8 is a view for explaining the operation of the apparatus for growing mushrooms and buds according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, the apparatus for cultivating mushrooms and buds according to the present invention can be used for cultivation of various mushrooms or cultivation of sprouts vegetables. However, the process for cultivating mushrooms is described as an example. First, the cultivation vessel (a) in which the mushroom culture medium is accommodated is placed on the loading table, and the desired temperature of the cultivation space 1a is set to about ± 3 ° C around 20 ° C through the input unit and the desired humidity is set to 85 to 90% And then the amount of phytoncide extract injected through the phytoncide supply unit 81 is set to be about 3% of the water.

In the case of the summer season in which the room and the atmospheric temperature are higher than the set temperature of the cultivation space, the air conditioner 3 generates and discharges the cold air to perform the temperature control function. That is, while the compressor of the air conditioner 3, the condenser, the expansion valve, and the evaporator 34 are operated in a predetermined order, the refrigerant is moved along the refrigerant line to continuously change the state of expansion (endothermic) And the refrigeration cycle is repeatedly performed.

When the above-described refrigeration cycle is performed, the cold air pipe of the evaporator 34 discharges cold air to the surroundings. At this time, when the internal air circulating fan 37 blows air to the cold air pipe side, The air is blown to the duct 39 and then discharged to the air blowing hole 391. When the cold air is discharged into the cultivation space 1a in this way, the internal temperature of the cultivation space at a high temperature is lowered. When the internal temperature detected by the temperature sensor for sensing the internal temperature in real time reaches a set temperature, The operation of the refrigeration cycle of the air conditioner 3 is stopped. When the internal temperature of the cultivation space rises again, the temperature of the cultivation space is regulated by repeatedly performing the refrigeration cycle of the air conditioner.

On the other hand, in the case of a season (winter season) in which the room and the atmospheric temperature are lower than the set temperature of the cultivation space, the air conditioner performs the temperature control function by generating and discharging warmth. In this case, when the internal air circulating fan 37 applies a blowing force to the heating device 36, the heat is transmitted to the main duct 38, And then discharged through the air blowing hole 391 to the cultivation space to raise the internal temperature of the cultivation space to a predetermined temperature.

Meanwhile, as described above, the inside temperature of the cultivation space 1a is regulated by the air conditioner 3, the water supply means 4 and the air supply means 5 are operated, and water is supplied into the cultivation space, .

More specifically, when the compressed air supply device 51 is operated under the control of the control unit, compressed air is supplied to the storage container 41 of the water through the pressure source supply line 42 so that the discharge pressure is caught in the storage container , The water stored by this discharge pressure is sent to the water supply line 43 and discharged through the spray nozzle 4a when the solenoid valve 44 is opened. At the same time, compressed air is supplied to the atomizing nozzle through the air supply line 52 connected to the compressed air supply device 51, so that the water is sprayed in the form of fine mist droplets.

Particularly, since the spray nozzle 4a through which water is discharged is arranged to be sprayed upward in a direction opposite to the suction direction of the internal air circulation fan 37, the water sprayed from the spray nozzle does not flow into the inside of the air conditioning chamber 35a, And the condensed water is not sprayed to the air blowing hole 391 through which the warmth is discharged, thereby preventing the decay of the mushroom and the generation of mold. In addition, since the condensed water does not flow, corrosion of the air conditioner 3 such as the internal air circulation fan 37 can be prevented, secondary contamination can be prevented, and the durability of the facility can be improved. Also, since the spray nozzle 4a is spaced apart from the air spray hole 391 through which cold air and warm air are discharged, the generation of condensed water in the cultivation space is minimized, thereby providing an optimal environment for cultivation of mushroom.

The water supplied to the spray nozzle is supplied with a mixture of phytoncide extract of about 3% of the water from the phytoncide supply unit 81 to prevent the generation of mold or corruption through natural sterilization and antibacterial action.

The apparatus for cultivating mushrooms and sprouts according to the present invention is provided in the condensation water collecting plate 9 inside the cultivation space 1a so that when excessive water is sprayed from the spray nozzle 4a, And the condensation phenomenon does not occur in the mushroom cultivation vessel (a). Since the cultivation vessel (a) of the mushroom is disposed on the loading platform 2, which is inclined by the angle adjusting means 7, even if condensed water is generated, it flows on the loading platform and moves forward, It is possible to prevent the phenomenon of direct drop of condensed water, thereby preventing occurrence of mold and decay.

On the other hand, in the process of operating the various devices such as the air conditioning apparatus 3, the moisture and the air supply devices 4 and 5, the blue LED and the white LED having the wavelength range of 420 to 450 nm are alternately The foot lamp 6 was lit at an interval of 10 minutes to 20 minutes per hour. As a result, it was confirmed that the fingertips of the mushroom were started at the lapse of about 45 hours, and the efficiency of the foot of the mushroom was improved. As a result of the cultivation process for 15 days, it was possible to harvest the mushroom, and the harvested mushroom was found to have no or little blue mold and good commercial value.

As described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, but may be applied to other types of mushroom and sprout cultivation apparatuses, It will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
