[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a plant acclimatization apparatus for adapting a plant obtained by tissue culture or the like to a natural environment.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 3 shows an example of a conventional acclimation apparatus. The air in the acclimatization chamber 1 flows between the shelves 2 installed in multiple stages and then enters the circulation duct 4 through the porous partition plate 3 as shown by solid arrows. Next, the air flows through the circulation duct 4 and is blown into the acclimation chamber 1 by the circulation fan 5 to be circulated again. On the other hand, a part of the air flowing through the circulation duct 4 enters the refrigerating device 6 and is cooled and dehumidified in the process of passing through the cooler 7 as shown by the dashed arrow, and then is cooled and dehumidified in the process of passing through the heater 8. Reheated to a temperature of Then
The air is supplied to the ultrasonic humidifier 1 by a ventilation fan 9.
The humidifier 10 is guided to 0, where it is humidified by the atomized water generated from the humidifier 10. The humidified air merges with the air in the circulation duct 4 and is then blown into the acclimation chamber 1 by the circulation fan 5. Thus, the temperature and humidity in the acclimatization chamber 1 are adjusted. An air guide plate 15 is provided on the side of the humidifier 10 opposite to the refrigerating device 6, and the flow of the air flowing from the acclimation chamber 1 into the circulation duct 4 is blocked by the air guide plate 15. As a result, the flow resistance of the humidified air passing through the humidifier 10 is reduced.

An artificial light illuminator 11 (for example, a fluorescent lamp) is attached to the back of a shelf 2 installed in the acclimatization room 1, and this illuminator 11 is turned on and off at a predetermined cycle to acclimatize the acclimation room. 1
The interior is alternately placed in a day environment and a night environment.

[0004] As described above, environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and light in the acclimatization chamber 1 are set, and the plants (not shown) juxtaposed on the shelf 2 gradually adapt to the natural environment.

[0005]

In the conventional acclimatizing apparatus for plants, the humidified air passing through the humidifier 10 comes into contact with the baffle plate 15 and water droplets adhere to the baffle plate 15, resulting in insufficient humidification. In addition, there is a problem that the water drops fall and stain the floor of the acclimatization apparatus.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to provide an acclimatizing apparatus for plants in which humidified air is allowed to flow so as not to contact a baffle plate.

[0007]

According to the present invention, there is provided a plant having a refrigerating device for cooling or heating the air in an acclimation chamber and a humidifier installed in a circulation duct for humidifying the air in the acclimation room. In the humidifier, an air guide plate is disposed with a gap beside the humidifier, and an air outlet for guiding the air blown out from the refrigerating device to the humidifier and an air outlet for guiding the air to the air guide plate are provided.
The humidifier and the air guided to the baffle plate
It was configured to pass through the gap with the wind guide plate .

[0008]

According to the present invention, the air introduced from the refrigerating device to the baffle plate has a gap between the humidifier and the baffle plate.
Passes through the flow, the air curtain is formed in the gap between the humidifier and the air guide plate. Thus, air humidified here led to the humidifier from the refrigeration system, flows through without contacting Saegigi is in the air curtain to the baffle plate.

[0009]

FIG. 1 is a partial schematic sectional view of an acclimating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a baffle plate according to the embodiment.

The humidifier 10 includes a support plate 21 in the circulation duct 4.
The air guide plate 23 is provided at the end of the support plate 21 with a gap 22 on the side facing the acclimation chamber 1, that is, on the side of the humidifier 10 opposite to the refrigerator 6. It is attached and arranged. As shown in FIG. 2, the air guide plate 23 has both side ends and a lower end bent toward the humidifier 10. Part of the air blown from the ventilation fan 9 of the refrigeration system 6 is guided to the humidifier 10 through the upper outlet 25, and part of the air is guided to the lower part of the baffle plate 23 through the lower outlet 24. It is supposed to be. The other configuration of this embodiment is the same as the conventional configuration shown in FIG.
Corresponding members have the same reference characters allotted, and description thereof will not be repeated.

In this embodiment, the ventilation fan 9 is connected to the outlet 2
4, the air guided to the lower part of the baffle plate 23 flows along the baffle plate 23 through the gap 22 between the baffle plate 23 and the humidifier 10, as indicated by a white arrow , An air curtain is formed in a gap 22 between the humidifier 10 and the air guide plate 23.
Therefore, the humidifier 1 passes from the ventilation fan 9 through the air outlet 25.
0, and the humidified air is blocked by the air curtain as shown by the black arrow, and
Flows without touching 3. This prevents the humidified air from coming into contact with the air guide plate 23 to prevent water droplets from adhering, thereby preventing insufficient humidification and preventing the water droplets from falling and soiling the floor surface of the acclimatization device. Is done.

[0012]

According to the present invention, a part of the air blown out of the refrigerating device is guided to the baffle plate to form an air curtain in a gap between the humidifier and the baffle plate. The air guided to the vessel and humidified here is blocked by the air curtain and flows without contacting the air guide plate. For this reason, adhesion of water droplets to the air guide plate is prevented, insufficient humidification is eliminated, and soiling of the floor of the acclimation device due to falling of the water droplets can be prevented.
