Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soilless cultivation technology, specifically an indoor vegetable growing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Soilless cultivation refers to a cultivation method that uses a substrate instead of natural soil, or only a substrate during seedling cultivation, and then irrigates with nutrient solution after transplanting. Because soilless cultivation can artificially create a favorable rhizosphere environment to replace the soil environment, it effectively prevents diseases caused by continuous cropping and physiological disorders caused by soil salinity accumulation. It fully meets the crop's needs for mineral nutrients, water, gas, and other environmental conditions. Furthermore, the basic materials used in cultivation can be recycled, thus offering advantages such as water conservation, fertilizer conservation, labor conservation, and high yield and quality.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN107094611A discloses a three-dimensional home vegetable growing machine, which includes a main body. The machine consists of a base, a liquid storage tank, a seedling layer, a seedling tray, nutrient solution pipes, planting cups, a planting layer, LED lights, a speaker, and a display screen. The base is composed of a support frame, a seedling layer, and a planting layer. This invention utilizes gravity to allow the nutrient solution pumped to the top layer to naturally flow back, forming a nutrient supply circulation system. Timed and quantitative supply ensures nutrient absorption while saving energy. Specialized full-spectrum LED lights for vegetable growth illuminate the vegetables for 6-8 hours daily, mimicking the solar spectrum, effectively providing the light energy needed for vegetable growth. Furthermore, this invention can be operated indoors, has a small footprint, low technical requirements, requires no special personnel, is safe, environmentally friendly, pollution-free, and can purify the air.

[0004] However, in practical applications, the planting layers of existing vertical planting equipment are usually fixedly welded to the supporting frame. Although it can plant in layers, the height of the planting layers cannot be flexibly adjusted. When vegetables grow to different stages (such as the seedling stage and the mature stage), it is difficult to adjust the spacing between the planting layers according to the height of the plants, which may lead to uneven lighting or wasted space. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an indoor vegetable planting machine. This technical solution solves the problem mentioned in the background art that the planting layer of the existing three-dimensional planting equipment is usually fixedly welded to the supporting frame. Although it can plant in layers, the height of the planting layer cannot be flexibly adjusted. When the vegetables grow to different stages (such as the seedling stage and the mature stage), it is difficult to adjust the spacing of the planting layers according to the height of the plants, which may lead to uneven lighting or wasted space.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
