Abstract

The present invention is to provide a hydroponic device for liquid supply, which includes a plate, a bottle and a pump. The plate has an open space for filing liquid therein, and a diversion panel is mounted in the open space to separate a first flume, a second flume and a connection set. The bottle pours the liquid (e.g. culture solution) slowly into the plate via breaking through the surface tension of water. The motor is connected to the second flume and the connection set to pump the liquid, and the first flume introduces the liquid into the second flume through the connection set, to form a circulating fluid loop. As such, the present invention achieves the purposes of reducing the losses of water and nutrient for hydroponic culture such that the liquid can be utilized repeatedly via flowing through the circulating loop to accelerate the growing of plants.

Dependent claims

A hydroponic device for liquid supply, comprising:

a plate, having an open space for filling liquid therein, and comprising:
a first flume;
a second flume;
a connection set;
and
a diversion panel having a first side and a second side opposite to the first side and mounted in the open space to partition the first flume, the second flume and the connection set, wherein the first flume is disposed along the first side of the diversion panel and the second flume is disposed along the second side of the diversion panel, so as to allow liquid to flow from the first flume to the second flume through the diversion panel;
a bottle, filled with a culture solution, and having an opening head which is inserted into the division panel and attached to liquid surface to pour the culture solution slowly into the first flume;
and
a motor, mounted in the plate and coupled between the second flume and the connection set to pump the liquid, so that the liquid is driven to flow from the second flume back to the first flume through the connection set.
