Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of vegetable cultivation, and in particular relates to an automatic vegetable cultivation device. Background Art

[0002] Vegetable cultivation devices usually consist of supporting structures, cultivation systems, control systems, etc., aiming to provide an environment suitable for vegetable growth. By precisely controlling conditions such as temperature, humidity, light, and nutrient solution, the yield and quality of vegetables can be maximized.

[0003] Problems with adjusting the depth of the roots in water, lack of flexibility: existing vegetable cultivation devices often fix the roots of vegetables at a certain depth in the hydroponic box, and are unable to adjust the depth of the roots in the water according to the different growth stages or specific needs of the vegetables. This fixed depth design limits the root system's absorption efficiency of nutrients and oxygen, because vegetables at different growth stages have different requirements for nutrients and oxygen, affecting growth efficiency: improper setting of the root depth may lead to nutrient waste or insufficiency, thereby affecting the growth rate and quality of vegetables. Fixed root depth may also limit the expansion and development of vegetable roots, thereby affecting the overall growth of vegetables. Uneven lighting: existing vegetable cultivation devices are usually unable to adjust the angle of sunlight exposure to vegetables, resulting in uneven distribution of light on the vegetables. This uneven light distribution may affect the photosynthesis and growth efficiency of vegetables, especially when the angle of sunlight exposure does not match the angle of vegetable leaves, affecting yield and quality: insufficient or excessive light may cause vegetable growth to be hindered, thereby affecting yield and quality. The inability to adjust the angle of sunlight exposure may also reduce the photosynthesis efficiency of vegetable leaves, thereby affecting their growth rate and health. Summary of the invention
