Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of floating board technology, and in particular to a new type of environmentally friendly floating board for capillary hydroponics. Background Technology

[0002] Capillary hydroponics is a soilless cultivation technique that uses capillary action to deliver nutrient solution to the plant roots through a porous substrate or capillaries, providing a continuous and precise supply of water and nutrients to the plant and maintaining its normal physiological functions.

[0003] In capillary hydroponics, floating boards are usually needed to support plants, separate planting areas, and regulate the root environment. Environmentally friendly floating boards for capillary hydroponics are generally made of environmentally friendly biodegradable materials, such as bio-based polymers or natural fiber composite materials. This not only effectively reduces the pollution to the environment after the disposal of traditional materials, but also decomposes in nature, which meets the needs of sustainable agricultural development.

[0004] However, existing environmentally friendly capillary hydroponic floats have the following shortcomings:

[0005] In existing technologies, the cultivation holes of environmentally friendly capillary hydroponics floats are generally spaced at a fixed interval. However, since different plants have different canopy widths, their suitable planting intervals will also vary. Fixed cultivation hole specifications can only be used for specific plants and cannot meet the needs of multiple plants, resulting in poor versatility of the floats and limiting the diversity of hydroponic cultivation.

[0006] Therefore, we propose a new type of environmentally friendly capillary hydroponic floating board to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel environmentally friendly capillary hydroponic float. Utilizing the quick-locking characteristics of the elastic fixing component and the sliding function of the sliding component, the spacing between the three sets of sliders can be flexibly adjusted, thereby changing the lateral spacing between the three sets of cultivation holes. At the same time, by using the transmission principle of the threaded component and the displacement characteristics of the sliding component, the positions of the two sliding plates can be changed, thereby changing the vertical spacing of the three sets of cultivation holes, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a novel environmentally friendly capillary hydroponic float, comprising a float body, a connecting plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the float body, two sets of first sliding grooves formed on the inner wall of the float body, a sliding plate slidably embedded between the inner walls of the two sets of first sliding grooves, a second sliding groove formed on the inner wall of the connecting plate and the two sliding plates, a set of sliders slidably embedded on the inner wall of the three second sliding grooves, a cultivation hole formed at the top of the three sets of sliders, a bidirectional screw threaded between the inner walls of the two sliding plates, a knob fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the bidirectional screw, multiple positioning holes formed at the top of the connecting plate and the two sliding plates, a set of mounting brackets fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate and the two sliding plates, and positioning rods movably inserted into the inner walls of the three sets of mounting brackets.

[0009] Preferably, the outer wall of each of the three sets of positioning rods is movably fitted with a first return spring, and the top of each of the three sets of positioning rods is fixedly connected with a first pull plate.

[0010] Preferably, the outer wall of the float plate body has two slots, and the outer wall of the float plate body is fixedly connected to two blocks.

[0011] Preferably, a limiting groove is provided on the top of each of the two card blocks, and two fixing brackets are fixedly connected to the top of the float body.

[0012] Preferably, movable rods are movably inserted into the inner walls of both fixed frames, and a second pull plate is fixedly connected to the top of each of the two movable rods.

[0013] Preferably, a second return spring is movably sleeved on the outer wall of both movable rods.

[0014] Preferably, a limit block is fixedly connected to the bottom of both movable rods.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, through the interaction of the various components of the device, the quick-locking characteristic of the elastic fixing component, combined with the sliding function of the sliding component, can flexibly adjust the distance between the three sets of sliders, thereby changing the lateral distance between the three sets of cultivation holes. At the same time, by using the transmission principle of the threaded component and the displacement characteristics of the sliding component, the position of the two sliding plates can be changed, thereby changing the distance between the three sets of cultivation holes in the vertical dimension. In this way, the distance between adjacent cultivation holes can be precisely and flexibly adjusted according to the crown width of different plants, so that the float board for capillary hydroponics can fully meet the growth space requirements of a variety of different plants.

[0023] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0025] Example 1, as shown in the attached document Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 4As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a novel environmentally friendly capillary hydroponic float, comprising a float body 1, a connecting plate 2 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the float body 1, two sets of first sliding grooves 3 formed on the inner wall of the float body 1, a sliding plate 4 slidably embedded between the inner walls of the two sets of first sliding grooves 3, a second sliding groove 5 formed on the inner walls of the connecting plate 2 and the two sliding plates 4, a set of sliders 6 slidably embedded on the inner walls of the three second sliding grooves 5, and a cultivation hole 7 formed at the top of each of the three sets of sliders 6. A two-way lead screw 8 is threaded between the inner walls of the two sliding plates 4. A knob 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the two-way lead screw 8. Multiple positioning holes 10 are provided on the top of the connecting plate 2 and the two sliding plates 4. A set of mounting brackets 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 2 and the two sliding plates 4. Positioning rods 12 are movably inserted into the inner walls of the three sets of mounting brackets 11. A first return spring 13 is movably sleeved on the outer walls of the three sets of positioning rods 12. A first pull plate 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the three sets of positioning rods 12.

[0026] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment 1 is as follows: When it is necessary to adjust the lateral spacing between the three sets of cultivation holes 7 according to the canopy width of different plants, the operator first pulls the three sets of first pull plates 14 respectively. The action of the first pull plates 14 causes the positioning rods 12 to move upward, so that the positioning rods 12 disengage from the positioning holes 10, thereby releasing the locking state of the corresponding sliders 6. At this time, the sliders 6 can be moved laterally to adjust the lateral position of the cultivation holes 7. By adjusting the position of the three sets of sliders 6 respectively, the lateral spacing between the three sets of cultivation holes 7 can be changed to adapt to the lateral growth space requirements of different plants. Subsequently, when adjusting the vertical spacing of the three sets of cultivation holes 7, the user needs to turn the knob 9. The rotation of the knob 9 drives the bidirectional lead screw 8 to operate. During the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 8, the two sliding plates 4 move in opposite directions, thereby changing the vertical spacing of the three sets of cultivation holes 7 to match the vertical extension requirements of the plant crown. In this way, the horizontal and vertical spacing between the three sets of cultivation holes 7 can be flexibly and precisely adjusted according to the size of the plant crown, thereby providing the most suitable growth space layout for different plants and effectively improving the planting effect and plant growth quality of capillary hydroponics.

[0027] Example 2, as Figure 2-4 As shown, the outer wall of the float body 1 has two slots 15, and the outer wall of the float body 1 is fixedly connected to two blocks 16. The top of each block 16 has a limit groove 17. The top of the float body 1 is fixedly connected to two brackets 18. The inner wall of each bracket 18 is movably inserted with a movable rod 19. The top of each movable rod 19 is fixedly connected to a second pull plate 20. The outer wall of each movable rod 19 is movably sleeved with a second return spring 21. The bottom of each movable rod 19 is fixedly connected to a limit block 22.

[0028] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment 2 is as follows: When the planting area of ​​the hydroponic system is large and a modular floating board is required to adapt to the site size, according to the splicing position, the operator first pulls the corresponding second pull plate 20. The pulling action of the second pull plate 20 drives the movable rod 19 and the limiting block 22 to move upward synchronously, so that the limiting block 22 is disengaged from the corresponding slot 15. During this process, the movement of the limiting block 22 compresses the corresponding second return spring 21. Subsequently, the locking block 16 of the adjacent floating board body 1 is precisely inserted into the corresponding slot. When the card block 16 is fully embedded in the card slot 15, the position of the limiting block 22 corresponds exactly to the limiting groove 17. Using the elastic restoring force of the second return spring 21, the limiting block 22 is quickly inserted into the corresponding limiting groove 17, thereby creating a stable tenon and mortise connection structure between two adjacent floating plate bodies 1. This structure ensures that the floating plate bodies 1 maintain a tight and stable connection after splicing, thus effectively guaranteeing the overall structural strength and stability of the floating plate during large-scale hydroponic planting and meeting the needs of large-scale hydroponic operations.

[0029] The working principle of the entire device is as follows: During use, depending on the canopy width of different plants, the lateral spacing of the three sets of cultivation holes 7 needs to be adjusted first. Specifically, the user pulls the three sets of first pull plates 14 respectively. As the first pull plates 14 move upwards, the positioning rods 12 rise synchronously, causing the positioning rods 12 to completely disengage from the positioning holes 10, thereby releasing the constraint on the corresponding sliders 6. At this point, the sliders 6 can be moved freely laterally, causing the cultivation holes 7 to change position in the horizontal direction. By adjusting the positions of the three sets of sliders 6 separately, the spacing between the three sets of cultivation holes 7 can be flexibly changed. The horizontal spacing is adjusted to precisely adapt to the different needs of various plants in terms of horizontal growth space. Next, the vertical spacing of the three sets of cultivation holes 7 needs to be adjusted according to the plant's crown width. The user rotates knob 9, which transmits the rotation to the bidirectional lead screw 8, driving it to rotate synchronously. Since the outer wall of the bidirectional lead screw 8 is threaded with two sliding plates 4, the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 8 can drive the two sliding plates 4 to move smoothly in opposite directions, thereby changing the vertical spacing of the three sets of cultivation holes 7 to match the vertical expansion needs of the plant's crown. When faced with a large hydroponic planting area requiring the use of modular floating platforms to adapt to the site size, the operator should select and pull the appropriate number of second pull plates 20 according to the actual splicing requirements. During the pulling process, the second pull plates 20 cause the movable rod 19 and the limiting block 22 to move upwards synchronously, completely disengaging the limiting block 22 from its corresponding slot 15. During this process, the movement of the limiting block 22 applies pressure to the corresponding second return spring 21, causing it to undergo elastic deformation and store elastic potential energy. Subsequently, the locking blocks 16 of the adjacent floating plate body 1 are accurately and completely inserted. Inside the corresponding slot 15, when the locking block 16 is fully in place, the position of the limiting block 22 precisely corresponds to the position of the limiting groove 17. With the help of the elastic restoring force converted from the elastic potential energy stored in the second return spring 21, the limiting block 22 is quickly and firmly locked into the corresponding limiting groove 17. This causes the two adjacent floating plate bodies 1 to form a stable tenon and mortise connection structure. The formation of this structure ensures that the floating plate bodies 1 always maintain a tight and stable connection after splicing, thus providing a solid and reliable structural support for large-scale hydroponic planting operations.

Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
