Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 In this embodiment, a space breeding planting pot for planting plants includes a planting pot body 1 and a fixed base 2. The upper surface of the fixed base 2 is provided with a fixing mechanism 3. A fixing plate 4 is fixed inside the planting pot body 1. A hydrogel matrix 5 is fixed on the upper surface of the fixing plate 4. A driving mechanism 6 is provided on the left and right sides of the planting pot body 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, mounting plates are fixed on both the left and right sides of the fixed base 2. Mounting holes are opened through the front and rear sides of the upper surface of the mounting plates. The upper surface of the hydrogel matrix 5 is provided with a placement groove for the plant roots. A diaphragm pump 7 is fixed on the right side of the planting pot body 1 by a support plate. The input end of the diaphragm pump 7 passes through the planting pot body 1 and the hydrogel matrix 5 through a pipe and extends into the interior of the hydrogel matrix 5. An input structure 8 is fixed to the input end of the diaphragm pump 7. The input structure 8 includes a first input pipe. An electromagnetic valve is connected to the outer side of the right side of the first input pipe. A second input pipe is connected inside the electromagnetic valve.

[0026] Specifically, by connecting the second input pipe to an external water source on the right side, and then turning on the diaphragm pump 7 and the solenoid valve, water can be delivered to the hydrogel matrix 5. The hydrogel matrix 5 can provide water to the plants. The hydrogel matrix 5 is a highly hydrated three-dimensional polymer network material that can absorb a large amount of water, providing a stable growth environment for the plant roots, enabling the plants to adapt to the microgravity environment in space, and ensuring that the plants can grow normally.

[0027] It should be noted that when stopping watering, the solenoid valve and diaphragm pump 7 can be turned off.

[0028] Please see Figures 2 to 3 In this embodiment, the fixing mechanism 3 includes rectangular blocks 301 fixed on the left and right sides of the upper surface of the fixing base 2. Rectangular holes 302 are opened through the opposite sides of the rectangular blocks 301 on both sides. Rectangular grooves are opened on both sides of the planting pot body 1. Connecting plates 303 are fixed inside the rectangular holes 302 on both sides. Threaded rods 304 are threadedly connected inside the connecting plates 303 on both sides. Handles 305 are fixed on the opposite sides of the threaded rods 304 on both sides. Rectangular locking blocks 306 are rotatably connected to the opposite sides of the threaded rods 304 on both sides through bearings. The rectangular locking blocks 306 on both sides are slidably inserted into the rectangular grooves on both sides. The planting pot can be fixed and released by simply rotating the handles 305, which is convenient and quick to operate.

[0029] Specifically, the fixing mechanism 3 also includes a first magnet 307 fixed to one side wall opposite to the other side of the rectangular groove cavity on the left and right sides, and a second magnet 308 fixed to one side opposite to the rectangular snap-fit ​​block 306 on the left and right sides. The first magnet 307 and the second magnet 308 are magnetically attracted to each other, and the second magnet 308 is slidably connected inside the rectangular groove.

[0030] It should be noted that the mounting holes on the left and right sides can be used to fix the base 2 inside the spacecraft. By rotating the handles 305 on the left and right sides, the threaded rods 304 on the left and right sides can be rotated inside the connecting plates 303 on the left and right sides. Then, the rectangular locking blocks 306 on the left and right sides move in opposite directions. After that, the first magnets 307 and the second magnets 308 on the left and right sides separate. Then, the rectangular locking blocks 306 and the second magnets 308 on the left and right sides are moved out of the rectangular slots on the left and right sides. After that, the astronauts can take the planting pot body 1 off the upper surface of the base 2.

[0031] Please see Figure 4 In this embodiment, the driving mechanism 6 includes electric push rods 601 fixed on the left and right sides of the planting pot body 1. Connecting blocks 602 are fixed on the outer side of the output shaft of the electric push rods 601 on both sides. Glass covers 603 are fixed on the opposite side of the connecting blocks 602 on both sides. Fixing rods 604 are fixed on the left and right side walls of the inner cavity of the planting pot body 1. Fixing grooves 605 are opened on the opposite side of the fixing rods 604 on both sides. Springs 606 are fixed on the opposite side wall of the inner cavity of the fixing grooves 605 on both sides. A sealing rubber ring is fixed on the lower surface of the glass cover 603. The lower surface of the sealing rubber ring is in contact with the upper surface of the planting pot body 1. A lighting lamp is fixed on the top of the inner cavity of the glass cover 603. The lighting lamp emits red, blue and white light. The combination of red, blue and white light optimizes plant photosynthesis.

[0032] Specifically, the drive mechanism 6 also includes a movable rod 607 fixed on the opposite side of the left and right springs 606. The movable rod 607 is slidably connected inside the fixed groove 605. An arc-shaped clamping plate 608 is provided on the opposite side of the left and right movable rods 607. An anti-slip rubber layer is fixed on the opposite side of the left and right arc-shaped clamping plates 608 to improve the stability of clamping and fixing the plant.

[0033] It should be noted that by simultaneously activating the electric push rods 601 on both sides, the glass cover 603 can be moved upward, and then the planting pot body 1 forms an opening, making it convenient for astronauts to touch the plants. The plants can be clamped and fixed by the cooperation of the fixing rods 604, fixing grooves 605, springs 606, moving rods 607 and arc-shaped clamps 608 on both sides.

[0034] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0035] In use, the mounting base 2 can be fixed inside the spacecraft cabin through the mounting holes on the left and right sides. By rotating the handles 305 on the left and right sides, the threaded rods 304 on the left and right sides can be rotated inside the connecting plates 303 on the left and right sides, which in turn causes the rectangular locking blocks 306 on the left and right sides to move in opposite directions. Then, the first magnets 307 and the second magnets 308 on the left and right sides separate, and the rectangular locking blocks 306 and the second magnets 308 on the left and right sides are moved out of the rectangular slots on the left and right sides. Then, the astronaut can pick up the planting pot body 1 from the upper surface of the mounting base 2. By simultaneously activating the electric push rods 601 on the left and right sides, the planting pot body 1 can be lifted out of the spacecraft cabin. The movable glass cover 603 moves upward, and then the planting pot body 1 forms an opening, making it convenient for astronauts to touch the plants. The plants can be clamped and fixed by the cooperation of the left and right fixed rods 604, fixed grooves 605, springs 606, moving rods 607 and arc-shaped clamps 608. The second input pipe connects to the external water source on the right side. Then, by turning on the diaphragm pump 7 and the solenoid valve, water can be delivered to the hydrogel matrix 5. The hydrogel matrix 5 can provide water to the plants. The hydrogel matrix 5 is a highly hydrated three-dimensional polymer network material that can absorb a large amount of water, providing a stable growth environment for the plant roots, enabling the plants to adapt to the microgravity environment of space and ensuring that the plants can grow normally.
