DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0015] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0016] Embodiment: As Figures 1-3 shown, the present invention provides a spiral bionic columnar hydroponic structure, including a liquid accumulation tank 1. One end of the liquid accumulation tank 1 is fixedly connected with a return pipe 10. The top end of the liquid accumulation tank 1 is rotatably connected with a vertical pipe 11. The bottom end of the vertical pipe 11 is connected to the inside of the liquid accumulation tank 1 in a penetrating manner. The top end of the vertical pipe 11 is fixedly connected with a rotating device 2. The outer surface of the upper part of the vertical pipe 11 is connected with a water pipe 3 in a penetrating manner. One end of the water pipe 3 is fixedly connected with a flow control mechanism 4. The outer surface of the vertical pipe 11 is fixedly connected with a culture pipe 12. A plurality of card slots 13 are formed on the outer surface of the culture pipe 12. A plurality of supporting baskets 14 are fixedly clamped on the outer surfaces of the plurality of card slots 13. The rotating device 2 includes a transmission disc 21. Four guiding grooves 20 are formed on the outer surface of the transmission disc 21. The top end of the transmission disc 21 is rotatably connected with a first gear 22. The bottom end of the transmission disc 21 is fixedly connected with a fixing plate 23. One side of the bottom end of the fixing plate 23 is rotatably connected with a second gear 24. The outer surface of the first gear 22 is meshed with the outer surface of the second gear 24. The bottom end of the second gear 24 is fixedly connected with an extension plate 25. One side of the bottom end of the extension plate 25 is fixedly connected with a sliding pin 26. Four limiting plates 27 are fixedly arranged at the top end of the transmission disc 21. The top end of the fixing plate 23 is fixedly connected with a first motor 28. The output end of the first motor 28 penetrates through the fixing plate 23 and is fixedly connected with one end of the first gear 22. Under the output of the first motor 28, the extension plate 25 is driven to perform a rotational motion with a certain radius through the connection and transmission of the first gear 22 and the second gear 24. The rotating extension plate 25 slides through the sliding pin 26 and the four guiding grooves 20, and drives the transmission disc 21 to rotate a certain distance under the action of rotation. The intermittent rotational motion of the transmission disc 21 is realized through the continuous rotation of the extension plate 25 and the sliding pin 26.

[0017] The flow control mechanism 4 includes a housing 40. One end inner wall of the housing 40 is rotatably connected with a third gear 41 and a fourth gear 42. One end of the third gear 41 is slidably sleeved with a transmission component 45. One end of the transmission component 45 is fixedly connected with a valve rod 44. One end of the valve rod 44 penetrates through the water pipe 3. One end of the fourth gear 42 is fixedly connected with a lead screw 43. The outer surface of the lead screw 43 is threadedly sleeved with the inner wall of the top end of the transmission component 45. One end of the housing 40 is fixedly installed with a second motor 46. One end of the second motor 46 penetrates through the third gear 41 and is fixedly connected with one end of the third gear 41. Through the output of the second motor 46, the lead screw 43 is driven to rotate under the transmission of the third gear 41 and the fourth gear 42, thereby causing the transmission component 45 sleeved on the outer surface of the lead screw 43 to move linearly back and forth, resulting in the valve rod 44 at one end of the transmission component 45 continuously penetrating into one end of the water pipe 3. One end of the valve rod 44 is conical, so that one end of the valve rod 44 cooperates with the flow groove on the inner wall of one end of the water pipe 3 to limit the caliber of the flow groove, thereby realizing the control of the flow rate in the water pipe 3.

[0018] The size of the first gear 22 is larger than that of the second gear 24. The four guide grooves 20 are distributed in an annular array, and the outer surface of the sliding pin 26 is slidably fitted with the outer surface of each sliding pin 26. The four limiting plates 27 are arc-shaped, and the four limiting plates 27 are distributed in an annular array. The culture tube 12 is in a vertical spiral shape, and the outer surface of the culture tube 12 is connected to the outer surface of the riser pipe 11 in a through manner. The larger-sized first gear 22 provides a larger torque for driving the rotation of the second gear 24 and provides a reasonable driving force for the transmission of the extension plate 25. The four guide grooves 20 distributed in an annular array provide four sliding tracks for the sliding pin 26, thereby driving the transmission disc 21 to rotate under the limitation of the four guide grooves 20. The four arc-shaped limiting plates 27 are to ensure that the extension plate 25 will not shift during the rotation process, playing a role in stably limiting the extension plate 25. The vertically spiral-shaped culture tube 12 saves the space for plant cultivation, enabling the plants to be distributed in a vertical spiral.

[0019] One end inner wall of the water pipe 3 is fixedly clamped with a flow limiting disc. The outer surface of the flow limiting disc is provided with a flow groove for cooperating with the valve rod 44. One end of the valve rod 44 is conical, and one end of the valve rod 44 is used in cooperation with the flow groove. The water flow flows through the flow groove in the flow limiting disc to the riser pipe 11. Under the movement of the conical end of the valve rod 44, the flow diameter of the flow groove is restricted and adjusted, thereby providing the feasibility for realizing the flow rate adjustment.

[0020] Working principle: When it is necessary to cultivate plants, place the plants in multiple trays 14, so that the plants in the multiple trays 14 are spirally distributed on the outer surface of the culture tube 12. The operator flows the culture solution into the riser 11 through the water pipe 3. The culture solution flows from the riser 11 to the culture tube 12, and finally flows into the liquid accumulation tank 1 through the riser 11 and is discharged and recycled from the return pipe 10. The operator starts the second motor 46, and the output end of the second motor 46 drives the third gear 41 to rotate. The rotating third gear 41 drives the fourth gear 42 to rotate, thereby causing the lead screw 43 fixedly connected to one end of the fourth gear 42 to rotate. The rotating lead screw 43 drives the transmission assembly 45 and the valve stem 44 to perform horizontal linear forward and backward movements. The conical end of the valve stem 44 continuously inserts between the flow grooves in the flow limiting plate of the water pipe 3 through movement. As the valve stem 44 continuously penetrates, one end of the valve stem 44 continuously blocks the flow grooves. When the valve stem 44 retracts, the gap between the flow groove and one end of the valve stem 44 gradually becomes larger, thereby realizing the flow control in the water pipe 3 and achieving the purpose of regulating the flow rate;

[0021] When it is necessary to rotate the riser 11, start the first motor 28 in the rotating device 2. The output end of the first motor 28 drives the first gear 22 to rotate. The rotating first gear 22 drives the second gear 24 to rotate. The rotating second gear 24 drives the extension plate 25 to perform a rotating motion. During the rotation process, the extension plate 25 slides along the outer surface of one of the guide grooves 20 every time it rotates a quarter of the transmission disc 21 through the sliding pin 26 at the bottom. The rotating force drives the transmission disc 21 to perform a quarter of a horizontal rotating motion through the sliding pin 26. As the extension plate 25 continuously rotates, the transmission disc 21 performs an intermittent rotating motion. The function of the four limit plates 27 is to ensure that the rotation position of the extension plate 25 does not shift. The intermittently rotating transmission disc 21 drives the riser 11 to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of intermittently rotating the riser 11.

Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present utility model fall within the scope of the claims of the present utility model and their equivalent technologies, the present utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
