[Effects of the Invention]

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0015] In the present invention, the fixed push block on the culture tank can move along the central axis of the pull-out track, and the two pull-out tracks effectively limit the movement trajectory of the culture tank to prevent the culture tank from being tilted. As a result, the culture tank can be pulled out of the seedling support structure or pushed into the seedling support structure. Due to the coordination between the culture tank and various positions of the nozzles, there is no need to stop the circulation of the culture solution during planting or harvesting, which improves the convenience of planting.

[0016] The present invention uses multiple LED grow lamps to effectively provide plants with the lighting conditions necessary for plant growth, thereby increasing the light coverage area, improving plant growth efficiency, and shortening the plant growth cycle.

[0017] In the present invention, when the culture tank is pushed into the seedling support structure, it matches the planting plates of the culture tank and the through-holes of the culture tank, and cooperates with several planting plates to provide several plant positions for the plants, maximizing the planting area, thereby improving the cultivation efficiency and shortening the plant growth cycle.

[0018] By the action of the liquid supply pump, the culture solution in the liquid supply tank can be introduced into the inside of the branch pipe along the pump liquid pipe, the culture solution can be divided into the inside of the fixed pipe, and the culture solution can be sprayed using the spray nozzle of the spray pipe. By using the fixed bracket sheet to limit the position of the nozzle, the spray nozzle can provide the spray solution to plants to support their growth, and the culture solution can be flowed along the culture tank into the planting holes of the planting plate, and the culture solution can be used to promote plant growth. The remaining culture solution can flow out through the drainage holes inside the culture tank, then return to the inside of the return main pipe through several return inclined pipes, and then be led into the inside of the liquid supply tank, realizing a recirculation flow of the culture solution.

[0019] Using the present invention, the temperature sensor and humidity sensor can detect changes in the temperature and humidity of the seedling support structure, and send the detected data back to the microcontroller chip. The microcontroller chip controls the liquid supply pump through the PLC controller, and cooperates with the water pressure sensor to control the spray nozzle's injection pressure. The water level pressure sensor detects the water level inside the liquid supply tank, and the detected water level pressure data can be reused by the microcontroller chip. When the pressure is lower than the preset water level, the microcontroller chip controls the warning light to light up, operates the buzzer alarm to remind the user to refill the liquid inside the liquid supply tank, and uses the smoke alarm to detect whether there is a fire, improving planting safety.
