Meanwhile, the air conditioning unit 200 is connected to the cultivation room 120 via the supply duct SD and the circulating duct CD. That is, the supply duct SD functions to supply the air that has passed through the air conditioning unit 200 to the cultivation room 120 of the housing 100, and the circulation duct CD is connected to the cultivation room 120, And circulates the air in the cultivation room 120 by connecting the part 200 to the culture room.

The reason why the supply duct SD and the circulating duct CD are separately provided is to uniformly supply the air introduced into the cultivation room 120 into the interior space of the cultivation room. To this end, it is preferable that the supply duct SD is formed long in a direction in which the cultivation tray 300 is installed, and a plurality of discharge holes H are spaced apart at predetermined intervals by punching the bottom surface of the supply duct SD.

Since the amount of air supplied to the cultivation room 120 through the circulation duct CD is about 70 to 95% of the air present in the cultivation room 120, air is circulated 20 times or more per hour, It is desirable that air in a uniform state be present in all the spaces inside the chamber 120. It is preferable to install a preliminary filter (not shown) in the circulating duct CD to remove the spores of the mushroom or dust of a predetermined size contained in the circulating air generated in the cultivation room 120.

The air conditioning unit 200 may include a main body 210, a biofilter 240, a HEPA filter 250, a temperature control unit 260, and an air blowing unit 270.

In general, various environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration, aseptic condition, and light dose should be supported to improve productivity and quality of mushroom.

The air conditioning unit 200 functions to adjust the state of the air supplied to the cultivation room 120 to match the growth environment of the mushroom, A function of filtering the virus, a function of adjusting the temperature of the air to be suitable for growth of the mushroom, a function of controlling the amount of air supplied from the outside according to the concentration of carbon dioxide in the housing 100, and the like.

The main body 210 may include various types of materials such as the biofilter 240 and the hepafar filter 240. The biofilter 240 may be formed in the main body 210, 250, a temperature control unit 260, an air blowing unit 270, and the like.

A supply damper 220 is installed on one side of the main body 210 and an exhaust damper 230 is installed on the other side of the main body 210 so that the opening and closing degree and the opening degree are determined by the control unit 500 described above.

The air supplied to the cultivation room 120 may be fresh air supplied from the outside or air circulated through the circulation duct CD in the cultivation room 120. That is, the air introduced into the air supply damper 220 and the air circulated through the circulation duct CD are mixed in the main body 210 and pass through the HEPA filter 250 and the temperature control unit 260, Is exhausted to the exhaust damper 230 by the unit 270 and supplied to the cultivation room 120 through the supply duct SD.

The air blowing unit 270 may include a motor 272 and a blower 274 that receives the driving force of the motor 272 and rotates and the motor 272 and the blower 274 are connected to the power transmission belt 276 If necessary, the motor 272 receives an operation signal from the control unit 500, and the rotation speed of the motor 272 is controlled by the control unit 500.

The degree of opening and closing of the air supply damper 220 and the exhaust damper 230 may be controlled by the control unit 500 according to the concentration of carbon dioxide in the cultivation room 120. The air blowing unit 270 may also be operated, And the temperature control unit 260 can be controlled in terms of operation and degree of operation.

The biofilter 240 and the HEPA filter 250 function to filter viruses such as fungi that are contained in the air supplied to the cultivation room 120 and interfere with the growth of mushrooms, Respectively. The biofilter 240 performs a primary filtering function and the HEPA filter 250 performs a secondary filtering function on the primary filtered air.

The biofilter 240 primarily filters contaminants contained in the air using eco-friendly enzymes or microorganisms, and the HEPA filter 250 is a high-performance microfilter capable of filtering up to 99.97% of 0.3 μm particles. Dust and various fungi contained in the air are prevented from flowing into the cultivation room 120.

The air passing through the biofilter 240 and the heparin filter 250 reaches the aseptic state and passes through the temperature control unit 260, which will be described later.

On the other hand, the threshold temperature of mushroom is different depending on the variety, but it is generally around 15 ℃, and this temperature is closely related to the quality and growth period of mushroom, so it must be strictly controlled.

Mushroom mycelium is strong at low temperature, but at high temperatures it has a weak nature, so it is aging fast at high temperature in summer and death is severe at high temperature in summer.

In addition, mushrooms are more susceptible to mushroom growth, as mushrooms grow faster and produce more mushrooms as temperature varies with relative temperature.

Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the temperature of the air flowing into the cultivation room 120 in order to create the above-mentioned temperature environment. In the present invention, the temperature control unit 260 is installed inside the body 210, Lt; / RTI >

The temperature control unit 260 preferably includes a selectively operating cooler 262 and a heater 264.

The cooler 262 is for cooling the air supplied from outside in summer, and the heater 264 is for heating the air supplied from outside the winter. The cooler 262 is a primary cooling pre-cooling coil and a secondary cooling Or possibly a cooling coil.

The cooler 262 and the heater 264 are operated by the control unit 500. When the temperature of the cultivation room 120 of the housing 100 is measured by the sensor unit 400 and transmitted to the control unit, 500 transmits the operation signal to the cooler 262 or the heater 264 so that the temperature of the cultivation room 120 can reach a predetermined temperature by comparing with the temperature data of the mushroom cultivated in the cultivation room 120 will be.

On the other hand, the hygroscopicity of the mushroom during the growth of the mushroom should be maintained at 90% or more, so that the hypha does not die off and the moisture content of the medium is also reduced. In the early stage of mushroom development, the humidity can be kept high by 90%, and the mushrooms can be harvested by gradually lowering the humidity to 70% as the mushroom grows.

The present inventor has recognized the importance of the above-described humidity control and applied the humidity control unit 700 to the present invention.

The humidity control unit 700 is configured to control the humidity inside the cultivation room 120 of the housing 100. The sensor unit 400 measures the humidity inside the cultivation room 120 in real time, The control unit 500 transmits an operation signal to the humidity control unit 700 so that the humidity in the actual cultivation room can reach the optimum reference humidity in comparison with the optimum humidity according to the mushroom variety input in the control unit 500.

The humidity control unit 700 may be implemented in various forms, for example, a sprinkling nozzle may be installed in the cultivation room 120. In the case of installing the watering nozzle, it is possible to optimize the internal humidity of the cultivation room 120 by installing a plurality of watering nozzles in the inner walls of the culturing room as well as spraying water in the air.

In this way, the sensor unit 400 measures temperature and humidity inside the cultivation room 120 of the housing 100 in real time, and transmits information on temperature and humidity to the control unit 500. In the control unit 500, The temperature control unit 260 and the humidity control unit 700 are controlled so as to determine whether the temperature and the humidity are within the range of the reference temperature and the reference humidity, The inside of the cultivation room 120 can always maintain the optimum temperature and humidity necessary for growth of the mushroom.

More specifically, when the temperature of the cultivation room 120 is low, the heater 264 operates to increase the temperature of the air. When the temperature of the cultivation room 120 is high, the cooler 262 operates to lower the temperature of the air, The operation of the humidity control unit 700 is stopped and the heater 264 is operated and when the humidity is low, the humidity control unit 700 is operated to maintain the optimum temperature and humidity required for growth of the mushroom It will be.

The humidity control unit 700 may be installed in the main body 210 of the air conditioning unit 200. When the humidity control unit is installed inside the main body 210, And it is preferable to control the humidity of the air by evaporating water by directly heating water or by evaporating water by using ultrasonic waves instead of the water spray nozzle type described above.

Meanwhile, the mobile mushroom cultivation system having the remote control function of the present invention has a function of controlling the concentration of carbon dioxide in the cultivation room 120 of the housing 100.

Unlike higher plants, mushroom mycelium is a leafless microorganism that can not perform photosynthesis. It absorbs nutrients from dead plants such as rice straw, mulch, and consumes oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.

During the mycelial growth, that is, during the nutrition growth period, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the cultivation room 120 should be maintained at about 3000 ppm or less. When mushrooms are produced, they consume a large amount of oxygen and discharge carbon dioxide and noxious gas. If these gases are accumulated in the cultivation room 120 of the housing 100, the growth of the mushroom is delayed, As it suffocates and kills, absolutely fresh air must be supplied immediately after mushroom development.

In other words, in a well-ventilated room, high-quality mushrooms can be collected in a large amount. However, in a well-ventilated space, mushrooms are killed by the accumulated gas, and mycelium is aged faster and the mushroom yield is reduced. When the concentration of carbon dioxide in the cultivation room (120) becomes 0.08%, the mushroom shrub becomes smaller and the stem becomes longer and the harvest is delayed, and when the concentration is 0.1%, the young mushroom is killed.

The sensor unit 400 measures the concentration of carbon dioxide in the cultivation room 120 of the housing 100 in real time and transmits it to the control unit 500. The control unit 500 calculates the actual carbon dioxide It is determined whether the concentration is in an appropriate range. If the concentration is out of the appropriate range, fresh air is introduced into the cultivation room 120 while discharging the culture room 120 air to the outside.

The control unit 500 sends an open signal to the air ventilation damper 140 installed in the cultivation room 120 to discharge the air from the cultivation room 120 of the housing 100 to the outside, And transmits an open signal to the air supply damper 220 installed in the main body 210 in order to flow the air into the air supply damper 220.

That is, when the concentration of carbon dioxide is high, the air ventilation damper 140 is opened to discharge the air inside the cultivation room 120 to the outside, and the air supply damper 220 is opened to supplement the outside air into the cultivation room 120 .

Accordingly, since the carbon dioxide concentration can be maintained within the reference range, the control unit 500 can adjust the opening angle of the air supply damper 220 to minimize the inflow air and maintain the optimum concentration of carbon dioxide in the cultivation room 120 do.

The movable mushroom cultivation system having the remote control function of the present invention may further include an image photographing unit 900 and an illumination unit 800. [

The intensity of the light should be controlled during mushroom cultivation. In order for mushroom hyphae to develop, light is not necessary at all, but for the generation and growth of mushrooms, light of a certain intensity is required, and strong light above a certain level interferes with the development and growth of mushrooms.

In the present invention, the illumination unit 800 is provided to provide optimal light necessary for the generation and growth of mushrooms, since the mushrooms need about 40 to 240 lux.

A three-wavelength fluorescent lamp, an LED, or the like may be used as the illumination unit 800. In the present invention, an LED that minimizes heat generation is used in consideration of energy efficiency. The position and arrangement of the illumination unit 800 may vary depending on the position and size of the cultivation tray 300 installed in the cultivation room 120 of the housing 100.

The image capturing unit 900 photographs the growth state of mushrooms and provides them to the wireless terminal 600. Various means such as CCTV may be employed. The growth state of the mushroom photographed by the image capturing unit 900 is provided to the expert through the wireless terminal 600 so that the expert can provide various advice to the person who cultivates the mushroom without visiting the field.
