Description

Multi-stage hydroponic cultivation device {Apparatus for hydroponics cultivation}

The present invention relates to a hydroponic cultivation apparatus, and more particularly, the depth of water to be supplied to the plant size can be adjusted by installing a cultivation plate at various heights so that plants of various sizes can be grown, and the tray up and down and horizontally Not only can be easily installed in the direction, and each tray is connected to the connection pipe is a multi-stage hydroponic cultivation device that is automatically supplied with water and drainage.

In general, hydroponic cultivation is a type of plant cultivation that has been in the spotlight recently because of its advantages of mass production, pollution-free cultivation and freshness. Hydroponic cultivation is a cultivation method in which the roots of hydroponic plants floating on the surface are immersed in water, so it is rapidly spread because it can meet the current consumption pattern of reducing cropland and pollution-free fresh vegetables according to industrial development. There is a trend.

This hydroponic cultivation method grows by absorbing nutrients from the water in which the various nutrients supplied from the outside of the culture plants accommodated in the container side, the proper water supply and temperature control is the key to the growth of the culture plants.

Generally, hydroponic cultivation has a structure in which plants are accommodated inside containers (trays) installed so as to communicate with each other, and water is supplied into the containers through a water supply pipe.

1 is a view showing a tray used in the hydroponic cultivation facility according to the prior art. As shown in FIG. 1, the tray 1 is generally made of plastic and has a rectangular shape and has a structure in which a plurality of drain holes 3 are formed at regular intervals on an open top and a flat bottom 2. Hydroponic cultivation tray (1) is laid on the bottom (2) according to the type of plants, such as abrasion, sponge, stainless steel, sowing seeds and seeding, trays seeded sowing (1) alone or home hydroponic apparatus It is possible to cultivate a small amount by being installed and fixed in a horizontal direction in the interior of the.

2 is a view showing a hydroponic cultivation facility according to the first and second embodiments of the prior art. In order to install the general hydroponic trays individually at regular intervals, it is necessary to build a fixed structure for laying the trays, and the size of the structure, such as the height and width of the fixed structure, is fixed, and various sizes of plants cannot be grown. It is installed because it adopts a single-layer structure that puts the topsoil into a rectangular bed or cup and flows the culture solution to the bottom as shown in (a), or a continuous flow structure that applies a longitudinal tube as shown in 2- (b). It was difficult to change the height and replace.

In addition, there is a problem that the cost is expensive because additional equipment for supplying water is required for mass cultivation such as multi-stage cultivation or plant factory.
