Description

Diversity cultivation equipment

The new type relates to a plant cultivation equipment, in particular to a variety of cultivation equipment that can satisfy the symbiosis of hydroponics, soil cultivation and aquaponics at the same time.

With the growth of per capita GDP, the living standard of Taiwanese people has gradually improved. In terms of diet, people have progressed from eating well, eating well, and eating high quality to eating environmentally friendly. In other words, while people obtain healthy ingredients, they must also minimize the damage to the environment. In addition, as the arable area of the country is getting smaller and smaller, and the usable value of the existing arable land is also declining, how to obtain more vegetables and rice grains on the limited land resources has become a new goal of agricultural development. Therefore, various working methods and auxiliary equipment such as hydroponics and aquaponics have been continuously presented to the Chinese people in recent years. It has also become people's expectation to miniaturize these technologies and even apply them to urban life.

As far as hydroponic technology is concerned, it is common to use hydroponic boxes plus light source control (such as using LED light sources), so as to effectively and quickly cultivate plant growth. At the same time, the idle space can be properly used, and even achieve the function of beautifying the environment. If hydroponics is not used, it is also possible to place flowerpots in the hydroponics box to cultivate soil-cultivated vegetables. In conjunction with the operation of the hydroponic tank, a hydroponic board is generally used. The hydroponic plate is clamped and closed at the opening of the hydroponic box, and several through holes are opened on the surface, and the through holes can be used to place and fix the hydroponic vegetable seedlings to assist their growth. However, the hydroponic board isolates the external light, and with humidity, it is easy to cause mosquitoes to breed in the hydroponic box. In addition, the size of the general through holes is the same. If you want to change different vegetable seedlings, you need to replace the hydroponic plate, so it is difficult to cultivate different types of hydroponic vegetables in the same hydroponic box. Also due to the lack of light and oxygen, additional pumping equipment is required to carry out aquaponics in the hydroponic tank. In the event of a power outage, it is not easy for small fish to survive.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes an innovative diversity cultivation equipment, which can satisfy the diversity cultivation environment of hydroponics, soil cultivation and aquaponics at one time.

This paragraph of text extracts and compiles some features of the new model. Other features will be disclosed in subsequent paragraphs. It is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

The present invention will be described more specifically by referring to the following embodiments.

In order to effectively understand the spirit of the present invention, please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a perspective view of a diversity cultivation device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The diversity cultivation equipment 1 includes a cultivation tank 10, a cultivation plate rack 20 and several cultivation plates. For convenience of description, this embodiment takes five culture plates as an example for description, namely the first culture plate 30A, the second culture plate 30B, the third culture plate 30C, the fourth culture plate 30D and the fifth culture plate 30E. However, it should be noted that, according to the present invention, the number of culture plates is not limited, as long as it can meet the needs of the operation. The types, materials and functions of the aforementioned technical features will be described in detail below.

The culture tank 10 is a device for providing hydroponics, soil cultivation and/or aquaponics ecological water sources (including nutrients). The upper end of the culture tank 10 has an opening 11, and the inner space can accommodate the culture medium or clear water to supply the water and nutrients required for the growth of the plants. The side wall 12 respectively defines a plurality of drain holes 13 according to the height, and each drain hole 13 can be plugged with a stopper 131 . In this embodiment, four water drain holes 13 are taken as an example for description. If the drain hole 13 is blocked by the drain stopper 131 and cannot be viewed directly, the drain hole 13 is shown with a dotted line. The function of the drain hole 13 can not only discharge the excess culture liquid or clean water in the culture tank 10 , but also adjust the liquid level inside the culture tank 10 . Taking FIG. 1 as an example, when the lower three drain holes 13 are blocked by the stopper 131 and the uppermost drain hole 13 is not, the internal liquid level is maintained at the bottom of the uppermost drain hole 13, and the full water level is The culture solution or clean water added afterward will overflow from the top drain hole 13 . Similarly, the drain stopper 131 of the second drain hole 13 from the top can also be unplugged, and the internal liquid level will drop. The bottom of the lowermost drain hole 13 is flush with or slightly lower than the bottom plate of the culture tank 10 , so that all the culture liquid or clean water in the culture tank 10 can be drained for cleaning the inside of the culture tank 10 . According to the present invention, the drain holes 13 can also be respectively opened on different side walls, as long as the heights are different from each other. In this embodiment, the overall appearance of the culture tank 10 is a rectangular parallelepiped. In other embodiments, however, the appearance may vary differently depending on the particular function. In terms of materials, the material of the culture tank 10 can be styrofoam or polypropylene (Polypropylene, PP) plastic. The former has a heat preservation effect and can maintain the temperature of the culture medium or water for a long time; the latter has a harder material and is easy to handle.

The function of the culture plate rack 20 is to fix and lay the culture plate, and can distinguish several open culture plate installation areas 21 on a plane, and can be detachably installed around the opening 11 . In the present embodiment, the culture plate rack 20 is in the shape of "卄" in the top view direction, and is installed around the opening 11 with a bent end 22 around it. In practice, in order to stably overlap with the culture tank 10 , the culture plate frame 20 can also be surrounded by a covering frame, and the frame edge is concavely folded to one side to be installed around the opening 11 . In terms of material, the culture plate rack 20 needs to bear the weight of the culture plate and the hydroponic seedlings on it, so the material needs to be relatively rigid. According to the present invention, the material of the culture plate rack 20 can be aluminum alloy or stainless steel.

In FIG. 1 , in order to highlight the culture plate and distinguish the difference from the peripheral opening 11 and the culture plate rack 20 , the periphery of the culture plate is drawn with thicker lines. In this example, each culture plate is square. According to the design of the culture plate rack 20 , the shape of the culture plate can also be a rectangle, so that it is easy to overlap with the culture plate rack 20 and/or the side wall of the culture tank 10 . At least one opening 31 is formed on each culture plate, and the opening 31 can temporarily fix the hydroponic seedlings or allow flower pots to be placed therein. Each culture plate is laid in a culture plate installation area 21 . Please refer to FIG. 1 , the first culture plate 30A has a large opening 31 in the center, in which a soil-cultivation flowerpot can be placed. The second culture plate 30B is provided with six smaller openings 31 in an array manner, which can accommodate hydroponic seedlings. The size of the opening 31 for accommodating the hydroponic seedlings can be designed according to the cross-sectional width of the hydroponic seedlings of different varieties and their cultivation dishes, which is not limited in the present invention. On one side of the second culture plate 30B, there is a culture plate installation area 21 where no culture plate is placed, so that the liquid surface in the culture tank 10 can be directly contacted with the outside air, which further allows the culture medium or clean water to have an opportunity to increase the amount of dissolved oxygen . If necessary, an aerator 2 can be installed to forcibly increase the amount of dissolved oxygen in the culture medium or fresh water. Also because of the increased light transmittance and dissolved oxygen, fish can be raised in the culture tank 1 to maintain an aquaponics ecosystem. Like the second culture plate 30B, the third culture plate 30C has six smaller openings 31 , and the golden kudzu is placed in the openings 31 and allowed to grow, which can be used to green the environment. The fourth culture plate 30D has four openings 31 . Insert the lettuce seedlings with a culture dish (or surrounded by sponges) into the openings 31 of the fourth culture plate 30D, and the lettuce seedlings will grow gradually. When the lettuce seedlings grow up and can be harvested, the cultivating dish is directly pulled out from the opening 31, and the lettuce can be taken, and then a new batch of lettuce with the cultivating dish is inserted into the opening 31 of the fourth culture plate 30D. , it can complete the hydroponic cycle. Like the first culture plate 30A, the fifth culture plate 30E has a large opening 31 in the center, in which soil cultivated plants (such as radishes) are cultivated. For a clearer description of the soil tillage method, please refer to FIG. 2 , which illustrates the use of the fifth culture plate 30E. Figure 2 is a sectional view. The radish soil is cultivated in the flowerpot 3, and the bottom of the flowerpot 3 is put into the culture tank 10 through the opening 31 of the fifth culture plate 30E. The opening 31 only regulates the position of the flower pot 3 and does not accept the flower pot 3 . If the flower pot 3 is too short and will fall under the opening 31, a spacer 4 can be added to the bottom of the flower pot 3 to increase the height. Since the bottom or side of the flowerpot 3 has openings (not shown), the water level in the flowerpot 3 can be kept at the same level as the liquid level in the culture tank 10 . Considering that the roots of soil-cultivating plants need to have a certain amount of air, they cannot all be soaked in water. Therefore, the height of the liquid level in the culture tank 10 can be manipulated through the drain hole 13 , thereby regulating the water level in the flowerpot 3 .

In terms of material, the material of the culture plate can be plastic or metal, which is convenient for production and installation. Since the culture plate is laid on the culture plate rack 20 and/or the upper end of the side wall of the culture tank 10 (in other embodiments, it may be completely laid on the culture plate rack 20 ), the detailed structure of the laying will be described below. Please refer to Figure 3, which is a cross-sectional view along the section of Figure 1AA'. The culture plate rack 20 around the culture plate installation area 21 (indicated by a solid circular line in FIG. 3 , and its enlarged view is shown in the upper right circular dotted line) and/or the upper end of the side wall of the culture tank 10 is formed with a clamping recess. The groove G, the second culture plate 30B and the fourth culture plate 30D can be temporarily laid in the clamping grooves G.

Just relying on the clamping groove G, the culture plate may not be laid very smoothly. Therefore, the present invention also has the following designs. The fixed structure is shown in the dotted line at the upper left of FIG. 3 , and this structure can be designed for the element having the clamping groove G at the same time. Several fixing recesses G1 are formed in the clamping groove G, and several fixing bumps G2 are formed corresponding to the positions of the fixing recesses G1 when the culture plate is laid. The fixing bumps G2 are respectively inserted into the corresponding fixing recesses G1 , so that the culture plate is closely fixed with the culture plate rack 20 and/or the side wall of the culture tank 10 around the culture plate installation area 21 . Correspondingly, the arrangement of the fixing recesses and the fixing bumps may also be reversed. That is, a plurality of fixed convex points are formed in the clamping groove G, and a plurality of fixed concave holes are formed corresponding to the positions of the fixed convex points when the culture plate is laid. The fixing bumps are respectively inserted into the corresponding fixing holes, so that the culture plate is closely fixed with the culture plate rack 20 and/or the side wall of the culture tank 10 around the culture plate installation area 21 .

The number and position of the culture plate mounting areas 21 can be designed differently, which involves the shape of the culture plate rack 20 . Regarding this, please refer to FIG. 4 and the related description below. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of two kinds of culture plate racks in the top view direction. The culture plate rack 20 on the left has nine culture plate mounting areas 21, which can be used to lay a square culture plate respectively. In this example, the culture plates are all laid on the culture plate rack 20 and do not touch the culture tank 10 . The culture plate rack 20 on the right side of FIG. 4 has three culture plate installation areas 21 , but the culture plate installation areas 21 are rectangular, which means that the corresponding culture plates are also rectangular.

Please refer to FIG. 5 , which illustrates a cross-sectional view of the culture tank 10 and a stacking manner thereof in another embodiment. In FIG. 5 , the side wall of the culture tank 10 is inclined to form a tapered appearance from top to bottom, which is convenient for stacking and transportation of a plurality of culture tanks 10 .

According to the present invention, the shape of the opening is not limited to the aforementioned square and rectangle, and can also be formed into a circle, an ellipse or a regular hexagon according to design requirements. Take the example of a circular opening, which affects the appearance of the plate rack and plate. Please refer to FIG. 6 , which illustrates the state of the culture plate rack 20 and the corresponding culture plate 30 in another embodiment. As can be seen from FIG. 6 , the periphery of the culture plate holder 20 is a circle, which is used for socketing the circular opening. The culture plate rack 20 has four culture plate installation areas 21, and the appearance of each culture plate installation area 21 is a 1/4 circle. Therefore, the appearance of the culture plate 30 laid on the culture plate installation area 21 is also 1/4 circle. Similarly, the arrangement of the openings 31 on the culture plate 30 can also be diverse, including shapes, positions and arrangements.

Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone with ordinary knowledge in the technical field can make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, The scope of protection of this new model shall be determined by the scope of the appended patent application.
