Remote control plant cultivator and plant cultivation service system using the same

The present invention relates to a remotely controlled plant grower and a plant cultivation service system using the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system for remotely controlling a plant cultivation environment from a remote place, The present invention relates to a remotely controlled plant cultivator and a plant cultivation service system using the same.

Generally, pots with various shapes and designs are used to independently plant plants such as flowers and trees in various indoor or outdoor places including homes, offices, and the like.

These plants are usually purchased with plants planted or purchased separately to plant the desired plants. Plants planted in pollen receive nutrition through photosynthesis, so plants need to grow light and moisture Supply is important.

On the other hand, in order to plant the desired seeds in the flowerpot, it is necessary to dig the soil so that the seeds are buried in the soil, and then germinate when they wait for a certain period of time while supplying water.

However, the conventional pollen is subject to restrictions such as that it should be installed in a place where it is exposed to sunlight for photosynthesis of plants and the like. Therefore, not only the plant is greatly affected by the place but also the plant growth It is not possible to achieve this. This applies equally to aquatic as well as plant-based needs. In addition, the conventional pollen has a problem of polluting the surroundings even if the pollen pedestal is installed by discharging the soil together with water by drainage or the like.

As a plant growing machine, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0598013 (Jun. 30, 2006) of "Plant Planting Machine" has been disclosed. The plant growing machine is composed of an upper open container and a transparent tube, A horizontal pipe having a discharge port at the bottom and a water supply means vertically connected to one side of the horizontal pipe and having a water inlet at an upper portion thereof and a heater provided at the bottom of the container, And a controller that is enabled to be enabled.

However, such a conventional plant growing apparatus can not control the plant cultivation environment remotely from a remote place. Therefore, it requires a direct manipulation of the user, thereby inconveniencing the use of the plant, and the user can not set or forget the plant cultivation environment , There was a problem that made it difficult to grow the plants normally.

Also, the conventional plant growing machine has a problem that it is inconvenient to inform the user when the service grower related to the plant cultivation wants to change or add the plant growth information.

In order to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, the present invention can remotely control the plant cultivation environment from a remote place, thereby providing convenience of use, helping plants to grow normally, To improve the quality of service for plant cultivation by allowing the service workers related to the plant to directly reflect the growth information for plant growth to the plant cultivation. Other objects of the present invention will become readily apparent from the following description of the embodiments.
