The opening 24 is opened by the portion 24, and the user (not shown) can use the content chamber 23 via the opening 24 (for example, placing the plant in the content chamber 23, as will be described in detail below); the partition 29 is longitudinal Inserted into the content chamber 23 and extended to contact the cover body 27, and the partition plate 29 divides the content chamber 23 into a left content chamber 231 and a right content chamber 232. The partition plate 29 is opened at the lower portion and has a plurality of through holes 291. A plurality of through holes 291 are connected to the left content chamber 231 and the right content chamber 232; the vent holes 25 are formed on the ring wall 22 and correspond to the right content chamber 232; the infusion tube 26 is mounted on the ring wall 22 and corresponds to the right The content chamber 232 defines a liquid outlet 261 and a liquid inlet 262. The air suction device 28 (for example, a fan) is mounted on the ring wall 22 and corresponds to the left content chamber 231 and communicates with the left content chamber 231. The outside, that is, the air extracting device 28 and the venting opening 25 are located on opposite sides of the annular wall 22, both of which may form air convection; the light source 20 (eg, daylight) , LED lights, etc., required for the cultivation of which is desired visual animals and plants using different light sources, such light sources having different wavelengths) system is mounted on the cover body 27 and the content corresponding to the right compartment 232.

In addition, in the embodiment, a plurality of media members 7 are used in a plurality of gravel, which are disposed in the content chamber 23 of the cultivation box 2 and located on the bottom wall 21; the fogging device 3 is placed in the a plurality of media members 7 corresponding to the liquid outlet holes 261 of the infusion tube 26; the liquid storage tank 4 is disposed under the bottom wall 21 of the cultivation box 2 and has a liquid outlet 41 and a liquid discharge port 42; 5 is connected to the liquid outlet 41 of the liquid storage tank 4 in a liquid communication manner; the cooling device 6 is connected to the liquid inlet 262 of the filtering device 5 and the infusion pipe 26 in a liquid communication manner; the controller 8 is electrically connected to the air suction device 28, the light source 20, the fog making device 3, the filtering device 5 and cooling Device 6.

Please refer to FIG. 5 , which is a schematic diagram of the use state of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 together.

When in use, the user (not shown) may first open the lid 27 and insert the animal or plant to be cultivated through the opening portion 24, such as the wasabi 9 shown in the figure, and insert the wasabi 9 into a plurality of media. Between items 7. In addition, in the liquid storage tank 4, a mixed liquid (not shown) in which water or water and a nutrient solution (which may be different from the nutrients to be cultivated) are added, and then the air extracting device is performed by the controller 8. 28. Control of the light source 20, the fogging device 3, the filtering device 5 and the cooling device 6.

During operation, the liquid flows into the filtering device 5 through the liquid outlet 41 of the liquid storage tank 4, is filtered by the filtering device 5, and then flows into the cooling device 6. The cooling device 6 can cool and cool the liquid (depending on the plant and plant to be cultivated) It needs to be lowered to a specific temperature), and then the liquid flows into the infusion tube 26 through the liquid inlet hole 262 of the infusion tube 26, and then the liquid flows out (or drops) from the liquid outlet hole 261 of the infusion tube 26, at this time, corresponding to the outflow. The misting device 3 provided in the liquid hole 261 forms a mist in the liquid.

Further, the controller 8 controls the air extracting device 28 to operate for pumping (exhaustion), and air flows in through the vent hole 25. In other words, the air extracting device 28 and the vent hole 25 allow the air in the content chamber 23 of the cultivation box 2 to be formed. Circulating flow (convection), so that the animal and plant (manila 9) to be cultivated can be breathed.

After the air flows in through the vent hole 25, a misty liquid is formed by the action of the fogging device 3 and flows down to a plurality of dielectric members 7 located in the right content chamber 232 (because of the barrier of the partition 29 and the air suction device) The role of 28, the air will flow down), At this time, a plurality of dielectric members 7 adhere to form a misty liquid and are wetted, thereby forming a water (nutrient) component required for the animal and plant to be cultivated (Mossula 9). Thereafter, air flows from the right content chamber 232 to the left content chamber 231 through the plurality of through holes 291 in the lower portion of the partition plate 29, and is then evacuated (exhausted) by the air extracting device 28 to the outside.

In addition, the liquid attached to the plurality of dielectric members 7 (for example, the above-mentioned water or a mixed liquid of water and nutrient solution) is dropped down to the reservoir 4 through the bottom wall 21 having an open mesh shape, and then The liquid outlet 41 of the reservoir 4 flows into the filtering device 5, after which the process as described above forms a circulating flow of liquid.

As described above, the structure and operation of the plant and animal cultivation apparatus 1 are extremely simple, that is, an animal or plant (for example, wasabi, Cordyceps sinensis) which needs to be grown in a low temperature environment can be cultivated by a simple structural design. In other words, by the structural design of the animal and plant cultivation apparatus 1 described above, the structure can be simplified and the cost can be reduced and the usability can be increased.

The above-mentioned liquid storage tank 4 still has a liquid discharge port 42. When used for a long time, the liquid located in the liquid storage tank 4 may be too dirty, and at this time, the liquid discharge port 42 may be opened to drain the dirty liquid. The liquid discharge port 42 is designed to allow the liquid to be quickly discharged by the change in the aperture. Since the liquid flow rate is fast, the dirt can be easily discharged with the liquid. Thereafter, water or a mixed liquid of water and nutrient solution may be further added to the reservoir 4 to replenish the amount of discharged liquid.

In addition, the controller 8 is electrically connected to the air extracting device 28, the light source 20, the fogging device 3, the filtering device 5, and the cooling device 6. The controller 8 can be designed to change its control mode, for example, Controlling the speed of the operation of the air extracting device 28, controlling the intensity of the light emitted by the light source 20, controlling the opening or closing of the fogging device 3, and controlling the manufacture The time interval during which the mist device 3 operates, the temperature of the cooling liquid 6 controlled by the cooling device 6, and the like. In other words, the controller 8 can have different control modes depending on the needs of the plants and animals to be cultivated.

Further, in the above-described animal and plant cultivation equipment 1, the elements required for plant and animal cultivation are sufficiently obtained, for example, the air element formed by the air suction device 28, the sunlight element formed by the light source 20, and the water and nutrient elements circulating in the liquid. Wait.

In the present embodiment, the ring wall 22 of the cultivation box 2 can be provided with a ring insulation plate 220, and the ring insulation plate 220 has a specific thickness t. Thereby, the problem that the content chamber 23 of the cultivation tank 2 and the outside are excessively large due to a temperature difference can be avoided as much as possible.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the filtering device 5 is located below the liquid storage tank 4, and the cooling device 6 is also located below the liquid storage tank 4. Of course, the filtering device 5 and the cooling device 6 may also be disposed beside the liquid storage tank 4.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., which are made within the spirit and principles of the present invention, should be included in the present invention.
