Reference numerals 18, which are not described in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, are provided in the upper re-battle 12 and the lower member battle 11 in a diagonal direction to support the spacing and shape of the bars 13 and 14. .

In addition, according to the present embodiment, the grower 10 includes a cutting portion to remove the root portion of the germinated sprout so as to easily harvest the shoots.

As shown in FIG. 4, the cutting part is installed in the width direction between the upper ash battle 12 and the lower member battle 11 of the base frame 15 and a cutting material 20 for cutting the shoots, and The slits 21 are formed on both side surfaces of the base frame 15 in the longitudinal direction to which the cutting material 20 is moved.

Accordingly, by moving the cutting material 20 along the slit 21 formed on the side of the base frame 15 between the upper battle 12 and the lower member battle 11 it is possible to simply cut the root portion of the shoots Will be.

Here, the longitudinal direction means a direction in which each rearrangement slides and the width direction is defined as meaning a right angle direction in the longitudinal direction.

The cutting material 20 may be applied to a variety of structures such as a plate-shaped structure or a thin wire to perform the blade role, if the root portion of the shoot can be cut is not particularly limited.

As shown in Figure 1 both ends of the cutting material 20 extends to the outside of the base frame 15 through the slit 21 and the handle 22 is installed at each end so that the operator can easily move It is.

On the other hand, look at the processing circulation 30 as follows.

The treatment circulation unit 30 is located in the lower part of the cultivator 10 and the filtration tank 31 for receiving the discharged water discharged from the outlet 19 of the base frame 15, and filled in the filtration tank 31 and the Filtered material 32 for filtering the contaminants contained in the discharge water, the discharge port 33 formed in the lower end of the filtration tank 31 is communicated with the treated water passing through the filtration tank 31 is stored and connected to the supply unit 50 Storage tank 34, vertically installed in the storage tank 34 is formed at the lower end of the inlet hole 36 through which the treated water in the reservoir 34 is introduced, and the outlet hole 37 is formed at the upper end of the aerated treated liquid is ejected It is connected to the diffuser pipe 35 and the diffuser pipe 38 and the diffuser pipe 38 to generate air bubbles by dispersing air into the discharge pipe 35 and generating air bubbles. It includes a blower (39) for supplying.

The filter medium 32 is a filtration membrane for filtering relatively large contaminants such as seed shells and fills plastics, ceramics, fine aggregates, and the like to block or reduce the concentration of contaminants in the storage tank 34.

Accordingly, the air supplied from the blower 39 is ejected into the width pipe 35 through the diffuser 38, and the treated water rises above the width pipe 35 along with the bubbles generated at the top of the width pipe 35. It is re-injected into the water storage tank 34 through the formed outlet hole 37.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the structure of one width pipe 35 is installed in the reservoir 34. However, the number of width pipes may vary depending on the size of the device or the properties of the treated water. The larger the width 35, the higher the purification rate of the treated water.

The diffuser 38 is for dispersing air into bubbles, and is connected through a blower 39 and an air pipe 40 installed outside the reservoir 34.

On the other hand, the supply unit 50 for circulating the treated water in the reservoir 34 to the cultivator 10 has a lower end in which the inlet 52 is formed extends to the bottom of the reservoir 34 so that the treated water is introduced and the upper end of the cultivator ( 10) a supply pipe 51 extending upwardly to distribute the treated water, a diffuser 53 installed inside the supply pipe 51 to generate air bubbles, and a blower for supplying air to the diffuser 53 ( 54, a timer 55 connected to the blower 54 to set an operating time of the blower, and a plurality of nozzles 56 installed at an upper portion of the supply pipe 51 to eject treated water toward the planter 10. ).

The diffuser 53 installed in the supply pipe 51 is also used to disperse air into air bubbles through a blower 54 and an air pipe 57 installed outside the storage tank 34.

Therefore, since bubbles are generated from the diffuser 54, the treated water introduced into the supply pipe 51 from the reservoir 34 is moved along the supply pipe 51 together with the bubbles and ejected to the planter 10 through the nozzle 56. .

Hereinafter, the operation of the present invention will be described.

The seeding of the seed for cultivation of the sprout is made simply by sowing the seed on the lower member battle (11). The lower member battle 11 seeded is inserted through the guide groove 16 formed in the base frame 15 and installed in the base frame 15.

On the lower member battle 11, the bars 13 are densely installed at intervals smaller than the size of the seed to prevent the seed from falling out.

The upper battle 12 is also inserted through the guide groove 16 formed in the base frame 15 is positioned above the lower member battle (11).

When the apparatus is operated in this state, the blower 54 is operated at a necessary time according to the operation of the timer 55 to spray water in the reservoir 34 with the seeds.

That is, when the blower 54 is operated, air is supplied to the diffuser 53 installed in the supply pipe 51 through the air pipe 57 to generate bubbles.

The bubbles thus generated rise up along the supply pipe 51 and are sprayed into the grower 10 through the nozzle 56 installed on the supply pipe 51. The seed placed on the lower member battle 11 of the cultivator 10 is to germinate through a continuous water supply.

When the seeds germinate, the roots are lowered under the lower member battle (11), and the shoots grow upward while growing up the upper rear battle (12).

In this process, the seed shell, which is the shell of the seed, is caught by the bars 14 which are installed at intervals on the upper battle 12, and is separated from the shoots so that they cannot rise above the upper battle 12, but only the shoots. The upper battle 12 is to grow up.

As a result, it is possible to reliably separate the shoots and the epidermis.

In this way, the water supply is continued until the germinated sprout becomes the final product, and in this process, the water sprayed through the supply pipe 51 passes through the roots of the shoots and then goes to the treatment circulation part 30 located under the planter 10. After being introduced and purged, it is recycled to the grower 10 through the supply unit 50.

Water passing through the roots of the shoots is collected at the bottom of the base frame 15 of the cultivator 10 and introduced into the filtration tank 31 of the treatment circulation part 30 through the outlet 19 installed in the base frame 15.

The discharged water introduced into the filtration tank 31 is primarily purified while passing through the filter medium 32 filled in the filtration tank 31, and the discharge water passing through the filter medium 32 passes through the outlet 19 below the filtration tank 31. Is sent to the reservoir (34).

The treated water introduced into the storage tank 34 is aerated by the aeration pipe 35 installed in the storage tank 34. In this process, oxygen is sufficiently introduced to secondaryly decompose and purify the contaminants.

That is, when the blower 39 is driven, air is supplied to the diffuser 38 through the air pipe 40, and is generated as bubbles in the width pipe 35.

Therefore, the treated water in the storage tank 34 introduced into the width pipe 35 through the inlet hole 36 formed in the lower portion of the width pipe 35 rises to the top of the width pipe 35 together with the bubbles and the width pipe 35. Re-injected into the water reservoir 34 through the outlet hole 37 formed on the top.

In this process, the treated water jetted from the pipe 35 to the storage tank 34 absorbs oxygen in the air and is secondarily purified. In addition, as the treated water rises together with the microbubbles inside the width pipe, organic contaminants of the treated water adhere to the surface of the microbubbles to purify the water quality of the treated water.

As described above, the pollutants discharged from the roots during peeling or sprouting of seeds in the cultivation process of the shoots through the filtration tank 31 and the width pipe 35 are purified, and the treated water is supplied to the supply pipe 34 installed in the storage tank 34. It is sent back to the planter 10 through 51 and resupplied to the shoots of the planter 10.

The diffuser 53 installed inside the supply pipe 51 is connected to the blower 54 through the air pipe 57, so that when the timer 55 of the blower is operated, the air passes through the diffuser 53. Erupted by air bubbles.

As mentioned above, the gas-liquid mixture of bubbles and water rises up along the supply pipe 51 and is sprayed to the planter 10 through the nozzle 56 installed on the supply pipe 51.

As described above, the water supplied to the cultivator 10 is purified by the storage tank 34 and supplied to the cultivator 10 so that the sprouts can be grown by continuously recycling the used water.

Meanwhile, when the shoots grow to a certain size, they are harvested.

Harvesting is done by cutting the roots of the shoots. 5 is a schematic view showing a process of cutting the root (G) of the shoot (P) as the cutting material 20 proceeds. As shown in the above drawings, when the cutting material 20 proceeds in one direction along the slit 21 formed in the base frame 15, the cutting material 20 passes through the lower part of the shoot P in the cross-sectional direction. It is possible to simply cut the root (G) from the shoots.

When the shoots are cut, the upper re-battle 12 is removed by sliding the guide grooves 16 of the base frame 15 so that only the shoots can be easily harvested.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications and changes can be made within the scope of the claims and the detailed description of the invention and the accompanying drawings. Naturally, it belongs to the range of.

As described above, the present invention is to purify the organic pollutants contained from the roots and the like during the growth of the shoots and to circulate the purified water continuously to reduce the amount of water used and to prevent environmental pollution.

In addition, it is possible to increase the amount of oxygen required to promote plant rooting and growth, thereby improving the growth environment of shoot cultivation.

In addition, since seed seed germinates naturally from the shoots, it is possible to reduce the manpower and time required for seed separation.

In addition, it is possible to easily remove the unnecessary root portion at the time of shoot harvest can reduce the effort and inconvenience caused during shoot harvest.
