Detailed Implementation

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-5 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a three-dimensional vertical planting device, including: a support base 1, the support base 1 having a water return trough 11, the water return trough 11 being connected to a water return pipe 2; a planting frame 3 mounted on the support base 1, the planting frame 3 having at least one side having a plurality of planting troughs 8 arranged longitudinally, the planting troughs 8 having openings facing the inside of the three-dimensional vertical planting device for crop roots to pass through; a fertilizer and water spraying device mounted on the planting frame 3, the fertilizer and water spraying device including a fertilizer and water storage tank 100, a fertilizer and water delivery pipe 120, branch pipes 4, and spray heads 6, the fertilizer and water storage tank being connected to the fertilizer and water delivery pipe 120, the fertilizer and water delivery pipe 120 being connected to a plurality of branch pipes 4, the branch pipes 4 being connected to a plurality of spray heads 6 facing the openings through spray pipes 5; and a circulation treatment device 130 connected to the water return pipe, the circulation treatment device 130 being simultaneously connected to the fertilizer and water storage tank 100 to form a fertilizer and water circulation loop.

[0029] The support base 1 is used to install the planting frame 3 and support all crops on it. It is equipped with a return water trough 11 to collect fertilizer water falling from above. The fertilizer water flowing into the trough enters the return water pipe 2, which is connected to a circulation treatment device. The circulation treatment device performs sterilization, disinfection, and filtration to achieve recycling. Planting troughs 8 are provided on at least one side of the planting frame 3, preferably on both sides, with multiple planting troughs 8 arranged longitudinally on each side. This forms a three-dimensional planting structure and reduces the occupancy of lateral space. The planting troughs 8 are trough-shaped structural components, fixed to the planting frame 3, for example, by bolts, which facilitates both fixing and disassembly. The opening of the planting trough 8 allows the roots and stems of crops such as onions to protrude, and the spray from the fertilizer spraying device can cover the exposed roots and stems, thus facilitating root atomization absorption. The fertilizer spraying device is used to spray fertilizer onto crops. The atomized form reduces the amount of water and fertilizer used. The fertilizer storage container 100 can be either a barrel or a canister, with no limitation. The fertilizer storage container 100 stores the fertilizer solution and a pump delivers it to the fertilizer delivery pipe 120. The fertilizer delivery pipe 120 then delivers the fertilizer solution to each branch pipe 4, ensuring that the fertilizer solution reaches each layer or different planting trough 8. Finally, the spray nozzles 6 spray the crops in the planting trough 8, providing them with nutrients. The recycling treatment device 130 sterilizes and filters the fertilizer solution received by the return water tank 11 before returning it to the fertilizer storage container 100 for reuse. The recycling treatment device 130 can be a high-temperature sterilization device, heating the wastewater to above 70°C and maintaining it for 30 minutes, or boiling it for 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, it can have an internal ultraviolet sterilization lamp for disinfection.

[0030] Through the above technical solutions, the vertical planting frame 3 can maximize the use of limited space by vertically stacking planting, enabling more crops to be planted at high density on the same land area, increasing planting yield. Furthermore, aeroponics can significantly reduce the amount of water and fertilizer used. At the same time, through the fertilizer and water circulation loop, water and fertilizer resources can be recycled after disinfection and sterilization, saving costs.

[0031] In one embodiment, the planting frame 3 is arranged in layers of planting troughs 8, and each layer of planting trough 8 is provided with a branch pipe 4. The spray head 6 on the branch pipe 4 sprays to cover the planting trough 8 of the layer.

[0032] The planting troughs 8 are arranged in multiple layers to form a vertical planting structure. Each layer is equipped with branch pipes 4 to transport fertilizer and water. The spray head 6 connected to the branch pipes 4 can cover the crops in the planting troughs 8 facing the side and spray intermittently onto the roots of the plants. The nutrients in the fertilizer and water are absorbed by the plant roots and continue to grow until they reach the harvest requirements. The excess spray water absorbed by the plant roots condenses into water droplets and falls into the return water tank 11 at the bottom.

[0033] Furthermore, to prevent water vapor from overflowing during spraying, the bottom end of the baffle plate 9 is connected to the top of the side wall of the planting trough 8 near the inner side of the vertical planting equipment. This baffle plate 9 blocks water vapor from overflowing and is obliquely positioned above the planting trough 8, thus preventing water vapor from overflowing during spraying while allowing the crops to grow outwards.

[0034] In the embodiments of this application, the planting frame is installed in a closed planting space, which is equipped with a fresh air system and a gas concentration detector, and the fresh air system and the gas concentration detector are connected to a controller.

[0035] By creating a closed growing environment, water evaporation can be significantly reduced, saving water resources. A fresh air system allows for air exchange within the growing space, providing oxygen to the crops. Specifically, this system includes fan coil units installed at the top and bottom of the growing frame 3. These fans can circulate fresh air and provide cooling or heating, thus facilitating both temperature control and ventilation, which is more conducive to crop growth. Gas concentration detectors can be used to monitor the concentration of gases such as carbon dioxide and oxygen within the growing space, and the fresh air system can be adjusted based on this data.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the fertilizer and water storage device 100, the fertilizer and water storage device 100 includes a fertilizer and water storage tank, an electric heating device is provided in the inner wall of the fertilizer and water storage tank, a temperature detection device is provided in the fertilizer and water storage tank, and the electric heater and the temperature monitoring device are connected to a controller.

[0037] The fertilizer storage tank stores fertilizer solution, which is heated to a suitable temperature by means of electric heating elements to overcome the influence of ambient temperature and facilitate plant absorption. Temperature detection devices are used to monitor the temperature of the fertilizer solution, allowing for precise heating to the preset temperature. All of the aforementioned electrical components are controlled by a controller.

[0038] To further detect the nutrients in the recycled fertilizer solution, the fertilizer solution storage tank is also equipped with a water quality sensor and a water level sensor, which are connected to the controller.

[0039] In this way, the nutrient content in the fertilizer solution can be easily detected by the water quality sensor. Based on the nutrient content, the fertilizer solution can be easily mixed. That is, when the nutrient content is significantly reduced or greatly decreased, the fertilizer solution can be mixed to restore its fertility and then continue to provide nutrients.

[0040] Specifically, the return water trough 11 is a V-shaped trough, and the bottom of the return water trough 11 is provided with a groove 12, and the groove 12 is provided with a return water pipe 2. The V-shaped trough can easily collect the fallen fertilizer water and collect it centrally through the return water pipe. The top of the return water pipe can be grooved for collection, or a connected water collection component can be set, such as a trough-shaped water collection component adapted to the groove 12, whose bottom is connected to the return water pipe through a connecting pipe, thus realizing the collection of fertilizer water.

[0041] In the specific implementation process, the support base 1 is a cement base, and the planting frame 3 is a steel structure frame. This allows the planting equipment to have better strength and stability. The branch pipe 4 can be installed at the top of each layer through the internal support frame 7. An oxygen supply pipe 10 is also provided at the top of the planting frame 3.

[0042] The controller can be a PLC controller, which can be programmed in a conventional way. Through certain programming, the execution logic can be set, so that the above-mentioned electrical components can work automatically, which is more conducive to realizing automation.

[0043] The vertical planting equipment according to the embodiments of this application has the following advantages:

[0044] 1. High efficiency in space utilization: This vertical planting equipment maximizes the use of limited space through its vertical stacked growth structure, enabling the high-density planting of more crops on the same land area, significantly increasing the yield per unit area.

[0045] 2. Resource conservation: This vertical planting equipment adopts aeroponics, which greatly reduces the amount of water and fertilizer used. At the same time, the water and fertilizer resources are recycled and reused after being disinfected and sterilized through a circulation system, thus saving precious water and fertilizer resources.

[0046] 3. Improve yield, quality and efficiency: This vertical farming equipment optimizes the spatial layout and precisely controls environmental factors (such as light, temperature, humidity, water and fertilizer, oxygen concentration and carbon dioxide concentration) to enable crops to grow under optimal conditions, thereby greatly improving yield, quality and efficiency.

[0047] 4. Environmentally friendly and energy-saving: This vertical planting equipment adopts a closed, outward-growing system, which can significantly reduce water evaporation, save water resources, and reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, making it more environmentally friendly. Furthermore, by precisely controlling environmental factors, it reduces greenhouse gas emissions, further minimizing its impact on the environment.

[0048] 5. High adaptability: This vertical farming system is suitable for various environmental conditions, including areas with limited resources or poor environmental conditions. Aeroponics systems are particularly well-suited for these situations, providing a stable growing environment.

[0049] 6. Convenient Management: This vertical farming system uses intelligent control to precisely manage environmental factors such as light, temperature, and humidity, making crop management and monitoring more convenient. Farmers can monitor and adjust the growing environment in real time through intelligent equipment to ensure crops grow under optimal conditions.

[0050] Planting is achieved by placing seedlings in a three-dimensional planting trough 8. Water and fertilizer are intermittently sprayed onto the exposed roots of the crop through a fertilizer and fertilizer delivery pipe 120, branch pipe 4, and spray head 6. The nutrients in the water and fertilizer are absorbed by the plant roots, allowing the plant to grow continuously until it reaches harvest requirements. Excess spray water absorbed by the plant roots condenses into droplets that fall into the return water tank 11 at the bottom. The water then flows back through the return water pipe to the sterilized compound nutrient solution. Once the solution reaches the specified standards, it is pumped back into the fertilizer and fertilizer delivery pipe 120 by the circulation pump 110, thus creating a cycle. To prevent water vapor from overflowing during spraying, baffles 9 are installed at the top and sides to prevent water vapor from overflowing during spraying.

[0051] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that the above preferred embodiments should not be considered as limitations on this utility model, and the scope of protection of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims. For those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
