In practice, however, it is impossible to supply a predetermined amount of water in accordance with the characteristics of each kind and plant, due to the constant amount of water supplied to each of the stacked cultivation vessels, resulting in a great bad effect on plant growth, Of the plant can not be cultivated.

Also, since the cultivating containers stacked in multiple stages have an assembling structure in which they are integrally fixed as a support, there is a problem in that flexibility in assembling and disposing them at an arbitrary height according to the indoor space is lost. In addition, the circulating water is irrigated to the bottom of each cultivation vessel, thereby failing to appropriately supply water to the mouths or stems of the plants, thereby causing a problem that the visual liveliness due to flower cultivation is reduced. In addition, when the nutrient solution is supplied excessively, the plants do not grow normally, and in the case of using the rubber water supply pipe, there is a problem that the water supply pipe is twisted by the rotation, and the device is broken. Patent Document 1 discloses a " plant cultivation apparatus capable of rotating automatic watering ".

In this case, the third nutrient solution supply pipe formed along the longitudinal direction of the port may be supplied with the nutrient solution evenly throughout the soil inside the pot.

Such nutrient solutions may even inhibit plant growth if excessive amounts are supplied. Therefore, it is necessary to control the amount of the nutrient solution not to be supplied to a certain amount within each port. The amount of the nutrient solution can be adjusted by the discharge valve 63 formed in the filter 62 and the valve presser plate 21 formed in the first liquid absorber 20 when a predetermined amount or more of nutrient solution is supplied into each port.

First, the filter is formed to penetrate the inside and the outside of the port. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the filter is formed in a different structure from the upper part to the lower part. First, the upper part of the filter is located inside the port. In order to prevent the soil from falling down through the opening of the bottom surface of the port formed for penetrating the filter, the soil is not discharged as shown in FIG. 7 but only the nutrient solution is discharged to the outside And includes a plurality of open portions 62a. Thus, the nutrient solution flows downward through the upper part of the filter located inside the port. As shown in FIG. 8, a spring is formed in the lower part of the filter so as to be able to return to the original state when the pressure is received by the valve pressing plate,

At this time, when the discharge valve exposed to the outside of each port rotating by the rotation of the central rotation axis comes to a position where the height is the lowest, it is contacted with the valve press plate formed on the upper end of the first liquid- do. When the outlet valve is pressed by the contact, the nutrient solution collected at the upper part of the filter is discharged to the lower part. The discharged nutrient solution is introduced into the first nutrient solution reservoir. Since the first nutrient solution reservoir may not contain too much nutrient solution, it further includes a connection pipe 23 so that nutrient solution can be fed back to the second nutrient solution reservoir if necessary. With this system, the nutrient solution is circulated in the order of the second nutrient solution bottle - the third nutrient solution bottle - the first nutrient solution bottle - the second nutrient solution bottle, thereby saving the nutrient solution and helping the growth of the plant.

When the power is supplied to the rotary motor 40 by the operation of the control unit, the chain gear 41 connected to the rotary motor is moved. Then, the chain connected to the chain gear is rotated, It will be.

1, the second nutrient solution supply pipe is connected to one of the second rotary part formed on the left port support vane and the second rotary part formed on the right port support vane, The second nutrient solution supply pipe may be connected to only one of the left port support vane and the right port support vane so that the nutrient solution can be supplied to the first port and the second nutrient solution supply pipe connected to the adjacent port. In this case, adjacent ports are formed in the left and right sides of the second nutrient solution supply line, respectively, to supply the nutrient solution.

However, the second nutrient solution supply pipe has a left second nutrient solution supply pipe 55a for supplying the nutrient solution to the second rotary part formed in the left port support wing and a second nutrient solution supply pipe 55b for feeding the nutrient solution, And a second right nutrient solution supply pipe 55b for supplying a nutrient solution to the second rotary part formed in the first right nutrient solution supply pipe and the second right nutrient solution supply pipe, have. That is, the second nutrient solution supply pipe is installed on both the left and right sides of each port, and the nutrient solution may be supplied from either side if necessary, or the nutrient solution may be supplied from one side only by selecting from the left side and the right side.
