Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant growing cabinet technology, and in particular to a water supply mechanism for a plant growing cabinet with a water tray. Background Technology
[0002] The biggest feature of ecological planting cabinets is that they can be used for both soilless and soil-based planting, depending on the type of plant. The photosynthesis required by the plants is generated by LED lights. Ecological planting cabinets can achieve multi-layer planting in terms of space, which makes the planting cabinets occupy a small area but still ensures the yield. Ecological planting cabinets are not only easy to operate, but also prevent insect infestation and eliminate agricultural pollution problems because they are indoors, truly bringing people a green and healthy life.
[0003] Most of the planting cabinets on the market today have a multi-layer planting structure, which greatly improves the space utilization rate. However, water needs to be guided to each cultivation area through pipes and conveyor belts between the multiple layers. After being transported, the water is only used in the planting layer. Long-term use of fixed water will make it difficult for the plant roots to absorb oxygen from the water. At the same time, fixed water will also cause decay, further causing the plant roots to rot.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0021] Example
[0022] The water supply mechanism for the planting cabinet includes: planting cabinet 1, and planting water tray 2 installed inside the planting cabinet 1. A water supply and drainage mechanism 3 is installed on the back side inside the planting cabinet 1.
[0023] The planting cabinet 1 includes a cabinet body 11. Both sides of the inner wall of the cabinet body 11 are provided with multiple sets of evenly distributed insertion slots 12 corresponding to the planting water trays 2. These slots can support and fix the planting water trays 2 when they are inserted into the cabinet body 11 to prevent them from falling off. At the same time, the light control panel 23 can be adjusted according to the height of the plants during actual planting to meet the supplemental lighting needs of plants at different heights. The back end of the cabinet body 11 is equipped with a fixing back plate 13 for easy installation of the water supply and drainage mechanism 3. A water storage tank 14 is provided at the lower end of the cabinet body 11 to supply water during long-term planting. Nutrient solution can also be added inside for recycling.
[0024] The planting water tray 2 includes a water storage tray 21 for contact between plant roots during planting. A drainage channel 24 is provided on the back end of the water storage tray 21 to drain water from inside. Limit grooves 25 are provided on both inner side walls of the drainage channel 24, and overflow baffles 26 are inserted into the limit grooves 25. After the overflow baffles 26 are inserted into the limit grooves 25, water is stored in the water storage tray 21. Once the required water level is reached, water above the overflow baffles 26 flows out through the water inlet / outlet mechanism 3, creating a water circulation system. This system also allows for cleaning of the water storage tray 21 when needed. The overflow baffle 26 can be pulled out to drain all the water inside the water storage tray 21, making it easier to clean the inside of the water storage tray 21. A planting distribution hole plate 22 is installed at the upper end of the water storage tray 21. The plants to be planted are divided and planted through the planting distribution hole plate 22, so that each plant will not stick together and can be better managed. A light control board 23 is set at the lower end of the water storage tray 21, and multiple sets of evenly distributed LED supplementary lights are welded on the lower surface of the light control board 23 to supplement the light for the plants during planting, helping the plants to carry out effective photosynthesis during growth.
[0025] The water supply and drainage mechanism 3 includes a drain pipe 32 for overflow or drainage. The surface of the drain pipe 32 has multiple sets of inlets 33 corresponding to the planting water tray 2. These inlets can receive water when the drainage channel 24 on the back end of the water storage tray 21 is inserted into the water pipe 32, so that the overflowing or discharged water can be received and prevented from flowing out. A water guide plate 34 is installed inside the inlet 33 to guide the water falling from the upper layer to the drain pipe 32 in the lower layer for use. A guide head 35 is also sleeved at the lower end of the drain pipe 32. A return water guide plate 36 is provided on the surface of the guide head 35 to transport the downward discharged water to the water storage tank 14. At the same time, the return water guide plate 36 guides the water to prevent the water flowing down too fast from flowing to other places, further preventing the problem of water leakage in the planting cabinet.
[0026] A water supply pipe 37 is also provided on one side of the drain pipe 32, which can transport water from the water storage tank 14 through a water pump. At the same time, a fixed bend 38 is connected to the upper end of the water supply pipe 37 to turn the conveying structure and avoid damage caused by long-term bending of a single pipe. One end of the fixed bend 38 is connected to the outlet pipe 39, which extends downward to the uppermost water storage pan 21 to prevent water from splashing out of the water storage pan 21 due to excessive water flow. A sealing cover 31 is also provided on the surface of the drain pipe 32 between the water inlets 33, making it more aesthetically pleasing after installation.
[0027] To ensure that water circulates continuously within all the planting water trays 2, the number of water inlets 33 is the same as the number of planting water trays 2.
[0028] To prevent water from flowing to other locations and causing leakage during the water circulation process, the water guide plate 34 is installed inside the water inlet 33 facing upwards, and the top of the water inlet 33 is not equipped with the water guide plate 34.
[0029] Meanwhile, in order to ensure that the water can be accurately delivered into the water storage pan 21 through the guide plate 34, the drain channel 24 is inserted into the water inlet 33, and the guide plate 34 is placed above the drain channel 24.
[0030] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
