Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seedling cultivation technology, and in particular to a simple hydroponic device for cuttings. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of modern agriculture and home gardening, hydroponics, as a soilless cultivation method, has gradually gained widespread attention due to its advantages such as saving water resources, improving crop growth efficiency, and reducing pests and diseases. In the traditional hydroponic cutting process, a simple container is usually used to hold nutrient solution, and the cuttings are directly inserted into it for cultivation. The traditional hydroponic operation is not convenient. It requires manually pouring out the old solution and then pouring it in, which is cumbersome and easy to cause liquid splashing. Secondly, the cuttings lack an effective fixing device and are prone to floating or tilting in the nutrient solution, affecting the rooting effect. When multiple plants are cultivated at the same time, the space utilization rate is low, which is not conducive to efficient arrangement in small spaces. Although some existing hydroponic devices have certain automation functions, their complex structure and high cost make it difficult to lay them out on a large scale.
[0003] Therefore, a simple hydroponic device for cuttings is being developed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the inconvenience of traditional hydroponics, such as the need for manual pouring when changing the water, the lack of good fixing measures for propagating cuttings, and the complex structure and high cost of existing equipment, this utility model provides a simple hydroponic device for propagating cuttings.
[0005] The technical implementation scheme of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A simple hydroponic propagation device for cuttings includes a waste liquid basin. A base is connected to the upper middle part of the waste liquid basin, and a first mounting column is connected to the base. Four conical mounting brackets are connected to the first mounting column. The conical mounting brackets are stepped, which helps to save space and provides sufficient growth space. Each conical mounting bracket is slidably connected to a first handle, and each first handle is connected to a hydroponic tank. A drainage board is placed at the bottom of each hydroponic tank, and four counterweights are connected to each drainage board. Each frame is connected to a pre-prepared liquid tank, which is slidably connected to the adjacent hydroponic tank. The hydroponic tanks are all located inside the adjacent pre-prepared liquid tanks. Each conical mounting frame is connected to a second mounting column on its outer side. Each second mounting column is connected to a limit block, and each limit block has a rotatable top frame. Each rotatable top frame is connected to the adjacent hydroponic tank in contact. Each rotatable top frame and the adjacent limit block are engaged with a pin. The first mounting column is equipped with a cutting mechanism for fixing the cuttings.
[0007] Optionally, the cutting mechanism includes mounting rings, and four mounting rings are connected to the first mounting post. The mounting rings are all located on the upper side of adjacent hydroponic tanks. Each mounting ring is slidably connected to two corresponding second handles. Cutting plates are connected to the inner side of adjacent second handles. Adjacent cutting plates interact with each other. Five slots are opened between adjacent cutting plates. Springs are connected between each cutting plate and the adjacent mounting ring. The springs are all sleeved on the adjacent second handles.
[0008] Optionally, it also includes a wrist guard mechanism, which includes a sliding block. The sliding block is slidably connected to the conical mounting bracket, and a water baffle is connected to the lower side of the sliding block.
[0009] Optionally, the first pull handle is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0010] Optionally, each of the mounting rings is provided with ribs for reinforcement.
[0011] Optionally, all of the water baffles are arc-shaped structures.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0013] This invention uses a pre-cast annular liquid tank in conjunction with a hydroponic tank, allowing for direct injection of new liquid after a liquid change, eliminating the need for disassembly and cleaning. The movable top frame and drainage plate work together to form an automatic flow channel, allowing the old liquid to quickly flow into the waste liquid basin, avoiding manual pouring. The arc-shaped baffle plate blocks splashing throughout the process, keeping the operating environment clean and facilitating easy water changes. This significantly simplifies maintenance steps and is suitable for lightweight applications. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention. Example 1
[0020] A simple hydroponic device for cuttings, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a waste liquid basin 1, a base 2 connected to the upper middle part of the waste liquid basin 1, a first mounting column 3 connected to the base 2, and four conical mounting brackets 4 connected to the first mounting column 3. The conical mounting brackets 4 are stepped, which helps to save space and provides sufficient growth space. Each conical mounting bracket 4 is slidably connected to a first pull handle 5, which is provided with anti-slip texture. Each first pull handle 5 is connected to a hydroponic tank 6. A drainage plate 7 is placed at the bottom of each hydroponic tank 6, and four counterweights 8 are connected to each drainage plate 7. Each conical mounting bracket 4 is connected to... The pre-prepared liquid tank 9 is slidably connected to the adjacent hydroponic tank 6. The hydroponic tank 6 is located inside the adjacent pre-prepared liquid tank 9. The pre-prepared liquid tank 9 has a ring structure. The outer side of the conical mounting frame 4 is connected to the second mounting column 10. The second mounting column 10 is connected to the limit block 12. The limit block 12 is rotatably equipped with a movable top frame 11. The movable top frame 11 is in contact with the adjacent hydroponic tank 6. The movable top frame 11 and the adjacent limit block 12 are locked with a pin 13. The first mounting column 3 is equipped with a cutting mechanism 14 for fixing the cuttings.
[0021] The cutting mechanism 14 includes mounting rings 141, each with ribs for reinforcement. Four mounting rings 141 are connected to the first mounting post 3. The mounting rings 141 are all located on the upper side of the adjacent hydroponic tanks 6. Each mounting ring 141 is slidably connected to two corresponding second handles 142. The inner side of each adjacent second handle 142 is connected to a cutting plate 143. The adjacent cutting plates 143 interact with each other. Five slots are opened between adjacent cutting plates 143. A spring 144 is connected between each cutting plate 143 and the adjacent mounting ring 141. The springs 144 are all sleeved on the adjacent second handles 142.
[0022] It should be noted that this device can be used when hydroponically propagating cuttings. First, place the waste liquid basin 1 stably on the ground or table. The four conical mounting brackets 4 are arranged in a stepped shape, which helps to save space and leaves enough room for growth. Next, pour the prepared nutrient solution into the pre-made liquid tank 9 located outside the hydroponic tank 6 as a reserve liquid. Then, pull the second handle 142 outward. The spring 144 is compressed under pressure, causing the two adjacent cutting plates 143 to move away from each other, leaving space for the cuttings to be inserted. Then, place the stem of the cutting to be cultivated between the two cutting plates 143. At this time, the roots of the cutting fall into the corresponding hydroponic tank 6. Then, slowly release the second handle 142. The spring 144 returns to its original position, aligning the adjacent cutting plates 143 and fixing the cuttings on them, keeping the cutting plates 143 aligned with the cuttings. The clamping state prevents the hydroponic tank 6 from floating or tilting in the nutrient solution. Then, pull out the corresponding pin 13 and push down the adjacent movable top bracket 11 so that it no longer restricts the position of the hydroponic tank 6. At this time, the corresponding hydroponic tank 6 will slide down along the pre-prepared liquid tank 9 due to the gravity of the counterweight 8 until the mouth of the hydroponic tank 6 is aligned with the bottom of the pre-prepared liquid tank 9, forming a connecting channel, so that the nutrient solution in the pre-prepared liquid tank 9 can start to flow into the hydroponic tank 6. The counterweight 8 can prevent the drainage plate 7 from shifting due to liquid impact and avoid accidental liquid leakage. After all the nutrient solution has flowed smoothly into the hydroponic tank 6, stop the flow and push the first pull handle 5 upward to raise the hydroponic tank 6 back to its original position. Then rotate the movable top bracket 11 to fit against the bottom of the hydroponic tank 6. Then use the pin 13 to lock the movable top bracket 11 and the limiting block 12 to prevent the hydroponic tank 6 from sliding down due to inertia. The hydroponic device is then complete. Example 2
[0023] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a wrist guard mechanism 15, which includes a sliding block 151. The sliding block 151 is slidably connected to the conical mounting bracket 4. A water baffle 152 is connected to the lower side of the sliding block 151. The water baffle 152 is an arc-shaped structure.
[0024] It should be noted that when the nutrient solution needs to be changed again, first, put your hand through the baffle plate 152 and move the sliding block 151 to adjust it to a suitable position to prevent liquid from falling into your hand during the change of solution. Then, pull down the first handle 5 to move the hydroponic tank 6 down. At this time, the movable top frame 11 will gradually lift the drainage plate 7 to form a gap between it and the bottom of the hydroponic tank 6, so that the original nutrient solution is discharged and flows into the waste liquid basin 1 below. The waste liquid basin 1 collects the liquid discharged from each hydroponic tank 6. After the old nutrient solution is completely discharged, push the first handle 5 upward to return the hydroponic tank 6 to its initial position. Then, inject the newly prepared nutrient solution into the pre-made solution tank 9 to prepare for the next round of hydroponic process, saving the time of changing the solution.
[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
