DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0036] A plant cultivation device comprises a housing 1 configured as a cabinet having a door 2 (in the figure, the door is located separately) and a touch-screen control panel 3. In this case, the housing has an air inlet (not shown in the figure) and a purified-air outlet 4 on the outside. The upper part of the housing has an installation site 5 for a filter, and the central part of the housing has an installation site 6 for a plant cultivation module, under which there is a space 7 for a clean water container.

[0037] The invention operates as follows.

[0038] The door of the plant cultivation device is opened, filters are installed, clean water is poured, a seed is inserted into the plant cultivation module, and the module itself is installed in a plant cultivation chamber, a substrate moisture monitoring sensor is connected through a connector, with the sensor being in a substrate. By using the touch-screen panel, data on a type of planted plants are entered into a controller. The controller selects a required program for plant care at all stages of their growth.

[0039] The plant cultivation module receives a command from the controller and starts cultivation programs.

[0040] A water level sensor reports a moisture level of the substrate to the controller, and the controller, if required, sends a signal to a pump to start irrigation. At the same time, according to a given algorithm, lighting (a required spectrum and intensity) is turned on, depending on a plant growth stage. The heat generated by a lighting module is removed through a hole in the plate cultivation chamber. Depending on temperature and humidity, the controller adjusts a lighting intensity, a fan speed, an irrigation level.

[0041] When a certain height is reached, a plant growth sensor sends a signal to the controller, whereupon the controller displays, on a screen, a message that, if desired, it is possible to start the plant training (pruning, pinching, etc.).

[0042] The lighting module has diodes of various spectra. According to the algorithm, the diodes shine with a certain intensity spectrum and schedule at a certain plant growth stage.

[0043] The controller sends, based on the algorithm, a signal to turn on the LEDs of the light spectrum required at this plant growth stage, thereby forming a required luminous flux and light composition to accelerate a set of vegetative mass by the plant, as well as to increase the height and thickness of its stem. When the cultivation cycle ends, the controller turns off the light, irrigation, while maintaining ventilation to remove moisture/odors, and then proceeds to storage, if required.

[0044] Thus, the technical result is achieved, which consists in ensuring a balanced growth and development of plants, thereby increasing the efficiency of their cultivation.
