The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments. Example
[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 This is an embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides a nutrient solution circulation device for a smart plant factory, including a collection tank 1, a conveying pipe 2 provided at the bottom of the outer side of the collection tank 1, and a filter mechanism 3 provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the collection tank 1.
[0027] The filtration mechanism 3 includes a mounting block 301, a slot 302, a vibration motor 303, a connecting shaft 304, and a filter screen 305. The mounting block 301 is fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the inner cavity of the collection tank 1. The slot 302 is opened on the surface of the mounting block 301. The vibration motor 303 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting block 301. The connecting shaft 304 is fixedly connected to the output end of the vibration motor 303. The filter screen 305 is clamped and installed in the inner cavity of the slot 302. The output end of the vibration motor 303 is connected to one side of the filter screen 305.
[0028] Specifically, a fixing rod 4 is fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the inner cavity of the collection tank 1, a drive power supply 5 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixing rod 4, and a stirrer 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drive power supply 5.
[0029] Furthermore, by installing a drive power supply 5 and a stirrer 6 on the fixed rod 4, the nutrient solution can be effectively stirred in the collection tank 1, making the nutrient components more uniform, which helps to improve the plant's absorption efficiency of nutrients and promotes healthy and rapid plant growth.
[0030] Specifically, a cultivation box 7 is fixedly connected to the end of the feeding pipe 2, and a cover plate 8 is provided on the top of the cultivation box 7.
[0031] Furthermore, the end of the feed pipe 2 is connected to a cultivation box 7, and the top of the cultivation box 7 is equipped with a cover plate 8. This design not only facilitates the delivery of nutrient solution, but also provides a relatively closed and stable growth environment for the plants, which is conducive to the plants growing under optimal conditions.
[0032] Specifically, a connecting pipe 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the collection tank 1, and a control valve 10 is provided on the surface of the connecting pipe 9.
[0033] Furthermore, the connecting pipe 9 and the control valve 10 on its surface, which are installed on one side of the top of the collection tank 1, can precisely control the outflow of nutrient solution, ensuring that the nutrient solution is distributed to each cultivation box 7 as needed, thereby improving resource utilization efficiency and avoiding waste.
[0034] Specifically, a distributor 11 is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting pipe 9, and a distributor pipe 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the distributor 11.
[0035] Furthermore, the design of the distributor 11 at the end of the connecting pipe 9 and the distributor 12 at its bottom can distribute the nutrient solution evenly or proportionally to different cultivation areas according to actual needs, meeting the needs of different plant species or different growth stages of the same plant, and improving the overall planting effect.
[0036] Specifically, a sealing ring 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the collection tank 1, and a top cover 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the sealing ring 13. Handles 15 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the top cover 14.
[0037] Furthermore, the sealing ring 13 and top cover 14 on the top of the collection tank 1 not only ensure the sealing of the equipment and prevent leakage, but also facilitate the opening and closing of the equipment through the handle 15 on the top cover 14, simplifying the maintenance process and reducing maintenance time.
[0038] Specifically, the filter 305 features a detachable design, making it easy to clean and replace.
[0039] Furthermore, the filter screen 305 adopts a detachable design, which not only facilitates the cleaning and replacement of the filter screen 305, but also ensures that the filter mechanism 3 is always in the best working condition, effectively preventing impurities from clogging and ensuring the smooth operation of the nutrient solution circulation system.
[0040] In use, first open the collection tank 1 through the handle 15 on the top cover 14, check and clean or replace the filter screen 305 as needed to ensure it is in good working condition. Next, add the prepared nutrient solution to the collection tank 1, close the top cover 14 and ensure the sealing ring 13 fits tightly to prevent leakage. After starting the equipment, the stirrer 6 starts to operate and mixes the nutrient solution evenly. At the same time, the vibration motor 303 vibrates the filter screen 305 at regular intervals to prevent impurities from clogging it. The nutrient solution is transported to the cultivation box 7 through the conveying pipe 2 to provide the plants with the necessary nutrients. Throughout the process, the working status of the control valve 10 and the distributor 11 can be adjusted according to the different needs of the plants to ensure the optimal distribution of nutrient solution and promote healthy plant growth.
[0041] In summary, by setting up a linkage structure between the vibration motor 303 and the filter screen 305, impurities in the nutrient solution can be effectively prevented from clogging the filter screen 305. The vibration motor 303 starts at regular intervals, and the vibration generated is transmitted to the filter screen 305 through the connecting shaft 304, causing the solid particles accumulated on the filter screen to fall off due to vibration, thereby keeping the filter screen unobstructed, ensuring the efficient operation of the nutrient solution circulation system, and reducing the frequency of maintenance and the workload of manual cleaning. By setting a sealing ring 13 and a detachable top cover 14 on the top of the collection tank 1, the sealing performance and ease of maintenance of the equipment can be significantly improved. The sealing ring 13 ensures that the equipment will not leak during operation and maintains the stability of the internal environment. The detachable design of the top cover 14 makes it convenient for users to inspect, clean or replace the internal components, especially providing great convenience for the maintenance of key components such as the filter mechanism 3, thereby extending the service life of the equipment and improving the ease of operation.
