Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to an apparatus for growing plants such as vegetables.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional equipment for growing vegetables and other plants consists of placing a large number of planting boards fixedly inside a greenhouse, planting young seedlings on the planting boards, and applying appropriate fertilizers, lighting, etc. at an appropriate temperature. Many plants were grown to a certain size.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, since the above-mentioned methods simply repeat planting in a fixed manner, it takes a considerable amount of time for the seedlings to grow, and the planting area is reduced due to the need for a route for cropping management and cropping exchange. As a result, mass production was difficult due to the fact that it was difficult to make the planting surface multi-tiered (three-dimensional) due to the passages and replacement work. Furthermore, there was also the drawback that a large amount of manpower was required for tasks such as crop management.

The present invention has been made with the above-mentioned considerations in mind, and its purpose is to provide an efficient growing device for growing vegetables and other plants that can maximize yields with minimal effort. .

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the apparatus for growing plants such as vegetables according to the present invention has an internal space sealed, and is equipped with an entrance for feeding a planting board with seedlings planted on one end, and a growing device on the other end. A liquid fertilizer tank with an outlet for taking out the planting board on which plants have been planted, a liquid fertilizer tank containing a predetermined amount of oxygen, and a space maintained at an appropriate temperature, provided with appropriate lighting, and containing an appropriate amount of carbon dioxide gas. and a plurality of tunnels are provided extending from the inlet to the outlet, and the planting board is partially immersed in the liquid fertilizer in the liquid fertilizer tank so that it can move from the inlet to the outlet. It is distinctive in that it is stacked inside the house.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the apparatus for growing plants such as vegetables according to the present invention has an internal space that is sealed, and is equipped with an entrance for feeding a planting board on which young seedlings are planted at one end, and plants that have grown on the other end. A liquid fertilizer tank is provided with an outlet for taking out the planting board on which the seeds are planted, a liquid fertilizer tank is injected with a predetermined amount of oxygen, and a space is maintained at an appropriate temperature, provided with appropriate illumination, and contains an appropriate amount of carbon dioxide gas. A tunnel is provided from the entrance to the exit, and the planting board is partially immersed in the liquid fertilizer in the liquid fertilizer tank so that it can move from the entrance to the exit. Since the structure is stacked on top of each other, the following effects can be achieved.

Fertilizer whose internal space is sealed and properly adjusted,
Since oxygen, carbon dioxide gas, and light are provided under appropriate temperature control, plants grow quickly and can be harvested in a short period of time.

Since the planting board moves from the entrance to the exit of the tunnel as the plants grow, there is almost no need for planting management, which can significantly reduce manpower.

Furthermore, since the tunnels having the above structure are stacked in multiple stages within the greenhouse, the land can be used effectively, and the yield per unit area can be greatly increased.
Combined with the reduction in manpower, productivity is significantly improved.

Furthermore, moving the planting board can be done almost automatically, and most of the work is light work, so even elderly people can do it relatively easily.
