It relates to a simple plant cultivator capable of significantly improving the efficiency and productivity of plant cultivation by applying a cultivation port compatible with a closed cultivator.

Recently, consumer interest and demand for eco-friendly crops are rapidly increasing.

In order to meet the interest and demand of such users, technologies and products related to home plant cultivators capable of easily cultivating plants such as vegetables at home are being developed.

In general, the method of growing plants at home is to fill the inside of a container such as a pot with an open top with culture soil, plant various seeds or plants in the culture soil, and then supply moisture at regular intervals to the environment necessary for culturing the plant ( lighting, ventilation, etc.) was common.

However, it is very cumbersome to create an environment for growing plants using culture soil at home, and it is not easy to obtain suitable culture soil.

As an alternative to the traditional cultivation method using such cultured soil, the proportion of plant cultivators using hydroponic cultivation method using culture water in which water and culture medium are mixed in a certain ratio suitable for home use is gradually increasing.

In general, home plant cultivators of the hydroponic cultivation method can be divided into a closed type in which the cultivation environment in which plants are grown is formed as a closed room inside the cultivation room, and an open type in which the cultivation environment is exposed to the room as it is.

Regarding the open type plant cultivator, Japanese Patent Laid-open Publication No. 2014-000023 (Prior Document 001) includes a hydroponic cultivation unit, a base unit for supporting the hydroponic cultivation unit, and a lighting unit for irradiating light to the hydroponic cultivation unit. The configuration of a plant cultivator is disclosed.

Here, the hydroponic cultivation unit has a medium suitable for hydroponic cultivation of plants, and corresponds to a configuration referred to as a cultivation pod or a cultivation pot in the related art.

However, the plant cultivator disclosed in Prior Document 001 has a problem in that disassembly and assembly operations for periodic cleaning are very cumbersome because the individual components that perform each function are not modularized.

In addition, the hydroponic cultivation unit of Prior Document 001 corresponding to the cultivation pod or cultivation port is capable of cultivating only a very small amount of plants, and is configured to be incompatible with a closed-type plant cultivator capable of relatively large-scale cultivation. Therefore, there is a problem that the efficiency and productivity of plant cultivation are very low.

In addition, the culture water containing the culture solution is stored in the main body of Prior Document 001, but the main body is formed of a material with very high light transmittance. Therefore, since the culture solution is directly exposed to the light of illumination, the inside of the main body is inevitably a very favorable environment for the growth of moss, and the inside of the main body has a problem that the possibility of contamination by moss is very high.

The port cover 31 serves to cover the upper surface of the port body 32 by being coupled to the open upper surface of the port body 32 .

Accordingly, the port cover 31 may have a rectangular shape in which the width in the left-right direction is greater than the width in the front-back direction corresponding to the shape of the upper surface of the port body 32 .

In addition, the port cover 31 serves to support the upper end 331 of the individual medium 33 . Specifically, the upper end 331 of the individual badge 33 is attached to the lower surface of the port cover 31.

In the port cover 31 , a through hole may be formed at a position corresponding to the individual medium 33 so that plants can grow in response to the individual medium 33 .

As for the configuration of the other redistribution unit 30, a method previously known in the art can be applied, so description of overlapping parts with previously known parts will be omitted below.

11 and 12 are exploded perspective views of the water container 20 on which the redistribution port 30 is mounted or seated. A detailed configuration of the water tank unit 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12 .

The water bottle unit 20 includes a water bottle body 21 in which cultivation water is stored and an upper surface thereof is entirely open.

Similar to the port body 32 described above, the water bottle body 21 may have a rectangular box shape with an entirely open upper surface and a width in the left-right direction larger than that in the front-back direction. However, since the redoport part 30 is accommodated inside the water bottle body 21, the size of the pot body 32 may be larger than the size of the redoport part 30.

The bottom surface 212 of the water bottle body 21 is supported in surface contact with the bottom surface of the first body body 11 as described above. Therefore, the bottom surface 212 of the bucket body 21 may be provided in a flat surface form so that the bottom surface and the surface contact state of the first main body body 11 being a flat surface can be maintained.

On the other hand, in order to configure the box shape, the outer wall surface extending upward from the bottom surface 212 is a small amount while proceeding to the top 211 in consideration of the moldability of the water bottle body 21 manufactured by the plastic injection molding method. It can be formed to have a slope gradient of. However, it has a smaller gradient than the gradient of the outer wall surface 323 of the port body 32 described above.

On the other hand, a curved surface 2122 having a predetermined curvature is formed at a portion where the front surface 213, the rear surface 214, the left surface 215, and the right surface 216 constituting the outer wall surface are connected to the bottom surface 212, respectively. It can be. As shown in FIG. 14 , the curved surface 2122 together with the rear surface 2211 of the water bottle cover 22 may form a water bottle portion holding space S2 for facilitating user grip.

On the other hand, as described above, at the bottom of the bottom surface 212 of the water bottle body 21, a guide rib 2121 as a positioning means for setting the proper position where the water bottle 20 is to be seated and preventing separation from the proper position. ) may be provided.

The guide rib 2121 may be integrally formed on the lower part of the bottom surface 212 of the water bottle body 21 .

The guide rib 2121 may have an outer shape corresponding to the shape of the upper entrance 1221 of the engagement groove 122 so as to be inserted into the engagement groove 122 formed in the second main body 12 .

As illustratively shown, the guide ribs 2121 may be provided in a barrier shape in which the protruding height and thickness from the bottom surface 212 are maintained constant.

In addition, corresponding to the shape of the upper entrance 1221 of the engaging groove 122, which becomes a rectangular shape, the guide rib 2121 may have a rectangular shape with a width in the front-back direction smaller than the width in the left-right direction, and the corner to be advantageous for injection molding. The part may be provided in a curved shape.

On the other hand, the water bottle portion 20 is coupled to the upper side of the water bottle body 21, may further include a water bottle cover 22 that at least partially covers the open upper surface of the water bottle body 21.

As shown by way of example, the water bottle cover 22 may have a rectangular box shape in which a lower surface is entirely open and an upper surface is partially open.

In a state coupled to the water bottle body 21, the outer wall surface 221 of the water bottle cover 22 is formed to entirely cover the outer wall surface of the water bottle body 21 as a whole.

As described above, the rear surface 2211 of the outer wall surface 221 of the water bottle cover 22 is directly exposed to the outside when coupled to the body portion 10 described later, and part of the rear surface of the simple plant cultivator 1 will form At this time, to form a sense of unity, the rear surface 2211 of the water bottle cover 22 forms a continuous surface with the outer surfaces 10c and 10d of the body portion 10.

Of the outer wall surface 221 of the water bottle cover 22, the front surface 2214, the left surface 2212, and the right surface 2213 correspond to parts that are not exposed to the outside in a state coupled to the body portion 10. However, the front surface 2214, left side 2212 and right side 2213 of the water bottle cover 22 may be formed to have a shape corresponding to the inner surface of the engagement groove 122 of the second main body 12.

Among the lower ends 223 of the outer wall surface 221, the lower end of the rear surface 2211 together with the corner curved surface 2122 of the aforementioned bucket body 21 forms a bucket holding space.

On the other hand, the upper end 222 of the outer wall surface 221 may be provided with an extension surface 2215 extending in a direction covering the open upper surface of the water bottle body 21 integrally.

The expansion surface 2215 may be formed to have a downward gradient toward the water bottle body 21 when proceeding toward the inside. In addition, the extension surface 2215 may form a curved surface having an upwardly convex curvature.

Since the expansion surface 2215 is formed as a curved surface with a downward slope, as will be described later, between the outer wall surfaces 3112 and 3122 of the port cover 31 of the redistribution unit 30 and the expansion surface 2215 As shown in 14, a redoport holding space S3 may be formed.

Meanwhile, a bearing surface 224 supporting the redoport unit 30 may be integrally formed at an inner corner of the extension surface 2215 .

More specifically, the bearing surface 224 includes a horizontal surface portion 2241 extending in a horizontal direction from the inner edge of the extension surface 2215 and an inclined surface portion extending with a downward gradient from the inner edge of the horizontal surface portion 2241 ( 2242) may be included.

The horizontal surface portion 2241 may have a track shape extending in a horizontal direction. The lower end of the outer wall surface 3112 of the first cover part 311 of the redistribution part 30 and the lower end of the outer wall surface 3122 of the second cover part 312 are in contact with the upper surface of the horizontal surface part 2241. It can be supported while standing.

That is, in a state where the redport unit 30 is mounted, the horizontal surface portion 2241 supports the redport unit 30 in the direction of gravity and serves to prevent separation.

Meanwhile, the inclined surface portion 2242 is continuously formed on the horizontal surface portion 2241 and may extend with a downward gradient. The inside of the inclined surface portion 2242 remains open as a whole, and the open portion functions as an insertion hole 225 into which the port body 32 of the redistribution portion 30 is inserted downward.

In a state where the redoport unit 30 is mounted, the outer wall surface of the port body 32 of the aforementioned redoport unit 30 may be supported on the upper surface of the inclined surface unit 2242 in a state of being in surface contact. In order to effectively maintain the surface contact, the draft angle of the inclined surface portion 2242 of the rough surface 224 and the draft angle of the outer wall surface of the port body 32 may be set to be the same at least in the portion where the surface contact occurs.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the port cover 31 is supported by the horizontal surface portion 2241 of the bearing surface 224, and the port body 32 is supported by the inclined surface portion 2242. This can be achieved, and the load of the port cover 31 can be effectively distributed.

In addition, through the structure of 224 when passing through the redporting unit 30, a double support structure for the redporting unit 30 can be achieved, and automatically through an operation of simply holding the redporting unit 30. A positioning structure in which the correct positioning of the redistributing unit 30 can be achieved can be achieved.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 , the area of the port cover 31 is larger than that of the insertion hole 225 . Therefore, the insertion hole 225 formed inside the passing surface 224 in a state where the redistribution unit 30 is seated on the passing surface 224 is completely blocked or completely covered by the port cover 31 as a whole. can be maintained

Through this, the probability that the light irradiated to the light source unit enters the inside of the bucket body 21 is significantly reduced.

At this time, as described above, since at least the port cover 31 is formed of a plastic material having an opaque material, the possibility of light being transmitted into the water bottle body 21 can be further reduced.

For the same reason, the water bottle cover 22 to which light from the light source unit is directly irradiated may be formed of a plastic material having an opaque material.

In this way, through means for preventing light from being transmitted into the water bottle body 21, it is possible to minimize the possibility of moss occurring inside the water bottle body 21.

On the other hand, the water bottle cover 22 may be forcibly coupled to the water bottle body 21 in a fastening manner. As a force coupling means of the fastening method, the water tank unit 20 may include a pair of fastening levers 23 .

Illustratively, as shown, the fastening lever 23 has a plate-shaped rotation in which the upper end 231 is rotatably connected to the water bottle cover 22 and the lower end 232 is detachably and forcibly coupled to the water bottle body 21. can be a lever

For example, one of the pair of fastening levers 23 is rotatably connected to the left side 2212 of the water bottle cover 22, and the other is rotatably connected to the right side 2213 of the water bottle cover 22. can be connected

On one side of the fastening lever 23, a locking protrusion 233 protruding toward the water bottle body 21 may be integrally provided.

At this time, the locking protrusion 233 may be disposed adjacent to the lower end of the fastening lever 23 .

One end of the locking protrusion 233 may be integrally connected to the fastening lever 23, and a hook may be formed at the other end of the locking protrusion 233.

As a position corresponding to the hook of the locking protrusion 233, the left side 215 and the right side 216 of the water bottle body 21 are each formed with a locking groove 216 to which the hook of the locking protrusion 233 is forcibly coupled. can

The locking groove 216 may be formed by being depressed toward the inside of the water bottle portion 20 from the left side 215 and the right side 216 of the water bottle body 21, respectively.

Meanwhile, the water tank unit 20 may further include a water level display unit 24 provided to be movable in the vertical direction according to the water level of the cultivation water stored in the water tank body 21 .

Illustratively, the water level display unit 24 may be disposed adjacent to the right side 2213 of the water bottle cover 22 . As a position adjacent to the right side 2213 of the water bottle cover 22, a guide hole penetrating in the vertical direction may be formed in the expansion surface 2215 of the water bottle cover 22.

The water level display unit 24 includes an exposure unit 241 provided to be movable in the vertical direction along the guide hole, and a buoyancy force disposed inside the water bottle body 21 and forming vertical buoyancy according to the level of stored regeneration water. The generating unit 243, the connecting rod 242 connecting the exposed unit 241 and the buoyancy generating unit 243, and a separation prevention cap coupled to the lower part of the guide hole and preventing the water level display unit 24 from escaping ( 244) may be configured.

An upper surface of the exposed portion 241 is exposed upward through a guide hole. Therefore, through the position of the exposure unit 241 that moves up and down in conjunction with the water level, the user can easily grasp the water level and remaining amount of the cultivated water.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 13, the release prevention cap 244 forms the lower end of the guide hole while being attached to the lower part of the guide hole. At this time, the release prevention cap 244 may have a color completely different from that of the water bottle cover 22 .

That is, if the separation prevention cap 244 is configured to have a high visibility color such as red, when the exposed portion 241 is moved to a position lower than the top of the separation prevention cap 244, the user can ), and through this, it is possible to intuitively confirm that the water level of the cultivated water has been lowered.

At this time, the lowermost positions of the water level display unit 24 and the buoyancy generating unit 243 may be defined by the inner surface of the above-described locking groove 216. That is, the inner surface of the locking groove 216 may act as a stopper defining the lower end of the buoyancy generator 243 of the water level display unit 24 .

On the other hand, as described above, the insertion hole 225 formed inside the passing surface 224 in a state in which the redistribution unit 30 is seated on the passing surface 224 is completely blocked by the port cover 31 as a whole. can be maintained That is, since a gap is hardly created between the water bottle cover 22 and the red port portion 30 in a state where the red pot part 30 is seated, it is almost impossible to supply the red water to the inside of the water bottle body 21. do.

However, the simple plant cultivator according to an embodiment of the present invention provides a means for supplying cultivation water to the inside of the water bottle body 21 even when the cultivation port unit 30 is seated.

In this way, as a means for supplying red water without separating the red pot unit 30, at least one red water supply formed concavely formed in a direction away from the insertion hole 225 on the rough surface 224 of the water bottle cover 22. A groove 226 may be provided.

These regeneration water supply grooves 226 communicate with the insertion hole 225 and are integrated with the insertion hole 225 .

The red water supply groove 226 is formed on the lower side of the connection part 313 of the port cover 31 forming the minimum width in the front-back direction of the port cover 31. In addition, the width of the red water supply groove 226 in the left-right direction may be larger than that of the port cover 31 in the left-right direction.

Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17 , at least the inner end of the red water supply groove 226 can be maintained in a separated state or spaced apart from the port cover 31 and the port body 32 .

Therefore, the user can replenish the cultivation water into the water container body 21 through the cultivation water supply groove 226 without separating the cultivation port unit 30 from the water tank unit 20, and through this, the user's Convenience can be improved.

However, as shown in FIG. 16, the maximum width between the cultivation water supply grooves 226 in the front-back direction may be formed to be slightly larger than the width of the connection portion 313 of the port cover 31 in the front-back direction.

That is, the inside of the water bottle body 21 may be slightly opened in the vertical direction from the position where the cultivation water supply grooves 226 are formed. However, since this amount of opening can be maintained at a fairly small level, the amount of light irradiated from the light source unit 60 directly transmitted into the inside of the water bottle body 21 can be kept to a minimum.

Meanwhile, FIG. 18 shows the configuration of a simple plant cultivator according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

Unlike the first embodiment, in the simple plant cultivator according to the second embodiment, the water container 20 may be formed such that the second main body 12 is integrally formed.

That is, the outer surface of the water bottle cover 22 is configured to form the outer surface of the simple plant cultivator as a whole.

However, even in the case of the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the water tank portion 20 is maintained in a state supported by the first main body 11 and a simple mounted state.

That is, the user may be configured to easily separate the water bottle portion 20 from the first main body 11 by simply lifting the water bottle portion 20 upward.

As described above, the present invention has been described with reference to the drawings illustrated, but the present invention is not limited by the embodiments and drawings disclosed herein, and various modifications are made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. It is obvious that variations can be made. In addition, although the operation and effect according to the configuration of the present invention have not been explicitly described and described while describing the embodiments of the present invention above, it is natural that the effects predictable by the corresponding configuration should also be recognized.
