Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydroponic equipment technology, and in particular to a hydroponic bed structure for potato cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] Hydroponics is a new type of soilless plant cultivation method, also known as nutrient solution culture. Its core is to directly immerse the plant's roots in a nutrient solution. This nutrient solution can replace soil and provide the plant with water, nutrients, oxygen and other growth factors, enabling the plant to grow normally.

[0003] A potato hydroponic bed, disclosed in patent CN106035048B, includes a bed body for holding cultivation water, and several hydroponic trays for placing potato seedlings within the bed body; each hydroponic tray has several through holes at its bottom. Potato seedlings are planted in the hydroponic trays, and water enters the trays from the bottom through the through holes. When adding nutrient solution, it can be poured evenly into the hydroponic trays. This hydroponic tray with the above structure allows for rapid seedling growth and facilitates the isolation and prevention of diseases. Furthermore, adjusting planting density is more convenient and quicker.

[0004] Existing hydroponic beds have the following drawbacks: 1. The low circulation efficiency of the nutrient solution in the hydroponic tray causes the seedlings to be soaked in the nutrient solution, which can easily lead to seedling hypoxia and necrosis. Moreover, the nutrient solution is not replaced for a period of time, which not only easily leads to the deterioration of the nutrient solution, affecting the growth and absorption of the seedlings, but also wastes the nutrient solution and increases costs. 2. Traditional seedling planting methods involve planting in individual seedling trays, which requires a large number of trays, increasing the amount of trays used and resulting in higher costs for hydroponic beds.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, a hydroponic bed structure for potato cultivation is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a hydroponic bed structure for potato cultivation, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] The objective of this utility model can be achieved by adopting the following technical solution: A hydroponic bed structure for potato cultivation includes a hydroponic bed board, on top of which a water-storing non-woven fabric is placed, and on top of the water-storing non-woven fabric a seedling cloth spanning across the hydroponic bed board is placed. The hydroponic bed has an inclination of 5-10°, the water storage non-woven fabric is encapsulated with a water distribution pipe, the top of the water distribution pipe is connected to a drip irrigation pipe through a fitting, and the seedling fabric has several seedling holes.

[0008] Furthermore, the thickness of the water-storing nonwoven fabric is 3-5cm, the seedling cloth is made of plastic and has a thickness of 1-2cm, and the diameter of the seedling hole is 0.5-1cm.

[0009] Furthermore, the top of the drip irrigation pipe is connected to a drip irrigation valve via a valve fitting, the drip irrigation valve is connected to a water circulation pipe via a tee, and the free end of the water circulation pipe is connected to a circulation pump fixed to the ground.

[0010] Furthermore, an inlet circulation pipe is fitted onto the input end of the circulation pump, and the free end of the inlet circulation pipe is connected to a return liquid filtration tank.

[0011] Furthermore, the return liquid filtration pool is located on both sides of the bottom of the inclined end of the hydroponic bed at a low horizontal position, and is configured as two sets, with a filter screen for filtering nutrient solution fixed on the inner wall of the return liquid filtration pool.

[0012] Furthermore, a base frame is supported at the bottom of the grooves on both sides of the hydroponic bed board, and a top frame is welded to the top of the grooves on both sides of the hydroponic bed board. Both the base frame and the top frame are combined plastic pipes.

[0013] Furthermore, a horizontal and vertical crossbar is fixed to the top of the top frame, and several hanging rods are provided at the bottom of the crossbars. Cultivation lamps are detachably installed at the bottom of the hanging rods.

[0014] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model sets up an inclined hydroponic bed and sets up a water-storing non-woven fabric for storing nutrient solution on the hydroponic bed. With the help of a dripping mechanism, the amount of nutrient solution required for seedling growth is dripped into the water-storing non-woven fabric. This prevents overflow and avoids root rot, thus ensuring the safe growth of seedlings. 2. By setting up an integrated seedling cloth, holes are made in the seedling cloth for seedling insertion and planting. The seedling roots are placed on the water-retaining non-woven fabric to absorb liquid and grow, which reduces the difficulty of traditional seedling tray planting, greatly reduces the amount of seedling trays used, and reduces costs. 3. The water-storing non-woven fabric can not only significantly reduce the amount of nutrient solution used, but also, in conjunction with the inclined hydroponic bed structure, can keep the nutrient solution flowing continuously downwards and in circulation, preventing it from deteriorating. After being treated in the return liquid filtration tank, it can be recycled, reducing the cost of using the nutrient solution. Attached Figure Description

[0017] To enable those skilled in the art to understand the technical solution of this utility model more clearly, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings, but the implementation of this utility model is not limited thereto.

[0018] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a hydroponic bed structure for potato cultivation, including a hydroponic bed board 3, a water-storing non-woven fabric 4 placed on top of the hydroponic bed board 3, and a seedling cloth 5 spanning the hydroponic bed board 3 placed on top of the water-storing non-woven fabric 4; the hydroponic bed board 3 has an inclination of 5-10°, a water distribution pipe 16 is encapsulated inside the water-storing non-woven fabric 4, and a drip irrigation pipe 15 is connected to the top of the water distribution pipe 16 through a fitting; and a number of seedling holes 14 are opened on the seedling cloth 5.

[0019] In the above structure, non-woven fabric has the characteristics of moisture-proof, breathable, flexible, light and thin, flame retardant, non-toxic and odorless, low price and recyclable. Different thicknesses can be set according to actual needs. The hydroponic bed board 3 uses aluminum alloy material with a thickness of 0.5mm, which is easy to move.

[0020] The thickness of the water-storing non-woven fabric 4 is 3-5cm, the seedling fabric 5 is made of plastic and is 1-2cm thick, and the diameter of the seedling hole 14 is 0.5-1cm. After the nutrient solution is immersed in the water-storing non-woven fabric 4 through the drip irrigation hole on the water distribution pipe 16, it continuously seeps down and diffuses outward, contacts the bottom surface of the hydroponic bed board 3, and flows downward on the inclined hydroponic bed board 3, thus preventing the liquid from accumulating in the hydroponic bed board 3.

[0021] The top of the drip irrigation pipe 15 is connected to a drip irrigation valve 12 via a valve fitting. The drip irrigation valve 12 is connected to a water circulation pipe 11 via a tee. The free end of the water circulation pipe 11 is connected to a circulation pump 6 fixed on the ground. The drip irrigation valve 12 can adjust the drip irrigation flow rate to prevent water from overflowing from the water storage non-woven fabric 4.

[0022] A water inlet circulation pipe 10 is fitted onto the input end of the circulation pump 6, and the free end of the water inlet circulation pipe 10 is connected to the return liquid filter tank 13.

[0023] The return liquid filter tank 13 is located on both sides of the bottom of the inclined end of the hydroponic bed board 3 at the low horizontal position, and is set as two sets. The inner wall of the return liquid filter tank 13 is fitted with a filter screen for filtering nutrient solution. The bottom of the two sets of return liquid filter tanks 13 are connected, and the nutrient solution after recycling and filtration is uniformly drawn and circulated by the circulation pump 6 for reuse.

[0024] The bottom of the grooves on both sides of the hydroponic bed board 3 is supported by a base frame 1, and the top of the grooves on both sides of the hydroponic bed board 3 is welded with a top frame 2. Both the base frame 1 and the top frame 2 are combined plastic pipes, which reduces installation costs.

[0025] The top of the top frame 2 is fixed with a horizontal and vertical crossbar 7. Several hanging rods 8 are provided at the bottom of the crossbar 7. A cultivation lamp 9 can be detachably installed at the bottom of the hanging rod 8.

[0026] The working principle of this device is as follows: When in use, this device is connected to an external power supply and an external control device.

[0027] Before laying the seedling cloth 5, start the circulation pump 6 to draw out the nutrient solution pre-stored in the return liquid filter tank 13, and let it enter the drip irrigation pipes 15 on both sides from the water outlet circulation pipe 11. Then, the drip irrigation pipes 15 distribute it to the water distribution pipe 16 connected to the bottom. The nutrient solution seeps into the water storage non-woven fabric 4 through the drip irrigation holes on the outer wall of the water distribution pipe 16. Relying on the water absorption property of the water storage non-woven fabric 4, and with the help of the inclined hydroponic bed board 3, the nutrient solution is gradually covered to the entire non-woven fabric until the liquid gradually flows back to the return liquid filter tank 13. Then, lay the seedling cloth 5 flat on the top of the water storage non-woven fabric 4, and lift it up in the middle by the protruding structure of the hydroponic bed board 3. The cultivated potato seedling roots can then be inserted into the seedling holes 14. The root cloth contacts the top of the water storage non-woven fabric 4, and the seedling is completed.

[0028] By adopting the above-mentioned structure, not only is the workload and difficulty of seedling cultivation reduced, but the combined base and top frame structure also greatly reduces the cost of traditional steel structure supports.

[0029] The above are merely further embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope disclosed by this utility model, based on the technical solution and concept of this utility model, shall fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
