Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of plant cultivation technology, and in particular to an environmentally controllable hydroponic plant factory. Background Technology
[0002] During the use of nutrient solutions, plant roots secrete metabolic products such as mucus and shed cells, which mix into the nutrient solution. Simultaneously, over time, various microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and algae, may proliferate in the nutrient solution. Algae can multiply rapidly in the presence of light, not only consuming nutrients in the solution but also potentially adhering to the inner walls of the pipes, obstructing their flow. Traditional hydroponic plant factories with controlled environments can meet basic planting needs, but their circulating outlet pipes have weak filtration capabilities, leading to root diseases, nutrient imbalances in the solution, and environmental impact.
[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent documents (authorization announcement number CN222396524U), indicating that this utility model relates to the field of hydroponic cultivation technology and discloses an environmentally controllable hydroponic plant factory, including a main shell. The front of the main shell has a groove, and a push handle is slidably connected inside the groove. A scale strip is fixedly connected to the front of the main shell. A placement groove is formed at the top of the main shell, and a product baffle is fixedly connected inside the placement groove. A water inlet is fixedly connected to the right side of the main shell, and a water outlet is fixedly connected to the left side of the main shell. This invention features a sliding handle inside a groove on the main body shell, allowing it to slide at the bottom of the water storage tank. A scale strip facilitates monitoring of the water level in multiple tanks. When adding water, the bottom inlet is shielded to prevent prolonged water inflow into the first tank, which could cause root rot and shorten the lifespan of the hydroponic plants. While this environmentally controlled hydroponic plant factory can meet basic planting needs, its weak filtration capacity in the circulating outlet pipe can lead to root diseases, nutrient imbalances in the nutrient solution, and environmental impact. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an environmentally controllable hydroponic plant factory to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an environmentally controllable hydroponic plant factory, comprising a hydroponic plant rack for placement within the hydroponic plant factory, a filter box provided on the side of the hydroponic plant rack, a box cover installed on the top of the filter box, a fixing ring welded to the inner bottom wall of the filter box, a rotating column rotatably connected inside the fixing ring, a driven gear installed at the end of the rotating column, a rotating disk connected to the side of the driven gear away from the rotating column, a hollow column welded to the end of the rotating disk away from the driven gear, a spring connected inside the hollow column, a contact point installed on the inner bottom wall of the hollow column, a movable column connected to the end of the spring away from the rotating disk, a connecting plate installed on the top of the movable column, and a filter separation bucket for controlling the environment installed on the top of the connecting plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] This environmentally controlled hydroponic plant factory benefits from the structure of the filtration separation tank. The motor drives the active and driven gears to rotate, the driven gear drives the rotating column to rotate within the fixed ring, the driven gear drives the rotating disk and hollow column to rotate, and the hollow column drives the moving column and filtration separation tank to rotate, accelerating the filtration of the nutrient solution mixture in the filtration separation tank.

[0023] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.
[0024] The connection method can be any existing method, such as bonding, welding, or bolting, depending on the actual needs.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 The illustration shows an environmentally controllable hydroponic plant factory, including a hydroponic plant rack 1 for placement within the factory. A filter box 2 is mounted on the side of the rack 1, containing nutrient solution for hydroponic cultivation. A cover 201 is installed on the top of the filter box 2. A fixing ring 203 is welded to the inner bottom wall of the filter box 2. A rotating column 3 is rotatably connected inside the fixing ring 203. A driven gear 301 is mounted at the end of the rotating column 3. A rotating disk 302 is connected to the side of the driven gear 301 away from the rotating column 3. The rotating disk 302 is located away from the driven gear. A hollow column 303 is welded to one end of the wheel 301. A spring 304 is connected inside the hollow column 303. A contact point 305 is installed on the inner bottom wall of the hollow column 303. A moving column 306 is connected to the end of the spring 304 away from the rotating disk 302. A connecting plate 307 is installed on the top of the moving column 306. A filter separation tank 308 for controlling the environment is installed on the top of the connecting plate 307. A support plate 4 is welded to the vertical inner wall of the filter box 2. A motor 401 is installed on the side of the support plate 4. The motor 401 is a small waterproof motor, such as the model manufactured by Ganzhou Shengfu Motor Co., Ltd. The SF60H12V-102 waterproof DC motor has a waterproof rating of IP68. This type of motor is compact. The output shaft of motor 401 is connected to a drive gear 402 via a coupling. The outer circumference of the drive gear 402 meshes with the outer circumference of the driven gear 301. The nutrient solution enters the filtration separation tank 308 through the outlet pipe 103. The filtration separation tank 308 filters out microorganisms and plant root debris contained in the nutrient solution. When motor 401 is turned on, it drives the drive gear 402 and the driven gear 301 to rotate. The driven gear 301 then drives the rotating column 3 to rotate in a fixed position. The fixed ring 203 rotates, and the driven gear 301 drives the rotating disk 302 and the hollow column 303 to rotate. The hollow column 303 drives the moving column 306 and the filter separation tank 308 to rotate, accelerating the filtration of the nutrient solution mixture in the filter separation tank 308. After a period of time, the permeability of the filter separation tank 308 decreases, and the weight of the filter separation tank 308 increases. The filter separation tank 308 presses down on the connecting disk 307 and the moving column 306. The moving column 306 presses down on the spring 304. Finally, the moving column 306 contacts the contact point 305 and sends a signal to remind personnel to clean the filter separation tank 308.
[0026] A fixed support plate 5 is installed on the vertical inner wall of the filter box 2. A guide plate 501 is connected to the side of the fixed support plate 5. A guide ring 309 is connected to the vertical inner wall of the fixed support plate 5. The filter separation tank 308 rotates inside the guide ring 309. The filtered nutrient solution returns to the bottom of the filter box 2 through the fixed support plate 5 and the guide plate 501.
[0027] The top of the hydroponic plant rack 1 is equipped with a hydroponic planting tube 101 for the flow of nutrient solution. Multiple planting holes 102 are provided on the outer periphery of the hydroponic planting tube 101. Hydroponic plants are planted in the planting holes 102. The nutrient solution in the hydroponic planting tube 101 provides nutrients for the plants. A water pump exchanges the nutrient solution in the filter box 2 with the hydroponic planting tube 101.
[0028] One end of the hydroponic planting tube 101 is connected to the liquid outlet tube 103, and the other end of the hydroponic planting tube 101 is connected to the liquid inlet tube 104. The bottom of the liquid inlet tube 104 is provided with multiple liquid inlet holes 202, and the liquid finally enters the liquid inlet tube 104 and the hydroponic planting tube 101 through the liquid inlet holes 202 to participate in hydroponic planting.
[0029] Working principle
[0030] This environmentally controlled hydroponic plant factory operates by planting hydroponic plants in planting holes 102. Nutrient solution in the hydroponic planting tubes 101 provides nutrients to the plants. A water pump exchanges the nutrient solution in the filter box 2 with that in the hydroponic planting tubes 101. The nutrient solution then enters the filtration separation tank 308 through the outlet pipe 103. The filtration separation tank 308 filters out microorganisms and plant root debris from the nutrient solution. The motor 401 is then activated, driving the drive gear 402 and driven gear 301 to rotate. The driven gear 301 drives the rotating column 3 to rotate within the fixed ring 203, which in turn drives the rotating disk 302 and the hollow column 303 to rotate. 03 drives the rotating column 306 and the filter separation tank 308 to rotate, accelerating the filtration of the nutrient solution mixture in the filter separation tank 308. The filtered nutrient solution returns to the bottom of the filter box 2 through the fixed support plate 5 and the guide plate 501, and finally enters the inlet pipe 104 and the hydroponic planting pipe 101 through the inlet hole 202 to participate in hydroponic planting. After a period of time, the passability of the filter separation tank 308 decreases and the weight of the filter separation tank 308 increases. The filter separation tank 308 presses down the connecting plate 307 and the rotating column 306. The rotating column 306 presses down the spring 304. Finally, the rotating column 306 contacts the contact point 305 and sends a signal to remind personnel to clean the filter separation tank 308.
