[0040] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, an embodiment of a planting rack of the utility model is shown, comprising:

[0041] The circulating water tank 1 is located at the bottom of the planting rack. It is an open top, coverless box-shaped structure with a storage function. Specifically, the circulating water tank 1 is an open top, coverless rectangular parallelepiped, used to store most of the hydroponic water needed for hydroponic plants.

[0042] The planting rack 2 includes four vertically arranged columns 201, and the lower ends of the columns 201 are fixedly connected to the circulating water tank 1. Specifically, the column 201 is made of stainless steel, and each column 201 has a mounting groove 202 along its length direction. The mounting groove 202 includes two mutually perpendicular mounting surfaces. When viewed from top to bottom, the cross section of the column 201 has a right-angle notch.

[0043] There are several receiving groups, which are arranged on the planting frame 2 in sequence from top to bottom. Each receiving group includes eight angle brackets 3 located at the same horizontal height, and the angle brackets 3 include mutually perpendicular connecting pieces 301 and receiving pieces 302. The connecting pieces 301 of the angle brackets 3 are detachably connected to the mounting surface of the mounting groove 202, so that the receiving pieces 302 of the angle brackets 3 are in a horizontal state. Specifically, a plurality of threaded holes 203 are also provided on the connecting pieces 301 of the angle brackets 3 and the mounting surface of the mounting groove 202, and the angle brackets 3 can be fixed to the mounting surface by screws so that the two can be detachably connected. In other embodiments, a hook facing downward protrudes outward on the connecting piece 301 of the angle bracket 3, and a hanging hole 204 suitable for inserting the hook is provided on the mounting surface of the mounting groove 202, and the angle bracket 3 can be hung on the mounting surface so that the two can be detachably connected. Two adjacent angle codes 3 can also cooperate with the bottom of the installation groove 202 to form a space suitable for placing electrical wires or pipes 12 for water supply and drainage, which is convenient for routing and organizing wire harnesses and pipes.

[0044] The planting trough 4 is a coverless box-shaped structure with an open top, specifically a rectangular trough with an open top. There are multiple planting troughs 4. In this embodiment, three planting troughs 4 are provided.

[0045] A cavity is provided in the planting trough 4 for containing water containing nutrient solution required by the hydroponic plants arranged therein. The planting trough 4 is arranged on the receiving piece 302 of the corner code 3. Since only the four corners of the planting trough 4 can be supported, and there is water in the planting trough 4 with a certain mass, in order to avoid uneven force on the bottom of the planting trough 4, in other embodiments, a planting support frame 5 is further provided between the planting trough 4 and the corner code 3. The planting support frame 5 is a rectangular flat frame made of stainless steel. The planting support frame 5 is first provided on the corner code 3, and then the planting trough 4 is provided on the planting support frame 5. This can make the planting trough 4 more evenly stressed and provide a better supporting effect. The planting trough 4 at the bottom can be directly provided on the circulating water tank 1.

[0046] The bottom of the planting trough 4 is provided with a water inlet 401 and a water outlet 402, which are used to input and discharge water required for hydroponics, respectively. The amount of water used for hydroponics in the planting trough 4 can be controlled by controlling the distance between the leakage point of the water outlet 402 and the bottom of the planting trough 4. When the water used for hydroponics is higher than the leakage point of the water outlet 402, it will leave the planting trough 4 through the leakage point due to gravity. In other embodiments, the number of water inlets 401 and water outlets 402 can also be multiple, which can speed up the replacement of old and new water and improve the water quality of hydroponics.

[0047] The upper end cover of the planting trough 4 is provided with a hydroponic cover plate 403, which is a rectangular foam plate with a plurality of planting holes 404 evenly opened. The size of the hydroponic cover plate 403 matches the upper end of the planting trough 4 so that it can be stably covered on the upper end of the planting trough 4. The planting hole 404 is a circular hole suitable for placing a planting basket. A planting basket is arranged in each planting hole 404. Because the sizes of different plants are not the same, the size of the planting basket and the size of the planting hole 404 are also different, depending on the specific plants to be cultivated. In this embodiment, the planting basket includes a type 1 hydroponic basket 405 suitable for immersion water hydroponics, a type 2 hydroponic basket 406 suitable for indirect water hydroponics, and a type 3 hydroponic basket 407 suitable for atomized water hydroponics.

[0048] A type of hydroponic basket 405 is more suitable for hydroponically growing vegetables whose roots can directly contact water. Therefore, a type of hydroponic basket 405 is provided with a plurality of perforations at the bottom thereof suitable for the roots of the corresponding hydroponic plants to pass through, and the corresponding planting trough 4 generally contains a certain height of hydroponic water. After the roots of the hydroponic plants pass through the perforations, they can be directly immersed in the hydroponic water in the planting trough 4. The shape of the perforations is a circular hole or a rectangular hole suitable for the roots of the hydroponic plants to pass through.

[0049] The second-class hydroponic basket 406 is more suitable for hydroponics of plants whose roots are not suitable for long-term direct immersion in water, such as fruit plants. Therefore, a hydroponic hole is provided at the bottom of the second-class hydroponic basket 406, and a water absorption rope 4061 is passed through the hydroponic hole. One end of the water absorption rope 4061 is immersed in the water in the cavity, and the other end is located in the second-class hydroponic basket 406. The fruit plants in the second-class hydroponic basket 406 can obtain the water needed for growth through the water absorption rope 4061 without direct contact with water.

[0050] The third type of hydroponic basket 407 is more suitable for hydroponically growing plants whose roots require water and air, such as potatoes, peanuts, sweet potatoes and leafy vegetables. Therefore, like the first type of hydroponic basket 405, the bottom of the third type of hydroponic basket 407 is also provided with a plurality of perforations suitable for the roots of the corresponding hydroponic plants to pass through, and the planting trough 4 is provided with an atomizing nozzle 6 connected to the water inlet 401 of the planting trough 4. The roots of the hydroponic plants can directly extend into the planting trough 4 after passing through the perforations, and obtain hydroponic water through the atomizing nozzle 6. The shape of the perforations is a circular hole or a rectangular hole suitable for the roots of the hydroponic plants to pass through. In this case, there will generally only be a shallow layer of hydroponic water left in the planting trough 4. After the root system of the plant is well developed, nutrients can also be obtained simultaneously through the shallow water at the bottom and atomization.

[0051] The lighting layer 7 includes a lamp board 701 and a concave-shaped protective frame arranged on both sides of the lamp board 701. Specifically, the protective frame is a concave-shaped aluminum groove, and the lamp board 701 can be set in the aluminum groove by pulling.

[0052] The water circulation mechanism includes a water pump 8, a diverter 9, a water inlet pipe 10, a drain pipe 12 and a valve 11. The water pump 8 is arranged in the circulating water tank 1, and the water outlet of the water pump 8 is connected to the water inlet of the diverter 9. The several water outlets of the diverter 9 are each connected to a planting tank 4 through a water inlet pipe 10. A valve 11 is arranged on each water inlet pipe 10. Specifically, the diverter 9 is a positive three-way pipe, and the valve 11 on the water inlet pipe 10 is a solenoid valve. The water inlet pipe 10 and the drain pipe 12 are both soft pipes, and a certain length can be reserved to facilitate the movement of the top planting rack 2. One end of the water outlet of the water inlet pipe 10 is connected to the water inlet of the planting tank 4 through a wire connector, and the water inlet of the drain pipe 12 is connected to the drain port 402 of the planting tank 4 through a wire connector. The circulating water tank 1 is arranged at the bottom, which can improve the positioning stability of the entire planting rack through its own large mass, and can facilitate the drainage of the planting tank 4.

[0053] In this embodiment, since there are different hydroponic methods, specifically including a type 1 hydroponic basket 405, a type 2 hydroponic basket 406, and a type 3 hydroponic basket 407, and the amount of water required for each method is also different, when there is only one water pump 8, the flow of this waterway can be adjusted by the valve 11 provided on the water inlet pipe 10. In addition, by adding a water pump 8, one water pump 8 can work for only one planting trough 4.

[0054] The main control unit 13 includes a power module 1301 , which is electrically connected to the light board 701 through a wire quick connector 702 to supply power to the light board 701 .

[0055] In other embodiments, a filter screen 408 and a water level alarm (not shown) are also provided in the circulating water tank 1. The filter screen 408 separates the water pump 8 from the drain pipe, and can filter impurities such as roots and leaves flowing out of the drain pipe to prevent them from affecting the normal operation of the water pump 8. The power module 1301 supplies power to the water level alarm device, which can sound an alarm when the water level of the circulating water tank 1 is abnormal due to a circulation system failure, and promptly remind the user to handle it.

[0056] In this embodiment, the main control unit 13 also includes a display module 1302, which is connected to the water level alarm data, and specifically includes three indicator lights for displaying whether the data is abnormal. For example, when the water level is normal, it is displayed as green, and when the water level is abnormal, it is displayed as yellow or red, so that the user can obtain the water level situation in time.

[0057] In other embodiments, a backup infusion unit 14 is also included, including a backup water pipe 1401 and a solenoid valve 1402. The circulating water tank 1 is connected to an external water supply or water storage device, such as a faucet or an external liquid storage barrel 1403, through the backup water pipe 1401. The solenoid valve 1402 is arranged on the backup water pipe 1401 and can control the water flow rate of the backup water pipe 1401.
