4). Placement of Vegetation Tray 11 on Hydroponic Cultivation Tank 15 Next, the configuration of the receiving part 5 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b). 4 (a) and 4 (b) are diagrams showing the configuration of the receiving portion 5, FIG. 4 (a) is a cross-sectional view of the receiving portion 5, and FIG. It is a top view. As described above, the receiving portion 5 used in the present embodiment is configured by placing the vegetation tray 11 on the hydroponic water tank 15 protruding rearward and forward (longitudinal direction X) from the structural unit 3. is there.

  As shown to Fig.4 (a), the receiving part 5 is mounted and comprised in the state which interviewed the vegetation tray 11 above the water tank 15 for hydroponic cultivation, Comprising: Both are not fixed completely. More specifically, one end portion (end portion communicating with the outside) of the concave groove 13 of the vegetation tray 11 is opposed to the hydroponic cultivation apparatus 1 side, and is inclined at a predetermined gradient angle θ (hydroponic water tank. The end of the vegetation tray 11 is placed on the end of the vegetation tray 11), and the end of the water culture tank 15 in which one end of the groove 13 is disposed in the hydroponic cultivation apparatus 1. Inserted from the edge to the inside. When the vegetation tray 11 has the gradient angle θ, the groove 13 is inclined so as to descend toward the structural unit 3, and the nutrient solution received in the groove 13 is caused to flow toward the hydroponic water tank 15 side. Can do.

  The ditch | groove 13 and the water culture tank 15 are substantially parallel to the elongate direction X of the hydroponic cultivation apparatus 1, and the cross-sectional shape of the water culture tank 15 and the groove 13 of the vegetation tray 11 is substantially the same shape. Since they are compatible with each other in (similar shape), the water tank 15 for hydroponics can be easily inserted (fitted) into the concave grooves 13 (see FIG. 4B in particular).

Effects of configuring the receiving portion 5 As described above, the receiving portion 5 is configured to be rearward (the discharge side of the plant 51) or rearward and forward (the insertion side of the plant 51) in the longitudinal direction X of the hydroponic cultivation apparatus 1. Thus, when the vegetation plate 17 on which the plant 51 is vegetated is taken out from the hydroponic cultivation apparatus 1 and harvested, the vegetation plate 17 is temporarily placed on the receiving portion 5 and the vegetation tray 11 is received while receiving the nutrient solution of the root portion 53. Since it can be moved to a predetermined external position (after movement, the root 53 below the vegetation plate 17 is removed), the workability can be improved and the physical burden on the user can be reduced. It is possible to prevent moisture from dripping onto the floor or the like.

  When the vegetation plate 17 is placed on the receiving portion 5, the root 53 of the plant 51 is inserted into the concave groove 13 of the vegetation tray 11 to be protected. Since the plants 51 are inserted into the different concave grooves 13 (the plants 51 inserted into the same concave groove 13 have a good separation distance and do not get close to each other), they do not interfere with each other.

  Moreover, the same effect can be acquired also when inserting the vegetation plate 17 which planted the plant 51 in the cultivation apparatus 1 and starting cultivation (vegetation). Moreover, since the receiving part 5 has a cantilever structure as described above, the lower part of the receiving part 5 does not interfere with various operations.

  In addition, since water such as nutrient solution received in the concave groove 13 of the vegetation tray 11 flows into the hydroponics tank 15 due to the gradient angle θ of the vegetation tray 11, it does not accumulate in the concave groove 13 for a long time, and the hygiene. In particular, a good state can be maintained. Moreover, by forming a plurality of rows so that the number of the recessed grooves 13 is the same as the number of the hydroponics water tanks 15, the roots 53 of the plants 51 received by each of them are prevented from being entangled and the work is smoothly performed. be able to.

It is desirable that the drainage pipe 7 is not disposed on the receiving portion 5 side, but is disposed on the hydroponic cultivation apparatus 1 side. More specifically, for example, the drainage pipe 7 is disposed so as to communicate with the bottom of the water culture tank 15 on the downstream side, and is collected in a tub (not shown) or the like along the structure unit 3 or the like below. It is desirable to configure it to be watered.

  By arranging the drain pipe 7 on the hydroponic cultivation apparatus 1 side, when the vegetation plate 17 on which the plant 51 is vegetated is taken out from the hydroponic cultivation apparatus 1 and harvested, the vegetation plate 17 comes into contact with the drain pipe 7. Various handling restrictions associated with the work, such as reducing workability, are eliminated, and the work can be performed more easily. In addition, although the drain pipe 7 is for draining nutrient solution etc. from the hydroponics tank 15 to the outside, in order to supply nutrient solution etc. to the hydroponics tank 15 from the outside, although not shown in figure A nutrient solution introduction pipe or the like may be provided as appropriate.

This is a temporary storage place for the vegetation plate 17 during harvesting or vegetation. Of course, not only the workability is improved, but also the nutrient solution or the like can be prevented from dripping onto the floor surface 55. For example, it is an embodiment used when a plant cultivated to a level that can be harvested in a cultivation tank is placed on the main receiving part, and then the plant is removed from the vegetation plate and the root part is separated and harvested.

  The amount of protrusion of the hydroponic cultivation tank 15 is appropriately determined according to the length dimension in the longitudinal direction X of the vegetation plate 17 used in the hydroponic cultivation apparatus 1, and more preferably in the longitudinal direction X of the vegetation plate 17. Desirably, the dimension is larger than the length dimension. If the amount of protrusion is larger than the length dimension of the vegetation plate 17 in the longitudinal direction X, the vegetation plate 17 can be easily pulled out or inserted from the hydroponic cultivation apparatus 1 during harvesting or vegetation.

  At the time of vegetation, the vegetation plate 17 may be slid and inserted into the hydroponic cultivation apparatus 1 after being placed on the receiving portion 105.
