DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Hereinafter, a plant cultivation apparatus according to embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Referring to the accompanying drawings, the same or corresponding components are denoted by the same reference numerals, The description will be omitted.

Embodiments of the present invention can protect plants from sea breezes, secure sunshine and grow plants using rainwater that enters the ship.

FIG. 1 is a view showing a water supply pipe opened in a marine plant cultivation apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a cross- And FIG.

1 and 2, a marine plant cultivation apparatus according to embodiments of the present invention may include a plant wall 100, a water supply pipe 200, a valve 210, a rainwater storage tank 300, have.

The plant wall 100 is a wall-shaped structure for supporting plants on the vessel, and pollen 110 can be formed on one side. A space may be formed in the interior of the plant wall 100 and a water supply pipe 200 may be formed therein. Plants supported by the pollen 110 may be supplied with water through the water supply pipe 200.

Since the water supply pipe 200 is formed in the inside of the plant wall 100, the accessories exposed to the outside of the plant wall 100 are minimized, which can help improve the appearance of the ship, Can be utilized.

For example, the plant wall 100 can be installed in the lower part of the deck D, for example, in a cabin, and can receive rainwater introduced into the deck D. [ The plant wall 100 can be exposed to the outside through a window W formed on one side of the cabin, thereby helping to improve the aesthetic appearance and providing a sufficient amount of daylight to the plant through the window W. [ In addition, it can protect plants from sea breezes.

The water supply pipe 200 may be configured to supply rainwater stored in the rainwater storage tank 300 to plants in the plant wall 100 and may be connected to the rainwater storage tank 300 and extend to the side of the plant wall 100 have. At this time, the water supply pipe 200 may be formed in the inner space of the plant wall 100 to supply rainwater to the flowerpot 110.

The valve 210 is installed on the water supply pipe 200 to control the discharge amount of the rainwater according to the amount of opening and closing. That is, the valve 210 can adjust the amount of rainwater flowing inside the water supply pipe 200 by changing the open area inside the water supply pipe 200.

1, when the valve 210 is opened, the rainwater stored in the rainwater storage tank 300 can be supplied to the plant along the water supply pipe 200 and the branch pipe 220. Further, as shown in Fig. 2, when the valve 210 is closed, the rainwater is no longer supplied to the plant.

The valve 210 can be controlled through the control unit 600 and the control unit 600 can appropriately regulate the moisture supply of the plant by repeating opening and closing of the valve 210 according to a predetermined time interval. The operator can set the time interval and the opening / closing time through the control unit 600 in advance, and the control unit 600 can control the opening and closing of the valve 210 at predetermined time intervals.

In addition, the valve 210 may be formed in a plurality of valves. The valve 210 may also be installed on the branch pipe 220. The plurality of valves 210 are individually controllable via the control unit 600.

As the valve 210 is rotated inside the water supply pipe 200, the opening area inside the water supply pipe 200 can be adjusted. In addition, the valve 210 reciprocates vertically in the water supply pipe 200 and can regulate the discharge amount of the rainwater by adjusting the open area inside the water supply pipe 200.

The branched pipe 220 is branched from the water supply pipe 200 and connected to the pollen 110 so that the rainwater supplied to the water supply pipe 200 can be distributed to the pollen 110. The end of the branch pipe 220 is inserted into the pot 110 to supply water directly to the plant. At this time, a plurality of holes (not shown) are formed on the outer circumferential surface of the end portion of the branch pipe 220 so that water can be supplied quickly.

The rainwater storage tank (300) stores rainwater that flows into the ship, and can store rainwater therein. The rainwater storage tank 300 is located on the upper side of the plant wall 100, so that stored rainwater can be delivered to the plants in the plant wall 100 through the water supply pipe 200 without a separate power plant.

For example, the upper part of the rainwater storage tank 300 is formed to be openable and closable so that rainwater can flow through an opening (not shown). In addition, a rainwater inflow pipe 400 is formed in the rainwater storage tank 300 so that rainwater can be introduced into the rainwater storage tank 300.

One end of the rainwater inflow pipe 400 is installed on the ship and the other end is connected to the rainwater storage tank 300 so that the rainwater flowing on the ship can be stored in the rainwater storage tank 300.

For example, one end of the rainwater inflow pipe 400 is installed in the deck D, and the rainwater storage tank 300 is installed at the lower end of the deck D to store the rainwater flowing on the deck D into the rainwater storage tank 400. [ (Not shown). Further, a backflow prevention valve (not shown) may be formed on the rainwater inflow pipe 400 to prevent the rainwater from flowing backward from the rainwater storage tank 300. As a result, rainwater can be prevented from flowing back onto the deck (D).

The rainwater discharge pipe 500 is connected to the rainwater storage tank 500 and can discharge the rainwater over the reference water level stored in the rainwater storage tank 500 to the outside. The rainwater discharge pipe 500 may be formed to extend from the rainwater storage tank 300 to the water treatment facility of the hull or the outside of the hull.

1, when the rainwater stored in the rainwater storage tank 300 is at a low water level, the rainwater is not discharged to the rainwater discharge pipe 500, but is stored in the rainwater storage tank 300 If the rainwater is at a high water level, the rainwater can be discharged to the outside through the rainwater discharge pipe 500.

Accordingly, the rainwater level of the rainwater storage tank 300 can be automatically adjusted. Accordingly, it is possible to minimize the occurrence of water flooding due to rainwater and the occurrence of accidents.

Further, a backflow prevention valve (not shown) may be formed on the rainwater discharge pipe 500 to prevent the rainwater discharged to the rainwater storage tank 300 from flowing backward.

As described above, the marine plant cultivation apparatus according to the present embodiments can protect the plant from the sea breeze installed in the inside of the vessel, secure the amount of sunshine, and can plant the plant using the rainwater flowing on the vessel. , It is possible to minimize backflow of the rainwater stored in the ship by appropriately adjusting the water level of the rainwater according to the embodiments of the present invention, thereby minimizing the occurrence of accidents due to rainwater backflow .

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, many modifications and changes may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. The present invention can be variously modified and changed by those skilled in the art, and it is also within the scope of the present invention.
