Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of ginseng cultivation equipment, and specifically relates to a plant ginseng cultivation container with automatic water volume adjustment. Background Art

[0002] As a plant with extremely strict requirements for the growth environment, water supply plays a crucial role in the growth process of ginseng. Excessive or insufficient water will have a significant impact on the growth and quality of ginseng. Especially during the root development process, water regulation not only needs to ensure an appropriate water supply, but also ensure the uniform distribution of water in the root area, so as to avoid the growth of roots being hindered due to excessive or insufficient water, affecting the yield and quality of ginseng. With the continuous development of agricultural technology, automated irrigation systems have gradually been widely applied to the cultivation of crops. By using devices such as sensors, controllers, and water pumps, automated irrigation systems can monitor the water status of the soil in real time, automatically adjust the water source supply, ensure that plants obtain the required water environment at different growth stages, thereby improving irrigation efficiency and promoting the healthy growth of plants.

[0003] However, in the actual use of cultivation containers, there are some problems that affect the normal growth of ginseng roots. First of all, due to the presence of the container wall, a physical barrier is formed, forcing the lateral roots of ginseng to horizontally coil along the inner wall of the container. This phenomenon leads to an abnormal increase in root length density in the area near the container wall, even 2-3 times that of natural root growth. Such local dense growth not only reduces the space utilization efficiency of the roots, but also may limit the nutrient absorption ability of the roots. At the same time, when the root tip touches the hard container wall, mechanical stress signals will be generated, which will then trigger an obstacle avoidance reaction. The turning angle of the root tip may be greater than 45°, seriously affecting the normal development and directional growth of the roots. The roots that continuously contact the container wall may also show lignification phenomena, the deposition of lignin accelerates, resulting in the cell walls of the roots becoming abnormally thick. This abnormal lignification not only reduces the water conductivity of the roots, but also affects the transportation of substances, further restricting the healthy growth of ginseng. More complexly, a low-permeability zone is formed at the interface between the container wall and the soil, which forces water to preferentially flow vertically along the center of the container, resulting in a deviation in the water absorption depth and the failure of the hydraulic lift effect. In addition, the contact area between the roots and the container wall forms a "pseudo-root-soil interface", increasing the contact pressure, which in turn leads to distortion of the water absorption rate and water absorption lag. Especially during the water replenishment process at night, the water replenishment is abnormal, further affecting the growth and development of ginseng. Therefore, it is necessary to improve and optimize it. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Preferably, there are four groups of rotating components and they are respectively located above the corresponding driving components. The rotating component includes a top rod fixedly installed on the top of the second rack. A circular groove is opened on the top of the table body, a cylindrical cylinder is slidably installed on the inner wall of the circular groove, a ball is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the top of the top rod, a threaded groove is opened on the inner wall, and the ball is threadedly connected with the threaded groove.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0017] By setting up a rotating mechanism, the device of the present invention can automatically adjust its position according to the change of soil humidity. As the moisture increases, the weight of the soil rises, and the bottom plate moves downward. During this process, the compression spring causes the inner cylinder to rotate, avoiding the direct contact between the root system and the inner wall of the inner cylinder, and promoting the free growth of the root system. When the moisture decreases, the spring gradually rebounds, pushing the bottom plate upward, and the inner cylinder also rotates accordingly, further adjusting the soil state. Through this intelligent moisture control and position adjustment, the system can accurately control the water supply according to the needs of the plants, and ensure that the root system will not be hindered due to excessive water accumulation or water shortage, ensuring the healthy growth of ginseng.

[0018] Through the rotation and longitudinal movement of the inner cylinder, the present invention effectively avoids the long-term contact between the root system and the inner wall of the inner cylinder during the growth process, thereby preventing the entanglement or growth hindrance of the root system. The system design enables the inner cylinder to automatically adjust its position according to the weight change under the influence of soil moisture, prompting the inner cylinder to continuously rotate. The meshing and gear transmission mechanism between the inner cylinder and the rack further ensures the stable rotation of the inner cylinder, avoiding the frictional contact between the root system and the inner cylinder wall, enabling the root system to continuously expand in a free space, which is particularly important for plants such as ginseng, because the root system of ginseng is prone to poor growth or damage due to limited space. Through this innovative design, the system can continuously support the expansion of the root system without interfering with the root growth, maximally avoiding the situation of root entanglement, and effectively improving the growth efficiency and health level of the plants.

Detailed implementation manners

[0028] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0029] As Figures 1 to 8 shown, the present invention provides a plant ginseng cultivation container with automatic water volume adjustment, including a table body 1. A middle part of the table body 1 is fixedly installed with an outer cylinder 2. The outer cylinder 2 penetrates through the table body 1. A bottom part of the outer cylinder 2 is fixedly installed with a water tank 3. An inner cylinder 4 is rotatably installed on an inner wall of the outer cylinder 2. A rotating mechanism is arranged at a top part of the water tank 3;

[0030] The rotating mechanism includes a driving component and a rotating component. There are four groups of driving components, including a first rack 402 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the bottom of the inner cylinder 4. Two fixing blocks 5 are fixedly installed on the top of the water tank 3. A rotating rod 501 is rotatably installed on one side of each of the two fixing blocks 5 close to each other. A first gear 5011 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod 501. The first gear 5011 meshes with the first rack 402. A rectangular groove 201 is formed on the outer wall of the bottom of the outer cylinder 2. The first rack 402 is slidably connected to the rectangular groove 201. A limiting strip 302 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing block 5. A second rack 6 is slidably installed on the outer wall of the limiting strip 302. The second rack 6 meshes with the first gear 5011. The four groups of driving components are equally spaced around the axis of the outer cylinder 2. The four groups of driving components are exactly the same. A bottom plate 41 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the bottom of the inner cylinder 4. A water diversion cylinder 403 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the bottom plate 41. A filter screen 4031 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the top of the water diversion cylinder 403. The bottom end of the water diversion cylinder 403 extends into the water tank 3 and is slidably connected to the water tank 3. The bottom of the bottom plate 41 and the top of the water tank 3 are elastically connected by four springs 10. The four springs 10 are equally spaced around the water diversion cylinder 403. A water pump 301 is fixedly installed on the top of the water tank 3. The water inlet end of the water pump 301 extends into the water tank 3. The water outlet end of the water tank 3 is fixedly installed with a water pipe 3011. The water pipe 3011 is designed in an L shape. The top of the water pipe 3011 penetrates through the table body 1 and is fixedly connected to the table body 1. A nozzle 3012 is fixedly installed on the top of the water pipe 3011. The nozzle 3012 is circularly designed with the spray outlet facing downwards.

[0031] Through the rotational cooperation between the inner cylinder 4 and the outer cylinder 2, and through the meshing of the first rack 402 and the first gear 5011, the rotation of the inner cylinder 4 can be achieved; the design of the water diversion cylinder 403 at the bottom of the bottom plate 41 and the filter screen 4031 above it ensures the cleaning and filtering functions of the water source; the sliding design of the water diversion cylinder 403 guarantees its flexible connection with the water tank 3. The water pump 301 installed in the water tank 3 can pump water into the water pipe 3011, and then the water is evenly sprayed onto the roots of the plants through the nozzle 3012; the water inlet end of the water pump 301 extends into the interior of the water tank 3, which can effectively ensure the cyclic supply of the water source, avoid the situation of too low water level or insufficient water volume, and ensure that the water demand of the plants during the growth process is met. Due to the automatic regulation of the water volume, the fluctuation of the water is effectively controlled, avoiding the unstable growth caused by uneven water during the growth of ginseng; this constant water supply helps the healthy growth of the plants. Especially in the cultivation of plants with high water demand such as ginseng, it can effectively promote the development and growth of its roots.

[0032] Such as Figures 5 to 8As shown in the figure, there are four sets of rotating components, which are respectively located above the corresponding driving components. The rotating component includes a top rod 7 fixedly installed on the top of the second rack 6. A circular groove 101 is opened on the top of the table body 1. A cylindrical barrel 8 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the circular groove 101. A ball 701 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the top of the top rod 7. A threaded groove 801 is opened on the inner wall. The ball 701 is threadedly connected with the threaded groove 801. A tooth groove 401 is opened on the outer wall of the top of the inner barrel 4. A second gear 9 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the cylindrical barrel 8. The second gear 9 meshes with the tooth groove 401. The length value of the second gear 9 in the Y-axis direction is less than the length value of the tooth groove 401 in the Y-axis direction. The inner diameter value of the axis of the second gear 9 is the same as the outer diameter value of the outer wall of the cylindrical barrel 8.

[0033] With the above scheme: By setting the rotating component, the precise control of the rotation of the inner barrel 4 can be effectively realized. The four sets of rotating components are respectively located above the corresponding driving components. Each set of rotating components cooperates with the driving component, so that the top rod 7 in each set of rotating components is fixedly installed on the top of the second rack 6, ensuring the stability and precision of the rotation process. The circular groove 101 on the top of the table body 1 and the slidably installed cylindrical barrel 8 cooperate to make the movement of the rotating component smoother; the slidability of the cylindrical barrel 8 ensures that the top rod 7 can move freely and vertically during the rotation process without being interfered by the outside world; the ball 701 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the top of the top rod 7 is threadedly connected with the threaded groove 801 opened on the inner wall of the cylindrical barrel 8, which not only ensures the precise positioning effect, but also provides low-friction sliding performance; the interaction between the ball 701 and the threaded groove 801 enables the rotating component to achieve precise adjustment and regulation without increasing additional friction. The tooth groove 401 on the outer wall of the top of the inner barrel 4 meshes with the second gear 9 fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the cylindrical barrel 8, so that the inner barrel 4 can rotate when receiving the drive from the second rack 6. Since the length of the second gear 9 in the Y-axis direction is less than the length of the tooth groove 401 in the Y-axis direction, the phenomenon of jamming caused by excessive meshing during the rotation of the gear is avoided, ensuring that the inner barrel 4 can rotate smoothly when needed. The inner diameter value of the axis of the second gear 9 being the same as the outer diameter value of the outer wall of the cylindrical barrel 8 effectively reduces errors and unnecessary gaps, thereby improving the precision of the overall transmission system. Through the cooperation of the rotating component, it is ensured that the inner barrel 4 can self-adjust its position and rotate according to the change of soil humidity to avoid the entanglement or obstruction of ginseng roots. When the water is too much, the system will automatically adjust and rotate the inner barrel 4 to avoid the roots being oppressed. When the water is less, the system can adjust in a timely manner to keep the roots growing freely, ensuring that the growth environment of ginseng is always in the best state, while reducing manual intervention and improving the cultivation efficiency.

[0034] The working principle and usage process of the present invention:

[0035] During the operation of the entire system, the connection method between the bottom plate 41 and the inner cylinder 4 ensures that when there is sufficient moisture, the entire planting system can self-adjust according to the changes in the weight of the soil and plants to meet the needs of plant growth. When ginseng is planted in the inner cylinder 4 and sprayed by the water pump 301, the water provided by the water pump 301 passes through the water pipe 3011 and the nozzle 3012 to evenly spray the moisture into the soil, keeping the soil moist. The increase in moisture causes the weight of the soil to rise, and the bottom plate 41 moves downward accordingly. This weight change causes the spring 10 to be compressed.

[0036] As an elastic element, the spring 10 enables the relative position between the bottom plate 41 and the inner cylinder 4 to be automatically adjusted according to the change in soil moisture content through the support of the bottom plate 41. When there is sufficient moisture, the weight of the soil increases, and the bottom plate 41 moves downward, thereby driving the rotation of the first gear 5011 through the first rack 402, and then driving the inner cylinder 4 to rotate. The rotation of the inner cylinder 4 is used to effectively prevent the roots of ginseng from being blocked. Especially when the roots come into contact with the inner wall of the inner cylinder 4, the expansion of the roots is effectively separated and liberated, preventing the entanglement or obstruction of the roots.

[0037] During the rotation of the inner cylinder 4, it also drives the linear motion of the second rack 6 through the transmission between the first rack 402 and the first gear 5011. This linear motion further drives the rotation of the inner cylinder 4 through the interaction between the second gear 9 and the tooth groove 401. This rotation of the inner cylinder 4 maintains the separation between the soil and the roots of ginseng, thus avoiding the continuous contact between the roots and the inner wall of the inner cylinder 4, which is crucial for the healthy growth of ginseng.

[0038] As the ginseng absorbs water and the moisture in the soil gradually evaporates, the humidity of the soil will gradually decrease, resulting in a reduction in the weight of the soil. With the change in weight, the spring 10 gradually rebounds, pushing the bottom plate 41 and the inner cylinder 4 upward. This movement reversely drives the inner cylinder 4 to continue rotating, activating the system again. Through the rotation of the inner cylinder 4, the expansion direction of the roots can be freely changed, preventing the possible obstacle avoidance reaction or entrapment situation during the growth of the roots.

[0039] The inner cylinder 4 can automatically adjust its position according to the change in soil humidity and effectively support the growth of ginseng roots through rotation and longitudinal movement. It can not only ensure the free growth of ginseng roots during cultivation but also avoid the problems of overwatering or insufficient water through precise control of moisture, improving the planting efficiency and crop quality.
