Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable cultivation equipment technology, specifically a soilless vegetable cultivation device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional soil cultivation and hydroponics have certain limitations in terms of oxygen supply, while aeroponics solves the problem of insufficient oxygen supply to the roots by spraying the nutrient solution directly onto the plant roots after atomization, allowing the roots to fully contact the air.

[0003] During the growth of aeroponic vegetables, because their root systems are quite extensive, it is necessary to prune excessively long roots regularly. Pruning the roots promotes the growth of new roots and prevents them from becoming entangled, which would hinder the absorption of nutrient solution.

[0004] Most existing aerosol cultivation devices require staff to remove vegetables from the cultivation chamber and trim them. When trimming multiple vegetables, staff need to repeatedly remove, trim, and put the vegetables back into the cultivation chamber, making the whole process quite cumbersome.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a soilless vegetable cultivation device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a soilless vegetable cultivation device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a soilless vegetable cultivation device, comprising a box body, wherein a pruning pliers is installed inside the box body; the pruning pliers include a second blade, a first sliding groove, a second sliding groove, a handle, a spring, a pull rod, and the first blade; the bottom end of the second blade is provided with the first sliding groove, and the end of the first sliding groove away from the second blade is provided with a second sliding groove; the handle is provided with the end of the second sliding groove away from the first sliding groove; the spring is installed between the handle and the pull rod; the pull rod is installed inside the first sliding groove and the second sliding groove; the first blade is installed with the end of the pull rod away from the spring.

[0008] Preferably, a storage compartment is installed on the side of the box.

[0009] Preferably, a rotating rod is installed between the inner side of the box and the inner side of the storage compartment.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides an embodiment of a hydroponic vegetable planting device, comprising a housing 11, inside which a pruning clamp 20 is installed; the pruning clamp 20 includes a second blade 23, a first sliding groove 24, a second sliding groove 25, a handle 26, a spring 27, a pull rod 22, and a first blade 21; the bottom end of the second blade 23 is provided with the first sliding groove 24, and the end of the first sliding groove 24 away from the second blade 23 is provided with the second sliding groove 25; the end of the second sliding groove 25 away from the first sliding groove 24 is provided with the handle 26; the spring 27 is installed between the handle 26 and the pull rod 22; the pull rod 22 is installed inside the first sliding groove 24 and the second sliding groove 25; the end of the pull rod 22 away from the spring 27 is provided with the first blade 21.

[0024] The specific working principle of the pruning pliers 20 is as follows: When using it, the operator holds the pull rod 22 and handle 26 exposed outside the housing 11. When the operator wants to prune the roots of the aeroponic vegetables, they squeeze the handle 26 and the bottom of the pull rod 22. The bottom of the pull rod 22, under the operator's grip, slides inside the first blade 21, the first sliding groove 24, and the second sliding groove 25. As the pull rod 22 slides within these grooves, it drives the first blade 21 to slide along with it until the first blade 21 and the second blade 23 come into contact, thus completing the removal of the roots of the aeroponic vegetables. After the first cutter head 21 and the second cutter head 23 have finished cutting the roots of the aeroponic vegetables, the staff releases the grip 26 and the bottom of the lever 22. The spring 27 installed between the grip 26 and the bottom of the lever 22 will provide opposite forces to the bottom of the lever 22 and the grip 26, so as to separate the bottom of the lever 22 and the grip 26, thereby separating the first cutter head 21 and the second cutter head 23.

[0025] The first cutter head 21 and the first sliding groove 24 provide sliding space for the pull rod 22, and also limit the pull rod 22 to prevent it from detaching from the inside of the first cutter head 21 and the first sliding groove 24, which would cause the trimmer pliers 20 to disintegrate.

[0026] The purpose of not having a sidewall on one side of the second sliding groove 25 is to provide sliding space for the bottom of the grip 26, while the purpose of having sidewalls on both sides of the first sliding groove 24 is to block the rise of the bottom of the pull rod 22.

[0027] The cutouts on the sides of the first sliding groove 24 and the second sliding groove 25 are designed to accommodate the rotating rod 17. Workers can adjust the trimming angle of the trimming pliers 20 using the rotating rod 17 inside as the rotation center, allowing for the trimming of roots of aeroponic vegetables of different lengths.

[0028] Specifically, a storage compartment 14 is installed on the side of the box 11, providing space for staff to place the pruning pliers 20. After the staff uses the pruning pliers 20 to trim the roots of the aeroponic vegetables, they can move the pruning pliers 20 into the storage compartment 14 on the side of the box 11 for storage.

[0029] After the pruning pliers 20 are stored in the storage compartment 14, the staff closes the cover 13 installed on the front of the box 11 to prevent the culture material inside the box 11 from being exposed to the external environment.

[0030] Specifically, a rotating rod 17 is installed between the inner side of the box 11 and the inner side of the storage compartment 14, and the trimmer 20 can slide on the rotating rod 17, sliding from one end of the box 11 into the interior of the storage compartment 14.

[0031] Specifically, the pruning pliers 20 are mounted on the outside of the rotating rod 17. The operator can adjust the pruning angle of the pruning pliers 20 with the rotating rod 17 inside the pruning pliers 20 as the rotation center, so as to prune the roots of aeroponic vegetables of different lengths.

[0032] Specifically, a collection box 15 is installed at the bottom of the box 11. The collection box 15 can collect the roots of the aeroponic vegetables that fall to the bottom of the box 11 after being trimmed by the pruning pliers 20. The staff will pull the collection box 15 out of the box 11 to empty the roots of the aeroponic vegetables, in order to prevent the roots from rotting inside the box 11 and thus affecting the cultivation environment inside the box 11.

[0033] Specifically, a rake 16 is installed inside the box 11 near the collection box 15. Workers hold the rake 16 and pull it back and forth to collect the roots of the aeroponic vegetables that have fallen to the bottom of the box 11 after being trimmed by the pruning pliers 20, and then collect them inside the collection box 15. This is to prevent the roots of the aeroponic vegetables from rotting inside the box 11, thus affecting the cultivation environment inside the box 11.

[0034] Specifically, the top of the box 11 is equipped with a cultivation hole 12, which is used to fix the aeroponic vegetables.

[0035] Specifically, the front of the box 11 is equipped with glass 18, through which staff can observe the growth of the roots of the aeroponic vegetables inside the box 11, and can also use pruning pliers 20 to prune the roots of the aeroponic vegetables through the glass 18.

[0036] Working principle:

[0037] Staff members observe the growth status of the roots of the aeroponic vegetables inside the container 11 through the glass 18 installed on the front of the container 11.

[0038] When staff observe that the roots of the aeroponic vegetables planted in the cultivation holes 12 have grown too long and need to be trimmed, they open the cover 13 and grasp the trimming pliers 20 by hand. The staff removes the trimming pliers 20 from the storage compartment 14 and moves it to the middle of the box 11.

[0039] After moving the pruning pliers 20 to the middle of the container 11, the staff uses the glass 18 on the front of the container 11 to determine the location where the aeroponic vegetables need to be pruned. Once the staff selects the pruning location for the aeroponic vegetable roots, they rotate the pruning pliers 20 around the rotating rod 17. While rotating the pruning pliers 20, the staff also inserts the pruning pliers 20 into the container 11 to move it to the pruning location for the aeroponic vegetable roots.

[0040] After the staff moves the pruning pliers 20 to the pruning position of the aeroponic vegetable roots, they squeeze the bottom of the lever 22 and the handle 26. The lever 22 slides inside the first sliding groove 24 and the second sliding groove 25, thereby driving the first cutter head 21 to move closer to the second cutter head 23 until the first cutter head 21 and the second cutter head 23 cut the roots of the aeroponic vegetable.

[0041] After the roots of the aeroponic vegetables are cut, the staff releases the bottom of the lever 22 and the handle 26. The spring 27 will separate the bottom of the lever 22 and the handle 26, making it easier for the staff to prune the roots of the next aeroponic vegetable.

[0042] After the staff has finished trimming the roots of all the aeroponic vegetables, they put the trimmer 20 back into the storage compartment 14 and close the cover 13 on the front of the box 11.

[0043] Next, the staff member uses a rake 16 to collect the roots of the aeroponic vegetables that have fallen to the bottom of the box 11 into the collection box 15. After collecting the roots of the aeroponic vegetables, the staff member pulls the collection box 15 out of the box 11 and pours out the roots of the aeroponic vegetables inside the collection box 15.

[0044] After the staff finished emptying the roots of the aeroponic vegetables inside the collection box 15, they put the collection box 15 back into the box body 11, thus ending the root trimming work of the aeroponic vegetables.

[0045] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
