Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a microbial growth device having a constant temperature and humidity function utilizing a thermoelectric element and a wireless control function including a light source control function,

The present invention relates to a microbial growth apparatus having a constant temperature and humidity function and a light source control function using a thermoelectric element and more particularly to a microbial growth apparatus capable of controlling temperature, humidity and illuminance in an automatic mode or a manual mode And a biological growth apparatus.

It grows a variety of benthic species including insects for education, research, agriculture and industrial purposes. In addition, the development of biotechnology has enabled small animals to grow, and clinical trials, toxicity trials, safety trials, breeding and breeding have been actively conducted. Particularly, breeding of small animals in clinical and safety experiments requires much improvement in the reliability and safety of experimental data depending on the breeding environment, and it is required to provide a pleasant breeding environment free from contamination and infection.

Regulation of the light source is also very important in breeding small animals. For example, a chicken can be stimulated by endocrine organs by light to stimulate growth. In addition, the chicken is stimulated by the optic nerve through the retina of the eye by light, and stimulates the anterior pituitary gland through the optic nerve to stimulate the follicular development and ovulation of the ovary by releasing the follicle stimulating hormone.

For this reason, artificial light is sometimes installed in small animal breeding grounds to promote growth and spawning. That is, the breeding ground can irradiate light of constant brightness to small animals distributed in the inside through artificial light for a certain period of time. At this time, the brightness and time of light to be exposed may vary depending on the animal species or age.

On the other hand, breeding of insects as small animals has become industrially important. The insect industry is nutritious enough to be recognized as a future food industry and the insects are eco-friendly. Livestock, for example, contains enormous amounts of water, land, and feed for growing cattle, while insects are eco-friendly, and the absolute advantage of water and breeding space, and about one-tenth of the feed for cattle, Can be sufficiently obtained.

If we expand the use of insects in this way, the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) expects the global market size to reach 38 trillion won in 2020 in the domestic and overseas markets that can develop into high value-added industries in the 21st century. In addition, it is expected to play an important role in the economic activities of the elderly if it is cultivated as an industry that has great expectations, especially environment friendly business, if research and investment are combined in the long run because of its high marketability.

As such, the growth / breeding of small animals is becoming more and more important in industry. However, it is confirmed that there are no companies that prepare, manufacture and sell related equipment in Korea. In Japan, there are devices with similar characteristics, but devices with pure temperature maintenance function limited to stag beetles and longevity beetles see.

In addition, the market can be divided into education market, farm household, and hobby market depending on the purpose of sale. In the case of production farms of general edible insects and industrial insects, it is expected to increase from 724 in 2015 to 1200 in 2020, The market outlook is also confirmed to be bright. As a hobby and leisure activity, the population that grows unique pets is growing in the long term due to the increase of one person.

In the future, due to the enactment of the Insect Industry Promotion Act, the demand for eco-education and the increase of farms for insect rearing are increasing due to the government's support, and the cost of leisure expenditure is increasing due to the increase of one accredited institution. The cost of purchasing pets is also included, which is an increasing trend.

However, in observation for small animals and observation for ecological education, it is difficult to control the temperature or control the light source in the past. Due to the lack of temperature and light source required for the living body, And continuous exhibition and education were often impossible.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop a growth device that has the function of constant temperature and humidity function based on the cooling and heating function utilizing the characteristics of the thermoelectric element and the function of controlling the light period required for the organism. In addition, massive rearing and long-distance control are facilitated through the configuration of mobile devices and integrated monitoring system, so that it becomes possible to deal with various demand layers (mass rearing farmhouse, general customer).
