Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of soilless cultivation, in particular to an automatic nutrient solution feeding device. Background Art
[0002] Soilless cultivation is a new crop cultivation technology developed in recent decades. Crops are not cultivated in the soil, but in a water solution (nutrient solution) containing dissolved minerals; or in a certain cultivation medium, using nutrient solution to cultivate crops. Since crops are cultivated without using natural soil, it is called soilless cultivation. Soilless cultivation is free from the restrictions of soil. In places with suitable light and temperature but no soil, such as deserts, beaches, and deserted islands, it can be carried out as long as there is a certain amount of fresh water supply.
[0003] Application No. 202121598379.2 provides an automatic nutrient solution device based on soilless cultivation, including a mixing box and a cultivation box. The left side of the top of the cultivation box is fixedly connected to the mixing box, and the right side of the mixing box is connected to a delivery pipe. The end of the delivery pipe away from the mixing box is connected to the cultivation box, and the surface of the delivery pipe is connected to an electromagnetic valve. The top and bottom of the inner cavity of the cultivation box are fixedly connected to support columns, and the upper pressure sensor and the lower pressure sensor are respectively fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two support columns.
[0004] The device slides a floating plate on the support column, and the floating plate can move along the support column as the liquid level changes. The upper pressure sensor and the lower pressure sensor are used to detect and determine the liquid level. However, the root lengths of plants vary at different growth stages, and the root lengths of different plants at the same time are also different. Using the upper pressure sensor, the lower pressure sensor and the floating plate to determine the liquid level will result in plants lacking water and nutrient solution in the early stage of cultivation, and some plants lacking nutrient solution and water in the middle stage of cultivation and the harvest period, which will affect the growth and harvest of the plants.

[0029] Embodiment 1:
[0030] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model describes the above technical solution in detail through the following embodiments:
[0031] A nutrient solution automatic feeding device, comprising:
[0032] The feeding component 1 includes a mixing tank 11, which is used to mix nutrient solution and water. A reflux port 15 is welded on the top of the mixing tank 11, and a discharge port 16 is welded on the bottom of the rear end of the mixing tank 11. The mixing tank 11 is connected to an automatic replenishment component 2 through the reflux port 15 and the discharge port 16.
[0033] The mixing tank 11 can be made of a stainless steel tank. The inner lower edge of the discharge port 16 is flush with the inner lower edge of the mixing tank 11. The mixed liquid in the mixing tank 11 can be discharged from the discharge port 16.
[0034] A feed inlet 14 is welded to the front side of the top of the mixing tank 11 .
[0035] The feed inlet 14 is used to feed nutrient solution and water into the mixing tank 11 .
[0036] A mixing roller 13 is rotatably installed in the mixing tank 11 , and the head of the mixing roller 13 passes through the mixing tank 11 and is connected to a mixing motor 12 .
[0037] The mixing motor 12 is fixedly connected to the mixing tank 11 by bolts. The output shaft of the mixing motor 12 is fixedly connected to the mixing roller 13 by a coupling.
[0038] When the mixing motor 12 is working, it can drive the mixing roller 13 to rotate, thereby stirring the mixed liquid in the mixing tank 11 to ensure that the nutrient solution is fully mixed and the concentration is constant.
[0039] The automatic replenishment component 2 includes three liquid replenishment tanks 22. The top of the liquid replenishment tank 22 is symmetrically welded with an overflow pipe 24 and a water inlet pipe 23 on both sides. The overflow pipe 24 and the water inlet pipe 23 of two adjacent liquid replenishment tanks 22 are connected by a pipeline. The overflow pipe 24 at the front is connected to the reflux port 15 through a pipeline. Finally, the water inlet pipe 23 at the rear is connected to the discharge port 16. The bottom left side of the liquid replenishment tank 22 is connected to the cultivation component 3 through a one-way valve 26.
[0040] The liquid replenishing tank 22 can be a plastic box or a stainless steel box, and the top of the liquid replenishing tank 22 is sealed.
[0041] The water inlet pipe 23 is used to inject nutrient solution into the replenishment tank 22. When the nutrient solution level in the replenishment tank 22 exceeds the lower edge of the overflow pipe 24, excess liquid will flow out from the overflow pipe 24 to ensure that the liquid level in the replenishment tank 22 remains unchanged.
[0042] The automatic replenishing component 2 also includes a liquid replenishing pump 21, the liquid inlet of the liquid replenishing pump 21 is connected to the discharge port 16 through a pipeline, and the liquid outlet of the liquid replenishing pump 21 is connected to the water inlet pipe 23 of the liquid replenishing tank 22 at the rear side through a pipeline.
[0043] The liquid replenishment pump 21 is used to pump the mixed nutrient solution in the mixing tank 11 into the liquid replenishment tank 22 at the rear end, and then flow to the water inlet pipe 23 of the next liquid replenishment tank 22 through the overflow pipe 24 until the liquid levels in all the liquid replenishment tanks 22 are consistent. The nutrient solution will flow out from the overflow pipe 24 of the frontmost liquid replenishment tank 22, and then return to the mixing tank 11 from the reflux port 15.
[0044] A water outlet pipe 25 is welded to the bottom of the left side of the liquid replenishment tank 22 , and the water outlet pipe 25 is threadedly connected to the liquid inlet of the one-way valve 26 , and the inner bottom surface of the liquid replenishment tank 22 is flush with the inner lower edge of the water outlet pipe 25 .
[0045] The nutrient solution in the liquid replenishing tank 22 can be discharged through the one-way valve 26 .
[0046] The cultivation assembly 3 includes three culture tanks 32, the top surface of the culture tank 32 is flush with the lower edge of the overflow pipe 24, and the culture tanks 32 are connected by a circulation assembly, which is used for the circulation of nutrient solution between different culture tanks 32. A water inlet 34 is provided at the bottom of the right side of the culture tank 32, and the water inlet 34 is threadedly connected to the liquid outlet of the one-way valve 26, and the inner bottom surface of the culture tank 32 is flush with the inner lower edge of the water inlet 34.
[0047] A bracket 31 is welded to the bottom of the culture tank 32 , and the bracket 31 is used to support the weight of the culture tank 32 and ensure that the top surface height of the culture tank 32 is flush with the lower edge of the overflow pipe 24 .
[0048] When the liquid level of the nutrient solution in the culture tank 32 is lower than the liquid level of the nutrient solution in the replenishing tank 22, there is a pressure difference on both sides of the one-way valve 26. When the pressure difference is greater than the opening pressure of the one-way valve 26, the nutrient solution in the replenishing tank 22 will flow out from the outlet pipe 25, pass through the one-way valve 26, and flow to the culture tank 32 through the water inlet 34.
[0049] At the same time, the one-way valve 26 can prevent the nutrient solution in the culture tank 32 from flowing back into the liquid replenishment tank 22, thereby preventing the nutrient solution in the liquid replenishment tank 22 from being contaminated.
[0050] Since the top surface of the culture tank 32 is flush with the lower edge of the overflow pipe 24, and the liquid level of the nutrient solution in the liquid replenishing tank 22 is flush with the lower edge of the overflow pipe 24, the liquid level in the culture tank 32 is basically maintained at a position close to the top surface of the culture tank 32. The height difference between the liquid level and the top surface of the culture tank 32 is determined by the opening pressure of the one-way valve 26.
[0051] The circulation component includes a circulation pump 36, and both ends of the circulation pump 36 are connected to circulation pipes 35, and the circulation pipes 35 connect all the culture tanks 32 in series.
[0052] When the circulation pump 36 is working, it can pump out the nutrient solution in the front culture tank 32 through the circulation pipe 35, and then pump the nutrient solution to the rear culture tank 32 through the circulation pipe 35. The nutrient solution between two adjacent culture tanks 32 circulates through the circulation pipe 35, thereby ensuring the flow of the nutrient solution in the culture tank 32, so that the concentration of the nutrient solution in each culture tank 32 is the same, and the growth of microorganisms is reduced.
[0053] A drain port 33 is welded to the left side of the culture tank 32 .
[0054] The drain port 33 is used to discharge the nutrient solution in the culture tank 32 to facilitate cleaning of the culture tank 32 .
[0055] When the operator of this embodiment uses the device, the nutrient solution and water are added into the mixing tank 11 through the feed port 14. The mixing motor 12 is started to drive the mixing roller 13 to rotate and stir the mixture of the nutrient solution.
[0056] After the mixing is completed, the liquid replenishing pump 21 is started to pump the nutrient solution in the mixing tank 11 out from the discharge port 16 and then pump it into the rearmost liquid replenishing tank 22 through the water inlet pipe 23 .
[0057] When the liquid level of the nutrient solution in the replenishment tank 22 exceeds the lower edge of the overflow pipe 24, the excess liquid will flow out from the overflow pipe 24, and the nutrient solution flowing out of the overflow pipe 24 will flow to the water inlet pipe 23 of the next replenishment tank 22 until the liquid levels in all the replenishment tanks 22 are consistent. The nutrient solution will flow out from the overflow pipe 24 of the frontmost replenishment tank 22, and then return to the mixing tank 11 from the reflux port 15.
[0058] When the liquid level of the nutrient solution in the culture tank 32 is lower than that in the replenishment tank 22, there is a pressure difference on both sides of the one-way valve 26. When the pressure difference is greater than the opening pressure of the one-way valve 26, the nutrient solution in the replenishment tank 22 will flow out from the outlet pipe 25, pass through the one-way valve 26, and flow to the culture tank 32 through the water inlet 34. At the same time, the one-way valve 26 can prevent the nutrient solution in the culture tank 32 from flowing back into the replenishment tank 22, thereby preventing the nutrient solution in the replenishment tank 22 from being contaminated.
[0059] Since the top surface of the culture tank 32 is flush with the lower edge of the overflow pipe 24, and the liquid level of the nutrient solution in the replenishment tank 22 is flush with the lower edge of the overflow pipe 24, the liquid level in the culture tank 32 is basically maintained at a position close to the top surface of the culture tank 32.
[0060] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model.
