Description

  The present invention relates to a tomato cultivation attracting apparatus for attracting a stem in cultivation of tomatoes and a method for attracting and growing a tomato stem.

  In tomato cultivation, when harvesting over a long period of 5 to 6 months, the stem length reaches 4 to 5 m. So, while growing the stem along the attracting string hanging from above, bundling the attracting string at the top, releasing the attracting string according to the growth of the stem, shifting the position of the attracting string to the side, A cultivation method in which the tip position of the stem is moved obliquely downward is widely performed. However, in this method, it is necessary to perform an operation for unraveling the attracting string for each tomato stalk and moving it sideways, and there is a problem that the labor required for the operation increases as the number of cultivated trees increases. . In addition, when the work of unwinding the attracting string by hand and moving it sideways, the stem moved more than necessary up and down and left and right during the work, causing stress on the tomatoes and adversely affecting growth.

Therefore, in recent years, a method has been proposed in which a string along a stem is mechanically operated to move the position of the tip of the stem obliquely downward. For example, in Patent Document 1, a fixed girder with an attracting string is provided above the stem, a movable girder is provided so as to be movable along the longitudinal direction of the fixed girder, and a guide roller attached to the movable girder is used. A cultivation device is described that hangs down the pull string. According to this cultivation apparatus, by first moving the movable girder in the direction opposite to the attachment position of the attracting string, and moving the movable girder toward the attachment position of the attracting string according to the growth of the stem. The tip position of the stem can be easily moved obliquely downward.
JP 2001-231373 A

  However, the cultivation apparatus described in Patent Document 1 has a problem that the number of parts is large because a guide roller must be attached to each stem. Further, since the weight applied to the attracting string increases as the tomato grows, there is a problem that an appropriate mechanism is required to smoothly move the movable girder. Therefore, development of a simpler and cheaper apparatus and method has been desired.

  This invention is made | formed based on such a problem, and it aims at providing the simple and cheap tomato cultivation attraction apparatus and tomato cultivation method which can attract a stem easily.

  The tomato cultivation attraction apparatus of the present invention attracts a tomato stalk along an attraction string that hangs down from above, supports the attraction string by attaching it at an angle, and rewinding the attraction string. Rotating rod to move the position of the tip of the stem diagonally downward, and a support member that rotatably supports the rotating rod above the stem.

  The method for cultivating tomatoes of the present invention is a method for attracting tomato stems along an attracting cord that hangs down from above, and a rotating rod that is attached to the attracting cord and wound obliquely is disposed above the stem. Then, the attracting string is hung from the rotating rod and the stem is set along the stem. To do.

  According to the tomato cultivation attracting apparatus of the present invention, the attracting string is wound around the rotating rod at an angle so as to support it. By rotating the rotating rod in the direction to rewind the attracting string, the tip position of the stem can be easily obtained. Can be moved diagonally downward. Therefore, the labor can be reduced and the attracting string is not moved more than necessary, so the stress on the tomato is reduced and the tomato can be cultivated well. Moreover, even if the tomato grows and the weight applied to the attracting string increases, the attracting string is rotated in the direction of rewinding, so that it can be moved with a very small force. Furthermore, since it is a simple structure in which the attracting string is wound obliquely around the rotating rod, the apparatus can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.

  In particular, if a plurality of attracting strings are attached by shifting the attachment position in the longitudinal direction of the rotating rod, a plurality of stems can be attracted at a time, and labor can be greatly reduced.

  Further, if an upper pressing member that presses the upper side of the rotating rod is provided, it is possible to prevent the rotating rod from being detached from the support member when the rotating rod is rotated.

  Further, a guide member that guides the attracting string, and a moving member that moves the guide member in the longitudinal direction of the rotating bar according to the rotation of the rotating bar and winds the attracting string around the rotating bar are provided. An attracting string can be easily wound around the rotating rod.

  In addition, the moving member is provided with a guide member that movably supports the guide member, a string-like pulling member that pulls and moves the guide member, and a rotating shaft that is the same as the rotating shaft. If it is provided with a winding member that rotates in conjunction with and winds the tension member, the attracting string can be wound around the rotating rod more easily.

  Furthermore, if the end portion on the open portion side of the support member is formed in a mountain shape along the longitudinal direction of the rotating rod, or at least the end portion on the open portion side of the support member is made of plastic. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the attracting string from being damaged or cut.

  In addition, a plurality of struts and a rod-like cross direction fixing member that connects and fixes the plurality of struts in a direction crossing the rotating rod, and the support member is disposed on the cross direction fixing member or the struts. By doing so, the rotating rod can be supported stably. In particular, if the lower support member is disposed on the cross direction fixing member, the distance from the support can be freely adjusted, and the rotating rod can be easily supported at a position sufficiently away from the support. . Therefore, when the stem is moved, the contact between the stem and the support can be reduced, the labor in the attracting work can be reduced, and the stress on the tomato can be reduced.

  Furthermore, the position of the tip of the stem can be easily adjusted by providing a rewinding prevention means for preventing the rotating rod from automatically rotating in the direction in which the attracting string is unwound according to the weight of the tomato. Can do.

  In addition, if a plurality of rotating rods are arranged in parallel and provided with a rotating means for rotating the plurality of rotating rods simultaneously, the plurality of rotating rods can be operated simultaneously, and labor can be further reduced. .

  In addition, according to the tomato cultivation method of the present invention, a rotating rod attached with an attracting string is attached above the stem, and the rotating rod is disposed obliquely. Since the rotating rod is rotated in the direction to rewind the attracting string in accordance with the growth of the stem, the tip position of the stem can be easily moved obliquely downward. Therefore, the labor can be reduced and the attracting string is not moved more than necessary, so the stress on the tomato is reduced and the tomato can be cultivated well. Moreover, even if the tomato grows and the weight applied to the attracting string becomes heavy, the attracting string is rotated in the rewinding direction, so that it can be easily moved with a very small force. Furthermore, the apparatus can be simple and inexpensive.

  In particular, if a plurality of attracting cords attached to the rotating rod in the longitudinal direction are shifted and the stems are set along the respective attracting cords, the stems are simultaneously attracted by rotating the rotating rods. And the labor can be greatly reduced.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

And a support member 30 that supports the rotary rod 20 so as to be rotatable above the stem M. For example, the attracting string 10 is shifted in the attachment position with respect to the longitudinal direction of the rotary rod 20 disposed along the cocoon so as to individually correspond to the plurality of tomato stems M planted along the cocoon. Can be installed.

  FIG. 3 shows one of the attracting strings 10 shown in FIG. The one end 11 of the attracting cord 10 is fixed to the rotating rod 20 by, for example, tying or sticking with a tape or the like. From the one end portion 11 to the other end portion 12 of the attracting cord 10, it is wound obliquely along the rotary rod 20, and the other end portion 12 is hung downward, for example, tied to the stem M of tomato, Or it is fixed by fastening with a clip or the like. The attraction string 10 is preferably made of hemp string, for example. This is because when attached to the rotating rod 20 and wound, it is difficult to slip due to friction, and the price is easy to obtain. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the length of the attracting string 10 hung down from the rotating bar 20 is increased by rotating the rotating bar 20 in the direction of rewinding the attracting string 10. According to the growth, the tip position of the stem M can be moved obliquely downward. The length of the attraction string 10 is set to a length sufficient to grow the tomato stem M. In addition, the area | region currently wound around each attracting string 10 in the rotating rod 20 may mutually overlap.

  The rotating rod 20 is made of, for example, a stainless steel pipe. Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of rotating rods 20 are arranged in parallel along a plurality of ridges formed in parallel. At the end of the rotating rod 20, for example, a rewind preventing means 21 for preventing the rotating rod 20 from automatically rotating in the direction in which the attracting string 10 is unwound is attached. As the unwinding prevention means 21, for example, a worm gear is preferable. If the worm gear is used, even if the tomato grows and becomes heavy, it is possible to easily prevent the attracting cord 10 from being unwound by the weight of the tomato, and to easily adjust the tip position of the stem M. Because it can. The worm gear is provided with a handle 22 for rotating the rotating rod 20, for example.

  The unwinding prevention means 21 is not shown, but for example, one end of a fixed string is attached to the rotating rod 12, and the other end of the fixed string is wound by reversing the direction in which the attracting string 10 is unwound. The part may be fixed to the support member 30 or the like. In this case, the handle 22 for rotating the rotating rod 20 is disposed directly on the rotating rod 20.

  Further, FIG. 2 shows the case where the handles 22 for rotating the respective rotating rods 20 are individually arranged. However, a plurality of rotating rods 20 may be provided with rotating means for rotating them simultaneously. . FIG. 5 shows an example of the configuration. This rotating means has one rotating rod 20 with the same rotating shaft, a worm gear 23 and a first spur gear 24 attached thereto, and a first spur gear 24 meshed with a second spur gear 25 and arranged.
