Description

The present invention relates to a planter used for hydroponic cultivation, and is characterized in that it can be manufactured at low cost and can be easily used.

In recent years, hydroponic cultivation is becoming more popular because it is easier to manage and requires less nutrient solution compared to hydroponics that uses a large amount of nutrient solution.
For example, Patent Literature 1 relates to hydroponic culture. Patent Documents 2 and 3 include, for example, groove-shaped unit planters formed for hydroponics that can be extended in the length direction.

JP 2001-69856 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-178945 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-178946

Regarding the cultivation technique of the hydroponics cultivation, for example, there is Patent Document 1 mentioned above, but there is no planter suitable for the hydroponics cultivation.
Moreover, although the planter made for hydroponics is disclosed by the said patent documents 2 and 3, this planter is what is used so that a nutrient solution may be circulated at all times, and for hydroponics soil cultivation Is not suitable.

From the above, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to develop a planter suitable for hydroponic cultivation, and it is possible to perform hydroponic cultivation regardless of the size of cultivation, and easy management Is to develop a simple planter.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention uses a synthetic resin as a raw material, a bottom surface portion, a side surface portion that is continuous with both sides of the bottom surface portion, and a rib disposed on the outer surface, and on the outer side of the upper end of the side surface portion. Forming a groove-shaped main member having an appropriate depth and length with both ends open, and forming a tight coupling means at both ends of the main member. The same shape of the main member having connecting means corresponding to each of the two means is constructed to be extended in the length direction, and the bottom surface portion is formed on a slope that is appropriately gently inclined from the front, rear, left and right of the main member. The present invention provides a planter for hydroponics cultivation in which a drainage hole is provided at the bottom of the slope.

The invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that the length to which the main member according to the present invention is added can be arbitrarily selected. For example, in the minimum scale, one or several main members are used. To enable hydroponic cultivation for gardening and rooftop greening at home. On a large scale, it will be possible to incorporate hydroponic cultivation that can be used professionally as agriculture, can be easily managed, and can reduce maintenance costs.

Since the planter for hydroponic cultivation according to the present invention irrigates the plowed soil contained in the planter, the consumption of the nutrient solution is small compared to hydroponic cultivation in which the nutrient solution is constantly circulated. Cost is low. In addition, since the surplus nutrient solution is discharged from the drainage hole provided on the bottom, it is easy to collect and reuse the discharged nutrient solution while maintaining the irrigation state in the planter well. is there.

Using synthetic resin as a raw material, the bottom part, the side part with ribs on the outer side connected to both sides of the bottom part, and the upper edge part connected to the outside of the upper end of the side part are integrally formed, and both end parts A groove-shaped main member having an appropriate depth and length is formed, one connecting means is provided at one end of the main member, and the other connecting means connected to the connecting means is provided at the other end. The main body of the same shape provided with connecting means corresponding to each of the connecting means at both ends is provided in the length direction, and the bottom surface portion is gently inclined from the front, rear, left and right of the main member. A planter for hydroponic cultivation, which is formed on a slope and has a drain hole at the bottom of the slope.

Examples of the present invention will be described below.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a main member according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway vertical sectional view showing a use state of an embodiment.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 designates a bottom part 2, a side face part 3 arranged on both sides of the bottom part 2 with ribs 4 arranged on the outer side, and an upper edge part 5 connected to the outside of the upper end of the side part 3. A groove-shaped main member having an appropriate depth and length with both ends open, 6 is a connecting means comprising a combination of a longitudinal groove and a protrusion formed at one end of the main member 1, and 7 is a main body. The other connecting means 8 comprising a combination of a screw hole formed in the other end of the member 1 and a bolt and nut not shown is also provided at the end, and as shown in FIG. It is a superposition part superposed on a part.

The bottom surface portion 2 of the main member 1 is formed on an inclined surface that is appropriately gently inclined from the front and rear, and from the left and right, and has a drain hole 9 at the bottom of the inclined surface.
As shown in FIG. 2, the drainage hole 9 is connected to a drainage pipe 10 piped below the main member 1, thereby collecting excess water irrigated to the main member 1 and supplying the main member 1 with the nutrient water. The excess liquid is discharged out of the planter so that it can be reused.

When the main member 1 according to the present invention is used alone, as shown by imaginary lines in FIG. 1, an end face member 11 provided with connecting means 6 and 7 at both ends and an overlapping portion 8 is prepared and the main member 1 is prepared. Close the open end face of.
When the main member 1 is added in the length direction, the connecting means 6 and 7 corresponding to the overlapping parts 8 and the overlapping parts 8 are provided at both ends, respectively, and the overlapping part 8 is provided on the bottom surface. A desired number of main members 1 in which the portion 2, the side surface portion 3, the upper edge portion 5 and the rib 4 are formed in the same shape are added in the length direction, and the open end surface is closed by the end surface member 11 via the connecting means 6 and 7 at both ends. Hydroponic soil cultivation.

In the main member 1, cultivated soil is accommodated in the same manner as in normal hydroponics, and tomatoes or eggplants are planted, and the nutrient solution is supplied together with irrigation in the same manner as in normal planting.
In addition, the installation height of the main member 1 is arbitrarily high or low according to work and topography.

In carrying out the present invention, examples of the material of the main member 1 include P.I. In addition to using P, it is conceivable to use recycled plastic material or car dust collected from distribution channels such as households.
Further, the connecting means for connecting the main member 1 in the length direction is not limited to the combination of the longitudinal groove and the ridge or the combination of the screw hole and the bolt and nut, and an appropriate connecting means is selected from the commonly used means. You can choose.
Moreover, the place where the main member 1 is installed is used for gardening and rooftop greening in the home as described above, and in the case of adopting hydroponic cultivation for professional agriculture management on a large scale. Is also suitable.

It is a perspective view of the main body member concerning the present invention. 1 is a partially cut vertical elevation showing a use state of the embodiment.
