Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of potato aeroponics technology, specifically relating to an air supply structure for potato aeroponics. Background Technology

[0002] Aeroponics provides potato plants with ample water, nutrients, and good aeration, resulting in robust plant growth, well-developed root systems, and a significant increase in tuber production. For example, the Huzhu County Agricultural Technology Extension Center uses aeroponics to produce mini-tubers, achieving an average tuber rate of 30 to 50 per plant, with some plants exceeding 80 tubers – more than 20 times that of traditional substrate cultivation. Under aeroponic conditions, potato plants grow rapidly, and the growth cycle is shortened. Generally, aeroponic potatoes are harvested 15-30 days faster from transplanting than with traditional methods, allowing seed potatoes to reach the market or be used for the next planting season more quickly.

[0003] Carbon dioxide is a crucial raw material for potato photosynthesis. During aeroponics, a sufficient supply of carbon dioxide provides ample energy and nutrients for the growth of potato vines and leaves. Enhanced photosynthesis leads to increased synthesis of organic matter, which is transported to vegetative organs such as vines and leaves, promoting cell division and elongation. This results in thicker vines, larger and more numerous leaves, expanding the plant's photosynthetic area and further improving photosynthetic efficiency, creating a virtuous cycle and laying a solid foundation for high potato yields.

[0004] Currently, most aeroponic potato cultivation is carried out indoors, which requires simulating the external environment by simultaneously supplying air and carbon dioxide to the potatoes. This allows the carbon dioxide to be blown onto the potato leaves, improving the aeroponic effect. Therefore, this invention proposes an air supply structure for potato aeroponic cultivation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an air supply structure for potato aeroponics, which can solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0006] The specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] This utility model provides an air supply structure for potato aeroponics, including an aeroponics bed frame and a carbon dioxide generator and an air supply pipe disposed on one side of the aeroponics bed frame. The aeroponics bed frame is provided with a reciprocating push-pull mechanism, and the upper side of the air supply pipe is disposed on the reciprocating push-pull mechanism.

[0008] The reciprocating push-pull mechanism includes a drive motor, a push-pull rod, and a rotation fixing mechanism. The drive motor is bolted to the aeroponic bed frame, and a rotating disk is keyed to the output shaft of the drive motor.

[0009] The push-pull rod is configured as two overlapping rods, and the opposite ends of the two push-pull rods are fitted with the same push-pull pin. The side of the rotating disk near the outer circumference is fitted with the push-pull pin through a formed sleeve hole.

[0010] The aforementioned air supply structure for potato aeroponics utilizes a system where the carbon dioxide generator, fan, and reciprocating push-pull mechanism are activated by a drive motor. The drive motor rotates a rotating disk, which in turn causes the push-pull pin and the opposite ends of two push-pull rods to rotate synchronously. Simultaneously, the push-pull rods cause the transmission pin, push-pull plate, and rotating shaft to reciprocate, thereby actuating the clamps on the rotating shaft. These clamps then cause the branch pipes on the upper side of the air supply pipe to reciprocate, resulting in the outlet of the branch pipes blowing carbon dioxide onto the potato leaves cultivated on the aeroponic bed. This allows the carbon dioxide to come into contact with the leaves, improving photosynthetic absorption and enhancing the aeroponic effect.

[0011] Preferably, the rotation fixing mechanism is configured as two distributed on both sides of the drive motor. The rotation fixing mechanism includes a mounting plate that is bolted to the aeroponic bed frame. A clamp is provided above the mounting plate. Two interconnected branch pipes are provided on the upper side of the air supply pipe, and the free end of one of the branch pipes is stuck in the clamp.

[0012] Preferably, the mounting plate is rotatably provided with a rotating shaft, and the upper side of the rotating shaft is connected to one of the bottom surfaces of the clamp.

[0013] Preferably, a push-pull plate is provided on the rotating shaft, and a transmission pin is respectively sleeved on the opposite ends of the two push-pull rods. The side of the push-pull plate away from the rotating shaft is sleeved with the transmission pin through a shaped insertion hole.

[0014] Preferably, a fan is installed on the side of the aeroponic bed frame corresponding to the carbon dioxide generator, the lower side of the air supply pipe is set at the outlet end of the fan, the outlet end of the carbon dioxide generator is provided with a carbon dioxide delivery pipe, the other side of the carbon dioxide delivery pipe is connected to the air supply pipe, and the two branch pipes on the upper side of the air supply pipe are set as fresh air system hoses.

[0015] The beneficial effects are:

[0016] This invention uses a reciprocating push-pull mechanism to oscillate the carbon dioxide air duct generated by the carbon dioxide generator, thereby causing the wind generated by the fan to carry carbon dioxide in a cyclical swing that hangs on the potato leaves for photosynthesis. This improves the auxiliary effect of the air supply mechanism on aeroponic potatoes and enhances the cultivation effect. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0022] like Figure 1-2 As shown, an air supply structure for potato aeroponics includes an aeroponics bed frame 1, a carbon dioxide generator 3 and an air supply pipe 4 disposed on one side of the aeroponics bed frame 1, a reciprocating push-pull mechanism 2 disposed on the aeroponics bed frame 1, and the upper side of the air supply pipe 4 disposed on the reciprocating push-pull mechanism 2.

[0023] The reciprocating push-pull mechanism 2 includes a drive motor 201, a push-pull rod 203 and a rotation fixing mechanism. The drive motor 201 is bolted to the aeroponic bed frame 1, and the output shaft of the drive motor 201 is keyed to a rotating disk 202.

[0024] The push-pull rod 203 is configured as two rods that overlap each other, and the opposite ends of the two push-pull rods 203 are fitted with the same push-pull pin 204. The side of the rotating disk 202 near the outer circumference is fitted with the push-pull pin 204 through a formed sleeve hole.

[0025] As an optional implementation, the rotation fixing mechanism is configured as two distributed on both sides of the drive motor 201. The rotation fixing mechanism includes a mounting plate 205 that is bolted to the aeroponic bed frame 1. A clamp 206 is provided above the mounting plate 205. Two interconnected branch pipes are provided on the upper side of the air supply pipe 4, and the free end of one of the branch pipes is clamped in the clamp 206. This configuration makes it easy to use the clamp 206 to clamp and fix the branch pipe of the air supply pipe 4, thereby improving the ease of installation.

[0026] See attached document Figure 2A rotating shaft 207 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 205. The upper side of the rotating shaft 207 is connected to one of the bottom surfaces of the clamp 206. This arrangement allows the clamp 206 to rotate using the rotating shaft 207, thus facilitating reciprocating swing in conjunction with the push-pull rod 203.

[0027] Furthermore, a push-pull plate 208 is provided on the rotating shaft 207, and a transmission pin 209 is respectively sleeved on the opposite ends of the two push-pull rods 203. The side of the push-pull plate 208 away from the rotating shaft 207 is sleeved with the transmission pin 209 through a formed insertion hole. With this arrangement, when the push-pull rods 203 push and pull the push-pull plate 208 in a cycle, the push-pull plate 208 drives the rotating shaft 207 to reciprocate and swing the clamp 206 and the branch pipe on the air duct 4, thereby improving the power of the reciprocating swing.

[0028] Furthermore, a fan 5 is installed on the side of the aeroponic bed frame 1, corresponding to the carbon dioxide generator 3. The lower side of the air supply pipe 4 is located at the outlet end of the fan 5. A carbon dioxide delivery pipe 6 is installed at the outlet end of the carbon dioxide generator 3. The other side of the carbon dioxide delivery pipe 6 is connected to the air supply pipe 4. The two branch pipes on the upper side of the air supply pipe 4 are set as fresh air system hoses. With this configuration, the air force blown by the fan 5 can be used to carry carbon dioxide and blow it onto the potato leaves in the aeroponic system, thereby improving the diffusion effect of carbon dioxide.

[0029] Using the above structure, by controlling the start of the drive motor 201 on the carbon dioxide generator 3, fan 5, and reciprocating push-pull mechanism 2, the drive motor 201 drives the rotating disk 202 to rotate. At the same time, the rotating disk 202 drives the push-pull pin 204 and the opposite ends of the two push-pull rods 203 to rotate synchronously. Meanwhile, the push-pull rods 203 drive the transmission pin 209, push-pull plate 208, and rotating shaft 207 to reciprocate, thereby driving the clamp 206 on the rotating shaft 207. The clamp 206 drives the branch pipe on the upper side of the air supply pipe 4 to reciprocate, so that the outlet of the branch pipe blows the potato leaves cultivated on the aeroponic bed 1, thereby carrying carbon dioxide to contact the leaves, improving the absorption of photosynthesis, and improving the aeroponic effect.
