Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of planting equipment, and more specifically, to a cultivation rack. Background Art

[0002] In some planting spaces with limited areas, multi-layered culture racks are used for planting, and plants are planted separately on each layer to improve land utilization. In order to ensure the good growth of the plants, nutrients need to be supplemented for the plants during the planting process. If it is a hydroponic plant, various nutrients can be added directly to the water body, and then mixed evenly in the water body and supplied to each plant. However, if the plant is planted in soil, nutrients need to be supplemented separately in the soil of each plant, and there is a problem of uneven nutrient supplementation. Especially for multi-layer cultivation racks, their multi-layer structure makes the operating space small when fertilizing, which is more likely to cause the problem of uneven nutrient supplementation for each plant. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to overcome the problem of uneven nutrient supplementation for plants by multi-layer soil cultivation racks in the prior art, and provides a cultivation rack capable of fully and evenly supplying nutrients to each plant.

[0005] In the utility model, plants are grown on the multi-layered cultivation panels of the main frame, increasing land utilization. The nutrient supply device replenishes nutrients to each cultivation trough, promoting plant growth. Because the pipeline has corresponding supply holes in each cultivation trough, nutrients can be evenly and effectively supplied to all plants simultaneously, improving work efficiency.

[0006] Furthermore, each of the pipelines is respectively arranged inside the cultivation plate, and each of the supply holes is respectively communicated with the corresponding cultivation trough, and a filter is connected to the opening of the supply hole.

[0007] Furthermore, each of the pipelines is respectively arranged above the cultivation plate, and each of the supply holes corresponds to each of the cultivation grooves below.

[0008] Furthermore, the pipeline includes a main liquid pipe and multiple branch liquid pipes, each of which is connected to the main liquid pipe, which is connected to the outlet of the nutrient supply device, and the supply holes are formed in the branch liquid pipes. In this embodiment, the connection between the main liquid pipe and the multiple branch liquid pipes facilitates assembly and layout.

[0009] Furthermore, the cultivation rack further includes a plurality of pipe mounting members connected to the main frame. The pipe mounting members are provided with an inlet end and a plurality of outlet ends. The inlet end is connected to the main liquid pipe, and each outlet end is connected to each branch liquid pipe. In this embodiment, the pipe mounting members facilitate connection of the pipes to the main frame and connection of the main liquid pipe to the branch liquid pipes.

[0010] Furthermore, a receiving groove is provided inside the cultivation plate, the receiving groove being located at the bottom of the cultivation groove and communicating with the bottom of each cultivation groove. The branch liquid pipe is installed in the receiving groove, and the supply hole opens toward the cultivation groove. In this solution, the receiving groove can be used to accommodate the branch liquid pipe, making the overall structure compact.

[0011] Furthermore, each cultivation trough is arranged in an array on the cultivation board, and the cultivation troughs in the same row are connected to the same branch pipe.

In this solution, the gas-liquid mixing pump can mix the nutrient solution and air in the nutrient solution container and pump it out, and can provide a certain amount of air to the roots of the plant while providing the nutrient solution, so as to prevent the roots of the plant from rotting. At the same time, the gas blows toward the plant from the gaps in the soil, which can take away some heat when the soil temperature is too high, thereby playing a cooling role.

[0013] Furthermore, the cultivation rack further comprises a plurality of fill-in lights, each of which is connected to the main frame and is arranged above each of the cultivation plates. In this solution, the fill-in lights can effectively increase the illumination time and illumination rate of the plants, thereby promoting plant growth.

[0027] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0028] Example 1

[0029] refer to Figures 1 to 5 The first embodiment of the present utility model discloses a cultivation rack, including a main frame 1 and a nutrient supply device 2. The main frame 1 is provided with a multi-layer cultivation board 3, each cultivation board 3 is respectively provided with a plurality of cultivation troughs 31 for planting plants, and a pipeline is connected between the nutrient supply device 2 and each cultivation trough 31. The pipeline is provided with a plurality of supply holes 51, and each supply hole 51 is respectively connected to each cultivation trough 31.

[0030] The cultivation rack of this embodiment utilizes the multi-layered cultivation panels 3 of the main frame 1 for growing plants, thereby increasing land utilization. The nutrient supply device 2 replenishes nutrients to each cultivation trough 31, promoting plant growth. Because the pipeline has corresponding supply holes 51 in each cultivation trough 31, nutrients can be evenly and effectively supplied to all plants simultaneously, improving work efficiency.

[0031] Specifically, each pipeline is respectively arranged inside the cultivation plate 3, and each supply hole 51 is respectively connected to the corresponding cultivation trough 31, and a filter is connected to the opening of the supply hole 51. The filter can prevent the pipeline from being blocked and affect the transportation of the nutrient solution. More specifically, the main frame 1 can be a rectangular frame structure connected by profiles, and each layer is fixedly connected to the cultivation plate 3. The main frame 1 includes a top plate and connecting columns detachably mounted on the four corners of the top plate, and the connecting columns are used to support the overall structure. The cultivation plate 3 can be directly connected to the connecting columns, or first fixed to the connecting columns using an intermediate connecting plate, and then the cultivation plate 3 is installed on the connecting plate. The connection method can be a threaded detachable connection.

[0032] Optionally, the spacing between two adjacent layers of cultivation plates 3 is equal, and each cultivation plate 3 is evenly distributed in the main frame 1 in the vertical direction to improve space utilization. In other embodiments, the installation height distance between each cultivation plate 3 can also be adjusted according to the adaptability of the type of plant. In this embodiment, a plurality of cultivation grooves 31 are provided in the cultivation plate 3, and the cultivation grooves 31 can be filled with soil for planting plants. Since the nutrients in the soil itself are limited, it is necessary to further supplement the nutrients in the soil during the planting process. Too much or too little nutrients in the soil may affect the growth of the plant, so it is necessary to ensure that the nutrients are supplemented evenly. The nutrient supply device 2 is a device for providing nutrients, such as providing nutrient solution, and is connected to each cultivation groove 31 through a pipeline. Each cultivation groove 31 is respectively provided with a supply hole 51. For example, the nutrient solution can be provided to each cultivation groove 31 through the supply hole 51, so as to achieve the purpose of uniform nutrient supply and ensure that the plant grows well.

[0033] refer to Figures 3 to 5 In this embodiment, the pipeline includes a main liquid pipe 4 and a plurality of branch liquid pipes 5, each branch liquid pipe 5 is respectively connected to the main liquid pipe 4, and the main liquid pipe 4 is connected to the outlet of the nutrient supply device 2, and the supply hole 51 is provided on the branch liquid pipe 5. Specifically, the nutrient supply device 2 can be placed on the ground to facilitate the replenishment of, for example, nutrient solution therein. The main liquid pipe 4 is connected to the outlet of the nutrient supply device 2 and continues to extend in a roughly vertical direction to the cultivation plate 3 on the uppermost layer of the main frame 1. Every time the main liquid pipe 4 passes through a layer of cultivation plate 3, a branch liquid pipe 5 extending roughly horizontally is extended, and each branch liquid pipe 5 is evenly distributed in the cultivation plate. For example, a pump body is provided in the nutrient supply device to pump the nutrient solution therein through the main liquid pipe 4 and each branch liquid pipe 5 to the cultivation trough 31 of each cultivation plate 3.

[0034] In this embodiment, the cultivation rack further includes a plurality of pipe mounting members 6, which are connected to the main frame 1. The pipe mounting members 6 have an inlet end and multiple outlet ends. The inlet end is connected to the main liquid pipe 4, and each outlet end is connected to each branch liquid pipe 5. Specifically, the pipe mounting member 6 is a component used to connect and install pipelines. It extends roughly parallel to one side of the cultivation plate 3, and the extension path covers all cultivation grooves 31 on one side of the cultivation plate 3 to facilitate the arrangement of the branch liquid pipes 5. The pipe mounting member 6 has a first channel and a second channel that are connected, wherein the first channel extends vertically for connecting to the main liquid pipe 4. The second channel extends horizontally and has multiple connection ports for connecting to the branch liquid pipes 5.

[0035] refer to Figure 5 In this embodiment, a receiving groove 32 is provided inside the cultivation plate 3. The receiving groove 32 is located at the bottom of the cultivation groove 31 and is connected to the bottom of each cultivation groove 31. The branch liquid pipe 5 is installed in the receiving groove 32 and the supply hole 51 opens toward the cultivation groove 31. Specifically, the receiving groove 32 is a trough body for placing the branch liquid pipe 5. The space of the receiving groove 32 can be larger than the volume of the branch liquid pipe 5, so that the receiving groove 32 can be further filled with soil and fully connected with the bottom of the cultivation groove 31. The receiving groove 32 can be a plurality of strip-shaped trough bodies arranged inside the cultivation plate 3, or it can be a whole rectangular trough body that can be respectively connected to each cultivation groove 31 of the entire cultivation plate 3. The supply hole 51 provided in the branch liquid pipe 5 opens upward toward the bottom of the cultivation groove 31 and is used to provide, for example, nutrient solution.

[0036] refer to Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment, the cultivation troughs 31 are arranged in an array on the cultivation plate 3. The cultivation troughs 31 in the same row are connected to the same branch pipe 5. Specifically, the branch pipe 5 is long enough to cover all the cultivation troughs 31 in a row, so each row only requires one branch pipe 5. The array of cultivation troughs 31 on the cultivation plate 3 ensures a compact structure, improves space utilization, and facilitates the installation of corresponding branch pipes 5.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7The second embodiment of the present invention is similar to the first embodiment, except that each pipeline is respectively arranged above the cultivation plate 3, and each supply hole 51 corresponds to each cultivation trough below. Specifically, in this embodiment, the pipeline is arranged above each cultivation plate 3, and the nutrient solution in the pipeline drips from the upper pipeline into the cultivation trough of each cultivation plate 3, forming a supply form similar to drip irrigation. In this way, there is no need to set a filter at the opening of each supply hole 51. It can be understood that the pipeline in this embodiment is arranged obliquely above each cultivation trough 31, so it will not affect the growth of the plants. The hydraulic pressure of the nutrient solution supply can be adjusted so that the nutrient solution can just drip into each cultivation trough 31.

[0039] Example 3

[0040] refer to Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment is similar to embodiment 1 or embodiment 2, except that in this embodiment, the nutrient supply device 2 includes a shell 21, a gas-liquid mixing pump and a nutrient solution container (not shown in the figure), and the gas-liquid mixing pump and the nutrient solution container are both installed in the shell 21. The gas inlet of the gas-liquid mixing pump is connected to the outside air, the liquid inlet of the gas-liquid mixing pump is connected to the nutrient solution container, and the outlet of the gas-liquid mixing pump is connected to the main liquid pipe 4.

[0041] Specifically, the nutrient solution container contains nutrient solution, and the gas-liquid mixing pump can mix the nutrient solution and air and pump it out from the main liquid pipe 4, and then transport it to each cultivation trough 31 through each branch liquid pipe 5. By spraying the gas-liquid mixture from the supply port, a certain amount of air can be provided to the roots of the plant while providing the nutrient solution to prevent the roots of the plant from rotting. At the same time, the gas blows toward the plant from the gaps in the soil, which can take away some heat when the soil temperature is too high, thereby playing a cooling role. An air inlet 23 is provided on the shell 21 for inhaling air. A liquid filling port 22 is also provided on the shell 21 for replenishing the nutrient solution. Of course, in some other embodiments, a liquid pump can be used to pump the nutrient solution directly into the cultivation trough 31.

[0042] Example 4

[0043] refer to Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment is similar to Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, except that in this embodiment, multiple control valves (not shown) are connected to the pipeline, each of which is connected to the inlet end of each branch liquid pipe 5. The number of connected branch liquid pipes 5 can be adjusted by each control valve, so that nutrients can be replenished to some cultivation troughs 31 in a targeted manner.

[0044] In this embodiment, the cultivation rack also includes a plurality of fill-in lights 7, each of which is connected to the main frame 1 and is arranged above each cultivation plate 3. Specifically, the fill-in lights 7 can be directly connected to the main frame 1, or indirectly connected to the main frame 1 through other components. For example, in this embodiment, some fill-in lights 7 can be connected to the bottom of the cultivation plate 3, and the fill-in lights on the top layer can be connected to the bottom surface of the top plate to ensure that the plants on each layer can be illuminated by the fill-in lights 7. In some planting spaces with poor lighting conditions, such as special completely dark conditions such as container farms or when the climate causes insufficient lighting conditions, the fill-in lights 7 can effectively increase the light exposure time and light rate of the plants, thereby promoting plant growth. The fill-in lights 7 can be directly detachably connected to the cultivation plates 3 and the top plate. For example, grooves are provided at the bottom of the cultivation plates 3 and the top plate, and protrusions are provided at the corresponding positions of the fill-in lights 7. The protrusions and grooves are used for positioning, and the fill-in lights 7 are detachably connected by bolts.

[0045] In the present embodiment, the cultivation rack further includes a main controller (not shown in the figure), which is electrically connected to the fill light 7, the control valve and the gas-liquid mixing pump respectively. The main controller can be a common controller in the prior art such as a computer or a PLC. The main controller can control the opening and closing of each fill light 7. The control valve is selected as an electromagnetic valve, which can be opened and closed by circuit control to adjust the corresponding branch liquid pipe 5 to be connected. The main controller and the gas-liquid mixing pump can also be directly connected to the drive board of the gas-liquid mixing pump to control the opening and stopping of the gas-liquid mixing pump. In the present embodiment, the working conditions of each component are coordinated and controlled by the main controller, which facilitates the unified management of the plants in the cultivation rack. In other embodiments, multiple sensors can also be provided to be electrically connected to the main controller, such as a light sensor and a soil moisture sensor, to detect the external light conditions and soil moisture conditions, and to automatically adjust them for more convenient use.
