Abstract

A vegetable carrying box includes a solution carrying box provided with a high-level liquid inlet and a low-level liquid outlet that are opposite to each other, where an area between the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet in the solution carrying box is provided with protruding diversion partitions to form a zigzag flow passage, and an atomizer is disposed in the flow passage.

Claims (21)

1. A vegetable carrying box, comprising a solution carrying box comprising:

a bottom and four side walls vertically extending from a periphery of the bottom;

a high-level liquid inlet formed on one side wall of the four side walls and located distally to the bottom and a low-level liquid outlet formed on said one side wall of the four side walls and located proximately to the bottom, wherein both axes of the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet are parallel to each other and parallel to the bottom;

protruding diversion partitions space-apart formed on the bottom, wherein an area, which is between the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet, in the solution carrying box is provided with the protruding diversion partitions to form a zigzag flow passage;

an atomizer disposed on the bottom in the flow passage, wherein the atomizer is an ultrasonic atomizer;

a first water swivel is pluggingly connected to the liquid inlet for supplying a nutrient solution to the solution carrying box, and a second water swivel is pluggingly connected to the liquid output, wherein the first water swivel comprises a steel-core joint and a flexible material layer that is wrapped around the steel-core joint, the steel-core joint comprises a circular truncated cone section and a circular tube section that is connected to a small diameter end of the circular truncated cone section, and a conical surface of the circular truncated cone section faces to the inside of the solution carrying box; and

a first solenoid valve connected to the steel-core joint of the first water swivel, and a second solenoid valve disposed in the solution carrying case and connected to the liquid outlet, wherein the first solenoid valve is configured to prevent the nutrient solution from leaking when the first water swivel is plugged out from the liquid inlet, and the second solenoid valve is configured to prevent the nutrient solution in the solution carrying case from flowing out when the solution carrying case is pulled out from a vegetable growing case.

2. The vegetable carrying box according to claim 1 , wherein an atomizer cover plate is disposed above the atomizer.

3. The vegetable carrying box according to claim 2 , wherein the atomizer cover plate comprises a top plate, wherein two sides of the top plate are connected to a supporting plate that bends downward, and a lower end of the supporting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the solution carrying box.

4. The vegetable carrying box according to claim 1 , wherein the protruding diversion partitions are arranged side by side in the solution carrying box, and every two adjacent protruding diversion partitions are disposed separately at two sides of the solution carrying box.

5. The vegetable carrying box according to claim 4 , wherein the protruding diversion partitions are parallel to each other.

6. The vegetable carrying box according to claim 5 , wherein every two adjacent diversion partitions have an overlapping portion in a projection direction perpendicular to the diversion partitions.

7. The vegetable carrying box according to claim 1 , wherein the protruding diversion partitions are strip plates vertically disposed on the bottom.

8. The vegetable carrying box according to claim 1 , wherein the atomizer is located at a middle part of the solution carrying box.

9. The vegetable carrying box according to claim 1 , wherein the vegetable carrying box further comprises a vegetable shelf disposed above the solution carrying box, and the vegetable shelf is disposed overhead relative to the top of the flow passage.

10. The vegetable carrying box according to claim 9 , further comprising through holes being formed on the vegetable shelf.

11. The vegetable carrying box according to claim 10 , wherein at least one pluggable hole plug is correspondingly disposed inside at least one of the through holes.

12. The vegetable carrying box according to claim 10 , wherein the vegetable shelf has multiple through hole arranging areas, each of the through hole arranging areas has a cross-shaped rib, the cross-shaped rib delimits the through hole arranging area into four quadrant areas, and each quadrant in the four quadrant areas is provided with one through hole.

13. The vegetable carrying box according to claim 1 , wherein the vegetable carrying box further comprises an illumination component disposed below the solution carrying box.

14. The vegetable carrying box according to claim 13 , wherein the illumination component comprises a light source and a light guide plate disposed on a light emergent path of the light source.

15. The vegetable carrying box according to claim 14 , wherein the light source comprises: multiple groups of linear light sources symmetrically disposed on two sides of the light guide plate.
