[0048] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , an improved device of a water planting tank is shown, having a tank body 10, an upper cover 30 of the tank body 10 has a receiving opening for disposing a planting cup 31, and a drainage unit 41, an overflow unit 42 and a filter unit 20 are arranged inside the tank body 10. The upper cover 30 has a first water inlet hole 301 and a second water inlet hole 302, nutrient solution or water enters the tank body 10 through the first water inlet hole 301 and the second water inlet hole 302. A plurality of tank bodies 10 can form a vertical multi-layer water planting tank group.

[0049] Referring to Figure 4 , the filter unit includes a filter box 21, a top wall 211 of the filter box 21 has a hollow part 211a for containing the planting cup 31, so that the plant roots in the planting cup 31 can extend into the filter box 21, wherein a plurality of side walls and a bottom wall of the filter box 21 are provided with a mounting part 212, a filter sheet 23 is detachably mounted on the mounting parts 212, the filter sheet 23 has a filter screen for adsorbing dirt or foreign matter in water, wherein the gap between the meshes of the filter screen on the filter sheet 23 can be, but is not limited to, 1mm, by arranging close meshes to prevent the plant roots from penetrating out of the filter screen. By limiting the growth space of the plant within the filter box 21 and filtering dirt or foreign matter through the filter sheet 23, the plant roots are prevented from blocking the pipelines of the drainage unit 41 or the overflow unit 42, the water quality is kept clean to benefit plant growth, and liquid can be prevented from flowing out of the tank body 10 to maintain a clean environment and reduce the cost of manual cleaning. In other embodiments, the gap between the meshes of the filter screen on the filter sheet 23 can be greater than or less than 1mm, and the user can set filter sheets with different mesh gaps according to the needs of the crops.

[0050] Further, the mounting part 212 and the filter sheet 23 are a concave-convex matching structure, in the embodiments of the present application, the mounting part 212 has a groove, two side edges of the filter sheet 23 are provided with a convex part and are clamped into the groove, thereby making the filter sheet 23 easy to be detached from the mounting part 212, and also preventing the plant roots from penetrating out of the intersection between the filter sheet 23 and the mounting part 212. When the user realizes that the filter screen has been filled with dirt and wants to replace the filter sheet 23, the filter sheet 23 that has adsorbed more dirt or foreign matter can be detached without replacing the entire filter box 21, so as to reduce resource waste.

[0051] In addition, the filter sheet 23 is washable, after cleaning the dirt on the detached filter sheet 23, it can be used again. In other embodiments, the filter sheet 23 can also be fixedly mounted on the mounting part 212, when the user wants to replace the filter sheet 23, the filter box 21 is directly removed and replaced with a new filter box 21.

[0052] Referring to Figure 5, in the embodiment of the utility model, the filter unit 20 still contains a splashproof support frame 25, the splashproof support frame 25 is a plate body, the edge of the plate body extends downward to make the contour of the plate body match the contour of the inner wall surface of the neck 101 of the groove body 10, and the plate body can be stably fixed in the groove body 10. The splashproof support frame 25 is arranged to prevent the liquid in the upper groove body 10 from splashing out when the liquid is discharged to the lower groove body 10, so that the liquid splashes to the upper cover 30 and causes the liquid to seep along the gap between the upper cover 30 and the groove body 10. In other embodiments, when the user needs to set up a pumping device in the groove body 10, the liquid can also be prevented from splashing out of the groove body 10 when pumping in the groove body 10.

[0053] The plate body has a mounting port 251, and the plate body also has a tenon 252 arranged around the mounting port 251. The edge of the top wall 211 of the filter box 21 extends outward in an L shape and is engaged with the tenon 252, so that the filter box 21 is positioned on the splashproof support frame 25 to prevent the liquid in the groove body 10 from splashing or seeping out of the splashproof support frame 25. In the embodiment of the utility model, the filter box 21 and the splashproof support frame 25 are two independent structures that can be separated from each other. When the user wants to replace the filter box 21, the filter box 21 can be removed separately, and a new filter box 21 is installed on the splashproof support frame 25, so as to reduce resource waste. In other embodiments, the filter box 21 and the splashproof support frame 25 can also be integrated as a structure to reduce the disassembly and assembly steps.

[0054] When the plate body is engaged with the neck 101, the plate body divides the inside of the groove body 10 into an upper accommodation space and a lower accommodation space. The plate body has two splashproof cylinders 253 arranged on both sides of the mounting port. The two splashproof cylinders 253 extend upward from the plate body and are located in the upper accommodation space. The filter box 21 is located in the lower accommodation space. The upper cover has a first water inlet hole 301 and a second water inlet hole 302. The two splashproof cylinders 253 are respectively communicated with the first water inlet hole 301 and the second water inlet hole 302. When a plurality of water planting grooves form an array type water planting groove group, the drainage unit 41 and the overflow unit 42 in the water planting groove on the upper layer extend into the splashproof cylinder 253 of the water planting groove on the lower layer to prevent liquid from splashing out.

[0055] Further, the lower accommodation space also has a drainage unit 41 and an overflow unit 42 arranged on the left and right sides of the filter box 21, respectively. The filter box 21 and the inner wall of the groove body 10 have a gap to facilitate the even flow of the liquid in the groove body 10 when the liquid rises and falls.

[0056] The utility model discloses a plant growth device, which comprises a filter box 21, a plurality of groove bodies 10, a plurality of upper covers 30, a plurality of lower covers 40, a plurality of drainage units 41, a plurality of overflow units 42 and a plurality of splashproof support frames 25.

[0057] It should be noted that, although the above-mentioned embodiments have been described in the present text, the patent protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereby. Therefore, based on the innovative concept of the utility model, the changes and modifications made to the embodiments described in the present text, or the equivalent structures or equivalent process transformations made using the contents of the utility model specification and drawings, directly or indirectly apply the above technical solutions to other related technical fields, are all included in the patent protection scope of the utility model.
