Hydroponic cultivation equipment

Abstract

This product is used for hydroponic cultivation, and as shown in the reference end view D-D' showing the function of each part, multiple spherical containers are arranged vertically. Each container has a supply port at the top for supplying nutrient solution and a discharge port at the bottom for discharging the nutrient solution, and a hole for supporting the plant to be cultivated is provided on the outer surface of the upper half of each container. In addition, a pipe that also serves as a support runs through the center of the interior of each container. As shown in the reference end view showing the usage state, a plant is planted in the upper half of each container. The plant's roots are located inside the container, and the rest of the plant is planted so that it extends outside through the hole. The nutrient solution is supplied into each container through the supply port, passes through the plant's roots and their vicinity in the form of a liquid or foam, and is discharged through the discharge port. In this product, the nutrient solution may be used in a recyclable manner. Specifically, as shown in the reference end view showing the state of use, the culture medium is pumped up from the storage tank by a pump and supplied to each container through piping, and the culture medium discharged from the outlet of the upper container is supplied to the lower container, and the culture medium discharged from the outlet of the lower container is returned to the storage tank.
