[Industrial use]

The present invention relates to a household hydroponic cultivator, and more specifically, to form a planting space in multiple stages, and to automatically adjust the water level, to increase the yield, aesthetics to increase the functionality of the indoor hydroponic cultivator It is about.

[Prior art]

In general, hydroponic technology is widespread and is being tried by some advanced farmers as a form of agriculture promoted by the government.

Accordingly, the hydroponic cultivator used for professional agriculture has been developed a lot of technologies, but the development of household hydroponic cultivators that can be hydroponic cultivation at home as a hobby is incomplete.

That is, one example of a conventional home hydroponic cultivator is a kitchen with a pneumatic cultivator, the hydroponic cultivator is not properly supplied with nutrient solution due to the malfunction of the sprinkler, and the bed is located vertically, so that when planting plants There are some limitations, and the water leaks well.

As another example, several synthetic resin containers are arranged in multiple stages, and plants are planted using spaces between the respective meshes. In this case, the planting space is very narrow so that hydroponic cultivation is impossible. There is this.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, by arranging the planting portion in which the plant is planted in multiple stages with sufficient intervals up and down to ensure sufficient planting space, and to automatically adjust the water level, for the purpose of increasing the yield as possible A home hydroponic cultivator of application No. 95-08694 filed April 26, 1995 by the applicant has been proposed.

[Problem trying to solve]

However, the conventional domestic hydroponic cultivator has a complicated structure and a large number of parts, which is not easy to assemble and install.

In addition, since the nutrient solution is exposed to the fruit section, green algae are generated inside the planting part, which hinders the growth of plants and impairs aesthetics.

And, when planting the plant in the planting plate is not easily planted, there is a problem that the root and stem of the planted plant is damaged.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention is designed to solve these problems of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to facilitate the assembly and installation of hydroponic cultivator, to prevent the nutrient solution supplied to the plant to be exposed to light, green algae inside the planting part Water hydroponic cultivator to prevent the occurrence of water and to increase the yield by maximizing the yield by automatically adjusting the water level when planting the plant on the plate without damaging the roots and stems of the plant To provide.

Home hydroponic cultivator of the present invention to achieve the object as described above is a nutrient solution storage container having an internal space capable of storing a certain amount of nutrient solution; A plurality of planting parts disposed on the upper side of the nutrient storage container to plant plants; A water supply pipe having a predetermined height and standing on the nutrient solution storage container and an upper center portion, a lower pipe member disposed outside the water supply pipe to support a planting portion and forming a drainage passage, and installed above the lower pipe member At least one intermediate pipe member having a water level adjusting means at the same time as supporting the part, and the upper part is sealed to the outside and the upper pipe member having a nutrient solution supply hole on the upper side and the water level adjusting means, the planting portion Support means for fixing; It includes a pumping means is formed at the bottom of the water supply pipe to pump the nutrient solution to the water supply pipe is formed in the nutrient solution in the nutrient storage container as a pump.

[Action]

These home hydroponic cultivators are easy to assemble and install, and the nutrient solution supplied to the plants is not exposed to light so that green algae do not occur inside the planting department, and when planting plants on the planting plate, they can be planted using a seedling cup. The roots and stems of the plants are not damaged and can be easily planted. By installing the planting part in multiple stages in a narrow space and automatically adjusting the water level, the plants can be hydroponically grown and the yield can be maximized.

Supply nutrient solution.

In the above nutrient solution is introduced into the upper portion of the upper tube member 20, the upper portion of the upper tube member 20 is formed to be sealed to the outside, it can protect the nutrient solution from the external light to prevent the occurrence of green algae. .

In addition, the nutrient solution flowing into the uppermost planting portion 10 is guided into the planting portion 10 by a guide feather 48 extending from the outer circumferential surface of the upper tube member 20.

This is to prevent the nutrient solution supplied from flowing directly down to the water level control pipe 46 to control its level.

When the nutrient solution is supplied to the inside of the planting portion 10 as described above to the height of the water level control pipe 46, the nutrient solution overflows the water level control pipe 46 through the drain hole 42 of the upper pipe member 20 It flows to the space part 40.

Then, the nutrient solution thereof flows into the space 52 of the lower intermediate tube member 16, and the nutrient solution is guided by the guide feather 66 of the intermediate tube member 16 to the inside of the planting part 10. When the nutrient solution is supplied in this way and is above a certain level, that is, above the height of the water level control tube 64, the nutrient solution thereof is over the water level control tube 64, and the intermediate pipe member located below through the drain hole 60. Through the 16 or the lower tube member 14 is flowed into the inside of the planting portion 10 or the nutrient solution storage container (2) located on the lower side.

That is, the nutrient solution supplied to the uppermost planting unit 10 as described above is sequentially supplied to the planting unit 10 disposed below through the above process, and finally introduced into the nutrient solution storage container 2. It is supplied circulating as a process.

The pump 22 is operated at regular time intervals by the timer 24, this time interval is freely adjusted according to the characteristics of the cultivated plant to select the supply amount of nutrient solution.

In addition, in the above, the planting plate 30 of the planting unit 10 is bisected with the central through hole 80 as an axis, and the planting plate 30 is easily detached from the inside of the planting unit 10 at any time. Can check the state of the nutrient solution in, and can supply fresh air to the inside of the planting unit 10 can facilitate the plant breathing.

In addition, at the time when the nutrient solution is not supplied, the nutrient solution of each planting part 10 is provided below through the holes 45 and 65 formed at the lower ends of the water level control tubes 46 and 64 ( 10) or flows into the nutrient solution storage container (2), the height is lowered to the lowest level of each planting part 10, the root of the plant is exposed to the air, it can be made to breathe more smoothly.

[effect]

As described above, the home hydroponic cultivator of the present invention is simple in assembly and installation because of its simple structure and few parts, and the nutrient solution supplied to the plant is not exposed to light, so that the green alga is not generated inside the planting part. When planting on the planting plate, it is planted using a seedling cup so that the roots and stems of the plant can be easily planted without being damaged, and the water level is automatically adjusted and the plant level is automatically adjusted in a narrow space. Hydroponic cultivation is possible and yield is maximized.
