Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an artificial weather booth.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, equipment for adjusting the air condition in a space closed from the outside with glass, steel plates, etc. exists in large-scale facilities for business use. However, there is no device for small households that adjusts weather conditions such as rainfall, sunshine, and temperature in a closed space as required by the user.

In recent years, ornamental plants such as orchids have become popular. Some of these plants grow only in a special environment, and there is a demand for the realization of a device that can control the environment as described above.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and its purpose is to set weather conditions such as temperature, humidity, air volume, and light volume in a limited space as desired by the user. The purpose is to provide an artificial weather booth that enables

[0005]

Therefore, in the artificial weather booth according to the first aspect of the present invention, an openable window 2 having a light shielding function is formed on the front surface of a container 1 having a space closed from the outside, and the inside of the container 1 is formed. The artificial sun 3 and the sprinkler 4 are installed on the ceiling of the container 1, the temperature controller 5 and the humidity controller 6 are installed on the back of the container 1, and the water tank 8 is installed under the floor of the container 1 to sprinkle water. Machine 4
And the humidity controller 6 are connected to the water tank 8 via the pump 9, and the artificial sun 3, the water sprinkler 4, the temperature controller 5, the humidity controller 6, and the blower 7 installed in the container 1 are connected. A feature is that a control unit 11 for controlling each device is provided.

The artificial weather booth according to a second aspect of the present invention is characterized in that the control section 11 is input with specific weather conditions in advance.

[0007]

In the artificial weather booth according to the first aspect, the window 2 is opened and put in and out, the sunlight is taken in and blocked through the window 2, and the inside of the container 1 is observed. Artificial sun 3,
Since the sprinkler 4 is installed on the ceiling of the container 1, it is possible to efficiently supply light and water. The temperature controller 5 and the humidity controller 6 are installed on the back of the container 1 to adjust the temperature and humidity while preventing the observation of the inside of the container 1 from being hindered. The water tank 8 is installed under the floor of the container 1 to ensure the stability of the artificial weather booth, and the water is pumped by the pump 9 to the water sprinkler 4 and the humidity controller 6.
Supply to. Since a control unit 11 for controlling each device of the artificial sun 3, the water sprinkler 4, the temperature controller 5, the humidity controller 6, and the blower 7 is provided, the temperature, humidity, air volume, and light quantity in the container 1 can be freely set. It can be adjusted to.

According to the artificial weather booth of claim 2,
Since specific weather conditions can be easily reproduced, convenience in use can be improved.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, specific embodiments of the artificial weather booth of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Figure 1
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention.

In the artificial weather booth of the present invention, the bottom is 1000 mm × 1500 mm and the height is 2000 mm.
Although a container 1 having a size of 1 and excellent in heat insulating property is used, the front surface thereof has a window 2 that can be opened and closed. A curtain is attached to the window 2 so that the curtain can be opened / closed not only by the user but also by electric power. Artificial sun 3 and sprinkler 4 on the ceiling of the container 1
, A temperature controller 5 including a compressor 13 and a heat exchanger, and a humidity controller 6 are installed on the back of the container 1, and a blower 7 is installed on the right side surface of the container 1. A water tank 8 is installed under the floor of the container 1, and a pump 9 is installed outside the back of the container 1.
Is installed and both are connected to the water sprinkler 4 and the humidity controller 6. On the floor inside the container 1, a potted ornamental plant 10 is placed.

The ornamental plant 10 is observed through the window 2, and the curtain attached to the window 2 is opened and closed to let in or shield sunlight in the container 1. The artificial sun 3 supplies the required amount of light to the ornamental plant 10 day or night. Temperature controller 5 is container 1
Adjust the temperature inside. Water is supplied from the water tank 8 to the water sprinkler 4 and the humidity controller 6 by the pump 9, and water is sprinkled in the container 1 or the humidity is adjusted. The blower 7 causes wind in the container 1.

The artificial sun 3, the water sprinkler 4, the temperature controller 5, the humidity controller 6, and the blower 7 are connected to the microcomputer 11 and can be controlled by the microcomputer. The user can freely set conditions such as temperature, humidity, air volume, and light volume in the container 1 on the touch panel LCD monitor 12.
Since typical weather conditions are input in advance to the microcomputer 11, it is possible to select them.

In the artificial weather booth, all the water required in the container 1 is supplied from the water tank 8 by the pump 9, so that no water supply work is required, and electric power is supplied from a household outlet, so electrical work is performed. Is also unnecessary.

As described above, the artificial weather booth of the above embodiment is of a size that can be installed in a general household and is easy to install. The above devices are controlled by microcomputer control, and the user has a touch panel. LCD monitor 12
Since the desired weather condition can be easily set, even a person unfamiliar with the machine can use it, and can focus on the maintenance of the ornamental plant 10.

Although specific embodiments of the artificial weather booth of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be carried out within the scope of the present invention. it can. For example, although the present invention is used for raising ornamental plants in the above-mentioned embodiments, it can also be used for raising animals that require a special environment and for storing items.

[0016]

As described above, in the artificial weather booth according to the first aspect of the present invention, in addition to adjusting the amount of sunshine, a control unit for controlling each of the temperature controller, the humidity controller, the sprinkler, the blower, and the artificial sun is provided. Therefore, it is possible to freely adjust the meteorological conditions such as temperature, humidity, air volume, and light volume in the limited space.

According to the artificial weather booth of claim 2,
Since specific weather conditions can be easily reproduced, convenience in use can be improved.
