Description

실내용 식물재배장치{Apparatus for culturing plants}{Apparatus for culturing plants}

본 발명은 실내용 식물재배장치에 대한 것으로서, 더욱 상세하게는 가정에서 용이하게 상추나 배추, 토마토와 같은 식물을 재배시킬 수 있는 실내용 식물재배장치에 대한 것이다.The present invention relates to an indoor plant cultivation apparatus, and more particularly, to an indoor plant cultivation apparatus capable of easily cultivating plants such as lettuce, cabbage, and tomato at home.

식물의 재배는 일조량이나, 강우 조건 등 자연환경에 의하여 많은 영향을 받는다. 그래서 자연조건에 따라서 재배 식물의 수확량이 많아지거나 부족해진다. 이러한 자연환경에 의한 영향을 배제하고, 도심이나 실내에서도 다량으로 식물을 재배하기 위하여 식물재배장치가 많이 개발되고 있다.Cultivation of plants is affected by the amount of sunshine, rainfall conditions and other natural environments. Therefore, depending on natural conditions, the yield of cultivated plants is increased or becomes insufficient. Many plant growing apparatuses have been developed to eliminate the influence of such natural environment and to grow a large amount of plants in the inner city or indoor.

최근에는 공장뿐만 아니라 가정에서도 채소와 같은 식물의 자급뿐만 아니라 관상용으로 사용할 수 있는 실내용 식물재배장치가 개발되고 있다. 이러한 실내용 식물재배장치는 LED와 같은 인공조명과, 양액과 같은 영양분을 사용하여 식물을 재배하고 있다.In recent years, indoor plant growing apparatuses that can be used not only as plants but also as ornamental plants, such as vegetables, have been developed at plants as well as at home. Such an indoor plant growing apparatus cultivates plants using artificial light such as LED and nutrients such as nutrients.

이를 위해서 등록특허 제10-1376095호에는 식물의 성장에 따라 조명수단의 높이를 조절하여 식물의 성장에 맞추어 식물에 최적의 빛의 밝기를 제공할 수 있는 실내용 식물재배장치가 개시되어 있다.For this purpose, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1376095 discloses an indoor plant cultivation apparatus capable of adjusting the height of lighting means according to the growth of plants to provide optimum light brightness to plants in accordance with the growth of plants.

종래의 식물재배장치는 식물의 뿌리가 모종부에 심어져서 양액이 모종부에 공급된다. 이 경우 양액이 식물의 뿌리에 직접적으로 제공되지 아니하므로 식물의 성장이 늦다는 문제점이 있었다.In the conventional plant cultivation apparatus, the root of the plant is planted in the seedling part, and the nutrient solution is supplied to the seedling part. In this case, since the nutrient solution is not directly supplied to the root of the plant, there is a problem that the growth of the plant is delayed.

또한, 종래의 식물재배장치에서 재배되는 식물은 실내에서 재배될 뿐만 아니니라 식물재배장치의 케이싱 내에서 성장하므로 인공적인 환경에서 자란다. 그래서 자연환경과 같은 바람 등을 받지 못한다. 이런 조건에서 재배된 식물은 너무 가늘고 유약하게 성장한다는 문제점이 있었다.In addition, plants cultivated in conventional plant cultivation apparatus are grown not only indoors but also in a casing of a plant cultivation apparatus, and thus grow in an artificial environment. Therefore, it does not receive winds such as natural environment. The plants grown under these conditions had the problem of growing too thin and glazed.

또한, 종래의 식물재배장치는 조명수단에서 공급되는 광은 식물에게만 공급되는 것이 아니라 외부로 발산되어 효율이 좋지 않다는 문제점이 있었다.In addition, in the conventional plant cultivation apparatus, the light supplied from the lighting means is not only supplied to plants, but also emitted to the outside, resulting in poor efficiency.

또한, 종래의 식물재배장치는 성장되는 식물을 직접 관찰해야만 알 수 있고 원거리에서 식물의 성장 정도를 알 수 없다는 문제점이 있었다.In addition, the conventional plant cultivation apparatus has a problem in that it can be known only by directly observing the plants to be grown, and the degree of growth of plants can not be known from a distance.

본 발명에 따른 실내용 식물재배장치는 저장수단(10)과, 모종부(20)와, 노즐수단(30)과, 조명수단(40)과, 반사수단(50)과, 날개수단(60)과, 카메라수단(70) 및 통신수단(미도시)를 포함한다.The indoor plant growing apparatus according to the present invention comprises a storage unit 10, a seedling unit 20, a nozzle unit 30, a lighting unit 40, a reflecting unit 50, a blade unit 60, Camera means 70, and communication means (not shown).

저장수단(10)은 물 또는 양액을 수용한다. 모종부(20)는 식물(1)의 뿌리(3)가 저장수단(10)의 상부에 노출될 수 있도록 식물(1)의 모종을 지지할 수 있게 저장수단(10)의 상부에 위치한다. 즉 모종부(20)의 상부에는 식물(1)의 줄기나 잎 등이 노출되고 모종부(20)의 하부에는 식물(1)의 뿌리(3)가 노출된다.The storage means 10 accommodates water or nutrient solution. The seedlings 20 are located at the top of the storage means 10 so as to support the seedlings of the plant 1 so that the roots 3 of the plants 1 can be exposed at the top of the storage means 10. That is, the stem or leaf of the plant 1 is exposed to the upper part of the seedling part 20 and the root 3 of the plant 1 is exposed to the lower part of the seedling part 20.

노즐수단(30)은 저장수단(10)에 저장된 물 또는 양액을 식물(1)의 뿌리(3)에 분사시킬 수 있도록 저장수단(10)에 설치된다.The nozzle means 30 is installed in the storage means 10 so that the water or nutrient solution stored in the storage means 10 can be sprayed onto the roots 3 of the plant 1.

조명수단(40)은 모종부(20)의 상부로 노출된 식물(1)에 광을 공급할 수 있도록 모종부(20)의 상부에 위치한다.The illuminating means 40 is located above the seedling portion 20 so as to supply light to the plant 1 exposed above the seedling portion 20.

반사수단(50)은 조명수단(40)에서 공급되는 광이 외부로 배출되지 않고 식물로 집중될 수 있도록 한다. 이를 위하여 반사수단(50)은 광이 식물로 반사할 수 있도록 식물을 둘러싼다.The reflecting means 50 allows the light supplied from the lighting means 40 to be concentrated on the plants without being discharged to the outside. To this end, the reflecting means 50 surrounds the plant so that light can be reflected to the plant.

날개수단(60)은 모종부(20)에 지지된 식물(1)을 바람을 공급할 수 있도록 모종부(20)의 상부에 설치된다.The wing means 60 is installed on top of the seedling portion 20 so as to supply wind to the plant 1 supported by the seedling portion 20.

카메라수단(70)은 식물(1)의 성장을 관찰 수 있는 카메라를 구비하며 식물(1)의 상부에 설치된다.The camera means 70 is provided at the top of the plant 1 with a camera that can observe the growth of the plant 1.
