The present invention relates to a hydroponic cultivation apparatus using mineral water and carbon grains, and more specifically, using natural mineral water as culture water supplied to hydroponic cultivation, and purifying water using carbon grains to supply water. It relates to a hydroponic cultivation device using.

Hydroponic cultivation refers to the cultivation of plants in water cultivation pots containing cultures made from water (cultivated water) and water-soluble nutrients. These hydroponic cultivation plants do not use soil and grow pollutants that may remain in the soil. There is an advantage that the plant can be grown in a clean state through the culture medium without fear of being absorbed through the root of the, and there is an advantage that can easily grasp the process of plant growth while the plant is being grown.

Hydroponic cultivation has been used to date, including bulbs such as tulips, hyacinths, narcissus, fruit trees such as pineapples, taro sweet potatoes, onions, and bean sprouts; It is applied to the cultivation of various plants such as houseplants.

In order to cultivate a plant by hydroponics, a suitable culture medium and an appropriate amount of sunlight must be supplied. At this time, the culture medium must contain the components necessary for the growth of the plant, and the culture medium can contain bacteria. There is a need for an apparatus for purifying and supplying a liquid, and one example of such a hydroponic cultivation apparatus includes a hydroponic cultivation method and a hydroponic cultivation apparatus using alkaline purified water disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1999-84149.

The controller also controls operations such as a driving device (not shown) and an optical sensor (not shown) such that the lighting device 80, which will be described later, is angled or rotated according to the position of the sun so that the direction can be changed.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the mining device 80 is not a hydroponic cultivation facility that is capable of natural light such as a vinyl house, an opaque roof is installed, or an installation direction of a facility such as a vinyl house. When it is difficult to light by the light is carried out so that effective natural light is achieved without installing an artificial lighting device separately, for this purpose, the light collecting device 80 of the present invention is installed to be inclined so that sunlight can be collected and , The light collecting part 82 for collecting the sunlight irradiated to the light collecting plate 81, and connected to the light collecting part 82 and connected to the light guiding part 83 and the light guiding part 83 guiding the solar light, It is provided with a light scattering portion 84 that is installed horizontally along the length and the sunlight guided by the light guide portion 83 is scattered. At this time, the light guide portion 83 is used in the structure that is commonly used, since the structure is already well known, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

And the light collecting portion 82 is implemented in a structure that can be rotated to track the sunlight, or as shown in Figure 9 are respectively installed at both ends of the light scattering portion 84 to face each other at a 90 ° angle to the sunlight This may be implemented in a structure that is necessarily collected through any one of the light collecting plate (81).

In addition, if it is carried out to automatically track the sunlight, the location can be automatically tracked by the optical sensor, or the software is pre-programmed in consideration of the direction in which the facility is installed and the installation location and the irradiation direction of the sunlight for one year. It can be implemented to store the inside of the controller so that the installation angle of the light collecting plate 81 can be adjusted according to the command of this software.

On the other hand, the hydroponic cultivation apparatus of the present invention configured as described above is supplied with natural mineral water and circulated. The natural mineral water has a low content of iron (Fe), and is stored for a long time with mineral water having a high content of manganese (Mg). It is known to be easy, and there is no rejection when drinking. Furthermore, since carbonic acid (Co2) contained in natural mineral water has a self sterilizing effect, water contamination is also prevented.

And the mineral water used in the present invention is more preferably used domestic primary mineral water having an acidity (pH) of 4.2 ~ 5.2pH, 52% by weight of Ca, 31% by weight of Si, 11% by weight of Mg, It contains 3% by weight of K and 3% by weight of Na, so that even if the nutrient supply is low, the nutrients necessary for growing the crops can be supplied evenly, and further, the rapid growth of the grown crops is possible.
