[0027] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other. For ease of description, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" appearing below only indicate that they correspond to the upper, lower, left, and right directions in the accompanying drawings and do not limit the structure.

[0028] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0029] Examples, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the modular balcony vegetable three-dimensional ecosystem based on landscape ecology provided by this utility model includes a stepped three-dimensional hydroponic rack 1. An ecological chamber and a filtration device are set below the stepped three-dimensional hydroponic rack 1. The ecological chamber is a water-land symbiotic ecological chamber 2 and includes an aquatic aquaculture area 21 and a terrestrial landscape area 22. The filtration device is a four-stage ecological filtration tower 3. The stepped three-dimensional hydroponic rack 1, the water-land symbiotic ecological chamber 2 and the four-stage ecological filtration tower 3 are connected by a pipeline system 4. The stepped hydroponic frame 1 includes multiple 110mm×73mm planting tubes 11 arranged in a stepped manner and 40mm support tubes 12 for supporting the planting tubes 11. A connecting pipe 13 is provided between the support tubes 12. The connecting pipe 13 includes a T-shaped pipe, a horizontal pipe, and a U-shaped pipe connecting adjacent planting tubes 11. Multiple planting holes are opened on the planting tubes 11 in a W-shape, and planting baskets are placed in the planting holes. The stepped hydroponic frame 1 serves as the distribution base for the planting baskets on the one hand, and as the water pipe on the other hand, thus building a complete pipeline system 4 to complete hydroponics.

[0030] This invention utilizes a tiered, three-dimensional hydroponic rack 1 to arrange and plant corresponding plants in a tiered manner while ensuring effective light exposure. The aquatic-terrestrial symbiotic ecological cabin 2 is made of transparent, visible material, primarily providing ecological functions for aquatic aquaculture and terrestrial landscaping. Simultaneously, a four-stage ecological filter tower 3 effectively filters the system's water source, promoting water recycling. This solves the problems of traditional balcony planting systems' limited functionality and low space utilization. It not only achieves zero discharge and resource utilization of aquaculture wastewater but also realizes a "plant-substrate-water triple purification system." Furthermore, through micro-topographical landscape design, it meets the aesthetic, experiential, and educational needs of urban residents, integrating production, viewing, and leisure.

[0031] To improve the water recycling rate of this system, from a filtration perspective, the four-stage ecological filter tower 3 provided by this invention includes a physical filtration chamber 31, a biofilm reaction chamber 32, a water quality stabilization chamber 33, and a plant purification chamber 34, distributed according to the water flow direction. The physical filtration chamber 31 is equipped with stainless steel filter screens and biochemical cotton; the biofilm reaction chamber 32 is equipped with bioceramic rings; the water quality stabilization chamber 33 is equipped with a waterfall landscaping device; and the plant purification chamber 34 is equipped with wetland purification plants. The waterfall landscaping device provides a waterfall landscaping function, one of the beneficial effects of which is to improve slightly polluted water by increasing water flow, enhancing dissolved oxygen, and constructing a micro-ecosystem, serving as an auxiliary means of ecological water quality improvement. Wetland purification plants refer to plants that grow in excessively humid environments and have environmental functions such as water purification. Through root absorption, adsorption, and metabolic processes, they can effectively remove pollutants from the water and improve water quality. The physical filtration methods in the physical filtration chamber 31 and the biofilm filtration chamber also have filtration functions. Therefore, the four-stage ecological filter tower 3 can effectively treat the water discharged from the stepped three-dimensional hydroponic rack 1 and ensure the usability of the water that subsequently enters the ecological chamber.

[0032] To improve the ecological utilization rate of the aquatic-terrestrial symbiotic ecological cabin 2, the terrestrial landscape area 22 provided by this utility model is equipped with a sand-proof infiltration belt 221 with an 8-45° gradient transition, a biomimetic micro-topography 222, and modular landscaping units 223. By setting up multiple different types of terrestrial landscapes, it not only beautifies the landscape but also enhances the aesthetic appeal of the system.

[0033] Specifically, the sand-proof infiltration belt 221 provided by this utility model includes multiple baffles and a sand and gravel filter layer. The baffles are used to separate the sand and gravel filter layer from the aquaculture area. The slope of the sand and gravel filter layer is 8-15°. The biomimetic micro-topography 222 includes a permeable concrete base frame, and the slope supported by the permeable concrete base frame includes a front slope of 15-30° and a back slope of 45°. The modular landscaping unit 223 includes a temperature-controlled amphibious shelter 2231 and a rock-wall-type plant planting trough 2232. The temperature-controlled amphibious shelter 2231 can be distributed on the inner walls of both ends of the aquatic-terrestrial symbiotic ecological cabin 2, and the rock-wall-type plant planting trough 2232 can be distributed on one side of the temperature-controlled amphibious shelter 2231, and adopts a vertical distribution feature.

[0034] For the aquatic landscape area, a detachable pump house and an underwater biomimetic habitat module are installed. The pump house houses water pumps and pipes, while the underwater biomimetic habitat module adopts a simple trough design for the cultivation of general aquatic plants and animals. In this way, the aquatic landscape area and the terrestrial landscape area 22 provide a rich design in terms of visual appeal, make full use of the space of the aquatic-terrestrial symbiotic ecological cabin 2, have a high degree of spatial efficiency and overall coordination, and further enhance the aesthetic appeal.

[0035] Regarding the planting distribution design of different layers on the tiered hydroponic rack, the spacing of the support tubes is arranged according to the Fibonacci sequence to form an optimal 15° light-receiving angle. The planting is layered, with the lower middle and inner rows planted with shade-tolerant leafy vegetables such as spinach, mint, celery, chives, romaine lettuce, shepherd's purse, water spinach, and Malabar spinach; the upper middle and inner rows planted with ornamental leafy vegetables such as red-stemmed beets and kale; and the outer rows planted with light-loving leafy vegetables such as garland chrysanthemum, lettuce, bok choy, and Shanghai bok choy.

[0036] To improve the ventilation performance of this ecosystem, the stepped three-dimensional hydroponic rack 1 provided by this utility model is equipped with multiple fans 5 for adjusting ventilation. The fans 5 are installed on the extension nodes of the planting tube 11 to ensure the reliability of its installation.

[0037] From a control perspective, this invention can be equipped with a plant phenomics parameter feedback and regulation system, such as a full-spectrum LED supplemental lighting system, a PTC constant temperature system, and a multi-parameter sensor array, depending on the actual situation. The multi-parameter sensor array can detect temperature and humidity, water branch flow, and water quality. The full-spectrum LED intelligent supplemental lighting system and mobile APP remote control technology can increase the utilization rate of balcony space to over 85%, the NTU removal rate to over 92%, and the average daily power consumption to only 0.8 kWh. The PTC constant temperature system can be used to control and regulate the activity temperature of aquatic plants and animals within the system, especially in the aquatic-terrestrial symbiotic ecological chamber 2.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
