Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a cultivation rack on which cultivated products such as plants or bacteria are placed and cultivated.

[Background Art] Conventionally, as this type of cultivation shelf, there is one in which lighting equipment is attached to the shelf to irradiate light onto cultivated products such as plants or bacteria. Generally, to cultivate plants, the illumination intensity is 2000 to 6000 lx and the temperature is 25±1°C.

However, in the past, the illuminance was fixed, and there were no cultivation shelves that could freely adjust the illuminance. In addition, when the illuminance of this type of cultivation rack is increased, a large amount of heat is radiated to the plants due to the heat emitted by the lighting equipment, which is unfavorable for the growth of the plants. Furthermore, high temperatures are also unfavorable for lighting equipment, such as shortening the life of lamps. Conventionally, a cooling device has been used to lower the temperature, but this has the problem of requiring a large-scale device.

[Purpose of the invention] The present invention was made in view of the above points, and its purpose is to easily adjust illuminance or temperature without making the device large-scale. The goal is to provide cultivation racks.
