Detailed implementation manners

[0026] The hydroponic machine 1 for vegetables and fruits of the present utility model (hereinafter referred to as hydroponic machine 1) uses commercially available tap water containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium nutrient solution to cultivate vegetables and fruits, which is a pure soilless cultivation, and can cultivate root vegetables and fruits such as cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, leafy vegetables, beans, watermelons, grapes, and Gong pears.

[0027] As Figures 1-6 shown, the hydroponic machine 1 includes a housing 11 and a multi-layer suspension bracket 7 arranged above the housing 11.

[0028] 1. The housing 11 is made of plastic material and is composed of an upper cover 2 and a base 3.

[0029] 1) Upper cover 2

[0030] The combined shape of the outer contour of the upper cover 2 and the top surface is replaced by a pet head liked by people (especially children), and such pets can be pandas, puppies, kittens, piglets, little bears or little frogs, etc. The upper cover 2 includes a top cover 21 and a side wall 22 of the upper cover.

[0031] A root and stem hole 23, a mounting hole 24 and an observation window hole 25 are provided on the top cover 21.

[0032] The root and stem hole 23 is used to insert the roots of vegetables and fruits into the water storage tank 4 arranged in the base 3. Preferably, the root and stem hole 23 is arranged in the central area of the top cover 21.

[0033] The mounting hole 24 is used to insert the support foot 71 of the suspension bracket 7 on the housing 11. Preferably, there are four mounting holes 24, which are respectively arranged on the periphery of the top cover 21. The distance between adjacent two mounting holes 24 is preferably equal. Each mounting hole 24 corresponds to a sleeve 41 arranged in the base 3. When the support foot 71 is inserted into the mounting hole 24, the lower end of the support foot 71 is placed in the corresponding sleeve 41. In this way, the suspension bracket 7 is stably erected on the hydroponic machine 1.

[0034] Observation window hole 25, firstly, for observing the water level in the water storage tank 4 and the growth condition of the roots of vegetables or fruits, and secondly, as a water filling port when manually adding water; a window cover 26 made of silica gel material is provided on this window hole to prevent natural light from directly shining on the roots placed in the water storage tank 4.

[0035] The shape of the window cover 26 depends on the pet head image adopted by the upper cover 2. For example, when a panda is adopted, the shape of the window cover 26 can be a bamboo joint shape protruding upwards; if a puppy is adopted, the shape of the window cover 26 can be a bone shape protruding upwards; a water injection window is provided on the window cover 26, and a curtain cover 27 is provided on the water injection window. When it is necessary to automatically inject water into the water storage tank 4, the curtain cover 27 is pulled outwards and then the water injection pipe is inserted. A long strip-shaped anti-detachment strip is provided on the inner side of the curtain cover 27. This anti-detachment strip can prevent the curtain cover 27 from falling off when opened and can automatically retract the curtain cover 27 and close the water injection window after the water injection pipe is pulled out to prevent dust and natural light from entering the water storage tank 4.

[0036] The side wall 22 of the upper cover is composed of two parts, namely an outer side wall 221 and an inner edge 222 (the inner edge 222 is also called a drip edge plate. Its function is that the water vapor in the water storage tank 4 will gather on the upper cover 2. The upper cover 2 is an arch shape, so the water vapor will condense into water droplets on the upper cover 2, and the water droplets will flow down along the upper cover 2, and this drip edge plate will prevent the water droplets from flowing outside the hydroponic machine 1 to avoid the loss of the liquid inside the hydroponic machine). The upper side edge of the inner edge 222 is integrally connected to the inner side of the outer side wall 221. A concave cavity that can be tightly buckled on the side wall 31 of the base is formed between the outer side wall 221 and the inner edge 222. That is, when the upper cover 2 is buckled on the base 3, the outer side wall 221 of the upper cover 2 is placed on the outside of the side wall 31 of the base, and the inner edge 222 is placed on the inside of the side wall 31 of the base. This structure can effectively prevent the water droplets formed by the water vapor in the water storage tank 4 from leaking outside the hydroponic machine 1 along the outer side wall 221 of the upper cover 2, that is, the formed water droplets will drip down along the inner edge 222 into the water storage tank 4.

[0037] The inner edge 222 can be a closed-loop structure extending along the peripheral direction of the upper cover 2 or an open-loop structure.

[0038] 2) Base 3

[0039] The base 3 has a concave chamber and the upper end face is open. It includes a base side wall 31 and a base bottom plate 32. A water storage tank 4, an electric control room 5 and a bottom chamber 6 are provided inside the base 3.

[0040] The water storage tank 4 occupies most of the concave chamber of the base 3. It is used for holding the nutrient water for the growth of vegetables and fruits (a mixed liquid of commercially supplied tap water and nutrient solution). A water level marking column 42 for visually observing the water level liquid surface in the tank and the sleeve 41 are provided in the water storage tank 4.

[0041] The electric control room 5 is arranged in the side area of the water storage tank 4, and is isolated from the water storage tank 4 by water seal. The electric control room 5 is enclosed by the room side walls. A control circuit board 51, an air pump 52 and a water level sensor 53 capable of detecting the water level height in the water storage tank 4 are arranged in the electric control room 5.

[0042] The room side walls of the electric control room 5 are of a closed type, and there is a certain gap between its outer side wall 221 and the base side wall 31, so that the water droplets formed on the inner edge 222 of the upper cover 2 can flow into the water storage tank 4.

[0043] The air outlet of the air pump 52 is connected to at least one aeration stone 43 arranged in the water storage tank 4 through an air pipe.

[0044] A bottom compartment 6 is arranged at a position inside and outside the electric control room 5 under the base bottom plate 32. A battery compartment for installing a power battery 61, an external power supply jack and a USB charging interface are arranged in the bottom compartment 6, and a compartment cover is arranged on the bottom compartment 6.

[0045] An indicator light capable of displaying the battery power and a warning light for a low water level in the water storage tank 4 are also arranged on the base 3.

[0046] 2. Control Circuit

[0047] As Figure 7 shown, the circuit carried on the control circuit board 51 includes an MCU, a boost circuit, a voltage stabilizing circuit, a power module, a battery charging management module and an electronic switch module. Among them, the electronic switch module controls the operation of the air pump 52 and the water flow into the water storage tank 4 through their respective electronic switches.

[0048] The opening and closing operation of the air pump 52 is executed according to the set time; when the water level detected by the water level sensor 53 is lower than the set range value, a signal is sent to the MCU, and the MCU controls the external water pump to work.

[0049] 3. Hanging Bracket 7

[0050] The hanging bracket 7 includes four support feet 71 and three layers of shelves 72. The shape of each layer of shelf 72 can be circular, oval or regular polygon, and the enclosed area of each layer of shelf 72 gradually decreases from top to bottom. The lower ends of the four support feet 71 are inserted into the sleeves 41 arranged in the base 3.
