Abstract

PURPOSE: Disclosed is a hydroponic culturing device for home use to produce various clean vegetables throughout the year by being installed in the apartment veranda, dining room as surplus space in home, to make natural environment by securing green space in home, to help for children to observe plant or study nature. CONSTITUTION: The hydroponic culturing device for home use is characterized by forming hydroponic culturing system with proper size and shape in the space using aluminium frame prop(1) of polygon; forming bed(3) made of aluminium having projection to support planting board(4) with multi-step; providing nutrient solution in the top end from nutrient solution tank; providing surplus nutrient solution after maintaining nutrient solution level of each step bed(3) from top end of drain hose(12) nipple inside of bed(3) in the bottom end; providing sufficient oxygen to the root using bubble generated by diameter difference of drain hose(12) entrance nipple and drain hose(12).

Description

Home Hydro-Cultivater

The demand for edible vegetable cultivation devices has been around for a long time, such as increased demand and interest in safe agricultural products, leisure use of urban living housewives, and green space production at home. In general, small devices such as bean sprouts growers have been supplied as disposable devices that do not use nutrient solution because they are manufactured in small, simple containers made of plastic, but have not been able to obtain a good response and thus cannot be continuously supplied.

Home hydroponic systems are made of aluminium, which is less expensive than plastic products, has no risk of rust or cracking, the framework of the system is stable, and can be assembled on-site to suit the appropriate space such as a veranda. It is composed of multiple stages to grow a large number of crops in a narrow space, and it is possible to grow several crops simultaneously in each bed of each stage. Since the upper part of the bed is open, it is easy to remove or replace the regular plate, so it is easy to clean the bed after long-term cultivation and to change the plant very easily. By using the difference between the inlet and outlet holes of the drain hop to return the nutrient solution to the lower stage, bubbles are generated even at a small height, so that a large amount of oxygen can be supplied to the crop, thereby creating an optimal root zone environment.

In addition, by raising the height of the bed can store a large amount of the culture medium, the roots of the plant can be wide and deep, so that the growth of plants and long-term cultivation is possible. The official version uses high-strength compressed styrofoam, which does not get mossed even when exposed to sunlight and does not deteriorate even after prolonged use.

Home hydroponic cultivation of the invention is largely composed of a bed (3) that can be cultivated formally the skeletal support (1) and the plant (16) to install the cultivation bed (3). The skeletal column 1 is made of aluminum Assembled with a polygonal shape of the mold, and the assembly connector (2) also made a variety of elbows, tees, 3 spheres, 4 spheres, 5 spheres and the like can be used according to the position. The cultivation bed 3 was manufactured by molding in the form of an aluminum chassis, and a support jaw 6 capable of supporting the styrofoam formal plate 4 was molded to the thickness of the formal plate at the top of the bed.

Both ends 5 of the bed 3 are bonded and bonded with a suitable material so that the nutrient solution can be filled to the bed cut to a suitable length so that the nutrient solution is not leaked, and the nutrient solution can be refluxed at the bottom of one end of the bed. Attach the drain hose (12) connection nipple.

The nutrient solution is supplied to the main supply pipe 11 to the upper bed by using a small electric submersible pump installed in the nutrient solution tank 10, and when the nutrient solution is filled to the upper end of the drain hop nipple 13, it is automatically transferred to the lower bed. The nutrient solution is refluxed through the drain hose 12. When the nutrient solution is refluxed to the uppermost level of the nipple 13, the nutrient solution is returned to the nutrient solution tank 10 and circulated continuously by the pump. Due to the difference between the diameter of the upper drain hose 12 nipple and the diameter of the lower drain hose outlet, the nutrient solution reaching the lower stage is refluxed with bubbles to sufficiently supply oxygen in the near zone.

According to the conditions of the installation place of the home hydroponic cultivator such as the veranda of the apartment and the corner of the restaurant, the plant can be grown in various ways such as the arrangement of the number of single beds and the length of the bed.

Apartment verandas are generally not well utilized. Installing a hydroponic cultivation system in these free spaces in the home enables self-sufficiency of vegetables, greatly helps children's plant observation and natural learning, and creates a natural atmosphere by securing green spaces in the home. Will also help. The system is light and durable, easy to move, can be installed at a low price, and is made of a material that will not rust even after long-term use.

As the plant grows, the level of nutrient solution can be adjusted at will, and nutrient solution can be easily changed. If it is made for a restaurant, the number and size of the beds can be increased freely, and the color of the system can be variously used to create a beautiful indoor atmosphere, and can be used as an elementary school plant expedition teaching aid.

The level of nutrient solution can be adjusted at will, and the root rot caused by lack of oxygen does not occur because bubbles are generated naturally by using the difference between the diameter of the drain hose and the bed position. Since the support plate is installed, it can also be used for cultivation of the bottom irrigation of differentiation species such as herbs, and the bed width and height are secured enough to create a good environment for root development.

Claims (1)

The present invention relates to a hydroponic cultivator for planting vegetables in hydroponic plants by installing it in a free space such as a normal home, an apartment veranda, a restaurant, and the like. It consists of a multi-stage, rust-free aluminum bed (3) formed with a jaw (6) capable of supporting the plate (4), supplying the nutrient solution from the nutrient solution tank to the upper end, and drain into the bed (3) The nutrient solution level 17 of each end bed 3 is maintained at the upper end of the hose 12, the nipple 13, and the remaining nutrient solution is supplied to the lower end, and the drain hose 12 inlet nipple 13 and the drain hose 12 ) Home hydroponic cultivator characterized in that the bubble generated by the difference in diameter to supply sufficient oxygen to the root zone.
