Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of hydroponic devices for melon seedlings, specifically a hydroponic device for muskmelon seedlings. Background Technology

[0002] Melon seedlings are the seedlings that grow to a certain stage after the melon seeds germinate. This is an important stage in the melon planting process. During the initial growth of melon seedlings, they need to be cultivated to ensure stable and rapid growth and improve the survival rate in the later stages.

[0003] In the current cultivation process, melon seedlings are usually grown hydroponically, with the roots immersed in a nutrient solution to ensure sufficient absorption and stable growth. However, during actual cultivation, as the seedlings grow and absorb nutrients, and due to temperature variations, the nutrient solution level in the cultivation box will drop. Since staff cannot constantly monitor the cultivation box, it's easy for them to fail to replenish the nutrient solution in time when the level drops, thus affecting the cultivation effect and resulting in poor actual performance. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a hydroponic device for melon seedlings, which solves the problem that during the cultivation process, as the seedlings continuously absorb nutrients and evaporate due to temperature changes, the liquid level in the cultivation box drops, making it impossible for staff to monitor the liquid level in the cultivation box at any time, resulting in nutrient deficiency in the seedlings and affecting their normal growth and cultivation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A cultivation box is included, with a cultivation plate movably connected inside. Several evenly distributed cultivation grooves are formed on the upper surface of the cultivation plate.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: by using a water pump, external nutrient solution can be connected through a connecting pipe, and the nutrient solution can be delivered through the water inlet pipe and the nutrient solution can be delivered into the water inlet tank cultivation box.

[0016] In order to discharge excess nutrient solution;

[0017] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the side of the cultivation box away from the water inlet pipe, and a control valve is fixedly connected to the drain pipe;

[0018] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: by using the control valve, the opening and closing of the drain pipe can be flexibly controlled, and in conjunction with the use of the drain pipe, excess nutrient solution in the cultivation tank can be discharged, ensuring that the liquid level of nutrient solution in the cultivation box is appropriate.

[0019] In order to allow the roots of the seedlings to extend downwards smoothly;

[0020] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: several evenly distributed water-permeable holes are provided on the bottom wall of the cultivation tank;

A liquid level sensor 16 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the adjusting block 15, and the lower surface of the liquid level sensor 16... A liquid level probe 17 is fixedly connected. A positioning frame 18 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the water box 14. A forward and reverse motor 19 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the positioning frame 18. A screw rod 20 is connected to the output end of the forward and reverse motor 19. A connecting frame 21 is screwed onto the outer wall of the screw rod 20. A connecting rod 22 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 21. A limit block 23 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 22 away from the connecting frame 21. The limit block 23 is slidably connected to the water box 14. The limit block 23 is fixedly connected to the adjusting block 15. A limit groove 24 adapted to the limit block 23 is opened on one side of the water box 14. The limit groove 24 can limit the limit block 23, ensuring the stability of the limit block 23. Under the action of the forward and reverse motor 19, the screw rod 20 and the connecting frame 21 are screwed together, thereby connecting... The frame 21, along with the connecting rod 22 and the limiting block 23, allows for flexible lifting and lowering adjustments, moving the liquid level probe 17 to a suitable position. Through the use of the liquid level sensor 16 and the liquid level probe 17, the liquid level of the nutrient solution in the cultivation box 1 is monitored. A limiting frame 31 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cultivation box 1, located on the lower end face of the cultivation plate 11. The limiting frame 31 supports the cultivation plate 11. Each of the four corners of the limiting frame 31 has a docking groove 41, within which a docking post 42 is movably connected. The docking post 42 is fixedly connected to the cultivation plate 11. With the use of the four docking grooves 41 and their corresponding docking posts 42, a stable connection can be established between the cultivation plate 11 and the limiting frame 31, ensuring sufficient nutrient solution for the cultivation plate 11 during use. The cultivation box 1 is stable. A water inlet trough 51 is provided on one side, with a water inlet pipe 52 fixedly connected to the cultivation box 1. A water pump 53 is fixedly connected to the end of the water inlet pipe 52 furthest from the cultivation box 1, and a connecting pipe 54 is fixedly connected to the end of the water pump 53 furthest from the water inlet pipe 52.

Then, the seeds to be cultivated are placed in the cultivation trough 12. With the use of the permeable holes 71, the seeds are allowed to fully contact the nutrient solution, enabling germination and root development. The roots of the seedlings extend downwards through the permeable holes 71. During use, the operation of the forward and reverse motors 19 causes the spiral rod 20 to connect with the connecting frame 21. The connecting frame 21, along with the connecting rod 22 and the limiting block 23, is screwed together, allowing the connecting frame 21 to be raised and lowered. This, in turn, causes the limiting block 23 to be raised and lowered along with the liquid level sensor 16 and the liquid level probe 17 on the connecting block. The liquid level probe 17 is then moved to a suitable position to monitor the nutrient solution level in the cultivation box 1. When the liquid level is low, the water pump 53 is used to pump the nutrient solution into the cultivation box 1 through the connecting pipe 54 and the inlet pipe 52, thus completing the entire process of using the melon seedling hydroponic device.
