Description

{PLANT CULTIVATING APPARATUS}

The present invention relates to a plant cultivation apparatus, and more particularly, to a plant cultivation apparatus configured to perform urban farming in various outdoor spaces of a city.

Generally, in urban life, plants are planted by planting potted plants or flower beds on windows, verandas, and rooftops to cultivate plants for gardening or ingestion for indoor ornamental purposes. This kind of indoor plant cultivation is performed as a leisure activity or a hobby, and is also used as educational material for young children.

However, pollen or a simple flowerbed does not contain sufficient nutrients for cultivation. Therefore, a separate nutrient or fertilizer must be supplied with the water periodically. Particularly, since water is partially discharged to the lower part, drainage or water storage is accompanied There is a problem that a certain space is used. In order to solve these problems, a separate hook or support device is installed at the window to grow plants outside the building. However, due to vibration and strong wind, the pollen falls downward or the supplied water falls without a separate water storage facility

There is a problem that secondary safety accidents can be caused according to the present invention.

In recent years, urban agriculture has been introduced as an alternative to solve various problems of the plant cultivation in the indoor environment. The urban agriculture at this time can be defined as a farming activity utilizing various spaces of the city. Such urban agriculture is known to be able to realize the pluralistic value of agriculture such as biodiversity conservation, climate control, air purification, soil conservation, community culture, emotional support, leisure support, education and welfare. Especially, urban agriculture has many advantages such as restoration of urban ecosystem circulation structure, regional community formation, local food, dietary health of the individual, as well as turning the perception of agriculture into agriculture. It is expected to be good. In particular, farming activities accessible to urban residents are limited to weekend farms. In order to perform agricultural activities using these weekend farms, various types of farm machinery are indispensable, so urban people can not easily access them, Urban agriculture is becoming an alternative.

However, the plant cultivation apparatus proposed so far has a problem in that it is not suitable for use in urban agriculture, that is, in a relatively narrow outdoor space of a city, because it is constructed in a structure suitable for indoor plant cultivation.

An example of a conventional indoor plant apparatus is a "plant cultivation unit for windows" which is a Korean Patent Application Publication No. 2012-79352 (published on July 12, 2012). The above-mentioned Korean Patent Application No. 2012-79352, There is a problem that the pollen falls downward due to vibration and strong wind, or the supplied water drops without a separate water storage facility, thereby causing secondary safety accidents.

As another example, "Rotary Vegetable Cultivated Flowerpot" has been proposed as a practical utility model 2011-8052 (published on August 17, 2011). In order to provide a sufficient amount of sunshine in a narrow indoor space and to provide a large cultivated area, such a utility model new invention 2011-8052 of the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) discloses that a long pot (four) As shown in Fig.

However, the Korean Utility Model Publication Utility Model No. 2011-8052 described above has a structure in which the use place is limited only to the interior, which is not suitable for urban agriculture performed outside the house. In addition, the Korean Utility Model Patent Application No. 2011-8052 described above has a problem that the rotating plate must be manually rotated so that it is troublesome to operate, and it is troublesome to manually supply water necessary for the vegetation of plants.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the general problems of conventional indoor plant cultivation apparatuses and to provide a plant cultivation apparatus suitable for urban agriculture,

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a plant cultivation apparatus suitable for urban agriculture which is suitable for various outdoor spaces of a city and can grow plants such as vegetables.
