TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In modern agriculture, the layered soilless culture technology has been widely used due to its advantages of less land occupation, high space utilization rate and high yield per unit area. In the specific implementation of this technology, how to supply nutrient solution to a large number of water culture pools is a key problem. At present, the traditional method is to first rely on manpower to find the water culture pool with insufficient nutrient solution, and then rely on manpower to supplement the nutrient solution to reach the preset value. This method has many defects:
[0003] (1) When the nutrient solution in the water culture pool is insufficient, it is difficult for the artificial to quickly perceive and timely and accurately supplement. Especially when multiple crops are cultivated in the water culture greenhouse at the same time, the consumption rate of nutrient solution by different crops may be very different, which requires quick finding of the water culture pool with insufficient nutrient solution and timely supplementing. Otherwise, the growth of crops may be affected, and ultimately the yield may be reduced.
[0004] (2) In the case that the number of water culture pools in the water culture greenhouse is large and stacked in layers, the method of manually supplying nutrient solution is low in efficiency and time-consuming and laborious. Especially for the nutrient solution supply of high-level water culture pools, workers need to repeatedly climb up and down. This not only consumes physical strength, but also has the risk of falling.

The liquid level monitoring unit 1 is arranged above the edge of each hydroponic pool 5 and is in communication with the liquid outlet end of the nutrient solution storage mechanism 2, is used for monitoring the rise and fall of the liquid level in the hydroponic pool, and is used for adaptively controlling the nutrient solution storage mechanism 2 to deliver nutrient solution into the hydroponic pool 5. The nutrient solution storage mechanism 2 comprises a nutrient solution storage cavity 21, a piston 22, a water pressure box mechanism 23, and a drainage water storage pool 24. The liquid inlet end of the nutrient solution storage cavity 24 is in communication with the nutrient solution preparation mechanism 4. The piston 22 is slidably arranged above the nutrient solution storage cavity 21 and contacts the nutrient solution. The water pressure box mechanism 23 is arranged on the top of the piston 22 and is in communication with the drainage water storage pool 24 through a pipeline. The nutrient solution control mechanism 4 comprises a motor lifting unit 41 and a control circuit 42. The motor lifting unit 41 is arranged above the nutrient solution storage mechanism 2 and is connected to the top of the piston 22 through a rope. The motor lifting unit 41 is adaptively controlled to lift or lower the piston through the control circuit 42. The components and their operating principles are described in detail below.
[0027] In the embodiment, the adaptive operation mode of the hydroponic solution supply system is as follows: when the liquid level monitoring unit 1 detects that the liquid level in the hydroponic pool 5 falls, the control circuit 42 drives the motor lifting unit 41 to lower the piston 22, so as to control the nutrient solution storage cavity 21 to deliver nutrient solution into the hydroponic pool 5. When the liquid level monitoring unit 1 detects that the liquid level in the hydroponic pool 5 rises, the control circuit 42 drives the motor lifting unit 41 to lift the piston 22, so as to control the nutrient solution storage cavity 21 to stop delivering nutrient solution into the hydroponic pool 5.
[0028] In the embodiment, referring to Fig. 2 , the liquid level monitoring unit comprises a fixed support 11, a hole-containing connecting rod 12, a floating ball 13, a limiting sleeve 14, a positive water connecting rod 15, a positive water plug 16, and a sliding support rod 17.

One end of the positive water connecting rod 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting sleeve 14. The other end of the positive water connecting rod 15 is fixedly connected to the positive water plug 16, which is in spherical structure and cooperates with the groove at the end of the pipeline in communication with the nutrient solution storage cavity 21. One end of the sliding support rod 17 is slidably connected to the middle of the positive water connecting rod 15. The other end of the sliding support rod 17 is fixedly connected to the fixed support 11. Preferably, a buckle position for the sliding arrangement of the floating ball 13 is arranged on the hole-containing connecting rod 12, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the floating ball 13 on the hole-containing connecting rod 12 to adapt to the liquid level requirement of the hydroponic pool of different heights. The linkage structure of the floating ball 13 and the positive water plug 16 is used to adjust whether the nutrient solution storage cavity 21 is filled with liquid when the liquid level of the hydroponic pool changes.
[0029] In this embodiment, the bottom of the nutrient solution storage chamber 21 is connected to each hydroponic tank 5 via a pipe through the liquid level monitoring unit 1; the piston 22 is provided with an insulating pressure rod 221, a lifting ring 222, an exhaust pipe 223 and an exhaust valve 224. The insulating pressure rod 221 and the lifting ring 222 are both located on the top of the piston 22. The lifting ring 222 is connected to the motor lifting unit 41 via a rope. The exhaust pipe 223 is installed through the piston 22. The exhaust valve 224 is located at the end of the exhaust pipe 223 away from the nutrient solution storage chamber 21, and is used to control the connection between the nutrient solution storage chamber 21 and the external atmosphere, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the internal pressure of the nutrient solution storage chamber 21.
[0030] In this embodiment, the water pressure tank mechanism 23 includes a water storage and pressure generation tank 231, a water pump 232, a first water pipe 233, and a second water pipe 234. The water storage and pressure generation tank 231 is disposed on the top of the piston 22 and is connected to the water pump 232 through the first water pipe 233. The water pump 232 is connected to the drainage water storage tank 24 through the second water pipe 233. The amount of water in the water storage and pressure generation tank 231 is used to regulate the pressure of the piston 22 on the nutrient solution in the nutrient solution storage chamber 21.
[0031] In this embodiment, the motor lifting unit 41 includes a self-locking motor 411, a first rope winding drum 412, a second rope winding drum 413, a top iron ball 414, and a bottom iron ball 415. The two ends of the motor shaft of the self-locking motor 41 are coaxially connected to the first rope winding drum 412 and the second rope winding drum 413, respectively. The first rope winding drum 412 is connected to the lifting ring 222 on the piston 22 through a rope, and the top iron ball 414 is provided through the rope on the first rope winding drum 412. The top iron ball 414 is used to limit the highest point of the piston pulling up. The second rope winding drum 413 is connected to the bottom iron ball 415 through a rope. The bottom iron ball 415 is used to limit the lowest point of the piston 22 descending. The lowest point of the bottom iron ball 415 is not lower than the bottom horizontal plane of the nutrient solution storage chamber 21.
[0032] In this embodiment, the control circuit 42 includes a self-locking motor pull-up branch 421, a self-locking motor lowering branch 422, a water pressure tank storage branch 423, a water pressure tank drainage branch 424, a batching and stirring branch 425, a first spring switch 426, and a second spring switch 427. The first spring switch 426 engages with the insulating pressure rod 221 at the top of the piston 22. When the piston 22 is pulled up to its highest point, the insulating pressure rod 221 abuts against the first spring switch 426, causing the first spring switch 426 to open. The self-locking motor lowering branch 422 drives the self-locking motor 411 to rotate and begins to lower the piston 22. The water pressure tank storage branch 423 drives the water pressure tank mechanism 23. The water pump 232 fills the water storage pressure tank 231 with water; the second spring switch 427 is engaged with the bottom iron ball 415 of the motor lifting unit 41. When the piston 22 is lowered to the lowest point, the bottom iron ball 415 is pulled up to the highest point, abutting the second spring switch 427 and causing the second spring switch 427 to open. The self-locking motor pull-up branch 421 drives the self-locking motor 411 to rotate and start pulling the piston 22 up. The water pressure tank drainage branch 424 drives the water pump 232 in the water pressure tank mechanism 23 to drain the water storage pressure tank 231. The ingredient mixing branch 425 is electrically connected to the nutrient solution preparation mechanism 3 and is used to control the nutrient solution preparation mechanism 3 to mix and prepare the nutrient solution. That is, the first spring switch 426 and the second spring switch 427 respectively realize the switching of the different operating modes of the self-locking motor 411 when the piston 22 is at the highest point and the lowest point, thereby realizing the switching of the operation of pulling up and lowering the piston 22.
[0033] In this embodiment, as Fig. 1 As shown, the self-locking motor pull-up branch 421 and the self-locking motor release branch 422 are preferably configured as a dual-control switch structure. Through the linkage of the dual-control switch structure, it is convenient to quickly switch between the two operations of the self-locking motor 411 driving the piston 22 to pull up and release. The water pressure tank storage branch 423 and the water pressure tank drainage branch 424 are preferably configured as a dual-control switch structure. Through the linkage of the dual-control switch structure, it is convenient to control the water pump 232 in the water pressure tank mechanism 23 to fill or drain water from the water pressure tank 231. At the same time, it is also linked with the self-locking motor 411 to control the pull-up and release operations of the piston 22. When the piston 22 is pulled up, it drains water from the water pressure tank 231. When the piston 22 is released, it fills water into the water pressure tank 231. This can further reduce the energy consumption of the self-locking motor 411 and reduce costs. Thus, real-time and rapid adjustment can be achieved for the dynamic changes of the hydroponic tank. Each circuit is equipped with a protective resistor to ensure its safety. A diode is connected in parallel at both the first and second spring switches to ensure unidirectional conduction of the corresponding circuit after switching. In other embodiments, other circuit configurations can be used to achieve the functions of the self-locking motor pull-up branch, self-locking motor release branch, water pressure tank storage branch, water pressure tank drainage branch, and batching and mixing branch, which will not be listed here.
[0034] In this embodiment, the nutrient solution preparation mechanism 3 includes a mixing tank 31, a stirring motor 32, a stirring blade 33, a first feeding funnel 34, a second feeding funnel 35, a first valve 36, a second valve 37, and a third valve 38. The stirring motor 32 is coaxially connected to the stirring blade 33 and is vertically installed on the top of the mixing tank 31. The first feeding funnel 34 is connected to the top of the mixing tank 31, and a first valve 36 is installed at the inlet of the first feeding funnel 34 to control the amount of nutrient raw materials added. A second valve 37 is installed at the inlet of the second feeding funnel 35 to control the amount of water injected. A third valve 38 is installed at the outlet at the bottom of the mixing tank 31. The outlet at the bottom of the mixing tank 31 and the second feeding funnel 35 are connected through a pipe and connected to the inlet of the nutrient solution storage chamber 21 to mix the nutrient raw materials with water to prepare the nutrient solution and transport it to the nutrient solution storage chamber. The bottom horizontal plane of the ingredient container 31 is higher than the top horizontal plane of the nutrient solution storage chamber 21, so as to facilitate the delivery of nutrient solution from the ingredient container 31 to the nutrient solution storage chamber 21.
