Description

{APPARATUS FOR CULTIVATION OF PLANT}

The present invention relates to a plant cultivator.

More specifically, it relates to a plant cultivation machine that includes a plurality of cultivation bins for cultivating plants and is configured to manage the cultivation bins in a rotational manner.

Plants are generally grown on the ground.

These plants were initially intended for ornamental purposes, but in recent years, they have been cultivated in places where it is difficult to apply soil, such as indoors, for consumption, such as lettuce. This is not a problem if the scale is small, but if the scale is large, it becomes realistically difficult. , various technologies are being developed to overcome these problems.

For example, Patent Registration No. 10-2062495 describes a plant cultivation device.

The technology includes a plant cultivation apparatus, which includes an upper frame combining two horizontal members and two vertical members in a quadrangular structure on the upper side; A post frame coupled to four lower corners of the upper frame to vertically support the upper frame; a support frame coupled to the lower side of the post frame to form a lattice structure with a width narrower than that of the upper frame; a support unit coupled to the plant cultivation device to support the stem or branch of the plant; The invention relates to a plant cultivation device comprising a support plate that is mounted on the upper surface of the horizontal member and the vertical member of the upper frame and in the middle of the vertical member of the upper frame and is joined by fitting the upper side of the support.

As another example, Patent Publication No. 10-2020-0111382 describes a home plant cultivation device.

The above technology relates to a home plant cultivation device that can maintain an optimal growing environment by automatically controlling water supply, lighting, temperature, and humidity, and can be recycled by circulating water. The frame is vertically and horizontally combined to create a lower side. A water supply space is formed in the top, and a cultivation space is formed on the upper side. A water tank is installed inside the water supply space, and a pump is provided inside the water tank. A water supply pipe is connected to the pump and extends to the cultivation space, The inside of the cultivation space is provided with a basket filled with gravel and soil, and the top cover of the cultivation space is equipped with a removable top cover for LED lighting.

Therefore, as it is manufactured for home use, it creates the optimal cultivation environment for various types of plants by controlling water supply through automatic control, temperature and humidity control through air circulation, and various types of lighting and light amount control through LED lighting, thereby creating the optimal cultivation environment for various types of plants as much as possible in a small space. It has the effect of increasing yield. In addition, by recycling the water discharged from the basket by circulating it with a pump, the loss of nutrients contained in the soil can be prevented and it has the advantage of being eco-friendly.

However, the above technologies, including the prior art, cannot take into account the area efficiency of the space occupied when preparing for the recultivation of plants.

Therefore, the cultivation pipe 60 can freely rotate while coupled to the connection pipe 50, and as a result, when the position of the cultivation pipe 60 is rotated by the power of the motor 20, the cultivation pipe (60) can rotate freely. 60) can be positioned below the connection pipe 50 at all times.

In addition, since a plurality of open areas 611 are formed in the body 61 of the cultivation trough 60, plants can be planted and cultivated through the open areas 611.

In addition, each of the one end connection plate 62 and the other end connection plate 63 is provided with a communication port (not shown) that can communicate with the body 61. The communication port formed in either connection plate is connected to the body ( 61) It functions as an outlet for discharging internal water, and the communication hole formed in the other connection plate functions as a supply port for supplying water into the body 61. Each of these may further include a valve or stopper to determine opening and closing.

At this time, in the case of a communication port that performs the supply port function, when the redistribution port 60 is located at the lower end 12 of the guide plate 10 by the rotation of the wire chain drum 30, the supply port function is performed. Water is allowed to be supplied into the body 61 through the communication port.

At this time, in order to supply the water contained in the water tank 1, one end of the supply pipe 3 that is connected to the water tank 1 and moves water can be positioned through the lower end of the guide plate 10. For this purpose, when there are a plurality of guide plates 10, the supply pipe 3 may be configured to branch according to the number of guide plates 10.

In addition, the end of the supply pipe 3 that penetrates the guide plate 10 is coupled to a communication port that performs the supply port function when the body 61 is located at the lower end 12 of the guide plate 10. A docking configuration may be prepared using a flexible material such as silicone or rubber.

The docking configuration is inserted into the end of the supply pipe 3, and as the diameter becomes narrower as it moves away from the supply pipe 3, it is inserted into the communication port when the body 61 is adjacent, and the communication port is released when it moves away. You can.

The description above using the attached drawings describes only the main points of the present invention, and it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the attached drawings, as various designs are possible within the technical scope.
