Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ornamental plant cultivation equipment, and in particular to an ornamental plant hydroponic propagation rack with automatic water replenishment function. Background Technology

[0002] Hydroponics, a cultivation method employing modern bioengineering technology, utilizes physical, chemical, and biological engineering techniques to acclimate common and ornamental plants to long-term growth in water, making it a new generation of high-tech agricultural projects. During hydroponics, a stable and suitable aquatic environment is crucial for ornamental plants. However, current common hydroponic propagation racks have several problems. For example, as the ornamental plants continuously absorb water from the container, regular manual watering is necessary. This is not only labor-intensive but also difficult to control in terms of water volume and timing, leading to an unstable growth environment and affecting the propagation and growth of the plants. Therefore, developing an automatically watering hydroponic propagation rack for ornamental plants is of significant practical importance. Utility Model Content

[0015] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0017] Example like Figure 1-4 As shown, a hydroponic propagation rack for ornamental plants with automatic water replenishment function includes a frame 7 made of stainless steel square tubing. The bottom of the frame 7 is equipped with casters 6, allowing it to be easily moved to different positions. This facilitates adjusting the placement of ornamental plants according to changes in environmental factors such as light and temperature, meeting the environmental requirements for plant growth. The frame 7 has a stepped structure, with each step having a support platform 5. Hydroponic containers 4 are placed on the support platforms 5, and planting baskets 8 are placed on top of the hydroponic containers 4. A water storage tank 1 is located at the top of the frame 7, and a first control valve 9 is installed on the water storage tank 1. One end of the first control valve 9 is connected to a water replenishment pipe, and the other end is connected to the water storage tank 1 via a connector. One side of the water storage tank 1 is connected to the hydroponic containers 4 via a water supply pipe 2, and each branch of the water supply pipe 2 is equipped with a second control valve 13.

[0018] The hydroponic container 4 is made of transparent plastic and is square in shape, making it easy to observe the water level and the growth of the plant roots. The top opening edge of the hydroponic container 4 has an outwardly folded flange, and the planting basket 8 is set on the flange through the basket edge. A root support net 14 is set inside the hydroponic container 4. The root support net 14 is made of plastic and is mesh-shaped. It is fixed in the middle of the hydroponic container 4 to support the roots of the plant, allowing the roots to spread naturally in the water, while preventing the roots from accumulating at the bottom of the container and affecting growth.

[0019] The planting basket 8 is made of plastic mesh, with evenly distributed mesh holes on its bottom and sides, which is conducive to the aeration of the roots of ornamental plants and the absorption of water and nutrients.

[0020] The first control valve 9 includes a pipe body 15 fixedly mounted on the water storage tank 1. A sealing element 10 is slidably mounted inside the pipe body 15. The sealing element 10 is made of rubber. When the sealing element 10 moves upward along the pipe body 15, it can block the water supply pipe. A connecting rod 11 is fixedly mounted below the sealing element 10. A float 12 is connected below the connecting rod 11. The float 12 is a hollow plastic plate. The connecting rod 11 is threadedly connected to the float 12. The float 12 rises and falls with the liquid level in the water tank 1. When the liquid level in the water tank 1 decreases, the float 12 descends, pulling the connecting rod 11 downwards. This, in turn, drives the seal 10 at the other end of the connecting rod 11 to move downwards along the pipe body 15, releasing the blockage of the water supply pipe, allowing the water supply pipe to replenish water to the water tank 1. When the liquid level in the water tank 1 rises to a specified height, the float 12 rises, driving the connecting rod 11 upwards. This, in turn, drives the seal 10 to move upwards along the pipe body 15, blocking the water supply pipe and stopping the water supply. The structure and control principle of the first control valve 9 and the second control valve 13 are the same.

[0021] A connecting frame 3 is provided on one side of the support platform 5. One end of the connecting frame 3 is connected to the support platform 5 by bolts, and the other end of the support frame is also connected to the water supply pipe 2 by bolts to prevent the water supply pipe 2 from shifting position due to the buoyancy of the floating part 12.

[0022] Ornamental plants intended for hydroponic propagation are placed in planting basket 8. The roots of the plants extend into the water in hydroponic container 4 through the mesh openings at the bottom and sides of planting basket 8. As the plants grow, they continuously draw water from hydroponic container 4, causing the water level to drop. The float 12 then descends, pulling the connecting rod 11, which in turn moves the sealing element 10 downwards, opening the water supply pipe 2. Water from the storage tank 1 flows into hydroponic container 4 through the water supply pipe 2 to replenish the water supply. When the water level rises to a designated height, the float 12 rises, and the connecting rod 11 moves the sealing element 10 upwards, closing the water supply pipe 2 and stopping water replenishment.

[0023] During use, regularly check the connections of all components for looseness, and tighten them promptly if any are found to be loose. Clean the water storage tank 1, hydroponic container 4, water supply pipe 2, and other components periodically to prevent impurities and algae from affecting the growth of ornamental plants. Regularly check the working status of the float 12, connecting rod 11, and sealing component 10 to ensure the automatic water replenishment function is operating normally.

[0024] Therefore, this utility model provides a hydroponic propagation rack for ornamental plants with an automatic water replenishment function, which solves the problem of unstable growth environment of ornamental plants caused by the need for regular manual water replenishment in existing hydroponic propagation racks, and realizes automatic water replenishment to provide a stable and suitable growth environment for ornamental plants.

[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solution of this utility model, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solution to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
