Adjustment devices are provided at both ends of the bottom of the bottom box 1. The lower end of the adjustment device is connected to a moving wheel 14. It should be noted that in this embodiment, in order to facilitate the introduction of nutrient solution into the trough body 2, one end of the liquid inlet pipe 5 is connected to a pipeline via a quick connector, and the other end of the pipeline is connected to a nutrient solution tank. A liquid pump is connected to the pipeline.

[0019] In order to facilitate the adjustment of the height of the two ends of the bottom box 1, so that the bottom box 1 is tilted, it is convenient to recover the nutrient solution, the adjusting device includes a bracket 9, a screw 10, and a screw sleeve 11. The two ends of the bottom of the bottom box 1 are fixedly connected to the bracket 9, the lower end of the bracket 9 is rotatably connected to the screw 10, the upper end of the screw 10 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft of the lower end of the bracket 9 through a rotating ring, the lower end of the screw 10 is threadedly connected to the screw sleeve 11, and the lower end of the screw sleeve 11 is provided with a rotating groove, the upper end of the connecting rod 12 is fixedly connected to a rotating disk, the rotating disk is embedded in the rotating groove and is rotatably connected to it, the lower end of the connecting rod 12 is fixedly connected to a support base 13, and the lower end of the support base 13 is fixedly connected to a moving wheel 14. It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the moving wheel 14 adopts a universal wheel, which has a brake assembly. During the cultivation process, the brake assembly is used to lock the universal wheel to ensure the stability of the device.

[0020] In order to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the liquid inlet pipe 5, support rods 6 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the bottom box 1 by bolts, and a clamping groove 7 is fixedly connected to the support rods 6. The two ends of the liquid inlet pipe 5 are clamped downward in the clamping groove 7. It should be noted that in this embodiment, in order to eliminate the influence of the liquid inlet pipe 5 on the growth of the plants, the support rods 6 are located on one side of the bottom box 1. After the liquid inlet pipe 5 is installed, the liquid inlet pipe 5 is located on the upper side of the tank body 2, so that the nutrient solution output by the liquid outlet nozzle can enter the tank body 2.

[0021] In order to facilitate the connection between the trough bodies 2, a dovetail block 16 is fixedly connected to one end of the trough body 2 and a dovetail groove 15 is fixedly connected to the other end. Two adjacent trough bodies 2 are connected through the dovetail block 16 and the dovetail groove 15.

[0022] In order to limit and fix the matrix groove and the base box 1 to prevent the matrix groove from sliding in the base box 1, dovetail blocks 16 and dovetail grooves 15 are fixedly connected at both ends of the base box 1, and the groove body 2 at the head and tail ends are connected to the inner walls of the base box 1 on both sides through dovetail blocks 16 and dovetail grooves 15.

To facilitate the removal and assembly of the filter plates for cleaning or replacement, a door is hinged at the front end of the liquid collection box. A sealing strip is directly provided between the door and the liquid collection box. To facilitate the reuse of the nutrient solution, a circulation pipe is connected to one side of the bottom of the liquid collection box, and the circulation pipe is connected to a valve and a circulation pump. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the liquid collection box is an independent unit that can move freely with the matrix tank.

[0024] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the height of one end of the bottom box 1 so that it is tilted, a non-slip sleeve is fixedly connected to the outside of the screw sleeve 11, and the screw sleeve 11 can be adjusted by manually twisting it; at the same time, a nut is also fixedly connected to the outside of the screw sleeve 11, so that when it cannot be twisted manually, it can be rotated and adjusted using tools such as a wrench.

[0025] The working process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0026] When it is necessary to cultivate plants, the cell bodies 2 are connected, and the cell body 2 is connected to the bottom box 1 at the same time. The plug 4 is firmly plugged into the drainage hole. Then, the prepared substrate is placed in the cell body 2. The liquid pump on the nutrient solution tank is started to operate, and the nutrient solution is passed into the liquid inlet pipe 5. The nutrient solution is sprayed onto the substrate from the liquid outlet nozzle to soak the substrate. The plug 4 is then removed, and excess nutrient solution flows into the bottom box 1 from the drainage hole. The recovery pipe 8 at either end of the bottom box 1 is connected to the liquid collection box via a hose and the valve on the recovery pipe 8 is opened. The regulating device at the opposite end is then adjusted, and the screw sleeve 11 is rotated so that the screw 10 drives the bottom box to rise, so that the nutrient solution flows from the recovery pipe 8 into the liquid collection box and is filtered through the filter plate, and then stored for reuse. During the plant cultivation process, excess nutrient solution can be recovered by flowing the excess nutrient solution into the bottom box 1 from the drainage hole and then recycled into the liquid collection box after adjustment. During the cultivation process, the entire device can be moved as needed using the movable wheels 14.
