Description

Plant cultivation observation kit using recycled PET bottle {KIT FOR MONITORING PLANT'S GROWTH USING RECYCLE PET BOTTLE}

The present invention relates to a plant cultivation observation kit using a recycled PET bottle, and more particularly, to a plant cultivation observation kit capable of controlling variables of growth conditions of light, water, and inorganic salts so that the plant growth process can be observed. It is about.

The incubator for cultivating plants grown with a cultured soil and seeds and seed rooms inside a transparent container is disclosed in the prior art (Korean Utility Model Publication No. 399055). In this prior art, after attaching a seed room that is not mixed with the culture soil so that the seeds are visible in the transparent container, the dried culture soil can be sealed and then opened and closed as necessary to observe the process of seed growth. In this prior art, however, the seed and the cultured soil may be mixed when watered, so that the growth process of the seed cannot be clearly seen, and the water is brought into contact with the outside when opened and closed, thereby controlling external variables for the plant. You can not, and also you can not control the growth conditions of the plant.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a plant cultivation observation kit that can solve the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art and can also visually observe the plant growth process and control the plant growth factors.

In a representative embodiment of the present application, there is provided a water supply unit for supplying water, inorganic salts, and the like, and having a gauze, a plant support located above the supply unit and receiving seeds of a plant to be cultivated, The above object can be achieved by a plant cultivation observation kit using a recycled PET bottle which includes an isolator for isolating the outside, and an observation and control unit located on the top of the isolator and adjusting the amount of light while observing the plant. The plant support is a boiled agar medium with water to provide a sol state, the observation and control unit is composed of a convex lens, a gasket for fixing the green lens, a stopper and a control device that can adjust the wavelength and amount of light do.

Plant cultivation observation kit using a recycled PET bottle according to the present application, while observing the growth of the plant, it is possible to control the growth conditions of the plant, that is, the wavelength of light, the amount of light, etc. can do.

In addition, by using recycled PET bottles commonly seen in the surroundings, it is inexpensive and simple to construct, which is not only environmentally friendly, but also makes it easy to observe the exaggeration of plant growth through these transparent PET bottles, which is a curiosity of young children. It is an advantage that can easily explain the principle of plant growth at the eye level of children.

2 is a view showing a method for producing a plant cultivation observation kit of the present application using a recycled PET bottle.
Figure 3a is an exploded perspective view of the observation and control of the plant cultivation observation kit, Figure 3b is an assembly view of the plant cultivation observation kit.

As shown in Fig. 1, the plant cultivation observation kit 10 of the present application includes a supply section 11 for supplying water, inorganic salts, and the like, and a plant support section located above the supply section and containing seeds of plants to be grown ( 12) an isolating portion 13 located above the plant support and separating the plant from the outside, and an observation and control portion 14 located above the isolation and also controlling the amount of light while observing the plant. Include.

The water and inorganic salt supply section 11 stores an aqueous solution of water and inorganic salts and is further filled with gauze to provide such water and inorganic salts to the plant support. This gauze serves to supply the plant support 12 with the aqueous solution stored in the water and the inorganic salt supply section 11.

The observation and adjustment unit 14 is composed of a convex lens 14a, a gasket 14b for fixing the convex lens, a stopper 14c, and an adjusting device 14d. This observation and the manufacturing method of the adjustment part 14 are mentioned later.

Hereinafter, the manufacturing method of the plant cultivation observation kit 10 of this application is demonstrated.

As shown in Fig. 2A, by preparing three transparent PET bottles commonly seen in the periphery, and cutting the upper portion of the three PET bottles along the cutting surface L, three bottomed cylinders (A, B, C) is formed. As shown in Fig. 2B, the first cylinder A is stored with water and inorganic salts, and the gauze is further filled so that the water and inorganic salts are supplied to the plant. After the hole 12a is formed in the bottom of the 2nd cylinder B, it is arrange | positioned on the 1st cylinder A, and this a 2nd cylinder B is made to make a sol state by boiling agar medium with water, and arrange | positioned. . As shown in FIG. 2C, a third cylinder C is disposed on the second cylinder B, and the third cylinder C is not provided with any hole that can communicate with the outside. It allows to incubate in isolation from the external environment. Observation and control unit 14 is disposed on the third cylinder C to complete the plant cultivation observation kit 10.

As shown in Figures 3a and 3b, the method of manufacturing the observation and control unit 14 is as follows.

After arranging the inlet of the bottle cut along the cut surface L described above to face downward, the convex lens 14a and the gasket 14b for fixing the convex lens are inserted into the bottle, and then at the inlet of the bottle. Fit the holed caps 14c. On the convex lens, a light adjusting device (14d) is mounted. The adjusting device 14d includes an LED device that can adjust the amount of photosynthesis by adjusting three wavelengths of light, that is, red, blue, and green wavelengths, and the amount of photosynthesis that can be adjusted by adjusting the time, and the desired three elements of light. Controls can be fitted to allow selection of the elements.

The operating principle of the plant cultivation observation kit 10 of the present application is as follows.

Aqueous solutions of water and inorganic salts stored in the water and inorganic salt supply unit 11 are supplied from the water and inorganic salt supply unit 11 to the agar medium of the plant support unit 12 by capillary action of the gauze, and the plant of the agar medium is Incubated. The growth process of the cultivated plant is observed in detail through the observation and control unit 14, and the three light wavelengths are supplied by the control unit 14d of the observation and control unit 14 to control the plant growth. The wavelength of this light is selected and adjusted. In addition, the regulating device 14d is further provided with a time-controlled circuit to adjust the amount of light required for plant growth.

The observation and control unit 14 of the present application can control the growth conditions of the plant, that is, the wavelength of the light, the amount of light, etc. while observing the growth of the plant, thereby cultivating the plant in an optimal state as desired. .

By using agar medium for the plant support 12 in place of the soil, the agar medium in the sol state is transparent, so that root growth and structure of the plant are easy to observe.

In addition, the plant cultivation kits of the present application can be variously applied, for example, to be able to individually cultivate high value-added specialty seedlings, and have strong red and blue wavelengths in the treatment of ornamental plants such as expensive eggs. By increasing the amount of photosynthesis by exposing to water, these plants can be treated effectively.

In addition, since the plant cultivation kit of the present application can be easily made at home, the plant cultivation can be grown by culturing the tubular plant at home.
