Detailed Implementation

[0020] The preferred technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] A cultivation device that facilitates the measurement of plant root temperature, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the system includes an incubator 1, a controller 3, a cultivation box 6, guide columns 7, cultivation plates 20, a temperature sensor 22, a coolant tank 4, cooling pipes 16, and a heating rod 15. Four guide columns 7 are mounted on the incubator 1, and the cultivation box 6 is mounted on the guide columns 7. The temperature sensor 22 is located at the bottom of the cultivation box 6. Multiple cultivation plates 20 are located inside the cultivation box 6, and multiple through holes 21 are evenly distributed on each cultivation plate 20. The cooling pipes 16 and heating rods 15 are located on the bottom surface of the incubator 1, and are spaced apart sequentially. The coolant tank 4 is connected to one side of the incubator 1, and the cooling pipes 16 are connected to the coolant tank 4. The coolant tank 4 contains a solenoid valve. The controller 3 is located at one end of the incubator 1, and is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 22, the coolant tank 4, and the heating rod 15.

[0022] When using this device for plant cultivation, first pour a certain amount of nutrient solution into the cultivation box 1, then place the cultivation box 6 on the cultivation box 1, and then plant the plant to be cultivated in the cultivation plate 20 on the cultivation box 6, with the plant roots exposed through the through holes 21 on the cultivation plate 20. This facilitates the absorption of nutrient solution by the plant roots and also allows the temperature sensor 22 at the bottom of the cultivation box 6 to measure the temperature of the plant roots. When the temperature sensor 22 detects that the temperature of the plant roots is too high, the temperature sensor 22 sends a signal to the controller 3. The controller 3 then controls the solenoid valve in the coolant tank 4 to open, allowing the coolant to flow into the cooling pipe 16. The nutrient solution in the incubator 1 is cooled down. Once the predetermined temperature is reached, the temperature sensor 22 sends a signal to the controller 3. The controller 3 then controls the solenoid valve in the coolant tank 4 to close, ending the cooling process. When the temperature sensor 22 detects that the temperature of the plant roots is too low, it sends a signal to the controller 3. The controller 3 then controls the heating rod 15 to heat the nutrient solution. Once the predetermined temperature is reached, the temperature sensor 22 sends a signal to the controller 3. The controller 3 then controls the heating rod 15 to stop operating, ending the heating process. The temperature of the plant roots is indirectly controlled through the coolant tank 4 and the heating rod 15.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the system also includes a nutrient solution tank 2, a water pump 5, and a connecting pipe 17. The nutrient solution tank 2 is located at one end of the culture box 1, and the water pump 5 is positioned above the nutrient solution tank 2. The inlet of the water pump 5 is connected to the nutrient solution tank 2, and the outlet of the water pump 5 is connected to the connecting pipe 17, which connects to the culture box 1. When the nutrient solution in the culture box 1 is insufficient, the water pump 5 can be activated, pumping the nutrient solution from the nutrient solution tank 2 into the culture box 1 through the connecting pipe 17 to meet the plant's nutrient solution requirements.

[0024] like Figure 3As shown, the incubator 1 also includes a water level sensor 18, which is installed on the inner wall of the incubator 1. Both the water pump 5 and the water level sensor 18 are electrically connected to the controller 3. The water level sensor 18 installed on the inner wall of the incubator 1 is used to detect changes in the nutrient solution. When the nutrient solution in the incubator 1 is too low, the water level sensor 18 sends information to the controller 3. The controller 3 then controls the water pump 5 to start, and the water pump 5 pumps the nutrient solution into the incubator 1. When the nutrient solution in the incubator 1 reaches a certain level, the water level sensor 18 sends information to the controller 3. The controller 3 then controls the water pump 5 to shut down, preventing excessive nutrient solution from overflowing from the incubator 1.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a lid 14, which is provided on one side of the nutrient solution tank 2. When the nutrient solution in the nutrient solution tank 2 is insufficient, a certain amount of nutrient solution can be added to the nutrient solution tank 2 by opening the lid 14 to keep the nutrient solution in the nutrient solution tank 2 sufficient.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a base 8, a support 9, a screw 10, a connecting plate 11, a motor 12, and a slider 13. The base 8 is provided on one side of the incubator 1. The support 9 and the motor 12 are provided on the base 8. The output shaft of the motor 12 is connected to the screw 10. The screw 10 is rotatably connected to the bearing of the support 9. The connecting plate 11 is connected to the screw 10. The connecting plate 11 is connected to the incubator 6. The connecting plate 11 is threadedly connected to the screw 10. The slider 13 is provided on the incubator 6. The guide post 7 is provided with a guide groove that cooperates with the slider 13. The slider 13 is slidably connected to the guide groove.

[0027] When it is necessary to observe the growth of plant roots, the motor 12 can be started. The output shaft of the motor 12 rotates, driving the screw 10 to rotate. Under the constraint of the bracket 9, the screw 10 rotates, driving the connecting plate 11 to move upward. Under the constraint of the guide column 7, the connecting plate 11 drives the cultivation box 6 to move upward, raising the cultivation box 6 to a certain height. At the same time, the height of the cultivation box 6 can also be adjusted by the motor 12. Different heights of the cultivation box 6 affect the depth of the plant roots immersed in the nutrient solution, and the range of air contacted by the plant roots is also different. The motor 12 is used to meet the oxygen requirements of different plants.

[0028] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, it also includes a slide rail 19, a baffle 23, and a limiting block 24. The bottom of the cultivation box 6 is provided with a slide rail 19 that matches the number of cultivation plates 20. The slide rail 19 is slidably connected to the cultivation plate 20. The cultivation box 6 is designed with an opening. The direction of the slide rail 19 is consistent with the opening direction of the cultivation box 6. The baffle 23 is provided at the opening of the cultivation box 6. The limiting block 24 is provided on the baffle 23. The cultivation box 6 is provided with a groove that cooperates with the limiting block 24. The limiting block 24 is slidably connected to the groove.

[0029] When the plants have grown to the point where cultivation can be stopped, the motor 12 can be started to lift the cultivation box 6. Then, the baffle 23 on the cultivation box 6 can be removed. When the baffle 23 is removed, the slider 13 on the baffle 23 will slide out along the slide groove. Without the constraint of the baffle 23, the cultivation plate 20 can slide out along the slide rail 19, allowing for quick transfer of the plants in the cultivation box 6. After the transfer is completed, the cultivation plate 20 is slid back into the slide rail 19 on the cultivation box 6, and the slider 13 on the baffle 23 is slid back into the slide groove. The baffle 23 then re-constrains the movement of the cultivation plate 20, completing the assembly of the cultivation box 6.

[0030] 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. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
