The present invention relates to a greenhouse system that cleans the air in the indoor space by installing indoors, and more particularly, installed in the indoor space of a building such as a veranda of an apartment to purify indoor air through plant cultivation and then supply the indoor space. The present invention relates to an automatic greenhouse system for indoor air purification, which improves the environment.

In general, indoor air not only contains a lot of fine dust in accordance with life activities, but also adversely affects health by contamination of microorganisms contained in the fine dust.

In order to purify the indoor air, it is possible to create a garden in the interior space of a building such as a veranda or to plant plants to enjoy emotional abundance. Plants such as trees and plants can absorb carbon dioxide emitted from the human body and release oxygen necessary for the human body. If you plant a lot of plants in the garden is expected to have a side effect of drinking fresh air, while having an emotional richness or aesthetic function, but the effect on "clear air" is not great.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop an indoor garden that can satisfy both aesthetic and ecological functions as well as environmental improvement (clear air).

The following are disclosed as conventional technologies developed in accordance with such circumstances.

In the past, various attempts have been made to improve the indoor environment by using potted plants. Among them, the potted plant of deodorant houseplant, known as Korean Utility Model Publication No. 91-10478, has an image of a potted plant with exhaust holes perforated in the lower main wall. A partition plate is installed to form a space in the lower part, a through hole is formed in the middle part of the partition plate, and an intake tube is installed in the upper part, and an intake fan is installed in the lower part, respectively, and a dust collecting net is covered in the upper part of the partition plate and the intake box. Filled and the cover of the top of the pot is formed by the intake tube is formed inside the plant stem or support, and the plant stem and the lower end of the plant leaf connected to the plant stem or the air suction hole perforated at the end of the support. .

This design combines artificial plants to pots, combines air purification material inside the pots, and ventilates the indoor air through the inside of the pots with a blower fan installed in the pots, but removes the purified air. When the air purifier was changed into a potted plant, natural plants could not be cultivated, the air purification function could not be expected from the plant, air purification using soil was not possible, and a humidification effect was not obtained.

Domestic Utility Model Publication No. 90-8122 is a prior art made by planting artificial flowers or artificial trees as above in an air purifier, and Korean Utility Model Publication No. 93-23141 combines artificial plant material with a suction pipe to a potted body. Combination of similar type of trailing technology had similar problems as above.

Korean Patent Publication No. 94-18010 relates to hydroponic cultivation and air purifying apparatus using a tubular fish tank, and allows the water to be cultivated by the submersible pump to the cultivation tank to allow the cultivation of plants and the circulation water of the cultivation tank. As the polluted air is returned to the tank through the filter and the outside polluted air is passed through the filter by the blower fan, the polluted air coming into contact with the circulating water is adsorbed and removed by the surface effect of water to purify the air and humidify it. It is designed to remove the harmful substances such as tobacco and smoke by installing an anion generator, but it does not have the air purification function using soil, which is the base material for plant cultivation, and pumps the water in the tank. And water is drawn from the upper part of the port through the water supply pipe and the bending pipe. There was a problem in that the plant applied to be grown is limited.

In addition, it is known that plants absorb and change various air harmful components through their leaves and roots, and indoor appreciation plants for reducing indoor air pollution using this principle are known. In addition, plants growing in incubators containing activated carbon regenerate air by the so-called bio-regeneration by the roots when it contains harmful components, absorb harmful components by biochemical and soil bacteria, and soil bacteria bacteria are pathogens. It is known to sterilize, and gardening using this principle is known.

In addition, the biological filter described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-133991 (published on August 23, 1994) using this principle is a bottle-shaped filter housing for accommodating water or nourishment liquid, and a bottle installed in the filter housing. In a biological filter having a plant with an incubator present therein and having a means for circulating air through the filter element, the bottle-shaped filter housing is hermetically sealed with a retaining opening for the filter element. It has a cover, and the filter element is composed of a shape-safe holding part composed of a plurality of pipe members, and a porous anti-rust filter pocket under which air and water or nourishment liquids are allowed to exchange.

In addition, the filter element constitutes a container in which the retaining portion and the filter pocket have an opening together, and the retaining portion is formed of a plurality of tubular members, and the bottom thereof is a fine lattice that transitions to one or a plurality of filter pockets. The filter pocket is closed and arranged in such a manner that a plurality of pipe members having different lengths are arranged to be inclined at a lower end in a harmonica shape.

However, in the conventional biological filter, in order to obtain the effect of extending the roots of the plant into the water contained in the lower part of the filter housing, the filter pocket of the filter element is formed in the shape of a root by using a plurality of pipe members. The structure of the filter pocket is complicated, and the holding portion of the filter element is formed of a plurality of pipe members, and the filter pocket connected to the holding portion is formed of a pipe member, and the lattice member of the middle portion of the holding member and the pipe member of the filter pocket is formed in the middle portion. There is a problem that the production is very difficult because it is connected to. In addition, the air introduced into the filter housing is discharged to the outside through the upper portion of the holding portion with the least resistance while being discharged through the holding portion of the filter element consisting of a plurality of pipe members. There was a problem that the ability to purify is reduced.

In Korean Utility Model Publication No. 95-29078, a vent hole having a strainer is formed on one side wall of a flower pot having soil containing the soil in which the plant is planted, and a partition wall is formed on one side of the storage unit where the vent hole is formed. To form a separate space, and to form a suction fan to suck air through the vent on one side of the partition wall and to form an air passage for supplying air to the housing on the other side to supply air to the housing. Insert the net at the bottom of the net to spread the air, and the non-woven fabric at the top of the net can be decomposed and purified to remove the air pollutants to the top of the non-woven fabric, and the soil is inserted to plant the root of the plant, one side of the partition Equipped with a sensing sensor that detects the amount of moisture accumulated in the net and a cover on the upper part of the space to speed up the lamp and suction fan. Bow is in a configuration provided with a circuit to detect the amount of control and a light for controlling the speed of the suction fan.

Such a conventional air cleaning pot is intended to allow the air sucked by the suction fan to be discharged through a non-woven fabric, activated carbon, elvan, and soil-filled storage units, but it is not equipped with a water supply device for supplying the water necessary for the plant to grow. When the water is poured into the storage unit, the water is filled in the storage unit as it is, so that there is a problem that the plant is excessively moist and difficult to grow, and when the water is excessively filled in the storage unit, the water flows back to the suction fan and the circuit unit.

In Korean Utility Model Publication No. 96-10073, an air purifier that sucks and purifies polluted air by suction power of an impeller rotated according to the operation of a driving motor, and includes a plurality of contacts that purify the sucked air according to the operation of the impeller. The upper case filled with activated carbon and the upper case is installed at intervals to allow air to flow therebetween, and the inner container in which silicates and water necessary for plant growth are stored, and the water overflowed from the inner container is stored. Air purifiers consisting of storage vessels with drip trays are known, but such air purifiers are difficult to grow because the irrigation method for plant growth is structurally inadequate, and the air sucked by the impeller is filled in the upper case. It is purified by activated carbon and does not have purification function through soil, which is the base material for plant cultivation. And, the water overflowed from the inner container is to be stored in the storage container of the lower, but since the water is filled up to almost the upper end of the inner container there is a problem that the water easily overflows and overflows excessively to contaminate the surroundings.

An air purifier with a potted plant known in Korean Patent Publication No. 96-16941 provides a decorative effect by planting potted plants or ornamental plants in a potted plant to provide indoor decorating effect. Air is sucked into the air, and impurities and bad odors are sucked and removed by a filter containing carbon, and the removed clean air is forced out of the air cleaner by the motor. A water tank and a small pump are installed inside the plant to spray water into the air using a small sprayer connected through a hose to the upper part of the plant to supply proper moisture to the plant. It is configured to adhere and remove the moisture in the bubble state to supply the plant.

An air purifier with a potted plant that combines a pot with a normal purifier to play a role as a pot and an air purifier. The plant is sprayed with water from a spray nozzle at the top of the potted plant, and sucked by a blower motor. The dust in the air is removed using a filter and then discharged. As the water supply method is sprayed and water is contained in the pot, the roots of the plants are always submerged in the water, so the plants are over-moist and difficult to grow, and they do not have the air purification function through the soil, which is the base material for plant cultivation. Was.

Known in Korean Patent Publication No. 98-071944 (published on October 26, 1998), a plant cultivation pot has a planting space in which a plant is planted in the center of the body to form a body of a predetermined shape using plastic or soil as a main raw material. In the potted plant, formed in the bottom portion of the planting space, the ventilation hole formed at least one or more pores extending upward to the top of the planter along the circumference of the planting space, at a predetermined position of the space between the outer peripheral surface of the planter and the planting space A water supply device comprising a water tank equipped with an injection hole and a pump for ejecting water from the water tank into the air vents; A motor having a fan mounted at a predetermined position of the space part and injecting outside air through the suction port and injecting the air into the vent hole; Control device for controlling the temperature and humidity in the planting space by controlling the operation of the motor including the water supply device and the fan by receiving the output signals of the temperature sensor and the humidity sensor mounted in the planting space and mounted in the planting space ; And a power supply device for supplying power to the water supply device, the motor having a fan, and the control device.

Such plant cultivation pots automatically supply water and wind to the inside of pots according to the internal temperature and humidity of the pots to facilitate the growth of ornamental plants and to purify the air and humidify indoors, Falling, the water supply device for the normal water supply method to raise the water above the plant according to the indoor humidity and pour from the top, as well as the air purification function using the soil is not equipped.

In Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1993-2753 (published on Feb. 23, 1993), a humidifier using a tank having an upper portion open to receive a predetermined amount of water, wherein water is pumped through an absorption port installed at the bottom of the tank. Water is supplied to the upper water channel mounted on the tank through a water supply pipe connected to the pump so that the water supply is filled with a member for filtering and planting the plant, and one side of the water channel for returning water to the tank. And a porous filter is installed in the drain hole in the up and down directions to drain the water while the water film is drained. A fan for sucking external air into the drain hole and one side of the filter is installed and sucked by the fan. The air is passed through the fan is configured to be exhausted to the vent provided on the upper side.

Such a humidifier is a device similar to the above-mentioned Korean Patent Publication No. 94-18010 (hydroponic cultivation and purification apparatus using an aquarium fish tank), which is highly humid, but does not have an air purification function using soil, which is a base material for plant cultivation. There is a problem in that the plant is applied to be able to grow smoothly by raising the water in the port through the water pump and the water supply pipe and bent pipe to the water supply in the upper portion of the pot.

In Korean Patent Publication No. 2000-341 (published on Jan. 15, 2000), a potted plant consisting of a potted plant and a water supply container, in the center of the potted plant has a funnel-shaped soil and fertilizer-filled space portion downwardly, On the side, a plurality of water holes are laid so that water can be supplied from the water container, and the inside of the flower pot maintains a space portion at the edge of the pot, and a plurality of fine water holes are laid at the bottom of the bottom and air can be supplied to the surface. Environmentally friendly flower pots are known by addressing a plurality of flower pot support angles, each of which has one or more air-supply tunnel-type vents installed downward.

This eco-friendly pollen has no fear of polluting soil or water due to excessive forced watering from the ground, and no damage from plant rooting or rotting due to excess water supply. It is effective in preventing growth and flowering due to the stress of plants due to oversupply of the plant. However, this flower pot is not equipped with air purification function through soil, which is the base material for plant cultivation, There was a problem that it is limited and not suitable for large gardens.

As described above, various attempts known in the art have respective effects, but are combined into small or large gardens in accordance with the scale to be installed in a suitable place in the room such as a veranda of an apartment as described later. It is not suitable for installation, and the water supply structure and method necessary for the growth of planted plants are not only complicated, but it is also easy to be humidified by excessive water supply, so it is not suitable for the growth of plants. There was a problem that was not equipped with the function to purify and use the foreign matter as a nutrient for plant growth.

On the other hand, buildings constructed of reinforced concrete not only have a problem of lack of abundance and aesthetics of the exterior scenery and interior ambience, but also have headaches and dizziness for no particular reason when living in the interior space of closed buildings.
