An insertion hole 280 is formed in the upper part of the support frame 120. The insertion hole 280 has a cross-

And is formed so as to pass through the front and rear of the support frame 120. The light irradiation member 300 to be described below is accommodated in the insertion hole 280. [

A light irradiation member 300 is installed in the insertion groove 280. The light irradiating member 300 includes an LED 302 having a plurality of LEDs and a plurality of light emitting diodes 302 disposed on the LED 302 to emit light emitted from the LED 302 in a wider range And a lens unit 304 for irradiating light.

A lens unit 304 is installed on the upper portion of the LED unit 302. The lens unit 304 has a hollow semicylindrical shape, and is disposed at an upper portion of the LED with a predetermined interval between front and rear. The lens unit 304 serves to diffuse the light emitted by the LED.

That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the light irradiation member 300 is installed inside the support frame 120 located above the accommodation space S. The light irradiation member 300 irradiates light inside the accommodation space S to promote the growth of plants.

Hereinafter, the operation of the plant hydroponic cultivator of the present invention having the above-described structure will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 12. FIG.

First, a seed or a seedling is inserted into the cultivation hole 172 of the reed plate 170. When the seed is inserted into the growth hole 172, the seed is inserted into the cross-cut incision of the sponge, and the sponge is inserted into the growth hole 172 and fixed.

When the seeds and seedling are inserted into the inside of the growth hole 172, the reed plate 170 is inserted into the water tank 162 in which the water is stored. The reed plate 170 is positioned above the water by buoyancy and water is supplied to the lower side of the reed hole 172.

In order to circulate the water in the water tank 162, the water circulation means 180 is operated. The water circulating means 180 is mounted in the receiving portion 174 of the repositioning plate 170. The water circulation means 180 is installed so as to be partially immersed in the water of the water tank 162. A circulation pump 188 is installed in the water circulation means 180 so that the water in the water tank 162 flows into the circulation pump 188 through the water inlet hole 189.

The circulation pump 188 pumps the water in the water tank 162 to the discharge port 190. The water pumped by the circulation pump 188 is guided to the heating member 220 through the water discharge pipe 211. A temperature sensing member 222 is installed below the heating member 220 to sense the temperature of the water.

The user can set the temperature of the water using the control unit 310 and the temperature of the water in the control panel 260 according to the temperature set in the control unit 310. The control panel 260 compares the temperature of the water sensed by the temperature sensing member 222 according to the set temperature and heats the water by operating the heating member 220 when the sensed temperature is below a predetermined temperature.

The heating member 220 is heated while circulating water by the heating member 220. When the predetermined temperature is sensed in the temperature sensing member 222, the heating member 220 stops heating the water.

A first water supply pipe 232 is installed on the upper part of the heating member 220. The water heated by the heating member 220 is guided to the nutrient injection pipe 234 through the first water supply pipe 232. The nutrient solution supply pipe 234 is connected to the first water supply pipe, the second water supply pipe and the second nutrient solution supply pipe 256, respectively.

The nutrient solution is supplied to the nutrient solution supply pipe 234 by the second nutrient solution supply pipe 256 and mixed with the nutrient solution guided to the second water supply pipe 236.

A nutrient solution reservoir 240 is installed above the side plate 102. The nutrient solution is stored in the nutrient solution reservoir 240 and the nutrient solution is guided to the opening and closing member 254 through the first nutrient solution supply pipe 252 connected to the nutrient solution reservoir 240.

The opening and closing member 254 is opened and closed by a user's operation and selectively supplies the nutrient solution to the second nutrient solution supply pipe 256. When the open / close member 254 is opened, the nutrient solution is supplied to the nutrient solution supply pipe 234 through the second nutrient solution supply pipe 256. The nutrient solution supplied to the nutrient solution inlet pipe 234 is mixed with water and guided to the inlet port 202 through the second water supply pipe 236.

The water mixed with the nutrient solution supplied to the inlet 202 is moved along the discharge passage 204 and supplied to the inside of the water tank 162. An oxygen supply pipe 206 is provided in the discharge passage 204 to block a part of the discharge passage 204 to increase the flow rate of water.

As a result, a pressure difference of the discharge passage 204 is generated, and external oxygen flows into the discharge passage 204 through the oxygen supply pipe 206. The oxygen introduced through the oxygen supply pipe 206 is mixed with water to increase the dissolved oxygen amount of the water.

In addition, the user operates the blowing fan 282 to circulate the air in the accommodation space S in which the plant grows. When the blowing fan 282 is operated, air flows in through the left side of the airflow passage 280 as shown in FIG. 11, and air is discharged to the right side of the airflow passage by the blowing fan 282. An anion generating member 284 is installed in the air flow path unit 280 to mix the air with circulated air and blow it.

A light irradiation member 300 is installed inside the support frame 120 installed above the accommodation space S. The light irradiation member 300 irradiates light inside the accommodation space S to promote the growth of plants.

The scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and many other modifications based on the present invention will be possible to those skilled in the art within the scope of the present invention.
