Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of plant cultivation technology, specifically relating to a transparent device for hydroponic plant cultivation using solid substrates. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of horticulture and plant cultivation today, hydroponics, as an efficient, clean, and innovative method of plant cultivation, is gradually gaining widespread attention. However, existing hydroponic methods have many shortcomings and urgently need improvement and innovation.

[0003] Currently, there are two main types of hydroponics. The first is the floating object method, which involves placing floating objects on the water surface and fixing the plants to them for cultivation. However, this method has significant drawbacks: First, its structure is bulky and cannot be miniaturized, which greatly limits its application in environments with limited space; second, due to its complex overall structure and large size, it is prone to damage and deformation during transportation, making it inconvenient to transport and increasing transportation costs and the risk of loss; third, the plant roots are obscured under the floating object, making it difficult to observe root growth directly, hindering the timely detection of root diseases and abnormal growth, thus affecting the healthy growth of the plant.

[0004] The second common hydroponic method is flower arranging or hydroponics, which involves directly inserting plants into a cup containing nutrient solution. This seemingly simple method also has serious drawbacks: firstly, its structure is not conducive to transportation, as plants are easily squeezed and bumped during transport, leading to damage or nutrient solution leakage; secondly, and most importantly, this method cannot provide sufficient oxygen for plant root growth. Plant roots require a large amount of oxygen during growth, but roots directly immersed in nutrient solution suffer from insufficient oxygen supply, easily leading to root hypoxia, root rot, and severely affecting the survival rate and growth quality of the plant, thus limiting the growth cycle and ornamental value of hydroponically grown plants.

[0005] To address the problems of difficulty in observing root elongation and root rot due to insufficient oxygen supply in existing hydroponic devices, it is necessary to improve the structure of the hydroponic device to solve the current technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a transparent device for hydroponic cultivation of plants in a solid substrate, which enables the device to be miniaturized, easy to transport, convenient to observe the growth of plant roots, and provides sufficient oxygen to the plant roots.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a transparent hydroponic device for solid substrate plants, comprising a cultivation container with an open top, wherein a horizontally installed partition is provided inside the cultivation container, the partition dividing the cultivation container into an upper cultivation section and a lower cultivation section, wherein nutrient soil is placed inside the upper cultivation section, and nutrient water is placed inside the lower cultivation section, wherein the partition is provided with multiple fine holes and perforations, and cotton fibers are threaded through the perforations, wherein one end of the cotton fiber extends upward into the upper cultivation section, and the other end extends downward into the lower cultivation section, and the side wall of the lower cultivation section is provided with at least one through hole near the partition.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the partition separates the nutrient soil layer and the nutrient water layer, and uses through holes to drain excess water, forming an air barrier between the partition and the nutrient water. Before the plant roots grow into the nutrient solution, multiple perforations are made in the partition, and cotton fibers are threaded through the perforations. One end of the cotton fiber extends upward into the upper culture section, and the other end extends downward into the lower culture section. The capillary action of the cotton fiber is used to send the water in the nutrient solution to the substrate, that is, the nutrient soil, to provide nutrients and water for the plants in the substrate. Because the partition has fine pores, the air barrier layer can provide sufficient oxygen to the nutrient soil layer through the fine pores.

[0009] As the plant grows, its roots extend through the small holes in the partition into the nutrient water in the lower culture section. During this process, they pass through an air barrier layer, ensuring that the roots receive sufficient oxygen and preventing root rot. At the same time, the perforations also help to observe the growth of the plant roots, ensuring healthy plant growth.

[0010] To better realize this utility model, the culture container is a transparent structure.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution and using a transparent culture container for cultivation, the growth of plant roots can be observed more clearly and intuitively.

[0012] To better realize this utility model, the partition is movably installed inside the culture container.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, it is easier to remove the plant from the culture container during plant transplantation.

[0014] To better realize this utility model, the partition is symmetrically provided with two lifting rods, and the top ends of the two lifting rods are fixed with lifting rings.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, a pull rod with a pull ring is set up to further improve the convenience of removing the partition. The partition can be removed simply by holding the pull ring, which is simple, convenient and quick.

[0016] To better realize this utility model, the inner wall of the culture container is provided with multiple support plates along the circumferential direction, and the multiple support plates are located above the through hole.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the partition and nutrient water are separated by the partition of the support plate, leaving an air barrier layer to provide sufficient oxygen supply for the plant roots and ensure their healthy growth.

[0018] To better realize this utility model, the inner wall of the culture container is symmetrically provided with two hooks for hanging the lifting ring. After the lifting ring is hung on the hook, the partition is located above the through hole.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting ring is hung on the hook, so that the partition is suspended above the nutrient water, leaving an air gap layer to provide sufficient oxygen supply for the plant roots and ensure their healthy growth.

[0020] Beneficial effects:

[0021] This invention separates the nutrient soil layer and the nutrient water layer through a partition and uses through holes to drain excess water, forming an air barrier between the partition and the nutrient water. Before the plant roots grow into the nutrient solution, multiple perforations are made in the partition, and cotton fibers are threaded through the perforations. One end of the cotton fiber extends upward into the upper culture layer, and the other end extends downward into the lower culture layer. The capillary action of the cotton fiber delivers water from the nutrient solution to the substrate, i.e., the nutrient soil, providing nutrients and water to the plants in the substrate. Because the partition has fine pores, the air barrier layer can provide sufficient oxygen to the nutrient soil layer through the pores.

[0022] As the plant grows, its roots extend through the small holes in the partition into the nutrient water in the lower culture section. During this process, they pass through an air barrier layer, ensuring that the roots receive sufficient oxygen and preventing root rot. At the same time, the perforations also help to observe the growth of the plant roots, ensuring healthy plant growth. Attached Figure Description

[0026] 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.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the solid substrate plant hydroponic transparent device includes a culture container 1 with an open top. The culture container 1 has a transparent structure, which facilitates observation of the plant root growth.

[0029] A partition 2 is horizontally installed inside the culture container 1, dividing the culture container 1 into an upper culture section 3 and a lower culture section 4. The upper culture section 3 contains nutrient soil, and the lower culture section 4 contains nutrient water. The partition 2 has multiple fine holes 5 to allow the plant roots to penetrate into the nutrient water in the lower part. The partition 2 also has multiple perforations 11, through which cotton fibers 12 are threaded. One end of the cotton fiber 12 extends upward into the upper culture section 3, and the other end extends downward into the lower culture section 4. Before the plant roots grow into the nutrient solution, the capillary action of the cotton fiber 12 carries the water in the nutrient solution to the substrate, that is, the nutrient soil, to provide nutrients and water for the plants in the substrate.

[0030] The lower cultivation section 4 has at least one through hole 6 near the partition 2 on its side wall. The partition 2 separates the nutrient soil layer and the nutrient water layer, and the through hole 6 drains excess water, forming an air barrier between the partition 2 and the nutrient water. When the plant grows, the roots extend into the nutrient water of the lower cultivation section 4 through the fine holes 5 on the partition 2. During this process, they pass through the air barrier layer, which ensures that the roots can get enough oxygen and prevents the plant roots from rotting. At the same time, the through hole 6 also helps to observe the growth of the plant roots and ensure the healthy growth of the plant.

[0031] The partition 2 is movably installed inside the culture container 1. Two lifting rods 7 are symmetrically installed on the partition 2, and lifting rings 8 are fixedly installed at the top of the two lifting rods 7.

[0032] Multiple support plates 9 are installed circumferentially on the inner wall of the cultivation container 1. The partition 2 is placed directly on the support plates 9, and the multiple support plates 9 are located above the through holes 6. When the plants need to be transplanted after being cultivated to a certain extent, two lifting rods 7 with lifting rings 8 are set on the partition 2 for easy transplanting. During cultivation, nutrient water is first injected into the cultivation container 1, and the partition 2 is placed on the support plates 9 by holding the lifting rings 8. Then, nutrient soil is laid for plant cultivation. When transplanting, the entire partition 2 is lifted by holding the lifting rings 8 to remove the plant from the cultivation container 1.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the solid substrate plant hydroponic transparent device includes a culture container 1 with an open top. The culture container 1 has a transparent structure, which facilitates observation of the plant root growth.

[0035] A partition 2 is horizontally installed inside the culture container 1, dividing the culture container 1 into an upper culture section 3 and a lower culture section 4. The upper culture section 3 contains nutrient soil, and the lower culture section 4 contains nutrient water. The partition 2 has multiple fine holes 5 to allow the plant roots to penetrate into the nutrient water in the lower part. The partition 2 also has multiple perforations 11, through which cotton fibers 12 are threaded. One end of the cotton fiber 12 extends upward into the upper culture section 3, and the other end extends downward into the lower culture section 4. Before the plant roots grow into the nutrient solution, the capillary action of the cotton fiber 12 carries the water in the nutrient solution to the substrate, that is, the nutrient soil, to provide nutrients and water for the plants in the substrate.

[0036] The lower cultivation section 4 has at least one through hole 6 near the partition 2 on its side wall. The partition 2 separates the nutrient soil layer and the nutrient water layer, and the through hole 6 drains excess water, forming an air barrier between the partition 2 and the nutrient water. When the plant grows, the roots extend into the nutrient water of the lower cultivation section 4 through the fine holes 5 on the partition 2. During this process, they pass through the air barrier layer, which ensures that the roots can get enough oxygen and prevents the plant roots from rotting. At the same time, the through hole 6 also helps to observe the growth of the plant roots and ensure the healthy growth of the plant.

[0037] The partition 2 is movably installed inside the culture container 1. The partition 2 is symmetrically provided with two lifting rods 7, and the top of the two lifting rods 7 is fixed with a lifting ring 8.

[0038] The inner wall of the cultivation container 1 is symmetrically provided with two hooks 10 for hanging lifting rings 8. After the lifting rings 8 are hung on the hooks 10, the partition 2 is located above the through hole 6. When the plant needs to be transplanted after being cultivated to a certain extent, in order to facilitate transplantation, two lifting rods 7 with lifting rings 8 are set on the partition 2. During cultivation, nutrient water is first poured into the cultivation container 1, and then the partition 2 is placed in the cultivation container 1 by holding the lifting rings 8, and the lifting rings 8 are hung on the hooks 10, so that the partition 2 is suspended above the nutrient water. Then, nutrient soil is laid for plant cultivation. When transplanting, the plant can be taken out of the cultivation container 1 by simply holding the lifting rings 8 and lifting the entire partition 2.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.
