The stacking apparatus 100 can stack the crops in multiple layers. More specifically, the loading apparatus 100 has a plurality of shelves 102 fixed to the outer frame 101 in a multi-layered structure, so that a large amount of crops can be loaded even in a narrow space.

In addition, the moving device 200 can circulate the loading device 100 in the cultivation room 10. By moving the loading device 100 by the moving device 200, the air in the cultivation room 10 circulates and the temperature and the humidity become uniform, and the crop can be supplied with illumination and moisture evenly.

And since the worker can be fixed in one place to harvest crops, the mobile device 200 can have a labor saving effect.

And the lighting device 300 can supply illumination to the crop. More specifically, it may include an LED bar 310 disposed in line with the sidewalls and ceiling of the cultivation room 10 and an LED bulb 320 disposed in a wall formed perpendicular to the sidewalls of the cultivation room 10 .

The LED bar 310 and the LED bulb 320 can emit red, green, and blue RGB color lights of 160,000 colors and change the color of the illumination at predetermined time intervals. In addition, since the illumination device 300 can select light of a wavelength required for the crop and supply it to the crop, it can be cultivated in accordance with the characteristics of the crop.

In addition, the air circulation apparatus 400 can circulate the air supplied to the crop. More specifically, the air circulation apparatus 400 may include an air duct 410 installed in a ceiling in the cultivation room 10 and an outside room 420 circulating air outdoors.

And the sprinkler device 500 can supply moisture to the crop. The cropping apparatus 500 can be installed in a part of the space through which the loading apparatus 100 passes to the moving apparatus 200 in the cultivation room 10 because the crop circulates through the cultivation room 10. [

Further, the elevating apparatus 600 can move the horizontal plate on the floor up and down. The worker can ride the elevator 600 to harvest crops, so that the present invention can reduce the time and labor required for crop harvesting.

Also, the first shaft 211 may be installed so that the loading apparatus 100 is supported by two or more first shafts 211 and can be moved.

And the first support module 212 can be fitted to both ends of the first shaft 211. In addition, since the loading device 100 is supported by the first supporting module 212, a gap can be formed between the loading device 100 and the first shaft 211. Thus, the first bearing module 212 may have a technical effect that reduces the friction between the loading device 100 and the first shaft 211.

The second moving unit 220 may have the same structure as the first moving unit 210

The first transfer unit 230 can transfer the loading device 100 from one side of the first moving unit 210 to one side of the second moving unit 220.

The second transfer unit 240 can transfer the loading device 100 to the other side of the first moving unit 210 from the other side of the second moving unit 220.

The first mounting module 231 may be driven by a motor or a cylinder and may reciprocate one side of the first moving part 210 and the second moving part 220.

In addition, the second release bust 232a may prevent the first mounting module 231 from separating from the rail of the first reciprocating module 232.

The second departure-avoidance tuck 232a may have an elastic member on one side thereof. Therefore, it is possible to mitigate the impact between the second departure prevention tuck 232a and the first loading module 231.

The second transfer unit 240 transfers the second mounting module 241 and the second mounting module 241 mounting the loading device 100 to the other side of the first moving unit 210 and the second moving unit 220, And a second reciprocating module 242 reciprocating to the other side of the second reciprocating module 242.

Since the second transmission unit 240 may have the same structure as the first transmission unit 230, the repetitive description will be omitted.

In one embodiment, a wheel may be attached to the lower portion of the loading device 100. The first moving part 210 and the second moving part 220 may be formed as rails on which the wheels of the loading device 100 can move.

The first transmission unit 230 and the second transmission unit 240 may transmit the loading apparatus 100 to the first moving unit 210 or the second moving unit 220 using a cylinder or a motor.

More specifically, the first mounting module 231 mounts the loading device 100 and moves from one side of the first moving part 210 to one side of the second moving part 220 by the first reciprocating module 232 .

In this case, the first mounting module 231 can be driven using a motor or a cylinder, and can move from one side of the first moving part 210 to one side of the second moving part 220.

The first loading module 231 located at one side of the second moving unit 220 can transmit the loading apparatus 100 to the second moving unit 220 using a motor or a cylinder.

In this case, when the stacking apparatus 100 is arranged in a line in the second moving unit 220, the stacking apparatus 100 disposed in the second moving unit 220 can receive force from the first loading module 231 And the stacking device 100 disposed on the other side of the second moving part 220 can move to the second transfer part 240. [

The second transfer unit 240 may move to the other side of the first transfer unit 210 from the other side of the second transfer unit 220.

The second transfer unit 240 can transfer the stacking apparatus 100 to the other side of the first transfer unit 210 in the same manner as the first transfer unit 230, The loading device 100 moves on the rail so that the loading device 100 disposed on one side of the first moving part 210 can move to the first transfer part 230. [

Therefore, the first moving part 210 and the second moving part 220 are not provided with a separate power device, and the motor or cylinder of the first transfer part 230 and the second transfer part 240 is connected to the loading device 100) can be circulated.
