Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cultivation equipment technology, specifically to a special cultivation rack for hydroponic strawberry cultivation in plant factories. Background Technology
[0002] Strawberries are perennial herbaceous plants belonging to the genus *Fragaria* of the Rosaceae family. Strawberry berries are fragrant and juicy, containing high levels of vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and other nutrients, making them a popular choice and often referred to as the "Queen of Fruits." They are also a top choice for farmers in western my country seeking to escape poverty. Strawberry cultivation methods are diverse, primarily including open-field cultivation, protected cultivation, and hydroponics. Strawberries have high requirements for soil and environmental conditions. In recent years, soil problems have become increasingly serious, and open-field cultivation alone can no longer meet the demand for strawberries, leading to the increasing use of protected and hydroponics. Artificial light-based plant factories offer advantages such as high-precision control of the production environment, high automation, and minimal or no dependence on natural conditions. They provide strawberries with a more suitable growing environment, reducing labor costs and production risks. Therefore, strawberries produced using hydroponics in plant factories have a higher taste, are cleaner, and are free of pesticide residues, making them highly popular with consumers and often in short supply. Plant factories use LED lights to provide light for the strawberries, unaffected by external light sources; to fully utilize space, they often employ vertical cultivation racks to increase the yield per unit area. Currently, the vertical cultivation racks used in plant factories are tall and bulky, making them difficult to move. Furthermore, to maximize efficiency, the racks are spaced very close together, limiting manual pollination and automated machine inspections. If one rack develops pests or diseases, the infection can easily spread to surrounding healthy strawberry plants. Regarding strawberry growth, root lengths vary at different growth stages, and the root system's water and oxygen requirements also differ. Currently, the nutrient solution levels in commercially available hydroponic strawberry cultivation racks are fixed and cannot be adjusted according to individual needs, which is detrimental to strawberry growth.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a special cultivation rack for hydroponic strawberries in plant factories to solve the problems of the inability to adjust the liquid level in the water tank of the existing cultivation rack and the difficulty in adjusting the position between the cultivation racks.

Each cultivation trough includes a first cultivation trough and a second cultivation trough. A connecting pipe is provided between the first cultivation trough and the second cultivation trough. An L-shaped water level regulating pipe is rotatably installed inside the first cultivation trough and is connected to the connecting pipe. An L-shaped water level regulating pipe is rotatably installed inside the second cultivation trough and is connected to the input end of the conveying pipe.
[0009] The first cultivation trough and the second cultivation trough are provided with cover plates, and multiple cultivation holes are distributed on the cover plates. The cultivation holes on the first cultivation trough and the cultivation holes on the second cultivation trough are arranged alternately.
