Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a multipurpose cropping apparatus capable of hydroponically cultivating crops,

More particularly, the present invention relates to an apparatus for cultivating crops, and more particularly, to an apparatus and a method for cultivating crops, It is possible to easily change the cropping conditions according to the growth conditions of the changed crop without removing the existing facilities and to reduce the workload of the worker by eliminating the work of fixing the anchoring of the ground to the ground, The present invention relates to a multi-purpose crop cultivation apparatus capable of shortening the construction work time and allowing hydroponics to be readily self-constructed by the aged and the elderly.

Generally, crops such as strawberries, tomatoes, lettuce, etc. are grown in young potted seedlings that have runner-runnets in their mother-of-pearl, and grown to some extent in this pot by planting them on the floor of the house floor or on a separate pedestal. .

For example, strawberries are low-growing crops that must be placed at a distance of about 1 meter from the ground, and crops such as tomatoes and paprika should be low Because it grows, the height of the bed should be relatively low.

On the other hand, the method of cultivating crops planted on the floor of the house is very likely to spread various infectious diseases, and since all the crop cultivation work is performed while the worker is in a state of lying down, the labor intensity is high and the harvesting and cultivation period is long It is a tendency that a cultivation method in which a bed on which crops are planted is placed on a pedestal installed at a certain height and a worker performs a cultivation work in a comfortable posture has been developed and spreading.

In the cultivation of such crops, a pedestal is installed at a certain height using a metal pipe in a plastic house, and a bed and a port are installed at the upper end of the pedestal to produce seedlings or cultivate crops.

The pedestal is vertically anchored by a lower end of a support having a predetermined length and is fixed at a predetermined distance on a floor surface. The cross bar is fixed by welding or other clamps across the support, And then a bed or a port is placed thereon.

However, in such a conventional crop cultivation apparatus, it is necessary to repeatedly perform an operation of weaving a plurality of support pipes together by vertically and horizontally aligning the two support pipes at a certain depth by inserting two support pipes at the bottom surface, Therefore, there is a problem that the workload of the operator is excessively consumed during the initial installation work of the facility in the house, and the entire working time is prolonged.

Especially, when the construction work for setting up the cultivation facility is carried out between May and September including the cold weather in summer, the labor intensity is very high and the labor intensity of the construction is high due to a lot of related materials for construction, .

In addition, when the cultivated crop is switched, there is a problem that the existing working bed is removed in accordance with the growing condition of the crop, and the work time is lengthened and the labor intensity is increased in the course of reinstallation according to the characteristics of the crop.

In other words, in order to grow tomatoes in a strawberry growing farmhouse, it is necessary to dismantle the existing bed and re-install the low-height bed in accordance with the cultivation of the tomato crop.

In addition, the entire length of the pedestal installed on the upper end of the strut and the bed loaded thereon must necessarily maintain the horizontal state so that the water supplied from the outside can be uniformly supplied to the crop planted on the bed without being biased.

However, in the conventional crop cultivation apparatus, since the height of the upper ends of the plurality of columns installed vertically on the bottom surface is not uniform and uneven, the horizontal state of the pedestal and the bed installed at the upper end of the column is poor, And there was a problem that crops were partly damaged.

Accordingly, in order to maintain the horizontal state of the bed and the pedestal uniformly with respect to the entire length of the house, the worker must construct the pillar while confirming the horizontal state for each section.
