Generally, barley sprouts have been cultivated in greenhouses, but this has not been able to guarantee the inefficiency of energy, unpredictable production, limit of production due to season and temperature, and inevitably uniformity of product quality.

It is not possible to control the growth of fungal spores attached to the seeds at the early and late harvest time by using seeds once a year after harvest for one year. Therefore, in the second half of the rainy season, it can not produce good products and can affect the health of livestock.

Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2014-0008880 discloses a hydroponic cultivator having an asymmetric drainage pipe using a circular pipe. This is a technique in which a nutrient solution is supplied by a nutrient solution supply pipe and the root of the plant inserted into the pot accessory is submerged in a nutrient solution .

This has the advantage of reducing the pollution and abuse of the nutrient solution by improving the height of the drainage port and improving the space efficiency. However, there is a problem that the nutrient solution pipe must be supplied with nutrient solution or pump to supply the nutrient solution. It is disadvantageous because it is soaked in nutrient solution that the root respiration of the plant is disturbed and the productivity is lowered.

Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2013-0140243 discloses a hydroponic cultivator capable of circulating a nutrient solution using a plastic pipe and an underwater pump. The hydroponic cultivator must also be equipped with a pump to supply nutrients, There is a problem.

Among conventional crops, buds can be cultivated only by supplying water without supplying nutrients. As related prior arts, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2016-0131522 entitled " Quot; control method "(publication date: 2016.11.16), comprising: a cultivation vessel conveyor having a plurality of harvesting vessels for harvesting and cultivating the seeds to be cultivated and horizontally bound to the conveying chains; It is possible to circulate the cultivation vessel conveyor continuously by multiple layers and circulate it in a zigzag manner to provide a uniform cultivation environment such as eliminating the temperature difference between the upper and lower cultivation spaces. In order to operate the harvesting apparatus and seed distribution apparatus, A circulation transfer device including a power gear and a nonmotor gear and a drive motor for projecting and circulating the same; A cultivating vessel carrier slope adjusting device for sloping the cultivation vessel at the harvesting point to easily separate plants from the cultivation vessel; A rotary harvester for automatically harvesting the harvest in the harvesting container when the harvesting container reaches the harvesting point and is tilted in the direction to be harvested; An automatic seed storage feeder for distributing a certain amount of seed from a seed storage tank to a cultivation vessel; A support frame for fixing and installing each of the devices; In order to provide the necessary environment for germination and plant growth of plant seeds, a water spraying device for supplying water and liquid and an LED lighting device for mining, a water storage tank for water supply, and a water collection tank for collecting water, And an auxiliary device installed in the frame such as a water collecting and water sterilizing device for sterilizing and re-supplying the sterilizing water.

Other conventional techniques for cultivating sprouts include Korea Patent No. 10-0284805, "Buckwheat Bud Grower" (registered on December 22, 2000), and the like. In the case of Patent No. 10-0284805, plant seeds that have already been germinated on a flat plate are placed and water is supplied to cultivate the sprouts. However, there is a problem that the root of the sprouts decays or growth is slowed due to inadequate draining on the plate The yield is low.

Further, as disclosed in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1577275 entitled " Environmentally-friendly bud volume mass production apparatus ", filed on Dec. 20, 2015, filed by the applicant of the present invention, And a main body portion including an illuminating portion so as to maintain a brightness, wherein the laminated germinate shelf is constituted by left and right laminated germinate shelves, and the left and right laminated goddam racks (LED) and a spray head sprayed in a mist shape are arranged on the top of each of the sprout shelves, and water spray is applied to opposite sides of the stack sprout line An irrigation unit in which a water tank and a pump are formed to supply water as much as possible, and a lighting unit for controlling the brightness of the LED A cooling / heating unit formed at an upper portion of the main body to adjust the temperature of the inside of the main body, a connection pipe for supplying water to the water tank, and a power connector for supplying external power are formed on the outer surface of the main body. Wherein the left and right stacked sprout shelves are formed to have a structure capable of stacking a plurality of sprout shelves, a drainage channel is formed to be discharged to one side or an inclined side, and a material resistant to moisture is used to prevent secondary contamination due to corrosion, The sprout shelves are arranged on both sides of the stacked sprout shelves so that the center of the sprout shelves is formed in a structure in which passages are arranged so that people can move. Shaped partition is formed, and the coupling protrusions of the partition and the And is formed to be coupled to the plurality of coupling grooves.

Therefore, the conventional hydroponic cultivation apparatus has a disadvantage in that the seeded seeds are germinated in a separate place and then transported to the cultivation room, so that a continuous shipment system of the working environment can not be provided.

In addition, the existing hydroponic cultivation apparatus can not control the growth environment depending on the type of bud feed, and there is a disadvantage that the water dropping time of the shelf can not be controlled according to the crop type of the bud feed.

When the temperature of the water supplied to the bud feed is different from the temperature in the cultivation room, there is a disadvantage that it can act as a negative factor in the growth environment of the sprout seed.
