Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant cultivation technology, specifically to an integrated device for aerosol cultivation, parasitism, and collection of parasitic plants. Background Technology

[0002] Aeroponics is a cultivation method in which plants are suspended in an atomized space, allowing their roots to obtain water, oxygen, and nutrients.

[0003] Current aerosol culture equipment is often used for the cultivation of single plants. For example, Chinese invention patent application CN114051919A (publication date: February 18, 2022) discloses an aerosol-type sugar-free plant culture device, including an air supply system, a liquid supply system, an atomization system, a culture container, and a water mist generation chamber. This device can improve plant culture results, ensuring that the plant's required nutrients, carbon source, light, temperature, and humidity are fully met during the cultivation process. Existing research on parasitic plants still uses soil-based seed-encasing parasitism, which presents difficulties in achieving parasitism in aerosol culture. The cultivation, parasitism, and collection of parasitic plants are still carried out in steps, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, affecting the optimal timing for plant growth, development, parasitism, and collection. These shortcomings limit the large-scale and modern development of parasitic plant production, necessitating an integrated device for aerosol culture, parasitism, and collection of parasitic plants to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides an integrated device for aerosol cultivation, parasitism, and collection of parasitic plants. This device enables integrated control of plant growth, parasitism, and collection, improves space utilization, reduces resource consumption, enhances the parasitism efficiency of parasitic plants, and promotes the development of modern and efficient agriculture.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An integrated device for aerosol cultivation, parasitism, and collection of parasitic plants includes a mounting box, which is black in color. The front of the mounting box has three independently opening doors from top to bottom. Inside the mounting box, from top to bottom, there are an aerosol cultivation layer, a parasitism layer, and an atomization layer. A light-emitting component is embedded at the top of the aerosol cultivation layer, and a plant fixing component is embedded at the bottom. A parasitism component is embedded at the bottom of the parasitism layer. A nutrient solution storage tank is provided in the atomization layer, and a fogger is provided in the nutrient solution storage tank. The fogger is connected to a timed aerosol regulator. The nutrient solution storage tank is connected to a pipe, and a switch valve is provided at the end of the pipe.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the lighting component includes multiple LED tubes, which are evenly distributed on the top wall of the mounting box.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, multiple sets of sliding grooves are symmetrically arranged on the left and right side walls inside the mounting box. The sliding grooves are horizontally arranged, and at least two support blocks are slidably connected in the sliding grooves. The plant fixing component and the parasitic component are installed in the mounting box through the support blocks.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the slide is L-shaped or T-shaped, and the support block is adapted to the slide.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the plant fixing component includes a porous fixing plate, which is installed in the mounting box by a support block. The porous fixing plate has a plurality of through holes arranged in an array, and sponges for fixing plants are interference-connected in the through holes.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the parasitic component includes a perforated plate, which is installed in the mounting box by a support block, and a layer of polydopamine film is laid on the perforated plate.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the switching valve is equipped with a filter membrane.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This utility model discloses an integrated device for aerosol cultivation, parasitism, and collection of parasitic plants. Host plants and parasitic plants are arranged in layers within a housing. Aerosol cultivation effectively improves space utilization and facilitates integrated management of host plant growth, parasitism, and root exudate collection. Each layer of the housing can be opened individually, allowing for easy observation of the parasitic plant's status while ensuring ventilation within the housing. This shortens the overall cultivation, parasitism, and collection time, improves parasitism efficiency, and simplifies operation.

[0015] This utility model provides an integrated device for the cultivation, parasitism, and collection of parasitic plants using aerosols. Growers can set the duration and amount of fogging to ensure that the host plant is under drought stress. This ensures that the plant leaves and roots can fully absorb water and nutrients, while avoiding problems such as root rot and algae growth caused by excessive water accumulation. At the same time, it reduces labor intensity and management costs.

[0016] This utility model discloses an integrated device for aerosol cultivation, parasitism, and collection of parasitic plants. The plant fixing unit and parasitism components are installed in the mounting box through support blocks. By adjusting the position of the support blocks, the height and spacing of different layers in the mounting box can be changed to meet the needs of different plant species and different growth stages.

[0017] This utility model discloses an integrated device for parasitic plant aerosol cultivation, parasitism, and collection. The parasitism component includes a perforated plate and a polydopamine film laid on it. This ensures that the roots have sufficient growth space and air permeability, making it easy to observe the root growth status. It also fixes the parasitic plant seeds and provides opportunities for contact between the host roots and the parasitic plant seeds. At the same time, it ensures air circulation around the roots, promotes root respiration, and is beneficial to the healthy growth of the plant. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] An integrated device for aerosol cultivation, parasitism, and collection of parasitic plants, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the device includes a mounting box 1, which is black. The mounting box 1 has three independently opening doors on its front side from top to bottom. Inside the mounting box 1, from top to bottom, there are three layers: an aerosol cultivation layer, a parasitic layer, and a misting layer. The top of the aerosol cultivation layer is fitted with a light-emitting component 2, and the bottom is fitted with a plant fixing component 4. The bottom of the parasitic layer is fitted with a parasitic component. The misting layer contains a nutrient solution storage tank 7, and the nutrient solution storage tank 7 contains a mist generator 9. The mist generator 9 is connected to a timed aerosol regulator 8. The nutrient solution storage tank 7 is connected to a pipe, and the end of the pipe is fitted with a switch valve 10.

[0027] In one specific embodiment, the lighting component 2 includes multiple LED tubes, which are evenly distributed on the top wall of the mounting box 1. The mounting box 1 is black, which can simulate the growth of host plant roots in a dark environment and the parasitic plant seeds parasitizing in a dark environment. When the LED tubes are turned on, they can provide uniform light to the plants and effectively promote photosynthesis.

[0028] Multiple sets of sliding grooves are symmetrically arranged on the left and right side walls inside the mounting box 1. The sliding grooves are horizontally arranged, and at least two support blocks 3 are slidably connected within the sliding grooves. The plant fixing component 4 and the parasitic component are installed inside the mounting box 1 through the support blocks 3. Preferably, the sliding grooves are L-shaped or T-shaped, and the support blocks 3 are adapted to the sliding grooves. Multiple sets of sliding grooves are provided. By sliding the support blocks 3 into sliding grooves of different heights, the height and spacing of each layer can be flexibly adjusted to meet the needs of different plant species and different growth stages. The support blocks 3 have high strength and waterproof properties, which facilitates the daily management of plants, while making full use of vertical space and significantly increasing the planting density per unit area.

[0029] The plant fixing component 4 includes a porous fixing plate, which is mounted inside the mounting box 1 via a support block 3. The porous fixing plate has an array of through holes, each containing an interference-fit sponge for fixing the plant. When planting, the host plant's roots dangle in the parasitic layer below the porous fixing plate, while the stems and leaves are located in the aerosol culture layer above the plate. The sponge prevents the shrub from tilting. The plant fixing component 4 is lightweight, facilitating the transplanting of parasitic plants. The porous fixing plate is black and opaque, preventing the light from the aerosol culture layer's light component 2 from affecting the parasitic layer, ensuring the entire parasitic layer remains black.

[0030] The parasitic component includes a perforated plate 6, which is mounted in the housing 1 via a support block 3. The perforated plate 6 has a number of densely distributed perforations that allow water and air to pass through, but prevent plant roots and seeds from falling into the atomization layer. A polydopamine film 5 is laid on the perforated plate 6. The perforated plate 6 and the polydopamine film 5 ensure that the roots have sufficient growth space and air permeability, making it easy to observe the root growth status. They also fix the parasitic plant seeds and provide opportunities for contact between the host roots and the parasitic plant seeds. At the same time, they ensure air circulation around the roots to promote root respiration, which is beneficial to the healthy growth of the plant.

[0031] This invention enables the timed mist regulator 8 to perform intermittent spraying according to a set program, thereby controlling the amount of aerosol generated by the mist generator 9 in the nutrient solution storage tank 7. This ensures that the plant leaves and roots can fully absorb water and nutrients while avoiding problems such as root rot and algae growth caused by excessive water accumulation. By adjusting the atomization cycle time and size, drought stress can also be simulated. By adjusting the time the parasitic plant is in a drought stress environment, under appropriate drought conditions (adjusted according to the characteristics of the parasitic plant), the amount of root secretions can be increased, while ensuring that the plant can absorb nutrient solution and preventing plant death. Root secretions fall back into the nutrient solution storage tank 7 with the atomized droplets. After a certain period of time after atomization ends, the switch valve 10 on the pipeline is opened to collect the root secretions into the collection bottle 11. The filter membrane in the switch valve 1 can filter impurities during the cultivation process.

[0032] The integrated device of this invention can effectively improve space utilization and facilitate integrated management of the host plant growth, parasitic plant parasitism, and root exudate collection processes, thereby improving the drought stress state of the host plant in aeroponic culture, the parasitic plant parasitism efficiency, and the amount of plant root exudates.

[0033] Of course, there may be other embodiments of this utility model. Without departing from the spirit and essence of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications based on this utility model, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
