The present invention relates to a plant cultivation apparatus for obtaining a maximum harvest using a minimum space for crops grown in a house or other closed places, and more particularly, a cylindrical fixed shaft through which a water supply pipe and a distribution pipe pass. Water fixed to the bottom, the outer side of the fixing shaft to install a plurality of trays stacked in multiple stages to be rotated at a predetermined interval, the trays to rotate independently of each other, supplying water and electricity to the tray, respectively It is provided with a line and a distribution line in the tray, but the water supply line and the distribution line relates to a plant cultivation apparatus further comprising a water supply and a distribution unit on the upper outer side of the fixed shaft so as to rotate integrally with the tray.

In addition, the power distribution unit is fixed to the outside of the fixed shaft, the fixed body consisting of an insulating ring and the conductor slip ring, and the brush is connected to the slip ring and the ground conductor is installed at the end is rotated around the fixed body It consists of a rotating body, and the slip ring has an annular shape so that it is always grounded with the brush despite the 360 ° rotation, and the slip ring and insulation ring are alternately arranged vertically so that electricity is independently distributed without interference between trays. Transferred to the line.

In addition, the water supply portion is vertically branched from the water supply pipe, and a fixed portion extending through the fixed shaft to the outside, and has an annular ring shape as a whole, which is installed outside the fixed shaft and rotates about the fixed shaft. One side of the rotating part corresponds to the fixed part and the other side communicates with the water supply line, so that the water in the water supply pipe is transferred to the drainage line without interruption via the rotating part even if the directions of the fixed part and the water supply line are not mutually different. do.

Normally, the plant is a condition necessary for growth and growth depends on atmospheric conditions such as temperature and humidity or other physical natural conditions, and the plant must meet the necessary conditions for the plant to grow properly.

In the natural environment where the four seasons are clearly distinguished, such as Korea, a variety of environmental changes can occur.In such a natural environment, plants may grow inadequately formed, especially during the cold seasons such as most plants You will not be able to stop this growth or grow at all.

As a device to provide an environment where plants can grow faithfully by arbitrarily changing such a natural environment, recently, greenhouses have been cultivated to be separated from the external environment by vinyl or glass, and various plants are grown regardless of the external environment. Doing.

The advantage of the above-mentioned greenhouse cultivation is that by cultivating continuously regardless of the external temperature change, not only stable harvesting is possible over a long period of time, but also there is an advantage of minimizing the use of pesticides for pest control by cultivation under a controlled environment.

However, such greenhouse cultivation should be insulated and cooled in accordance with the change of external temperature, and for this purpose, a separate installation space for installing a boiler or air conditioner should be secured in the greenhouse, and workers or farm equipment may be moved for sowing or harvesting. Since a separate moving space must be secured, there is a realistic problem that it is difficult to operate the greenhouse cultivation room in the suburban city where the free space is narrow.

On the other hand, there is a method of cultivating the crops in the planting box, if the planting box is installed on the floor planarly occupy a lot of cultivation space unnecessarily to solve the problem that the space utilization is inefficiently narrowed, multi-stage shelf Or it can be grown by cascading.

In other words, cultivation of crops by stacking them in a multi-stage shelf type on a shelf woven in a stepwise manner using separate angles is used to grow crops by displaying them in multiple layers. Since there is no water supply structure for supplying water or a drainage structure for cultivated water to be supplied, it is difficult to grow indoors.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the problems as described above, an object of the present invention is to plant a plant cultivation apparatus for three-dimensional cultivation of crops in order to solve the inefficiency of the space utilization occurs when the crop is grown in a plan To provide.

Electricity and water can be selectively supplied to 150b and 150c).

Each of the rotary trays 150a, 150b, and 150c rotates independently of the fixed shaft 110, and when crops are planted in the trays 150a of the first row, the user moves the grooves 150b of the second row. Work inside, and if necessary, grab the support 152 or handle (not shown) of the tray 150a and rotate the tray 150a in the first row to move the desired crop in front of him. Can be.

When crops are planted in the tray 150b of the second row, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the user steps back to the moving groove 150c ′ of the third row, and if necessary, the tray 150b. Holding the holding 152 or handle of the second tray 150b, the roller 112 is moved along the rail (not shown), the desired crop is moved in front of him.

When crops are planted in the tray 150c of the third row, the user works out of the moving grooves 150b 'and 150c' of the tray, and if necessary, grabs the support 152 or the handle of the tray 150c. While rotating the third tray 150c, the desired crops can be moved and moved in front of them.

As such, the user can work on crops planted in the tray 150 while moving between the moving grooves 150b 'and 150c'.

When the user turns the tray 150, each tray 150 is rotated by the water supply unit 170 and the power distribution unit 190, the water supply line (164a, 164b, 164c) and the power distribution line (184a, 184b, 184) Will move integrally with.

Even though the trays 150 are rotated, as shown in FIG. 7B, the brush 196 of the power distribution unit 190 moves while being grounded with the outer circumference of the slip ring 192b, so that electricity of the power distribution pipe 180 is brushed. Via 196 and slip ring 192b, it is supplied to each distribution line 184a, 184b, 184c without interruption.

Similarly, when each tray 150 is rotated, as shown in FIG. 6A, the rotating part 170b of the water supply part 170 rotates around the fixing part 170a, and the water of the water supply pipe 160 is fixed part. It is temporarily accommodated in the annular rotation part 170b past 170a, and is supplied to water supply lines 164a, 164b, and 164c without interruption.

As described above, according to the configuration of the present invention, the following effects can be expected.

First, the multi-level multi-layered trays for growing crops are expected to increase the space utilization.

Second, by manufacturing the tray in a circular or annular shape, by installing a roller at the bottom, the user can rotate the tray in place, the user is expected to have a convenient effect does not have to move to the crop.

Third, the warm air or cold air for keeping warm and cooling is discharged from the through hole of the fixed shaft in the center, so that it is not necessary to separately install the heating and cooling mechanism inside the greenhouse, and the effect of minimizing the temperature difference between the center and the surroundings of the greenhouse is expected.

Fourth, the water required for crop cultivation is supplied through the water supply pipe passing through the inside of the fixed shaft, water is drained to the outside through a drain pipe or a collecting unit installed on one side of the tray to provide a plant cultivation device having a water supply structure and a drainage structure. It is.

Fifth, it is expected that greenhouse cultivation is possible even in the suburbs of cities, so that fresh fruits or vegetables can be immediately supplied to urban people.
