Description

Technical Field

[0002] Hydroponics is the use of modern bioengineering technology, using physical, chemical and bioengineering methods to domesticate common plants and flowers. Because it is easy to carry and care for, inexpensive, clean, the leaves and flowers grow healthily, and it can achieve the effect of fish and flowers enjoying the view together, hydroponics is still in its infancy in my country. As it is widely loved by people, it will surely occupy an increasingly larger share in my country's flower market and is an important part of green technology.

[0003] In hydroponic technology, the nutrient solution is a key factor affecting the quality of plant hydroponics. To ensure uniform distribution of the nutrient solution, a main pipe and several branch pipes are typically spaced regularly throughout the hydroponic box, ensuring even distribution. However, since the nutrient solution is primarily delivered via a pump, a relatively large volume of liquid is transported. Furthermore, the Earth's rotation can cause the nutrient solution inside the box to rotate as well. This rotation generates centrifugal force that pushes the nutrient solution in all directions, creating vortices. This ultimately results in nutrient solution loss and makes it difficult to control the flow of the solution. To address these issues, the following solution is proposed. Utility Model Content
