Description

  The present invention relates to a capsule-type vegetable cultivation apparatus that can periodically harvest safe vegetables in a space-saving manner.

  Conventionally, hydroponic cultivation in which plants are cultivated only with water without using soil has been actively performed. This hydroponics is centered on cultivating plants in a closed greenhouse or indoors. During hydroponics in a greenhouse, variations in sunshine hours due to the season and weather affect plant growth, resulting in variations in the growth period. On the other hand, during indoor hydroponics, indoor lighting time is replaced by sunshine hours, so variation in the growth period is reduced. However, in either hydroponics, when the hydroponics cultivation floors are arranged on one side, a wide space is necessary, and the cultivation place is limited.

  On the other hand, as an apparatus capable of cultivating plants in a space-saving manner, cultivation is performed by rotating a rotating drum 901 on which a perforated plate 906 for sowing seeds of vegetables as shown in FIG. An apparatus 900 has been developed (see Patent Document 1). This cultivation apparatus 900 has a structure in which a cylindrical sprinkling pipe 911 is arranged at the center portion of a rotating drum 901, and a large number of sprinkling nozzles 912 are attached to the sprinkling pipe 911 and water is sprinkled therefrom. The watering nozzle 912 is watering the plurality of cultivated perforated plates 906 while the rotating drum 901 rotates. Thereby, the vegetable seeded by the plurality of cultivation perforated plates 906 sufficiently absorbs moisture and germinates.

  However, this apparatus is intended only for germination of leaf vegetables and is not suitable for growing germinated leaf vegetables. That is, in order to grow germinated leaf vegetables, photosynthesis is required. However, since the cultivated perforated plate 900 is rotated by the rotary drum 901, the direction of sunlight irradiated to the leaf vegetables changes every moment. In other words, it is not suitable for normal leafy vegetables. The reason for this is that, since the leafy vegetables of the plant grow while having straightness with respect to light, the light germination direction of the plants sprouting with the plurality of rotating perforated plates 906 is not constant. Therefore, in order to grow a leaf vegetable of a normal plant, it was necessary to replant to another place at the time of germination, and there was a drawback that it took time and effort.
