Description

  [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a fruit support stretching device that stretches a sheet-like fruit support made of a sheet or a net that supports a fruit that grows and hangs down from below, in a tall cultivation apparatus used for cultivation of strawberries and the like.

  Conventionally, Patent Document 1 discloses a fruit support stretching device for stretching a fruit support. This technology includes an attachment gripping portion that is rotatably attached to the cultivation bed support member at the base end portion of the apparatus body, and the upper surface is curved and bulged, and a key-like sheet locking portion is appropriately spaced on the curved bulging surface. It is characterized in that a plurality of holes are opened in the fruit supporting sheet surface, and the holes can be attached to the surface by engaging the sheet engaging portions.

By the way, the fruit support body tensioning device having the above-described structure has a problem that it is necessary to open a hole in the fruit support sheet in advance, which is costly. Also, depending on the material of the fruit support sheet, the hole expands when locked and easily breaks, making it difficult to handle. Furthermore, since the hole was previously opened at a fixed position, it was not possible to readjust the fruit support sheet and readjust the tension.
JP 2003-111522 A

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve these conventional problems, and can easily and inexpensively stretch the fruit support without breakage, and it is possible to readjust the tension and readjust the tension. An object of the present invention is to provide a fruit support body tensioning device for an elevated cultivation apparatus.

The configuration of the present invention that solves this problem is as follows.
1) The above-mentioned fruit support in an elevated cultivation apparatus in which a cultivation bed is arranged at a predetermined height on a leg stand, and a planar fruit support that supports the fruit that grows and hangs down on the side of the cultivation bed is laid from below. It is a fruit support tensioning device that stretches the body, the whole is substantially L-shaped, and the base end of one side is a mounting part that can be height-adjusted to a leg stand, and the other side is a fruit support It is formed on a gently curved support arm that is supported on the upper surface, and a pin hole is formed to hold the fruit support straddling at least both ends of the support arm with a detachable pin. Fruit support stretcher 2) of the cultivation device Fruit support stretcher 3) of the cultivating device described in 1) above, wherein the pin inserted into the pin hole is detachably attached to the fruit support stretcher 3) Form a groove in the lateral direction of the cultivation bed on the curved upper part of the arm, and wire in the groove The fruit support stretching device for the high cultivation apparatus according to 1) or 2) described above, wherein the fruit support is supported from below by being hung in the lateral direction of the cultivation bed so as to reduce looseness. 4) Any one of the above 1) to 3), wherein the attachment portion is a separate holding member that holds the leg base and a hooking portion that hangs down on the holding member so as to be detachable. It exists in the fruit support body stretching device of the tall cultivation apparatus of description.

  According to the present invention, since the fruit support is pressed against the pin hole of the support arm and held by the pin, it is not necessary to open a hole in the fruit support in advance, and can be stretched at a low cost and is not easily damaged. Convenient. Moreover, since the pin can be detached, the tension can be adjusted by re-stiffening the slackened fruit support.

  The fruit support tension device of the present invention is made of plastic or the like, and if the pin to be inserted into the pin hole is detachably integrated with the fruit support tension device, it is necessary to separately manage the pin before use There is no, and workability is excellent even during installation. In addition, a groove in the lateral direction of the cultivation bed is formed on the curved upper part of the support arm, a wire is inserted into the groove, and it is hung in the lateral direction of the cultivation bed, and the fruit support is supported from below and loosened. It is desirable to be able to reduce it. If the attachment part is formed on a separate holding member that holds the leg stand and hangs from the top so that it can be detachably attached, the fruit support tensioning device is common even if the dimensions of the leg stand are different. Can be used at low cost. In addition, as a fruit support body, what can receive fruits on a surface, such as a vinyl sheet and a net | network, is used. Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the fruit support tensioner according to the embodiment, FIG. 2 is a side view of the fruit support tensioner according to the embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a usage state of the fruit support tensioner according to the embodiment. FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing a use state of the fruit support body stretching device of the embodiment. In the figure, 1 is a fruit support stretching device, 2 is a mounting portion, 2a is an insertion space, 2b is a locking portion, 3 is a clamping member, 3a is a clamping space, 3b is a locking piece, 4 is a support arm, 4a is a curved surface, 4b is a pin hole, 4c is a wire groove, 5 is a pin, 6 is a wire, 7 is a fruit support sheet, 8 is a cultivation bed, 9 is a leg stand, G is a cultivation soil, P is a strawberry, Pa is a fruit It is.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the fruit support tensioner 1 of this embodiment is generally L-shaped as a whole and is substantially L-shaped, with a base end portion of one side sandwiching a pipe-shaped leg base 9. A separate holding member 3 is suspended from above to form a locking portion 2 that is detachably locked, and the other side is formed on a support arm 4 having a gently curved surface 4a that supports the fruit support sheet 7 on the top surface. The support arm 4 is formed with a pin hole 4b for inserting the pin 5 at the base upper surface and the distal end thereof, and the pin 5 is integrally attached to the fruit support body stretching device 1 so as to be removable, and the curved surface 4a.
