Description

Multistage type vertical hydroponic cultivation device for year-round production of fruit and vegetable crops

The present invention relates to an apparatus for growing crops, and more particularly, by making it easy to arrange the soil in which crops are planted to suit the growth characteristics of the crops, to attract the stems of the crops, and to support the fruits of the crops, the vertical hydroponics are difficult to grow. It relates to a multi-stage vertical hydroponic cultivation system for year-round production of fruit and vegetable crops that not only enables smooth cultivation of fruit and vegetable crops including fruits, but also minimizes deterioration or loss of fruit.

Cultivation of crops, especially crops to obtain fruit, was generally carried out in the open field.

However, in Korea, the four seasons were distinct, and crop growth in the open field was not smooth during the winter season, which made it difficult to produce fruit throughout the year.

In order to solve this problem, crop cultivation using houses is increasing.

As the house is heated and cooled, the internal temperature can be kept relatively constant, so crop growth can take place regardless of the season, so that fruit can be produced year-round.

However, when crops are grown using the ground inside the house, especially in the case of gourds such as watermelons and melons, in the existing cultivation, stems crawl on the floor and grow, so more than 90% of various tasks performed by workers during the cultivation process There was a problem that not only increased the fatigue of the worker, but also caused musculoskeletal disorders as it had no choice but to proceed in a bent state.

Accordingly, there is an increasing number of cases in which crops are grown on a vertical cultivation device by installing a 'vertical cultivation device' as disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1726567, etc. inside the house.

Since the vertical cultivation device has a certain height, by placing the device on the ground and planting the crop therein, the worker can perform the work related to crop cultivation while standing upright during the crop cultivation process, thus reducing fatigue as well as musculoskeletal disorders can prevent

However, most of the conventional vertical cultivation devices are focused on making the work easier, so it is insufficient to take into consideration measures against the occurrence of various diseases and pests such as reduced growth due to salt accumulation in facility houses and the occurrence of various pests such as soil nematodes and eco-friendly cultivation desired by consumers. As it was said, there was a problem in that the productivity was lowered as well as the quality of the fruit was lowered or lost.

For the above reasons, in the field, cultivation of fruit and vegetable crops, including gourds, which was difficult for vertical hydroponic cultivation, was difficult in the field through hydroponics by making it easy to arrange the artificial soil in which the crops are planted, to attract the stems of the crops, and to support the fruit of the crops. Although attempts have been made to develop a vertical hydroponic cultivation system that not only makes it smooth, but also minimizes the deterioration or loss of fruit, the situation has not been able to obtain satisfactory results so far.

Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-1726567

The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, and by making it easy to arrange artificial soil in which crops are planted in accordance with the growth characteristics of crops, induce stems of crops, and support fruits of crops, vertical Vertical hydroponic cultivation exclusively for gourd fruits to ensure sufficient photosynthesis by improving the light receiving rate for smooth crop cultivation of fruits and vegetables including gourd, which was difficult to grow hydroponically, and to minimize the decline or loss of fruit quality. It provides a multi-stage vertical hydroponic cultivation system for year-round production of fruit and vegetable crops that can be automated, year-round production and eco-friendly cultivation through hydroponics, and can grow a variety of crops through simultaneous multi-stage cultivation, which can contribute to increasing farm household income. There is a purpose.

As described above, as the stem 110 of the crop 100 is spread over the attracting member 13, the attraction of the stem 110 of the crop 100 may be smooth.

At this time, the attracting member 13 may be of any conventional shape as long as it allows the crop 100 to easily cross the stem 110 , and for example, it may be in the form of a mesh or string.

Here, the stem 110 of the crop 100 is attracted to one side of the '∩'-shaped support frame 10 from any one of the crops 100 planted in the soil 200 as shown in FIG. 4, and adjacent thereto By being attracted to one side of the '∩'-shaped support frame 10 from the other one of the crop 100 to be used, the induction of the stem 110 of the crop 100 may be smoother.

The first support member 20 of the present invention is connected in the form of a plate between any one of the '∩'-shaped support frame 10 and the other.

Accordingly, one seating surface connected between any one of the '∩'-shaped support frame 10 and the other by the first support member 20 may be provided.

At this time, the first support member 20 is disposed at the lower end between any one of the '∩'-shaped support frame 10 and the other and the soil 200 for planting the crop 100 on the upper surface (accommodated in a box or bag) form) is seated to support the soil 200 .

On the other hand, since the first support member 20 is made of a metal or synthetic resin plate, it has stable rigidity, so that the soil 200 can be stably supported.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 3 , consecutively arranged bars 21 may be seated on the upper surface of the first support member 20 .

Therefore, the support of the soil 200 can be made more stably by the consecutively arranged bars 21 .

At this time, when the soil 200 is seated on the continuously arranged bar 21, the concave-convex plate 40 and the drip tray 50 are disposed between the continuously arranged bar 21 and the soil 200, so that the concave-convex plate 40 As the partial opening of the lower part of the soil 200 is made by the have.

The second support member 30 of the present invention is connected between any one of the '∩'-shaped support frame 10 and the other, and is connected from the first support member 20 in the form of a continuously arranged bar at the top.

Therefore, another seating surface connected between any one of the '∩'-shaped support frame 10 and the other by the second support member 30 may be provided.

At this time, the second support member 30 is disposed in the middle portion (between the top and bottom) between any one of the '∩'-shaped support frame 10 and the other, and is formed on the upper surface by the first support member 20 As the fruit 120 of the crop 100 planted on the supported soil 200 is seated, the fruit 120 of the crop 100 is supported.

Here, the fruit 120 may be seated directly on the second support member 30 as well as on a separate support member 31 .

When the fruit 120 is seated on the support member 31 , the seated state may be more stable.

At this time, the support member 31 may be any type of normal as long as it allows the fruit 120 to be stably seated, and a detailed description of the support member 31 will be omitted.

In addition, the second support member 30 is disposed in the middle between any one of the '∩'-shaped support frame 10 and the other, and the soil 200 for planting the crop 100 on its upper surface (in a box or bag). As the received form) is seated, the soil 200 may be supported.

Therefore, when planting a crop 100 different from the crop 100 planted in the soil 200 supported by the first support member 20 in the soil 200 supported by the second support member 30, Accordingly, two kinds of cultivation of the crop 100 may be made.

Meanwhile, since the second support member 30 is made of a metal pipe, it has stable rigidity, so that the fruit 120 or the soil 200 can be stably supported.

At this time, as 3-4 metal pipes are continuously arranged, the fruit 120 or the soil 200 can be stably supported as the metal pipes become relatively dense.

In addition, when the soil 200 is seated on the second support member 30 , the uneven plate 40 and the drip tray 50 are disposed between the second support member 30 and the soil 200 so that the uneven plate 40 ) as well as water discharge from the soil 200 by the water storage can be made by the drip tray (50).

The multi-stage vertical hydroponics apparatus (A) for year-round production of fruit and vegetable crops according to the present invention is installed in a house 300 where water is supplied while temperature and humidity are controlled as shown in FIG. 2 .

At this time, a plate-shaped first support member 20 is connected to the lower end between any one of the '∩'-shaped support frame 10 and the other, and the soil 200 accommodated in a box or bag in the first support member 20 . ) is seated, the soil 200 can be supported by the first support member 20 , so that the crop 100 can be grown as the crop 100 is planted on the soil 200 .

And the middle portion between any one of the '∩'-shaped support frame 10 and the other, in particular, to the upper portion of the first support member 20, a bar-shaped second support member 30 in the form of a continuous bar is connected, as shown in FIG. As shown, the fruit 120 of the crop 100 is seated on the second support member 30 , and more specifically, the fruit of the crop 100 planted in the soil 200 supported by the first support member 20 . As the 120 is seated, the fruit 120 of the crop 100 can be supported by the second support member 30, so that the sagging of the fruit 120 and the stem 110 is prevented in the process of growing the crop 100. can be

Accordingly, the cultivation of the crop 100 may be smoothly performed by the support of the soil 200 by the first support member 20 and the support of the fruit 120 of the crop 100 by the second support member 30 .

However, when the fruit 120 supported by the second support member 30, for example, a watermelon is directly exposed to sunlight for a long time, it becomes a watermelon, and thus, the commercial properties may be reduced or lost.

However, in the present invention, the upper end of the '∩'-shaped support frame 10 is formed in an arch shape to support the stem 110 of the crop 100 without sharp bending, that is, to induce the stem 110 in a gently curved form. Bar, as the upper end of the arch shape of the '∩'-shaped support frame 10 is covered with the stem 110 and leaves of the crop 100, the transmission of sunlight to the lower part is blocked to a large extent, so the second support member 30 Excessive sunlight transmission to the fruit 120 supported by the can be prevented.

Accordingly, deterioration or loss of the commercial value of the fruit 120 due to direct exposure to sunlight for a long time can be minimized.

In addition, the multi-stage vertical hydroponic cultivation device (A) for year-round production of fruit and vegetable crops according to the present invention can facilitate the cultivation of two kinds of crops 100 in particular.

That is, the second support member 30 of the present invention is disposed in the middle portion between any one of the '∩'-shaped support frame 10 and the other, more specifically, on the first support member 20 upper portion to plant the crop 100 . The second support member 30 can support the soil 200 for By planting in the soil 200 supported by the two-type crop 100 can be cultivated smoothly.

For example, when a crop 100 with a relatively long stem length to attract and a small load is planted in the soil 200 supported by the first support member 20, the fruit 120 of the corresponding crop 100 can be supported. There is no need, by planting a crop 100 with a relatively short stem length to be attracted by seating the soil 200 on the second support member 30 and thereby planting a two-type crop 100 as shown in FIG. 6 . Since the cultivation of can be made, thereby increasing the productivity of the crop (100).

At this time, the two-type crops 100 are grown on different soils 200, and unlike the case of cultivating the two-type crops 100 by changing the crops 100 in one soil 200, prevention of pests, etc. Since there is no need to disinfect the target soil 200 , it is possible to eliminate the hassle of changing the crop 100 .

Meanwhile, in the above description, only the crop 100 has been described, but more specifically, it may be a cucurbit or strawberry crop 100 .
