Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, well-known functions or constructions that may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention will not be described in detail.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view for explaining the structure of a mining apparatus capable of vertical movement of an indoor pot according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view It is a perspective view. And FIG. 3 is a configuration diagram for automation of the mining equipment.

1 and 2, a lighting apparatus according to the present invention includes a main body 1; A bottom container 2; A main container 3; A vertical moving part 4; A light receiving sensor 5; A control unit 6, a water supply unit 7, and the like. The present invention can automate the vertical movement of the pollen so that sufficient sunlight can be irradiated to the indoor pollen even when the manager is absent by these components, and the supply of water can be automatically performed while the pollen is placed on the floor . Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the above-described components.

First of all, the main body portion 1 has a shape suitable for efficiently arranging and organically bonding the floor container 2, the main container 3, the vertical movement portion 4 and the water supply portion 7, which are other components, Can be designed as a " c "shape. To this end, the main body 1 comprises an upper plate 11, a lower plate 13 and an intermediate support 12 connecting them.

The bottom plate 13 is made of a large flat plate supported in contact with the bottom, and the inside thereof is hollow so as to store water, and the bottom container 2 is located on the top. The bottom plate 13 and the bottom container 2 are connected to each other by the water distribution rod 21 so that the water flowing out from the flowerpot drain hole 101 is stored in the empty space in the bottom plate 13, To the drain pipe (132).

The upper plate 11 is composed of a wide flat plate which is spaced upward from the lower plate 13 and arranged parallel to each other. A vertical movement part 4 for vertically moving the main container 3 is installed and supported on the top plate 11 and a driving motor 41 of the vertical movement part 4 is supported on the top plate 11 And is fixed.

The intermediate support 12 is vertically formed between the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 13 in the form of a vertical wall so that the two plates 11 and 13 are spaced apart from each other while connecting the plates. The water supply part 7 is installed using both sides of the intermediate support 12 and water is supplied to the flowerpot 100 through the water supply pipe 75 protruding further toward the flowerpot 100 through the intermediate support 12 . A plurality of light receiving sensors 5 are provided on the intermediate support 12 and the top plate 11 to measure the intensity of light entering the room and transmit the measured intensity to the controller 6.

The bottom container 2 is placed on the upper surface of the lower plate 13 of the main body part 1 and fixed to the lower plate 13 via the bottom container fixing member 22. A plurality of water distribution rods 21 are located inside the bottom container 2. Water flowing out from the pots drain hole 101 through the water distribution rod 21 is discharged into the empty space inside the bottom plate 13 And is discharged to the drain pipe 132 through the drain hole 131 of the lower plate.

The main container 3 is connected to the lower end of the wire 42 of the vertical movement part 4 and installed vertically above the bottom container 2. [ The main container 3 includes a rotator 31 therein to enable the pollen 100 to rotate. The reason for rotating the pollen (100) is to irradiate a light source evenly in all directions to the plant on the pollen even if the sunlight source is incident only in one direction of the room. The rotating body 31 includes a rotating motor 31a, a rotating plate 31b, and the like. The rotary motor 31a may be installed inside the main container 3 or at the center of the upper part of the main container 3 and is connected to the control unit 6 to be described later and operated by the control unit 6. [ The rotary plate 31b is provided at the upper end of the rotary motor 31a and rotates in accordance with the operation of the rotary motor 31a. A bearing (not shown) may be provided between the main container 3 and the rotary plate 31b so that the rotary plate 31b can be easily rotated. In such a case, even if a heavy pollen is placed on the upper surface of the rotary plate 31b, the rotary plate 31b can be easily rotated because it is well supported by the bearing. The solar module unit 32 is used as means for supplying power to the rotating motor 31a of the rotating body 31 and driving the same. The solar module section 32 includes a capacitor 32a and a solar module 32b. The capacitor 32a stores electric energy generated in the solar module 32b and supplies it to the rotating body 31. [ The solar module 32b receives the sunlight and converts it into electric energy. The main container 3 is separated from the upper plate 11 or the lower plate 13 by the vertical movement portion 4. In this case, it is ambiguous to separately supply power. Fortunately, it is sufficient if the exciter 31 is operated only at the time when the sunlight is incident, so that the sunlight can be utilized as the energy source of the rotary motor 31a. The solar module 32b may be divided into a solar cell and a frame (not shown) for supporting the solar cell. In this case as well, the solar module 32b may be installed on the outer surface of the main container 3 as in the present embodiment. The capacitor 32a is charged and discharged repeatedly to charge the electricity generated from the solar module 32b during the daytime. When the control unit 6 receives a signal indicating that the rotation of the rotating body 31 is required, And supplies it to the rotation motor 31a of the rotating body. The pollen 100 can be rotated through the capacitor 32a without a separate external power source.

The vertical moving part (4) functions to vertically raise or lower the main container (3). To this end, the vertical moving part 4 includes a driving motor 41, a wire 42 and the like. The driving motor 41 is fixed to the upper plate 11 of the main body part 1 and is controlled by the control part 6. [ The wire 42 is connected to the rotating shaft 41a of the driving motor 41 so that the wire 42 is unwound or wound according to the rotating direction of the rotating shaft 41a. 3). In addition, the vertical movement unit 4 may further include a hook-shaped fixing member such as a hook 43 formed at the lower end of the wire 42 to hook the main container 3. The wire 42 should be installed at at least two points in the main container 3 to balance it. It may be convenient to use the pulley 41b provided on the rotating shaft 41a of the driving motor 41 so that the wire 42 can be easily unwound and wound.

A plurality of light receiving sensors 5 are provided on the intermediate support 12 and the top plate 11 to measure the intensity of light incident on the room and transmit the measured intensity to the controller 6. The control section 6 can be programmed so that the vertical movement section 4 is operated only when light having a predetermined intensity or more is detected. Also, the wire 42 should be designed to be wound or unwound only to the position where the pollen placed on the main container 3 can receive the strongest light.

The control unit 6 drives the driving motor 41 of the vertical moving unit 4, the rotating motor 31a of the rotating body 31 and the water supply unit 7 according to the intensity of the light sensed by the light receiving sensor 5 The pump 72, the water supply device 74, and the like.

1 and 3, the vertical movement unit 4 operates when the light receiving sensor 5 detects light of a predetermined intensity or more and moves the pollen 100 to a position where the pollen 100 can receive the strongest light. The rotational speed of the rotating body 31 can also be controlled in conjunction with the intensity of the sensed light. That is, if the intensity of the light is strong, the rotation speed can be increased, and if it is weak, the speed can be reduced. The timing of supplying water to the flowerpot 100 can also be correlated with the intensity of the light sensed by the light receiving sensor 5. If it is advantageous to supply water to the pots before the photosynthesis is vigorously proceeded, the driving motor 41 of the water supply unit 7 is operated immediately before the vertical transfer unit 4 operates, To supply the pollen (100) with water through the water supply pipe (75).

The water supply part 7 is installed utilizing both sides of the intermediate support 12 and includes a water supply reservoir 71, a drive pump 72, a water suction pipe 73, a water supply device 74 and a water supply pipe 75 .

The water supply reservoir 71 may be installed outside the intermediate support 12, but the actual installation position may be variously applied. The water supply reservoir 71 has an opening at its upper end for supplying water from the outside to open the water supply reservoir cover 76 and supply water. When a transparent window (not shown) is installed on the front surface of the water supply reservoir 71, the amount of water can be easily confirmed from the outside.

The drive pump 72 may be connected to the control unit 6 and may be mounted on the intermediate support 12 to be fixed and the drive unit 72 may be operated by the control unit 6.

The water suction pipe 73 is connected to the drive pump 72 and the other is inserted into the water supply reservoir 71 to suck water stored in the water supply reservoir 71 by the drive pump 72 do.

One of the water supply devices 74 is connected to the drive pump 72 and the other is protruded through the intermediate support 12 and then connected to the water supply pipe 75. Accordingly, the water sucked through the water suction pipe (73) is sprayed by the water supply device (74) to the plant on the flowerpot through the water supply pipe (75).

The water supply pipe (75) may protrude more toward the pollen when water is supplied to the flowerpot, and then return to its original position when the water supply is finished. The water supply pipe 75 has a structure in which one side is connected to the water supply device 74 and the other side is opened to supply water toward the flowerpot. The water supply pipe 75 is designed so as to protrude only when water is supplied to the flowerpot 100 by the signal of the control unit 6 while normally entering the intermediate support 12 in order not to interfere with the vertical movement of the flowerpot 100 .

Finally, when the intensity of the light sensed by the light-receiving sensor 5 falls below a predetermined intensity, it is not necessary to leave the pollen 100 in a raised state any more, so it is lowered to return to the initial state.

4C is a view showing a state in which the pollen 100 is vertically lowered.
