Detailed Implementation
[0031] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model provides a technical solution: a suspended three-dimensional germination rack, including a germination rack body 300, which is sleeved on a hanger 200. Specifically, in order to facilitate the detachable hoisting method, a hook 304 is fixedly connected to the upward end of the germination rack body 300. The hook 304 is locked to the barrel body 301 of the germination rack body 300 by screws. A water collection pool 100 is provided below the germination rack body 300.
[0033] The germination rack body 300 includes a hollow, "I"-shaped barrel 301. Insert-fitting trays 303 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the barrel 301. The barrel 301 has several U-shaped insertion seams 302 for easy installation of the trays 303, facilitating effective positioning. To improve the durability and environmental friendliness of the germination rack body 300, the barrel 301 and trays 303 are made of PP or PE plastic. The trays 303 are open-facing after insertion. Each tray 303 includes an insertion tail 3031 that inserts into the inner side of the barrel 301. (See details...) Figure 3The insertion head 3032 is inserted into the outside of the barrel body 301. The insertion tail 3031 is provided with a notch end 3035 for receiving water. It should be noted that in order to achieve this condition, the insertion tail 3031 needs to be set in an area that can receive water. In order to prevent the seedlings from flowing out of the notch end 3035, the outward side of the notch end 3035 is blocked by a sponge layer 3034. The outward side of the sponge layer 3034 is covered with a soil layer 3033. In order to facilitate the planting of seedlings, there is also a space between the soil layer 3033 and the insertion head 3032 to accommodate the plant seedlings.
[0034] See details Figure 2 In order to effectively enhance space utilization, the barrel body 301 is provided with several layers of circumferentially surrounding material receiving trays 303. In this way, the advantage of the circumferential arrangement of the barrel body 301 itself can be fully utilized during sowing. The limiting rings 306 are arranged at intervals between the two layers of material receiving trays 303.
[0035] See details Figure 1 The barrel body 301 has a water outlet pipe 500 at its center, parallel to its direction and pointing upwards. The outlet end of the water outlet pipe 500 is located above the highest point of the barrel body 301. To achieve this, a limiting ring 306 is fixed to the inner wall of the barrel body 301. Several reinforcing columns 3061 are radially installed around the limiting ring 306 towards the center, spaced apart. After assembly, the reinforcing columns 3061 together clamp the central water outlet pipe 500. It should be noted that the clamping area formed by the reinforcing columns 3061 must be smaller than the diameter of the water outlet pipe 500 to secure it. The specific arrangement can be selected and configured according to actual conditions. To facilitate control of water inflow, both the inlet pipe 600 and the outlet pipe 500 are equipped with... There is an electrically controlled valve 700. During the setup process, attention should be paid to the installation position of the water pump 400. To prevent the water pump 400 from getting wet, a waterproof cover can be installed on the top of the water pump 400. At the same time, the water outlet pipe 500 is set in an L-shape. The tank body 301 and the water pump 400 are set on different vertical planes. The water pump 400 is installed on the support platform 800 above the water collection tank 100 and is fixed and locked by locking bolts 801. The water collection tank 100 is equipped with a liquid level sensor. In actual arrangement, a waterproof water pump 400 can also be selected according to the actual situation, or the position of the water outlet pipe and the support platform can be adjusted to reduce damage to the water pump 400. At the same time, a protective cover 305 can be installed on the bottom of the tank body 301. The opening of the protective cover 305 does not extend to the installation position of the water pump 400 to reduce the impact of water on the equipment.
[0036] See details Figure 1 The inlet end of the outlet pipe 500 is connected to the outlet of the water pump 400, and the inlet of the water pump 400 is connected to the inlet pipe 600. The inlet end of the inlet pipe 600 is located below the water source of the water collection tank 100.
[0037] Before use, connect the water outlet pipe to the inside of the bucket as shown in the diagram, connect both the water outlet pipe and the water inlet pipe to the water pump, and arrange the sponge layer and soil layer. In actual use, first use the hook to suspend the germination rack body on the hanger, so that it is suspended in the air. Put the original water source into the water pool below. Note that the water source height must not exceed the specific height, and it is equipped with a liquid level sensor for real-time monitoring.
[0038] Plant buds are placed into the soil layer of the substrate tray. The soil layer is blocked by the sponge layer on the side away from the opening. The sponge layer can absorb and retain a certain amount of moisture, providing a suitable humidity environment for the buds. When irrigation is needed, the water pump is started, and water in the water tank is pumped into the water outlet pipe through the water inlet pipe. The water outlet pipe flows upward and flows down the inner wall of the bucket, flowing into the sponge layer through the opening of the substrate tray. Water is then stored in the sponge layer and then seeps into the soil layer to provide moisture for the buds. This method will prevent the soil layer from directly absorbing too much water and causing root rot.
[0039] Because the water outlet is located above the highest point of the bucket, the water flow can be evenly distributed on the entire germination rack, ensuring that each tray can be fully irrigated. At this time, the setting of the limiting ring and the reinforcing column can effectively fix the water outlet and ensure the stable delivery of water.
[0040] During irrigation, excess water flows into the water collection tank due to gravity, forming a closed water circulation system and avoiding water waste. In addition, the electric control valve can precisely control the water flow in the inlet and outlet pipes to achieve automated irrigation. It should also be noted that only one germination rack body is shown in this utility model. However, in actual use, several sets of germination rack bodies can be evenly distributed above a water collection tank to achieve multiple water flows at one location and realize large-scale germination operations.
[0041] Throughout the germination process, the seedlings grow rapidly under suitable environmental conditions, significantly improving germination efficiency.
[0042] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
