[Conduct "Yes"]

The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 4, in order to automatically grow a large amount of plants in a narrow space, the conveyance chain 100 in which the cultivation vessel 250 and the cultivation vessel carriage 200 are combined is constructed in a zigzag fashion In addition,

The feed chain 100 is driven in the direction of the upper layer by the drive motor 100-1 and is continuously conveyed to the water supply unit 620 and the LED lighting apparatus 700 for vegetable growing To expose the plant to be cultivated,

In order to reduce the load on the conveying chain 100 and maintain the balance of the overall driving, the conveying chain is driven by directly connecting to the gear located at the middle portion 100-2 of the entire driving chain in addition to the chain gear first directly connected to the driving motor ,

In the lower end portion, both side surfaces of the lower layer are configured to protrude as in [100-3] so that the automatic harvesting apparatus 400 and the seed supplying apparatus 500 can be installed to facilitate harvesting.

Further, in order to constitute a multi-layer structure, an auxiliary gear 100-4 for multi-layer construction is formed on both side surfaces of the multi-layer portion of the transport chain 100. [

The cultivation vessel 250 shown in FIG. 5 is a form of a ship having a certain width, length, and height. When harvesting and recovering cultivated plants, the cultivation vessel 250 is connected to the cultivation vessel 250 To facilitate separation and separation, a smooth bottom surface having no irregularities is provided, and both side surfaces are inclined such as 250-1 and 250-4, and the width of the left and right side surfaces is set to be low, High.

That is, it is preferable that the 'A' portion is lower than the 'B' portion, the angle is about 20 degrees, the 'B' portion is higher than the 'A' portion, and the angle is about 45 degrees.

The reason is that, as shown in FIG. 5-1, when the seed is automatically supplied to the cultivation vessel 250, the front cultivation vessel 250 and the rear cultivation vessel 250 in the traveling direction are completely adhered to each other If the gap is generated, the seed may leak and fall down. In this case,

If the upper portion of the cultivation vessel 250 is observed at the lower end thereof, the seeds will not flow out of the cultivation vessel and will not flow downward unless a gap is generated.

Therefore, the left and right heights 250 - of the cultivating vessel 250 may be different from each other, as shown in FIG. 5 - 1, so that mutual overlapping effects can be obtained, When observed, there is no gap, so the seed will not flow down.

A plurality of water pouring holes 220-2 are formed in the bottom surface of the cultivation vessel 250 to improve water drainage so that when the cultivation water is sprayed in the automatic watering system 520 installed at the upper part of the system, The water is drained downward through the perforated drainage port 250-2 and is fed to the multi-layer along the transport chain 100. The effect of continuing the indirect water supply to the plants in the cultivation vessel 250 at the lower end is maintained, To prevent pollution of the cultivated water.

However, when the cultivation vessel drainage port 250-2 is drilled a lot, the root of the plant grows out of the lower end of the cultivation vessel 250, making it difficult to harvest the cultivated plant. Therefore, an excessive number of drainages 250-2 ).

The cultivating vessel 250 may be fixedly attached to the cultivating vessel conveyer 200 and the cultivating vessel 250 may be fixedly attached with a plastic or rustproof metal material. The plant is cultivated while being transported by the transport chain 100 in a state where a plurality of plants are attached to the plant 200.

6 and 8, the cultivating vessel conveyor 200 for driving the cultivating vessel 250 is provided with a plurality of cultivating vessels 250 coupled to the conveying chain 100, And is transported in a zigzag fashion to upper and lower layers,

The cultivating vessel conveyer 200 includes a cultivating vessel conveyer connecting support 200-1 positioned at the left and right ends of the cultivating vessel conveyer 200 and connected to the conveying chain 100, (200-2) connected to the traveling direction of the cultivating vessel conveyer (200), and a slope of the cultivation vessel which can be adjusted so as to keep the cultivating vessel at a constant angle when the cultivated plants are harvested And a trolley 200-3 connected to the end of the tilt adjustment table 200-3 to reduce the resistance and easily obtain the inclination of the tray.

The cultivation vessel conveyor 200 arranges the plurality of cultivation vessels 250 at the same time while keeping the width narrower than the length of the cultivation vessel 250 for fixing and loading the plurality of cultivation vessels 250 at the same time, Two or more cultivation container pedestals 200-5 are arranged and the cultivation container 250 is fixed thereon,

As shown in FIG. 9, at the left and right ends, a connection support 200-1 for connecting the transport chain 100 and the cultivating container 200 is attached. When the balance is lost during the transportation, The width of the lower end portion of the connection support 200-1 is made wider and the width of the lower end portion of the connection support 200-1 is larger than the width of the lower end portion of the connection support 200-1 It is preferable to have a width of about 1/3 of the lateral side (long side) width of the cultivation vessel 250.

[Figure 10] shows another form of the connection support.

A connection shaft 200-2 is formed at the upper end of the connection support 200-1 so as to be able to be connected to the transfer chain 100. The connection shaft 200-2 can be moved up and down in a zigzag manner A connecting shaft having a bearing which is free to be driven so as to smoothly adjust the slope of the cultivation vessel conveyor 200 when the harvesting vessel 200 is continuously tilted, (200-2).

In addition, two (left, right) or a plurality of inclination adjusting bases 200-3 are formed on the moving direction of the cultivation vessel conveyer 200, When the harvesting plant 200 is brought to the harvesting stage during the transportation of the harvesting vessel 100 by the transferring chain 100, (200) reaches and keeps a constant inclination in the downward direction, the harvesting can be facilitated. In order to maintain the inclination of the cultivating energy opposing (200) temporarily even with a small resistance, (15 to 30 degrees), and the overall inclination of the cultivating vessel 250 and the cultivating vessel conveyor 400 is adjusted such that the inclination of the inclination adjusting bench 200-3 And the angle of refraction .

The cultivating vessel detection sensor 200-6, which can recognize the cultivating vessel or the automatic feeding of the seed reached the harvesting time, is attached to the inclination adjusting bench 200-3 and the inclination adjusting guide 200-1, And automatic seed sowing.

In addition, when the cultivating vessel 250 and the cultivating vessel conveyor 200, which are being conveyed along the conveying chain 100, make contact with the inclination adjusting guide 400-1, A rolling wheel 200-4 is formed at the end of the rolling mill 200-3 and has a wider width than the rolling wheel 200-4 in order to prevent the rolling wheel 200-4 from coming off.

As shown in FIG. 11, when the cultivating vessel conveyer 200 and the cultivating vessel 250, which are fixed and transported to the conveying chain 100, reach the harvesting point of the cultivated plant, The cultivation vessel 200 automatically maintains a certain degree of inclination and separates the cultivated plants from the cultivating vessel 300. The automatic harvesting apparatus 300 includes a rotary harvester 350 as a forced harvesting apparatus.

When the harvesting platform 200 arrives at the harvesting apparatus 300 at the time of harvesting, the harvesting platform 200 automatically keeps the harvesting apparatus 200 downward at a predetermined angle, (300-1), and when the harvest time is not the interval, the interval adjusting hydraulic device (300-3) is provided so as to be spaced apart at a predetermined interval and the inclination adjusting guide (300-1) , So that it is possible to adjust the interval afterwards.

The inclination adjusting guide 300-1 is formed so as to be wider than the rolling wheels 200-4 so that the rolling wheels 200-4 of the transporting platform 200 do not deviate from the range of the inclination adjusting guides 300-1 .

The inclination adjusting guide support 300-2 is configured to prevent the inclination adjusting guide 300-1 from being pushed back even when pressure is applied by the transporting platform 200. [ In order to maintain a warning of the inclination adjusting guide supporter 300-2, the fixing device 300-2a of the inclination adjusting guide supporter 300-2 is installed in an eleven or X shape.

12 shows another form of the inclination adjustment guide 300-1 and the support table 300-2. The inclination adjustment guide 300-1 is formed by a hydraulic device or the like, It can be laid back at the time of planting and used upright at the time of harvest.

The inclination adjustment guide 300-1 is formed on the side of the harvesting apparatus 300. This is because the rolling wheels 200-4 on the opposite side of the cultivation airstream 200 reach the inclination adjustment guide 300-1, The cultivating container 250 transported by the cultivating container 200 and the cultivating container conveyer 200 is automatically tilted when it is interrupted by the progress of the cultivation container 100, 5], the cultivated plants located in the cultivation vessel 250 are moved downward to facilitate harvesting.

When the plants in the cultivation vessel 250 are routed to the drainage holes 250-2 of the cultivation vessel 250 and the roots are concentrated in the cultivation vessel 250, the cultivated plants to be harvested from the cultivation vessel 250 The rotary harvester 350 may be constructed so as to facilitate the automatic harvesting by forcibly separating in the cultivation vessel 250,

The seed outlet 400-4 is formed in a rectangular shape as long as the width of the cultivation vessel 250 so that a large amount of the seed outlet 400-4 is not poured at the same time. The amount of the seed is controlled according to the opening degree of the seed outlet 400-4 .

In order to control the number of seeds to be cultivated, the seed outlet opening and closing device driving motor 400-6 is operated to feed the seed outlet opening and closing device 400-3 connected to the seed outlet opening and closing device driving chain 400-3c And then adjusting the distance of the seed outlet 400-4.

In order to automatically feed the seeds, when the seeding time comes, the cultivation vessel sensing sensor 400-9 is attached to the seed outlet opening / closing apparatus 400-3. When the cultivation vessel to be sown reaches, So that the seed outlet opening and closing device driving motor 400-3b is operated in the upward direction to open the seed outlet 400-4 located at the lower end of the seed supply tank 400-2 so that a certain amount of seed is fed to the growing container To be automatically seeded,

The seed quantity is determined such that when a certain number of seeds are supplied to the cultivation vessel 250, the seed quantity regulating apparatus driving motor 400-3b operates in the opposite direction, and the seed outlet opening / closing apparatus 400-3 again moves downward So that the seed outlet 400-4 is closed to prevent the seed from being discharged any more.

Accordingly, when the seedling quantity to be sown is distributed to the seedling container 250 by controlling the seed quantity of the seed to be cultivated, the cultivation container sensor 400-6 automatically opens the seedling harvesting container So that a certain amount of seeds can be distributed to the cultivation vessel 250.

As shown in Fig. 15, the seed outlet opening / closing apparatus 400-3 includes a seed outlet 400-4 and a seed outlet closure plate 400-3a so that seeds can be contained in a plurality of cultivation vessels at the same time The seed discharge port 400-3a is not fixed and the control of the seed discharge amount is difficult to solve. The seed discharge port 400-3a is formed by the pressure of the seed pushed out from the seed discharge port 400-4 As shown in FIG. 16, the seed discharge port case 400-11, which is bent in a " C " shape for each seed discharge port 400-4 of the seed supply tank 400-2, Whereby the seed outlet opening and closing apparatus 400-3 is opened and closed in a sliding manner up and down.

Whether or not seed seeding step is carried out is carried out in such a manner that a serial number is assigned to each seed growing container conveyor 200 so as to be recognized by the sensor 200-6 and the seedling growing / Respectively,

If the seedling cultivation vessel recognition sensor recognizes the cultivation vessel as a seeding stage, the seed feeding apparatus is operated to open the seed outlet opening / closing apparatus 400-3 to seed the seed into the cultivation vessel

At the same time, the seeds are sown in the seed supply tank 400-2, so that a certain amount of seed is continuously supplied to the seed supply tank 400-2, And the seed is supplied to the inner seed storage tank 400-2 from the seed storage tank 400-1.

If the planting stage is not the seeding stage, it is cultivation stage. Therefore, watering and LED lighting are performed to cultivate and grow plants

If the cultivation vessel 250 arriving at the harvesting time is recognized seven days after sowing by the detection sensor, it is judged whether or not harvesting is performed. If the harvesting stage is not the harvesting step, watering-lighting is repeated. .

If it is determined to be the 'harvesting' stage, the inclination adjusting guide 300-1 advances to the harvesting position and maintains an interval favorable for harvesting

When the reverse power roll 200-4 for cultivation comes into contact with the slope control guide 300-1, the slope angle of about 45 degrees, which is advantageous for harvesting, is maintained.

At the same time, the rotary harvester 350 is operated to forcibly collect the harvested material in the cultivation vessel 250 and send it to the conveying conveyor 800, thereby completing the seeding-cultivation-harvesting step, and controlling these processes to be repeated .

If it is determined that the harvest is not harvested and the cultivating device is recognized by the cultivating vessel detection sensor (200-6), watering-LED illumination is repeated to grow / grow the plant, In the case of bud feed, the plants are grown by repeating the same process for 7 days. This whole process is repeatedly controlled.

The 'blue feed and plant automatic hydroponic cultivation system and control method' according to the present invention provides an automatic cultivation system and a control method thereof capable of cultivating fresh blue feed or edible buds or plants with a minimum of manpower, It is possible to reduce the burden of feed cost of livestock farmers due to the price increase,

In particular, it can produce a large amount of blue feed in a small unit area. It can be cultivated in a narrow place of 1/200 of the cultivated land area, and it can be cultivated with only 1/30 manpower. Also,

Whether you are a farmer or a person who does not design new value-added business, you can grow wheat and barley sprouts as well as feeds and produce them as healthy foods. I am confident that it will contribute greatly to national economic development and national income.
