[0036] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0037] See also Figure 1-Figure 9 As an embodiment of the utility model, the soilless cultivation device for medicinal plants comprises a planting frame 1, on which a plurality of rows of cultivation vessels are placed, and the rows of cultivation vessels are parallel to each other and equidistant from each other;

[0038] A supply pipe 13 is movably arranged above the planting frame 1, and the supply pipe 13 is adjacent to a walking mechanism arranged on the side of the planting frame 1, and the walking mechanism is used to drive the supply pipe 13 to intermittently and equidistantly reciprocate along the length direction of the planting frame 1;

[0039] The planting rack 1 is also provided with a feeding assembly, which cooperates alternately with the walking mechanism to pump nutrient solution into the feeding pipe 13 when the feeding pipe 13 stops moving, and discharge it into the cultivation container through a valve installed below the feeding pipe 13.

[0040] In this embodiment, since the walking mechanism can drive the supply pipe 13 to move intermittently and equidistantly, and the stroke of its equidistant movement is equal to the distance between two adjacent rows of cultivation vessels; when the walking mechanism drives the supply pipe 13 to move to the top of one row of cultivation vessels, the walking mechanism stops running, and the feeding component starts working, and injects nutrient solution into the row of cultivation vessels at the current position through the valve below the supply pipe 13; after injecting a set amount of nutrient solution, the feeding component stops working, and the walking mechanism continues to operate, driving the supply pipe 13 to move to the top of the next row of cultivation vessels, and so on and so forth, thereby realizing the function of injecting equal amounts of nutrient solution into multiple rows of cultivation vessels.

[0041] Because the feeding assembly and the walking mechanism cooperate with each other, no additional control is required for the movement of the feeding pipe 13 or the injection of nutrient solution into the cultivation vessel by the feeding pipe 13; in addition, nutrient solution is not injected during the movement of the feeding pipe 13, thereby reducing material waste caused by continuous injection of nutrient solution when the feeding pipe 13 moves between two adjacent rows of cultivation vessels.

[0042] As a further solution of the utility model, a motor 2 is arranged on the legs of the planting rack 1, a first pulley 3 is arranged on the output shaft of the motor 2, a second pulley 5 is rotatably arranged on the planting rack 1 through a bearing, and the first pulley 3 and the second pulley 5 are connected by a first belt 4.

[0043] In this embodiment, the motor 2 is started, the motor 2 drives the first pulley 3 to rotate via the output shaft, and the first pulley 3 drives the second pulley 5 to rotate via the first belt 4 .

[0044] As a further solution of the utility model, a driving wheel 6 is arranged on the second pulley 5 through a rotating shaft, and the driving wheel 6 cooperates with the first driven wheel 7 to form a set of Maltese cross movement structure, and the first driven wheel 7 is rotatably arranged on a side of the planting frame 1 close to the motor 2;

[0045] The walking mechanism includes a first sprocket 8, a second sprocket 10 and a chain 9 which are rotatably arranged on both sides of the planting frame 1, and the first sprocket 8 and the second sprocket 10 are connected by the chain 9;

[0046] The first sprocket 8, chain 9 and second sprocket 10 are arranged in two groups and are correspondingly arranged on both sides of the planting frame 1, and the first sprocket 8 on the planting frame 1 close to the motor 2 is connected to the first driven wheel 7 through another rotating shaft.

[0048] A transmission rod 24 is arranged between a group of the third pulleys 25 , and the transmission rod 24 is rotatably arranged below the planting rack 1 , and the walking mechanisms on both sides of the planting rack 1 are connected through the transmission rod 24 .

[0049] The driving wheel 6 and the first driven wheel 7 form a Maltese cross movement structure, which is an application of the prior art. Its working principle is not repeated here, and one quarter of the circumference of the first sprocket 8 is close to the lateral distance between the two groups of vessels.

[0050] In this embodiment, the rotation of the second pulley 5 drives the driving wheel 6 to rotate. One rotation of the driving wheel 6 drives the first driven wheel 7 to rotate 90 degrees. The 90-degree rotation of the first driven wheel 7 drives the first sprocket 8 to rotate 90 degrees. Similarly, the chain 9 drives the second sprocket 10 to rotate 90 degrees, i.e., a quarter of a circle.

[0051] The second sprocket 10 close to the motor 2 side will drive the fourth pulley 27 on its side to rotate 90 degrees. Similarly, the fourth pulley 27 on its side drives the third pulley 25 on its side to rotate 90 degrees through the second belt 26 on its side. Similarly, the third pulley 25 on one side rotates 90 degrees, which will drive the second sprocket 10 on the other side to rotate 90 degrees through the transmission rod 24 and the third pulley 25, the second belt 26 and the fourth pulley 27 on the other side. Similarly, the second sprocket 10 on the other side drives the first sprocket 8 near it to rotate 90 degrees through the chain 9 near it, so that both sides of the planting rack 1 are provided with intermittent movement.

[0053] A slide bar 14 is provided on one side of the planting frame 1 close to the motor 2 , and the slider 12 is slidably matched with the slide bar 14 .

[0054] In this embodiment, the chains 9 on both sides of the planting rack 1 are configured to be intermittently movable, and the link columns on the chain 9 drive the driving block 11 to move, thereby driving the slider 12 through the driving block 11 to move the distance between a group of vessels and then stop. Similarly, the slider 12 moves intermittently on the slide bar 14, driving the supply tube 13 to move intermittently and reciprocatingly above the vessel.

[0055] As a further solution of the utility model, a second driven wheel 15 is arranged on the side of the driving wheel 6 away from the first driven wheel 7, the driving wheel 6 and the second driven wheel 15 form another set of Maltese cross movement structure, and the second driven wheel 15 is rotatably arranged on the side of the planting frame 1 corresponding to the motor 2;

[0056] A first bevel gear 16 is disposed at one end of the rotating shaft of the second driven wheel 15, and the first bevel gear 16 is meshed with a second bevel gear 17;

[0057] A first connecting rod 18 is rotatably provided at the bottom of the second bevel gear 17 via a rotating shaft, and a second connecting rod 19 is rotatably provided at one end of the first connecting rod 18 away from the second bevel gear 17; and the second connecting rod 19 cooperates with the feeding assembly.

[0058] The driving wheel 6, the first driven wheel 7 and the second driven wheel 15 form a double Maltese cross movement structure, which is an application of the prior art and its working principle will not be described in detail here.

[0059] In this embodiment, after the driving wheel 6 drives the first driven wheel 7 to rotate 90 degrees, it will drive the second driven wheel 15 to rotate continuously. Similarly, it also drives the second driven wheel 15 90 degrees. The second driven wheel 15 drives the first bevel gear 16 to rotate. The radius of the first bevel gear 16 is set to be four times that of the second bevel gear 17. Therefore, when the first bevel gear 16 rotates 90 degrees, the second bevel gear 17 will rotate 360 ​​degrees, that is, one circle. Similarly, the rotating shaft on the second bevel gear 17 will push and pull the second connecting rod 19 through the first connecting rod 18 to cooperate with the feeding assembly for movement.

[0060] As a further solution of the utility model, the feeding assembly further includes a piston column 20, a plunger pump 21, a hose 22 and a sealing rubber ring 23;

[0061] The side of the piston column 20 close to the second connecting rod 19 is connected to the second connecting rod 19 through a fixing block. The piston column 20 is arranged inside the plunger pump 21, and the piston column 20 and the plunger pump 21 are slidably matched. The sealing rubber ring 23 is arranged on the end of the piston column 20 away from the second connecting rod 19;

[0062] The plunger pump 21 is provided with a corresponding water inlet check valve and a water outlet check valve, and the water outlet check valve is connected to the supply pipe 13 through a hose 22 .

[0063] In this embodiment, the second connecting rod 19 and the feeding assembly move in coordination with each other. When the second connecting rod 19 pulls out the piston column 20, the nutrient solution is introduced through the water inlet at the top under the change of the internal pressure of the plunger pump 21. The water inlet one-way valve is provided with a corresponding nutrient solution supply source, which is not shown in the figure. When the second connecting rod 19 pushes the piston column 20 toward the inside of the plunger pump 21, the piston column 20 is squeezed inside the plunger pump 21 through the sealing rubber ring 23, so that the internal nutrient solution will flow out through the outlet one-way valve, and the outflow will flow into the inside of the supply pipe 13 through the hose 22, and the outlet valve of the supply pipe 13 will also be opened accordingly, and the supply of nutrient solution for medicinal plants inside the vessel will be completed at this time.

[0064] The above embodiments are exemplary rather than restrictive, so without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention that can be implemented in other specific forms are all included in the present invention.
