Description

The present invention is a technology development in the field of vegetable cultivation for agriculture against nature, and it is possible to produce a constant amount of food in a short period if there is a small amount of land or area even in mountainous areas and urban areas with little flat land. This is related to the technology development field.

In the future, the world population is expected to explode. However, as for food production to respond to the population growth, explosive production is not immediately available, and it is difficult to obtain results immediately because nature's agricultural production is particularly affected by the weather. Yes, the development of the food sector takes time, and there are years of good harvest and bad harvest, and the agriculture sector does not always go as expected, but the present invention depends on the weather in the vegetable field in agriculture. It is also intended to ensure that vegetables are harvested in a short period of time and in a planned manner, especially in Japan, where there are few flat grounds. It is intended to make the best use of the sun's grace by effectively incorporating great energy sources. Certainly, greenhouse farming has been adopted by many farmers in the agricultural field, especially leaf and flower cultivation, and planned cultivation has been carried out in various places. Gazettes are simply fixed hydroponics, and these have been popularized nationwide, with a lot of merits such as greenhouse effect in greenhouse houses, insect control, weed prevention, etc. The aim of this technology is to make use of the advantages of these conventional technologies and to provide a mechanical and industrial vegetable factory.

JP 2006-042765 A

The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and its purpose is to provide an automatic rotating multi-stage type that anyone can easily use as long as there is a certain small area, such as a site of about several tens of tsubo to 150 tsubo or the rooftop of a building. By using hydroponic cultivation equipment, even amateurs will be able to provide technology that enables industrial production of vegetable cultivation immediately, so that they can prepare for food shortages.

Means to solve the problem

The above-mentioned problems concerning nature, especially agriculture based on solar energy, and vegetable cultivation mainly using leaves can be solved by the automatic rotary multi-stage hydroponic cultivation apparatus of the present invention having the following configuration.
1. That is, the structure of the automatic rotation type multi-stage hydroponic cultivation apparatus of the present invention is that humans can freely enter and exit the glass covered with sunlight, a transparent vinyl roof, or a house covered with a frame. A skeleton that extends to the back side of the greenhouse house with a triangular pyramid shape that is a little higher than possible, and a rotating shelf that rotates 3-10 times a day around the skeleton. The rotation speed is adjusted according to the vegetables to be cultivated. A seedling shelf planter that grows various vegetables is placed on the rotating shelf. In the planter, seedlings of various vegetables sprouted in a nursery in a separate room are transplanted to the planter together with the whole seedling and the foam or sponge material used as the nursery. The planter is supplied with the required amount of water for each vegetable quantitatively and automatically, not too much, but not too little, and the entire shelf can be fully sun-plated.
2. Also, the floor in the greenhouse house is laid out so that the regular triangle-shaped reflectors that do not interfere with walking can be used without waste, and the wall surface of the greenhouse house is also the greenhouse house. Cover it with a white-colored waterproof curtain so as not to miss the sunlight that enters the inside, and inside the reflective curtain, it is possible to replace the air in the greenhouse house as necessary, and also for pests and weed species In order to prevent intrusion, spread the mesh prevention sheet, roll up the reflective curtain as necessary, replace the air, adjust the temperature in the greenhouse, and contact with fresh outside air especially needed by vegetables To be able to
3. Basically, for the year-round cultivation of vegetables, the climate of Japan is usually cold in winter and hot in summer. This makes the air layer of the highest thermal insulation effect, and has a double effect of heat insulation from the heat and the warming effect inside the greenhouse house.
4. In addition, in order to keep the temperature inside the greenhouse house constant, a separate chamber is provided with a combustion chamber for the burner, and a device for keeping the exhaust gas warm and quantitatively injecting carbon dioxide from the exhaust gas is provided to automatically manage the temperature inside the greenhouse house. Structure. In order to save fuel costs for thermal insulation, we dig a few meters underground in the greenhouse house or around the greenhouse, and embed several metal pipes that are easy to introduce the underground temperature and have good heat conductivity and air permeability. However, in order to stably extract warm air throughout the year, a single connected air pipe is passed through the basement and the ceiling of the greenhouse, and the piping structure is finally blown into the greenhouse.
5. Greenhouses are usually covered with a plastic sheet that allows sunlight to pass through because of the photosynthesis of vegetables. However, because vinyl is vulnerable to wind damage such as typhoons, the greenhouse house sheet in Japan has vertical stripes. Sheets with horizontal stripes are preferred.

The invention's effect

With the introduction of the automatic rotating multi-stage hydroponic cultivation device of the present invention, even in the field of business agriculture allowed only to the owners of large farms, even small farmers who were once called Santan Farmer, have entered full-scale agriculture. It is possible to farm on the rooftops of urban buildings, especially in large cities, where there is a problem of profitability due to high land prices even if there is a market. It is a technology that enables salaried workers to enter the full-scale agricultural field when contradictions are resolved at the same time and baby boomers retire at a time.

The structure and function of the automatic rotary multistage hydroponic cultivation apparatus of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is an overall structural view of the present invention. In an ordinary greenhouse 1, this figure is a drawing, and an automatic rotating multi-stage loading platform 4 is only one building, but usually in one greenhouse house. An automatic rotating multi-stage loading platform extending to the back of multiple buildings is installed, and a plurality of planters are placed on the loading platform, and the loading platform is automatically turned on as needed by an automatic rotating conveyor powered by a motor. Cycle around and sunbathing at the same time is controlled so that all planters can have an equal bath. The rotational speed in the direction of the arrow 3 is automatically and systematically adjusted according to the setting of the control device. The direction of rotation can be reversed, and the seedlings of vegetables grown in a separate nursery room are transplanted together with the seedbed into the planter, and then water supply, liquid fertilizer, temperature control in the greenhouse, and carbon dioxide concentration in the planter All install automatic controlled devices.

The examples illustrate the invention.
A rotating multi-stage plant cultivation device with one row and three rows in a single row in a greenhouse on a slightly wider veranda and cultivated by seeding Komatsuna seeds on a planter, it takes about two months for normal harvesting. In this case, it is possible to harvest Komatsuna that grew well in 20 days after germination, mass production is possible even in a small area, and the height can be adjusted freely by a rotary type, so care is also sitting on a chair. It was confirmed that even the elderly can fully participate in the cultivation work without difficulty.

As described in detail above, the automatic rotating multi-stage plant cultivation apparatus of the present invention enables planned and industrial mass production of vegetables in a short period of time even in a small area, and is an urban area with a high underground price. Can produce a greenhouse house that can be profitable, so even a salaried worker, a retired employee, or an entrepreneur with a different job category can produce vegetables in the future if there is a certain small area. It will create a new industrial field in preparation for food shortages.
