DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The outdoor gardening curtain device of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a curtain device, which is an upper cable 2, a lower cable 4, a curtain supporting wire 6, a curtain hanging tool 7,
It is configured to include a traveling pipe 8, a driving mechanism 9, a curtain 10, and the like.

[0007] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the upper cable 2 is laid over a support 3 erected on the ground at a predetermined interval so as to draw an arc of which a substantially central portion becomes lower.
At least two or more are arranged so as to face each other. The upper cable 2 is made of a relatively thick wire or the like, but the material is not particularly limited.

[0008] Like the upper cable 2, the lower cable 4 is bridged between the columns 3, and two or more cables are provided to face each other, and a plurality of the lower cables 4 are supported between the columns 3 by the upper cable 2. It is suspended and supported by a suspension member 5 composed of a wire, a string or the like. As the suspending member 5, the one having a shorter length is disposed between the columns 3 in the central portion thereof, and the lower cable 4 suspended and supported by this is shown in FIG. 2. As described above, the support pillars 3 are stretched substantially in an arch shape (bow shape).

The curtain supporting wire 6 is composed of a wire, a string or the like, and a plurality of such wires are laid between the lower cables 4 disposed opposite to each other, that is, in a direction substantially orthogonal to the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 4. (See FIGS. 1 and 3).
A plurality of curtain hanging members 7 are movably supported by each curtain supporting wire 6. The curtain hanging tool 7 is not particularly limited. For example, it is possible to use a curtain hanging tool that includes a holding portion that can hold an arbitrary part of the curtain 10 and a ring portion that is inserted into the curtain supporting wire 6. it can.

The traveling pipe 8 is provided with the curtain supporting wire 6.
It is disposed so as to be able to reciprocate between the lower cables 4 disposed on the upper side, that is, in a direction perpendicular to the respective curtain supporting wires 6. Further, since it reciprocates on the curtain supporting wire 6, it is composed of a flexible pipe material, wire, or the like that bends along the curtain supporting wire 6 into a substantially arch shape similar to the lower cable 4. . In addition,
An arched part may be used in advance.

The driving means for reciprocating the traveling pipe 8 may be of any type.
As shown in FIG. 1, a motor 91 fixed to an appropriate position of the column 3 adjacent to one lower cable 4 is connected to a drive shaft of the motor 91 via a joint member (not shown). A drive drum 92, a wire drum 93 fitted and fixed at an appropriate position of the drive rod 92, a base end and the other end fixed to the wire drum 93, and a middle part of the wire drum 93 to the other lower cable 4. It can be driven by a drive mechanism 9 having a drive wire 95 wound around a pulley 94 fixed to an appropriate position of the adjacent column 3 and inverted. That is, the traveling pipe 8 is connected to an appropriate position of the driving wire 95 by an arbitrary fixing tool, so that the traveling pipe 8 is reciprocated with the front and rear driving of the driving wire 95. In addition,
The drive wire 95 is stretched over the lower cable 4 and the traveling pipe 8 as shown in FIG. Reference numeral 96 denotes a bearing member for the drive rod 92 fixed to and disposed on each of the columns 3, and reference numeral 97 denotes a relay pulley.

An arbitrary portion of the curtain 10 is sandwiched by the curtain hanging member 7 and is disposed below the curtain supporting wire 6. The base end 10a is fixed to an arbitrary lower cable 4 or a curtain hanging member 7 arranged closest to the lower cable 4, and the distal end 10b is fixed to a traveling pipe 8. The fixing method is not particularly limited. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the packer 8 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape and partially opened.
a can be clamped and fixed. This curtain 10
Any material may be used as long as it can protect the crop from external pressures such as wind and rain and hail and has water permeability and air permeability. For example, as shown in FIG. Plastic material 11 such as nylon cut into pieces
And a metal material 12 such as an aluminum foil cut into a tape shape and woven in one direction or in a vertical and horizontal direction by using a warp 13 and a weft 14. With such a knitting curtain, heat transmission / reflection characteristics, light transmission / reflection characteristics, heat absorption / light absorption characteristics, and the like can be exhibited as characteristics of nylon or aluminum foil. In particular, air permeability and water permeability are appropriately maintained from the mesh. In addition,
A plastic sheet or a cold gauze covered with a metal thin film can also be used.

Next, the operation of the outdoor horticultural curtain apparatus 1 of this embodiment will be described. First, when the weather is fine, the curtain 10 is opened and accordion-likely moved toward the base end 10a. Then, when rain, hail falls, or strong wind blows, the motor 91 of the driving device 9 is operated. As a result, the driving wire 95 is driven in a predetermined direction, and the tip pipe 8 connected to the driving wire 95 is also moved from one lower cable 4 side to the other lower cable 4 side. Accordingly, the curtain 10 is guided by the distal end pipe 8 and is sequentially extended from the distal end portion 10b side. At this time, according to the present embodiment, since the curtain 10 is opened and closed below the curtain supporting wire 6 through the curtain hanging tool 7 but not above the curtain supporting wire 6, the curtain 10 contacts the curtain supporting wire 6. This prevents the curtain 10 from being worn and damaged.

When the traveling pipe 8 approaches the other lower cable 4, the curtain 10 is closed in an arch shape (see FIG. 1). This makes it possible to prevent damage to the fruit tree or the like due to direct contact of the rain or hail with the fruit tree or the like. In particular, since it is stretched in the shape of an arch, it is possible to exhibit strength that can sufficiently resist a load caused by wind, rain, hail, or the like. On the other hand, even if the curtain 10 is closed, the curtain 10 of this embodiment has water permeability and air permeability, so that an appropriate water supply to the ground can be ensured.

[0015]

[Effect of the Invention] The outdoor gardening curtain device of the present invention can open and close the curtain with a simple structure.
It is suitable as a device for preventing damage such as fruit pain caused by wind and rain or hail in outdoor horticulture such as large-scale fruit tree cultivation.
Therefore, harvesting work in rainy weather is also possible.
Particularly, in a tourist orchard, it becomes possible for tourists to enjoy fruit tree harvesting even in rainy weather. In addition, closing the curtain also has an anti-frost effect, and can prevent a decrease in the yield due to cold damage or the like. Further, if a metal material such as an aluminum foil is used as a material for the curtain, there is also a bird catching effect.
