[0025] In order to facilitate the sliding opening or closing of the planting box 102 by means of the support sliding assembly, in this embodiment, preferably, the support sliding assembly includes support groove plates 1011 that are fixedly installed at equal intervals on both sides inside the main cabinet 101. Both sides of the lower surface of the planting box 102 are integrally provided with support clip plates 1012 that engage with the inside of the support groove plates 1011. The planting box 102 can be installed by engaging the support clip plates 1012 inside the support groove plates 1011, which facilitates engagement, installation and removal.

[0026] In order to facilitate the adjustment of the thin steel wire 1019 and the limiting plate 1015 by means of the toggle adjustment assembly, in this embodiment, preferably, the toggle adjustment assembly includes a fixed horizontal plate 1013 fixedly installed between the ends of the two support groove plates 1011, and a toggle plate 1014 is installed at the middle position of the lower surface of the fixed horizontal plate 1013 via a rotating shaft, so that the thin steel wire 1019 and the limiting plate 1015 can be adjusted by hand using the toggle plate 1014.

[0027] In order to facilitate the elastic connection and tight installation of the limiting plate 1015 by means of the elastic clamping assembly, in this embodiment, preferably, the elastic clamping assembly includes a limiting groove 1017 opened in the middle position inside the fixed horizontal plate 1013. Both ends of the limiting groove 1017 are penetrated by thin steel wires 1019. The bottom end of the thin steel wires 1019 is fixed to the upper surface of the actuating plate 1014 by bolts. A compression spring 1018 is fitted on the outer surface of the thin steel wires 1019. The deformation of the compression spring 1018 can drive the thin steel wires 1019 to elastically connect with the limiting plate 1015.

[0028] In order to facilitate the clamping and securing of the planting box 102 after installation, in this embodiment, preferably, the clamping and securing assembly includes a limiting plate 1015 that is positioned at the top of the limiting groove 1017. The top of the thin steel wire 1019 is fixed to the lower surface of the limiting plate 1015 by bolts. The lower surface of the planting box 102 is provided with a slot 1016 that engages with the limiting plate 1015. After the planting box 102 is installed, the limiting plate 1015 can be elastically engaged in the slot 1016 to clamp and secure the planting box 102.

[0029] The upper surface of the planting box 102 is provided with anti-loosening fastening mechanisms at equal intervals. The anti-loosening fastening mechanisms include anti-loosening fastening components provided on the upper surface of the planting box 102. After the plants are planted inside the planting box 102, the anti-loosening fastening mechanisms can easily apply slight pressure to the plants to prevent them from loosening, and the pressure will not damage the plants.

[0030] To facilitate slight compression of the planted plants inside the planting box 102 and prevent instability through the anti-loosening fastening component, in this embodiment, preferably, the anti-loosening fastening component includes an internally threaded placement ring 1021 integrally disposed at equal intervals on the upper surface of the planting box 102. An elastic rubber ring 1023 is installed inside the internally threaded placement ring 1021 for limiting. An externally threaded pressure ring 1022 is rotated around the surface of the elastic rubber ring 1023 at the inner edge of the internally threaded placement ring 1021. The lower surface of the externally threaded pressure ring 1022 is provided with engagement teeth, and the upper surface of the externally threaded pressure ring 1022 is provided with equidistant ball 1024. After the elastic rubber ring 1023 is limited and closed inside the internally threaded placement ring 1021, the externally threaded pressure ring 1022 is rotated to press and fix the elastic rubber ring 1023, facilitating compression and allowing slight compression control of the planted plants inside the elastic rubber ring 1023.

[0031] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: When using this multi-layer hydroponic water circulation planting cabinet, firstly, the elastic rubber ring 1023 is closed inside the inner threaded placement ring 1021. The hand-held ball 1024 drives the outer threaded pressure ring 1022 to rotate and press against the surface of the elastic rubber ring 1023 inside the inner threaded placement ring 1021 to fix it. After fixing, the plant is planted inside the planting box 102 from the outside. After the plant roots extend through the inside of the elastic rubber ring 1023 into the planting box 102, the elastic rubber ring 1023 deforms to press and reinforce the roots. This makes it easy to control the plant within a certain space during planting, preventing it from shaking. Moreover, the pressure of the elastic rubber ring 1023 on the surface of the roots during pressing is not stressed and will not cause damage, thereby improving the stability of the pressure control of the plant when planting inside the planting box 102.

[0032] After the planting box 102 is placed in the outside for planting, the lever plate 1014 is moved to retract the limiting plate 1015 through the thin steel wire 1019. The planting box 102 is then locked in place inside the main cabinet 101 by the engagement of the support plate 1012 and the support groove plate 1011. The lever plate 1014 is then released, and the deformation of the compression spring 1018 causes the limiting plate 1015 to engage in the slot 1016, thus reinforcing the installation of the planting box 102. This design facilitates installation after planting in the outside, provides ample space, and allows for easy removal and opening by reverse operation. Therefore, it is convenient to take out and put in the planting box 102, and it is also convenient to pull the planting box 102 to open it for external access and to observe its growth status. This improves the convenience of taking out and putting in the planting box 102 during the use of the water circulation planting cabinet.

[0033] Finally, after the planting box 102 is fixedly installed inside the main cabinet 101, the flexible corrugated pipe at the end of the liquid inlet pipe 106 and the corrugated pipe at the end of the return pipe 107 are threaded onto the surface of the planting box 102. They can be removed and placed again without disassembly. The box can be opened by telescopic operation, and the prepared nutrient solution is added inside the planting box 102. At the same time, the circulation pump 104 is powered on and draws the nutrient solution from the storage tank 108 through the extraction pipe 105 and puts it into the liquid inlet pipe 106 until it enters the planting box 102. While the nutrient solution is entering the planting box 102, it flows back into the storage tank 108 through the discharge outlet into the return pipe 107. This facilitates circulation.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described (see the detailed description above), it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
