Description

Smart LED separation adjusting apparatus {Smart LED separation adjusting apparatus}

The present invention relates to an electric LED distance adjusting device, and more particularly, to an electric distance adjusting device for electric distance adjusting of LEDs used in indoor vertical cultivation facilities.

Light plays an important role in increasing crop growth and yield. The condition for the production of high-quality crops is the production of anabolic products following sufficient photosynthesis of crops. For this, factors affecting photosynthesis, that is, light, carbon dioxide, and moisture conditions are required. In particular, photosynthesis is greatly affected by light. In case of indoor crop production, the light required for photosynthesis using LED is not used for photosynthesis using sunlight.

Plant factory refers to a system that automatically and continuously produces crops regardless of season or location by artificially controlling environmental conditions such as light, temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration and culture medium within a controlled facility. Light, which plays a role in photosynthesis, is an important factor because it can promote plant growth by improving the efficiency of light use by 2-3 times depending on the plant factory system.

Light is an important factor in plant growth and development. High light intensity can increase the productivity of various vegetables and increase dry weight and relative growth rate. Depending on the light photoperiod, it affects not only the flowering reaction, plant growth and development, but also the height, geodesic, and chlorophyll content.

In general, the light used in plant factories is a light emitting diode (LED), which is mercury-free, environmentally friendly, lightweight, has excellent power saving, and has a long lifespan. When growing vegetables in a plant factory using a specific light quality, it has the advantage of being able to control the light quality according to the purpose of cultivation.

The prior art of the plant cultivation system of a plant factory is a structure in which plants are stacked on several layers in a multi-tiered frame, and the LED is installed on the upper part of each stage and the height is fixed. In such a system, the LED emits light of a certain intensity, but the distance from the LED becomes narrower as the plant gradually grows. Since the temperature and humidity change according to the distance of the LED, there is a problem that the plant may not grow or the leaves may not grow if the proper temperature is not formed for the plant. In addition, the closer to the LED, the higher the temperature around the plant and the deterioration of the leaves occurs. Therefore, it is necessary to control the appropriate distance between the plant and the light source.

In order to solve this problem, in the prior art, a device with increased convenience of operation method has been developed so that the distance can be controlled using an LED chain.

The chain used in the prior art document has a problem that it rusts when it comes into contact with water, and if it is not maintained continuously, friction increases and the lifespan is shortened.

In addition, there is a disadvantage in that it costs money because rust removal products used for maintenance must be used, and even if a rust removal product is used, there is a difficult problem in that the chain becomes stiff or the chain becomes dirty due to dust.
