Description

Hydroponics indoor moss cultivation system {MOSS CULTIVATION APPARATUS}

The present invention relates to a hydroponic indoor moss cultivation apparatus, and more particularly, to a hydroponic indoor moss cultivation apparatus capable of promoting smooth growth indoors by automatically providing light and water.

As is well known, moss refers to all silver plants belonging to the bryophytes, and the distinction between leaves and stems is not clear and it is a lower plant without vascular bundles and grows in old trees, rocks, or wetlands.

Such moss is widely used as a material for toothing when packing wild ginseng or ginseng, or for decoration of flowerpots or indoor landscaping.

And moss is preferably used as a green plant because it is resistant to climate change, grows without soil, has a light weight, and is mostly unnecessary.

On the other hand, the moss mat is formed in the form of a mat in which moss grows, such as a so-called grass mat. In consideration of handling such as construction, the moss mat has moss entangled in a square shape of about 40 cm to 60 cm, and the buds of moss (ear shape) has grown.

In addition, the moss mat is a net woven with resin fibers, a resin filament formed by entangled resin filaments to form a plate-shaped body, or a resin body made by injection molding or a frame of a resin body made by injection molding, etc. It is manufactured through a curing process of propagation and elongation of the moss field.

As a prior art related to such a moss mat, Republic of Korea Patent No. 10-1127187 (registration date March 08, 2012) 'moss planting plate' is disclosed.

In the prior art, a mat of a moss plant in the form of a mat is coated and fixed on the roof or wall of a building, a sidewall of a road, or a lakeside of a river, and is used as a green plant.

As a prior art for cultivating moss as described above, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1123881 (registration date February 28, 2012) 'Water Moss Cultivator' and Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2008-0025082 (published date 2008) March 19) 'A moss plant cultivation machine and a method for curing moss plants using the same' are disclosed.

However, in the above-mentioned prior art, the cultivation process is cumbersome because the worker must provide the light and water necessary for the growth of moss one by one at an appropriate time. There was a problem that could not be addressed.

In addition, the above-described prior art has a problem in that the cultivation efficiency is significantly lowered because a large number of moss per unit area cannot be cultivated.
