Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant cultivation, and in particular to a novel hydroponic tower. Background Technology

[0002] Hydroponic towers in agricultural production deliver nutrient solutions to plant roots and support three-dimensional plant growth, ensuring efficient nutrient absorption. Crop growth is highly dependent on a stable nutrient supply, while traditional soil cultivation suffers from uneven nutrient distribution and low space utilization. The function of a hydroponic tower is to precisely distribute nutrient solutions to each plant through an integrated water system and three-dimensional structure, and then recycle excess solution through a circulation system to maintain a stable root environment. However, due to the complexity of the environment in which hydroponic towers are used, uneven nutrient distribution, or even flow interruptions, often occur due to uneven ground surfaces and other factors, leading to crops failing to absorb nutrients and dying. While the modular design of traditional hydroponic towers improves assembly flexibility, the tower units still occupy a significant amount of space during storage and transportation. Therefore, a new type of hydroponic tower has been proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model aims to provide a technical solution that can solve the above problems.

[0004] A novel hydroponic tower includes a tank for storing nutrient solution and a lid covering the tank. The tank is equipped with a water pump for drawing the nutrient solution, and the pump outlet is connected to a guide pipe for transmitting the nutrient solution. The top of the lid is fitted with the hydroponic tower body, and the lid also has holes for interlocking the hydroponic tower body, allowing it to be vertically mounted on the lid. The hydroponic tower body is composed of several stacked plant hydroponic module tubes, with adjacent plant hydroponic module tubes overlapping each other. A diversion module is located at the top of the hydroponic tower body. The guide pipe passes through the holes in the lid and connects to the diversion module, allowing the diversion module to evenly distribute the nutrient solution. The inner sidewalls of each plant hydroponic module tube are obliquely and equidistantly formed with several planting basket placement slots, and each of the planting basket placement slots contains a planting basket for placing plants.

[0005] Preferably, the diversion module includes a diversion platform connected to the guide pipe and a top cover installed on the diversion platform. The diversion platform is formed with a second connecting cylinder inserted and connected to the top cover. The top cover is formed with a first connecting cylinder inserted and connected to the second connecting cylinder. The first connecting cylinder and the second connecting cylinder are internally combined to form a cavity for collecting the nutrient solution diverted from the guide pipe.

[0006] Preferably, a drain outlet is formed on one side of the first connecting cylinder, and a first through hole is formed on one side of the drain outlet, which is connected to the second connecting cylinder, and the first through hole and the drain outlet are respectively connected to the cavity; the second connecting cylinder is formed with a second through hole connected to the first through hole, and the first through hole and the second through hole are connected to form a water outlet.

[0007] Preferably, the surface of the diversion platform is vertically surrounded by several partitions, and the partitions are equidistant from each other to form a water collection tank. The water outlet is located on one side of the water collection tank, and a flow channel is formed on one side of the water collection tank to guide the nutrient solution inside.

[0008] Preferably, the top cover is further provided with a first connector that is combined and connected with the diverter platform, and a protrusion is formed on the bottom end of the first connector facing the center of the top cover. The first connector and the protrusion are snapped onto the side of the diverter platform. Connecting rods are formed laterally distributed around the periphery of the diverter platform, and a second locking groove is formed on one side of the connecting rod to engage with the protrusion.

[0009] Preferably, the plant hydroponic module tube is formed to divert the nutrient solution collected inside, and there are at least two diversion holes, which are distributed around the bottom of the plant hydroponic module tube. The plant hydroponic module tube is also formed with a first positioning groove and a second connector, and the first positioning groove is distributed on both sides of the planting basket placement groove, and the second connector is vertically distributed around the outside of the plant hydroponic module tube.

[0010] Preferably, the water pump is provided with a second power line for transmitting energy to it, and the second power line is provided with a first power line for plugging into it, and the first power line is provided with a power plug for electrical connection thereto, and the power plug is fitted with an adapter plug that is compatible with different sockets.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the nutrient solution inside the tank is guided to the distribution module through the guide pipe by the water pump, and the nutrient solution is evenly distributed to the top of the hydroponic tower by the distribution module. Since the hydroponic tower is composed of multiple plant hydroponic module tubes stacked together, the distribution module evenly distributes the nutrient solution to the plant hydroponic module tubes located at the top of the hydroponic tower, and the nutrient solution flows into several planting baskets inside the plant hydroponic module tubes until the planting baskets are full of nutrient solution. The overflowing nutrient solution is then evenly transported to the lower plant hydroponic module tubes and evenly transported between the plant hydroponic module tubes until it falls into the plant hydroponic module tubes placed horizontally on the tank lid. During this process, the nutrient solution that is not absorbed and overflows flows back into the tank and is then returned to the distribution module by the water pump and guide pipe, and then distributed again by the distribution module until the nutrient solution is evenly distributed inside the plant hydroponic module tubes of each layer.

[0012] When multiple hydroponic plant module tubes are assembled, the upper hydroponic plant module tube is inserted into the first slot inside the lower hydroponic plant module tube through an externally formed second connector. The insertion and cooperation between the second connector and the first slot allows multiple hydroponic plant module tubes to be assembled so that they can be disassembled and stored inside the container later.

[0024] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-8In this embodiment of the invention, the novel hydroponic tower includes a tank 1 for storing nutrient solution and a lid 2 covering the tank 1. The tank 1 is equipped with a water pump 26 for drawing nutrient solution, and the outlet of the water pump 26 is connected to a guide pipe 9 for transmitting nutrient solution. The top of the lid 2 is fitted with the hydroponic tower body, and the lid 2 is also provided with holes (not shown in the figure) for the hydroponic tower body to be inserted and assembled, so that the hydroponic tower body can be vertically assembled on the lid 2. The hydroponic tower body consists of several plant hydroponic module tubes. The hydroponic tower is composed of stacked units 3, with adjacent plant hydroponic module tubes 3 stacked alternately. A diversion module is located at the top of the hydroponic tower. A guide pipe 9 passes through the hole in the bucket lid and connects to the diversion module, allowing for uniform distribution of the nutrient solution. The inner sidewalls of each plant hydroponic module tube 3 are obliquely and equidistantly formed with several planting basket placement slots 18, each containing a planting basket 4 for placing plants. The water pump 26 then pumps the nutrient solution from the tank. The nutrient solution inside the tank 1 is guided to the distribution module through the guide pipe 9, and then evenly distributed to the top of the hydroponic tower. Since the hydroponic tower is composed of multiple plant hydroponic module tubes 3 stacked together, the distribution module evenly distributes the nutrient solution to the plant hydroponic module tubes 3 located at the top of the hydroponic tower, and the solution flows into several planting basket storage troughs 18 inside the plant hydroponic module tubes 3. After the planting basket storage troughs 18 are filled with nutrient solution, the overflowing nutrient solution is evenly transported to the lower layer of plant hydroponic module tubes 3 and then evenly transported between the plant hydroponic module tubes 3 until it falls into the plant hydroponic module tubes 3 placed horizontally on the lid 2. During this process, the nutrient solution that is not absorbed and overflows flows back into the tank 1 and is then returned to the distribution module through the water pump 26 and the guide pipe 9, and then distributed again through the distribution module until the nutrient solution is evenly distributed inside the plant hydroponic module tubes 3 in each layer.

[0026] The diversion module includes a diversion platform 10 connected to the guide pipe 9 and a top cover 5 installed on the diversion platform 10. The diversion platform 10 is formed with a second connecting cylinder 23 inserted and connected to the top cover 5. The top cover 10 is formed with a first connecting cylinder 11 inserted and connected to the second connecting cylinder 23. The first connecting cylinder 11 and the second connecting cylinder 23 are internally combined to form a cavity for collecting the nutrient solution diverted from the guide pipe 9.

[0027] The first connecting cylinder 11 has a drain outlet 13 formed on one side, and a first through hole 12 formed on one side of the drain outlet 13, which is connected to the second connecting cylinder 23. The first through hole 12 and the drain outlet 13 are respectively connected to the cavity. When the water pump 26 draws the nutrient solution into the cavity through the guide pipe 9 via the drain outlet 13, it prevents the water pump 26 from draining too much and the pressure from being too high. The second connecting cylinder 23 has a second through hole 21 connected to the first through hole 12. The first through hole 12 and the second through hole 21 are connected to form a water outlet. The water outlet can evenly distribute the nutrient solution collected in the cavity to the distribution platform 10.

[0028] The surface of the diversion platform 10 is vertically surrounded by several partitions 22, and the partitions 22 are equidistantly spaced to form water collection tanks 19. The water outlet is located on one side of the water collection tank 19, and a flow channel 20 is formed on one side of the water collection tank 19 to guide the nutrient solution inside. The nutrient solution collected inside the cavity can flow out through the water outlet and into the water collection tank 19, and then the nutrient solution collected in the water collection tank 19 can be guided into the plant hydroponic module tube 3 through the flow channel 20.

[0029] The top cover 5 is also provided with a first connector 14 that is combined and connected with the diversion platform 10. The bottom end of the first connector 14 and the side facing the center of the top cover 5 are formed with a protrusion 15. The first connector 14 and the protrusion 15 are snapped onto the side of the diversion platform 10. Connecting rods 24 are formed laterally distributed around the periphery of the diversion platform 10. A second locking groove 25 is formed on one side of the connecting rod 24 that is interlocked with the protrusion 15. Thus, the interlocking between the protrusion 15 and the second locking groove 25 allows the top cover 5 and the diversion platform 10 to be snapped together.

[0030] The hydroponic module tube 3 is formed with diversion holes 28 to divert the nutrient solution collected inside. There are at least two diversion holes 28, all distributed around the bottom of the outer side of the hydroponic module tube 3. This allows the nutrient solution overflowing from the planting basket placement trough 18 and collected inside the hydroponic module tube 3 to be diverted to the next layer of hydroponic module tube 3, and so on, until it reaches the inside of each hydroponic module tube 3. The hydroponic module tube 3 also has a first locking groove 16 and a second connecting member 17, and the first locking groove 16... The second connectors 17 are distributed on both sides of the planting basket placement slot 18 and are vertically arranged around the outside of the plant hydroponic module tube 3. When multiple plant hydroponic module tubes 3 are inserted and combined, the upper plant hydroponic module tube 3 is inserted into the first slot 16 inside the lower plant hydroponic module tube 3 through the externally formed second connectors 17. Thus, through the insertion and cooperation between the second connectors 17 and the first slot 16, multiple plant hydroponic module tubes 3 can be inserted and combined, so that they can be disassembled and placed inside the bucket 1 for storage later.

[0031] The water pump 26 is provided with a second power line 27 for energy transmission, and the second power line 27 is provided with a first power line 6 for plugging into it. The first power line 6 is provided with a power plug 7 for electrical connection and an adapter plug 8 for plugging into different sockets. Through the electrical connection between the power plug 7 and the first power line 6 and the second power line 27, the water pump 26 is connected to the mains power, so that the mains power can supply power to the water pump 26, so that the nutrient solution inside the tank 1 can be drawn to the distribution module for uniform distribution.

[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
