Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aeroponic nozzle technology, specifically relating to an adjustable-angle aeroponic nozzle. Background Technology

[0002] Aeroponics provides a stable support structure for plants, enabling them to grow upright in a soilless environment. This is especially beneficial for plants with slender stems and tall stature, such as tomatoes and cucumbers. Aeroponics beds, with their supports and hooks, allow the vines to grow in a specific direction, facilitating management and light access. Root anchoring is also crucial; aeroponic beds typically have dedicated planting holes or boards through which plant roots can be suspended, thus securing them in place. This method ensures even root distribution and full exposure to the atomized nutrient solution, promoting optimal water and nutrient absorption.

[0003] Currently, most aeroponic beds use aeroponic nozzles to spray atomized nutrient solution onto the roots of the plants, allowing for full absorption of nutrients. However, existing aeroponic nozzles are often heat-fused onto the delivery pipes, resulting in a fixed nozzle angle. This fixed angle causes some plant roots to remain at the edge of the atomization zone, leading to uneven nutrient absorption and inconsistent growth. This inconsistency not only affects the results but also hinders observation and comparison, ultimately reducing the effectiveness of aeroponic spraying with existing nozzles. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable-angle misting nozzle that can solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] The specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] This utility model provides an adjustable angle aeroponic nozzle, including a T-shaped rotating tube, two pre-installed components, and an elastic lower locking mechanism. The two sides of the T-shaped rotating tube are provided with interconnected extended tubes, and the two extended tubes are respectively connected to two symmetrically arranged pre-installed components. The two pre-installed components are both set on the conveying pipe for conveying nutrient solution. An inner sleeve is provided on the upper side of the T-shaped rotating tube, and a threaded connecting pipe communicating with the inside of the T-shaped tube is provided on the inner sleeve. The threaded connecting pipe is connected to the elastic lower hole mechanism.

[0007] The elastic lower locking mechanism includes a sliding frame and a push spring sleeved on the inner sleeve. Vertical plates are respectively provided on both sides of the sliding frame. Two inner locking blocks are provided on the bottom surface of each of the two vertical plates. The two vertical plates are respectively provided on the bottom surface of two flat support plates. The two flat support plates are respectively provided on opposite sides of the outer periphery of the sliding frame. A nozzle is threadedly connected to the threaded connecting pipe. A pressure ring for limiting the push spring is provided on the lower side of the nozzle. The push spring is located between the pressure ring and the sliding frame.

[0008] Using the aforementioned adjustable-angle aeroponic nozzle, by pulling the flat support plate upward along the inner sleeve, the sliding frame moves upward and compresses the downward-pushing spring. At the same time, the sliding frame, the two vertical plates, and the inner locking block disengage from the two adjacent locking strips. In this way, the T-shaped rotating tube can be rotated to adjust the nozzle's angle, thereby facilitating comprehensive coverage of the plant roots on the aeroponic bed at different angles and improving the aeroponic cultivation effect.

[0009] Preferably, the pre-assembled component includes an integrally formed sleeve, an outer expansion tube, and an inner threaded tube. The outer periphery of the inner threaded tube is provided with multiple equally distributed retaining strips, and each adjacent retaining strip is inserted into and engaged with an inner retaining block.

[0010] Preferably, the extended tube is sleeved inside the externally threaded tube, one side of the externally threaded tube is threaded inside the internally threaded tube, and an internal retaining ring is slidably sleeved inside the externally threaded tube, the internal retaining ring being located on the free end side of the extended tube.

[0011] Preferably, an inner retaining ring is provided on one side of the externally threaded tube to engage with the internal retaining ring, and a positioning ring is provided on the outer periphery of the externally threaded tube to abut against the side of the internally threaded tube.

[0012] Preferably, an inner top spring is movably sleeved inside the internally threaded tube. One side of the inner top spring abuts against the inner wall of the outerly expanded tube, and the other side of the inner top spring is movably sleeved inside the externally threaded tube. A sealing ring for sealing the inner retaining ring and the externally threaded tube is sleeved inside the externally threaded tube, and the other side of the inner top spring elastically abuts against the sealing ring.

[0013] The beneficial effects are:

[0014] This invention utilizes the elastic lower hole mechanism on the T-shaped rotating tube and the locking strip on the pre-installed component to pull the flat support plate, causing the inner locking block to disengage from the two adjacent locking strips. This facilitates the rotation of the T-shaped rotating tube to adjust the angle, thus enabling angle adjustment for the roots of plants cultivated in the aeroponic bed. This improves the overall coverage of the nutrient solution sprayed by the nozzle, thereby enhancing the balanced cultivation effect of the plants. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an adjustable-angle aeroponic nozzle includes a T-shaped rotating tube 1, two pre-installed components 2, and an elastic lower clamping mechanism. The two sides of the T-shaped rotating tube 1 are provided with interconnected extended tubes 11. The two extended tubes 11 are respectively connected to two symmetrically arranged pre-installed components 2. The two pre-installed components 2 are both set on the conveying pipe for conveying nutrient solution. The upper side of the T-shaped rotating tube 1 is provided with an inner sleeve 12. The inner sleeve 12 is provided with a threaded connecting pipe 13 that communicates with the inside of the T-shaped tube. The threaded connecting pipe 13 is connected to the elastic lower hole mechanism.

[0024] The elastic lower clamping mechanism includes a sliding frame 3 and a push spring 6 sleeved on the inner sleeve 12. Vertical plates 5 are respectively provided on both sides of the sliding frame 3. Two inner clamping blocks 51 are provided on the bottom surface of each of the two vertical plates 5. The two vertical plates 5 are respectively provided on the bottom surface of two flat support plates 4. The two flat support plates 4 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the outer periphery of the sliding frame 3. A nozzle 8 is threadedly connected to the threaded connecting pipe 13. A pressure ring 7 for limiting the push spring 6 is provided on the lower side of the nozzle 8. The push spring 6 is located between the pressure ring 7 and the sliding frame 3.

[0025] As an optional implementation, the pre-assembled component 2 includes an integrally formed sleeve tube 21, an outer expansion tube 22, and an inner threaded tube 23. The outer periphery of the inner threaded tube 23 is provided with multiple equally distributed retaining strips 24. Each adjacent retaining strip 24 is inserted into and cooperates with the inner retaining block 51. With this arrangement, the elastic lower retaining mechanism can achieve 360° angle adjustment by relying on multiple retaining strips 24, thereby improving the application effect of angle adjustment.

[0026] See attached document Figure 4 and attached Figure 5 The extended tube 11 is fitted inside the external threaded tube 9. One side of the external threaded tube 9 is threaded inside the internal threaded tube 23. An internal retaining ring 14 is slidably fitted inside the external threaded tube 9. The internal retaining ring 14 is located on the free end side of the extended tube 11. This arrangement allows the internal retaining ring 91 to form a sliding lock on the internal retaining ring 14, thereby enabling the T-shaped rotating tube 1 to form a rotating connection with the pre-installed part 2 by relying on the external threaded tube 9, which facilitates the adjustment of the nozzle 8 angle.

[0027] Furthermore, an inner retaining ring 91 is provided on one side of the external threaded pipe 9 to engage the inner retaining ring 14, and a positioning ring 92 is provided on the outer periphery of the external threaded pipe 9 to abut against the side of the internal threaded pipe 23. This arrangement allows the external threaded pipe 9 to be positioned by the positioning ring 92 after the internal threaded pipe 23 is threadedly connected. At the same time, the positioning ring 92 contacts the side of the internal threaded pipe 23 to form a secondary sealing effect after the threaded connection.

[0028] Furthermore, an inner top spring 25 is movably sleeved inside the internally threaded tube 23. One side of the inner top spring 25 abuts against the inner wall of the outerly expanding tube 22, and the other side of the inner top spring 25 is movably sleeved inside the externally threaded tube 9. A sealing ring 26 for sealing the inner retaining ring 14 and the externally threaded tube 9 is sleeved inside the externally threaded tube 9. The other side of the inner top spring 25 elastically abuts against the sealing ring 26. With this arrangement, the sealing ring 26 can form a contact seal with the externally threaded tube 9 and the inner retaining ring 14 by relying on the inner top spring 25, thereby improving the sealing effect when the inner retaining ring 14 rotates and contacts the inner retaining ring 91.

[0029] With the above structure, by pulling the flat support plate 4 upward along the inner sleeve 12, the sliding frame 3 is moved upward to compress the downward push spring 6. At the same time, the sliding frame 3, the two vertical plates 5, and the inner locking block 51 are disengaged from the two adjacent locking strips 24. In this way, the T-shaped rotating tube 1 can be rotated to drive the nozzle 8 to adjust its angle, so as to facilitate the comprehensive coverage of the plant roots on the aeroponic bed at different angles and improve the aeroponic cultivation effect.

[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
