Description

자동화 수직형 식물재배장치{Automatic vertical plant cultivation device}Automatic vertical plant cultivation device

본 발명은 자동화 수직형 식물재배장치에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 수직형 식물재배장치를 자동화하여 편의성을 향상시키는 자동화 수직형 식물재배장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an automated vertical plant cultivation apparatus, and more particularly, to an automated vertical plant cultivation apparatus for improving convenience by automating the vertical plant cultivation apparatus.

일반적인 식물재배법은 지표면에 식물을 재배하거나 일정한 틀에 충분한 물을 담아 식물을 재배하는 수경재배를 들 수 있다.Common plant cultivation methods include hydroponic cultivation, in which plants are grown on the surface or planted with sufficient water in a certain framework.

이 중, 지표면에 식물을 재배하는 방법은 토양에 심은 종자에 비료와 물을 주고, 태양광에 의해 식물 내에서 일어나는 광합성을 이용하는 방식으로 이루어진다. Among them, the method of cultivating plants on the surface of the ground is performed by feeding fertilizer and water to seeds planted in the soil and using photosynthesis generated in the plants by sunlight.

그런데 이러한 재배 방법은 기후의 변화가 생산량에 영향을 미칠 뿐 아니라, 비료나 농약의 사용으로 인한 비용 문제와 환경 문제가 발생하게 된다. 또한, 식물을 재배하는 데 오랜 시간이 걸리기 때문에 소비자의 수요에 비해 생산량이 따라가지 못하고 있다.However, this method of cultivation not only affects the production of climate change, but also creates cost and environmental problems due to the use of fertilizers and pesticides. In addition, because it takes a long time to grow plants, the output cannot keep up with the demand of consumers.

또한, 수경재배는 영양분이 충분한 물을 일정한 틀의 내부에 담은 후에 그 물을 이용하여 배추, 브로컬리, 순무 등과 같은 작물을 재배할 수 있도록 한 것을 말한다.In addition, hydroponic cultivation means that the nutrient-rich water in the inside of a predetermined frame to use the water to grow crops such as cabbage, broccoli, turnips.

이러한 수경재배는 하우스 내지 수경 식물을 전문적으로 재배하는 농장의 바닥에 고정되게 격자 형태로 프레임을 설치하고, 그 프레임 상면에 다수의 수경 재배 케이스를 각각 고정 결합하여 구성하는 것이 일반적이다. 프레임에 고정 결합된 다수의 수경 재배 케이스를 호스로 연결하여 물을 공급한다.Such hydroponic cultivation is generally configured by installing a frame in a grid form to be fixed to the floor of a farm that specializes in cultivating house or hydroponic plants, and fixedly coupling a plurality of hydroponic cultivation cases to the upper surface of the frame. A plurality of hydroponic cultivation cases fixedly connected to the frame are connected by hoses to supply water.

그러나, 종래의 수경재배는 수평 배치를 목적으로 구성된 것이어서 벽면과 같이 수직 구조물에 설치하기에는 어려움이 있어, 공간 활용도를 높이는데 한계가 있다.However, the conventional hydroponic cultivation is configured for the purpose of horizontal placement, so it is difficult to install in a vertical structure such as a wall, there is a limit to increase the space utilization.

최근에는 식물의 성장이 광합성에 의해 이루어지는 것에 주목해, 인공 광원인 LED(Light Emitting Diode)를 사용하여 광합성에 필요한 파장을 공급해 줌으로써 식물의 성장을 촉진시킬 뿐 아니라 기후에 영향을 받지 않고, 무농약의 식물 재배가 가능한 친환경적인 식물재배 방식이 각광받고 있다.In recent years, it is noted that the growth of plants is caused by photosynthesis. By supplying wavelengths necessary for photosynthesis using LED (Light Emitting Diode), which is an artificial light source, it not only promotes the growth of plants but also is not affected by the climate. Eco-friendly plant cultivation methods that can grow plants are in the spotlight.

이에 따라 일정한 시설 내에서 식물의 생육을 위한 재배환경, 즉, 광, 온도, 습도, 이산화탄소 등을 인공적으로 제어하여 식물을 계절에 무관하게 연속 생산하는 시스템을 마련하게 된다.Accordingly, by artificially controlling the cultivation environment for plant growth, that is, light, temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, etc. within a certain facility to provide a system for continuous production of the plant regardless of season.

이러한 시스템은 도시 근교 또는 도심 속에서 농산물을 생산할 수 있으므로 도시 소비자에게 도달하는 거리가 짧아 유통 기간과 비용을 절약할 수 있는 장점을 가지며, 연중 생산이 가능하고, 날씨의 영향을 상대적으로 적게 받아 농산물의 생산량 증대 및 안정적인 공급 효과를 갖는다.Such a system can produce agricultural products in or near the city, so the distance to the urban consumers is shorter, which can save the distribution period and the cost, and can produce all year round, and produce less agricultural products under the influence of the weather. Has increased production and stable supply effect.

그러나 전술한 시스템은 인공 광원 및 관개(灌漑) 공급수단이 식물이 재배 부위에 모두 설치되어 있어 에너지 소비가 과다할 뿐 아니라 공간활용도 또한 저조하게 되는 문제점을 내포하고 있었다.However, the above-mentioned system has a problem that artificial light source and irrigation supply means are installed at the plant cultivation site so that energy consumption is excessive and space utilization is also low.

따라서, 자동화된 시스템 위치로 식물을 이동시켜 에너지 소비를 줄여줌과 동시에 공간활용도를 향상시킬 수 있도록 개선된 형태의 자동화 수직형 식물재배장치의 개발이 요구되고 있는 실정이다.Therefore, there is a demand for the development of an automated vertical plant cultivation apparatus of an improved type to reduce energy consumption by moving plants to an automated system position and to improve space utilization.

To supply.

그리고, 상기 복수의 재배 튜브(100)는 각각 고유의 넘버링 또는 ID를 부여하여 상기 제어부(600)가 각각 재배 튜브(100)로의 양액공급시간 인공광원 공급시간 등의 자료를 수집하게 된다.In addition, the plurality of culture tubes 100 are assigned a unique numbering or ID, respectively, so that the control unit 600 collects data such as nutrient solution supply time artificial light source supply time to the culture tube 100, respectively.

즉, 상기 제어부(600)는 고유의 넘버링 또는 ID를 부여된 복수의 재배 튜브(100)가 상기 관개 공급수단(300)과 상기 LED(400)로 이동하는 시간주기를 제어하게 된다.That is, the controller 600 controls the time period during which the plurality of cultivation tubes 100, which are given unique numbering or IDs, move to the irrigation supply means 300 and the LEDs 400.

구체적으로, 작업자는 각 재배 튜브(100)당 고유의 넘버링이나 ID를 부여하고 원하는 곳으로 별도의 스위치나 컨트롤패널 IOT기기 등을 통하여 작물을 이동시키거나 제어부(600)가 자동으로 이동시킬 수 있다. Specifically, the operator may give a unique numbering or ID for each cultivation tube 100 and move the crop to a desired place through a separate switch or control panel IOT device or the control unit 600 can be automatically moved. .

예를 들면 10000개의 재배 튜브(100)에 어떤 구간의 작물들은 일정시간 이후 어느 지점까지 이동을 시키거나 어떤 필요에 따라 재배 튜브(100)들을 이동하는 것을 말한다. For example, crops in a section of 10000 cultivation tubes 100 are moved to a certain point after a certain time or move cultivation tubes 100 as necessary.

또한, 재배 튜브(100)의 각 작물은 식물에 최적화된 빛의 양을 유지하며 구동부(200)를 따라 이동하게 된다.In addition, each crop of the cultivation tube 100 is moved along the drive unit 200 while maintaining the amount of light optimized for the plant.

마지막으로, 재배 튜브(100)의 순환 경로 상에는 복수의 수직 혹은 수평배열의 카메라(700)가 구비되어 있어 작물의 상태를 모니터링 하게 된다.Finally, a plurality of vertical or horizontal array of cameras 700 are provided on the circulation path of the cultivation tube 100 to monitor the state of crops.

본 발명에 따르면, LED(400)와 같은 인공 광원과 관개 공급수단(300) 위치로 식물을 이동하여 에너지 소비를 줄여줌과 동시에 인공 광원과 관개 공급수단이 설치 수량을 대폭 줄여주어 설치비용이 감소된다.According to the present invention, the artificial light source and irrigation supply means 300 to reduce the energy consumption by moving the plant to the position of the artificial light source and irrigation supply means 300, and the artificial light source and irrigation supply means significantly reduce the installation quantity, thereby reducing the installation cost do.

또한, 재배 튜브의 이동 경로를 단일 폐곡선으로 구성하여 재배 튜브는 이동 경로를 계속적으로 순환하여 농경에 필요한 면적을 줄임에 따라 공간활용도를 향상시키고 면적당 수확량을 높이며 노동력과 전력을 줄여 소득을 증대시킬 수 있다.In addition, the growth path of the cultivation tube is composed of a single closed curve, so that the cultivation tube continuously circulates the movement path to reduce the area required for farming, thereby improving space utilization, increasing yields per area, and reducing labor and power, thereby increasing income. have.

즉, 농장 연면적을 감소시킴에 따라 기존의 스마트팜 대비 수 배 이상의 작물 재배면적을 활용하며, 난방 및 냉방비용을 감소시키고, 노동력과 에너지 비용을 감소시켜 농가 소득을 증가시킬 수 있다.In other words, by reducing farm total area, farmers can increase farm incomes by utilizing crop cultivation area more than several times of existing smart farms, reducing heating and cooling costs, and reducing labor and energy costs.

이상, 본 발명의 바람직한 실시 예에 대하여 상세히 설명하였으나, 본 발명의 기술적 범위는 전술한 실시 예에 한정되지 않고 특허청구범위에 의하여 해석되어야 할 것이다. 이때, 이 기술분야에서 통상의 지식을 습득한 자라면, 본 발명의 범위에서 벗어나지 않으면서도 많은 수정과 변형이 가능함을 고려해야 할 것이다.As mentioned above, although preferred embodiment of this invention was described in detail, the technical scope of this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, It should be interpreted by a claim. At this time, those of ordinary skill in the art should consider that many modifications and variations are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention.
