Device for UV and low-temperature treatments for enhancing functional material of plant

Abstract

The present invention comprises: a work table configured such that a plant can be seeded / cultivated on an upper plate, which is lifted and spaced from the floor, UV light can be emitted to the plant on the upper plate, and the UV light emitting position can be moved / adjusted in the bottom surface of the upper plate; a cultivation portion comprising cultivation bed having a containing hole, which is supplied with soil and a culture solution for cultivating the plant, and a channel tube arranged inside the soil and culture solution in the containing hole such that water is supplied and returned;a supply portion for cooling the water to a temperature lower than the room temperature such that the same exchanges heat while passing through the soil and culture solution of the cultivation bed, thereby cooling the soil environment, and the heat-exchanged water is returned by a circulation pump; a pillar table installed perpendicularly to a side surface of the work table such that the height thereof can be adjusted and installed to extend across the upper portion of the cultivation bed; and a power generating portion comprising a light emission portion for emitting a UV light source to theupper portion of the cultivation bed and a bracket for adjusting the position of the light emission portion on the side surface of the work table according to the growth condition of the plant.

Description

technical field [0001] Exemplary embodiments of the inventive concept relate to devices for UV and low-temperature treatment for increasing the content of functional substances in plants, for example, through energy-controllable UV treatment devices and low-temperature treatment devices, artificially applying slight pressure to plants to increase The content of functional substances in it will not degrade the growth of plants. Background technique [0002] In recent years, as interest in vegetable or medicinal crops containing a large functional substance content has increased, studies for obtaining crops with increased functional substance contents have also increased. [0003] In general, plants exposed to various environmental stresses are known to have increased levels of phytochemicals as a defense mechanism against stress. Therefore, artificial treatment of crops with slight pressure can increase the content of functional substances therein without deteriorating the g...
