PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a plant cultivation apparatus and a plant cultivation factory which can realize moderate air flow and humidification to a cultivated plant for each plant cultivation shelf by a relatively simple structure.SOLUTION: A plant cultivation apparatus 1A comprises an aerification filter humidifier 5 including an aerification filter 51, a supplying water part 52, a water receiving part 53, and a drain pipe 54. The aerification filter 51 is arranged on the rear surface of the plant cultivation apparatus 1A. The supplying water part 52 supplies water to the upper end side of the aerification filter 51. The water receiving part 53 is arranged at the lower end side of the aerification filter 51, and receives extra water fallen from the lower end of the aerification filter 51. In the plant cultivation apparatus 1A, two blast fans 6 are provided on the rear surface of each plant cultivation shelf side by side, and air current is generated which flows from the rear surface to the front surface of each plant cultivation shelf.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】植物栽培棚毎の栽培植物に対する適度な気流と加湿を比較的簡単な構成で実現できる植物栽培装置および植物栽培工場を提供する。【解決手段】植物栽培装置1Aは、気化フィルター51と給水部52と水受け部53とドレンパイプ54とからなる気化フィルター加湿器5を備える。上記気化フィルター51は上記植物栽培装置1Aの背面に配置される。上記給水部52は上記気化フィルター51の上端側に給水を行う。上記水受け部53は上記気化フィルター51の下端側に配置されており、上記気化フィルター51の下端から落ちる余分な水を受ける。そして、上記植物栽培装置1Aにおける各植物栽培棚の背面には横並びで2個ずつ送風ファン6が設けられており、各植物栽培棚を背面から前面側へと進む気流を生成する。【選択図】図1
