[0002] With the development of facility agriculture technology, shallow liquid flow pipeline hydroponic technology (Nutrientfilm Technique, referred to as NFT) as a new soilless cultivation technology is becoming more and more widely used. Vegetables no longer grow in the soil, but grow in cultivation pipes, and the roots absorb nutrients from the clean nutrient solution. The characteristics of shallow liquid flow hydroponic technology are: (1) hanging cultivation; (2) strong controllability of nutrient solution elements; (3) circulating flow of nutrient solution; (4) a wide variety of crops suitable for cultivation. The clean vegetables produced by this technology are widely praised by consumers.

[0003] At present, in the field of shallow liquid flow hydroponics, vegetables are arranged in a row in pipes, and nutrient solution circulates in the pipes for vegetable growth. In shallow liquid flow hydroponics factories, pipes are arranged side by side, but operation channels need to be set up every 5-6 groups of pipes, such as Figure 1 , so that workers can carry out harvesting operations, and transportation channels must be set up to facilitate the transportation of vegetables, which makes the land utilization rate of the production plant low; on the other hand, in the prior art, shallow liquid flow hydroponic factories are generally operated manually, and each operation area cannot operate continuously and cannot be automated, resulting in low production efficiency and high labor costs.
