Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of planting equipment technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic planting box. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of urban agriculture and renewable energy technologies, photovoltaic planting boxes that combine photovoltaic power generation with plant cultivation are gradually emerging.

[0003] Existing photovoltaic (PV) planting boxes typically fix PV modules to the box body to provide power for supplemental lighting inside the box. However, because the solar altitude angle and azimuth angle constantly change throughout the day and throughout the year, fixed PV modules can only obtain optimal irradiance during limited periods, and their power generation efficiency is significantly reduced at other times due to the deviation in the incident angle.

[0004] To improve power generation efficiency, solar-tracking photovoltaic (PV) brackets are typically installed independently outside the container, making the system complex and bulky, thus negating the advantages of miniaturization and mobility of the planting box. Therefore, how to maximize the sun-facing surface of the PV modules while maintaining a compact and integrated design to improve power generation efficiency remains a pressing technical challenge for PV planting boxes. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a photovoltaic planting box that can solve the problem of low power generation efficiency caused by the fixed angle of photovoltaic modules in related technologies.

[0006] This application provides a photovoltaic planting box; the photovoltaic planting box includes a support frame, an aeroponic tank, photovoltaic modules, a locking / unlocking mechanism, a planting board, and an infusion assembly. The aeroponic tank is installed on the bottom side of the support frame and is used to hold nutrient solution. The photovoltaic modules are movably installed on the top side of the support frame. The locking / unlocking mechanism is movably connected to the support frame and can switch between a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the locking / unlocking mechanism is configured to lock the photovoltaic modules to the support frame so that the angle between the photovoltaic modules and the support frame is fixed. In the unlocked state, the locking / unlocking mechanism is configured to release the photovoltaic modules to the support frame so that the angle between the photovoltaic modules and the support frame is adjustable. The planting board is disposed on the support frame and located between the aeroponic tank and the photovoltaic modules. The planting board is used to fix the plants. At least a portion of the infusion assembly is installed on the support frame. The inlet end of the infusion assembly is connected to the aeroponic tank, and the outlet end of the infusion assembly is used to supply nutrient solution to the plants on the planting board.

[0007] Based on the photovoltaic planting box of this application embodiment, by designing photovoltaic modules, solar energy can be converted into electrical energy to provide green energy for electrical components such as the infusion component, enabling the hydroponic system inside the box to operate off-grid or with low grid power. By designing locking and unlocking components, the photovoltaic modules can be angled by switching between locked and unlocked states, so that the light-receiving surface of the photovoltaic modules faces the sun as much as possible, improving power generation efficiency. By designing the infusion component, the infusion component is used to deliver nutrient solution to the roots of plants, realizing hydroponic planting, eliminating soil-borne diseases, reducing pesticide use, and saving energy and protecting the environment. By designing the photovoltaic modules above the planting board, "power generation on the upper layer and planting on the lower layer" is achieved in the same vertical space, increasing the output per unit area, realizing agricultural-photovoltaic complementarity, and the upper photovoltaic modules can provide shade and cooling for the plants below during periods of strong sunlight. The upper photovoltaic modules can also act as a top barrier to reduce rainwater directly washing over the plants below. Attached Figure Description

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0019] Please refer to Figures 1-4 As shown, this application proposes a photovoltaic planting box 1, which can improve the photovoltaic power generation efficiency of photovoltaic module 30.

[0020] The photovoltaic planting box 1 includes a support frame 10, an aeroponic tank 20, a photovoltaic module 30, a locking / unlocking mechanism 40, a planting board 50, and an infusion assembly 60. The aeroponic tank 20 is installed on the bottom side of the support frame 10 and is used to hold nutrient solution. The photovoltaic module 30 is movably installed on the top side of the support frame 10. The locking / unlocking mechanism 40 is movably connected to the support frame 10 and can switch between a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the locking / unlocking mechanism 40 is configured to lock the photovoltaic module 30 to the support frame 10, fixing the angle between the photovoltaic module 30 and the support frame 10; in the unlocked state, the locking / unlocking mechanism 40 is configured to release the photovoltaic module 30 from the support frame 10, allowing the angle between the photovoltaic module 30 and the support frame 10 to be adjustable. The planting board 50 is disposed on the support frame 10 and located between the aeroponic tank 20 and the photovoltaic module 30, and is used to fix the plant. At least a portion of the infusion assembly 60 is mounted on the support 10. The inlet end of the infusion assembly 60 is connected to the aeroponic tank 20, and the outlet end of the infusion assembly 60 is used to supply nutrient solution to the plants on the planting board 50.

[0021] The following combination Figures 1-8 The specific structure of the photovoltaic planting box 1 will be described in detail.

[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the photovoltaic planting box 1 includes a support frame 10, an aeroponic tank 20, a photovoltaic module 30, a locking and unlocking component 40, a planting board 50, and an infusion assembly 60.

[0023] The support frame 10 serves as the framework for the photovoltaic planting box 1, supporting components such as the aeroponic tank 20, photovoltaic modules 30, locking and unlocking components 40, planting board 50, and infusion assembly 60. The specific material of the support frame 10 is not limited here; designers can design it appropriately according to actual needs. For example, the material of the support frame 10 can be, but is not limited to, stainless steel or aluminum alloy. The specific structure of the support frame 10 will be described in detail below.

[0024] The aeroponic tank 20 is used to hold the nutrient solution and is installed on the bottom side of the support 10. The specific installation method between the aeroponic tank 20 and the support 10 is not limited here; designers can design it reasonably according to actual needs. For example, the aeroponic tank 20 can be detachably connected to the support 10 by at least one of the following methods: screwing, snap-fitting, or plugging. Alternatively, the aeroponic tank 20 can also be non-detachably fixedly connected to the support 10 by riveting or welding, but not limited to this method.

[0025] The photovoltaic module 30 serves as the energy conversion device for the photovoltaic planting box 1, used to convert solar energy into electrical energy. The specific structure of the photovoltaic module 30 will be described in detail below.

[0026] The photovoltaic module 30 is movably mounted on the top side of the bracket 10. By changing the relative position between the photovoltaic module 30 and the bracket 10, the photovoltaic module 30's light-receiving surface is made to face the sun as much as possible, thereby improving the photovoltaic module 30's power generation efficiency. The specific movable connection method between the photovoltaic module 30 and the bracket 10 is not limited here; designers can design it reasonably according to actual needs. For example, the photovoltaic module 30 can be slidably connected to the top side of the bracket 10. In this case, the photovoltaic module 30's light-receiving surface can face the sun as much as possible by sliding relative to the bracket 10. Alternatively, the photovoltaic module 30 can also be rotatably connected to the top side of the bracket 10. In this case, the photovoltaic module 30's light-receiving surface can face the sun as much as possible by rotating relative to the bracket 10.

[0027] The locking and unlocking component 40 serves as a locking structure for the photovoltaic planting box 1 to fix the relative position between the photovoltaic module 30 and the support 10. On the other hand, the locking and unlocking component 40 serves as a releasing structure for the photovoltaic planting box 1 to change the relative position between the photovoltaic module 30 and the support 10.

[0028] The locking / unlocking component 40 is movably connected to the bracket 10. The specific movable connection method between the locking / unlocking component 40 and the bracket 10 is not limited here. Designers can make reasonable designs according to actual needs. It is also understood that the specific movable connection method between the locking / unlocking component 40 and the bracket 10 will be different for different specific forms of the locking / unlocking component 40.

[0029] The lock / unlock device 40 has a locked state and an unlocked state, and the lock / unlock device 40 can switch between the locked state and the unlocked state.

[0030] When the locking / unlocking component 40 is in the locked state, it is configured to lock the photovoltaic module 30 to the support 10, thereby fixing the relative position between the photovoltaic module 30 and the support 10 and thus fixing the angle between them. When the locking / unlocking component 40 is in the unlocked state, it is configured to release the photovoltaic module 30 from the support 10, thereby changing the relative position between them and thus making the angle between them adjustable. By switching between the locked and unlocked states, the locking / unlocking component 40 allows for angle adjustment of the photovoltaic module 30, maximizing the sunlight-receiving surface of the photovoltaic module 30 and improving its power generation efficiency.

[0031] The planting board 50 is used to fix the plant. The planting board 50 has multiple fixing holes 51. The plant is fixed by inserting the roots of the plant into the fixing holes 51.

[0032] The planting board 50 is mounted on the support 10 and located between the aeroponic tank 20 and the photovoltaic module 30. The specific arrangement between the planting board 50 and the support 10 is not limited here, and the designer can make a reasonable design according to the actual needs. For example, the planting board 50 and the support 10 may not have any connection relationship, and the planting board 50 can be directly tilted and placed on the support 10. Alternatively, the planting board 50 and the support 10 may also have a connection relationship. In this case, the planting board 50 may be detachably connected to the support 10 by at least one of the following methods: screw connection, snap connection, or plug connection.

[0033] The infusion component 60 serves as the liquid supply pipeline for the photovoltaic planting box 1. The specific structure of the infusion component 60 will be described in detail below.

[0034] At least a portion of the infusion assembly 60 is mounted on the support 10; the specific installation method between the infusion assembly 60 and the support 10 is not limited here, and the designer can make a reasonable design according to actual needs; for example, the infusion assembly 60 can be detachably connected to the support 10 by means of screwing, snap-fitting, plugging or binding; for another example, the infusion assembly 60 can also be non-detachably connected to the support 10 by means of riveting or welding.

[0035] The inlet end of the infusion assembly 60 is connected to the aeroponic tank 20, and the outlet end of the infusion assembly 60 is used to supply nutrient solution to the plants on the planting board 50. Thus, the nutrient solution in the aeroponic tank 20 flows into the infusion assembly 60 from the inlet end, passes through the infusion assembly 60, and then flows out from the outlet end of the infusion assembly 60 and is transported to the plant roots. The "inlet end" of the infusion assembly 60 is the part of the infusion assembly 60 used to allow the nutrient solution from the aeroponic tank 20 to flow into the infusion assembly 60; the "outlet end" of the infusion assembly 60 is the part of the infusion assembly 60 used to allow the nutrient solution to flow out of the infusion assembly 60.

[0036] Based on the photovoltaic planting box 1 in this application embodiment, the photovoltaic module 30 is designed to convert solar energy into electrical energy, providing green energy for electrical components such as the infusion module 60, enabling the hydroponic system inside the box to operate off-grid or with low grid power. The locking / unlocking component 40, by switching between locked and unlocked states, allows for angle adjustment of the photovoltaic module 30, maximizing the sun-facing surface and improving power generation efficiency. The infusion module 60 delivers nutrient solution to the plant roots, enabling hydroponic cultivation, eliminating soil-borne diseases, reducing pesticide use, and promoting energy conservation and environmental protection. By placing the photovoltaic module 30 above the planting board 50, "power generation on the upper layer, planting on the lower layer" is achieved in the same vertical space, increasing the yield per unit area and realizing agricultural-photovoltaic complementarity. Furthermore, the upper photovoltaic module 30 can provide shade and cooling for the plants below during periods of strong sunlight, and can also act as a top barrier to reduce direct rainwater runoff from the plants below.

[0037] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the support frame 10 includes a lower side beam frame 11, a first upper side beam frame 12, a first column 13, and a second column 14. The aeroponic tank 20 is installed on the lower side beam frame 11; the locking / unlocking component 40 is slidably connected to the first upper side beam frame 12; the bottom end of the first column 13 is connected to the lower side beam frame 11, and the top end of the first column 13 is connected to the first upper side beam frame 12; the bottom end of the second column 14 is connected to the first upper side beam frame 12; the first end of the photovoltaic module 30 is slidably connected to the first upper side beam frame 12, and the second end of the photovoltaic module 30 is slidably connected to the second column 14.

[0038] The specific installation method between the aeroponic tank 20 and the lower beam frame 11 is not limited here, and the designer can make a reasonable design according to the actual needs. For example, the aeroponic tank 20 can be detachably fixedly connected to the lower beam frame 11 by at least one of the following methods: screw connection, snap connection or plug connection. Alternatively, the aeroponic tank 20 can also be non-detachably fixedly connected to the lower beam frame 11 by riveting or welding. Specifically, the lower beam frame 11 includes a first horizontal beam 111, a first vertical beam 112, a second horizontal beam 113, a second vertical beam 114, and an upright beam 115. The two ends of the first horizontal beam 111 are fixedly connected to the top of the upright beam 115, and the two ends of the first vertical beam 112 are fixedly connected to the top of the upright beam 115. The first horizontal beam 111 and the first vertical beam 112 enclose a rectangular frame. The second horizontal beam 113 is located below the first horizontal beam 111 and its two ends are fixedly connected to the upright beam 115. The second vertical beam 114 is located below the first vertical beam 112 and its two ends are fixedly connected to the upright beam 115. The second horizontal beam 113 and the second vertical beam 114 enclose another rectangular frame. In this way, the lower beam frame 11 forms a two-layer frame structure, making the structure more stable.

[0039] The specific connection method between the first column 13 and the lower side beam frame 11 is not limited here; designers can design it reasonably according to actual needs. For example, the first column 13 can be detachably and fixedly connected to the lower side beam frame 11 by at least one of the following methods: screwing, snap-fitting, or plugging. Alternatively, the first column 13 can also be non-detachably and fixedly connected to the lower side beam frame 11 by riveting or welding. Similarly, the specific connection method between the first column 13 and the first upper side beam frame 12 is not limited here; designers can design it reasonably according to actual needs. For example, the first column 13 can be detachably and fixedly connected to the first upper side beam frame 12 by at least one of the following methods: screwing, snap-fitting, or plugging. Alternatively, the first column 13 can also be non-detachably and fixedly connected to the first upper side beam frame 12 by riveting or welding.

[0040] The specific connection method between the second column 14 and the first upper beam frame 12 is not limited here. Designers can make reasonable designs according to actual needs. For example, the second column 14 can be detachably and fixedly connected to the first upper beam frame 12 by at least one of the following methods: screw connection, snap connection, or plug connection. Alternatively, the second column 14 can also be non-detachably and fixedly connected to the first upper beam frame 12 by riveting or welding.

[0041] By designing the lower side beam frame 11, which serves as a base for installing the aeroponic tank 20 and providing primary support for the frame formed by assembling the first column 13, the first upper side beam frame 12, and the second column 14, the lower side beam frame 11 serves as a base for supporting the first upper side beam frame 12. The first upper side beam frame 12 is slidably connected to the first end of the photovoltaic module 30, and the second column 14 is slidably connected to the second end of the photovoltaic module 30, providing a movement track for the photovoltaic module 30. This allows the photovoltaic module 30 to slide relative to the first upper side beam frame 12 and the second column 14, changing its tilt angle relative to the support 10. This ensures that the light-receiving surface of the photovoltaic module 30 faces the sun as much as possible, effectively improving the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic module 30.

[0042] like Figures 4-6 As shown, the locking / unlocking component 40 includes a handle 41 slidably connected to the first upper beam frame 12; the handle 41 is adapted to rotate under force to press against the first upper beam frame 12, thereby remaining stationary relative to the first upper beam frame 12, so as to lock the first end of the photovoltaic module 30 to the first upper beam frame 12; the handle 41 is also adapted to rotate under force to release the first upper beam frame 12, thereby moving relative to the first upper beam frame 12 to push against the photovoltaic module 30, so as to release the first end of the photovoltaic module 30 from the first upper beam frame 12.

[0043] Specifically, the handle 41 includes a handle body 411, a wedge 412, and a locking stud 413. The handle body 411 is rotatably connected to the wedge 412, and the wedge 412 is slidably connected to the groove of the first upper side beam frame 12. The locking stud 413 is threadedly connected to the handle body 411 and the wedge 412. Rotating the handle body 411 in the reverse direction causes the locking stud 413 to press against the side of the groove of the first upper side beam frame 12, thereby positioning the entire handle 41 on the first upper side beam frame 12. Rotating the handle body 411 in the forward direction causes the locking stud 413 to disengage from the side of the groove of the first upper side beam frame 12, thereby allowing the entire handle 41 to slide relative to the groove of the first upper side beam frame 12. The handle 41 also includes a pulley 414, which is rotatably connected to the wedge block 412. When the entire handle 41 slides relative to the groove of the first upper beam frame 12, the pulley 414 rolls on the side wall of the groove of the first upper beam frame 12.

[0044] By designing the locking / unlocking component 40 as a handle 41 slidably connected to the first upper beam frame 12, when the tilt angle of the photovoltaic module 30 needs to be adjusted, the user rotates the handle 411 forward, causing the handle 411 to disengage the locking / unlocking stud 413 from the side of the groove in the first upper beam frame 12. This allows the entire handle 41 to slide relative to the groove in the first upper beam frame 12, at which point the handle 41 is unlocked from the first upper beam frame 12. The user then pushes the handle 41 to move it along the groove in the first upper beam frame 12. The movement of the handle 41 relative to the first upper beam frame 12 pushes the photovoltaic module 30, which is slidably connected to the first upper beam frame 12, along the groove in the first upper beam frame 12. The sliding movement of the side beam frame 12 releases the photovoltaic module 30 onto the first upper side beam frame 12, thereby changing the tilt angle of the photovoltaic module 30 relative to the bracket 10 until the photovoltaic module 30 moves to the sun-facing side. The user stops pushing the handle 41 and rotates the handle 411 in the opposite direction, causing the handle 411 to drive the locking stud 413 of the handle 41 to press against the side of the sliding groove of the first upper side beam frame 12. At this time, the handle 41 is locked to the first upper side beam frame 12 and is in a locked state. The wedge 412 of the handle 41 limits the photovoltaic module 30, keeping the photovoltaic module 30 stationary relative to the first upper side beam frame 12, thus locking the photovoltaic module 30 onto the first upper side beam frame 12.

[0045] Of course, in other embodiments, the locking / unlocking component 40 may also include a slider (not shown in the figure), a pin (not shown in the figure), and a spring (not shown in the figure). In this case, the left side of the groove of the first upper beam frame 12 is provided with an elongated hole extending along the extension direction of the groove, and the right side of the groove of the first upper beam frame 12 is provided with a plurality of insertion holes spaced apart along the extension direction of the groove. The slider is slidably connected to the groove of the first upper beam frame 12. The pin passes through the elongated hole and through the slider and is inserted into one of its insertion holes. The spring is located in the groove of the slider and is wound around the pin. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the pin, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the slider. The spring is suitable for generating elastic deformation during the process of the pin disengaging from the insertion hole. The user inserts or removes the pin to make the pin engage or disengage from the insertion hole, thereby achieving relative fixation or relative change of the position between the slider and the first upper beam frame 12, thereby locking or unlocking the photovoltaic module 30 to the first upper beam frame 12.

[0046] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the photovoltaic module 30 includes a photovoltaic panel 31 for converting solar energy into electrical energy. Other structural designs for the photovoltaic module 30 may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following embodiments.

[0047] like Figure 4As shown, in the first embodiment, the photovoltaic module 30 further includes a first sliding member 32 and a first rotating member 33; the first sliding member 32 is slidably connected to the first upper beam frame 12; the first rotating member 33 is rotatably engaged with the first sliding member 32, and the first rotating member 33 is fixedly connected to the photovoltaic panel 31. By designing the first sliding member 32 and the first rotating member 33, the first sliding member 32 is slidably connected to the first upper beam frame 12, and the first rotating member 33 is fixedly connected to the photovoltaic panel 31 while rotatably engaging with the first sliding member 32. Thus, when the first sliding member 32 slides relative to the groove of the first upper beam frame 12, the first rotating member 33 rotates relative to the first sliding member 32, so that the photovoltaic panel 31, which is fixedly connected to the first rotating member 33, also rotates with the first rotating member 33, thereby changing the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel 31 and making the light-receiving surface of the photovoltaic panel 31 face the sun as much as possible, so as to improve the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel 31. Specifically, the first sliding member 32 includes two first sliding blocks and a first connecting shaft. The two first sliding blocks are slidably connected to the grooves of the first upper beam frame 12, and the two ends of the first connecting shaft are fixedly connected to the two first sliding blocks respectively. The first rotating member 33 includes multiple first rotating blocks, which are rotatably engaged with the first connecting shaft. The multiple first rotating blocks can be fixedly connected to the photovoltaic panel 31 by at least one of the following methods: screw connection, snap-fit ​​connection, or plug-in connection. Of course, the first sliding member 32 may also include a first slide rail, the two ends of which are slidably connected to the grooves of the first upper beam frame 12. The first rotating member 33 includes multiple first rotating wheels, which are rotatably engaged with the first slide rail. The multiple first rotating wheels can be fixedly connected to the photovoltaic panel 31 by at least one of the following methods: screw connection, snap-fit ​​connection, or plug-in connection.

[0048] like Figure 7As shown, in the second embodiment, the photovoltaic module 30 further includes a second sliding member 34 and a second rotating member 35; the second sliding member 34 is slidably connected to the second column 14; the second rotating member 35 is rotatably engaged with the second sliding member 34, and the second rotating member 35 is fixedly connected to the photovoltaic panel 31. By designing the second sliding member 34 and the second rotating member 35, the second sliding member 34 is slidably connected to the second column 14, and the second rotating member 35 is fixedly connected to the photovoltaic panel 31 while rotatably engaged with the second sliding member 34. Thus, when the second sliding member 34 slides relative to the groove of the second column 14, the second rotating member 35 rotates relative to the second sliding member 34, so that the photovoltaic panel 31, which is fixedly connected to the second rotating member 35, also rotates with the second rotating member 35, thereby changing the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel 31 and making the light-receiving surface of the photovoltaic panel 31 face the sun as much as possible, thereby improving the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel 31. Specifically, the second sliding member 34 includes two second sliding blocks and a second connecting shaft. The two second sliding blocks are slidably connected to the grooves of the second column 14, and the two ends of the second connecting shaft are fixedly connected to the two second sliding blocks respectively. The second rotating member 35 includes multiple second rotating blocks, which are rotatably engaged with the second connecting shaft. The multiple second rotating blocks can be fixedly connected to the photovoltaic panel 31 by at least one of the following methods: screw connection, snap-fit ​​connection, or plug-in connection. Of course, the second sliding member 34 may also include a second slide rail, the two ends of which are slidably connected to the grooves of the second column 14. The second rotating member 35 includes multiple second rotating wheels, which are rotatably engaged with the second slide rail. The multiple second rotating wheels can be fixedly connected to the photovoltaic panel 31 by at least one of the following methods: screw connection, snap-fit ​​connection, or plug-in connection.

[0049] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the bottom end of the second column 14 is connected to the middle of the first upper beam frame 12; there are two photovoltaic modules 30, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the second column 14. Each photovoltaic module 30 is equipped with a locking / unlocking component 40 that is slidably connected to the first upper beam frame 12. By operating the locking / unlocking component 40 individually, the user can change the tilt angle of the corresponding photovoltaic module 30, so that the light-receiving surface of both photovoltaic modules 30 faces the sun as much as possible, thereby improving the power generation efficiency of the two photovoltaic modules 30.

[0050] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8As shown, the support frame 10 also includes a second upper side beam frame 15, a first inclined beam 16, a top plate 17, and a side plate 18. The second upper side beam frame 15 is located below the first upper side beam frame 12, and the width of the second upper side beam frame 15 is smaller than the width of the lower side beam frame 11. The bottom side of the planting board 50 is supported by the lower side beam frame 11, and the top side of the planting board 50 is supported by the second upper side beam frame 15. The bottom end of the first inclined beam 16 is connected to the lower side beam frame 11, and the top end of the first inclined beam 16 is connected to the second upper side beam frame 15. The outer edge of the top plate 17 is connected to the second upper side beam frame 15. The outer edge of the side plate 18 is connected to the lower side beam frame 11, the first inclined beam 16, and the second upper side beam frame 15, respectively. The side plate 18, the planting board 50, the aeroponic tank 20, and the top plate 17 together form a hydroponic cavity for the flow of nutrient solution.

[0051] The specific connection method between the first inclined beam 16 and the lower side beam frame 11 is not limited here; designers can design it reasonably according to actual needs. For example, the first inclined beam 16 can be detachably fixedly connected to the lower side beam frame 11 by at least one of the following methods: screwing, snap-fitting, or plugging. Alternatively, the first inclined beam 16 can also be non-detachably fixedly connected to the lower side beam frame 11 by riveting or welding. Similarly, the specific connection method between the first inclined beam 16 and the second upper side beam frame 15 is not limited here; designers can design it reasonably according to actual needs. For example, the first inclined beam 16 can be detachably fixedly connected to the second upper side beam frame 15 by at least one of the following methods: screwing, snap-fitting, or plugging. Alternatively, the first inclined beam 16 can also be non-detachably fixedly connected to the second upper side beam frame 15 by riveting or welding.

[0052] The specific connection method between the top plate 17 and the second upper side beam frame 15 is not limited here. Designers can make reasonable designs according to actual needs. For example, the top plate 17 can be detachably and fixedly connected to the second upper side beam frame 15 by at least one of the following methods: screw connection, snap connection or plug connection. For another example, the top plate 17 can also be non-detachably and fixedly connected to the second upper side beam frame 15 by riveting or welding.

[0053] The specific connection method between the side plate 18 and the lower side beam frame 11 (or the first inclined beam 16 or the second upper side beam frame 15) is not limited here. Designers can make reasonable designs according to actual needs. For example, the side plate 18 can be detachably and fixedly connected to the lower side beam frame 11 (or the first inclined beam 16 or the second upper side beam frame 15) by at least one of the following methods: screw connection, snap connection or plug connection. For another example, the side plate 18 can also be non-detachably and fixedly connected to the lower side beam frame 11 (or the first inclined beam 16 or the second upper side beam frame 15) by riveting or welding.

[0054] By designing the second upper side beam frame 15, the first inclined beam 16, the top plate 17, and the side plate 18, the side plate 18, the planting plate 50, and the top plate 17 are arranged together to form a photovoltaic planting box 1 with a trapezoidal cross-section. The planting plate 50 is set on both sides of the trapezoidal structure, which can improve the planting efficiency of the photovoltaic planting box 1. The side plate 18, the planting plate 50, the aeroponic pool 20, and the top plate 17 are arranged together to form a hydroponic cavity for the flow of nutrient solution, which can reduce the loss of nutrient solution and prevent the nutrient solution from being contaminated.

[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, the photovoltaic module 30 also includes a photovoltaic panel (not shown in the figure), which is disposed on the outer surface of the side panel 18. The photovoltaic panel can also convert solar energy into electrical energy, so that the side of the photovoltaic planting box 1 can also convert solar energy into electrical energy when it is exposed to sunlight, thereby improving power generation efficiency.

[0056] Specifically, the photovoltaic planting box 1 also includes clamping components, which clamp and fix the photovoltaic panels to the outer surface of the side panel 18. The clamping components can be, but are not limited to, dovetail clips. This facilitates the installation of the photovoltaic panels to the side panel 18. Alternatively, the photovoltaic planting box 1 also includes adhesive components (not shown in the figure), which adhesively fix the photovoltaic panels to the outer surface of the side panel 18. The adhesive components can be, but are not limited to, double-sided adhesive. This also facilitates the installation of the photovoltaic panels to the side panel 18.

[0057] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the photovoltaic planting box 1 also includes casters, which are mounted on the lower side beam frame 11. The casters facilitate the user's handling and movement of the photovoltaic planting box 1.

[0058] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, the infusion assembly 60 includes an infusion pump 61, an infusion line 62, and an infusion nozzle 63. The infusion pump 61 is installed in the aeroponic tank 20; the infusion line 62 is mounted on the bracket 10 and communicates with the infusion pump 61, with the inlet of the infusion line 62 extending into the nutrient solution of the aeroponic tank 20 as the inlet end of the infusion assembly 60; the infusion nozzle 63 is connected to the infusion line 62 as the outlet end of the infusion assembly 60.

[0059] The infusion pump 61 is used to generate suction force. Under the suction force of the infusion pump 61, the nutrient solution in the aeroponic tank 20 flows from the inlet of the infusion pipeline 62 into the infusion pipeline 62, flows in the infusion pipeline 62, and finally sprays out from the nozzle of the infusion nozzle 63 to sprinkle on the roots of the plant.

[0060] Specifically, the aeroponic tank 20 includes a tank body 21 and a sealed box 22; the tank body 21 is used to hold the nutrient solution; the sealed box 22 is sealed to the tank body 21, and the infusion pump 61 is installed inside the sealed box 22. The infusion pipeline 62 includes an inlet pipe 621, a connecting pipe 622, and an outlet pipe 623; the inlet of the inlet pipe 621 extends into the nutrient solution in the tank body 21 as the inlet end of the infusion assembly 60, and the outlet of the inlet pipe 621 is connected to the inlet of the infusion pump 61; the inlet of the connecting pipe 622 is connected to the outlet of the infusion pump 61, and the outlet of the connecting pipe 622 is connected to the inlet of the outlet pipe 623; the outlet of the outlet pipe 623 is connected to the infusion nozzle 63.

[0061] The specific connection method between the infusion pump 61 and the sealed box 22 is not limited here, and designers can design it reasonably according to actual needs. For example, the infusion pump 61 can be detachably and fixedly connected to the sealed box 22 by at least one of the following methods: screw connection, snap connection, or plug connection. By designing the infusion pump 61 inside the sealed box 22, contact between the infusion pump 61 and the nutrient solution in the pool 21 can be avoided, preventing the nutrient solution from corroding the infusion pump 61 and extending the service life of the infusion pump 61.

[0062] There can be multiple nutrient outlet pipes 623, arranged in layers from top to bottom, with the number of pipes 623 in different layers being the same or different. Based on this, the connecting pipe 622 has multiple outlets, each connected to one of the multiple nutrient outlet pipes 623 via connectors. Each nutrient outlet pipe 623 has multiple outlets spaced apart, each connected to one of multiple infusion nozzles 63. This design ensures that the nutrient solution sprayed from the infusion nozzles 63 can cover the plant's root system as comprehensively as possible, allowing for better nutrient absorption by the roots.

[0063] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, the support 10 also includes a second inclined beam 19a, a first support beam 19b, and a second support beam 19c; the bottom end of the second inclined beam 19a is connected to the lower side beam frame 11, and the top end of the second inclined beam 19a is connected to the second upper side beam frame 15; both ends of the first support beam 19b are connected to the first inclined beam 16; both ends of the second support beam 19c are connected to the second inclined beam 19a. A connecting pipe 622 is fixed to the first support beam 19b, and a liquid outlet pipe 623 is fixed to the second support beam 19c.

[0064] The specific connection method between the second inclined beam 19a and the lower beam frame 11 (or the second upper beam frame 15) is not limited here, and the designer can make a reasonable design according to the actual needs. For example, the second inclined beam 19a can be detachably and fixedly connected to the lower beam frame 11 (or the second upper beam frame 15) by at least one of the following methods: screw connection, snap connection, or plug connection. Alternatively, the second inclined beam 19a can also be non-detachably and fixedly connected to the lower beam frame 11 (or the second upper beam frame 15) by riveting or welding.

[0065] The specific connection method between the first support beam 19b and the first inclined beam 16 is not limited here, and the designer can make a reasonable design according to the actual needs. For example, the first support beam 19b can be detachably and fixedly connected to the first inclined beam 16 by at least one of the following methods: screw connection, snap connection or plug connection. For another example, the first support beam 19b can also be non-detachably and fixedly connected to the first inclined beam 16 by riveting or welding.

[0066] The specific connection method between the second support beam 19c and the second inclined beam 19a is not limited here, and the designer can make a reasonable design according to the actual needs. For example, the second support beam 19c can be detachably and fixedly connected to the second inclined beam 19a by at least one of the following methods: screw connection, snap connection or plug connection. For another example, the second support beam 19c can also be non-detachably and fixedly connected to the second inclined beam 19a by riveting or welding.

[0067] The specific installation method between the connecting pipe 622 and the first support beam 19b is not limited here; designers can design it reasonably according to actual needs. For example, the connecting pipe 622 can be fixed to the first support beam 19b by, but is not limited to, components such as straps, wires, or clamps. Similarly, the specific installation method between the outlet pipe 623 and the second support beam 19c is not limited here; designers can design it reasonably according to actual needs. For example, the outlet pipe 623 can be fixed to the second support beam 19c by, but is not limited to, components such as straps, wires, or clamps.

[0068] By designing the second inclined beam 19a, the second inclined beam 19a is connected to the second support beam 19c on one hand, and on the other hand, it acts as a reinforcing rib to enhance the overall structural strength of the support 10; by designing the first support beam 19b, the first support beam 19b is used to fix the connecting pipe 622 on one hand, and on the other hand, it acts as a reinforcing rib to enhance the overall structural strength of the support 10; by designing the second support beam 19c, the second support beam 19c is used to fix the liquid outlet pipe 623 on one hand, and on the other hand, it acts as a reinforcing rib to enhance the overall structural strength of the support 10.

[0069] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, the infusion line 62 also includes a drain pipe 624, with one end of the drain pipe 624 connected to the connecting pipe 622 and the other end of the drain pipe 624 extending outside the pool body 21. The infusion assembly 60 also includes a spray valve 64 and a drain valve 65; the spray valve 64 is located on the connecting pipe 622; and the drain valve 65 is located on the drain pipe 624.

[0070] Among them, the spray valve 64 is used to control the opening and closing of the connecting pipe 622; the drain valve 65 is used to control the opening and closing of the drain pipe 624. The spray valve 64 and drain valve 65 can be manual valves. When it is necessary to spray nutrient solution on the plant roots, the user can directly operate the spray valve 64 to open and the drain valve 65 to close manually. At this time, the nutrient solution in the pool 21 flows into the inlet pipe 621 from the inlet under the suction force of the infusion pump 61, flows through the infusion pump 61, the connecting pipe 622 and the outlet pipe 623 in sequence, and finally sprays out from the infusion nozzle 63 to sprinkle on the plant roots. When it is necessary to replace the nutrient solution in the pool 21, the user can directly operate the spray valve 64 to close and the drain valve 65 to open manually. At this time, the nutrient solution in the pool 21 flows into the inlet pipe 621 from the inlet under the suction force of the infusion pump 61, flows through the infusion pump 61, the connecting pipe 622 and the drain pipe 624 in sequence, and finally flows out from the outlet of the drain pipe 624 to the outside of the pool 21. The spray valve 64 and drain valve 65 can also be automatic valves. The photovoltaic planting box 1 also includes a remote control. When it is necessary to spray nutrient solution on the plant roots, the user presses the "spray" switch on the remote control. The infusion pump 61 starts, the spray valve 64 is opened, and the drain valve 65 is closed. At this time, the nutrient solution in the tank 21 flows from the inlet of the infusion pipe 621 into the infusion pipe 621 under the suction force of the infusion pump 61, flows through the infusion pump 61, the connecting pipe 622 and the outlet pipe 623 in sequence, and finally flows out of the infusion pipe 621. The nozzle 63 sprays the solution onto the plant roots. When the nutrient solution in the pool 21 needs to be replaced, the user presses the "drain" switch on the remote control. The infusion pump 61 starts, the spray valve 64 closes, and the drain valve 65 opens. At this time, the nutrient solution in the pool 21 flows from the inlet of the infusion pipe 621 into the infusion pipe 621 under the suction force of the infusion pump 61. It then flows through the infusion pump 61, the connecting pipe 622, and the drain pipe 624 in sequence, and finally flows out of the pool 21 from the outlet of the drain pipe 624.

[0071] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8As shown, the sealed box 22 includes a box body 221 and a cover 222; the box body 221 is located inside the tank of the pool body 21 and is sealed to the pool wall of the pool body 21, and the opening of the box body 221 penetrates one side of the pool wall of the pool body 21; the cover 222 is connected to the box body 221 to open or close the opening of the box body 221. The liquid discharge pump is located in the cavity formed by the box body 221 and the cover 222.

[0072] The lid 222 can be rotatably connected to the box 221, in which case the lid 222 opens or closes the box opening of the box 221 by rotating; the lid 222 can also be slidably connected to the box 221, in which case the lid 222 opens or closes the box opening of the box 221 by sliding.

[0073] By designing the opening of the housing 221 to penetrate one side of the pool wall of the pool body 21, and the cover 222 connected to the housing 221 to open or close the opening of the housing 221, it is convenient for users to repair or replace the infusion pump 61 from outside the pool body 21 by opening and closing the cover 222.
