FIG.

1 and 2, the hydroponic cultivation apparatus of the present invention can be roughly divided into a housing 10, a cultivation bin 20, a motor 30, and a tray 40. [

The housing 10 is in the form of a box in which the entire surface is closed and a closed space is formed therein, and a part or the entire surface is made of transparent synthetic resin or glass and is made to be able to see the inside, Is formed.

The opening and closing door 11 is used for inserting and removing the tray 40 into the internal space or for inserting and removing the motor 40, aquatic plant, rock, etc. for installing a fish tank or an aquarium, The hinge 12 is connected and the door 11 can be opened and closed with the hinge 12 as a starting point. However, the shape of the door 11 is not limited to the illustrated form, and the shape and structure of the door 11 are not limited as long as they satisfy the above-mentioned purpose.

At least a pair of rails 15 are installed in the inner space of the hydraulic housing 10 so as to be spaced apart from each other in parallel in the inner space by a predetermined distance. The rails 15 are for supporting the tray 40, Depending on the size of the hydraulic housing 10, several pairs may be installed at the same time.

A cultivating cylinder (20) is disposed below the rail (15).

The cultivation bucket 20 is in the form of a box whose upper end is opened and water can be received therein. The edge is surrounded by the outer wall 21, and the water receiving space therein is partitioned into two parts by the partition wall 22.

At this time, the height of the partition 22 is lower than that of the outer wall 21, and the drain 23 is formed on the bottom of one of the areas defined by the partition 22. [

The motor 30 is installed at the bottom of the hydroponic housing 10 so as to transfer water stored in the bottom of the hydroponic housing 10 to the refractory 20, And a water supply pipe (31) is connected between the cultivation cylinder (20).

3, the tray 40 may be substantially in the form of a plate having a predetermined length and surface for fixing and supporting the hydroponic plant, and may be configured to be seated on the pair of rails 15 The mounting grooves 41 are formed on both sides in the longitudinal direction.

In addition, a plurality of support holes 42 are formed inside the tray 40 in order to allow the hydroponic plants to penetrate up and down.

At the bottom of the hydraulic housing 10 constructed as described above, water can be stored and then raised. In order to decorate an aquarium, sand or pebbles can be put on the floor, and other plants or rocks can be put in to create an atmosphere .

When hydroponic plants are inserted into the respective support holes 42 of the tray 40 and then the tray 40 is placed on the rails 15, the root portions of the hydroponic plants are accommodated in the cultivation basin 20.

When the water stored in the bottom of the hydroponic housing 10 is supplied to the cultivation cabinet 20 by operating the underwater motor 30, water is stored in the cultivation cabinet 20 so that the hydroponic plant can be cultivated.

The water transferred to the cultivation cistern 20 is temporarily stored by the partition 22 and rides over the partition 22 to be returned to the hydroponic housing 10 through the drain hole 23.

Accordingly, when the motor 30 is continuously operated, water that forms a fish tank in the hydroponic housing 10 is supplied to the cultivation basin 20 and then recycled through the drainage hole 23, Here, the barrier 22 provides a kind of overflow function.

A water inlet 13 for injecting water into the internal space may be provided at one side of the water-hydrating housing 10, or a drain 14 may be provided for extracting water from the internal space of the water-hydrating housing 10 to the outside It is possible.

In addition, a fan 16 may be provided at one side of the hydraulic housing 10 to rotate the air for ventilation. The fan 16 may be configured to discharge the air inside the hydraulic housing 10 to the outside, And the function of supplying outside air to the inside can be performed.

At one side of the hydraulic housing 10, a manual ventilation hole 18 may be provided for ventilation. At this time, the ventilation hole (18) can be manually opened and closed by a slidable cover (19). That is, the cover 19 can be manually pushed or pulled, and the ventilation hole 18 can be opened or closed depending on its position.

In order to prevent water or foreign substances from flowing into the cultivation basin 20 when water in the hydroponic housing 10 is supplied to the cultivation basin 20, A first filter 32 may be provided.

A second filter 50 for filtering foreign substances may be detachably installed on the drain hole 23 of the cultivation bucket 20 in order to prevent foreign substances in the cultivation bucket 20 from being drained.

As shown in FIG. 4, the second filter 50 may have a hexahedron shape or a pad shape. If the second filter 50 has pores formed therein and allows water to pass therethrough, And can be removed or removed through the door 11 so as to be detachably disposed on the refractory 20 to be replaced when the filter function is lost.

On the other hand, an illuminating lamp 60 capable of emitting light can be provided on one side of the inner space of the hydroponic housing 10, and the illuminating lamp 60 can be a fluorescent lamp, an LED, or the like.

A caster 70 may be installed at the lower end of the hydraulic housing 10 for the convenience of movement of the hydraulic housing 10 and the caster 70 may be installed at a lower end of a pedestal 71 supporting the hydraulic housing 10, As shown in FIG.

5 is a perspective view showing a modification of the tray of the hydroponic cultivation apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention.

When the support hole 42 is drilled in the tray 40 as shown in FIG. 3, the size of the support hole 42 is limited, so that it may be difficult to support various kinds of hydroponic plants. In other words, the hydroponic plants thicker than the support holes 42 can not be supported and supported. On the contrary, the hydroponic plants that are too thin can not stand upright by the support holes 42 and are inclined.

5, a through-hole 41 'is formed in the tray 40 in place of the support hole 42, and the through-hole 41' And the wire 43 having elasticity can be arranged in a lattice pattern.

In this case, since the wire 43 can be stretched or bent, it can be supported regardless of the thickness of the hydroponic plant, and the hydroponic plant can be fixed and supported at any position of the through-hole 41 ' do.

Although the present invention has been described in connection with certain exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, It will be understood that various modifications may be made by those skilled in the art, and such modifications are within the scope of protection described in the claims of the present invention.
