Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable planting technology, specifically a hydroponic device for growing vegetables on a home balcony. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing awareness of healthy eating and growing concerns about frequent food safety issues in recent years, home vegetable cultivation has become a popular trend. Hydroponics is an advanced and mature soilless cultivation technology that overcomes the shortcomings of traditional cultivation techniques, such as continuous cropping obstacles and low water and fertilizer utilization. It enables continuous and efficient production, is environmentally friendly and hygienic, has high space utilization, facilitates centralized management, and greatly reduces the manual input during plant growth, thus achieving simplified cultivation.

[0003] To make home gardening more convenient, small vegetable growing racks have emerged. To save space, current home hydroponic systems are multi-layered frame structures with equal spacing between each layer and fixed connections that cannot be adjusted. However, different vegetables require different planting heights and have different growth heights, which means that many vegetables cannot be cultivated well, resulting in significant limitations of hydroponic systems.

[0004] Based on this, a hydroponic device for growing vegetables on a home balcony is now provided, which can eliminate the drawbacks of existing devices. Utility Model Content

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a hydroponic device for growing vegetables on a home balcony includes a frame assembly and several planting components that are slidably mounted on the frame assembly.

[0027] The planting assembly consists of a hydroponic box 5 and an inner cultivation box 6. A snap-fit ​​assembly is provided on both sides of the hydroponic box 5. Each snap-fit ​​assembly includes a through groove 15, and several through grooves 15 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the hydroponic box 5. A sliding plate 16 is slidably installed inside one side of the hydroponic box 5. A snap-fit ​​post 17 is fixedly connected to both ends of one side of the sliding plate 16. The other end of the snap-fit ​​post 17 penetrates one side of the hydroponic box 5 and is slidably connected to an adjacent through groove 15. Several springs 18 are fixedly connected in an array to the other side of the sliding plate 16. The other ends of each spring 18 are fixedly connected to an adjacent side of the hydroponic box 5. A pull rod 19 is slidably installed on one side of the hydroponic box 5, and both ends of the pull rod 19 penetrate one side of the hydroponic box 5 and are fixedly connected to one side of an adjacent sliding plate 16.

[0028] In this embodiment, the hydroponic box 5 is first connected to the mounting rod 2 through the corresponding through slot 15 on the hydroponic box 5, and then the hydroponic box 5 is installed on the mounting rod 2. Then, the pull rods 19 on both sides are pulled to pull the buckle post 17 out of the through slot 15. The position of the hydroponic box 5 is then adjusted. After adjusting to a suitable height, the pull rods 19 are released. At this time, the spring 18 pushes the slide plate 16 to send the buckle post 17 into the through slot 15. Then, the position of the hydroponic box 5 is slightly adjusted up and down so that the buckle post 17 slides into the adjacent buckle slot, thus fixing the height of the hydroponic box 5 and completing the installation of the planting component.

[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the frame assembly includes a base 1, and several mounting rods 2 are fixedly connected around the upper surface of the base 1. Several snap-fit ​​slots are opened through the surface of the mounting rods 2, and the snap-fit ​​slots are snap-fit ​​connected to the corresponding through slots 15. A water tank 4 is provided at the upper end of the base 1, and the water tank 4 stores [something].

[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, a water inlet trough 20 is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the hydroponic box 5. The lower end of the inner cultivation box 6 is slidably connected to the water inlet trough 20. A U-shaped groove 7 is provided on both sides of the lower surface of the inner cultivation box 6. The U-shaped groove 7 is slidably connected to the sides of the adjacent hydroponic box 5. The U-shaped groove 7 facilitates the installation of the inner cultivation box 6 and the hydroponic box 5.

[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, a float assembly is provided on one side of the hydroponic box 5 to facilitate observation of the water level.

[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the float assembly includes a water level tank 10, which is located on one side of the hydroponic tank 5. A filter hole 11 is provided on one side of the water level tank 10. A limiting groove 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the water level tank 10. A float 13 is provided inside the limiting groove 12. When water is poured into the water tank 20, the water will enter the water level tank 10 through the filter hole 11. At this time, the float 13 will float up as the water level rises. Combined with the scale 14, the position of the water level can be easily observed, thereby achieving precise water level control and reaching the optimal cultivation water level.

[0033] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, a scale 14 is provided on one side of the hydroponic box 5 to facilitate accurate judgment of the water level.

[0034] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, a water inlet faucet 8 is installed through one side of the upper end of the hydroponic box 5, and a water outlet faucet 9 is installed through one side of the lower end of the hydroponic box 5. During installation, the water circulation device is connected to the water inlet faucet 8 through a hose to start filling the water tank 20 with water. The other end of the water circulation device is connected to the lower end of the faucet 9 through a hose to realize water circulation.

[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, several self-locking universal casters 3 are fixedly connected around the lower surface of the base 1 to facilitate the movement of the entire unit.

[0036] The above embodiment discloses a hydroponic device for growing vegetables on a home balcony. In use, the hydroponic box 5 is first connected to the mounting rod 2 via the corresponding through slot 15. The hydroponic box 5 is then installed onto the mounting rod 2. Next, the pull rods 19 on both sides are pulled to extend the locking posts 17 out of the through slots 15. The position of the hydroponic box 5 is then adjusted. Once the appropriate height is reached, the pull rods 19 are released. At this point, the spring 18 pushes the sliding plate 16, inserting the locking posts 17 into the through slots 15. The position of the hydroponic box 5 is then slightly adjusted up and down, allowing the locking posts 17 to slide into adjacent locking slots, thus fixing the height of the hydroponic box 5 and completing the installation of the planting components. The inner cultivation box 6 is placed inside the water filling tank 20. The inner cultivation box 6 is installed by the U-shaped grooves 7 on both sides and the limiting position on both sides of the hydroponic box 5. During installation, the water circulation device is connected to the water inlet faucet 8 through a hose to start filling the water filling tank 20 with water. The other end of the water circulation device is connected to the lower end of the faucet 9 through a hose to realize water circulation. Finally, the water circulation is realized by connecting the faucet 9 at the bottom to the water tank 4. The water will enter the water level tank 10 through the filter hole 11. At this time, the float ball 13 will float up as the water level rises. Combined with the scale 14, the water level position can be easily observed, so as to achieve precise water level control and achieve the best cultivation water level.

[0037] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
