[0002] Vegetable planting is one of the more mature technologies in agricultural planting. In plain areas with fertile soil, vegetables can usually be planted directly on ordinary arable land through a series of processes such as sowing, irrigation and fertilization, and a large output can be obtained. However, with the continuous development of agriculture, for some harsh environments, such as saline-alkali land, desert, Gobi desert and other areas, my country has introduced greenhouse planting technology or improved the harsh soil and then planted. In greenhouse planting in these areas, soilless cultivation is generally used, and more substrates are laid in the greenhouse to achieve the conditions for vegetable planting. However, there are many problems when planting in the substrate. The irrigation water is easy to accumulate, which makes the substrate less air permeable, and the water retention and root respiration are poor. The roots of vegetables are prone to poor growth or even rot, affecting the yield of vegetables. Secondly, the problem faced by improving the above soil is that it takes a long time, and the yield of vegetables is poor for a long time.

[0028] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Example

[0030] As mentioned in the background technology, greenhouse planting technology or soil improvement technology is currently mainly used for planting in relatively harsh soil environments, but both have many defects. Due to the poor soil environment, more substrates need to be laid in the greenhouse, but during irrigation, the substrate is easy to accumulate water, soaking the roots of vegetables, affecting the normal breathing of the roots, and the substrate needs to be replaced or added frequently to ensure nutrition. Secondly, if the soil is improved, the improvement cycle is long, and the improved soil still has a lot of salt and other adverse factors underground, and alkalinity and other phenomena will occur, affecting the normal growth of the roots. Therefore, the inventor has designed a root nourishing device suitable for the planting of vegetables in relatively harsh soils. The following is a detailed explanation with reference to the diagram.

[0031] This embodiment provides a root care device for vegetable planting, see Figure 1 , including multiple root racks 1 arranged on a reference plane, and a channel is formed between the root rack 1 and the reference plane, with openings at both ends. The root rack 1 is buried in the soil as a whole and can be used for many years without sunlight. Two adjacent root racks 1 are connected end to end, and any side of the root rack 1 is set to an opening shape. In this embodiment, in order to make the root rack 1 have a larger contact area with the soil and improve the water permeability and air permeability of the soil, the cross-section of the root rack 1 is arc-shaped, and the central angle of the arc is 150°-200°, and while ensuring a larger contact area, the air permeability and water permeability are maximized. In this embodiment, the central angle of the cross-section of the root rack 1 is 180°, that is, the root rack 1 is set to a semicircular cylindrical structure, and the side opening is a semicircular straight side. When in use, the root rack 1 is buckled with the curved surface facing upward in the used area.

[0032] In this embodiment, two adjacent root racks 1 are connected by a buckle. Figure 1 and Figure 2 Specifically, the inner diameter of the head end of the root rack 1 is consistent with the outer diameter of the tail end, and the head and tail ends of two adjacent root racks 1 can be plugged in. The plug-in area at the head and tail ends is much smaller than the overall length of the root rack 1, that is, the tail end of the previous root rack 1 can be inserted into the head end of the next root rack 1. However, it should be noted that the inner diameter and outer diameter of all the root rack 1 bodies (excluding the head and tail ends) are consistent, and in order to facilitate the fixation of two adjacent root racks 1 after plugging in, a card slot 6 is opened at the head end of the root rack 1, and a card block 7 is correspondingly arranged at the tail end. There are at least three card slots 6 and card blocks 7 on their respective planes, and the positions are correspondingly arranged, so that after the head and tail of the two adjacent root racks 1 are plugged in to each other, the card blocks 7 can enter the corresponding card slots 6 one by one to fix the two.

[0033] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 1In order to ensure that the moisture in the soil above the root rack 1 can seep out, a plurality of seepage holes 2 are opened on the end surface of the root rack 1, and the seepage holes 2 are arranged along the length direction of the root rack 1. When drip irrigation is performed on the soil, excess moisture in the soil can flow into the bottom of the root rack 1 through the seepage holes 2, ensuring that the moisture in the soil is not excessive, and avoiding soaking of the vegetable roots in the soil.

[0034] On the basis of the above structure, in order to be able to drain the water that has infiltrated into the bottom of the root rack 1, combined with Figure 4 , the movable ends of the first and last root racks 1 are both installed with sealing plates 3, the cross-sectional shape of the sealing plates 3 is consistent with the cross-sectional shape of the root rack 1, and in the present embodiment, they are both semicircular, and not all root racks 1 are installed with sealing plates 3, only the first end of the first root rack 1 and the tail end of the last root rack 1 are installed with sealing plates 3, that is, the openings at the first and tail ends of all root racks 1 connected are blocked, and the sealing plates 3 are not arranged inside to ensure the flow of excess water at the bottom, and in order to ensure that the excess water can be discharged from the root rack 1, a water hole 4 is opened in the direction perpendicular to the sealing plate 3, and is connected to the channel between the root rack 1 and the reference plane, and the water hole 4 is away from the root rack 1 is connected with a connecting pipe 5, and it is also necessary to ensure that a certain height of nutrient solution and water are retained in the root rack 1 to ensure the humidity of the environment. The water hole 4 is close to the side opening of the root rack 1 and is 3cm-6cm away from the opening end face. Specifically, the water hole 4 is close to the side opening of the root rack 1 and is 4cm away from the opening end face, which can ensure that at most 4cm of nutrient solution and water are retained in the root rack 1, avoiding the situation where the root environment of vegetables is too dry and causes root necrosis. When the water exceeds 4cm, it can flow out of the water hole 4 of the sealing plate 3 connected at the end, and the water hole 4 of the sealing plate 3 connected to the first root rack 1 can provide moisture for the root rack 1.

[0035] Specifically, the sealing plate 3 is also connected to the root rack 1 by means of a snap-fit, but there are certain differences in the connection between the first root rack 1 and the end root rack 1, wherein the outer diameter of the sealing plate 3 is consistent with the inner diameter of the head end of the root rack 1, so that the sealing plate 3 can be inserted as a whole into the head end of the first root rack 1, and in order to fix the sealing plate 3 at the head end, a limiting block 9 is provided on the outer edge surface of the sealing plate 3, which can cooperate with the slot 6, and the number and position correspond to the slot 6. After the sealing plate 3 is inserted, the limiting block 9 can be inserted into the slot 6 to complete the fixation of the two.

[0036] Secondly, in order to enable the sealing plate 3 to continue to be fixed to the tail end of the last root rack 1, a mounting groove 8 is opened on the side of the sealing plate 3 away from the connecting pipe 5. The mounting groove 8 is a semicircular structure corresponding to the sealing plate 3. The diameter of the mounting groove 8 is consistent with the outer diameter of the tail end of the root rack 1, so that the tail end of the root rack 1 can be inserted into the mounting groove 8. Since a clamping block 7 is provided at the tail end, a corresponding limiting groove 10 is opened in the mounting groove 8. After the root rack 1 is inserted into the mounting groove 8, the clamping block 7 can enter the limiting groove 10 to complete the fixation of the sealing plate 3 and the last root rack 1.

[0037] On the basis of the above structure, in order to improve the breathing effect of the roots of vegetables, so that air can quickly enter the root rack 1 and then enter the soil above, the upper end surface of the root rack 1 is also provided with an air vent 11, and in order to ensure uniform air intake, the air vent 11 is located at the center of the plane where the root rack 1 is located, and the air vent 11 is connected to a ventilation pipe 12, which is introduced into the soil above through the ventilation pipe 12, so that a part of the air can directly enter the bottom of the roots without passing through the soil, and then return to the soil from the bottom, which speeds up the air circulation, can provide sufficient oxygen for the roots of vegetables, and ensure normal breathing.

[0038] Specifically, the present solution provides a planting system, in which the root-raising device is applied to the planting system, mainly for harsh soil environments or greenhouses where substrates need to be laid. The planting system includes a pre-dug ditch, and the ditch width and depth are consistent with the width and height of a single root-raising rack 1. The length is dug according to planting needs or site planning. A ground film is laid in the ditch, and the bottom surface of the ditch is a reference plane. Multiple root-raising racks 1 are placed in the ditch in sequence. The ground film can separate the root-raising racks 1 from the ditch soil, and then the multiple root-raising racks 1 are fixed head to tail, and sealing plates 3 are installed at the first and last root-raising racks 1. The connecting holes of the two sealing plates 3 are installed with connecting pipes 5, one end is used for water inlet, and the other end is used for water outlet, and the connecting pipe 5 is connected to the circulation filtering equipment, so that excess water and nutrient solution can be filtered and circulated.

[0039] Secondly, the ventilation hole 11 is connected to the ventilation pipe 12, and non-woven fabric is laid on the root frame 1, and then the soil is covered on the non-woven fabric. The soil thickness of 20cm-30cm is the planting layer. The non-woven fabric can prevent the soil from entering the root frame 1 at the seepage hole 2. The soil covers the entire root frame 1, and the nutrient solution is introduced through the connecting pipe 5 to form a root protection layer. The height of the nutrient solution is 4cm-5cm. The ventilation pipe 12 is connected to the top of the soil, and an oxygen-permeable layer is formed between the nutrient solution and the root frame 1. The height is 6cm-8cm, and oxygen can pass through the ventilation pipe 12. Entering into the oxygen-permeable layer, a drip irrigation system for irrigation is laid above the soil. At this point, the entire planting system is completed, and vegetables can be sown in the soil. During irrigation, the drip irrigation system is turned on, water penetrates into the soil, and excess water flows into the ditch. The ground film can prevent water loss, and water exceeding the height of the water hole 4 flows out through the connecting pipe 5. The ventilation pipe 12 above the soil allows air to directly enter the root rack 1 under the soil, and then return to the soil through the non-woven fabric, providing breathing oxygen for the roots of vegetables in the soil.
