Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aeroponic cultivation technology, and more specifically to an aeroponic device. Background Technology

[0002] In agriculture and horticulture, traditional soil cultivation has many limitations, such as soil susceptibility to disease, easy degradation of fertility, and restriction of root growth and oxygen supply. Soilless cultivation methods like hydroponics and substrate cultivation also have drawbacks: hydroponics requires additional aeration equipment, has complex nutrient solution management, and is prone to algae and microbial growth; substrate cultivation involves easy substrate decomposition and high costs. While aeroponics, as an emerging soilless cultivation method, has advantages, existing aeroponic devices are not compact in structure, have low space utilization efficiency, and are unsuitable for limited spaces such as indoors and greenhouses. Furthermore, the poor layout of atomization and cultivation units leads to low atomization efficiency, poor air-mist recycling, and energy waste. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide an aeroponic device, which aims to solve the technical problem of low atomization efficiency caused by poor layout of existing aeroponic devices.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] An aeroponic device includes a base, an atomizing unit, and a cultivation unit. The base includes a receiving cavity for accommodating the cultivation unit and the atomizing unit, and the bottom of the receiving cavity stores atomizing liquid. The cultivation unit and the atomizing unit are submerged in the receiving cavity. The cultivation unit is used to support plants and fix the roots of the plants. The atomizing unit is used to atomize the atomizing liquid to cultivate the plants. One end of the atomizing unit is connected to the receiving cavity, and the other end is connected to the cultivation unit to provide aerosol treatment to the roots of the plants.

[0006] In one embodiment, the atomizing unit includes a splitter seat, a mist guide tube, and an atomizer. The atomizer is located at the bottom of the mist guide tube. One end of the mist guide tube is connected to the receiving cavity, and the other end is connected to the splitter seat. The splitter seat is connected to the cultivation unit.

[0007] In one embodiment, the cultivation unit includes a mounting plate, a partition plate, and a cultivation component. The mounting plate and the partition plate are arranged sequentially from top to bottom in the receiving cavity, and the cultivation component is mounted on the mounting plate.

[0008] In one embodiment, the base and the isolation plate form an atomizing cavity, the bottom of the atomizing unit is connected to the atomizing cavity, and the atomizing cavity is used to store atomizing liquid.

[0009] In one embodiment, the mist guide tube is connected to the atomizing chamber, and the atomizer is submerged in the atomizing liquid.

[0010] In one embodiment, the cultivation component includes a plurality of cultivation tanks, the top of which is attached to the mounting plate.

[0011] In one embodiment, the base, the mounting plate, and the partition plate form a cultivation cavity, and the bottom of the cultivation bucket is connected to the cultivation cavity.

[0012] In one embodiment, the sidewall of the flow divider is provided with a plurality of mist outlets, which are respectively connected to the flow divider and the cultivation chamber.

[0013] In one embodiment, the mounting plate is detachably connected to the side wall of the diverter seat.

[0014] In one embodiment, a fixed cylinder is provided inside the base, and the mist guide cylinder is sleeved inside the fixed cylinder.

[0015] The advantages of this invention compared to existing technologies are as follows: By rationally designing the atomizing unit, the atomizer directly contacts the atomizing liquid and atomizes it to generate mist.

[0030] See Figures 1 to 6As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment discloses an aeroponic device, including a base 1, an atomizing unit 2, and a cultivation unit 3. The base 1 includes a receiving cavity 11 for accommodating the cultivation unit 3 and the atomizing unit 2, and the bottom of the receiving cavity 11 stores atomizing liquid. The cultivation unit 3 and the atomizing unit 2 are submerged in the receiving cavity 11. The cultivation unit 3 is used to support the plant and fix the plant roots. The atomizing unit 2 is used to atomize the atomizing liquid to cultivate the plant. One end of the atomizing unit 2 is connected to the receiving cavity 11, and the other end is connected to the cultivation unit 3 to perform aerosol action on the plant roots.

[0031] Specifically, the base 1 is the basic structure of the entire aeroponic device, and its containing cavity 11 provides a stable installation space for the cultivation unit 3 and the atomizing unit 2. The bottom of the cavity 11 has a dedicated area for storing the atomizing liquid, the volume of which can be designed according to the required number of plants and their growth cycle. The cultivation unit 3 and the atomizing unit 2 are recessed within the cavity 11; this layout facilitates centralized management and optimized space utilization. The cultivation unit 3 is positioned so that the plant roots are in the optimal aerosol receiving position, while the atomizing unit 2, through its connection with the cavity 11 and the cultivation unit 3, enables the extraction, atomization, and delivery of the atomizing liquid.

[0032] This centralized layout makes the entire device compact, reducing space requirements and facilitating user operation and maintenance. The cultivation unit 3 supports the plant roots, ensuring stable growth while exposing them to the aerosol environment, which promotes nutrient and oxygen absorption and accelerates plant growth. The atomizing unit 2, connecting the receiving cavity 11 and the cultivation unit 3, enables the circulation and efficient utilization of the atomized liquid. It delivers the atomized liquid evenly to the plant roots in aerosol form, providing sufficient water and nutrients and improving nutrient absorption efficiency. It is understood that the atomizing liquid in this embodiment can be water or nutrient solution, or other liquids beneficial to plant growth.

[0033] Furthermore, the atomizing unit 2 includes a flow divider 21, a mist guide tube 22, and an atomizer 23. The atomizer 23 is located at the bottom of the mist guide tube 22. One end of the mist guide tube 22 is connected to the receiving cavity 11, and the other end is connected to the flow divider 21. The flow divider 21 is connected to the cultivation unit 3.

[0034] Specifically, the distributor 21 is used to evenly distribute the atomized mist to all corners of the cultivation unit 3, preventing the mist from concentrating in one place and ensuring that multiple plants can receive a uniform mist supply simultaneously, reducing growth differences between plants. The mist guide tube 22, as a connecting component, is connected at one end to the receiving cavity 11, ensuring smooth extraction of liquid from the storage area for atomization through the atomizer 23. Its other end is connected to the distributor 21, guiding the flow of the mist. In this embodiment, the mist guide tube 22 is a cylindrical pipe, the length of which is adjusted according to the height of the base 1, ensuring the flow direction and path of the mist, preventing disordered diffusion, reducing energy loss, improving the efficiency of mist delivery, and ensuring the stability of the entire system.

[0035] The atomizer 23 is located at the bottom of the mist guide tube 22 and uses ultrasonic atomization technology. When powered on, it breaks the atomized liquid stored at the bottom of the receiving cavity 11 into tiny droplets through high-frequency vibration, making the droplets easier for the plant roots to absorb, thereby improving the plant's efficiency in using water and nutrients and reducing energy consumption. Compared with the traditional atomizer 23, it can save electricity.

[0036] Furthermore, the cultivation unit 3 includes a mounting plate 31, an isolation plate 32, and a cultivation component 33. The mounting plate 31 and the isolation plate 32 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom in the receiving cavity 11, and the cultivation component 33 is mounted on the mounting plate 31.

[0037] Specifically, the mounting plate 31 provides support for the cultivation component 33, and its surface is provided with multiple slots 311 to facilitate the installation and removal of the cultivation component 33. When it is necessary to replace the plant or perform maintenance, the cultivation component 33 can be quickly removed or its position adjusted, improving the convenience of operation. In this embodiment, the mounting plate 31 is made of a rigid plastic plate with a thickness of 1-2 cm, which has sufficient strength to support the weight of the cultivation component 33.

[0038] The partition plate 32 is used to divide different functional areas within the housing cavity 11, separating the upper cultivation cavity 112 and the lower atomizing cavity 111, thereby creating a relatively independent cultivation space, protecting the plant from the influence of the lower atomizing unit 2 and preventing the plant roots from being immersed in the atomizing liquid and causing rot, providing a more suitable growth microenvironment for the plant, and helping to improve the survival rate of the plant.

[0039] The cultivation component 33 is the part that directly supports the plant. By hanging it on the mounting plate 31, its position and quantity can be flexibly adjusted according to different planting needs such as plant growth characteristics and planting density, thereby improving space utilization and meeting the growth needs of different plants.

[0040] Furthermore, the base 1 and the isolation plate 32 form an atomizing cavity 111, the bottom of the atomizing unit 2 is connected to the atomizing cavity 111, and the atomizing cavity 111 is used to store atomizing liquid.

[0041] Specifically, the atomizing chamber 111 is formed by the base 1 and the partition plate 32. Its shape and size are determined by the dimensions of the base 1 and the partition plate 32. The atomizing chamber 111 is used for storing the atomizing liquid and performing the atomization function, ensuring that the atomizing liquid has a relatively independent storage space, which facilitates the monitoring and adjustment of the state of the atomizing liquid. The bottom of the atomizing unit 2 is connected to the atomizing chamber 111, so that the atomizer 23 can directly draw atomizing liquid from the atomizing chamber 111, ensuring the continuity and stability of the atomization process. A stable supply of atomizing liquid can ensure that the atomizer 23 works continuously and stably, avoiding uneven misting caused by unstable supply of atomizing liquid, ensuring that the plant roots can continuously obtain a stable supply of mist, which is beneficial to the uniformity and stability of plant growth.

[0042] Furthermore, the mist guide tube 22 is connected to the atomizing chamber 111, and the atomizer 23 is submerged in the atomizing liquid.

[0043] Specifically, the connection between the mist guide tube 22 and the atomizing chamber 111 ensures that the atomized mist can smoothly enter the mist guide tube 22 for delivery. The atomizer 23 is submerged in the atomizing liquid, ensuring that it can fully contact the atomizing liquid, improving atomization efficiency, and also reducing the risk of poor atomization effect caused by air intake, thus ensuring the production of high-quality mist and providing better growth conditions for plant roots.

[0044] Furthermore, the cultivation component 33 includes a plurality of cultivation tanks 331, the top of which is attached to the mounting plate 31.

[0045] Specifically, the cultivation container 331 is the basic unit for cultivating plants. Different sizes can be designed according to the type and size of the plants. In this embodiment, the cultivation container 331 is a cylindrical container. The top of the cultivation container 331 extends outward to form a hanging wall 3311, which is then hung on the slot 311 of the hanging plate 31. Several through holes are provided at the bottom to allow excess liquid to fall or gas to exchange. Multiple cultivation containers 331 can be used to cultivate various plants simultaneously, achieving zoned planting and facilitating personalized management and care for different plants. The method of hanging the container on the hanging plate 31 allows for flexible adjustment of the position and height of the cultivation container 331 according to the growth status and needs of the plants. Furthermore, different cultivation containers 331 can be replaced according to the growth cycle of different plants, improving the versatility and practicality of the device.

[0046] Furthermore, the base 1, the hanging plate 31 and the isolation plate 32 form a cultivation cavity 112, and the bottom of the cultivation bucket 331 is connected to the cultivation cavity 112.

[0047] Specifically, the cultivation chamber 112, enclosed by a base 1, a hanging plate 31, and an isolation plate 32, forms a relatively enclosed space. This provides a stable growth environment for the plants within the cultivation container 331, reducing external environmental interference and helping to create a suitable temperature, humidity, and gas environment, thus promoting healthy plant growth. The connection between the bottom of the cultivation container 331 and the cultivation chamber 112 allows excess aerosol condensate or nutrient solution to flow back into the cultivation chamber 112, forming a circulation system. This liquid return system reduces nutrient solution waste, improves resource utilization, lowers operating costs, and helps maintain the humidity of the cultivation chamber 112, preventing water shortage problems caused by excessive evaporation.

[0048] Furthermore, the side wall of the diversion seat 21 is provided with a plurality of mist outlets 211, which are respectively connected to the diversion seat 21 and the cultivation chamber 112.

[0049] Specifically, multiple mist outlets 211 are evenly distributed on the side wall of the distribution seat 21. Their number and size can be designed according to the number and layout of the cultivation containers 331 to ensure that the mist can enter the cultivation chamber 112 evenly. The setting of multiple mist outlets 211 ensures the uniform distribution of mist, so that the plant roots in each cultivation container 331 can receive sufficient mist supply, avoiding the situation of too much or too little mist in some places, ensuring the consistency of plant growth, and reducing the growth differences caused by uneven mist. The mist outlets 211 connect the distribution seat 21 and the cultivation chamber 112, realizing efficient mist delivery, optimizing mist distribution, improving the performance of the entire aeroponic system, and promoting the balanced development of plant roots.

[0050] Furthermore, the mounting plate 31 is detachably connected to the side wall of the diverter seat 21.

[0051] Specifically, the mounting plate 31 and the side wall of the distribution seat 21 can be detachably connected via buckles 212, screws, or slots 311. In this embodiment, the outer side wall of the distribution seat 21 is provided with buckles 212. Simply press the mounting plate 31 lightly to attach it to the distribution seat 21, and lift the mounting plate 31 to complete the disassembly. This detachable connection method facilitates the maintenance and adjustment of the cultivation unit 3. When it is necessary to clean the cultivation component 33, replace the plants, or repair the mounting plate 31, the mounting plate 31 can be quickly removed without disassembling the entire aeroponic device, reducing maintenance costs and operational difficulty, and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0052] Furthermore, a fixed cylinder 12 is provided inside the base 1, and the mist guide cylinder 22 is sleeved inside the fixed cylinder 12.

[0053] Specifically, the fixed cylinder 12 is installed inside the base 1, and its inner diameter matches the outer diameter of the mist guide cylinder 22. The mist guide cylinder 22 is fitted inside the fixed cylinder 12, which ensures the stability of the position of the mist guide cylinder 22 and prevents it from shaking or shifting during operation. This ensures the installation stability of the mist guide cylinder 22 and avoids affecting the delivery path and efficiency of the mist due to the shaking of the mist guide cylinder 22, thus ensuring the reliability and stability of the entire mist cultivation system.

[0054] Furthermore, the aeroponic device also includes a control component (not shown) to control the atomization unit 2. Through this control component, users can centrally control the equipment, adjust the operating parameters of the aeroponic device according to the plant's growth, improve the automation and ease of operation, reduce manual management costs, and ensure equipment safety.
