A wind guide plate 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the turntable 24. A blocking block 25 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the turntable 24. The blocking block 25 is slidably connected to the bottom wall of the rainwater collection tray 20.
[0029] According to an optional embodiment of the present invention, a first electric valve 29 is provided at the outlet of the clean water pipe 28, and a second electric valve 31 is provided at the outlet of the nutrient solution pipe 30.
[0030] In an optional embodiment of this invention, both the first electric valve 29 and the nutrient solution tube 30 are equipped with wireless modules. The wireless modules enable remote control of the operating status of the first electric valve 29 and the second electric valve 31.
[0031] In one optional embodiment of this invention, a liquid sensor 27 is embedded in the inner wall of the rainwater cavity 21. The liquid sensor 27 is capable of detecting the presence of liquid.
[0032] In one optional embodiment of this invention, the liquid sensor 27 includes a wireless module. The wireless module is capable of transmitting data detected by the liquid sensor 27 to a remote terminal device.
[0033] According to an optional embodiment of the present invention, the clean water pipe 28 is connected to the front wall of the retaining wall module 1 via a first bracket 32, and the nutrient solution pipe 30 is connected to the front wall of the retaining wall module 1 via a second bracket 33.
[0034] In one optional embodiment of this invention, the air guide plate 26 is made of polypropylene. Polypropylene is lightweight and corrosion-resistant, making it suitable as a component for air guidance.
[0035] According to an optional embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the planting box 8 is provided with two or more drainage holes, and a seepage filter is connected below the drainage holes. The seepage filter prevents soil loss, and the drainage holes can promote the discharge of excess water.
[0036] In one optional embodiment of this invention, the extension platform 6 has water passage holes that are connected to all drainage holes. These water passage holes prevent water from accumulating on the extension platform 6.
[0037] Implementation process:
[0038] The retaining wall module 1 is installed on the construction surface. Adjacent retaining wall modules 1 on the left and right are positioned and connected by inserting the side connecting part 3 into the side connecting groove 5. Adjacent retaining wall modules 1 on the top and bottom are positioned and connected by inserting the top connecting part 2 into the bottom connecting groove 4. Multiple unit modules are assembled to form a stable retaining wall base. Water pipes 28 and nutrient solution pipes 30 on adjacent retaining wall modules 1 are connected. The specific connection method and path are not limited. Water pipes 28 are connected to an external water supply system, and nutrient solution pipes 30 are connected to an external nutrient solution supply system.
[0039] When the planting box 8 needs to be installed on the extension platform 6, the limiting strip 14 does not extend into the through hole 11. The first permanent magnet 16 and the second permanent magnet 17 are magnetically connected to prevent the limiting strip 14 from extending into the through hole 11 during the movement of the planting box 8. After roughly aligning the two through holes 11 with the two insert blocks 7, they are inserted. Precise alignment is not required. The shape of the conical cavity 19 can automatically guide and adapt the insert blocks 7 until the outer wall of the insert block 7 abuts against the inner wall of the conical cavity 19, pushing the gripping block 13, thereby releasing the magnetic connection between the first permanent magnet 16 and the second permanent magnet 17. The limiting strip 14 is inserted into the limiting groove 18, completing the horizontal and vertical positioning of the planting box 8 and completing the connection. When disassembling or replacing the planting box 8, it is only necessary to move the limiting strip 14 away from the limiting groove 18, which is convenient for cross-boundary movement.
[0040] During rainy days, rainwater will enter the rainwater chamber 21 for collection and utilization.
[0041] On sunny days, the liquid sensor 27 will detect whether there is liquid in the rainwater chamber 21. When there is no liquid in the rainwater chamber 21, the user can remotely control the external clean water supply system to supply clean water to the clean water pipe 28. After opening the first electric valve 29, clean water flows into the planting box 8.
[0042] When nutrient solution needs to be replenished, the external nutrient solution supply system supplies nutrient solution to the nutrient solution pipe 30. After the second electric valve 31 is opened, the nutrient solution flows into the rainwater chamber 21 and mixes with the clean water to form a mixed solution.
[0043] When the wind blows past the air guide plate 26, the air guide plate 26, the turntable 24, and the blocking block 25 will rotate around the self-resetting shaft 23. The self-resetting shaft 23 has a self-resetting force. When the wind force is small, the blocking block 25 rotates only slightly and will not unblock the water passage 22. When the wind force is large, the blocking block 25 rotates only slightly and will unblock the water passage 22. The mixed liquid in the rainwater chamber 21 will flow through the water passage 22 into the planting box 8 to replenish the plants in the planting box 8 with water and nutrients.
[0044] This invention allows for convenient and quick disassembly and installation of the planting box 8, eliminating the need for additional connecting parts and tools, and precise alignment of parts. This improves the ease and efficiency of installing the planting box 8, as well as the efficiency of replacing it. By utilizing natural wind power, the blocking block 25 automatically clears the blockage in the water passage 22 under sufficient wind conditions, automatically replenishing the planting box 8 with water and nutrient solution. The self-resetting force of the self-resetting shaft 23 resets the blocking block 25, preventing waste of the mixed solution.
[0045] The components, modules, mechanisms, and devices in this utility model that are not described in detail are all general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structures and principles can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.
[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
