Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to an agricultural device, in particular to a plant cultivation system. BACKGROUND
[0002] The conventional seedling raising device mainly sets the seeds of plants in a culture dish or a culture tray with multiple grids, and sets the culture dish or the culture tray on a ventilated shelf to make the plants grow. However, the conventional seedling raising device is not suitable for the cultivation of edible plant seedlings because the edible plant seedlings lack support and are easily damaged by being bent in the conventional seedling raising device, or the edible plant seedlings cannot be eaten because they turn green and harden due to sunlight.
[0003] In order to solve the aforementioned problems, there is a device for cultivating edible plant seedlings, which includes multiple light-tight culture boxes that can be stacked on each other. When used, the culture boxes are vertically stacked, and plant seedlings can be planted in each layer of the culture boxes, which can prevent light and wind problems, and the walls of the culture boxes also provide support for the plant seedlings.
[0004] Due to the vertical stacking, the heat generated by the plant seedlings in each layer of the culture boxes during respiration causes a slight increase in air temperature, and the accumulated hot air may cause the plant seedlings to die from heat stress. In addition, the aforementioned hot air causes the multiple overlapping culture boxes to form a temperature gradient that gradually increases upwardly, so it is necessary to cool the uppermost culture box by watering. However, if the amount of water is too much, it will easily cause water accumulation in the culture boxes located below, which will also affect the overall ventilation function and cause the plant seedlings to grow poorly. In addition, the aforementioned water accumulation surface often accumulates some impurities, and due to surface tension, these impurities are easily accumulated around the drain, making it difficult to drain the accumulated water.
[0005] In summary, the aforementioned device for cultivating plant seedlings still needs to be improved. SUMMARY
[0006] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a plant cultivation system that can improve the situation of water accumulation in the culture box after water cooling and let the water drain smoothly.
[0007] In order to achieve the aforementioned purpose, the plant cultivation system proposed by the utility model comprises:
[0008] a bearing table;
[0009] a plurality of culture boxes that can be stacked on each other in the height direction, each of the culture boxes having:
[0010] a cylindrical wall surrounding an internal space and having a top opening and a bottom opening opposite to each other, the internal space being in communication with the top opening and the bottom opening;
[0011] a bottom tray disposed in the inner space and located at the position of the bottom opening; and
[0012] a top tray movably disposed in the inner space and located between the bottom tray and the top opening;
[0013] a bottom cylinder disposed in the supporting platform, the bottom cylinder being connected to the lowermost one of the plurality of cultivation boxes stacked with each other, the bottom cylinder having:
[0014] a top opening in communication with the bottom opening of the cultivation box connected to the bottom cylinder and the top opening; and
[0015] a side opening laterally penetrating the bottom cylinder and extending in a height direction; and
[0016] a water spraying device having:
[0017] a pump and a water sprayer connected to the pump and disposed above the plurality of cultivation boxes.
[0018] Therefore, the advantage of the present application is that the water can be smoothly discharged from the position of the bottom cylinder after the water is used to dissipate heat from the cultivation boxes, and thus the water cannot be accumulated in the cultivation boxes, and thus the plant seedlings cannot be soaked. In addition, the bottom cylinder can also provide gas exchange between the inside and outside of the cultivation boxes to provide the gas demand for the growth and respiration of the plant seedlings. Further, the bottom cylinder can be connected to the cultivation boxes, and thus the modular design can be used to improve the convenience of the planting operation.
[0019] The plant cultivation system as claimed in the preceding claim, the supporting platform comprises: a bottom plate comprising a setting area and a water channel area, the water channel area being connected to one side of the setting area and being recessed downward relative to the setting area, the water channel area penetrating to form a drain hole; an overflow pipe located in the water channel area, a bottom end of the overflow pipe being connected to the bottom plate and a top end of the overflow pipe extending upward; and a surrounding wall surrounding a periphery of the bottom plate and extending upward.
[0020] The plant cultivation system as claimed in the preceding claim, a cross section direction of the top end of the overflow pipe and an extending direction of the overflow pipe are inclined to each other.
[0021] The plant cultivation system as claimed in the preceding claim, an opening periphery of the top end of the overflow pipe is provided with a notch.
[0022] The plant cultivation system as claimed in the preceding claim, the plant cultivation system further comprises: a water inlet pipe disposed in the supporting platform, a drain opening of the water inlet pipe being located in the setting area.
[0023] The bottom plate of the bearing table is quadrangular, and the water outlet and the overflow pipe are respectively located at opposite ends of one diagonal line.
[0024] The cylinder walls are sealingly connected to each other when the plurality of cultivation boxes are stacked.
[0025] The bearing table contains water, and the pump is a submersible pump and is disposed in the water of the bearing table.
[0026] The bearing table is disposed on the base, and the bearing table further has a plurality of fixing pieces disposed at the periphery of the bottom surface of the bearing table and extending downward, and when the bearing table is disposed on the base, the fixing pieces surround the base.

[0034] The technical means adopted by the present application to achieve the predetermined purposes are further described below in combination with the drawings and the preferred embodiments of the present application.
[0035] First, please refer to Figure 1 The present application provides a plant cultivation system, which comprises a base 10, a bearing table 20, a water inlet pipe 30, a plurality of cultivation boxes 40, a bottom cylinder 50 and a water spraying device 60.
[0036] The base 10 is a base of the bearing table 20, and the bearing table 20 is arranged on the base 10, so that the bearing table 20 can be lifted relative to the ground to avoid dirt, or the user can install other facilities on the bearing table 20, such as installing other drainage pipes under the bearing table 20, but not limited to this. In other embodiments, the base 10 can also be omitted. In addition, in the present embodiment, a pallet is used as the base 10, so that the pallet can be used by a stacking machine or other equipment to facilitate installation or movement of the utility model, but not limited to this.
[0037] Next, please refer to Figures 3 to 6 The bearing table 20 of the utility model has a bottom plate 21, an overflow pipe 22, a surrounding wall 23, and a plurality of fixing pieces 24.
[0038] The bottom plate 21 includes a setting area 211 and a water tank area 212, and the water tank area 212 is connected to one side of the setting area 211. In the present embodiment, the water tank area 212 and the setting area 211 are both rectangular, and the water tank area 212 is connected to one side of the setting area 211 and communicates with each other to form a large rectangle, but not limited to this. The water tank area 212 is recessed downward relative to the setting area 211, so that when the bearing table 20 is filled with water, the water depth of the water tank area 212 is slightly deeper than that of the setting area 211. The water tank area 212 penetrates to form a drain hole 2121, and the drain hole 2121 can be selectively closed or opened. When the drain hole 2121 is closed, the bearing table 20 can hold water, and when the water needs to be changed, the drain hole 2121 can be opened to drain the water at one time, but not limited to this.
[0039] The overflow pipe 22 is located in the water tank area 212. In the present embodiment, the water tank area 212 is long and narrow, and the overflow pipe 22 and the drain hole 2121 are respectively located at opposite ends of the water tank area 212, but not limited to this. The overflow pipe 22 has an opposite bottom end 221 and a top end 222, wherein the bottom end 221 of the overflow pipe 22 is connected to the bottom plate 21, and the top end 222 extends upward, so that when the water in the bearing table 20 is too much, the water can be drained from the overflow pipe 22. In the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 The end face of the top end 222 of the overflow pipe 22 is a slanting section, specifically, the section direction of the top end 222 is inclined to the extension direction of the overflow pipe 22, and the opening direction of the top end 222 on the horizontal plane is preferably towards the setting area 211; so that even if the water surface of the bearing table 20 floats with impurities, it will not accumulate around the opening of the top end 222 of the overflow pipe 22 due to surface tension, and the water and impurities on the water surface can smoothly pass through the overflow pipe 22. But not limited to this, for example, in other embodiments, as shown in Figure 7As shown, the top end 222A of the overflow pipe 22A can not have a beveled cross-section, but instead has a notch 2221A formed in the periphery of the opening, and the notch 2221A is directed toward the setting area 211, so as to achieve a similar effect.
[0040] The surrounding wall 23 surrounds the periphery of the bottom plate 21 and extends upward, thereby serving as a boundary of the support table 20 and also forming a space for containing water together with the bottom plate 21.
[0041] The fixing pieces 24 are arranged on the periphery of the bottom surface of the support table 20, and each of the fixing pieces 24 extends downward. In this embodiment, the fixing pieces 24 are arranged on the bottom surface of the bottom plate 21, and in this embodiment, one fixing piece 24 is arranged at the center of each of the four edges of the bottom plate 21, so that when the support table 20 is arranged on the base 10, the fixing pieces 24 surround the base 10 to prevent the support table 20 from sliding relative to the base 10, but the support table 20 can also not have the fixing pieces 24 in other embodiments.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The water inlet pipe 30 is arranged on the support table 20, and a water outlet 31 of the water inlet pipe 30 is located at the setting area 211. In this embodiment, the bottom plate 21 of the support table 20 is a quadrilateral rectangle, and the water outlet 31 and the overflow pipe 22 are respectively located at opposite ends of one diagonal line, so that the water input by the water inlet pipe 30 can drive the water in the support table 20 to flow in the direction of the diagonal line, which is conducive to the removal of impurities in the water through the overflow pipe 22, and the water that has absorbed heat and has a slightly elevated temperature is taken away from the setting area 211 to assist in heat dissipation, but the water outlet 31 and the overflow pipe 22 can also be located at opposite ends of another diagonal line in other embodiments.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The plurality of cultivation boxes 40 can be stacked on each other in the height direction to form one or more columnar structures. Specifically, each cultivation box 40 has a cylindrical wall 41, a bottom disc 42, and a top disc 43. The cylindrical wall 41 surrounds an internal space and has an opposite top opening 411 and a bottom opening 412, and the internal space is connected to the top opening 411 and the bottom opening 412. In this embodiment, the cylindrical wall 41 is cylindrical, but it can also be square in other embodiments. In addition, in this embodiment, when the plurality of cultivation boxes 40 are stacked on each other in the height direction, the periphery of the top opening 411 of the lower cultivation box 40 is connected to the periphery of the bottom opening 412 of the upper cultivation box 40 between two adjacent cultivation boxes 40, and the cylindrical walls 41 are sealingly connected to each other, but the periphery of the top opening 411 of the lower cultivation box 40 can also be connected to the periphery of the bottom opening 412 of the upper cultivation box 40 in other embodiments.
[0044] The bottom disc 42 is arranged in the inner space and located at the position of the bottom opening 412, and the upper disc 43 is movably arranged in the inner space and located between the bottom disc 42 and the top opening 411. In the embodiment, the bottom disc 42 and the upper disc 43 are both formed with slits penetrating the opposite disc surfaces, cooperating with the cylinder wall 41 sealedly connected with each other, so that the water and air between the stacked cultivation boxes 40 can stably flow in the height direction without affecting the cultivation boxes 40 in other columnar structures, and the cultivation boxes 40 can be arranged in a large amount and densely on the bearing table 20.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bottom cylinder 50 is arranged on the bearing table 20, specifically, arranged in the arrangement area 211 of the bottom plate 21. The bottom cylinder 50 is connected to the lowermost cultivation box 40 in the stacked cultivation boxes 40. In the embodiment, the bottom cylinder 50 can have a plurality of bottom cylinders 50, and the plurality of bottom cylinders 50 are arranged below the plurality of columnar structures stacked by the plurality of cultivation boxes 40, that is, one bottom cylinder 50 is arranged below each columnar structure.
[0046] Specifically, the bottom cylinder 50 has an upper opening 51 and a plurality of side openings 52. The bottom opening 412 of the cultivation box 40 connected with the bottom cylinder 50 and the upper opening 51 are communicated with each other, and in the embodiment, the bottom cylinder 50 and the connected cultivation box 40 are sealedly connected. Each side opening 52 laterally penetrates the cylinder wall 41 of the bottom cylinder 50, and the side opening 52 extends in the height direction to form a strip shape, but is not limited thereto.
[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 The water spraying device 60 has a pump 61 and a water sprayer 62, the water sprayer 62 and the pump 61 are connected and communicated with each other through pipelines, and the water sprayer 62 is arranged above the plurality of cultivation boxes 40. In the embodiment, the bearing table 20 contains water, and the pump 61 is a submerged pump and is arranged in the water of the bearing table 20, specifically, the pump 61 is arranged at the position of the water tank area 212, so that the pump 61 pressurizes the water in the bearing table 20, and then the water is sprayed from above the cultivation boxes 40 through the water sprayer 62, so as to provide the water required for the growth of plant seedlings, and also assist in heat dissipation.
[0048] When the water is sprayed into the uppermost cultivation box 40 through the water spraying device 60, since the bottom disc 42 and the upper disc 43 in the cultivation box 40 have slits, the water sprayed into the cultivation box 40 can flow downward through the bottom disc 42 and the upper disc 43, and finally flow to the bottom cylinder 50 and then flow to the bearing table 20 through the side opening 52. Therefore, the utility model can repeatedly use water irrigation by using the circulating water mode, and reduce the waste of water resources. While the water flows downward in the cultivation box 40, the heat is also downwardly carried, and finally carried to the water accumulated in the bearing table 20. Then, the water flowing into the bearing table 20 through the water inlet pipe 30 further carries the heat away from the arrangement area 211 at the position of the bottom plate 21.
[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figures 5 to 7 When the utility model is used, the water surface W1 of the water contained in the bearing table 20 does not submerge the side opening 52 of the bottom cylinder 50, thereby facilitating the circulation of water vapor and air inside and outside the bottom cylinder 50, and further allowing air to flow into the cultivation box 40 to provide the plant seedlings with breath. Since the cultivation box 40 is supported by the bottom cylinder 50 and is not directly soaked in the water of the bearing table 20, the utility model can use the circulating water to irrigate the cultivation box 40, thereby saving water resources.
[0050] In addition, specifically, the water surface W1 in the bearing table 20 can be maintained at a position about 1 centimeter lower than the lower edge of the top end 222 of the overflow pipe 22. Since the water flowing into the water inlet pipe 30 flows in the diagonal direction, the impurities, such as plant seedling secretions or dirt, etc., which are flushed out of the cultivation box 40, can be flushed toward the overflow pipe 22. Since these impurities are easy to float on the water surface W1, they can be discharged through the overflow pipe 22 to maintain the water quality in the bearing table 20. Since the top end 222, 222A of the overflow pipe 22, 22A has a beveled section or a notch 2221A, it is beneficial to the smooth removal of impurities in the water.
[0051] By means of the water spraying device 60 of the utility model, water is sprayed into the cultivation box 40 located at the uppermost layer, which can effectively remove the heat in the cultivation box 40, eliminate the temperature gradient of the cultivation box 40, and remove the excess water and heat through the bottom cylinder 50, thereby avoiding the poor growth of the plant seedlings.
[0052] Further, the utility model sets multiple groups of cultivation boxes 40 which are mutually pushed and stacked in the bearing table 20, thereby forming a modular design, which is beneficial to the planting and harvesting of plant seedlings, and is also beneficial to the maintenance or replacement of damaged parts of the utility model, without the need to replace the entire system. By means of the utility model, a large number of and dense plant seedlings can be planted, thereby making the planting of plant seedlings more efficient.
[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the utility model in any form. Although the utility model has been disclosed as above, it is not intended to limit the utility model. Any skilled person in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-mentioned technical content without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the utility model, and any simple modification, equivalent change and modification of the above-mentioned embodiment based on the technical essence of the utility model are still within the scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
