Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fluid exchange technology, and more specifically to a fluid exchanger and its control method. Background Technology
[0002] Soilless cultivation is a crop cultivation method that does not use soil as a substrate. Instead, it utilizes media such as water, peat moss, vermiculite, or directly places plant roots in a nutrient solution, artificially controlling the nutrients, water, and air conditions required for crop growth. Soilless cultivation breaks the limitations of soil, making it possible for crops to grow in a wider range of environments.
[0003] The nutrient solution is a novel type of nutrient solution synthesized using environmental biological ecological symbiosis technology and mycorrhizal symbiosis principles through processes such as bio-fermentation, chemical chelation, and physical activation. Nutrient solution is crucial for hydroponics, and different crops require different nutrient solution formulations. Many formulations have been published worldwide, but they are largely similar because the initial formulations originated from the chemical composition analysis of soil extracts. The biggest difference in nutrient solution formulations lies in the ratio of nitrogen to potassium. For different nutrient solutions, it is necessary to mix and exchange multiple nutrient solutions to meet the plant's growth needs. However, currently, nutrient solution mixing and exchange are done manually, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, cumbersome, prone to errors or deviations that affect plant growth, and also inefficient and costly. To better apply a nutrient solution exchanger in hydroponics, allowing direct mixing of nutrient solution source liquid with clean water for direct irrigation of plants, eliminating the need for a mixing container, supporting multiple nutrient solutions, and allowing for individually adjustable ratios, a new type of nutrient solution exchanger has been designed and developed.
[0004] Therefore, existing fluid exchange technologies need further improvement to address the above issues. Summary of the Invention
