Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aquatic plant cultivation technology, specifically an indoor aquatic plant cultivation device. Background Technology
[0002] Aquatic plants are plants that can live normally in water for a long time and play an important role in the ecosystem.
[0003] Some people grow plants at home as decorations. Compared to the impact of soil from soil-grown plants on the indoor environment, hydroponic aquatic plants are more popular due to their ease of cultivation. Therefore, some people grow hydroponic plants in certain areas of their homes. Since the growth conditions of various aquatic plants are different, different planting devices are used according to the plant's habits. Some plants only need their roots to be placed in the water when planting, so a container with gaps is used to support these plants. However, the water needs to be changed every once in a while. In traditional planting devices, the container holding the plant needs to be removed before the water can be changed, and the container and plant can only be put back in their original positions after the water change is completed, which is quite inconvenient.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides an indoor aquatic plant cultivation device. Utility Model Content

[0023] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, an indoor aquatic plant cultivation device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a cultivation box 1; a pair of support baskets 12 are detachably installed in the middle of the cultivation box 1; through slots 13 are provided on both sides of the cultivation box 1; elastic membranes 14 are fixedly connected to both sides of the cultivation box 1; baffles 15 are fixedly connected to the middle of the elastic membranes 14; a lifting component is provided in the middle of the cultivation box 1; and a lifting component is installed at the bottom of the cultivation box 1. During operation, aquatic plants requiring corresponding growth conditions are placed in the support baskets 12, and culture water is injected into the cultivation box 1. The water is blocked by the pair of baffles 15 and will not be easily discharged. Then, the support baskets 12 are placed into the cultivation box 1, and their roots drill downwards from the bottom holes of the support baskets 12 and extend into the culture water below. To absorb nutrients, the culture solution in the culture box 1 needs to be replaced every once in a while. At this time, the baffle 15 can be pulled to rotate the baffle 15, so that the water in the culture box 1 can be drained quickly. If necessary, a brush or scraper with a long handle can be inserted into the channel 13 to clean the water remaining in the culture box 1. Then, the new culture solution can be poured into the culture box 1 along the baffle 15 without moving the supporting basket 12 and the plants inside. With the above structure, the replacement and cleaning of the culture solution can be completed conveniently and quickly without moving the planted plants. Compared with the traditional drainage hole design, the drainage speed is faster and the water level in the culture box 1 can be easily observed.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the lifting assembly includes a first slide 2, a moving rod 21, a support frame 22, a second slide 23, and a lever 24. The first slide 2 is located in the middle of the incubator 1. The moving rod 21 is slidably connected to the middle of the first slide 2. The support frame 22 is fixedly connected to the middle of the moving rod 21. The second slide 23 is located in the middle of the incubator 1. The support frame 22 is slidably connected to the middle of the second slide 23. The lever 24 is rotatably connected to the middle of the incubator 1. During operation, when cleaning tools are needed to clean the inside of the incubator 1, in order to reduce the damage of the cleaning tools to the plant roots, the lever 24 can be rotated to lift the moving rod 21 upward under the leverage action. Subsequently, a pair of support frames 22 will lift the support basket 12, causing the plant roots to rise. Through the above structure, the support basket 12 located in the incubator 1 can be easily lifted, thereby reducing the contact and damage of the tools to the plant roots when cleaning the inside of the incubator 1.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a through hole 3 is provided in the middle of the lever 24; a pair of fixing brackets 31 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the incubator 1; a connecting rope 32 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the incubator 1; an insertion rod 33 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rope 32; the insertion rod 33 is detachably installed in the middle of the pair of fixing brackets 31; during operation, after rotating the lever 24 to lift the pair of carrying baskets 12, the end of the lever 24 will fall between the pair of fixing brackets 31, and then the insertion rod 33 will pass through the pair of fixing brackets 31 and the through hole 3, so that the lever 24 is difficult to rotate back, and the carrying baskets 12 are maintained at the corresponding height. With the above structure, the height position of the carrying baskets 12 can be fixed and maintained after the pair of carrying baskets 12 are raised, without the need to continuously support the lever 24, thus improving the ease of use of the device.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a first support base 4 is rotatably connected to one end of the bottom of the incubator 1; a first connecting base 41 is fixedly connected to the other end of the bottom of the incubator 1; a second connecting base 42 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the incubator 1; the length of the second connecting base 42 is greater than the length of the first connecting base 41; a second support base 43 is provided at the bottom of the incubator 1; during operation, when it is necessary to drain the liquid in the incubator 1, the end of the incubator 1 with the first connecting base 41 is lifted, and then the second support base 43 is moved below the second connecting base 42 to support the second connecting base 42. At this time, the incubator 1 will remain in an inclined state, and the liquid in the incubator 1 will flow towards the bottom. The flow is discharged through a baffle 15, and then tools are used to clean the inside of the incubator 1. After cleaning, clean water is injected into the incubator 1 through the channel 13 at one end of the incubator 1 to rinse the inside of the incubator 1. The water entering the incubator 1 will carry the residual substances out through the channel 13 at the lower end. After rinsing, the second support 43 is moved to the lower part of the first connecting seat 41 and the first connecting seat 41 is placed on the second support 43 to restore the level of the incubator 1. Through the above structure, the incubator 1 can be adjusted to a tilted state to rinse the inside of the incubator 1, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the inside of the incubator 1.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a hook 5 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the incubator 1; a connection hole 51 is provided in the middle of the baffle 15; during operation, when injecting culture water into the incubator 1, the connection hole 51 is used to hook the hook 5, making it difficult for the baffle 15 to rotate, thereby reducing the tension on the elastic membrane 14 when water is stored in the incubator 1, thus reducing the occurrence of the elastic membrane 14 losing its elasticity and breaking due to prolonged tension.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a light-shielding plate 6 is rotatably connected to the top of the incubator 1; multiple ventilation slots 61 are provided on the top of the incubator 1; during operation, some aquatic plants need to avoid direct sunlight. By setting a semi-transparent or opaque light-shielding plate 6 on the incubator 1 and covering it, the impact of strong light on plant growth can be reduced. After the light-shielding plate 6 is placed on the incubator 1, air will circulate through the ventilation slots 61. Through the above structure, the impact of strong light on the growth of some aquatic plants can be reduced, and the applicability of the device can be improved.
[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, a light-blocking curtain 7 is fixed to the side wall of the incubator 1; a magnetic strip 71 is fixed to the bottom of the light-blocking curtain 7; the side wall of the support basket 12 is made of magnetic metal; after the support basket 12 is placed into the incubator 1, the magnetic strip 71 is attracted to the side wall of the support basket 12, thereby blocking the gap above the side wall of the support basket 12 through the light-blocking curtain 7, further reducing the impact of strong light on the growth of some plants.
[0031] During operation, the aquatic plants requiring specific growth conditions are placed in the support basket 12, and nutrient solution is poured into the culture box 1. The solution is blocked by a pair of baffles 15 and does not easily drain out. The support basket 12 is then placed into the culture box 1, and the roots emerge from the bottom holes of the support basket 12 and extend into the nutrient solution below to absorb nutrients. The nutrient solution in the culture box 1 needs to be replaced periodically. This is done by pulling the baffles 15 to rotate them, allowing the solution to drain quickly. If necessary, a long-handled brush or scraper can be inserted through the channel 13 to clean any remaining solution inside the culture box 1. New nutrient solution can then be added. The baffle 15 is poured into the incubator 1 without moving the support basket 12 or the plants inside. When cleaning the inside of the incubator 1 is required, to reduce damage to the plant roots, the lever 24 can be rotated to lift the moving rod 21 upwards under leverage. Then, a pair of support frames 22 will lift the support basket 12, causing the plant roots to rise. After the pair of support baskets 12 are lifted by rotating the lever 24, the end of the lever 24 will fall between a pair of fixing frames 31. Then, the insertion rod 33 is passed through the pair of fixing frames 31 and the through hole 3, making it difficult for the lever 24 to turn back, thus maintaining the support basket 12 at the corresponding height. When it is necessary to clean the inside of the incubator 1, the lever 24 can be rotated to lift the plant roots. When draining the liquid, lift the end of the incubator 1 with the first connecting seat 41, then move the second support seat 43 below the second connecting seat 42 and support the second connecting seat 42. At this time, the incubator 1 will remain tilted, and the liquid in the incubator 1 will flow towards a baffle 15 and drain out. Then, use tools to clean the inside of the incubator 1. After cleaning, use clean water to rinse the inside of the incubator 1 by injecting it into the through groove 13 at the lifted end of the incubator 1. The liquid entering the incubator 1 will carry the residual substances and drain out from the lower through groove 13. After rinsing, move the second support seat 43 below the first connecting seat 41 and let the first connecting seat 41 rest on the second support seat 43. The incubator 1 is leveled. When the culture solution is injected into the incubator 1, the hook 5 is hooked by the connecting hole 51, making it difficult for the baffle 15 to rotate. This reduces the tension on the elastic membrane 14 when water is stored in the incubator 1. For some aquatic plants, direct sunlight should be avoided. A semi-transparent or opaque light-shielding plate 6 is placed on the incubator 1 and covered to reduce the impact of strong light on plant growth. After the light-shielding plate 6 is placed on the incubator 1, air will circulate through the ventilation groove 61. After the carrying basket 12 is placed into the incubator 1, the magnetic strip 71 is attached to the side wall of the carrying basket 12, thereby blocking the gap above the side wall of the carrying basket 12 through the light-shielding curtain 7.
