It became possible to appreciate the inner cultivation by observing and appreciating it from the outside.

The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to Examples. The box body 2 has a cultivation chamber 1 inside, and an equipment chamber 6 at the bottom via a bottom plate 12.
is the provision. A door 7 that can be opened and closed is provided on one of the front, side, back, and top plate parts of the box body 2 (the embodiment shown in the attached drawings shows an example in which an S7 is provided on the front part). be). The box body 2 is provided with a transparent part 3 so that the cultivation chamber 1 inside can be observed. In the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, the curved surface portion and both side surfaces are transparent portions 3, and the back surface portion and upper surface portion are opaque portions, but it is of course not limited thereto. A tank 8 is disposed within the equipment room 6, and a heating device 10 is attached to the tank 8 to bring the water in the tank to a predetermined temperature. Furthermore, inside this equipment chamber 8, a hot water pipe 9 serving as a temperature control means 4 is installed along almost the entire back surface of the bottom plate 12, and both ends of the hot water pipe 9 are connected to the tank 8, respectively. Also, a pump 11 is provided in the middle of the water shortage pipe 9, and the pump 11 performs circulation in which the hot water in the tank 8 is introduced from one end of the hot water pipe 9 and returned to the tank 8 from the other end. One end of a water sprinkling pipe 13 serving as the humidity control means 5 is connected to the tank 81, and this water sprinkling pipe 13 is composed of a rising pipe section 14 and a water spray pipe section 15 connected to the upper end of the rising pipe section 14. The water sprinkling pipe portion 15 is provided with a plurality of small holes 16 for water sprinkling. Also, watering pipe 1
3 is provided with a pump 17, and the pump 17 pumps up the dry water in the tank 8 and causes hot water to flow from the small watering hole 16. In this way, the dry water can be drained from the small watering hole 16. The inside of the cultivation room 1 is kept at a predetermined humidity. Here, the water spray W section 13 may be placed close to the back and side surfaces of the box body 2 so that the hot water from the water sprinkling holes 16 is transmitted through the back and side surfaces of the box body 2 and flows down. Alternatively, the water sprinkling pipe section 13 may be separated from the back or side surface of the box body 2, and water may be sprayed downward directly from the top plate side through the water sprinkling holes 16 of the water sprinkling pipe section 13. Here, the water sprayed from the small watering holes 16 may be made to flow as a continuous water stream, may be made to flow down in the form of droplets, or may be sprayed in the form of mist. A channel groove 18 is provided along the outer edge of the bottom plate 12 at the bottom of the cultivation chamber 1, and hot water flowing from the watering holes 16 flows along the back and side surfaces of the box body 2 and flows into the water channel. Flowing into the groove 18 for 1. Alternatively, the hot water flows along the bottom plate 12 and flows into the waterway groove 18, and the hot water that flows into the waterway groove 18 is filtered by a filter 19 provided in the waterway groove 18, and is then drained into the tank 8. Alternatively, if a sterilization filter is used, the waste is not only removed, but also sterilized or sterilized before being poured into the tank 8. A blower fan 21 is provided in the box body 2, and air is blown into the cultivation room 1 by a blower fan 21 to prevent the air in the cultivation room 1 from stagnation. Further, the box body 2 is provided with a ventilation fan 22 to ventilate the inside of the cultivation room 1 as necessary.

Furthermore, a lighting device 23 is provided in the cultivation room 1 to provide lighting necessary for cultivation. In the embodiment shown in the attached drawings, the top plate of the box 2 has a mirror surface, for example, so that the cultivated products grown in the cultivation room 1 are reflected and the appearance is improved for viewing purposes, and the heat is not dissipated from the desk surface. By reflecting the light, it also serves to improve the temperature inside the cultivation room 1. Box body 2
is provided with an operation panel 24 for controlling the heating VC device 10, pump 11.17, ventilation 7-amp 21, ventilation 7-amp 22, and lighting device fi 23. The operation panel 24 is provided with various switches 26 for controlling the various devices mentioned above and a timer 27 for temporally controlling the various devices mentioned above. The operation panel 24 may include a microcomputer, for example.
In addition, if you insert a card for each type of cultivated product into the slot 25 or C), you can use the heating device 10, pump 11, 17, ventilation 7-amp 21, ventilation 7-amp 22, lighting device 23, etc. corresponding to the type of cultivated product. The control may be performed automatically. For example, when cultivating shiitake mushrooms, 1
Cultivation temperatures differ depending on the type, such as thermophilic bacteria that often grow at 8 to 20 degrees Celsius, and low humidity bacteria that grow well at 8 to 15 degrees Celsius, and similarly, humidity conditions, air (oxygen) conditions, and
Since the lighting conditions also correspond to the type of cultivated product, the above-mentioned devices are automatically controlled taking these conditions into account. Various types of cultivated products are placed in the cultivation chamber 1 for cultivation, and examples of the cultivated products include mushrooms. Mushrooms are cultivated by, for example, planting mushroom fungi on a log 20. Of course, natural wood can be used as the log 20, but it is also possible to harden sawdust with a binder and then planting mushroom fungi on it as the log 20. It is a good thing. In this case, the raw wood 20 can have any shape, and can also be formed into shapes other than books. To explain an example of thermophilic bacteria of Shiitake mushrooms, the water in the tank 8 is heated by the heating device 10, the hot water is passed through the hot water pipe 9 by the pump 11, and the hot water is passed through the hot water pipe 9. The inside of the tank is kept at an appropriate temperature (in this case, around 25°C is preferable during the period when mycelia grow, and 18 to 20°C is preferable during the period when mushrooms are generated), and the pump 17 is operated to pump up hot water from the tank 8 for watering. Water is sprinkled through the small holes 16 to maintain the inside of the cultivation room 1 at an appropriate level of humidity (in this case, the humidity is preferably about 80%). These detect the temperature and humidity using a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor and maintain the temperature and humidity inside the cultivation room 1 at the desired temperature and humidity. By the way, in the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, the hot water in the tank 8 can be used not only as a heat medium for the temperature controller giA, but also as moisture for maintaining a predetermined humidity. In addition, in this case, the hot water sprinkled to maintain the specified humidity becomes approximately equal to the set temperature in the cultivation room 1, and the watering causes the cultivation room 1 to rise.
It is possible to prevent the room temperature inside from changing. By the way, in the case of mushroom cultivation, since mushroom bacteria are aerobic, they require oxygen, and for this reason, the air blower 21 is operated to prevent air from stagnation in the cultivation chamber 1. Also, mushrooms emit carbon dioxide while they grow, and when the amount of carbon dioxide in the air increases, there is a risk that the mushrooms will not grow normally or become deformed, so make sure to properly ventilate at 7 amps. 22 to ensure that mushroom growth is not hindered. It is also said that light is not necessary during the period when mushroom hyphae are growing, but a certain amount of indirect light is considered necessary to grow full and healthy hyphae.

However, light rays have a large relationship with the development of mushrooms. In other words, mushrooms occur when the hyphae change from vegetative to reproductive cells, and it is thought that light has some effect on this conversion. For this reason, when cultivating mushrooms, the lighting device 23 is used to provide an appropriate amount of light at an appropriate time.

In addition, although mushroom cultivation was explained in the above example,
Plants other than mushrooms may be cultivated.

Furthermore, in the embodiment of the accompanying drawings, the box 2 is shown as having a square box shape, but it is not necessarily limited to this, and may have other shapes.

[Effects of the Invention] In the present invention, as described above, since the temperature control means and the humidity control means are provided in the box whose inside is a cultivation chamber, the temperature and humidity inside the cultivation chamber can be controlled. This product allows you to grow mushrooms etc. in a tube at home with good growth, and by providing a transparent part, you can not only observe the cultivation status inside the cultivation room from outside through the transparent part, but also use the transparent part to decorate the room. It can be appreciated from behind the scenes.
