Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydroponic technology, specifically to a device for preventing lodging in mature rice plants during hydroponic cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] Hydroponics is an important method for plant research. Due to the lack of soil (or substrate) for fixation, a fixing device is needed to fix or limit its position.

[0003] Currently, existing hydroponic rice cultivation devices are mainly limited to seedling stage cultivation, using sponge to wrap the base of the stem and fix it in the planting hole. However, they cannot be used for mature plant cultivation. One of the main reasons is that the plants become very tall after they mature, and the existing devices cannot fix the plants well, which can easily cause them to fall over. Utility Model Content

[0028] 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.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-8 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0030] A device for preventing lodging in hydroponics of mature rice plants includes a support device 1, a hydroponic liquid tank 2, and a cover 3. The cover 3 is fitted over the hydroponic liquid tank 2. A planting hole is provided on the top of the cover 3. A threaded rod 6 and a metal block 4 are fixedly connected around the planting hole. A limiting rod 5 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the metal block 4. The threaded rod 6 and the limiting rod 5 are used to connect the support device 1.

[0031] The support device 1 includes a hollow flange cylinder 11 and a support assembly 12. The flange cylinder 11 is threadedly fixed above the planting hole by a threaded rod 6, and the support assembly 12 is connected to the top of the cover 3 and the flange cylinder 11 by a limiting rod 5.

[0032] The support assembly 12 includes a clamping unit and a locking unit, which are arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside.

[0033] The locking unit includes a limiting housing 124, a connecting frame 126 slidably connected to the inner wall surface of the limiting housing 124, a connecting block 125 fixedly connected to the middle position of the limiting housing 124, a slide rod 127 fixedly connected to the middle of the connecting block 125, the connecting block 125 movably connected to the inner side surface of the connecting frame 126, and the slide rod 127 slidably connected to the inside of the connecting frame 126. The limiting housing 124 and the connecting frame 126 are movably connected. Locking bolts 128 are threadedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the limiting housing 124. There are four locking bolts 128 threadedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the limiting housing 124. The limiting housing 124 and the connecting frame 126 are locked and fixed by the locking bolts 128, which can determine the position of the connecting frame 126.

[0034] The clamping unit includes a hydroponic pipe 121, which is movably connected to the top of the flange cylinder 11. The hydroponic pipe 121 can be moved directly above the flange cylinder 11, allowing adjustment of its length to clamp and fix the rice, providing a larger support area. A protrusion 122 is fixedly connected to the middle of the hydroponic pipe 121, and a connecting frame 126 is movably connected to the outward surface of the protrusion 122. The protrusion 122 and the insert rod 123 can determine the position of the connecting frame 126, facilitating adjustment. The distance between the connecting frames 126 is such that a plug rod 123 is fixedly connected to the outward side surface of the protrusion 122, and a locking bolt 128 is threadedly connected to the outward end of the plug rod 123. The locking bolt 128 can lock and fix the limiting shell 124 and the connecting frame 126, thereby determining the position of the hydroponic pipe 121. The plug rod 123 is inserted into the top of the connecting frame 126, and the limiting rod 5 is inserted into the bottom of the connecting frame 126. The plug rod 123 and the limiting rod 5 can determine the position of the connecting frame 126 and adjust the position of the connecting frame 126.

[0035] When in use, pull the cover 3 upward, and the cover 3 can drive the support device 1 upward, so that the cover 3 is separated from the hydroponic liquid tank 2. At this time, pour the conventional culture solution into the hydroponic liquid tank 2, and the culture solution inside the hydroponic liquid tank 2 can be used to cultivate rice.

[0036] After cultivation, insert the cover 3 into the top of the hydroponic liquid tank 2. The cover 3 and the support device 1 can clamp and fix the cultivated rice.

[0037] Turn the nut, and the nut will rotate on the surface of the threaded rod 6, causing the connection between the cover 3 and the flange cylinder 11 to loosen.

[0038] Pulling the flange cylinder 11 upwards allows it to detach from the cover 3, facilitating the disassembly and replacement of the flange cylinder 11 and the hydroponic pipe 121, and making it easier to maintain the flange cylinder 11 and the hydroponic pipe 121, thus enabling the installation of a new flange cylinder 11 and the hydroponic pipe 121.

[0039] Pulling the connecting frame 126 outward causes the connecting frame 126 to move the limiting shell 124 outward, causing the connecting frame 126 to slide on the surfaces of the insert rod 123 and the limiting rod 5, thus disengaging the connecting frame 126 from the insert rod 123 and the limiting rod 5.

[0040] Pull the sponge inside the hydroponic pipe 121 to detach the sponge from the hydroponic pipe 121, thus loosening the connection between the hydroponic pipe 121 and the rice.

[0041] Rotate the locking bolt 128. The locking bolt 128 rotates at both ends of the limiting housing 124, causing the connection between the limiting housing 124 and the connecting frame 126 to loosen.

[0042] At this time, the hydroponic pipe 121 is pulled upward, and the hydroponic pipe 121 drives the connecting frame 126 to move up and down through the protrusion 122 and the insertion rod 123. The connecting frame 126 slides on the surface of the limiting shell 124 and the connecting block 125.

[0043] When the connecting frame 126 moves upward, it slides on the surface of the slide bar 127, which can adjust the distance between the two connecting frames 126. Then, the locking bolt 128 is rotated to lock and fix the connecting frame 126 and the limiting housing 124.

[0044] When the hydroponic pipe 121 moves upward, it can slide on the outside of the rice, allowing the position of the hydroponic pipe 121 to be adjusted. Then, a sponge is inserted between the rice and the hydroponic pipe 121 to protect the rice.

[0045] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
