연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A hydroponic plant cultivation apparatus including a reservoir having a base defining a first portion of the reservoir and a cover defining a second portion of the reservoir. An upper opening is defined in the cover. A planting column with a hollow interior is positioned above the upper opening. At least one planting port is defined in the planting column. A conduit can pass through the hollow interior of the planting column, the conduit fluidly communicated with the reservoir. A fluid distributor is positioned atop the planting column, the fluid distributor in fluid communication with the conduit. Fluid is selectively circulated from the reservoir through the conduit in the planting column to the fluid distributor, where the fluid is redirected down the hollow interior of the planting column and back to the reservoir. A hydroponic plant cultivation apparatus including a reservoir positioned on a plurality of rollers.

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the base defines a lower portion of the reservoir, the cover defines an upper portion of the reservoir, and the fluid coupler does not extend into the lower portion of the reservoir. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein: the cover extends upward arcuately from the base of the reservoir with a downward concavity;the cover includes an inflection line, the cover changing concavity across the inflection line as the cover converges to the upper opening. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the cover has a domed shape. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the cover has an S shaped cross section. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the planting column and the upper opening in the cover include a first pair of corresponding nesting elements and a second pair of corresponding nesting elements. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of rollers, the base of the reservoir positioned on the plurality of rollers. 8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein: the planting column comprises at least a first module and a second module, each module including a sidewall, a hollow interior, at least one planting port defined in the sidewall for receiving a plant at least partially into the hollow interior, an open top end, a bottom wall, a plurality of drain holes defined in the bottom wall, and a module conduit extending from the bottom wall to the open top end;the bottom wall of the first module is configured to releasably engage the open top end of the second module; andthe module conduit of the first module is configured to releasably engage the module conduit of the second module when the bottom wall of the first module is releasably engaged with the open top end of the second module. 9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the bottom wall of the first module and the open top end of the second module include corresponding angular stop elements, the angular stop elements preventing relative rotation between the first and second modules when the bottom wall of the first module is releasably engaged with the open top end of the second module. 10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the angular stop elements are aligned to the at least one planting port of each module such that the at least one planting port of the first module is vertically aligned with the at least one planting port of the second module when the bottom wall of the first module is releasably engaged with the open top end of the second module. 11.
