Cultivation Containers/Units: These are the spaces for plant root growth and substrate support, and can be categorized into various types based on their form.
Trough Cultivation System: Long, narrow cultivation troughs (up to 20-30 meters in length) are constructed using materials such as cement, bamboo, or plastic. An impermeable membrane is laid inside the trough before the substrate is loaded. This is currently the most widely used method.
Bag Cultivation System: Uses aging-resistant black film bags, available in single-tube (30-35 cm in diameter) and pillow-type (70 cm in length) bags, loading 10-15 liters and 20-30 liters of substrate respectively. Suitable for space-constrained environments.
Rockwool Cultivation: Uses rockwool blocks (commonly 7.5 cm³) as the substrate and cultivation medium. Commonly used for factory seedling production and high-value-added crop production. Vertical Cultivation Structures: These include columnar, pipe-based, wall-mounted, and shelf-style structures (such as "H-shaped" and "A-shaped" structures). Vertical layering significantly improves space utilization; cultivation racks can reach heights of 0.75-7 meters.
Nutrient Solution Supply System: Responsible for precisely delivering nutrient solution or water to the plant roots.
Nutrient Solution Circulation System: Utilizes solution tanks, pipes, drip irrigation, or fine-flow irrigation equipment to achieve timed and quantitative supply of nutrient solution. In organic ecological systems, organic solid fertilizer is applied directly to the substrate surface as topdressing.
Aeroponic System: Nutrient solution is compressed into a mist and sprayed directly onto the suspended plant roots, achieving simultaneous supply of nutrients and oxygen.
Hydrological System: Plant roots are directly immersed in the nutrient solution, requiring no substrate.
Connection and Support Components: Used to ensure the stability of the system structure and modular expansion.
A magnetic support structure and flexible clamps, among other mechanized connection methods, ensure a stable connection between cultivation units, effectively solving the problem of tipping over in traditional systems.
The support structure typically includes components such as oscillating balls, magnetic blocks, and horizontal axes to enhance overall stability.
