Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydroponic planting technology, specifically to a hydroponic floating board unit and a hydroponic floating board. Background Technology

[0002] Hydroponics, as a novel soilless cultivation method for plants, has attracted much attention in recent years. It involves directly immersing plant roots in a nutrient solution, providing the plants with the necessary water, nutrients, and oxygen for growth, effectively avoiding problems such as pests, diseases, and soil-borne diseases associated with traditional soil cultivation. In hydroponic cultivation, the floating platform, as a crucial support structure for the plants, directly impacts the stability of the hydroponic system, cultivation efficiency, and crop growth.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN215767438U discloses a hydroponic vegetable floating board, which realizes the planting of vegetables by setting planting holes and installing planting cups on the main body of the floating board, and realizes the connection of multiple floating boards through structures such as swing rods and positioning grooves.

[0004] Chinese patent document CN216427678U discloses a float that is easy to disassemble, which realizes convenient insertion and disassembly between floats through components such as mounting blocks, plug rods, connecting blocks and T-shaped plugs.

[0005] However, in the aforementioned patent documents, the floating boards are connected by plugging and rotating, requiring each floating board to be installed individually, which is cumbersome and inefficient.

[0006] Therefore, existing floating plate units need to be improved to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0007] To overcome the problems existing in related technologies, one of the objectives of this utility model is to provide a floating board unit for hydroponics, so as to solve the problems of cumbersome installation process and low installation efficiency in the existing technology.

[0008] A floating board unit for hydroponics includes:

[0009] The main body of the floating plate unit is a hollow rectangular plate. The four corners of the main body of the floating plate unit are provided with expansion connectors for connecting two or more of the floating plate units for hydroponics. The main body of the floating plate unit has several mounting holes that penetrate through the main body of the floating plate unit and are used to install planting baskets.

[0010] The main body of the floating board unit adopts a hollow structure, which can effectively reduce the overall weight of the floating board, save material costs, and at the same time can adjust the buoyancy by adjusting the filling material in the cavity. The expansion connectors set at the four corners of the main body of the floating board unit can realize the convenient connection of two or more floating board units, facilitate splicing into a larger planting platform, improve space utilization rate, and meet the hydroponic requirements of different scales.

[0011] In some embodiments, the expansion connectors are all arranged on the same side of the central plane in the thickness direction of the main body of the floating board unit, and the adjacent expansion connectors are arranged staggeredly.

[0012] By arranging the expansion connectors on the same side of the central plane in the thickness direction of the main body of the floating board unit and staggering the adjacent expansion connectors, when installing, the expansion connectors of multiple floating board units can overlap with each other, and multiple floating board units can be kept on the same horizontal plane, ensuring the flatness and stability of the splicing of multiple floating board units.

[0013] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the main body of the floating board unit is square.

[0014] Due to the characteristic that the four sides of a square are equal, when splicing multiple square main bodies of the floating board unit, it can be more flexible and achieve more regular splicing.

[0015] In some embodiments, the mounting holes are arranged in an array on the main body of the floating board unit.

[0016] The mounting holes arranged in an array on the main body of the floating board unit can make the planting baskets arranged more neatly and orderly, facilitating management and operation, and also conducive to the uniform distribution of light and nutrients, improving the consistency of the growth environment of crops, thereby promoting the growth of plants.

[0017] In some embodiments, there are 9 mounting holes, and the 9 mounting holes are distributed in a "field" shape. The main body of the floating board unit is also provided with 4 sub-holes, and the 4 sub-holes are arranged around the mounting hole located in the center.

[0018] The mounting holes distributed in a "field" shape can provide a larger planting area, and at the same time can make the force on the floating board unit uniform, ensuring the stability of the center of gravity of the floating board unit. The setting of the sub-holes can effectively improve the rigidity of the main body of the floating board unit, prevent the surface of the floating board from collapsing, and at the same time can strengthen the dissolution of air in the nutrient solution, improving the planting effect of the planted crops.

[0019] In some embodiments, the upper and lower surfaces of the main body of the floating board unit are also provided with a first water guide groove and a second water guide groove. The first water guide groove communicates with adjacent mounting holes, and the second water guide groove connects the mounting holes at the edge of the main body of the floating board unit with the edge of the main body of the floating board unit.

[0020] A first water guide groove and a second water guide groove are set on the upper and lower surfaces of the main body of the floating plate unit. The first water guide groove is connected to the adjacent mounting holes, and the mounting holes of the second water guide groove are connected to the edge of the floating plate. This can effectively guide the water flow and nutrient solution to be evenly distributed throughout the floating plate platform, avoid local nutrient accumulation or lack, ensure that each plant can obtain sufficient nutrient supply, improve water and fertilizer utilization, promote plant growth, and increase yield.

[0021] In some embodiments, the mounting hole is circular, and a retaining ring is provided inside the mounting hole. The retaining ring is located at the center plane of the mounting hole and protrudes from the inner wall of the mounting hole.

[0022] The round mounting holes facilitate the placement and removal of the planting basket, while the fixing ring design enhances the stability of the planting basket, preventing it from tilting or falling and ensuring the normal growth of the plants.

[0023] In some embodiments, the diameter of the mounting hole gradually decreases along the direction from the main body plate of the float unit to the fixing ring.

[0024] The tapered hole design allows the planting basket to be more securely fixed in the mounting hole, preventing it from loosening or falling off during use, thus improving the service life and safety of the floating plate unit.

[0025] In some embodiments, the extended connectors extend outward from the four corners of the float unit body, the extended connectors are annular, and the four corners of the float unit body are provided with avoidance recesses, which correspond to the extended connectors.

[0026] The four corner extension connectors allow adjacent floating plate units to be connected more tightly. The circular connectors can rotate at multiple angles, facilitating the splicing of different shapes. The recessed design avoids mutual interference between connectors, improving the stability and flexibility of the splicing.

[0027] The second objective of this utility model is to provide a hydroponic float, which includes a plurality of hydroponic float units as described above and connecting fasteners. The extended connectors of adjacent hydroponic float units overlap each other, and the connecting fasteners lock the overlapping extended connectors.

[0028] Multiple hydroponic float units are connected by fasteners to form a hydroponic float, which can be freely combined into planting platforms of different sizes and shapes to meet various planting needs. At the same time, the fasteners also facilitate the disassembly of the hydroponic float, making it easy to clean, maintain, and replace.

[0029] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0030] This utility model provides a floating plate unit for hydroponics. The floating plate unit includes a main body, which is a hollow rectangular plate with expansion connectors at the four corners. Several mounting holes are formed on the main body, penetrating through it. The hollow structure reduces the weight of the floating plate, facilitating handling and operation, while increasing buoyancy to support more planting baskets and plants. The rectangular plate design is simple and practical, facilitating splicing and expansion, and adaptable to hydroponic systems of different sizes. Multiple floating plate units can be spliced ​​together via the expansion connectors at the four corners, allowing for flexible assembly of planting platforms of different shapes and sizes to maximize space utilization and increase planting density. The mounting holes penetrating the main body not only facilitate the fixing of planting baskets but, more importantly, ensure the circulation of nutrient solution in the hydroponic system. The roots under the planting baskets can fully contact the nutrient solution, promoting plant growth. The penetrating design also facilitates the drainage of excess water, preventing root rot due to lack of oxygen. Attached Figure Description
