Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aeroponic technology for tillering crops, specifically relating to an aeroponic device for tillering crops. Background Technology

[0002] Tillering refers to the phenomenon in some plants, especially grasses such as wheat and rice, where lateral branches grow from the nodes near the ground. These lateral branches can independently develop into new plants and usually increase crop yield. Aeroponics, on the other hand, is a soilless cultivation technique that provides plants with the necessary water and nutrients by atomizing nutrient solution into tiny particles and spraying them directly onto the plant roots suspended in the air. This cultivation method effectively increases oxygen supply and promotes rapid plant growth.

[0003] Problems with existing technology:

[0004] Currently, when using existing aeroponic devices, tillering crops typically produce multiple lateral branches, resulting in a large root system. However, the nozzles in existing aeroponic structures usually spray nutrient solution directly onto the crop roots, which can easily damage the roots and thus affect crop growth. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tillering crop aeroponic device that can drive the riser to rotate through a transmission mechanism, thereby enabling the spray assembly to rotate. Furthermore, the spray assembly can be angled under the action of an adjustment component, thus avoiding root damage caused by direct spraying of nutrient solution onto the crop roots and affecting crop growth.

[0006] The specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A tillering crop aeroponic device includes a platform, on the top of which a box is fixedly installed via a shell;

[0008] A planting board is fixedly installed on the surface of the platform, and a porous substrate is provided on the surface of the planting board. A cultivation mechanism is provided inside the platform.

[0009] The cultivation mechanism includes a transmission component and a mounting platform. The transmission component drives the riser to rotate the spray component. A cylinder is fixedly installed inside the mounting platform. The cylinder pushes the lifting plate to move the adjustment component vertically, causing the spray component to swing.

[0010] A nutrient solution tank is fixedly installed inside the platform. A pump pipe assembly is fixedly installed on one side of the nutrient solution tank. The top of the nutrient solution tank is connected to the inside of the shell through a return pipe.

[0011] The transmission assembly includes a geared motor, which drives the drive shaft to rotate the transmission pulley belt assembly, causing the transmission pulley belt assembly to rotate the riser via the rotating shaft. The riser is rotatably mounted to the mounting platform, and the bottom of the riser is rotatably mounted to the pump pipe assembly.

[0012] The geared motor is fixedly installed on the top of the housing, and the shaft and rotating shaft are rotatably installed inside the housing, with the rotating shaft passing through the housing and the shell.

[0013] The spray assembly includes an atomizing nozzle, the back of which is connected to a riser via a connecting hose, and a fixing plate is fixedly installed on one side of the atomizing nozzle. The fixing plate is rotatably installed on one side of the riser via a bracket.

[0014] The adjustment assembly includes a mounting plate and a connecting plate. A support frame is hinged between the top of the mounting plate and the spray assembly, and the connecting plate is rotatably mounted to the spray assembly.

[0015] The mounting plate is slidably installed with the riser, and a bearing is provided between the mounting plate and the lifting plate.

[0016] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This invention utilizes a geared motor installed on the top of the housing. This motor drives a shaft to rotate a transmission pulley belt assembly, which in turn rotates the shaft and the riser. Since a spray assembly is installed on the surface of the riser, the spray assembly can be driven to rotate synchronously and slowly. Simultaneously, the fixing plate of the spray assembly is hinged to the mounting plate via a support frame, and the mounting plate slides on the riser. Furthermore, a cylinder can push a lifting plate to cause the mounting plate to slide vertically on the surface of the riser. Because the mounting plate and the lifting plate are equipped with bearings, the angle of the spray assembly can be adjusted by adjusting the assembly while it rotates, thereby further preventing damage to the crop roots caused by direct spraying of nutrient solution.

[0025] 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.

[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a tillering crop aeroponic device includes a platform 1, and a box 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the platform 1 through a shell 2;

[0027] A planting board 7 is fixedly installed on the surface of platform 1. A porous substrate 9 is provided on the surface of the planting board 7. A cultivation mechanism 8 is provided inside platform 1.

[0028] The cultivation mechanism 8 includes a transmission component 81 and a mounting platform 87. The transmission component 81 drives the riser 82 to rotate the spray component 83. A cylinder 86 is fixedly installed inside the mounting platform 87. The cylinder 86 pushes the lifting plate 85 to drive the adjustment component 84 to move vertically, causing the spray component 83 to swing.

[0029] See attached document Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, a nutrient solution tank 4 is fixedly installed inside the platform 1, a pump pipe assembly 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the nutrient solution tank 4, and the top of the nutrient solution tank 4 is connected to the inside of the shell 2 through a return pipe 6.

[0030] In the above embodiment, the pump pipe assembly 5 installed on one side of the nutrient solution tank 4 consists of a pump body and a pipe. The pump body is fixedly installed with the nutrient solution tank 4, and the end of the pipe is connected to the cultivation mechanism 8. Therefore, when the pump body is started, the nutrient solution inside the nutrient solution tank 4 can be sent to the inside of the cultivation mechanism 8 and sprayed out, thereby performing aeroponic cultivation on the tillering crops planted on the surface of the planting plate 7.

[0031] Furthermore, since the top of the return pipe 6 penetrates the shell 2 and the bottom of the return pipe 6 penetrates the nutrient solution tank 4, excess nutrient solution inside the shell 2 can be sent back to the nutrient solution tank 4 through the return pipe 6. At the same time, a filter screen is installed inside the return pipe 6 to filter the recovered nutrient solution, thereby avoiding affecting the quality of the nutrient solution and ensuring the growth effect of the tillering crops planted on the planting board 7.

[0032] See attached document Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the transmission assembly 81 includes a reduction motor 811. The reduction motor 811 drives the shaft 812 to drive the transmission pulley belt assembly 813 to rotate, so that the transmission pulley belt assembly 813 drives the riser 82 to rotate through the rotating shaft 814. The riser 82 is rotatably mounted on the mounting platform 87, and the bottom of the riser 82 is rotatably mounted on the pump pipe assembly 5.

[0033] In the above embodiment, since the geared motor 811 is fixedly installed on the top of the housing 3, and the shaft 812 and the rotating shaft 814 are rotatably installed inside the housing 3, when the geared motor 811 is started, the shaft 812 and the transmission pulley belt assembly 813 can rotate inside the housing 3.

[0034] Furthermore, since the rotating shaft 814 passes through the box body 3 and the shell 2, and the bottom of the rotating shaft 814 is connected to the riser 82, the riser 82 can be rotated synchronously and buffered. Since the surface of the riser 82 is equipped with a spray assembly 83, the spray assembly 83 can be driven to rotate synchronously and spray the roots of tillering crops when the riser 82 rotates.

[0035] Specifically, the spray assembly 83 includes an atomizing nozzle 831, the back of which is connected to the riser 82 via a connecting hose 833. A fixing plate 832 is fixedly installed on one side of the atomizing nozzle 831, and the other side of the fixing plate 832 is rotatably installed on the riser 82 via a bracket 834. The nutrient solution can be delivered into the atomizing nozzle 831 and atomized and sprayed out by the riser 82 and the connecting hose 833. The fixing plate 832 and the bracket 834 enable the spray assembly 83 to be installed on the riser 82.

[0036] More specifically, since the spray assembly 83 is hinged to the adjustment assembly 84 via the fixed plate 832, the pitch angle of the spray assembly 83 can be adjusted during rotation under the action of the adjustment assembly 84, thereby further improving the spraying effect.

[0037] It is worth noting that the adjustment component 84 includes a mounting plate 841 and a connecting plate 843. The top of the mounting plate 841 is hinged to the spray component 83 with a support frame 842, and the connecting plate 843 is rotatably mounted to the spray component 83. Therefore, when the cylinder 86 installed inside the mounting platform 87 is activated, the mounting plate 841 can be driven by the lifting plate 85 to push the support frame 842 upward, thereby causing the support frame 842 to push the fixed plate 832 and the atomizing nozzle 831 to swing. Since there are multiple atomizing nozzles 831, and the multiple atomizing nozzles 831 are hinged to each other by the connecting plate 843, when the angle of the bottommost atomizing nozzle 831 is adjusted, the multiple atomizing nozzles 831 can be adjusted synchronously.

[0038] It should be noted that the mounting plate 841 and the riser 82 are slidably installed and are keyed together. Therefore, when the riser 82 rotates, it can drive the mounting plate 841 to rotate synchronously. Since there is a bearing between the mounting plate 841 and the lifting plate 85, and the inner surface of the bearing is fixedly installed to the mounting plate 841 and the outer surface of the bearing is fixedly installed to the lifting plate 85, the lifting plate 85 will not be affected when the mounting plate 841 rotates. Furthermore, when the lifting plate 85 moves vertically, the mounting plate 841 can also move vertically synchronously.

[0039] The working principle of this invention is as follows: After planting plants on the porous substrate 9 on the surface of the planting board 7, aeroponics can be performed. During the use of the device, the nutrient solution inside the nutrient solution tank 4 can be sent into the riser 82 by activating the pump pipe assembly 5, and then atomized and sprayed out by the spray assembly 83. During the spraying process, the reduction motor 811 can be activated to drive the shaft 812 to rotate the transmission pulley assembly 813, which in turn drives the riser 82 to rotate through the rotating shaft 814. This causes the riser 82 to rotate, which in turn drives the spray assembly 83 to rotate, thus avoiding prolonged direct spraying of nutrient solution onto the root system of tillering crops. Simultaneously, during the rotation spraying process, the lifting plate 85 can be pushed upward by starting the cylinder 86, thereby causing the lifting plate 85 to drive the support frame 842 upward through the mounting plate 841. Since the position of the spray assembly 83 is fixed by the bracket 834, and the atomizing nozzle 831 can only swing under the action of the fixed plate 832, the support frame 842 can push the atomizing nozzle 831 to swing. Since multiple atomizing nozzles 831 are connected by the connecting plate 843, multiple atomizing nozzles 831 can swing synchronously, further improving the spray range and making the spray more uniform, thereby avoiding damage to the root system of tillering crops.

[0040] 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.
