[0021] 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.

[0022] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment proposes a vegetable growing machine, including a housing 1. A fixed base 6 is fixedly connected to the middle of the housing 1. Several fertilizer hoppers 18 are fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed base 6. A crushing cover 4 is fixedly connected to the fixed base 6. A crusher 13 is provided at the top of the crushing cover 4. The crusher 13 is an existing mature component and is used in conjunction with the crushing cover 4. It can put kitchen waste into the crushing cover 4 and crush it using the crusher 13, thereby using the crushed food juice for subsequent fermentation and fertilization. A drainage mechanism is provided in the middle of the fixed base 6 for discharging the crushed food juice into the fertilizer hoppers 18. The drainage mechanism can discharge the crushed food juice into the fertilizer hoppers 18. This eliminates the need for manual pouring of juice into the fertilizer hopper 18, making operation more convenient and fully utilizing kitchen waste. A light-illuminating mechanism is installed at the top of the shell 1, ensuring that the vegetables in the fertilizer hopper 18 receive photosynthesis and grow normally. Several partitions 7 are fixed to the inner wall of the shell 1, and the partitions 7 are located between each pair of adjacent fertilizer hoppers 18. The partitions 7 enhance the overall stability of the device and separate each fertilizer hopper 18. The machinery, parts and equipment in this device all adopt conventional models in the existing technology, and the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the existing technology, which will not be described in detail here.

[0023] like Figures 2 to 4 and Figure 7As shown, the drainage mechanism includes several interconnected liquid delivery pipes 15, with the top ends of each liquid delivery pipe 15 connected to each other. The top end of each liquid delivery pipe 15 is connected to the middle of the bottom surface of the crushing hood 4. A filter pipe 14 is installed in the middle of the bottom surface of the crushing hood 4. The filter pipe 14 is detachably connected, thus facilitating the removal and cleaning of the filter pipe 14. Each liquid delivery pipe 15 is installed in a fixed base 6. The inner wall of each fertilizer hopper 18 is provided with a fertilizer hopper 18 that communicates with the fixed base 6. The bottom end of each liquid delivery pipe 15 is connected to the corresponding drainage hole 16. With the above structure, the crushed food juice is filtered through the filter pipe 14 and flows into each liquid delivery pipe 15, and finally discharged into the fertilizer hopper 18 through the corresponding drainage hole 16, thereby fertilizing the vegetables in the fertilizer hopper 18.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the fixed base 6 has several slots 17, each corresponding to a liquid delivery pipe 15. A baffle 11 is slidably installed in each slot 17, penetrating the surface of the liquid delivery pipe 15. Each baffle 11 has a through hole 12, the diameter of which matches the opening of the liquid delivery pipe 15. With this structure, since the vegetables in each fertilizer hopper 18 have different growth cycles, fertilization control needs to be applied separately to the vegetables in each fertilizer hopper 18. When fertilization is needed for a specific vegetable in a particular fertilizer hopper 18, only... The corresponding baffle 11 needs to be pulled upwards to make the through hole 12 connect with the corresponding fertilizer hopper 18, so that the fertilizer can be discharged into the corresponding fertilizer hopper 18 through the bottom end of the liquid delivery pipe 15. When fertilization is not required, the baffle 11 is pushed downwards to make the through hole 12 move away from the liquid delivery pipe 15. The baffle 11 can be used to block the liquid delivery pipe 15 to prevent fertilizer from being discharged, making the operation more flexible and convenient. In order to prevent the baffle 11 from sliding freely in the slot 17, several rubber anti-slip balls are provided on both sides of the baffle 11 to ensure the stability of the baffle 11 when it is not in use.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the lighting mechanism includes a fixing ring 2, which is mounted on the housing 1 and does not contact the housing 1, so as to facilitate the sliding of the cutting blade 9. Several lighting lamps 3 are mounted on the fixing ring 2, and each lighting lamp 3 corresponds to a fertilizer hopper 18. The bottom end of each lighting lamp 3 extends to the bottom of the fixing ring 2 and connects to the housing 1. With the above structure, the lighting lamps 3 can be used to perform photosynthesis on the vegetables planted in the fertilizer hopper 18, thereby ensuring the normal growth of the vegetables and improving the application range of the device.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a cutting blade 9 is slidably disposed between the housing 1 and the fixing ring 2. A handle 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the cutting blade 9 away from the fixing base 6. Several sliding grooves 10 are opened on the surface of the fixing base 6, and the end of the cutting blade 9 away from the handle 8 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 10. With the above structure, the operator can move the handle 8 to drive the cutting blade 9 to slide, so as to harvest the mature vegetables in the fertilizer hopper 18. The cutting blade 9 can slide in the gap between the housing 1 and the fixing ring 2, making it more flexible and convenient to use. At the same time, the cutting blade 9 can be pulled out for use, and it also serves as a storage function when not in use.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, each fertilizer hopper 18 is equipped with a cover plate 5, and the cover plate 5 is equipped with a handle. The cover plate 5 ensures that the fertilizer in the fertilizer hopper 18 ferments normally, and also blocks the odor during the fertilizer fermentation process.

[0028] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, kitchen waste is put into the crushing hood 4. Then, the grinder 13 is placed on the crushing hood 4, and the power supply of the grinder 13 is turned on to start crushing the kitchen waste in the crushing hood 4. The crushed food juice flows through the filter pipe 14 and into each liquid delivery pipe 15, and finally into each fertilizer hopper 18. The cover plate 5 is then closed, allowing the juice to ferment and form fertilizer in the fertilizer hopper 18. This facilitates the subsequent fertilization of vegetables planted in the fertilizer hopper 18, making full use of kitchen waste for fertilization, and the fertilization process is simpler. No additional fertilization is required. When the vegetables in each fertilizer hopper 18 have different growth cycles, fertilization is required separately. Simply pull the corresponding baffle 11 upward so that the through hole 12 is connected to the corresponding fertilizer hopper 18, so that the fertilizer can be discharged into the corresponding fertilizer hopper 18 through the bottom end of the liquid delivery pipe 15. When fertilization is not required, push the baffle 11 downward so that the through hole 12 is away from the liquid delivery pipe 15, so that the baffle 11 can block the liquid delivery pipe 15 and prevent fertilizer from falling out. The operation is more flexible and convenient. When the vegetables need photosynthesis, simply turn on the light 3 for illumination.
