[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a soilless cultivation device for potato seedlings, including: a cultivation box 1, with lifting grooves 2 on both sides of the cultivation box 1, a lifting mechanism is installed in the lifting grooves 2, a cover plate 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting mechanism, the cover plate 3 is buckled on the top of the cultivation box 1, a plurality of seedling holes 4 are opened on the cover plate 3, and a clamping mechanism is abutted on the seedling holes 4; a spray mechanism is arranged inside the cultivation box 1.

[0027] The bottom of the potato seedling is clamped by the clamping mechanism, and then the clamping mechanism is placed on the seedling hole 4. At this time, the root of the potato seedling is located below the cover plate 3 and inside the cultivation box 1, and will not be exposed to light, so as to prevent the potato from being exposed to light and affecting its quality. The upper branches and leaves are located above the cover plate 3, absorbing sunlight and air, and can thrive without the restriction of growth space; the roots are in the cultivation box 1 below the cover plate 3, and the water mist formed by the nutrient solution sprayed by the spraying mechanism provides nutrients and water for the plants; after a period of time, when the mature potatoes need to be picked, the lifting mechanism can drive the cover plate 3 to rise, so that the potato roots rise and are higher than the cultivation box 1, which is convenient for picking potatoes, and at this time, the potato plants and the bottom of the root system are still supported by the cultivation box 1, and the water drops on the roots fall into the cultivation box 1 without dirtying the ground. After picking, the lifting mechanism drives the cover plate 3 to descend, so that the cover plate 3 abuts against the cultivation box 1, and the immature potatoes can continue to grow and wait for the next picking. This design allows for real-time harvesting of mature potatoes, leaving immature potatoes to continue growing. Combined with the timely supply of nutrient solution and the unlimited growth space for stems and leaves, the potato seedlings can grow well, greatly increasing yields.

[0028] A further optimized solution is provided, wherein the lifting mechanism comprises a screw rod 5 rotatably connected to the lifting groove 2, one end of the screw rod 5 is fixedly connected to a fixed sliding block 27, and the other end is threadedly connected to a movable sliding block 6, the movable sliding block 6 is slidably connected to the bottom end of the lifting groove 2, a scissor lift frame 7 is hinged on the fixed sliding block 27 and the movable sliding block 6, a connecting sliding block is hingedly connected to one foot of the movable sliding block 6 at the top of the scissor lift frame 7, the connecting sliding block is slidably connected to the bottom surface of the cover plate 3, the other foot of the top of the scissor lift frame 7 is hinged to the bottom surface of the cover plate 3, one end of the two screw rods 5 passes through the incubator 1 and is fixedly connected to a worm gear 8, the two worm gears 8 are meshingly connected to a worm 9, and the worm 9 is transmission-connected to a motor 10.

[0029] The motor 10 drives the worm 9 to rotate, and the worm 9 drives the worm wheel 8 to rotate. The worm wheel 8 causes the two screws 5 to rotate. The screws 5 rotate at the bottom of the lifting groove 2, so that the movable slider 6 threadedly connected to the screw 5 approaches or moves away from the fixed slider 27. When approaching each other, the scissor lift frames 7 are tightened laterally and extended in height. The two scissor lift frames 7 respectively support the two sides of the cover plate 3 to raise the cover plate 3; when moving away from each other, the scissor lift frames 7 are extended laterally and contracted in height. The two scissor lift frames 7 respectively support the two sides of the cover plate 3 to lower the cover plate 3. Since the two scissor lift frames 7 are driven by the same motor 10 through the same structure, the ascent and descent are synchronous and the ascent and descent are stable.

[0030] According to a further optimized solution, a dust cover 11 is provided on the outer cover of the worm 9 , the motor 10 is fixedly connected to the dust cover 11 , and both ends of the worm 9 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the dust cover 11 .

[0031] The dust cover 11 provides protection for the worm 9 .

[0032] A further optimized solution is that the spray mechanism includes a liquid supply box 12, the liquid supply box 12 is connected to a liquid supply main pipe 13, the liquid supply main pipe 13 is fixedly connected to a liquid supply pump 14, the liquid supply main pipe 13 is connected to a liquid supply branch pipe 15, the liquid supply branch pipe 15 is perpendicular to the liquid supply main pipe 13, the liquid supply branch pipe 15 is vertically connected to a plurality of spray pipes 16, the spray pipe 16 passes through the incubator 1, and a plurality of atomizing nozzles 17 are fixedly connected to the spray pipe 16.

[0033] The liquid supply tank 12 contains prepared nutrient solution, and the liquid supply pump 14 pumps the nutrient solution into the liquid supply main pipe 13, which then flows into the liquid supply branch pipe 15, and then flows into the spray pipe 16 from the liquid supply branch pipe 15. The spray pipe 16 is evenly arranged in the incubator, and a plurality of evenly arranged atomizing nozzles 17 are connected to the spray pipe 16. The atomizing nozzle 17 atomizes the nutrient solution in the spray pipe 16 and sprays it out, and the nutrient mist diffuses in the incubator to provide nutrients and water for the potato root system.

[0034] According to a further optimized solution, a liquid return pipe 18 is connected to the bottom of the incubator 1 , and one end of the liquid return pipe 18 away from the incubator 1 is connected to the liquid supply tank 12 ; a liquid return pump 19 is fixedly connected to the liquid return pipe 18 .

[0035] The excess nutrient solution drips into water droplets at the bottom of the incubator, and the return pump 19 recycles the excess nutrient solution gathered at the bottom of the incubator through the return pipe 18 and re-enters the liquid supply tank 12 for recycling, thereby avoiding waste of nutrient solution.

[0036] A further optimized solution is that the clamping mechanism includes a clamping block 20, a through hole 21 is opened in the center of the clamping block 20, a movable groove 22 is opened in the center of the clamping block 20, two opposite arc-shaped clamps 23 are slidably arranged in the movable groove 22, the two arc-shaped clamps 23 are staggered up and down, and the ends of the two arc-shaped clamps 23 away from each other are fixedly connected with springs 24, and spring 24 grooves are opened on both sides of the movable groove 22 corresponding to the springs 24, and the springs 24 are slidably connected to the spring 24 grooves.

[0037] The two arc-shaped clamps 23 are manually opened before clamping, and the spring 24 is compressed at this time, and the arc-shaped clamps 23 slide to both sides in the movable groove 22 and move away from each other, and then the potato seedlings are placed in the through hole 21, so that the position of the potato seedling stems and leaves close to the root is located at the arc-shaped clamps 23, and then the arc-shaped clamps 23 are slowly released, the spring 24 rebounds, and the arc-shaped clamps 23 slide toward the center in the movable groove 22 and move closer to each other until the arc-shaped clamps 23 contact the potato seedlings and abut against the potato seedlings. The elastic force of the spring 24 is used to clamp the potato seedlings, which has an adjustable effect. During the growth of the potato seedlings, when the clamped stems are slightly thicker, the spring 24 can be compressed. Through the compression of the spring 24, some stem growth space is released to avoid excessive rigid clamping that affects the growth of the stems or even damages the stems.

[0038] According to a further optimization scheme, the side length of the clamping block 20 and the diameter of the through hole 21 are both larger than the diameter of the seedling raising hole 4 .

[0039] The clamping block 20 must be larger than the seedling hole 4 so that the clamping mechanism can be placed above the seedling hole 4, and the through hole 21 must have a sufficient diameter to facilitate the placement of potato seedlings.

[0040] To further optimize the solution, a fixed block 25 is rotatably connected in the middle of the screw rod 5 , the bottom end of the fixed block 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the lifting slot 2 , and an anti-collision pad 26 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed block 25 close to the movable slider 6 .

[0041] The fixed block 25 can provide support for the middle part of the longer screw rod 5 to prevent the middle part of the screw rod 5 from deforming and falling, and can also prevent the movable slider 6 on one side from being too close to the fixed slider 27, causing the cover plate 3 to lose balance. In addition, the anti-collision pad 26 on one side can prevent the fixed slider 6 from directly colliding with the fixed block 25, thereby extending the service life.

[0042] The parts not described in detail in the present invention are all conventional technical means known to those skilled in the art.

[0043] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside" and "outside" etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0044] The embodiments described above are only descriptions of the preferred methods of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field should fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
