The present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

1 is a front view of a seedling plant using an artificial light source according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the seedlings 100 using the artificial light source of the present invention includes a seedling growing tray 110, a light source 130, and a controller 150.

The seedling tray (110) has a plurality of tray cells (112) partially opened at the bottom on the shelf of the apparatus, and grows young in each tray cell (112). At this time, the seedling growing tray 110 is formed with a rectangular or circularly formed tray cell 112, a through hole opened at regular intervals on the bottom formed in a plane, a plurality of stacked layers can be continuously stacked, And the rim may be used as a handle.

The light source unit 130 includes a first light source 130a positioned at a predetermined distance from the top of the seedling growth tray 110 and emitting light to the top of the seedling growth tray 110, And a second light source 130b that irradiates light to the young simulated roots through the lower part of the seedling growing tray 110. The light source unit 130 may include at least one of a fluorescent lamp, an LED, and a Plants Grow (PG) lamp. The light source unit 130 may be disposed in a row at the top and bottom of the seedling growing tray 110.

At this time, the LED may include a blue LED and a red LED. The blue LED has a wavelength (nm) of 450 mn, a luminous intensity (lux) of 300, a photon flux density (umol / m 2 / s) of 16.5, a red LED has a wavelength of 660 nm, The density (umol / m < 2 > / s) is 8.2.

The fluorescent lamp has a wavelength (nm) of 0, a luminous intensity (lux) of 300, and a photon flux density (umol / m 2 / s) of 8.6. Therefore, the PG lamp has a wavelength of 280 nm, ) Is 300, and the photon flux density (umol / m2 / s) is 8.4. By using light of these three light sources, artificial light can be provided to the seedling.

The control unit 150 controls power on / off of the light source unit 130 or controls the amount of light emitted and emitted from the light source unit 130. The control unit 150 may control the irradiation amount of the light so that the illuminance of the first light source 130a located above the seedling growth tray 110 is higher than that of the second light source 130b. The reason why the illuminance of the first light source 130a differs from that of the second light source 130b is that the first light source and the second light source have different purposes. That is, the first light source 130a is a light source used for growing leaf and stem portions of seedlings on the seedling growing tray 110, Is a light source that is directly transmitted to the young moth roots growing in the seedling growing tray 110 through a part thereof. Therefore, the stress is applied through the light irradiated to the young simulated roots to control the growth speed of the root portion to be slower than that of the leaves and stem portions to the same young young.

Nevertheless, in the case where the young simulant roots grow continuously beyond a certain level, the illuminance of light generated from the second light source 130b may be changed.

First, a camera (not shown) may be placed at one end of the shelf to measure the growth condition of young moths under the seedling growing tray 110. At this time, the camera monitors the lower part of the seedling growing tray 110 in real time and transmits the result to the controller 150. That is, the camera monitors in real time whether or not the young moth roots which are being raised in the tray cell 112 arranged in a row in the seedling growth tray 110 protrude to the outside.

Accordingly, the control unit 150 receives the monitoring result of the lower portion of the seedling growing tray 110 from the camera positioned at one end of the shelf, analyzes the received monitoring result, Can be determined whether or not the lower portion of the tray cell 112 protrudes outside the opened tray cell 112. At this time, if the control unit 150 determines that the young simulated roots that are being raised in the seedling growing tray 110 are protruding from the open lower portion of the tray cell 112, the control unit 150 transmits a control signal to the second light source 130b, It is possible to control so that light from the two light sources 130b is irradiated to the young simulated root by an irradiation amount higher than the current irradiation dose.

In addition, as described above, it is possible not only to suppress the growth of young moth root by using light, but also to suppress the growth of young moth root by using wind.

Hereinafter, a seedlot plant using an artificial light source according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

2 is a front view of a seedling plant using an artificial light source according to another embodiment of the present invention.

2, the artificial light source using the artificial light source of the present invention includes a seedling tray 110, a light source 130, a controller 150, a blower 170, and a seedlings bench 190.

The artificial light source using the artificial light source according to another embodiment of the present invention has a similar structure to the seedling tray 110, the light source 130, and the controller 150 described above with reference to FIG. 1, The controller 150, the blower 170, and the seedlings bench 190, which are components to be added and some additional features, will be described in more detail.

The blower 170 is located outside the shelf and feeds the young moth roots through the open lower portion of the seedling tray 110.

The control unit 150 controls power ON / OFF of the light source unit 130 or controls the amount of light emitted from the light source unit 130. The control unit 150 may control the irradiation amount of the light so that the illuminance of the first light source 130a located above the seedling growth tray 110 is higher than that of the second light source 130b. In addition, the controller 150 controls the power on / off of the additional blower 170, and also controls the wind speed of the wind supplied when the wind is supplied by young roots through the open lower portion of the seedling growing tray 110 Can be controlled.

In particular, the control unit 150 receives a result of monitoring the lower portion of the seedling growing tray 110 from a camera positioned at one end of the shelf, analyzes the received monitoring result, Can be determined whether or not the tray 112 protrudes from the opened part of the tray cell 112. At this time, when the control unit 150 determines that the roots of the young moths being raised in the seedling growing tray 110 protrude to the outside, the control unit 150 transmits a control signal to the blower 170 to supply the control signal to the blower 170, It is possible to generate wind having a higher wind speed than the supplied wind speed to control the wind generated from the young mother root to be supplied.

The seedbed bench 190 is located between the upper part of the shelf and the lower part of the seedling tray 110, and is formed of a wire mesh and has a lattice pattern. The seedlings bench 190 transmits light irradiated from the second light source 130b located in contact with the lower portion of the seedling growth tray 110 and is irradiated to each tray cell 112 of the seedling growth tray 110 It transmits the transmitted light to the young simulated roots located.

In addition, the seedet bench 190 transmits the wind generated from the blower 170 provided on the outside of the shelf so as to be transmitted through the young simulated roots located inside the respective tray cells 112 of the seedling growing tray 110 It conveys the wind.

In addition, an illuminometer (not shown) is additionally disposed under the seedlings bench 190. The illuminometer measures the roughness of the light irradiated to the lower portion of the seedling tray 110, Lt; / RTI >

The control unit 150 compares the measured illuminance value with a preset reference value, compares the received illuminance measurement value with a preset reference value, and when the received illuminance measurement value is lower than the reference value, It is possible to improve the illuminance in the lower part of the seedling growing tray 110, that is, the roots of the young shoots.

As a result, as the light irradiated from the second light source 130b and the wind generated from the blower 170 are directly supplied to the young simulated roots in the tray cell 112 of the seedling growing tray 110, Growth of young shoots can be relatively slow compared to growth of leaves and stem. Therefore, while the normal growth of the leaves and stems of the young moths as desired by the grower is achieved, at the same time, the growth of the roots can not be smoothly performed and the other young moths and roots located around them can be prevented from tangling. Accordingly, when the young mother who has finished seedling cultivation is removed from the seedling growing tray 110, the young mother root can be smoothly separated without damage to the root portion.

As described above, according to the seedling growing apparatus using the artificial light source according to the present invention, after the artificial light source and the blower are positioned at the open lower part of the seedling growing tray, light and wind are directly supplied to the young shoot root, , It is possible to transplant the seedlings without damaging the corresponding young shoots when the seedlings are separated from the seedlings tray by suppressing the growth of the roots.

In addition, according to the seedling apparatus using the artificial light source according to the present invention, since the young mother's root damage is relatively small in transplanting young mother seedlings into the field in the seedling tray, the young mother's root smoothly moves into the fields after the transplantation , It is possible to grow more stably.

According to the present invention, there is provided a seedling growing apparatus using an artificial light source, in which a first light source is placed on an upper part of a seedling tray to irradiate light for photosynthesis to an upper part of a young mother in the seedling growing tray, By locating the light source and examining the light for inhibiting the growth of young moths, the growth of the root portions can be inhibited while promoting normal growth of the leaves and stems of the same young mother.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the relevant art that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. The appended claims are to be considered as falling within the scope of the following claims.
