Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Anoectochilus roxburghii cultivation technology, specifically an Anoectochilus roxburghii cultivation box with automatic spraying function. Background Technology

[0002] Golden Thread Orchid, a precious traditional Chinese medicine, has extremely high medicinal value and broad market prospects. Due to its increasingly scarce wild resources, artificial cultivation has become the main way to meet market demand; however, Golden Thread Orchid has extremely demanding requirements for its growing environment, preferring a cool, humid, well-ventilated, and well-drained environment with diffused light, which poses many challenges to its large-scale and standardized cultivation.

[0003] Currently, the cultivation of *Anoectochilus roxburghii* mainly employs traditional open-field shade cultivation or ordinary indoor facility cultivation. However, these methods present several problems in practice: First, regarding light management, whether in fixed shade structures or indoor pots, the plants remain stationary. This leads to significant differences in light intensity and duration received by plants in different locations, easily resulting in uneven growth and stem bending due to phototropism, severely impacting product uniformity and commercial value. While the position can be adjusted by manually moving the pots, this method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it's difficult to achieve precise and uniform light management. Second, in terms of water and humidity management, traditional methods rely heavily on manual spraying or simple fixed sprinkler systems. Manual spraying is inefficient, humidity control is unstable, and it's difficult to ensure even watering for each plant. Fixed sprinklers cannot reach pots in different locations within a three-dimensional space, easily creating spray dead zones, leading to localized over-wetting or drought. Furthermore, poor drainage at the bottom of the cultivation container can easily cause water accumulation, leading to root rot and cultivation failure. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a Golden Thread Orchid cultivation box with automatic spraying function, which can achieve uniform light and spraying and improve planting quality.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a cultivation box for *Anoectochilus roxburghii* with automatic spraying function, comprising a box body, a rotating shaft rotatably provided in the middle of the box body, four planting boxes located at different positions and heights on the surface of the rotating shaft, the bottom of the planting boxes tapering inward to form steps, a support net provided above the steps, a drain pipe provided at the bottom of the planting boxes, a transparent box cover hinged to the top of the box body, a light-shielding plate and a sun-shielding plate slidably provided on one side of the box cover, a sun-shielding net provided inside the sun-shielding plate, a spray pipe fixedly provided on the top of one side of the box body, several atomizing nozzles provided at the bottom of the spray pipe, and a box door hinged to the front of the box body.

[0013] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. By driving the rotating shaft and planting boxes set at different heights through the drive motor, the plant can be rotated slowly, so that all the golden thread lotus plants in the box can receive light periodically and evenly. This completely solves the problems of uneven light exposure, bent growth and inconsistent quality caused by fixed orientation. At the same time, the light-blocking plate that slides on the box lid and the sun-blocking plate with built-in shade netting allow users to precisely adjust the light intensity and light quality according to the needs of different growth stages of golden thread lotus, perfectly simulating its original shaded environment, promoting healthy growth and accumulation of effective ingredients. 2. Through the coordinated operation of water pumps, water tanks, spray pipes and atomizing nozzles, automated irrigation of the cultivation process is achieved. The atomizing nozzles produce fine water mist, which, combined with the rotation of the planting box, ensures that the leaves and cultivation substrate of each Anoectochilus roxburghii plant are evenly and gently moistened. This greatly improves the utilization efficiency of water resources and nutrient solution, significantly reduces the manual input of daily management, and avoids the problems of uneven rinsing or local water accumulation that may be caused by manual spraying. 3. The bottom of the planting box is equipped with a support net and a drainage pipe to facilitate the rapid drainage of excess water. The inclined guide seat at the bottom of the box works in conjunction with the drainage pipe to quickly collect and discharge wastewater outside the box, ensuring that there is no water accumulation inside. This maintains a well-drained and aerated environment for the roots, fundamentally preventing the root rot of Anoectochilus roxburghii caused by water accumulation at the bottom of the pot, significantly reducing the incidence of disease and improving the survival rate. 4. The three-dimensional rotating layout arranges multiple planting boxes in a staggered manner in vertical space, maximizing the number of plants within a limited area, making it particularly suitable for home, laboratory or intensive production.

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments thereof.

[0017] Please see Figures 1-7 In this embodiment of the utility model, a cultivation box for *Anoectochilus roxburghii* with an automatic spraying function includes a box body 1; support legs 101 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the box body 1 to stably support the entire device; a box door 107 is hinged to the front of the box body 1, and an observation window (such as transparent glass or acrylic plate) is embedded on the surface of the box door 107 to facilitate observation of the growth status of *Anoectochilus roxburghii* inside the box; the box door 107 is preferably closed and locked to the box body 1 by a buckle, which is easy to operate and has good sealing performance; ventilation slots 108 are opened on the top of both sides of the box body 1 for air circulation and to prevent the growth of pathogens; A transparent lid 102 is hinged to the top of the box body 1. The lid 102 can be made of transparent glass or plastic to ensure sufficient light. Two parallel sliding grooves 103 are formed inside the lid 102, and each sliding groove 103 has sliding grooves on both sides. A light-shielding plate 104 is slidably installed in one sliding groove 103, and a sunshade 105 is slidably installed in the other sliding groove 103. The light-shielding plate 104 is an opaque material used when complete shading is required. The sunshade 105 is inlaid with… A sunshade net 106 is embedded for use when it is necessary to reduce the intensity of light; both sides of the sunshade plate 104 and the sunshade plate 105 are fixed with slide rails that slide in cooperation with the slide groove, which can be opened and closed by pulling to flexibly adjust the light intensity; a handle is fixedly installed on the top of the box cover 102 for easy opening; in order to further ensure the airtightness of the box body 1, magnetic adsorption strips (not shown in the figure) are embedded on the top side of the box body 1 and the bottom of the box cover 102 respectively, which can adhere tightly when the box cover 102 is closed.

[0018] A rotating shaft 2 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the housing 1 via a bearing (not shown in the figure); a chassis 207 is fixed at the bottom of the housing 1, and a drive motor 209 is fixedly mounted inside the chassis 207 via a motor frame 208; the drive shaft of the drive motor 209 is connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 2 via a coupling, and is used to drive the rotating shaft 2 to rotate slowly intermittently or continuously.

[0019] On the surface of the rotating shaft 2, four mounting rings 201 of different heights are fixedly fitted from top to bottom; each mounting ring 201 is fixedly connected to a mounting bracket 202 on its side, and the mounting bracket 202 is detachably fixedly connected to the side of a planting box 204 by mounting bolts 203; this structure allows the four planting boxes 204 to be located in different positions and at different heights, which can make full use of the three-dimensional space inside the box and ensure that each planting box 204 can receive light and spray evenly.

[0020] Each planting box 204 is designed with its bottom tapering inwards to form a stepped structure. A support net 205 is laid on top of the steps to support the cultivation substrate (such as moss, bark mixture, etc.) and the Anoectochilus roxburghii plant, while allowing excess water to seep down. A drain pipe 206 is connected to the center or side of the bottom of the planting box 204 to drain excess water and prevent waterlogging and root rot.

[0021] At the bottom of the box 1, a flow guide seat 109 tilted to one side is fixedly installed. The flow guide seat 109 is used to receive excess water, nutrient solution, etc. dripping or discharged from each planting box 204 and guide it to the bottom of one side of the box 1. A drain pipe 1010 corresponding to the lowest point of the flow guide seat 109 is fixedly installed at the bottom of this side of the box 1. A control valve is installed on the surface of the drain pipe 1010 to facilitate the periodic cleaning of the liquid accumulated in the box.

[0022] To achieve automatic spraying, a spray pipe 4 is fixedly installed on the top of one side of the box 1. Several atomizing nozzles 401 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the spray pipe 4. The spray range of the atomizing nozzles 401 should be able to cover all planting boxes 204 on the rotation path. A water tank 3 is also fixedly installed on the outside of this side of the box 1. A water inlet pipe 301 with a control valve is fixedly connected to the top of one side of the water tank 3 for replenishing water or nutrient solution. A water outlet pipe 302 with a control valve is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the water tank 3 for discharging or replacing the liquid in the tank. A liquid level window (such as a transparent graduated tube) is also provided on the side of the water tank 3 for easy observation of the water level. A water pump 303 is fixedly installed at the top of the water tank 3. A water suction pipe 304 is connected to the water inlet of the water pump 303. The bottom end of the water suction pipe 304 extends to the bottom of the water tank 3. The water outlet of the water pump 303 is connected to the end of the spray pipe 4 through a connecting pipe 305.

[0023] During use, *Anoectochilus roxburghii* (Golden Thread Orchid) has different requirements for light intensity and quality at different growth stages. This invention achieves precise control through the light-shielding plate 104 and sun-shading plate 105 on the box cover 102. When full shading is needed (such as to promote the accumulation of certain specific components), the light-shielding plate 104 can be fully pulled out; when direct sunlight needs to be avoided and diffused light cultivation is required, the sun-shading plate 105 with the built-in shade net 106 can be pulled out. Users can flexibly select or combine these methods according to ambient light and growth needs to simulate its native shady environment. Starting the drive motor 209 causes the rotating shaft 2 to rotate slowly and intermittently via the transmission shaft. The four planting boxes 204 fixed on the rotating shaft 2 at different heights and orientations rotate synchronously. This design... Breaking the limitations of traditional static cultivation, this method allows each plant of *Anoectochilus roxburghii* in each planting box 204 to periodically pass through the area with the best light within the box. This ensures uniformity in the duration and intensity of light exposure for all plants, effectively preventing problems such as bent growth due to phototropism or uneven growth due to fixed shading, and significantly improving the consistency of cultivation quality. When spraying is required, the water pump 303 starts, drawing clean water or pre-prepared nutrient solution from the bottom of the water tank 3 through the water pipe 304. The liquid is then pumped through the connecting water pipe 305 into the spray pipe 4 fixed at the top of the box 1, and finally passes through the evenly distributed atomizing nozzles 401 at its bottom. The spray forms a fine, even mist. Because the planting box 204 is slowly rotating, the mist covers the entire surface area of ​​the planting box 204 and the plant leaves without any blind spots, achieving excellent uniform irrigation and foliar moisturizing effects, perfectly simulating the humid, misty environment that *Anoectochilus roxburghii* (a type of orchid) prefers. Excess water after spraying, along with residual water from daily watering, penetrates the cultivation substrate inside the planting box 204, is filtered by the support net 205, and is discharged through the drain pipe 206 at the bottom of the box. This wastewater drips onto the side-sloping guide seat 109 at the bottom of the box 1. The sloping design allows the wastewater to automatically collect at the lowest point and ultimately pass through a... The drain pipe 1010 of the control valve discharges water out of the box, effectively preventing water accumulation inside the box and maintaining a well-drained and breathable environment for the roots, thus fundamentally preventing the risk of root rot caused by waterlogging in *Anoectochilus roxburghii*. Users can check the growth status and humidity of *Anoectochilus roxburghii* inside the box at any time through the observation window on the box door 107, without frequently opening the box and disturbing the stable environment. The ventilation slots 108 on both sides of the box body 1 form an air circulation channel, preventing the growth of mold and pests in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment. The liquid level window on the side of the water tank 3 allows users to intuitively understand the water level and replenish water in time through the water inlet pipe 301. When it is necessary to clean the water tank 3, the water can be drained through the water outlet pipe 302 at the bottom.
