Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of strawberry cultivation technology, and in particular to a vertical strawberry cultivation device. Background Technology

[0002] Strawberries are perennial herbaceous plants belonging to the genus *Fragaria* of the Rosaceae family. Strawberry berries are fragrant, juicy, and rich in nutrients, earning them the nickname "Queen of Fruits." Strawberries are light-loving plants but also relatively shade-tolerant. Strong sunlight results in short, sturdy plants with small, deep-colored, and high-quality fruit. Moderate sunlight produces larger, brighter-colored fruit with lower sugar content and a longer harvest period. Vertical cultivation, also known as three-dimensional cultivation, represents a significant advancement in strawberry planting technology. This method breaks away from the traditional ridge-and-mound planting method, saving space, reducing the incidence of pests and diseases, and increasing yield per unit area.

[0003] Some problems still exist in the use of existing vertical cultivation devices. When growing strawberries, the temperature of the roots has a significant impact on the growth and development of the strawberries. At low temperatures, the activity of the root system decreases significantly, and frost damage may even occur, leading to root death. At higher temperatures, transpiration and respiration are vigorous, but due to the low soil temperature, the growth, nutrient absorption, and water absorption capacity of the roots are relatively poor. Insufficient supply of fertilizer and water affects the growth of the above-ground parts, which in turn affects the activity of the root system. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a vertical strawberry cultivation device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a vertical strawberry planting device. This device regulates the internal temperature of the planting box, thereby regulating the temperature environment around the strawberry roots and providing efficient ventilation to prevent root rot.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a vertical strawberry planting device, comprising a stepped support and a control box, wherein the control box is located at the center of the front end face of the stepped support, a water supply structure is provided on the lower inner wall of the stepped support, and multiple placement slots are arranged in a front-back arrangement on the upper end face of the stepped support, and planting boxes are provided inside the multiple placement slots.

[0006] The planting box includes a base, and multiple planting troughs are arranged horizontally at the center of the upper surface of the base. A permeable mesh is fixedly connected to the lower part of the interior of each of the multiple planting troughs. A partition is sleeved on the lower part of the outer side of each of the multiple planting troughs. Multiple semiconductor heating elements are arranged horizontally on the upper surface of the front partition of each of the multiple planting troughs. Multiple semiconductor cooling elements are arranged horizontally on the upper surface of the rear partition of each of the multiple planting troughs. A temperature sensor is fixedly connected to the center of the front surface of each of the multiple planting troughs.

[0007] The above technical solution controls the activation of the semiconductor heating element or semiconductor cooling element to heat or cool the air at the top of the partition, thereby cooling or heating the planting trough and adjusting the temperature of the planting trough to facilitate temperature adjustment according to the specific growth characteristics of strawberries.

[0014] Furthermore, a first dustproof mesh is fixedly connected to one end of both the first air inlet and the first air outlet.

[0015] The above technical solution filters the air entering the base through two first dustproof nets, preventing dust and foreign objects from entering.

A temperature sensor 316 is fixedly connected to the center of the front surface of each planting trough 302. By controlling the activation of the semiconductor heating elements 308 or the semiconductor cooling elements 309, the air above the partition 307 is heated or cooled, thereby cooling or heating the planting trough 302 and adjusting the temperature of the planting trough 302 to facilitate temperature adjustment according to the specific growth characteristics of strawberries.

[0033] Second air outlets 311 and second air inlets 313 are respectively provided on the two side walls of the front base 301 of the multiple semiconductor heating elements 308 and the two side walls of the rear base 301 of the semiconductor cooling elements 309. A second ventilation fan 310 is fixedly connected inside each of the two second air outlets 311. By controlling the two second ventilation fans 310, air from the cold end of the multiple semiconductor heating elements 308 and air from the hot end of the multiple semiconductor cooling elements 309 are blown out, which facilitates the long-term use of the multiple semiconductor heating elements 308 and multiple semiconductor cooling elements 309. A second dustproof net 312 is fixedly connected to the two second air inlets 313 and the two second air outlets 311 near the end.

[0034] A first air inlet 314 is provided at the center of one side wall of the base 301. A first air outlet 304 is provided on the other side wall of the base 301 on the side of the first air inlet 314.

[0036] A solenoid valve 315 is fixedly connected to the lower center of one side wall of the base 301, which facilitates the discharge of excess water inside the base 301 by opening the solenoid valve 315.

[0037] Working principle: During use, by controlling the activation of the semiconductor heating element 308 or the semiconductor cooling element 309, the air at the top of the partition 307 is heated or cooled, thereby cooling or heating the planting trough 302 and adjusting the temperature of the planting trough 302 to facilitate temperature adjustment according to the specific growth characteristics of strawberries. The temperature is then detected by multiple temperature sensors 316 to provide more precise temperature regulation. Then, the two second ventilation fans 310 are activated, blowing the air from the cold ends of the multiple semiconductor heating elements 308 and the hot ends of the multiple semiconductor cooling elements 309 out of the partition. Outside air enters the base 301 through the second dustproof net 312, thus facilitating the long-term use of the multiple semiconductor heating elements 308 and the multiple semiconductor cooling elements 309.

[0038] Then, by controlling the start of multiple first ventilation fans 305, the multiple first ventilation fans 305 draw out the air inside the base 301. The outside air enters the base 301 after being filtered by the first dustproof net 306, forming an air circulation, reducing the accumulation of water vapor inside the base 301 and its impact on the growth of strawberries. Then, the water inside the water storage tank 201 is transported to the S-shaped pipe 204 by the delivery pump 203, and dripped into the planting troughs 302 through multiple holes for irrigation. The water flows slowly from top to bottom for drip irrigation. When the delivery pump 203 stops, the upper end drips first, and the lower end drips later. The water slowly enters the water storage tank 201, which makes the drip irrigation more uniform.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
