Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moss cultivation technology, specifically a moss cultivation device with a water storage structure. Background Technology
[0002] As pioneer plants in nature, bryophytes play a vital role in ecological restoration, soil and water conservation, and air purification. They are also highly valued for their unique ornamental qualities, making them popular in horticultural landscape design and interior decoration. With the increasing demand for bryophytes, artificial cultivation has become an important way to meet market needs.
[0003] According to announcement number CN218456799U, a moss cultivation device is used to cultivate moss in a cultivation box. When sunlight is needed, the movable plate is rotated to make it horizontal. The insertion rod is inserted into the second and fourth insertion holes to fix the movable plate. Under the action of the counterweight, the cultivation box is kept horizontal, which facilitates the moss to receive sunlight.
[0004] This moss cultivation device involves planting moss in cultivation boxes. When sunlight is needed, a movable plate is rotated to bring it to a horizontal position. However, the support frame cannot rotate. When the movable plate rotates, the cultivation box in the middle of the frame remains in the center. When the angle of sunlight changes, the support frame can block the sunlight, preventing the moss in the cultivation box in the middle of the frame from receiving sunlight and affecting its growth. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0031] This utility model provides the following technical solution: Example 1
[0032] Please see Figure 1-7This utility model provides a technical solution: a moss cultivation device with a water storage structure, including a base 1, a support platform 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a rotating clamping mechanism 4 provided on the top of the support platform 2, a water storage mechanism 3 provided inside the rotating clamping mechanism 4, a PLC controller 5 provided on the front of the rotating clamping mechanism 4, and a petri dish 6 provided inside the rotating clamping mechanism 4.
[0033] The rotating clamping mechanism 4 includes a rotating component 41 and a clamping component 42. The rotating component 41 is disposed on the top of the support platform 2, and the clamping component 42 is disposed inside the rotating component 41.
[0034] The rotating assembly 41 includes a drive motor 411, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support platform 2.

[0038] Furthermore, there are two slide bars 425. The two slide bars 425 are fixedly connected to the outside of the threaded plate 424, and the two slide bars 425 are slidably connected to the inside of the mounting plate 422.

[0039] Please see Figure 1-7 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the water storage mechanism 3 further includes a water tank 31, the top of the support platform 2 is fixedly connected to the water tank 31, a transmission pipe 32 is fixedly connected to the left side of the water tank 31, a water supply pipe 33 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the transmission pipe 32, a water pump 34 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the water supply pipe 33, a return water pipe 36 is fixedly connected to the right side of the water tank 31, a connecting pipe 37 is fixedly connected to the left side of the return water pipe 36, the connecting pipe 37 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the water tank 416, and an electric butterfly valve 35 is fixedly connected inside the connecting pipe 37.
[0040] Furthermore, the water storage tank 416 has a fixing hole inside that corresponds to the position of the water supply pipe 33, and the outer wall of the water supply pipe 33 is in close contact with the inside of the water storage tank 416. Through the fixing hole, the water supply pipe 33 can pass through the water storage tank 416 to add water to the inside of the water storage tank 416.
[0041] Furthermore, there are four support plates 418. The four support plates 418 are fixedly connected to the outer top of the fixed plate 414 and to the inner side of the water tank 416. The water tank 416 can be supported by the support plates 418.
[0042] In actual operation, when this device is used, water is added to the water tank 31, and the culture dish 6 containing moss is placed inside the storage bucket 417. The PLC controller 5 turns on the rotating motor 421, which drives the bidirectional threaded rod 423 to rotate. The bidirectional threaded rod 423 drives the slide bar 425 and the vertical plate 426 to move through the threaded plate 424. The vertical plate 426 drives the clamping plate 428 to move through the connecting plate 427, so that the clamping plate 428 can clamp and fix the culture dish 6.
[0043] The operator uses PLC controller 5 to turn on water pump 34, which transfers water from water tank 31 to water delivery pipe 33 via transmission pipe 32. Water is then added to water storage tank 416 via water delivery pipe 33. Water from storage tank 416 enters storage tank 417 through holes in its bottom, allowing water to reach the petri dish 6 and cover the moss roots. When the water level is too high, the operator uses PLC controller 5 to open electric butterfly valve 35, allowing excess water from water tank 416 to flow through connecting pipe 37 into the petri dish. The water inlet and outlet pipe 36 is used to transport water to the water storage tank 31, preventing water waste. The water level detector 415 detects the water level inside the water storage tank 416. When the water level inside the water storage tank 416 is too low, the water level detector 415 transmits a signal to the PLC controller 5, which then turns on the water pump 34. The water pump 34 works in conjunction with the water delivery pipe 33 through the transmission pipe 32 to transport water to the water storage tank 416. When the water level reaches the appropriate position, the water level detector 415 transmits a signal to the PLC controller 5, which then turns off the water pump 34.
[0044] Based on the angle of sunlight, the staff inputs a program into the PLC controller 5 to require the drive motor 411 to rotate slightly every two hours. When cultivating moss, the PLC controller 5 activates the drive motor 411 every two hours, causing it to rotate the fixed plate 414 via the rotating shaft 412. This, in turn, causes the fixed plate 414 to rotate the support plate 418 and the water tank 416 slightly, allowing the cultivated moss to rotate automatically. This ensures that the moss receives suitable light at different growth stages, improving the success rate and quality of moss cultivation. PLC controller 5 model: S7-1200; electric butterfly valve 35 model: D941X; water level detector 415 model: E+H FMU30.
