Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable planting technology, specifically a soilless vegetable planting device. Background Technology

[0002] Against the backdrop of rapid urbanization and increasingly scarce agricultural land resources, soilless cultivation technology, with its characteristics of being unrestricted by soil and having high space utilization, has become an important direction for the development of modern agriculture. In order to maximize the use of limited space and achieve high-density vegetable planting, existing soilless cultivation devices often adopt a compact and multi-layered high-rise rack design. Although this design has advantages in space utilization, due to the close arrangement of the racks and the high number of layers, workers are easily obstructed by the space of the surrounding racks when performing daily operations such as planting, pruning, harvesting, or health checks on the central racks. This results in limited tool usage and difficult operating angles. For high-rise planting areas, ladders and other auxiliary tools are required, further increasing the complexity of operations. These problems not only prolong the time of each operation and reduce work efficiency, but frequent operations may also cause bumps and damage to the plants, affecting the quality and yield of vegetables.

[0003] To improve the spatial operability of soilless cultivation devices, reduce labor costs, minimize the risk of plant damage, and maintain the advantages of high-density planting, we propose a soilless vegetable cultivation device. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a soilless vegetable cultivation device that can improve the spatial operability of soilless cultivation devices, reduce labor costs, reduce the risk of plant damage, and maintain the advantages of high-density planting.

The end of the first rotary joint away from the connecting pipe is rotatably connected to a bend. A first liquid pump is fixedly installed on the base plate, and the drain port of the first liquid pump is fixedly connected to a drain pipe. The end of the drain pipe away from the first liquid pump is fixedly connected to a fourth rotary joint, and the end of the fourth rotary joint away from the drain pipe is rotatably connected to the left mounting tube.

[0012] Beneficial effects

[0013] This invention provides a soilless vegetable cultivation device. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0014] During use, the rotating frame is initially vertical, with multiple liquid storage boxes arranged closely together to save space.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a soilless vegetable cultivation device, including a base plate 1, two sets of support plates 5 fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, an installation pipe 9 rotatably passing through the support plate 5, a rotating frame 6 fixedly sleeved on the outside of the installation pipe 9, several sets of bent pipes 12 rotatably passing through the rotating frame 6, a third rotary joint 19 rotatably connecting the end of the bent pipe 12 away from the rotating frame 6, a liquid storage box 17 fixedly connecting the end of the third rotary joint 19 away from the bent pipe 12, a cultivation tray 16 installed on the liquid storage box 17, several sets of cultivation holes opened on the cultivation tray 16, and several sets of handles 18 fixedly connected to the top of the cultivation tray 16.

[0024] During use, when the rotating frame 6 is in a vertical position, multiple sets of liquid storage boxes 17 are arranged in sequence along the vertical direction. In this state, the overall volume is small and the space utilization rate is high. When it is necessary to perform routine operations such as pruning, harvesting, or health checks on the planted vegetables, the rotating frame 6 can be manually rotated. During the rotation of the rotating frame 6, the liquid storage boxes 17 remain in a horizontal position under the action of gravity, ensuring that the vegetables and nutrient solution will not tip over. Until the rotating frame 6 is rotated to a horizontal position, the liquid storage boxes 17 are arranged in sequence along the horizontal direction, which is convenient for operators to operate, improves work efficiency, reduces labor intensity, and is less likely to damage the plants. Thus, while maintaining the advantages of high-density planting, it improves the space operability of the soilless cultivation device, reduces labor costs, and reduces the risk of plant damage.

[0025] The end of the mounting pipe 9 away from the support plate 5 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 10. Several sets of first rotary joints 11 are fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 10. The end of the first rotary joint 11 away from the connecting pipe 10 is rotatably connected to the bend pipe 12. The base plate 1 is fixedly installed with a first liquid pump 3. The discharge port of the first liquid pump 3 is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe 4. The end of the discharge pipe 4 away from the first liquid pump 3 is fixedly connected to a fourth rotary joint 25. The end of the fourth rotary joint 25 away from the discharge pipe 4 is rotatably connected to the left mounting pipe 9.

[0026] The first liquid pump 3 injects nutrient solution and other liquids into the drain pipe 4, which then drains into the installation pipe 9 and the connecting pipe 10. Subsequently, the liquid is drained into the bend pipe 12 through the first rotary joint 11, and then into the storage box 17 from the bend pipe 12, thus supplying nutrients and water to the cultivated vegetables.

[0027] The right end of the mounting pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 13. The right end of the connecting pipe 13 is rotatably connected to the second rotary joint 14. The right end of the second rotary joint 14 is fixedly connected to the liquid extraction pipe 15. The top of the base plate 1 is fixedly installed with the second liquid pump 8. The suction port of the second liquid pump 8 is fixedly connected to the liquid extraction pipe 15.

[0028] When it is necessary to replace the nutrient solution or other liquids in the storage box 17, the second liquid pump 8 can be started. Under the action of the second liquid pump 8, the nutrient solution or other liquids in the storage box 17 pass through the bent pipe 12, the connecting pipe 10, the connecting pipe 13, the second rotary joint 14 and the suction pipe 15 in sequence, and finally are discharged from the drain port of the second liquid pump 8.

[0029] A threaded sleeve 27 is threaded onto the external thread of the connecting pipe 13. A sliding pipe 21 is rotatably connected to the left side of the threaded sleeve 27. The sliding pipe 21 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the connecting pipe 13. A locking block 26 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the sliding pipe 21. A locking disc 20 is fixedly connected to the right support plate 5. A slot matching the locking block 26 is opened on the locking disc 20. A handle 22 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the connecting pipe 13.

[0030] When the angle of the rotating frame 6 needs to be adjusted by rotating the screw cylinder 27, the sliding tube 21 and the locking block 26 can be rotated to slide outside the connecting tube 13, so that the locking block 26 is away from the locking plate 20. Then the handle 22 is rotated to drive the rotating frame 6 to rotate. After the rotating frame 6 is rotated to a horizontal state, the sliding tube 21 is rotated in the opposite direction so that the locking block 26 is inserted into the slot on the locking plate 20, thereby locking the rotating frame 6 and fixing the rotating frame 6 on the support plate 5 so that it no longer shakes.

[0031] Several sets of connecting cylinders 24 are fixedly connected to the rotating frame 6. A support rod 7 is rotatably sleeved on the outside of the connecting cylinder 24. A threaded rod 28 is threaded through the connecting cylinder 24. A knob 23 is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded rod 28 away from the rotating frame 6.

[0032] After the rotating frame 6 is rotated to a horizontal position, the knob 23 is turned to drive the threaded rod 28 to rotate, so that the knob 23 moves away from the support rod 7, thereby releasing the restriction on the support rod 7. Then the support rod 7 is rotated to support the support rod 7 on the ground, thereby further improving the stability of the rotating frame 6. Then the knob 23 is turned in the opposite direction to press the support rod 7 against the ground again.

[0033] Several sets of casters 2 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate 1. This facilitates moving the device to a suitable position.

[0034] Working Principle: In the initial state, the rotating frame 6 is vertical, and multiple sets of liquid storage boxes 17 are closely arranged vertically. This results in a small overall volume and high space utilization. When routine operations such as vegetable pruning, harvesting, or health checks are required, the threaded cylinder 27 is manually rotated, causing the sliding tube 21 and locking block 26 to slide outside the connecting tube 13, moving the locking block 26 away from the locking disc 20 and releasing the locking state of the rotating frame 6. Then, the handle 22 is rotated to rotate the rotating frame 6. During rotation, the liquid storage boxes 17 remain horizontal under gravity, preventing vegetables and nutrient solution from tipping over. This continues until the rotating frame 6 reaches a horizontal position, at which point the liquid storage boxes 17 are arranged horizontally, facilitating operation and improving work efficiency. This reduces labor intensity and minimizes damage to plants, thus maintaining the advantages of high-density planting while enhancing the space operability of the soilless cultivation device, reducing labor costs, and minimizing the risk of plant damage. After reaching a horizontal position, the sliding tube 21 is rotated in the opposite direction to insert the locking block 26 into the slot of the locking disc 20, relocking the rotating frame 6. At the same time, the knob 23 is rotated to drive the threaded rod 28 to rotate, moving the knob 23 away from the support rod 7 to release the restriction. Then, the support rod 7 is rotated to support the ground, further enhancing the stability of the rotating frame 6. Subsequently, the knob 23 is rotated in the opposite direction to press against the support rod 7 to complete the fixation. In terms of the supply of nutrient solution and other liquids, the first liquid pump 3 is used to inject the nutrient solution into the drain pipe 4, which is then diverted to the installation pipe 9 and the connecting pipe 10. It then flows into the bent pipe 12 through the first rotary joint 11 and is finally delivered to the storage box 17 to nourish the vegetables. When it is necessary to replace the nutrient solution and other liquids in the storage box 17, the second liquid pump 8 is started. Under its action, the nutrient solution passes through the bent pipe 12, the connecting pipe 10, the connecting pipe 13, the second rotary joint 14, and the extraction pipe 15 in sequence, and is finally discharged from the drain port of the second liquid pump 8, realizing the circulation and renewal of liquids and ensuring the healthy growth of vegetables.
