Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cultivation devices, in particular to a hydroponic planting basket and a floating hydroponic device. Background Art

[0002] Hydroponics, also known as soilless cultivation, is a technique for growing plants using a nutrient solution instead of soil. It has become an integral part of modern agriculture, particularly in urban agriculture, home gardening, and scientific research.

[0003] Most hydroponic growing systems utilize a fixed planting system, where plants are fixed in planting troughs or containers and cannot be easily moved. This requires a large amount of space, which hinders full utilization. It also makes plant management and maintenance difficult. Furthermore, fixed planting systems cannot meet the diverse growing environment requirements of different plants.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, attempts have been made in the prior art to use a floating hydroponic system, that is, plants are planted in planting baskets floating on the water surface, which can be moved freely and are easy to manage and maintain.

[0005] Most existing floating hydroponic systems simply place traditional planting baskets in mounting holes. This lacks effective securing mechanisms, making them susceptible to dislodging due to water flow and swaying, impacting plant growth. Existing technologies secure the planting baskets to floating objects using fasteners such as rolled strips and wire, resulting in a cumbersome installation process.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing hydroponic planting basket to overcome the defects of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0007] In order to overcome the problems existing in the related art, one of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a hydroponic planting basket to solve the problem of complicated installation process existing in the prior art.

[0008] A hydroponic planting basket, comprising:

[0009] The planting basket body has a basin edge on the top and a clamping piece on the bottom edge. The clamping piece and the basin edge form a clamping area, and the clamping area is used to clamp and fix in a predetermined installation position.

[0010] By providing a clip on the bottom edge of the planting basket body to secure it in the designated installation position, this effectively solves the problem of traditional planting baskets easily falling off and being cumbersome to install in hydroponic environments. The clip connects the planting basket to the floating plate, eliminating the need for additional fasteners, simplifying the installation process and improving installation efficiency. Furthermore, the clip structure firmly secures the planting basket, preventing it from falling due to currents and shaking, improving its stability and safety, and ensuring normal plant growth.

[0011] Preferably, the clamping piece extends upward along the bottom edge of the planting basket body to the waist of the planting basket body.

[0012] The clip extends upward along the bottom edge of the planting basket body to the waist, shortening the distance between the clip and the edge of the pot. At the same time, the clip can form physical protection for the internal cultivated objects, enhance the fixing effect of the clip, effectively improve the stability of the planting basket, and ensure that the plants can grow healthily in a stable environment.

[0013] Preferably, the planting basket body is cylindrical, and the bottom radius of the planting basket is smaller than the top radius.

[0014] The cylindrical design allows the planting basket body to be more evenly distributed in all directions when it is impacted by water flow. At the same time, combined with the design that the bottom radius is smaller than the top radius, the planting basket can automatically return to its original position during installation, reducing the difficulty of aligning the planting basket with the installation hole and improving the installation efficiency of the planting basket.

[0015] Preferably, the planting basket body and the clamping piece are integrally formed and are both made of elastic material.

[0016] The integrated molding of the planting basket body and the clips simplifies the production process, improves production efficiency, and reduces production costs. The use of elastic material allows the planting basket body and the clips to bend and deform. This allows the clips to deform under force during insertion into the intended installation position, achieving automatic snap-in fixation. This significantly improves the installation efficiency of the planting basket and also enhances its impact resistance. When subjected to external forces, the basket elastically deforms to absorb them, increasing its durability.

[0017] Preferably, the clamping piece is elastically connected to the planting basket body.

[0018] The elastic connection between the clamping piece and the planting basket body allows the planting basket to be easily installed and disassembled without the use of additional tools, thereby improving the reusability of the planting basket.

[0019] Preferably, there are at least two clips, and the clips are evenly distributed along the bottom edge of the planting basket body.

[0020] Multiple clips can disperse the stress points of the planting basket, enhancing its impact resistance and stability. Even in an environment with large water flow and shaking, the planting basket can remain stable, prevent it from falling off, and ensure the safe growth of plants.

[0021] Preferably, the clamping piece extends from the bottom of the planting basket body to the waist of the planting basket body and then bends outwards by 15 degrees.

[0022] The outward bending design of the clip increases the contact area between the clip and the floating plate, enhances the fixing force, makes the planting basket more firmly fixed on the floating plate, is not easy to fall off, and improves the stability and reliability of the device.

[0023] The second purpose of the present utility model is to provide a floating hydroponic device, which includes a hydroponic floating board, and the hydroponic floating board includes a floating board body. A plurality of planting basket mounting holes are opened on the floating board body, and the planting basket mounting holes gradually shrink inward along the thickness direction of the floating board body.

[0024] The mounting hole's tapering design enhances the basket's securement, preventing it from falling out due to water flow and shaking, and improving the device's stability and safety. It can also accommodate baskets of varying shapes and sizes to meet diverse planting needs.

[0025] Preferably, it further includes a hydroponic floating board planting basket as described above, wherein a clamping ring is provided in the mounting hole of the planting basket, a limiting area is formed between the clamping ring and the upper surface of the floating board body, and the limiting area is provided between the basin edge and the clamping member.

[0026] The snap ring can effectively prevent the planting basket from sliding or moving on the floating plate, thereby improving the stability of the device and avoiding changes in the plant growth environment caused by the movement of the planting basket, which may affect the normal growth of the plants.

[0027] Preferably, a water guide groove is further provided on the upper surface of the floating board body, and the water guide groove is connected to the planting basket installation hole along the edge of the floating board body.

[0028] Since the floating board body floats on the water surface, it is difficult for the surrounding water to flow in from the upper surface of the floating board body. The water flow can be guided by the water guide groove to flow in from the upper surface of the floating board body and into the planting medium of each planting basket, so that the plants can absorb sufficient water and nutrients, promote the growth and development of the plants, and improve the planting efficiency.

[0029] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0030] The utility model provides a hydroponic planting basket, which includes a planting basket body, and a clamping piece is provided on the bottom edge of the planting basket body for clamping and fixing it in a predetermined installation position. The hydroponic planting basket overcomes the problems of the existing technology such as the planting basket being not firmly fixed and inconvenient to install, and provides a more stable fixing method in hydroponic planting. At the same time, it simplifies the installation process and improves efficiency and versatility. The design of the clamping piece makes installation simple and quick. It only needs to be clamped into the predetermined position, saving time and labor costs. At the same time, it can also provide reliable fixation, prevent the planting basket from falling off in water flow and shaking, improve the stability and safety of planting, and ensure the normal growth of plants.

[0042] The following describes preferred embodiments of the present invention in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the present invention more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a hydroponic planting basket, which includes:

[0045] The planting basket body 100 has a basin edge 110 on the top and a clip 120 on the bottom edge. The clip 120 and the basin edge 110 form a clipping area for clipping and fixing at a predetermined installation position.

[0046] It should be noted that the basin edge 110 refers to the portion of the top edge of the planting basket body 100 that protrudes outward.

[0047] Furthermore, the clamping piece 120 extends upward along the bottom edge of the planting basket body 100 to the waist of the planting basket body 100 .

[0048] The planting basket body 100 is cylindrical, with the bottom radius of the planting basket being smaller than the top radius. The planting basket body 100 can have any shape, such as cylindrical, truncated cone, square, polygonal, or irregular. Its thickness can be arbitrarily set according to actual requirements.

[0049] The planting basket body 100 and the clamping member 120 are integrally formed and are both made of elastic material.

[0050] There are at least two clips 120 , and the clips 120 are evenly distributed along the bottom edge of the planting basket body 100 .

[0051] The clamping piece 120 extends from the bottom of the planting basket body 100 to the waist of the planting basket body 100 and then bends outwards by 15 degrees.

[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, the overall height of the planting basket body 100 is 60 mm, the inner diameter of the top surface of the planting basket body 100 is 59.50 mm, the basin edge 110 extends outward along the top edge of the planting basket body 100 and then bends downward. The outer diameter of the basin edge 110 is 80 mm, and the height of the bent basin edge 110 is 8 mm.

[0053] More specifically, a water inlet is provided on the rim 110, which is opened upward along the bottom of the rim 110. Looking from the side of the planting basket body 100 facing the water inlet, the shape of the water inlet is an arc with a radius of 55 mm, and the distance between the top of the arc and the bottom edge of the rim 110 is 4.5 mm.

[0054] More specifically, the angle between the outer walls of the cylindrical planting basket body 100 is 10 degrees when viewed from the side. In other words, the angle between the line connecting the bottom outer diameter and the top outer diameter of the planting basket body 100 and the height direction is 5 degrees.

[0055] More specifically, the number of the clips 120 can be arbitrary, as long as at least two clips 120 can form a stable fixed structure. Of course, the clips 120 can be evenly or unevenly arranged. The advantage of evenly arranging is that each clip 120 can withstand the same force, while uneven clips 120 can provide a better space design. In this embodiment, there are four clips 120, and the four clips 120 are evenly distributed along the bottom edge of the planting basket body 100. That is, a clip 120 is provided every 90 degrees on the bottom circumference of the planting basket body 100.

[0056] More specifically, the bottom edge of the planting basket body 100 extends upward by 4 mm as a whole to improve the strength of the planting basket body 100. The top of the clamping member 120 is 21 mm away from the bottom edge of the basin edge 110, that is, the height of the clamping area is 21 mm.

[0057] It should be noted that the waist of the planting basket body 100 refers to the position approximately halfway up the planting basket. The waist of the planting basket body 100 is a range, not half the height of the planting basket body 100. The 15-degree outward bending of the clip 120 means that when the clip 120 is a certain distance from the top, it bends outward to form an outwardly extending inclined surface. The inclined surface forms an angle of 15 degrees with the extended surface of the clip 120. When the planting basket body 100 is installed, the clip 120 receives inward pressure and deforms, thereby achieving automatic locking of the clip 120.

[0058] The wall thickness of the planting basket body 100 is 0.8 mm, and the wall thickness of the clamping member 120 is the same as that of the planting basket body 100 , which is also 0.8 mm.

[0059] More specifically, the sides and bottom of the planting basket body 100 in this embodiment are hollowed out. The planting basket can be made of any elastic material, such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), ABS, etc. In this embodiment, the planting basket body 100 and the clamping member 120 are made of an integrally molded PP material.

[0060] In this embodiment, four clips 120 are evenly arranged on the bottom edge of the planting basket body 100, and the clips 120 are extended upward to the waist of the planting basket body 100 and bent outward 15 degrees to form a stable structure that can be firmly fixed on the floating board. The bending of the clips 120 allows the clips 120 to deform and automatically lock when subjected to inward pressure during the installation process, effectively preventing the planting basket from falling off in the water flow or shaking, thereby improving the stability of the hydroponic system. The cylindrical planting basket body 100 and the design of the bottom radius being smaller than the top radius enable the planting basket body 100 to be automatically aligned during installation, thereby improving installation efficiency. The one-piece design of the planting basket body 100 and the clips 120 simplifies the production process and reduces production costs. The use of elastic materials facilitates installation and disassembly, as well as transportation and storage.

[0061] Example 2

[0062] As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a hydroponic planting basket, which includes:

[0063] The planting basket body 100 has a basin edge 110 on the top and a clip 120 on the bottom edge. The clip 120 and the basin edge 110 form a clipping area for clipping and fixing at a predetermined installation position.

[0064] The clip 120 extends upward along the bottom edge of the planting basket body 100 to the waist of the planting basket body 100 .

[0065] Specifically, the planting basket body 100 is in a square cylindrical shape, and the bottom surface of the planting basket body 100 is smaller than the top surface.

[0066] More specifically, the cross section of the planting basket body 100 is a square, the diameter of the circumscribed circle of the top surface of the planting basket body 100 is 59.50 mm, and the diameter of the circumscribed circle of the bottom surface is 49.2 mm.

[0067] Furthermore, the clip 120 is elastically connected to the planting basket body 100. The planting basket body 100 and the clip 120 are elastically connected. The planting basket body 100 and the clip 120 can be made of any material, which can be a material with a certain elasticity or a rigid material, such as plastic, metal, ceramic, resin or composite material. The material of the planting basket body 100 and the material of the clip 120 can be the same or different. The clip 120 and the planting basket body 100 can be bonded together by elastic materials, such as hot melt adhesive, silicone, TPE and other materials. They can also be connected by elastic structures, such as elastic snap structures, elastic hinge structures, elastic rope structures, and spring rotation structures.

[0068] There are at least two clips 120 , and the clips 120 are evenly distributed along the bottom edge of the planting basket body 100 .

[0069] Specifically, there are two clamping members 120. The two clamping members 120 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0070] More specifically, two clips 120 are provided on two opposite surfaces of the planting basket body 100 . The clips 120 extend from the planting basket body 100 to the waist of the planting basket body 100 and then bend outwards by 30 degrees.

[0071] In this embodiment, the elastic connection between the clip 120 and the planting basket body 100 allows the planting basket to adapt to mounting holes of varying sizes and shapes, enhancing its versatility. This elastic connection also cushions external impacts, protecting the planting basket body 100 and extending its service life. The square cylindrical design of the planting basket body 100 maximizes space utilization and is particularly suitable for rectangularly arranged floating slabs, maximizing planting density.

[0072] Example 3

[0073] As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a floating hydroponic device, which includes a hydroponic floating board 200, and the hydroponic floating board 200 includes a floating board body 210. A plurality of planting basket mounting holes 211 are opened on the floating board body 210, and the planting basket mounting holes 211 gradually shrink inward along the thickness direction of the floating board body 210.

[0074] Specifically, the shape of the floating board body 210 can be any, such as rectangular, circular, heart-shaped, polygonal, triangular, etc. In this embodiment, the floating board body 210 is 1500 mm long, 750 mm wide, and 40 mm thick.

[0075] Specifically, the planting basket mounting holes 211 are evenly distributed on the floating plate body 210, and may be arranged in a rectangular pattern. A rectangular pattern of the planting basket mounting holes 211 facilitates installation. Alternatively, the planting basket mounting holes 211 may be staggered and equidistantly distributed. Staggered and equidistant planting basket mounting holes 211 ensure that planting baskets installed within the planting basket mounting holes 211 are at equal distances from adjacent planting baskets, thereby ensuring that crops planted within the planting baskets maintain the same distance from adjacent crops, thereby ensuring consistent hydroponic crop cultivation results.

[0076] In this embodiment, the planting basket mounting holes 211 are arranged in a rectangular pattern, with eight rows arranged along the width, each row containing 17 planting basket mounting holes 211. The maximum diameter of the mounting holes is 59.52 mm. The distance between the planting basket mounting holes 211 near the long edges and the long edges is 68.75 mm, while the distance between the planting basket mounting holes 211 near the broadside edges and the broadside edges is 70 mm. The center-to-center distance between adjacent planting basket mounting holes 211 is 85 mm. The edges of the floating plate body 210 are arc-shaped.

[0077] It also includes a planting basket of the hydroponic floating board 200 as described in Example 1, and a snap ring 212 is provided in the planting basket mounting hole 211, and a limiting area is formed between the snap ring 212 and the upper surface of the floating board body 210, and the limiting area is provided between the basin edge 110 and the snap-fit component 120.

[0078] The snap ring 212 is arranged at the center thickness position of the planting basket mounting hole 211. In this embodiment, the thickness of the snap ring 212 is 1 mm. Therefore, the height of the limiting area formed between the snap ring 212 and the upper surface of the floating plate body 210 is 20.5 mm. In the planting basket in Example 1, the top of the snap member 120 is 21 mm away from the bottom edge of the basin edge 110, forming a snap area with a height of 21 mm, which can be snapped into the limiting area.

[0079] A water guide groove 213 is further provided on the upper surface of the floating plate body 210 . The water guide groove 213 is connected to the planting basket mounting hole 211 along the edge of the floating plate body 210 .

[0080] Specifically, in this embodiment, there are 16 water guide grooves 213, and the planting basket mounting holes 211 located at the corners are connected to the water guide grooves 213. There are 4 water guide grooves 213 on each side, and the water guide grooves 213 are evenly distributed along the side length according to the number of mounting holes.

[0081] More specifically, an air hole is provided at the center of one long side of the floating board body 210, and the air hole is used to fill the floating board with gas. The floating board body 210 can be made of any material, such as plastic, resin, nylon and other materials. In this embodiment, the floating board body 210 is made of PE material, and the wall thickness of the floating board is 1.6 mm.

[0082] When installing the planting basket of the hydroponic floating board 200 in the floating hydroponic device of this embodiment, the bottom of the planting basket body 100 is aligned with the planting basket mounting hole 211, and then the planting basket body 100 is inserted into the planting basket mounting hole 211. When resistance is felt, the inclined surface of the bend of the clamping part 120 contacts the clamping ring 212, causing the clamping part 120 to elastically deform along the inclined path and shrink inward. When the clamping part 120 completely passes through the clamping ring 212, the planting basket of the hydroponic floating board 200 is self-locked and fixed.

[0083] In this embodiment, the conical planting basket mounting hole 211 on the floating plate body 210 is used in conjunction with the clip 120 in Example 1 to achieve easy installation and firm fixation of the planting basket. The design of the mounting hole gradually shrinking inward enhances the grip of the planting basket, and can ensure the stability of the planting basket even in an environment with large water flow. The water guide 213 provided on the floating plate body 210 can guide the water flow through the planting basket, ensuring that the planting basket can obtain sufficient nutrients and water, thereby improving the hydroponic effect. The design of the water guide 213 is also conducive to the flow of water, and the modular design of the floating plate and the planting basket makes the hydroponic device easy to assemble, disassemble and maintain. When the planting basket needs to be replaced or cleaned, it is only necessary to remove the planting basket from the mounting hole without moving the entire floating plate, which facilitates management and maintenance.
