Abstract

In constructing hydroponic cultivator that can be used in veranda or roof garden, it is possible to make a plurality of plant cultivation beds using PVC pipe which is inexpensive, and lay it on the support that supports it. It is a hydroponic cultivation device having a structure in which the solution is circulated to the top bed by filling the cultivation bed, and the solution is circulated from the top bed to the bottom reservoir via a hose connected to the hose.
Existing devices that make up the cultivation bed with a pipe or pipe-shaped square tube have several beds arranged in parallel, each pipe has an inlet and an outlet, and a hose is connected to it. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the pipes were connected in a date or eye sheath, allowing the solution to be circulated by only one inlet and one outlet, and adjusting the flow rate (Fig. 5, according to the performance of the pump). 6) and the adjustment support screws (Figs. 7 and 8) to adjust the horizontal level of the bed to realize a more convenient hydroponic cultivation device.

Description

Hydroponic cultivation using plastic pipes {A hydroponic culturing divice using PVC pipe}

       Hydroponic cultivation refers to a method of growing crops in a culture solution made of water and water-soluble nutrients without using soil, and cultivation of nutrient solution using culture soil refers to a method of cultivating crops by continuously supplying the culture solution to the culture soil.

        Hydroponic cultivation can observe root conditions and growth patterns, grow clean, uncontaminated vegetables or crops, grow indoors at home or business, and control interior and interior lighting using LED lighting. There is.

       Hydroponic cultivation is used in a variety of ways. For example, grow a crop in the form of a container in which a medium can be grown in a plastic bucket, and the top surface of the culture tank containing the culture medium is covered with perforated styrofoam, and the crops are made through a hole in the styrofoam. Recently, various hydroponic cultivators using a round or square pipe have been implemented.

Hydroponic cultivation using round or square pipe is equipped with a mini cultivation port to cultivate plants by blocking holes at both ends in the longitudinal direction and cultivating plants, and forming a bed for plant cultivation, and nutrient solution inlets at both ends of the bed. In recent years, hydroponic cultivation devices for circulating nutrient solution by discharging and discharging outlets are supported by supporting frames. A nutrient solution circulation system in which a nutrient solution is supplied to each top bed by using a submersible pump in the tank, and when the nutrient solution is filled to the upper bed, the nutrient solution flows into the lower angular bed through the outlet and circulates the nutrient solution to the reservoir through the lower angular bed outlet. Cultivation system.

1. In a hydroponic cultivation system using round or square pipes, two lakes are connected to each inlet and outlet, so if three beds are formed in one layer, six hoses should be connected. If multiple layers, six hoses have to be connected again, which is cumbersome and aesthetically not good.

2. When the lower tank submersible pumped the solution to the upper beds, the water pressure was different depending on the power of the submersible pump or the layers, so the flow rate could not be adjusted properly. Therefore, the hose thickness or the pump had to be changed.

3. In order to evenly fill the nutrient solution in each layer of bed, the bed should be horizontal. However, the height adjustment screw was not attached to the support, so it was necessary to adjust the height with crushed stone or newspaper book.

Connecting several beds on each floor by using connecting parts solves the problem of complex connection hose with one inlet and one outlet, and adjusts the flow rate according to the flow rate of the single and double layers or the power of the pump. Height adjustment screw is attached for the horizontal.

By using PVC pipe and its parts, it is possible to construct a hydroponic cultivator at a low material cost and improve the working atmosphere or aesthetics by connecting only one inlet and one outlet to each floor. In addition, the flow rate from the pump is different due to the difference in height between the bed and the double layer of the bed, so there was a lot of problems in controlling the flow rate.Because the flow regulator is attached, it can be easily reconfigured from the single-layer planter to the double-layer planter and the nutrient solution There was no problem of excessive bias on one side.

In constructing a hydroponic cultivator for growing pollution-free vegetables or growing various flowers at home or business

Bed for planting should be a plastic round pipe, but the PVC pipe for water without any environmental problems is cut to a suitable length, and a hole for the pot for planting is drilled and a plurality of rows are formed as shown in FIG. Using the L-shaped connector at the corner and the T-shaped connector at the center, assemble as shown in Figure 3 and combine the cultivation ports to make a cultivation bed. If it is 4 rows, it will become a snow shepherd.

Two holes of inlet and outlet are formed on one side of the cultivation bed configured as above, and the flow control is attached to the inlet and placed on the support frame. When pumped, the nutrient solution controlled by the flow controller fills the bed through the inlet of the cultivation bed and is circulated back into the reservoir through the discharge lake connected to the outlet.

As described above, the cultivation field may be composed of a plurality of layers, as shown in the representative diagram, or may vary in pipe thickness or size of the cultivation port, depending on the plant to be grown. When the cultivation bed is composed of multiple layers, the flow control unit is attached only to the inlet of the upper layer and the lower layer inlet is introduced by water pressure through a hose connected from the outlet of the upper layer. The hose is connected to operate the submersible pump contained in the water tank to pump the nutrient solution to the top-level cultivation bed, and the pumped nutrient solution is controlled from the upper bed to the lower bed and the lower tank to the water tank again while controlling the flow rate to the flow control port. It is a cultivation device for growing plants by circulating.

At the lower end of the four pillars of the frame supporting the cultivation bad, the cultivation bad was kept horizontal through height adjustment screws as shown in FIGS. The height of the height adjustment screw is fluid according to the shape of the rubber wrap around the head of the screw as shown in Figure 8 and uses a commercially available product.
