Description

Technical Field [0001] The present invention relates to a water-circulating plant cultivating bed and plant plant having the same,

The present invention relates to a plant growth bed capable of circulating water and a plant plant having the same, and more particularly, to a plant growth plant having a plant capable of water circulation necessary for cultivation of plants A cultivation bed and a plant plant having the same.

Global warming, shortage of sunshine, frequent floods, and unusual climatic phenomena such as past and other typhoon progresses have led to unstable supply of various agricultural products and soaring prices. If climate change lasts for a long time, it will be difficult to cultivate grain for stocks such as rice, wheat, and corn through cultivation, which could lead to increased risk of food-related projects and food shortages.

Climate change is a potential risk not only to general consumers purchasing agricultural products but also to related companies such as distribution and food industry, which may hinder the stability of business. Therefore, the need for plant factories to increase production of agricultural products is increasing have.

A plant plant is a plant mass production system that produces crops by artificially controlling and controlling all the environmental conditions necessary for plant cultivation such as light, temperature, humidity, air (carbon dioxide concentration), water, nutrients, etc. within a certain facility.

Since crops are cultivated in an environment where all environmental conditions are controlled artificially, it is possible to produce crops all year round, regardless of season, environmental change, geographical location, etc., unlike cultivating greenhouses such as vinyl houses and greenhouses It is because. Second, it is possible to standardize and quantify cultivated crops. Because crops are grown and harvested from systematic production facilities, standardized crops of size and capacity can be commercialized. Third, it can have much improved market response ability compared to the conventional farming method, which is the conventional farming method.

This is because it is possible to more smoothly replace the cultivation items in response to changes in consumer demand trends, and to actively and deliberately control production volume in response to market supply and demand conditions.

In recent agricultural advanced countries, the hydroponic cultivation system has been changed from non-circulation system to circulation system, and the existing circulation hydroponic system has been applied to vinyl houses, greenhouses or buildings.

The rising opening 193 may be regarded as a kind of water outlet port formed at the upper end of the rising flow path 191.

The plant growing bed 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be formed of a steel member such as a reinforced concrete or a steel frame, and may be applied to a plant plant 200 (see FIG. 9) such as a vinyl house or a glass house .

The plant growing bed 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be used as a member for growing plants simultaneously while serving as a structure for forming respective layers in a multi-layered structure such as the plant plant 200. Therefore, the plant growing bed 100 may be formed of reinforced concrete, a steel member, or in some cases, the slab itself of the plant 200 may be formed as a plant growing bed.

The plant growing bed 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention does not need to frequently supply water necessary for plant growth because water is circulated by the structural shape of the upper frame 110 and the lower frame 150, It is not necessary to additionally provide means such as a pump for circulating the water. Hereinafter, the structure of the plant growing bed 100 will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

The upper frame 110 of the plant growing bed 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plant culturing part 120 disposed on both sides of the upward flow path part 190 to provide a plant growing space, And a water level plate 121 formed at both ends of the water leveling unit 120 to prevent water overflow.

2, it is preferable that the upper frame 110 is inclined downward so that the water supplied to the plant cultivation unit 120 can flow sufficiently downward, that is, toward the lower frame 150, It is most preferable to have a similar form.

The plant culturing part 120 is preferably formed on the upper surface or the outer surface of the upper frame 110 and has a sufficient area to allow the plant to be placed. Although not shown, a plant or a plant seedling or the like is placed in the plant cultivation part 120, and water to which the plant is supplied is flowed on the surface of the plant cultivation part 120. The water flowing into the plant cultivation part 120 flows out through a rising opening 193 formed at the upper end of the rising channel part 190.

The upward channel portion 190 is formed as a plate extending downward from the highest point of the downwardly sloping vegetative cultivation portion 120 and may be formed in a plate shape having a constant thickness. The ascending channel 190 supports the upper frame 110 in which the plant culturing unit 120 is formed and a flow channel for allowing water collected in the lower frame 150 to flow to the plant culturing unit 120 .

Referring to FIG. 2, the elevating opening 193 is formed over the entire length of the upper frame 110. When viewed from above, the elevating opening 193 may have a long slot shape. In addition, it is preferable that symmetrically formed plant cultivation portions 120 on both sides of the rising opening 193 are formed.

The water emerging from the rising opening 193 should be able to sufficiently wet the plant cultivation part 120 provided symmetrically on both sides of the rising opening 193. Therefore, most of the water from the rising opening 193 must flow to the lower frame 150. If there is water not flowing into the lower frame 150 from the water emerging from the rising opening 193, water circulating through the plant growing bed 100 may be reduced and water may be additionally supplied from the outside. In order to prevent this, a water-receiving plate 121 may be formed at both ends of the plant culture section 120 in the longitudinal direction.

The water supplying plate 121 is a member protruding from both ends in the longitudinal direction of the plant cultivation unit 120. The water supplied to the plant cultivation unit 120 is supplied to the lower frame 150 through both ends in the longitudinal direction of the plant cultivation unit 120, Can be prevented from flowing outside. The height of the aqueduct 121 is preferably the same throughout the plant culturing unit 120, but the height of the aquat plate 121 may be different. For example, the water level plate 121 near the rising opening 193 may be formed to be high and the height thereof may be made to be lower toward the bottom.

As shown in FIG. 3, the upward flow path 190 may be formed with a rising flow path 191 communicating with the lower frame 150. It is preferable that the ascending channel 191 is uniformly formed over the entire upper channel section 190 along the longitudinal direction of the plant culture section 120. The upward flow path 191 is formed not only as a whole but also as a plurality of divided flow paths. For example, it may be formed in a shape similar to the hollow tube 161 shown in Fig.

The lower end of the ascending channel 191 is communicated with the hollow tube 161 formed in the lower frame 150 and the upper end thereof is a rising opening 193. The water passing through the ascending channel 191 must flow from the lower side to the upper side. In order for the water to rise smoothly, the total volume or the size of the ascending channel 191 must be larger than the total volume or size of the uplifting channel 191 by combining the plant culture section 120 and the hollow tube 161 The volume or size of the flow path should be larger. That is, it is preferable to form the respective flow passages so that the rate at which water flows into the lower end of the upflow channel 191 is faster than the rate at which water fills up the upflow channel 191.

Meanwhile, the upper frame 110 may be provided with a light collecting plate or light source supplying means for collecting sunlight, and a solar generator, a battery or an emergency generator for converting the collected light into electric energy may be installed. Thereby providing sufficient light to the plant cultivation unit 120 to further speed up the growth rate of the plant.

A plurality of sponges or nonwoven fabrics (not shown) and the like, which are well absorbed by water, may be placed on the plant cultivation part 120 in the plant cultivation part 120 of the upper frame 110 And the plant may be placed so that the roots of the plant can reach the sponge or the nonwoven. That is, the plant cultivation unit 120 may further include a humidifying member (not shown) such as a sponge or a non-woven fabric that can absorb the water and increase the time for exposing the plant to water.

3, the plant culturing unit 120 is formed to be inclined downward so that water can flow from the upper end of the upflow channel unit 190, that is, from the upward opening 193 toward the lower frame 150, So that the water flows naturally.

FIG. 4 is a modification of the plant growing bed 100 shown in FIG. 3. The upper frame 110 has a stepped shape, which is inclined to allow water to flow through the lower frame 150. In the case of the upper frame 110 shown in FIG. 4, the plant culturing unit 120 can be formed in a planar manner, and the operator can stably climb up the upper frame 110 to collect plants. It is preferable that the area of the horizontally formed portion is larger than the area of the vertical portion in order to secure a large arrangement space of plants.

The shape of the upper frame 110 or the plant cultivating portion 120 is not limited to the case of FIGS. 3 and 4, and the plant can be mounted and the water from the rising opening 193 can pass through the lower lower frame 150, It can be a shape that can flow to. As described above, the upper frame 110 can be formed into any shape as long as water has a shape that can be flowed from the upper side to the lower side under the influence of gravity.

5 is a perspective view of the lower frame 150. Fig. As shown in FIG. 5, the lower frame 150 is a flat plate-shaped member, unlike the upper frame 110. The lower frame 150 serves not only to fix and support the upper frame 110, but also to serve as a water collecting device for collecting the water flowing down from the upper frame 110.

The lower frame 150 includes a water collecting part 170 for collecting water flowing down from the upper frame 110 and a water collecting part 170 for collecting water collected in the water collecting part 170 to the upflow channel part 190. [ A protruding end portion 160 formed at both ends of the body portion 160 to prevent water collected in the water collecting portion 170 from escaping to the outside, (180).

The lower frame 150 collects the water flowing from the upper frame 110 and can send the collected water to the upflow channel unit 190 so that the water can be raised again. Also, the lower frame 150 may bear the load of the upper frame 110.

3 to 5, the water collecting part 170 collects the water flowing down from the upper frame 110, and sends the collected water to the hollow tube 161. In order to collect as much water as possible from the upper frame 110, it is preferable that the collecting part 170 is recessed at a lower angle than the upper surface of the body part 160. The recess depth of the water collecting part 170 is determined in consideration of the size of the hollow tube 161 and is preferably as deep as possible so that water can be sufficiently collected. As shown in FIG. 5, the collecting part 170 may be formed over the entire length of the lower frame 150.

The lower end of the upper frame 110 may be positioned at one side of the upper edge of the collecting part 170. By forming the lower end of the water collecting part 170 and the upper frame 110 as close as possible, the path of the water flowing down from the upper frame 110 into the water collecting part 170 can be shortened, A larger amount of water can be introduced into the tank. A part of the water flowing down from the upper frame 110 is separated from the lower end of the upper frame 110 and the body part between the lower end of the upper frame 110 and the collecting part 170 160 so that the amount of water collected in the collecting part 170 can be reduced.

The water collected from the upper frame 110 is collected in the water collecting part 170 and the depth of the water collecting part 170 is adjusted to the height of the protruding end part 180 or the height of the body part 160). ≪ / RTI > In other words, the water collecting part 170 may be formed to a depth sufficient to collect water.

Protruding ends 180 may protrude from both ends of the body frame 160 of the lower frame 150 in the width direction. The protruding end portion 180 is a portion having a function similar to that of the water level plate 121 of the upper frame 110. That is, in order to prevent the water collected in the water collecting part 170 from flowing out of the lower frame 150 or to prevent the overflowing water from the water collecting part 170 from flowing out of the body part 160, The protruding end portions 180 may protrude from both ends in the width direction.

The protruding end portion 180 is formed to protrude from the upper frame 110 to prevent the water flowing from the lower frame 150 to the water collecting portion 170 from flowing out of the lower frame 150. [ The height H2 is formed to be equal to or higher than the height H1 of the body portion 160 and formed to be larger than the depth d2 of the water collecting portion 170. [ 3 and 4, the upper end of the protruding end portion 180 should be formed higher than the upper surface of the body portion 160 or the upper end of the water collecting portion 170 so that water collected in the water collecting portion 170 160 to the outside.

5 and 6, a hollow tube 161 for passing the water collected in the water collecting part 170 to the upward flow path part 190 may be formed in the body part 160. As shown in FIG. A plurality of hollow tubes 161 may be formed in the width direction of the body portion 160 from the collecting portion 170 to the upward flow path portion 190. have.

The hollow tube 161 is a flow path for sending water collected in the collecting part 170 to the rising flow path 191 of the upper frame 110. Therefore, the water collected in the water collecting part 170 should be sent as much as possible to the upward flow path 191. 6 (b), it is preferable that the hollow tube 161 is formed to be inclined downward toward the center portion of the body portion 160. [ Since the hollow tube 161 is formed to be inclined downward by a predetermined angle? Toward the center in the width direction of the body part 160, the water collected in the water collecting part 170 flows into the hollow tube 161, It can be easily flowed in.

Since the hollow tube 161 is inclined downward, when the water in the water collecting part 170 flows into the hollow tube 161 all at once, the water pressure applied to the rising flow path 191 becomes large, ) The water in it may rise better.

The hollow tube 161 is not limited to a plurality of circular tubes crossing the body portion 160 as shown in FIG. 6, but may be formed in other shapes. For example, a hollow tube may be formed in various forms as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (b), the hollow tube 161 may be provided so as to be offset toward the lower end of the collecting part 170. Since the hollow tube 161 is biased toward the lower end of the water collecting part 170, water remaining in the water collecting part 170 can be reduced without flowing into the hollow tube 161. As shown in FIG. 7 (c), the hollow tube 161 may have various shapes such as a semicircle, an ellipse, and a rectangle as well as a circular shape.

The water can be introduced into the hollow pipe 161 when the water moves from the water collecting part 170 to the hollow pipe 161. In this case, 7 (a), (b), and (c).

The hollow tube 161 shown in FIG. 7 (d) has a larger hollow tube 161 at the center of the body 160 than both ends of the body 160, This is because as much water as possible flows out through the rising opening 193 in the middle portion of the upper frame 110 when water is supplied to the plant cultivation part 120 again through the rising opening 193, 120 so that the water is spread well.

A channel connecting portion 166 communicating with the hollow pipe 161 and the upward flow path 191 may be formed at the middle portion of the body portion 160 in the width direction. Referring to FIG. 6, the flow path connecting portion 166 may be formed in a lengthwise direction in a middle portion in the width direction of the body portion 160. The channel connection portion 166 may be formed at a portion corresponding to the lower end of the rising channel portion 190 of the upper frame 110. The channel connecting portion 166 may be formed in a shape similar to that of the water collecting portion 170 or may be formed to communicate with the hollow tube 161 from the upper surface of the body portion 160 without forming a depression. The shape or structure of the channel connecting portion 166 is preferably determined in consideration of the flow rate of water flowing into the hollow tube 161.

It is preferable that the depth d1 of the channel connecting portion 166 is formed to be deeper than the depth d2 of the water collecting portion 170. [ The hollow pipe 161 may be formed so as to be inclined downward sufficiently when the channel connecting portion 166 is formed deeper than the catching portion 170.

A support member 163 for preventing the movement of the upper frame 110 or maintaining the engaged state of the upper frame 110 and the lower frame 150 is formed on the upper surface of the body portion 160 . The support member 163 may protrude from the upper surface of the body portion 160, but may be formed in any shape as long as it can support the upper frame 110. For example, it may be formed in a groove shape in which both ends of the upper frame 110 are fitted.

The upward flow path 191 and the flow path connection portion 166 can be brought into precise alignment by forming the support member 163 on the upper surface of the body portion 160. The upward flow path 191, Water which is not introduced into the water tank can be reduced.

8 is a flowchart illustrating a water circulation structure of a plant culture bed according to an embodiment of the present invention. The ascending channel portion 190 and the hollow tube 161 may be connected to each other so as to communicate with each other to form a closed circulating flow path. As shown in FIG. 8, the plant growing bed 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can circulate water without a separate water circulating means such as a pump. This is because the water pressure of the water collected in the water collecting part 170 flowing down from the upper frame 110 is sufficient to push up the water in the upward flow path 191.

Meanwhile, the plant growing bed 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be applied to a plant plant. When applied to a plant plant, the plant growing bed 100 itself can form each layer of a plant plant .

At this time, the column flow path can communicate with the rising flow path 191. And an interlayer flow path 230 for guiding water supplied from the water storage means 210 upward. The interlayer flow path 230 can communicate with the upflow channel 191 of the plant growing bed 100 provided in each layer.

A valve (240) for opening and closing the movement of water may be formed in the inter-layer flow path (230) or the column flow path.

The water supply means 220 may include not only water but also fertilizers or nutrients so that plants can grow well.

At least one of the plant growing bed 100 and the inter-layer flow path 230 or the column flow path may be provided with a sensor for sensing the level or the quantity of the water supplied thereto, and the water supplying means 220 or the valve (240) may operate in conjunction with the sensor. For example, when it is determined that the sensor has supplied a sufficient amount of water, the valve 240 is closed and the water storage means 210 and the water supply means 220 are connected to the plant growing bed 100 The supply of water can be stopped. This can be performed independently for each layer by interlocking with the valve 240 installed in the inter-layer flow path 230. Such a valve 240 can be automatically adjusted by a controller (not shown) or the like according to a preset program, which will be extremely obvious in the related art.

When the plant plant 200 is operated for the first time, there will not be enough water in the plantation bed 100 of each floor. As described above, at the time of initial operation of the plant 200, water is artificially supplied from the outside, sufficient water is supplied to the plant growing bed 100 of each layer, and water supplied to the plant growing bed 100 can be circulated You have to make a state.

The water stored in the water storage means 210 can be supplied to the plant growing bed 100 by the water supplying means 220 during the initial operation. At this time, since the plant growing bed 100 of each layer is connected to each other by the columns 260 and the inter-layer flow path 230, even if water is supplied to only one plant growing bed 100, Water can be supplied to the plant growing bed 100 of the plant. The water supply process can be controlled by the sensor.

The plant plant 200 is provided with a door 250 through which an operator can enter and leave the plant plant 200, thereby facilitating all the operations for allowing plants to grow well.

In addition, the plant plant 200 may have an outer wall or an outer wall. In the absence of an outer wall, rainwater can be directly supplied to the plant growing bed 100. When removing the outer wall, it is preferable to remove the outer wall of at least two of the four outer walls.
