1 is a perspective view of a surface floating hydroponic cultivation of the surface floating hydroponic cultivation apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.
2 is a view schematically showing a cross section of the surface floating hydroponic cultivation apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a water surface hydroponic cultivation plate, a water surface hydroponic cultivation apparatus and a hydroponic cultivation method using the same according to an embodiment of the present invention. 1 is a perspective view of a surface floating hydroponic cultivation of the surface floating hydroponic cultivation apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2 is a view schematically showing a cross section of the surface floating hydroponic cultivation apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Sleep floating hydroponic cultivation apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention consists of a water tank (10), a surface floating hydroponic cultivation plate 100, gauze 140 and the water temperature control heater (160). The surface floating hydroponic cultivation plate 100 includes a mesh flat plate 110 on which the seeds 1 are placed on the upper surface and a support 120 positioned along the edge of the mesh flat plate 110.

The water tank 10 is a member in which water (and / or nutrient solution) to be supplied to the seed 1 is accommodated, and is preferably made of a transparent material so that the growth of the seed 1 can be easily observed.

The mesh flat plate 110 is placed on the water 11 contained in the water tank 10, and is maintained on the water floated by the support 120. The mesh flat plate 110 preferably has rigidity that can sufficiently support the weight of the plant (or the weight of the pollen) growing in the gauze 140 on the upper surface of the mesh flat plate 110, and the through holes 111 on the surface thereof. ) Is formed, which may be in the form of a mesh. The through hole 111 may have a size such that the roots can grow toward the water tank 10 through the through holes 111 so that the seeds germinate and grow large. The mesh flat plate 110 may be made of plastic, wood, or metal.

The seeds 1 may be sown directly on the mesh flat plate 110, and preferably, the seeds 1 may be fixed to the gauze 140 to position the gauze 140 on the mesh flat plate 110. Hereinafter, the configuration of placing the seeds 1 on the mesh flat plate 110 using the gauze 140 will be described.

First, spread the seeds 1 evenly on the gauze 140 and cover the oblato 150 thereon. Then, the water is sprayed on the oblato 150 to melt the seeds (1) tangled in the gauze 140, and when the gauze 140 is dried, the melted oblate (150) while the seeds (1) It will be fixed to the gauze 140.

Oblato is a package made of starch, which is made by mixing starch oil with agar or konjac and drying it with a drum dryer to make paper. It is used to wrap powdered or hard-to-eat powder products. It is possible to fix the seeds (1) to the gauze (140) by melting and drying the oblato (150), and thus can also be fixed to the desired types of seeds by zone, to the desired density according to the type of seeds Seeds can be fixed, so even beginners of sprout cultivation will be able to grow sprouts with these seeded gauze.

Gauze 150 to which the seeds 1 are fixed is positioned on the mesh plate 110. In order to cultivate the seeds (1) with the water of the tank (10) it is most important that the water (11) of the tank (10) is always in contact with the seeds (1), for this purpose support 120 Adjust the degree of submersion in the water (11) of the mesh flat plate (110).

The support part 120 is a member extending along the edge of the mesh flat plate 110 with the lower part 121 open and the upper part 122 closed, and a cross section of the support part 120 is preferably a "∩" shape. The buoy 120 may be molded integrally with the mesh flat plate 110.

The buoy 120 has an air layer 123 between the upper portion 122 and the water surface as the mesh flat plate 110 is placed on the water 11. The degree to which the mesh flat plate 110 is submerged is determined by the amount of the air layer 123. An upper air opening is formed at the upper portion 122 of the support portion 120, and the air opening is closed by the air valve 130. The air valve 130 may be in a form capable of opening and closing air in a state of being fitted in the air control opening, or may be separated from the air control opening and open the air control opening.

By the weight of the mesh flat plate 110 and the seeds, plants, pots, etc. supported by it, the mesh flat plate 110 may be excessively sinking below the water surface, which is caused by the air layer 123 accommodated inside the buoy 120. Is prevented. On the other hand, the amount of air 123 may be further increased, by connecting an external air injection hose (not shown) to the air valve 130 or air control opening to further air into the space between the top 122 and the water surface Injecting may raise the mesh flat plate 110.

By such a configuration, even when the water 11 of the water tank 10 evaporates or the plant absorbs the water 11 to lower the water level of the water tank 10, the mesh flat plate 110 can always maintain the same degree of locking. Will be.

Hydroponic cultivation of sprouts can be grown on the veranda or balcony where there is a lot of natural light to grow blue sprouts.

In order to solve this problem, the surface floating hydroponic cultivation apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention heats the water 11 of the water tank 10 to a desired temperature by placing the water temperature control heater 160 inside the water tank 10. For example, a water temperature controlled heater for a fish tank may be used. The electric wire 161 of the water temperature control heater 160 is discharged to the outside of the water tank 10 and connected to an external power source, and the body of the water temperature control heater 160 is coated with a rubber adhesive to cover parts other than the glass tube with a rubber adhesive. In addition, it is preferable that the bottom of the water tank 10 is sealed with a silicon 162 or the like to be waterproof.

Sleep floating hydroponic cultivation plate, sleep floating hydroponic cultivation apparatus and a hydroponic cultivation method using the same according to an embodiment of the present invention may be grown seedlings and vegetables by placing a pot on the mesh flat plate (110). That is, the upper part is open and the lower part uses a pot formed with a through opening positioned to communicate with the mesh flat plate, and the soil inside the plant pot and seeds, and floats the mesh flat plate 110 on the water surface. If you adjust the degree of locking of the mesh flat plate 110 so that water can be supplied to the soil through the through opening of the potted plant by injecting or discharging air through the air valve 130 or the air control opening of the support 120, seeds The soil is able to absorb water (and / or nutrients).

The exemplary embodiments described above are intended to be illustrative, not limiting, in all aspects of the invention. Accordingly, the present invention is capable of many modifications and implementations that can be made by those skilled in the art from the description contained herein. All such modifications and variations are considered to be within the scope and spirit of the invention as defined by the following claims.
