Hydroponic cultivation refers to a method of cultivating plants in a culture medium made of water-soluble nutrients without using soil, and is called water cultivation or watering. This hydroponic cultivation can directly observe the condition and growth of roots, produce clean uncleaned vegetables and crops, easily grow in the house, and decorate the house. Plants that can be hydroponically cultivated are monocotyledonous plants that are mostly beard roots. They are tuberous plants such as tulips, hyacinths, and daffodils, pineapples, vegetables such as sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, bean sprouts, begonias, , Flower plants such as marigold, ferreromia, ivy, and lucky birds are all hydroponically cultivated. Hydroponic cultivation can also be used as a research tool to find out what nutrients are needed for plant growth when growing plants in the soil.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a biodegradable culture and seeding system according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a delivery tube of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a side view of blood air of FIG.

Referring to FIG. 1, a biodegradable medium seeding system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a transfer device 100, a seeding device 200, and a control unit 300.

The transport apparatus 100 transports a seedling tray in which a plurality of cultivation holes including a medium are formed.

The transporting apparatus 100 may include a transporting unit 110 for transporting the seedling growing tray and a sensor unit (not shown) for sensing a time when the seedling growing tray reaches the seeding position and generating a stop signal. The sensor unit transmits the stop signal to the control unit 300. The control unit 300 receives the stop signal to stop the feeding unit 110 and then operates the seeding apparatus 200, The seeds can be sown. Preferably, the sensor unit may be a photosensor that detects the interruption of light by the seedling tray and generates a signal.

The seeding apparatus 200 applies pressure to the medium of the seedling tray stopped by the stop signal of the sensor unit to form blood flow and seed the seed.

The seeding apparatus 200 includes a seed plate 210 for storing seeds, a blood tool 222 formed to form the blood hole in the medium, and one end connected to the blood tool 222, A seeding tube 220 including a seeding port 224 for guiding a seed to the blood vessel, blood air 230 for entering the blood tool 222 to move up and down to form the blood hole in the medium, And a seed adsorber (240) for adsorbing the seed from the seeding port (224) and dropping the seed to the seeding port (224).

2 and 3, the delivery tube 220 is integrally formed with the blood tool 222 and the seeding port 224, and the blood air 230 is formed in the seeding apparatus 200 A plurality of reaction fins 234 arranged at predetermined intervals in the supporter 232 and entering the blood tool 222 to form the blood holes in the supporter 232 and the supporter 232, And a cylinder 236 for moving the crushing pins 234 up and down. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the blood tool 222 may be formed perpendicularly to the seedling tray so that the blood vessel can be easily formed using the blood air 230.

Preferably, the pushing pin 234 is detachable from the support 232, so that the shape of the end of the pushing pin 234 can be easily changed depending on the type and size of the seed.

Preferably, the culture medium may be a culture medium comprising a foam containing a biodegradable starch, a biodegradable resin and a foaming aid. The medium may further include at least one auxiliary additive selected from the group consisting of a foam cell structure reinforcing agent, a moisture resistance imparting agent, and a compatibilizer.

In addition, the seeding apparatus 200 may further include an irrigation unit (not shown) for supplying moisture to the blood-seeded seeds.

The water supply portion is preferably disposed in front of the seed plate 210 to supply water corresponding to the blood flow of the culture medium when the seedling growing tray is moved. Accordingly, water can be stably supplied to the medium.

Hereinafter, with reference to Fig. 4, the seeding method of the biodegradable medium sowing system of the present invention will be described in more detail.

 When the seedling growing tray is transported to the seeding position by the feeding unit 110, the sensor unit senses the position of the seed growing tray and transmits a stop signal to the control unit 300. According to the stop signal, the feeding unit 110 stops driving and the seedling tray is stopped.

4 (a) to 4 (b), the support bar 232 is lowered by the cylinder 236, so that the repelling pin 234 is moved downward through the blood tool 222 The pressure is applied. Preferably, when the pushing pin 234 reaches the correct position, the sensor senses the position and sends a stop signal to the control unit 300 so that the cylinder 236 may stop moving. At the same time, the seed adsorber 240 is moved over the seed plate 210, and the pressure inside the seed adsorber 240 is instantaneously lowered, so that seeds are attached to the adsorption nozzle of the seed adsorber 240. The seed adsorber 240 adsorbing the seed moves over the seeding port 224 of the delivery tube 220 and the pressure inside the seed adsorber 240 returns to the atmospheric pressure when the seeding pin 234 descends So that the seed can be dropped into the seeding port 224.

The seeding port 224 is formed so as to communicate at one end in the diagonal direction of the blood tool 222. When the spraying pin 234 descends to form blood flow, The repelling pin 234 of the blood air 230 functions to shut off the lower end of the seeding port 224 even if the seed 240 drops the seed so that the seed is prevented from falling to a position other than the blood hole can do. 4 (c), the lower end of the seeding port 224 is opened as the cylinder 236 is lifted up, so that the seedling can be stably sprayed into the blood flow. That is, the blood air 230 moves up and down to form blood flow, and seeds can be seeded in the blood flow.

When the seed is seeded in the blood hole by the above method, the control unit 300 can operate the transport unit 110 to move the seedling growing tray.

Preferably, the water supply portion is disposed in front of the seed plate 210 so as to supply water to the seeds by supplying moisture corresponding to the blood seeds in which the seeds are seeded, thereby completing the seeding operation.

The seedling tray sown by the seeding operation is continuously transported, and the seedling tray can be processed by the operator.

  While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical and exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, It will be understood by those skilled 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 by the appended claims.
