[0025] 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.
[0026] This specific embodiment is an artificial cultivation device for Epimedium, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the artificial cultivation device for Epimedium has a receiving frame 1. The top and both sides of the receiving frame 1 are provided with receiving blocks 4. The receiving blocks 4 have semi-circular receiving grooves 5. The receiving grooves 5 are used to receive and install planting boxes 7 for planting medicinal materials. The planting box 7 has a planting cavity inside. The receiving mesh 8 is horizontally embedded in the planting cavity. The bottom of the planting cavity has a connecting hole 72. Nutrient solution pipes 71 are installed at the connecting hole 72. There are several connecting holes 72, and all of the connecting holes 72 are connected to the nutrient solution pipes 71. A transparent window 9 is provided in the middle of the outer side of the planting box 7.
[0027] By coordinating the frame-like support frame 1 and the planting boxes 7 connected to it, the vertical space can also be utilized during cultivation, thus maximizing the efficiency of the corresponding space resources. This ensures high planting density while maintaining the overall survival rate and improves the overall practicality of the device.
[0028] The aforementioned support frame 1 is horizontally fixed with a connecting rod 3, and each of the four corners of the bottom of the support frame 1 is equipped with a leveling knob 2. The support frame 1 and the leveling knob 2 are threaded together. By using the leveling knob 2, the overall levelness of the support frame 1 can be effectively adjusted during operation, so as to avoid the support frame 1 shaking during operation.
[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a positioning hole 11 is provided on the side of the receiving block 4, and a positioning cavity is provided on the side of the planting box 7. A positioning component 10 is installed in the positioning cavity. The positioning component 10 is fixed to the positioning hole 11. The positioning component 10 includes a slide rod 12 that is vertically fixed in the positioning cavity. A positioning pin 14 is sleeved on the slide rod 12. The positioning pin 14 is inserted into the positioning hole 11. The cross-section of the positioning hole 11 and the positioning pin 14 are both I-shaped. A protruding block is provided on the outer side of the positioning pin 14. A pressure spring 13 is sleeved on the slide rod 12 to assist the positioning pin 14 in pressing. Guide blocks 15 are symmetrically fixed in the positioning cavity. A guide groove 141 is provided on the positioning pin 14 for the guide block 15 to slide.
[0030] By cooperating with the positioning component 10 on the planting box 7 and the positioning hole 11 on the receiving block 4, the receiving ring 6 on the planting box 7 is engaged with the snap-fit groove 51 on the receiving groove 5. Two people are positioned at both ends of the planting box 7 and pull the protruding block upwards. The protruding block drives the positioning pin 14 to move. When the positioning pin 14 rises, it compresses the top pressure spring 13 and adjusts the planting box 7 to a horizontal state. The protruding block is then released, allowing the positioning pin 14 to be inserted into the positioning hole 11. This ensures that the planting box 7 can be stably kept in a corresponding horizontal state during operation, minimizing the possibility of the planting box 7 tilting when adjusting or checking the planting status, thus ensuring the overall planting effect of the medicinal materials.
[0031] The receiving groove 5 has a protruding snap-fit groove 51 inside, and the outer side of the planting box 7 has a receiving ring 6. The snap-fit groove 51 and the receiving ring 6 are engaged and snapped together. Through the engagement between the snap-fit groove 51 and the receiving ring 6, the planting box 7 can be stably snapped and installed in the receiving groove 5 during operation.
[0032] Working principle:
[0033] When it is necessary to plant Epimedium, the soil substrate is piled up and buried at the top of the receiving net 8, and the nutrient solution pipe 71 is connected to the pump body. During planting, the nutrient solution enters the planting box 7 through the connecting hole 72, thereby providing auxiliary nutrient solution treatment for Epimedium.
[0034] When the planting box 7 needs to be installed, the receiving ring 6 on the planting box 7 is engaged with the snap-fit groove 51 on the receiving groove 5. Two people are positioned at both ends of the planting box 7 and pull the protruding block upwards. The protruding block drives the positioning pin 14 to move. When the positioning pin 14 rises, it compresses the top pressure spring 13 and adjusts the planting box 7 to a horizontal position. The protruding block is then released, allowing the positioning pin 14 to be inserted into the positioning hole 11, so that the planting box 7 can always be in a horizontal position. When replacing, the planting box 7 can be removed by simply lifting it upwards.
[0035] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.
