Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Problem] When collecting a growing plant on a plant growing panel, collecting a growing plant on the panel so that a plant grown on the back side of the plant growing panel can be easily collected without damaging the lower back. Provide equipment. Kind Code: A1 A pair of transport chains (5, 5) are disposed between the transport chains (5) and (5) below the rear surface of a plant growing panel (1) that is traversed and transported on the transport chains (5). And a support base 3 of the plant growing panel 1 which is rotatable and tiltable on the other side with the support as a fulcrum, and a tilting means 4 of the support base 3.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to an apparatus for collecting plants grown on a panel, and more particularly, to a method for collecting plants grown on a panel which facilitates the collection operation and improves the efficiency of collecting the plants grown on the panel during hydroponic cultivation of the plant. It relates to a sampling device.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Plants such as leafy vegetables, lettuce and other leafy vegetables, herbs, and flowering seedlings that have been conventionally grown on panels by hydroponic cultivation, etc., are transported from the plant cultivation room to the plant collection site together with the growing panels, as shown in Figure 1. The growing plants are collected in a state where the panels are placed horizontally on the conveyor so that they can be read.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, when collecting plants from the panel on the horizontal conveyor as in the conventional case, it is easy to collect the plants grown on the front side of the panel, but it is easy to collect the plants grown on the back side. It was difficult to reach even if it reached for a hand, and it was necessary to bend the waist. The present invention has been made in order to solve such a problem and to provide an apparatus for collecting plant-grown plants with improved work efficiency with less burden on the waist, etc. is there.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The device for collecting plant growing plants on the panel according to the present invention is disposed below the rear side of the plant growing panel that is located between the conveying chains and is laid on the conveying chains and is supported by one side. And a support for the plant growing panel, the other side of which is rotatable upward and tiltable, and a means for tilting the support. Next, the operation of the present invention will be described. When the plant growing panel on the transport chain is transported in front of the harvesting worker at the plant collecting place, the support of the plant growing panel is tilted by the tilting means, and the rear side of the plant growing panel is lifted. At the same time, the rearing vegetation comes closer to the harvester's hand and can easily harvest the plant.

[0005]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a state of transporting a plant growing panel on a conventional transport chain, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a device for collecting a growing plant on a panel according to the present invention. FIG. 3 is a perspective explanatory view showing one embodiment of growing a plant on a growing panel. As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the plants 2, 2, 2 on the plant growing panels 1, 1,... Sprayed under the structure. At this time, the nutrient solution (spray) is sprayed through the nozzle holes 12 of the nutrient solution spray pipe 9 provided inside the plant growing panels 1, 1,. At this time, the nutrient solution spray pipe 9 has one end connected to a nutrient solution supply source (not shown) via a flexible hose, and is rotatable by a motor 10. After a required plant growing period, the plant growing panels 1, 1,... Are laid on a pair of transport chains 5, 5 to collect and harvest the plants 2, 2, 2,. Sent. In the plant collection site, the plant growing panel 1 conveyed to the front of the harvesting worker M is supported by the support 3 of the plant panel 1 which is tiltable and rotatable as shown in FIG. It is lifted on the back side and tilted with one side (front side) as a fulcrum. At this time, the inclination of the support base 3 can be adjusted to a desired inclination angle by an inclination means 4 composed of an air cylinder provided with a telescopic rod 4 ′ disposed below the support base 3. I have.

Further, if necessary, a locking portion 13 for supporting the weight of one side of the plant growing panel 1 can be formed on one side of the support base 3. When the rear side of the plant growing panel 1 is lifted and inclined, the plants 2, 2,... On the plant growing panel 1 can all reach the worker M without bending the hips. Sampling work is easier and more efficient. After the completion of plant collection, the plant growing panel 1 returns to the horizontal position again together with the support 3 by the tilting means 4, and only the plant growing panel 1 is carried out to the next step by the transport chain 5.

[0007] The plant growing panel 1 used in the embodiment of the present invention is generally made of a foaming synthetic resin such as styrene foam, or a ceramic material such as a ceramic plate. Those having a width of 2 m and a width of 1 m are often used, but are not limited thereto.

[0008]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, the apparatus for collecting plant growing plants on the panel according to the present invention is composed of the support base of the plant growing panel for tilting the plant growing panel between the pair of transport chains and the means for tilting the plant growing panel. Since the plants grown on the back side can be brought closer to the front, the plant collecting operation can be easily performed without damaging the lower back. In addition, the work of taking out the plant growing panel after collecting the plant can be automatically advanced by the transport chain by returning the growing panel to the original horizontal position.
