[0002] Organic vegetables are characterized by being far from pollution and of high quality. As people's requirements for food safety increase, the demand for organic vegetables is also gradually increasing. In the process of organic vegetable cultivation, some organic vegetables have begun to be grown in planting cabinets to quantitatively control the growth environment of the vegetables. The growing environment of organic vegetables in the planting cabinet can be automatically adjusted even when unattended. However, the growth temperature and water required by the vegetables inside the planting cabinet are not well utilized. Therefore, there is a need for a planting cabinet for organic vegetable cultivation that can automatically adjust the internal environment of the planting cabinet, effectively utilize water resources, achieve effective recycling, and intelligently adjust the planting conditions to achieve automated control.

[0003] A smart organic vegetable planting device with patent number CN206196505U has only a planting rack for planting vegetables inside, but there is no chamber for storing liquid inside the planting rack.

[0028] To more clearly and completely illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will further explain this utility model.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-4 This utility model proposes an intelligent vegetable planting cabinet, including a cabinet body 1, a control module 2, a nutrient solution circulation irrigation component 3, and a planting structure 4. The control module 2 and the nutrient solution circulation irrigation component 3 are fixedly connected inside the cabinet body 1. The planting structure 4 is detachably connected inside the cabinet body 1. The irrigation end 31 of the nutrient solution circulation irrigation component 3 is located above the planting structure 4, and the bottom of the planting structure 4 is connected to the recovery end 32 of the nutrient solution circulation irrigation component 3. The nutrient solution circulation irrigation component 3 is electrically connected to the control module 2. The planting structure 4 includes multiple planting trays 41, which are arranged in an array inside the cabinet and connected from top to bottom. The multiple planting trays 41 are respectively... The planting tray 41 is detachably connected to the cabinet 1 and can hold nutrient solution and guide excess nutrient solution to the planting tray 41 below. The control module 2 includes a constant voltage and constant current power supply 21, a wireless communication module 22, and a data processing module 23. The data processing module 23 is electrically connected to the constant voltage and constant current power supply 21 and the wireless communication module 22 respectively. The constant voltage and constant current power supply 21 is used to connect to the mains power and then convert the mains power into DC power for distribution to the data processing module 23. The wireless communication module 22 can be a Wi-Fi module or a Bluetooth module and is used to receive wireless commands from external control devices. The data processing module 23 is electrically connected to the nutrient solution circulation irrigation component 3.

[0030] In this embodiment, the data processing module 23 in the control module 2 issues corresponding instructions to the nutrient solution circulation irrigation component 3, controlling the nutrient solution circulation irrigation component 3 to circulate and irrigate the vegetables in the planting structure 4 with nutrient solution. The planting structure 4 includes multiple planting trays 41, each of which can be used independently. During irrigation, the nutrient solution first flows into the uppermost planting tray 41, which temporarily stores the nutrient solution. Then, the excess nutrient solution overflowing from the planting tray 41 is guided to the planting trays 41 below, which continue to temporarily store the nutrient solution until the lowermost planting tray 41 overflows. The nutrient solution then flows back into the nutrient solution circulation irrigation component 3. Within a certain period of time, the vegetables in the planting trays 41 can consume the temporarily stored nutrient solution to grow. The nutrient solution circulation irrigation component 4 does not need to be restarted in a short period of time, saving electricity.

[0031] In summary, this intelligent vegetable growing cabinet can increase the temporary storage function of nutrient solution in the growing rack, so that vegetables can have sufficient moisture to maintain for a period of time after irrigation, avoiding repeated irrigation and saving electricity.

[0032] In this embodiment, the planting tray 41 includes a base box 411, an inner box 412, a top cover 413, and multiple planting baskets 414.

The base box 411 is used to form a detachable connection with the cabinet 1, and also serves to provide a space for the inner box 412. A stable supporting structure, the planting basket 414 is used to grow vegetables. When the nutrient solution is watered, the nutrient solution will first flow into the inner box 412. After the nutrient solution fills the inner box 412, the nutrient solution has enough height to soak the roots and stems of the vegetables in the planting basket 414. During the continued watering process, the nutrient solution overflows from the inner box 412 and flows into the bottom box 411. The bottom box 411 then flows the nutrient solution downwards, so that a planting tray 41 below is watered.

[0033] In this embodiment, the inner box 412 is provided with U-shaped grooves 4121 on both sides, and the bottom box 411 is provided with a sloping groove 4111. The U-shaped grooves 4121 and the sloping grooves 4111 are connected. The U-shaped grooves 4121 are used to guide the nutrient solution overflowing from the inner box 412, so that the nutrient solution can be concentrated into the bottom box 411. The sloping grooves 4111 form a slope, which concentrates the nutrient solution at one end of the bottom box 411, and then the nutrient solution flows downward, so that a planting tray 41 below is watered.

[0034] In this embodiment, the bottom of the bottom box 411 is provided with a guide port 4112, which is connected to the inclined groove 4111. After the nutrient solution flows into the inclined groove 4111, the inclined groove 4111 concentrates the nutrient solution towards the guide port 4112. Finally, the nutrient solution flows along the guide port 4112 to a planting tray 41 below.

[0035] In this embodiment, the cabinet 1 is provided with a flow guide trough 11. One end of the flow guide trough 11 is connected and communicated with the flow guide port 4112 of the upper bottom box 411, and the other end of the flow guide trough 11 faces the next planting tray 41. The flow guide trough 11 is located between the upper planting tray 41 and the lower planting tray 41. It is mainly used to guide the nutrient solution from the flow guide port 4112 of the upper bottom box 411 toward the lower planting tray 41 in a directional manner, so as to prevent the nutrient solution from spreading randomly.

[0036] In this embodiment, the planting tray 41 also includes a plurality of barriers 415, one barrier 415 being located between two planting baskets 414 and the barrier 415 being fixedly connected to the inner box 412; the barrier 415 is used to separate the vegetable roots and stems of the two planting baskets 414 to prevent them from getting tangled.

[0037] In this embodiment, the nutrient solution circulating irrigation component 3 includes an irrigation end 31, a recovery end 32, a raw solution storage component 33, a water pump 34, and a storage tank 35. One end of the raw solution storage component 33 is connected to and in communication with the storage tank 35. The recovery end 32 is located above the storage tank 35 and is in communication with it. The water inlet of the water pump 34 is connected to and in communication with the storage tank 35.

Connection; Before irrigation, the original liquid storage component 33 will release a preset amount of nutrient original liquid into the storage tank 35. The user needs to add a certain proportion of water into the storage tank 35 to form a nutrient solution. Then, the irrigation time is set through the control module 2. When the irrigation time is set, the water pump 34 will extract the nutrient solution in the storage tank 35 and deliver it to the irrigation end 31 through the delivery pipe 36. The irrigation end 31 will then irrigate the planting tray 41. Finally, the excess nutrient solution will flow into the recycling end 32 and then flow back into the storage tank 35.

[0038] In this embodiment, the nutrient solution storage component 33 includes multiple nutrient solution storage tanks 331, multiple metering pumps 332, and an integrated pipe 333. The multiple nutrient solution storage tanks 331 are arranged sequentially and fixedly connected to the cabinet 1. The multiple metering pumps 332 correspond one-to-one with the multiple nutrient solution storage tanks 331. The inlet of the metering pump 332 is connected to and conducts through the nutrient solution storage tank 331. The outlet of each metering pump 332 is connected to and conducts through one end of the integrated pipe 333. The other end of the integrated pipe 333 is connected to and conducts through the storage tank 35. The multiple metering pumps 332 are all electrically connected to the control module 2. The multiple nutrient solution storage tanks 331 can each contain nutrient solutions with different element contents. When planting different kinds of vegetables, the control module 2 can adjust the appropriate ratio of nutrient elements for the vegetables to be planted, and then control the corresponding metering pump 332 to release a certain amount of nutrient solution from the nutrient solution storage tank 331 into the storage tank 35 for mixing, so as to form the optimal nutrient solution for the vegetables to be planted.

[0039] In this embodiment, a data analysis camera 12 is installed inside the cabinet 1, facing the planting structure 4. The data analysis camera 12 is electrically connected to the control module 2. The data analysis camera 12 is used to view the growth of vegetables in the planting structure 4 and then feeds back to the control module 2, so that the control module 2 issues the corresponding irrigation command to the nutrient solution circulation irrigation component 3. A temperature and humidity sensor 13 is installed inside the cabinet 1, facing the planting structure 4. The temperature and humidity sensor 13 is electrically connected to the control module 2 and is used to sense the temperature and humidity inside the cabinet 1.

[0040] Of course, there may be other implementations of this utility model. Based on this implementation, other implementations obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model.
