It is a perspective view for explaining, FIG. 3 is a configuration diagram for explaining a cultivation apparatus of a cultivation system using an absorbent medium for hydroponics according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is an absorption for hydroponics according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a configuration diagram for explaining the management server of the cultivation system using the medium.

1 to 4 , the cultivation system using the absorbent medium for hydroponics according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a cultivation device 100 and a management server 200 .

As the cultivation apparatus 100 and the management server 200 are connected to each other using a communication network, communication may be possible.

In some embodiments, the communication network comprises the Internet, one or more local area networks, wire area networks, cellular networks, mobile networks, other types of networks, or a combination of these networks. and can utilize known communication methods that can be delivered in a short distance such as Bluetooth, Zigbee, and Infra-red.

The cultivation apparatus 100 may include a plurality of cultivation trays 110 , a sensor unit 120 , a cultivation environment control unit 130 , a control unit 140 , and a communication unit 150 . The cultivation apparatus 100 may use a plurality of layer cultivation according to vertical farming for maximum possible use of the available surface area. The plant may be housed in a cultivation tray 110 that includes an absorbent medium for accommodating the roots of the plant therein.

The cultivation tray 110 is fixed to the cultivation apparatus 100 , and a cultivation space for plants may be provided.

5 is a perspective view for explaining the configuration of the absorption medium installed on the cultivation tray of the cultivation system using the absorption medium for hydroponics according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 5 , the cultivation tray 110 may include an absorption medium 111 absorbing the sprayed water. The absorbent medium 111 is formed of absorbent papers 111a and 111b at upper and lower portions, and a superabsorbent polymer resin 111c may be provided in the center. At this time, by seating and fixing the seeds on the upper absorbent paper 111a in order to grow plants, it is possible to create an environment in which plants can grow. The absorbent papers 111a and 111c may absorb or permeate moisture. For example, the absorbent paper (111a, 111c) may be formed of a material capable of absorbing moisture, such as an absorbent cloth or an absorbent mat, and also, the absorbent paper (111a, 111c) may transmit moisture such as a mesh.

That is, in the absorption medium 111 , the water sprayed from the cultivation environment control unit 130 may flow into the superabsorbent polymer resin 111b through the absorption papers 111a and 111c and be absorbed. The superabsorbent polymer resin 111b absorbs water and swells to be adsorbed with the upper and lower absorbent papers 111a and 111c. In this way, the absorption medium 111 holds the water sprayed from the cultivation environment control unit 130 in which the superabsorbent polymer resin 111b is sprayed, and then discharges the water according to the surrounding environment through the upper absorbent paper 111a through the upper absorbent paper. Water can be maintained so that water is continuously supplied to the roots of plants that are seated in (111a). For example, when the water spraying device 134 sprays water, water is provided to the plants and the superabsorbent polymer resin 111b holds water, and as time elapses, the absorbent papers 111a and 111b become dry. Then, the superabsorbent polymer resin 111b may supply water to the absorbent paper 111a by discharging water. In addition, the water absorption power of the bottom surface of the cultivation tray 110 may be increased through the lower absorbent paper 111b.

The cultivation environment analysis module 230 may set the cultivation environment based on the cultivation environment information and plant cultivation information collected by the collection module 220 . Specifically, the cultivation environment analysis module 230 may estimate the degree of plant growth from the period in which the cultivation environment information is collected. Also, the cultivation environment analysis module 230 may set the cultivation environment based on plant cultivation information corresponding to the estimated plant growth level. For example, the period during which the cultivation environment information is collected is 2 weeks, and the cultivation environment of a plant grown for 2 weeks may be extracted from the plant cultivation information and set as the cultivation environment. That is, when the suitable cultivation environment of a plant grown for two weeks is 20 to 24 degrees and the humidity is 70% to 75%, it can be set as a suitable cultivation environment.

The cultivation environment control module 240 may control the cultivation environment controller 130 to satisfy the cultivation environment set for the cultivated plant by the cultivation environment analysis module 230 .

It is possible to generate cultivation environment control information for controlling the cultivation environment control unit 130 to satisfy it. For example, when the preset cultivation environment for the cultivated plant is 20°C to 24°C and the humidity is 70% to 75%, the cultivation environment information received from the cultivation device 100 is cultivated to be included in the corresponding range. It is possible to generate cultivation environment control information for controlling the environment controller 130 .
