  • Patent number: 8151517
    Abstract: It is intended to provide a plant growth system wherein light sources are located close to plants so as to efficiently ensure a sufficient amount of light for the plants to grow and simultaneously ensure air flow, thereby providing a favorable growth environment for the plants. In a plant growth chamber, there are provided multiple shelf parts for irradiating the plants with light for the growth, a cover surrounding the light sources wherein multiple ventilation bores are formed on a plant-facing face of a transparent light-permeable wall, an air inlet that opens in the space within the cover for sucking the air in the space, and a circulation channel that cools down the air sucked through the air inlet and blows out the sucked air into the plant growth chamber.

  • Patent number: 8145330
    Abstract: A plant growing environment control terminal (P) comprises an image data receiving section (1a) for receiving image data on the image of a plant from a plant growing facility (Q), an image display section (1b) for displaying the plant image according to the received image data, a growing environment data receiving section (1c) for receiving growing environment data, and a growing environment data transmitting section (1f) for transmitting the received growing environment data to the plant growing facility (Q). The end user can grow the plant in his (her) own way while checking the growth progress on the image even from a remote place. Therefore, a plant growing environment control terminal (P) effectively producing generally called healing effect is provided.

    Abstract: It is intended to provide a plant growth system wherein light sources are located close to plants so as to efficiently ensure a sufficient amount of light for the plants to grow and simultaneously ensure air flow, thereby providing a favorable growth environment for the plants. In a plant growth chamber (1), there are provided multiple shelf parts (32) for irradiating the plants with light for the growth, a cover (332) surrounding the light sources (331) wherein multiple ventilation bores (332x) are formed on a plant-facing face (3321) of a transparent light-permeable wall, an air inlet (31a) that opens in the space within the cover (332) for sucking the air in the space, and a circulation channel (L1) that cools down the air sucked through the air inlet (31a) and blows out the sucked air into the plant growth chamber (1).
