Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of soilless cultivation pipeline technology, specifically relating to anti-clogging soilless cultivation pipeline components. Background Technology
[0002] The hydroponic piping system is a crucial component of any hydroponic system, primarily responsible for the delivery and circulation of the nutrient solution. In hydroponic cultivation, containers typically include plastic pots, ceramic pots, glass bottles, metal pots, earthenware pots, or specially designed pipes (such as PVC pipes). These containers must be waterproof to support the plants and anchor their roots. For pipe cultivation, planting holes are provided for planting crops, allowing some of the plant's roots to enter the nutrient solution for nutrient absorption.
[0003] In deep nutrient flow systems, nutrient solution is continuously circulated to the plants through pipes. Because the nutrient solution contains various inorganic salts and other nutrients, these substances may gradually deposit on the inner walls of the pipes during long-term circulation, forming deposits that are difficult to remove. When the pipes become blocked, the smoothness of the entire system is greatly reduced, preventing the nutrient solution from being transported normally and efficiently to the plant roots. This not only directly affects the plant's absorption and utilization of nutrients but may also further exacerbate the blockage due to the accumulation or uneven distribution of the nutrient solution, potentially causing irreversible damage to the plant's growth. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a clogging-resistant hydroponic pipeline assembly to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that current hydroponic pipeline assemblies do not have an anti-clogging function.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an anti-clogging hydroponic pipeline assembly, including a pipe support with a hollow interior and sealed ends; multiple culture pipes; both ends of the culture pipes are connected to the interior of the pipe support, thereby enabling the installation of the pipe support and the culture pipes and the transmission of nutrient solution; the bottom of the pipe support is also connected to an inlet pipe, which is located at the bottom of the lowest culture pipe, and when the nutrient solution is injected into the interior of the pipe support through the inlet pipe, it can be injected into all the culture pipes; it also includes an anti-clogging component, which consists of a filter element and self-cleaning rings, wherein the filter element is installed on the inlet pipe, and multiple self-cleaning rings are provided and distributed inside the culture pipes. The self-cleaning rings fit seamlessly with the inner wall of the culture pipes, thereby facilitating installation and preventing displacement under the flushing of liquid. In actual use, a self-cleaning ring with a smaller outer diameter can be selected, and a rubber ring can be fitted on the outside of the self-cleaning ring to increase damping.
[0006] Preferably, the inner wall of the self-cleaning ring has multiple irregularly shaped protrusions, and a flow groove is formed between every two irregularly shaped protrusions. The irregularly shaped protrusions and the flow grooves have the same shape, and the irregularly shaped protrusions are generally in the shape of "∫". When the liquid passes between the flow groove and the irregularly shaped protrusions, the liquid will impact the inner wall of the irregularly shaped protrusions, thereby discharging any impurities that may adhere to them, thus achieving the purpose of self-cleaning. The inner surface dimension of the irregularly shaped protrusions should be 1 mm, so that even if impurities adhere to them, they will be directly cleaned by the liquid.
[0007] Preferably, one end of the self-cleaning ring has a groove on its outer surface, while the other end of the self-cleaning ring has an integral convex ring. The convex ring of one self-cleaning ring is inserted into the groove of another adjacent self-cleaning ring. In use, the corresponding number of self-cleaning rings can be selected for installation according to the spacing between the implantation sites.
[0008] Preferably, the filter element includes an inlet bend connected to the inlet pipe, the inlet bend having two parallel portions and a vertical portion connecting the two parallel portions. A filter screen is installed in the vertical portion of the inlet bend, wherein one parallel portion of the inlet bend is connected to the inlet pipe and the other parallel portion is connected to an external nutrient solution supply device. When the nutrient solution is injected into the inlet bend, the nutrient solution is filtered through the filter screen.
[0009] Preferably, the vertical part of the inlet bend has a through hole for inserting the filter screen tube, thereby enabling the filter screen tube to be installed and removed. A rubber block is also installed on the top of the filter screen tube, and the side of the rubber block is sealed and pressed against the inner wall of the through hole to prevent the nutrient solution from seeping out of the inlet bend.
[0010] Preferably, a rear support is also installed on the rear side of the pipe support, and the connection between the rear support and the pipe support is not connected.
[0011] Preferably, the top of the cultivation pipe has multiple planting ports, and the self-cleaning ring is located within the spacing between every two planting ports to avoid affecting normal planting.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] By incorporating an anti-clogging component into the hydroponic pipeline assembly, this invention solves the potential blockage problem within the pipeline, ensuring smooth nutrient solution delivery. The addition of the anti-clogging component not only improves the overall performance of the pipeline assembly but also significantly enhances its durability and reliability. It effectively prevents the accumulation of impurities and particulate matter within the pipeline, thereby avoiding nutrient solution delivery obstacles caused by blockages. This improvement not only ensures a continuous and stable nutrient supply for plants but also further enhances the overall efficiency and crop yield of the hydroponic system.
