the plants. The oxygen released by the plants after photosynthesis enters the rotating rod through the air inlet pipe on the rotating rod, and then is discharged through the air outlet pipe on the rotating rod located in the motor housing, and is discharged to the outside by the motor housing for the astronauts to inhale.

[0023] Optionally, a circle of lighting lamps is arranged on the top of the cover body, a generator is arranged at the center of the top of the cover body, four air inlets are arranged evenly around the generator, a fan is arranged on the air inlet, and the generator is used to power the lighting lamps and the fan.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the generator supplies power to the lighting lamp, and the lighting lamp is lit to simulate light and promote plant growth. The generator drives the fan to rotate, and the fan sends carbon dioxide into the cover.

[0025] Optionally, climbing rods are vertically arranged on the rotating disk corresponding to each of the cultivation containers, and a vertical supporting rod is arranged at the lower part of the driving disk, and the lower end of the supporting rod is fixedly connected to the base.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a climbing rod, when the plant in the cultivation container is a climbing plant, the plant can climb along the climbing rod. The support rod supports and fixes the driving disk to prevent it from rotating, so that the bubble ball can contact the protrusion of the driving disk during the rotation process, or break away from the protrusion and be located between two protrusions, thereby causing the bubble ball to be crushed or restored to a spherical shape.

[0027] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: Since objects are in a weightless state in the space environment, plants and water are in a discrete state, and water cannot be well adsorbed on the roots of plants. The intermittent circulation water assembly and the cultivation container are driven to rotate by the rotating rod, and the stirring blades stir the water in the water tank shell. The centrifugal force causes the water to further rotate centrifugally outward, while destroying the water tension, so that the water can be adsorbed on the roots of the plants. The driving disk squeezes or releases the rotating water bubble ball, causing the water bubble ball to be crushed or restored to a spherical shape, so that the water enters the cultivation container for absorption by the plant.

The lower end of the support rod 41 is fixedly connected to the base 4, and the support rod 41 supports the driving disk 40 and the driving disk 40 does not contact the rotating rod 10.

[0041] The outer ring of the driving disk 40 is evenly spaced with a circle of protrusions, which are used to squeeze the bubble ball 33. When the driving disk 40 squeezes the bubble ball 33, the water in the water tank housing 2 enters the bubble ball 33 and enters the inner side of the cultivation container 20 along the vertical water inlet pipe 312, and flows out from the water outlet pipe 32 outside the cultivation container 20.

[0042] The water outlet pipe 32 includes a vertical water outlet pipe 321 located in the water tank shell 2 .
