Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of soilless cultivation, and particularly relates to a pocket soilless cultivation device for vegetables. Background Art

[0002] Hydroponics is a method of growing plants by providing a nutrient solution in water instead of soil, and this method can be used to grow various vegetables. With the decreasing of agricultural cultivated land and the development of hydroponics technology, it has become a trend for people to use the idle space in their homes to grow vegetables by using hydroponics technology.

[0003] The prior art has the following deficiencies: The traditional soilless cultivation device includes a floating bed system, which is a device that suspends the plant roots on the water surface and the roots directly contact the nutrient solution in the water. It is more suitable for growing large-leaf vegetables. Since most households do not have professional soilless cultivation equipment and a large space, and the floating beds of traditional floating bed type soilless cultivation devices are mostly arranged in groups, which occupy a large space and cannot flexibly adapt to the shapes of various household water basins and water tanks, resulting in low space utilization rate for home cultivation. And because the household floating bed type soilless cultivation device cannot completely fit the inner walls of household water basins and water tanks, there is a situation of swaying with the liquid level. Constant swaying easily causes the planted vegetables to lodge, greatly reducing the survival rate and yield of the vegetables.

[0004] Therefore, it is very necessary to invent a pocket soilless cultivation device for vegetables. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] For this reason, the utility model provides a pocket soilless cultivation device for vegetables, which adopts the combination of a hemispherical base and a floating ring, enabling it to be freely combined and suspended in household water basins and water tanks. The hemispherical base automatically fills the water surface gap in the water basin and water tank to solve the problem that the floating beds of traditional floating bed type soilless cultivation devices are mostly arranged in groups, occupying a large space and not being able to flexibly adapt to the shapes of various household water basins and water tanks, resulting in low space utilization rate for home cultivation. Then, through the magnetic strips on the outer edge of the floating ring, several hemispherical bases are adsorbed together to form a whole and float more stably on the water surface, cooperating with a transparent cover that can be flipped and clamp to support the vegetable seedlings, to solve the problem that because the household floating bed type soilless cultivation device cannot completely fit the inner walls of household water basins and water tanks, it is easy to sway with the liquid level, resulting in the lodging of the planted vegetables and greatly reducing the survival rate and yield of the vegetables.

[0009] Preferably, the transparent cover is a half hemispherical shell. Second rotating rings are fixedly installed at the sharp corners on both sides of the transparent cover. The second rotating rings are sleeved on the outer wall of the columnar protrusion of the rotating piece. Both transparent covers are rotatably installed between the inner wall of the floating ring and the outer wall of the base through the second rotating rings.

[0010] Preferably, a second magnetic strip is fixedly installed on the side where the two transparent covers are joined together when flipped to the top of the base. The second magnetic strips on the two transparent covers can attract each other to form a hemispherical cover on the top of the base.

[0011] Preferably, two semi-circular openings, one large and one small, are respectively provided at the two side edges of the transparent cover. When the two transparent covers are flipped to the top of the base, the small openings on the sides of the two transparent covers are joined together to form the opening through which the vegetable seedlings can pass through the hemispherical cover.

[0012] Preferably, a first magnetic strip is fixedly installed on the outer edge of the top surface of the floating ring. Nutrient solution is injected into the water basin. The floating ring can drive the base to float in the water basin.

[0023] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, a pocket soilless vegetable cultivation device in the first aspect of the present utility model includes a base 14 and a water basin 23. A round hole penetrating the base 14 is provided on the top surface of the base 14. A planting cup 16 is inserted and installed in the round hole on the top surface of the base 14. Vegetable seedlings 22 are planted in the planting cup 16. A floating ring 11 is arranged outside the base 14. A transparent cover 18 is rotatably installed between the inner wall of the floating ring 11 and the outer wall of the base 14. There are two pieces of the transparent cover 18. The transparent cover 18 can be flipped to the top of the base 14 to form a hemispherical cover. An opening through which the vegetable seedlings 22 can pass is provided at the top of the hemispherical cover. The two transparent covers 18 on both sides can be flipped to clamp and support the vegetable seedlings 22.

[0024] In the above embodiment, it should be noted that both the base 14 and the floating ring 11 are made of polyethylene foam material, which has a large buoyancy and can support the planting cup 16 and the vegetable seedlings 22 to float on the water surface. The combination of the hemispherical base 14 and the floating ring 11 enables them to be freely combined and suspended in the household water basin 23. The hemispherical base 14 automatically fills the water surface gap in the water basin 23 to achieve the effect of flexibly adapting to the shapes of various household water basins and water tanks, improving the space utilization rate of home planting. Then, through the magnetic strip on the outer edge of the floating ring 11, several hemispherical bases 14 are adsorbed together to form a whole, cooperating with the transparent cover 18 that can be flipped to clamp and support the vegetable seedlings, so as to achieve the effect of increasing the floating stability of the base 14 and avoiding the lodging of the planted vegetable seedlings 22, and improving the survival rate and yield of vegetables.

[0025] Embodiment 2

[0026] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, a pocket soilless vegetable cultivation device includes all the contents of Embodiment 1. In addition, rotating pieces 15 are fixedly installed at the upper ends of both sides of the outer wall of the base 14. A columnar protrusion is provided on the side of the rotating piece 15 away from the base 14. First rotating rings 13 are fixedly installed at the upper ends of both sides of the inner wall of the floating ring 11. The end of the rotating piece 15 with the columnar protrusion is inserted into the first rotating ring 13 and fixedly connected to the first rotating ring 13. The base 14 is fixedly installed inside the floating ring 11 through the rotating pieces 15 on both sides. The transparent cover 18 is in the shape of a half hemispherical shell. Second rotating rings 19 are fixedly installed at the sharp corners on both sides of the transparent cover 18. The second rotating rings 19 are sleeved on the outer wall of the columnar protrusion of the rotating piece 15. Both pieces of the transparent cover 18 are rotatably installed between the inner wall of the floating ring 11 and the outer wall of the base 14 through the second rotating rings 19.

[0027] In the above embodiment, it should be noted that the distance between the base 14 and the floating ring 11 is equal to the thickness of the transparent cover 18. The transparent cover 18 can be rotated and stored between the base 14 and the floating ring 11, and can also be flipped above the top surface of the base 14.

[0028] Example 3

[0029] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a pocket soilless vegetable cultivation device includes all the contents of Example 1. In addition, a second magnetic strip 20 is fixedly installed on one side where two pieces of the transparent cover 18 are spliced together when they are flipped to the top of the base 14. The second magnetic strips 20 on the two pieces of the transparent cover 18 can attract each other so that the two pieces of the transparent cover 18 are spliced into a hemispherical cover on the top of the base 14. Two semi-circular openings, one large and one small, are respectively arranged on both sides of the edge of the transparent cover 18. When the two pieces of the transparent cover 18 are flipped to the top of the base 14, the small openings on the sides of the two pieces of the transparent cover 18 are spliced to form an opening for the vegetable seedlings 22 to pass through the hemispherical cover.

[0030] In the above embodiment, it should be noted that the transparent cover 18 has the function of protecting the vegetable seedlings 22. When the vegetable seedlings 22 grow to a certain height, the transparent cover 18 is flipped so that the small openings on the sides of the transparent cover 18 are spliced and clamped the middle part of the vegetable seedlings 22, so as to achieve the effect of fixing and supporting the vegetable seedlings 22 to prevent the vegetable seedlings 22 from lodging. The semi-circular openings on both sides of the edge of the transparent cover 18 also have the function of increasing the ventilation effect.

[0031] Example 4

[0032] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, a pocket soilless vegetable cultivation device includes all the contents of Example 1. In addition, a first magnetic strip 12 is fixedly installed on the outer edge of the top surface of the floating ring 11. Nutrient solution is injected into the water basin 23. The floating ring 11 can drive the base 14 to float in the water basin 23. After several bases 14 are placed in the water basin 23, the first magnetic strips 12 on the floating rings 11 outside the several bases 14 can attract each other. Nutrient soil 21 is filled in the upper part of the inner wall of the planting cup 16. The vegetable seedlings 22 are planted in the nutrient soil 21. The lower part of the inner wall of the planting cup 16 is a vacant area. The lower end of the planting cup 16 extends out of the inner wall of the round hole of the base 14 and extends below the base 14. Several openings 17 are arranged at the lower end of the planting cup 16. The roots of the vegetable seedlings 22 pass downward through the vacant area at the lower part of the planting cup 16 and extend out of the planting cup 16 from the openings 17.

[0033] In the above embodiments, it should be noted that several floating rings 11 are attracted to each other by the first magnetic strip 12 on the floating ring 11, so as to achieve the effect of mutually adsorbing and connecting the base 14 and the floating ring 11 in the water basin 23. When the water basin 23 made of a metal material is used, the first magnetic strip 12 can also adsorb the inner wall of the water basin 23, further improving the stability of the base 14 floating on the nutrient solution surface. Only a small amount of nutrient soil 21 is filled in the upper part of the inner wall of the planting cup 16. The nutrient soil 21 has the function of fixing the seedlings of the vegetable seedlings 22 in the initial stage of cultivation. After the vegetable seedlings 22 grow and take root, the fixing effect of the nutrient soil 21 is not obvious. By planting the vegetable seedlings 22 in the nutrient soil 21 and placing the planting cup 16 in the circular hole on the top surface of the base 14, filling the water basin 23 with nutrient solution, and putting the base 14 and the floating ring 11 into the water basin 23, the vegetable seedlings 22 gradually take root, and the roots of the vegetable seedlings 22 extend into the nutrient solution to absorb nutrients, so as to achieve the effect of soilless cultivation of vegetables.

[0034] The use process of the present utility model is as follows: Those skilled in the art fill the water basin 23 with nutrient solution, plant the vegetable seedlings 22 in the nutrient soil 21, and place the planting cup 16 in the circular hole on the top surface of the base 14. Then, the base 14 and the floating ring 11 are put into the water basin 23. The vegetable seedlings 22 gradually take root, and the roots of the vegetable seedlings 22 extend into the nutrient solution to absorb nutrients. Several bases 14 are put into the water basin 23, and the first magnetic strip 12 on the floating ring 11 makes several floating rings 11 attract each other, so that the base 14 and the floating ring 11 in the water basin 23 are mutually adsorbed and connected, improving the stability of the base 14 floating on the nutrient solution surface. When the vegetable seedlings 22 grow to a certain height, the transparent cover 18 is flipped so that the small openings on the side of the transparent cover 18 are joined together and clamp the middle part of the vegetable seedlings 22 to fixedly support the vegetable seedlings 22 and prevent the vegetable seedlings 22 from lodging.

[0035] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art may modify the present utility model by using the technical solutions described above or modify it into an equivalent technical solution. Therefore, any simple modification or equivalent replacement made according to the technical solutions of the present utility model falls within the scope of protection required by the present utility model.
