[0002] In recent years, with the continuous development of agricultural science and technology, soilless cultivation technology has gradually entered the public eye. The use of soilless cultivation technology can protect crops from diseases, pests and pesticide residues. In addition, soilless cultivation technology has the advantages of not being restricted by soil and avoiding continuous cropping obstacles. It is suitable for areas and cities with poor soil and is conducive to the realization of agricultural modernization. Non-solid matrix soilless cultivation methods are divided into hydroponics and aeroponics. Traditional hydroponics and aeroponics planting techniques will expose water to the environment, which will accelerate the evaporation rate of water and greatly increase water consumption, thereby increasing costs. At the same time, the plant factories developed in recent years are moving towards automation from sowing, seedling raising to transplanting and harvesting. The existing fixed planting racks cannot be moved flexibly and can no longer adapt to large-scale automated planting. This not only affects the efficiency of vegetable planting, but also limits the production capacity of vegetable planting. Utility Model Content

[0023] like Figure 1-6As shown, in this embodiment, a plant planting tube rack is provided, comprising: a frame 1, the frame 1 is made of a new aluminum alloy material, the frame 1 has a predetermined bearing capacity, and a water receiving trough 2 is provided at the bottom, the water receiving trough 2 collects the water and nutrient solution dripped by the drip irrigation pipe 15 and the water and nutrient solution not absorbed by the rock wool block 9, and returns to the external nutrient solution pipe after filtering, and is transported to the drip irrigation pipe 15 again for spraying through the replenishment of the nutrient solution tank; a transmission chain 14 is provided on one side of the top of the frame 1 close to the water receiving trough 2, and a stepping motor 3 is provided on one side of the transmission chain 14, and the stepping motor 3 can be electrically connected to an external PID control cabinet and controlled by the PID control cabinet Its rotation speed can accurately control the number of turns of the rotor; a plurality of chain hooks 6 are arranged inside the transmission chain 14, and the chain hooks 6 are connected to the square tube 8 through a fixing rod 7. The square tube 8 is made of PVC material and can provide a dry and less bacterial environment for the planting process. The square tube 8 is open on both sides and hollow inside, with a predetermined receiving space, and a plurality of rock wool blocks 9 are arranged inside. The rock wool blocks 9 have the properties of light weight, good water absorption, not easy to decompose and recyclable, and will not affect the growth of plants. Therefore, the rock wool blocks 9 can effectively solve the contradiction between the supply of water, nutrients and trace elements in traditional soil cultivation, greatly ensure the consistency between batches, and can further The loss of nutrient solution or water resources is reduced so that the roots of plants in the tube can absorb the elements needed for growth to the maximum extent. A humidity sensor is provided inside the rock wool block 9 at the bottom. When the rock wool block 9 at the bottom detects that the humidity is low, the pump 5 is started to drive the drip irrigation pipe 15 to drip irrigation until the humidity sensor value returns to normal. The minimum value of the humidity sensor is 55% RH. Rock wool planting holes 901 are started inside the rock wool block 9.
