Description

Cabinet type crop cultivation device and crop cultivation method using the same {Cabinet Type Crops Cultivation Apparatus and Method for Crops Cultivation Using The Same}

The present invention relates to a cabinet-type crop cultivation device and a crop cultivation method using a cabinet-type crop cultivation device,

Through a cabinet-type cultivation device with an integrated storage space and a cultivation unit that arranges pots in different arrangements inside to enable liquid cultivation and at the same time allows movement of pots during the cultivation process, It is about a technology that eliminates the inconvenience of the crop cultivation process and makes it possible to easily cultivate crops by enabling sowing, germination, seedling, and cultivation of crops all in one place.

In general, hydroponics refers to a method of cultivating crops using water or nutrient solution, excluding soil, which is the basis for crop cultivation.

Among them, liquid-colored hydroponic cultivation is a method in which the roots of crops are placed submerged in a liquid medium, that is, a culture medium, and the crop growth area, where crop growth occurs, is grown on a bed.

Submerged hydroponic cultivation is divided into floating, liquid level reduction, and aeration methods depending on the oxygen supply method, and is also divided into tank and tankless methods depending on the presence or absence of a tank. When using a water tank, the culture medium in the tank is supplied to the cultivation bed through a water supply pipe by a pump, and when the water level exceeds a certain level, it is returned to the tank through a drainage pipe and circulates. In the case of the tankless method, the culture medium moves between beds.

Liquid hydroponic cultivation has the advantage that a significant amount of culture solution is maintained in the bed, so the change in nutrient solution temperature around the roots according to temperature is small, and the root temperature can be easily managed by only controlling the temperature of the culture solution. In addition, it has the advantage of being able to stably manage the concentration, composition, and acidity of the culture medium, and since the culture medium is always maintained, the plants are not easily damaged even if the pump that circulates the culture medium stops due to a power outage or breakdown.

However, conventional liquid hydroponic cultivation requires maintaining a large amount of nutrient solution for cultivation at all times, so the capacity of the nutrient solution tank or bed is inevitably increased. Therefore, a somewhat large cultivation space is required, and cultivation of large quantities of crops is required. There was a problem that large costs were incurred in equipping equipment or space for liquid hydroponic cultivation.

As a prior art regarding hydroponic cultivation,

There is Korean registered patent 10-1369732, “Indoor hydroponic device.”

The indoor hydroponic device has a port insertion port with a plurality of through holes formed at an angle along the outer circumferential surface of the hydroponic cultivation unit made of a cylindrical body, and a pot in which a plant is planted is inserted into the port insertion port so that the plant is planted along the outer circumferential surface of the hydroponic cultivation unit, It is equipped with a dripping water storage unit to sufficiently supply moisture to the plants planted in the pot, allowing the cultivation of a large and diverse number of plants in a small space, thereby maximizing the utilization of narrow indoor space and also allowing a large amount of water to be grown in a small space. It is an invention that not only makes the cultivation of plants possible, but also maximizes the state of development of a large number of plants.

In addition, Korean Patent No. 10-1251203 “Plant cultivation device using artificial light”,

The spraying method of nutrient solution through a nozzle promotes plant growth by facilitating the supply of oxygen to the roots of plants according to the use of a small amount of nutrient solution. Maintenance is easy as no soil or artificial soil is used, and the nutrient solution storage part is separated. This invention relates to a plant cultivator using artificial light that is hygienic as it is easy to clean and can maximize the growth of plants by periodically providing artificial light with a wavelength beneficial to plant growth.

However, these prior technologies present technologies that enable crop cultivation without land using hydroponic cultivation, but in order to grow crops within a limited space, movement of the crops after planting is impossible. I had a problem with that.

This problem is similar to the general crop cultivation technology of growing crops using soil, and has a structure in which crops are grown with their planting positions fixed until harvest after planting, which is similar to the conventional crop cultivation technology using soil. As with crop cultivation, there was the problem of maintaining crop planting intervals in consideration of crop size at the time of harvest.

It includes a cover 22 that forms one or more port holes 221 into which the port 100, which is the basic base of the crop, is inserted and mounted.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the gutter 21 has a 'U'-shaped cross-section and extends in one direction for a predetermined length (less than the length of the storage space inside the cabinet housing), and has side walls (not shown) at both ends of the gutter 21. It is formed to form a space inside to accommodate the nutrient solution or water necessary for crop growth. Accordingly, the gutter 21 functions as a bed used in liquid-liquid cultivation, and functions to continuously supply nutrient solution or water to the pot 100 to be mounted on the top of the gutter 21. In other words, the gutter 21 is injected with nutrient solution or water, and the cover 22 with the port 100 inserted thereon is mounted and fixed on the top of the gutter 21 with the nutrient solution or water filled therein, thereby forming the port 100. It is possible to cultivate nutrient solution by continuously supplying nutrient solution or water.

As shown in FIG. 6, the gutter 21 may further include a support shaft extending longitudinally along the center to strengthen the support structure of the cover 22. However, the shape of the gutter 21 is not limited to this, and may be of any shape that can accommodate and store nutrient solution or water therein and secure the cover 22 on the top. For example, the gutter 21 may have a rectangular cross-section, have an open top, and extend a predetermined length in one direction. In one embodiment of the present invention, the gutter 21 may have one or more legs, protrusions, or protrusions installed on its bottom to facilitate mounting when stored.

Meanwhile, the cover 22 arranges and fixes the pots 100, which are the base for crop cultivation, in a predetermined arrangement, and is mounted and fixed on the upper part of the gutter 21, thereby allowing the liquid-type cultivation of the pot 100. It is a component that makes it possible. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pot 100 is made in the shape of a cup with one or more drainage holes formed on the bottom, a medium is stored inside it, and seeds are sown in the medium for germination, seedling, and cultivation. It becomes the base.

As shown, the port 100 is inserted downward from the top of the cover 22, and at this time, the lower part of the port 100 penetrates the port hole 221 of the cover 22 and is located below it. Enters the inside of the arranged gutter (21). Accordingly, when the insertion of the pot 100 is completed, the lower part of the pot 100 is submerged under the surface of the nutrient solution or water contained in the gutter 21, or the roots of the crop grown in the pot 100 are submerged under the surface of the water. The nutrient solution or water can be supplied by being arranged to be submerged below the surface of the nutrient solution or water contained in the gutter 21.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the port 100 is described below on the basis that the middle portion has a square cross-section, and the port hole 221 has a corresponding square shape, but is not limited to this shape. .

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cover 22 is composed of four covers 22a to 22d in which portholes 221 of different arrangements are formed, and one cover 22a to 22d is formed according to the crop growth stage of the pot 100. It is configured to move the port 100 to another cover.

Figure 7 is a perspective view showing covers including different arrangements according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

As shown, the cover 22 is a germination cover 22a (FIG. 7a) in which portholes 221 of the first arrangement are formed, and a seedling cover 22b (FIG. 7b) in which portholes 221 of the second arrangement are formed. , a primary cultivation cover 22c (FIG. 7c) on which portholes 221 of the third arrangement are formed, and a secondary cultivation cover 22d (FIG. 7d) on which portholes 221 of the fourth arrangement are formed. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the arrangement of the covers has an arrangement structure in which the number of portholes 221 per area of the cover of the same size decreases and the distance between the portholes 221 increases from the first to the fourth array. .

Therefore, the cabinet-type crop cultivation apparatus of the present invention can respond to the growth stage of the crop being grown simply by replacing the cover 22 or moving the pot 100 to another cover 22. This is optimized according to the growth stage of the crop in the arrangement of the portholes 221 included in the germination cover (22a), seedling cover (22b), first cultivation cover (22c), and second cultivation cover (22d). This is achieved by matching the arrays.

In other words, the first to fourth arrangements of the germination covers (22a) to the second cultivation covers (22d) correspond to the growth stage of the target crop, and at this time, from the first arrangement to the fourth arrangement. As the number of potholes 221 per area of the same cover gradually decreases and the distance between potholes 221 gradually increases, the planting interval can be increased according to the crop growth stage.

As a result, the operator can respond to the growth process of the crop simply by replacing the cover 22 or moving the pot 100 from one cover to another arrangement of covers, and the interval between crops can be adjusted to the cabinet housing ( 1) By being easily adjustable within the limited space inside, interference between adjacent crops can be prevented to promote crop growth or increase crop cultivation efficiency.

Hereinafter, the covers shown in FIG. 7 will be described in detail.

The germination cover 22a (FIG. 7a) is a cover 22 targeting the pot 100 in which seeds are sown.

As described above, the cabinet-type crop cultivation device of the present invention is an invention that considers not only crop cultivation through one device but also sowing of seeds to obtain seedlings, and the process of obtaining seedlings through germination of the sown seeds is carried out. This takes place in the germination cover (22a).

The germination cover 22a is a cover with the densest arrangement among the four covers presented in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, in which the pot where the seeds are sown is arranged in a dense arrangement (first arrangement) with other pots. This is because interference does not occur between adjacent ports, and as a result, all ports can sufficiently receive the light irradiated from the lighting unit 4, which will be described later, during the germination stage even when the spacing between plants is narrow due to the dense arrangement.

In addition, the dense first arrangement of the germination covers 22a takes into account the normal growth criteria in the germination stage after seed sowing, for example, the process of thinning out objects that failed to germinate or germinated below the standard size, etc., so that the unit area It is configured so that the largest number of ports (100) can be placed per (area of the cover).

The seedling cover 22b (FIG. 7b) is a cover 22 for seedlings that have germinated in the pot 100 placed in the cultivation unit 2 to which the germination cover 22a is applied.

More specifically, the seedling cover 22b is such that the pots 100 grown in the cultivation unit 2 including the germination cover 22a germinate normally after a predetermined cultivation period and are selected as normal seedlings. Targets port (100). At this time, pots 100 that do not germinate or do not meet normal growth standards are selected and excluded.

Therefore, the seedling cover 22b includes a second arrangement of portholes whose number is reduced and the distance between them is increased compared to the first arrangement of the germination cover 22a to correspond to the growth of normal seedlings.

The primary cultivation cover 22c (FIG. 7c) is a cover 22 for crops grown through the pot 100 placed in the cultivation unit 2 to which the seedling cover 22b is applied. Depending on the growth over a predetermined period of time in the seedling cover 22b, the pots 100 are targeted at the point where crop growth begins in earnest.

It is difficult to expect normal growth of crops at this point because interference occurs between crop growth only through the arrangement (second arrangement) of the portholes 221 of the seedling cover 22b. Therefore, in order to increase the growth efficiency of crops, it is necessary to maintain a wider distance from other pots 100 to widen the planting interval. Accordingly, the primary cultivation cover (22c) includes a third arrangement of portholes 221 in which the distance between the portholes 221 is wider than that of the second arrangement of the seedling cover (22b) and the number of which is further reduced.

Therefore, the cultivation of crops can be carried out in earnest through the cultivation unit 2 to which the primary cultivation cover 22c is applied, and at this stage, the distance between the portholes 221 is adjusted to provide sufficient amount of light required for crop growth. It is increased compared to the previous stage (seedling cover (22b)). Therefore, the spacing between crops is increased, interference due to the growth of crops does not occur between adjacent pots in the primary cultivation stage, and all crops are illuminated by the light emitted from the lighting unit 4, which will be described later, in the primary cultivation stage. It is fully acceptable.

The secondary cultivation cover 22d (FIG. 7d) is a cover 22 for crops that have been grown for a predetermined period of time and have undergone primary cultivation through the cultivation unit 2 to which the primary cultivation cover 22c is applied, It targets crops that will undergo final growth before harvest.

Since the crops at this stage grow the largest, the efficiency of the arrangement (third arrangement) of the portholes 221 of the primary cultivation cover 22c may be reduced. Therefore, by including a fourth arrangement in which the distance between the portholes 221 is greatly increased and the number of portholes 221 is reduced compared to the primary cultivation cover 22c, the growth efficiency of crops is maximized.

Therefore, as described above, the spacing between crops is arranged to be largest through the secondary cultivation cover 22d with the largest distance between the portholes 221, and interference due to crop growth in adjacent pots is prevented in the secondary cultivation stage.
