Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydroponic device technology, and more specifically, to a novel plant partition hydroponic box. Background Technology
[0002] A hydroponic container is a tool used for hydroponic plant cultivation, allowing plants to grow in a soilless environment. Choose a suitable hydroponic container based on your planting needs, install the bottom filter and support, prepare the seeds or seedlings and nutrient solution, pour the nutrient solution into the container, leaving some space. The nutrient solution level is generally about 2 / 3 of the plant's root height. Gently place the soaked seeds or seedlings into the nutrient solution, ensuring the roots are in contact with the water.
[0003] Existing hydroponic boxes have a single internal space, limiting their use to specific cultivation methods. Different cultivation techniques require different nutrient solutions and aeration levels, and the existing single-structure hydroponic boxes are inconvenient for comparing the cultivation of the same plant under different methods, resulting in poor practicality. Therefore, we propose a novel plant-divided hydroponic box. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, adapt to the needs of reality, and provide a new type of plant partition hydroponic box to solve the technical problems of the current hydroponic box having a single structure, making it inconvenient to cultivate multiple varieties of the same plant, and lacking comparability.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel plant partition hydroponic box, including a lid and a box body. The box body has an internal partition with a cross-shaped design, which divides the box body into areas. Each area of the box body is provided with a conduit. A four-way valve seat is embedded in the middle of the bottom of the box body. An external pipe is provided at the front end of the bottom of the box body. The lid is installed at the upper opening of the box body and corresponds to the partitioned area of the box body. A lifting component is provided on the lower side of the lid. The lifting component consists of an adjusting plate and a set of accessories. The accessories are arrayed on the adjusting plate. Both ends of the adjusting plate have internal cavities, and a positioning component is provided in the internal cavity. The positioning component consists of a semi-circular spring and a movable block connected together. A vertical rod is installed through both ends of the lid and passes through the internal cavity.
[0006] This utility model's box body is divided into four sections by a cross-shaped partition, allowing for the cultivation of plants using different methods within each section. An air pump pipeline connects to an external pipe, which, through a four-way valve seat and conduit, introduces air into the corresponding section. Depending on the cultivation method, air supply can be selected to maintain optimal plant growth. Compared to existing single-container uniform cultivation methods, dividing the box into different areas allows for multiple cultivation techniques, facilitating comparison. The box lid contains an adjustable plate. The middle part of the plant is fixed to the adjustable plate with a fitting, and the rootstock is submerged in the culture solution within the box. The depth of rootstock submersion can be adjusted as needed. Pressing the adjustable plate lowers it, and the spring mechanism retracts under pressure, adjusting the height of the locking mechanism. To raise the plate, rotate the knob 180 degrees to disengage the locking mechanism on the upright, and pull upwards to reset the adjustable plate. This structure enables convenient lifting and lowering adjustments, allowing for timely adjustments based on cultivation progress and providing strong operability.
[0007] Preferably, both the external connecting pipe and the conduit are connected to a four-way valve seat, and the valve on the four-way valve seat corresponds to the conduit connection part, and the conduit is provided with an air hole.
[0008] Preferably, there are four lids in total, and the four lids form an end cover. The end cover fits the upper part of the partition, and the side notch of the end cover is adapted to the snap-fit part on the side of the box opening. The lid has a through opening in the middle, and the through opening corresponds to the adjustment plate.
[0009] Preferably, the adjustment plate has exhaust ports on both the front and rear sides, and the exhaust ports are connected to the inside of the box. The assembly is conical and is inserted into the assembly port of the adjustment plate.
[0010] Preferably, the upright has slots at equal intervals, and the top of the upright has a knob, which corresponds to the switch mark on the cover.
[0011] Preferably, the positioning component consists of a spring and a movable block, with both ends of the spring fixed to the two sides of the movable block, the inner arc surface of the movable block adapted to the upright, and a locking block fixed inside the movable block, with the locking block engaging with the locking slot.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The box of this utility model is divided into four sections by a cross-shaped partition, which can be used to cultivate plants in different ways in the corresponding sections. The air pump pipeline is connected to the external pipe and introduced into the corresponding section through a four-way valve seat and a conduit. Depending on the cultivation method, the air supply can be selected to maintain the good state of plant cultivation. Compared with the existing single container uniform cultivation method, dividing the box into different areas can realize multiple cultivation methods, which is convenient for comparison, reduces the cost and difficulty of the experiment, and improves efficiency.
[0013] 2. The box lid of this utility model has a built-in adjustment plate. The middle part of the plant is fixed to the adjustment plate by a matching device. The rootstock is submerged in the culture solution inside the box. The depth of the rootstock submersion can be adjusted according to the required requirements. Pressing the adjustment plate will lower it. The locking block will be squeezed and the spring will contract to adjust the height of the locking slot, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height of the entire adjustment plate. When it is necessary to raise it, the knob can be rotated 180 degrees to make the locking slot on the upright and the locking block misaligned. Pulling it upward will reset the adjustment plate. The above structure realizes convenient lifting and lowering adjustment, which is convenient to adjust in time according to the cultivation situation and is highly operable.
