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.

[0028] Embodiment 1

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 A hydroponic device for herbaceous plants, comprising a hydroponic box body 1, the hydroponic box body 1 is composed of a water storage outer box 101 and a hydroponic inner box 102 arranged in the water storage outer box 101, the hydroponic inner box 102 is provided with a plurality of placement pockets for placing herbaceous plants, the water storage outer box 101 is provided with a clean water inlet, the bottom of the water storage outer box 101 is provided with a cleaning component 2 for cleaning root secretions of herbaceous plants, and one side of the water storage outer box 101 is provided with a spraying component 3 for spraying clean water on the leaves of herbaceous plants;

[0030] The cleaning assembly 2 includes a cleaning rod 201 and a power unit for driving the cleaning rod 201 to work. The cleaning rod 201 is slidably disposed at the bottom of the water storage outer box 101 and can rotate to clean the roots of the herbaceous plants in the water storage outer box 101.

[0031] Since the hydroponic box body 1 is composed of a water storage outer box 101 and a hydroponic inner box 102 arranged in the water storage outer box 101, the herb can be placed in the placement pocket on the hydroponic inner box 102, and then the entire hydroponic inner box 102 is placed on the water storage outer box 101, and then clean water can be introduced into the water storage outer box 101 through the clean water inlet of the water storage outer box 101, thereby completing the hydroponic cultivation of the herb. During the secondary root promotion of the herb hydroponic plant, the water storage outer box 101 can be cleaned by the cleaning component 2, and the root secretions of the herb under the hydroponic inner box 102 can be cleaned at the same time, and the cleaning rod 201 can reciprocate at the bottom of the water storage outer box 101, and the cleaning rod 201 can move back and forth at the bottom of the water storage outer box 101, and the cleaning rod 201 can move vertically. The line can also rotate during movement, so it can drive the liquid at the bottom of the water storage box 101 to continuously clean the roots of the herb. Compared with the original direct use of clean water to remove root secretions, the stirred water flow can form countless turbulences to better clean the roots of the herb. If the clean water inlet of the water storage box 101 is directly connected to the external water source, the inside of the water storage box 101 can be directly cleaned when changing water, thereby improving the cleaning quality of the cleaning component 2, and spraying clean water onto the leaves of the herb through the spray component 3. The entire process does not require manual participation, and only the working state of the spray component 3 needs to be controlled, thereby reducing the labor intensity of hydroponics of herb.

[0032] Embodiment 2

[0033] Please refer to Figure 2-Figure 6 This embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment. This embodiment is made on the basis of the first embodiment and has the same beneficial effects as the first embodiment. The same parts can be referred to each other and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] As a technical solution of this embodiment, the power part of the cleaning assembly 2 includes a drain shell 202 connected to the water storage outer box 101, a driving member 203 is provided on the drain shell 202, a screw rod 204 is rotatably provided in the drain shell 202, the output end of the driving member 203 is fixedly connected to the screw rod 204, a threaded seat 205 is provided on the screw rod 204 through a threaded connection, a guide member for limiting the movement of the threaded seat 205 is provided in the drain shell 202, a T-shaped moving member 206 is provided on the threaded seat 205, a limiting ring is provided on the cleaning rod 201, and a rotating chamber for facilitating the rotation of the cleaning rod 201 and the limiting ring is opened in the T-shaped moving member 206;

[0035] The cleaning rod 201 is provided with two driven gears 207, the inner wall of the water storage outer box 101 is provided with two L-shaped fixing plates 208, and the L-shaped fixing plates 208 are provided with gear blocks used in conjunction with the driven gears 207, and the cleaning rod 201 is provided with multiple groups of brushes 209 for cleaning the roots of herbal plants;

[0036] The L-shaped fixed plate 208 is provided with a rectangular groove for sliding with the cleaning rod 201, and the bottom of the water storage outer box 101 is provided with a rectangular groove for moving with the T-shaped moving part 206; the bottom of the drainage shell 202 is provided with a sewage outlet, the water storage outer box 101 is provided with a clean water inlet, and the bottom of the drainage shell 202 is provided with a scraper for sliding, and the threaded seat 205 is fixedly connected to the scraper through a connecting block;

[0037] As can be seen from the above, the specific working principle of the cleaning component 2 in the utility model is as follows: when the driving member 203 is working in actual use, the driving member 203 can be a power device such as a motor or an electric motor, which in turn drives the screw rod 204 to rotate. Since the screw rod 204 works in the liquid, the material of the screw rod 204 is generally selected to be a stainless steel screw rod. The rotation of the screw rod 204 can drive the threaded seat 205 to move inside the liquid discharge shell 202. Due to the setting of the guide member, it is further stipulated that the threaded seat 205 can only move in a straight line and will not rotate; since a T-shaped moving member 206 is provided on the threaded seat 205, and the cleaning rod 201 is rotatably arranged in the T-shaped moving member 206, when the threaded seat 205 moves, it can drive the cleaning rod 201 to move inside the water storage outer box 101. In order to prevent the cleaning rod 201 from generating axial movement when moving, a limiting ring is provided in the middle part of the cleaning rod 201 to prevent the cleaning rod 201 from axial movement. When 201 moves inside the water storage outer box 101, the two driven gears 207 arranged on the cleaning rod 201 will mesh with the gear blocks on the L-shaped fixing plate 208, thereby driving the cleaning rod 201 to rotate, that is, the cleaning rod 201 will rotate when it moves linearly inside the water storage outer box 101, which causes the brush 209 arranged on the cleaning rod 201 to rotate and move linearly at the same time, thereby greatly stirring the liquid inside the water storage outer box 101, and the stirred liquid can then directly impact the inner wall of the water storage outer box 101 and the roots of the herbaceous plants under the hydroponic inner box 102. At this time, when clean water is introduced into the water storage outer box 101, the drain port is opened at the bottom of the drain shell 202. After the clean water flows into the water storage outer box 101, it will impact the roots of the herbaceous plants, which is better than the traditional method of directly flushing with clean water, and can clean the root secretions of the herbaceous plants more quickly, reducing the cleaning time and improving the cleaning quality.

[0038] Embodiment 3

[0039] Please refer to Figure 3-Figure 6This embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment. This embodiment is made on the basis of the first embodiment and has the same beneficial effects as the first embodiment. The same parts can be referred to each other and will not be described in detail here.

[0040] As a technical solution of this embodiment, the spray assembly 3 includes two temporary storage boxes 301 arranged on the water storage outer box 101, and a water guide rod 302 is rotatably connected between the two temporary storage boxes 301, and a water distribution plate 303 is connected to the water guide rod 302, and a plurality of spray heads 304 are arranged on the water distribution plate 303;

[0041] The spray assembly 3 also includes a water pump 305 disposed on the water storage outer box 101 , the input end of the water pump 305 is interconnected with the inside of the drainage shell 202 through a water pipe, and the output end of the water pump 305 is interconnected with one of the temporary storage boxes 301 through a water pipe.

[0042] The spray head 304 is L-shaped, and the angle between the water outlet axis at the end of the spray head 304 and the water distribution plate 303 is 45°. The water distribution plate 303 is fixed to one of the temporary storage boxes 301 by a positioning pin. The bottom of the drainage shell 202 is provided with a sewage outlet, and the water storage outer box 101 is provided with a clean water inlet.

[0043] As can be seen from the above, the specific working principle of the spray assembly 3 in the utility model is: when the inside of the water storage box 101 is cleaned, the clean water in the water storage box 101 can be pumped to the leaf surface of the herbaceous plant through the spray assembly 3, and the water pump 305 is started. The water pump 305 pumps the clean water inside the drainage shell 202 into the temporary storage box 301. Since the temporary storage box 301 is connected with the water guide rod 302, the water distribution plate 303 and the plurality of spray heads 304, the clean water can be discharged from the plurality of spray heads 304. The height and angle of the spray head 304 are set, and the clean water is sprayed onto the leaves of the herbaceous plants at a certain angle. The whole process does not require human intervention. It only needs to control the start and stop of the water pump 305, and there is no need to worry about spraying too much clean water, that is, the total amount of clean water inside the drainage shell 202 is constant, and the clean water is flowing in a circulation. The rotatable water distribution plate 303 is located above the water storage box 101 when in use, and is rotated downward and stored on one side of the water storage box 101 when not in use, thereby not affecting the light intensity of the herbaceous plants.

[0044] Each embodiment in this specification is described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the embodiments can be referred to each other. For the above embodiments, since they are basically similar to the method embodiments, the description is relatively simple, and the relevant parts can be referred to the partial description of the method embodiments.

[0045] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
