Description

(4) The present invention relates to a collective pot used for raising seedlings of various crops, and more particularly, to a deploying device for developing a collective pot composed of individual pots of a square paper cylinder.

This type of collective pot has a structure in which individual pots of a hexagonal paper cylinder or a quadrilateral paper cylinder are overlapped with each other via a water-soluble adhesive, stored in a flat state, and formed into a honeycomb or lattice when used. They can be unfolded and placed in nursery boxes. FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 show the assembled pot body 1 after being expanded. The assembled pot body 1 composed of the individual pot bodies 6 of the square paper cylinder holds a state of being expanded in a lattice shape using the expansion frame 2. Then, it is placed in the seedling raising box 3 together with the deployment frame 2 as it is. The development frame 2 is formed in a rectangular shape in conformity with the contour of the upper edge of the seedling raising box 3, and a pair of frame frames 4, 4 opposed to each other are assembled with claw pieces 5, 5 provided in a comb shape. By inserting the pots 1 into the individual pots 6 located at both end rows in the developing direction of the pots 1, the collective pots 1 can be held in the deployed state.

Then, the collecting pots 1 placed in the seedling raising box 3 are subjected to soil filling and sowing, and the like. However, since the collecting pots 1 maintain the expanded state by the above-described soil filling, the expanding frame is set at this stage. 2 or when the seeding and covering are completed, the deployment frame 2 is removed. The collective pot body 1 on which the soil filling and sowing have been performed is raised in a greenhouse or the like for a certain period of time. Can be separated from each other and transplanted to the field as potted seedlings.

By the way, there are various types of deploying devices and deploying devices for deploying the collective pots in a honeycomb or lattice shape. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-45050 discloses that the Insert a pair of unfolding skewers into the non-adhesive part inside the unfolded label that is partially adhered to the individual pot body via a water-soluble adhesive, and fix two pairs of hooks that lock both ends of the unfolded skewer. There is disclosed a deploying device including a deploying table that is arranged to face each other at an interval. In this unfolding device, a pair of unfolding skewers inserted into the inside of the unfolding label are locked to each hook to unfold the collective pot body to a specified size, and the unfolding frame is superimposed on the unfolded pot body, and both ends of the unfolding frame The claw pieces are inserted into the individual pots in both rows of the collective pot body, and in this state, the collective pots are delivered to the deploying frame by pulling out the unfolding skewer, particularly from the individual pots of the hexagonal paper cylinder. It is widely used for the development work of collective pots.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 12, the collective pot 1 composed of the individual pots of the square paper cylinder has a configuration in which the individual pots 6 are folded in the left and right alternate directions, and the individual pots at both ends of the collective pot 1 By pulling out one end of the deployment label 7 adhered to the body 6 via a water-soluble adhesive in the direction of the arrow P, only the individual row body 6 in the end row can be easily opened (shown by a broken line), A method is used in which the collective pot body 1 is deployed on the deployment frame 2 facing up. FIG. 11 shows a conventional development mode in the collective pot 1 composed of the individual pots 6 of the square paper cylinder, and only the individual pots 6a in one end row of the collective pot 1 are opened. After inserting the claw piece 5a at one end of the expanded frame 2 into the individual pot body 6a, the collective pot body 1 is expanded in the direction of arrow F using the ten-handed expansion skewer 20, and The claw pieces 5b at the other end of the developing frame 2 are inserted into the individual pots 6b in the row. The unfolding skewer 20 is formed by integrally forming a skewer body 21 and a handle 22, and is provided inside the unfolded label 7 (not shown) in which the skewer body 21 is adhered to the individual pots 6 (here, 6b) in the end row in the unfolding direction. The collective pot body 1 is unfolded by inserting the non-adhesive portion in the direction of arrow S, grasping the handle 22 and pulling out in the direction of arrow F, and putting the claw piece 5b at the other end of the development frame 2 into the individual pot body 6b. After that, the skewers 21 were removed, and the collecting pots 1 were delivered to the developing frame 2.

However, according to the above-described mode of deployment of the collecting pot 1 by the deploying skewer 20, the skewer 21 is inserted into the non-adhesive portion inside the deployment label in advance, and the collecting pot 1 is deployed and held by the deployment frame 2. It was necessary to repeat the complicated work of extracting the skewer 21 later. In addition, since the individual pots 6 of the square paper cylinder are tightly joined to each other, when the collecting pot 1 is deployed more than the interval (specified deployment length) of the claw pieces 5a to 5b of the deployment frame 2, the deployment skewer is opened. When a large load (resistance force) is applied from the collecting pot 1 to the collecting pot 20 and the tip of the skewer 21 protruding from the deployment label is grasped and expanded together, the skewer is pressed by the resistance from the collecting pot 1. There is a problem that the central portion of the curved portion 21 is curved, so that the collecting pot 1 cannot be evenly spread, and it is difficult to deliver the collecting pot 1 to the developing frame 2 (claw piece 5b).
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-33644 Utility model registration No. 3075301 JP-A-2002-45050

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and is intended to provide an unfolding device that can easily and reliably deploy an aggregated pot formed of individual pots of a square paper cylinder and deliver it to an unfolding frame. Another object of the present invention is to provide a deployment device that can be shared by at least two or more types of collective pots having different paper cylinder dimensions of individual pots.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned goal, the present invention is a deployment device for deploying a collective pot formed by collecting individual pots of a square paper cylinder via a water-soluble adhesive in a lattice shape, and A hook piece to be inserted into and removed from the individual pots in the direction end row is provided in a comb-like shape on a long side of the hook member. In the deploying device configured as described above, it is possible to expand the collective pot body by inserting the hooking pieces from above into the individual pots in the end row of the deploying direction of the collective pot body and pulling out the pull-out direction as it is. In this way, the unfolding operation up to delivery to the unfolding frame for holding the assembled pot in the unfolded state can be performed by a series of operations.

Furthermore, in the present invention, the hook pieces are formed in a comb-like shape at intervals that can be inserted into individual pots of at least two or more types of collective pots having different square paper cylinder dimensions (length of one side of the square paper cylinder). It is characterized by being provided on a hook member. In other words, even if the collecting pots have different paper cylinder dimensions, the hook pieces to be inserted are provided at positions where they do not come into contact with the joints between the individual pots (opening edge of the paper cylinder). Even if it is not necessary to prepare a deployment device for each of the different collection pots, one deployment tool can be used for deployment of several types of collection pots.

展開 The present deployment device is characterized in that a handle is attached to the hooking member. The shape and the mounting position of the handle are not particularly limited, but it is preferable to attach the handle to the center of the other side of the hook member facing the hook piece. The operability of the deployment device such as the deployment of the pot and the delivery to the deployment frame is further improved.

In the present invention, the height h of the hook piece is set within a range of 2/3 to 1/3 of the height of the individual pot body of the unfolding collective pot body, and the width w of the hook piece is set to the individual pot cylinder. It is desirable that the width be in the range of 1/2 to 1/5 of the width.

According to the unfolding device according to the present invention, in a state in which the collective pot body in which the individual pot bodies in both rows are opened in advance is set at one end of the unfolding frame, the unfolding tool is arranged in the individual pot body in the unfolding direction row of the collective pot body. At the same time as inserting the hook piece from above, it is possible to easily and reliably perform the unfolding work up to the unfolding of the collecting pot and further to the delivery to the unfolding frame by a series of operations. Further, unlike the related art, not only the troublesome work of inserting the skewer into the non-adhesive portion inside the deployment label of the end row in the deployment direction of the collecting pot and removing the skewer after delivery to the deployment frame becomes unnecessary. Since the hook member of the present unfolding device has an L-shaped or U-shaped cross section, the central portion of the end row is uniformly unfolded even if the collecting pot is unfolded beyond the specified unfolding length. As a result, a great improvement in workability can be obtained.

Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows a deployment device according to the present invention. In the present embodiment, the hooking member 11 has an L-shaped cross section, and a plurality of hooking pieces 12 are provided in a comb-like shape at the end of a long side thereof. At the center of the other side of the hooking member 11 opposite to the hooking piece 12, a handle 13 in the form of a circular cylinder is provided in an orthogonal direction. The hook pieces 12 may be provided at equal intervals in accordance with the individual pot bodies 6 of the collective pot body 1 to be developed, or individually as shown by the width w of the hook pieces and the pitches p1, p2, p3. The pots 6 may be provided with a width and an interval that can be inserted into the individual pots 6 of at least two or more types of the collective pots 1 having different paper tube dimensions. In addition, in order to reduce the frictional force between the hook piece 12 and the individual pot body 6 when the developed collective pot body 1 is transferred to the deployment frame 2, the height h of the hook piece 12 is set to the height of the individual pot body 1 to be expanded. It is preferable that the height of the individual pots 6 is in the range of 2/3 to 1/3, and the width w of the hook 12 is in the range of 1/2 to 1/5 of the width of the individual pots 6 cylinder. .

Next, the operation of the deploying device 10 configured as described above will be described. The collective pot body 1 to which the present deployable device 10 is applied and the deploying frame 2 to which the collective pot body 1 is delivered are described in FIG. 13 and 14 are substantially the same as those shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, and therefore, the same portions are denoted by the same reference characters and description thereof will be omitted. The same direction of the arrow F is attached to the developing direction of the collecting pot, and hereinafter, it is simply referred to as the developing direction.

FIGS. 2 to 5 show the unfolding operation of the collecting pot 1 by the unfolding device 10 according to the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the collective pot body 1 is opened with individual pot bodies 6 a and 6 b of square paper cylinders located at both ends in the developing direction in advance, and the developing frame 2 is placed in the individual pot body 6 a at one end thereof. The nail piece 5a is inserted. Here, the hooking piece 12 provided on the long side of the hooking member 11 is inserted from above into the individual pot body 6b at the other end of the collecting pot body 1 while holding the handle 13 of the deployment device 10. By pulling out the handle 13 in the developing direction with the hook pieces 12 abutting on the inner wall of the individual pot body 6b, the collective pot body 1 can be developed. As shown in FIG. 4, when the handle 13 is unfolded, the end of the handle 13 is slightly pulled up from the horizontal, so that tension is applied to the tip of the hooking piece 12 to the collective pot 1, and the collectable pot 1 is unfolded. It can be prevented from falling off from the device 10. Further, from this state, the collecting pot body 1 is deployed to a position where the tip of the hooking piece 12 crosses the claw piece 5b of the deployment frame 2, and the hooking piece 12 is outside the claw piece 5b (right side in FIG. 4). Is lowered so that the end row side in the developing direction (individual bowl 6b side) is brought into contact with the tongue, and the claw piece 5b is inserted into the individual bowl 6b. Here, as shown in FIG. 5, when the end of the handle 13 of the unfolding device 10 is pushed down, the tension on the collecting pot 1 acts on the base of the hooking piece 12, and in the direction opposite to the tension. Since the resistance force from the collecting pot body 1 acts in the direction of the tip of the hook piece 12, the resistance from the collecting pot body 1 is further raised by simultaneously pushing down the end of the handle 13 and pulling up the hook piece 12 side. The force is transferred to the claw pieces 5b of the unfolding frame 2, and the unloading of the unfolding device 10 from the collecting bowl 1, that is, the delivery of the collecting bowl 1 to the unfolding frame 2 can be easily and reliably performed.

In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 6, several types of collective pots (here, three types of collective pots 1a, 1b, and 1c) are drawn according to the paper cylinder dimensions Wa, Wb, and Wc of the individual pots. As shown by the width w of the hanging pieces and the pitches p1, p2, p3... Pn, by providing the hanging members 12 with arbitrary widths and intervals on the hanging member 11, several types of paper cylinder dimensions of the individual pots are different. The unfolding work of the collecting pot can be performed by one unfolding device 10. Note that the hook pieces 12 are not necessarily inserted into all the individual pots located in the end row of the collective pot body, and there are individual pots in which the hook pieces 12 are not partially inserted. Since the tension from the individual pots acts, the collective pots can be evenly deployed.

As shown in FIG. 7, a stopper 14 may be provided at the end of the handle 13 of the present deploying device 10. Even if a large resistance force is applied, the handle 12 can be gripped. Further, instead of the stopper 14, a well-known technique may be used for the shape of the handle 13 and the non-slip means, such as providing a protrusion or a depression on the peripheral surface of the handle 13, or covering the handle 13 with a rubber material, for example. Of course.

The unfolding device according to the present invention is a unfolding device provided with a hook piece to be inserted into and removed from an individual pot located at the end row of the collecting pot in the unfolding direction, for example, as shown in FIG. As shown in (b), a plurality of hooking pieces 12 'may be provided at one end of the long side of the hooking member 11' having a U-shaped cross section, and the other end opposite to the handle 13 '. As shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, a plurality of hooking pieces 12 ″ are respectively provided on both ends of the long side of the top piece of the hooking member 11 ″ having a T-shaped cross section. It may be provided with a width, an interval, and the like, and by adopting such a configuration, the applicable range of the collective pot that can be deployed by one deployment tool can be widened.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, a plurality of hook pieces 32 may be slidably provided on the hook member 31, respectively. At the same time, by fastening the hook pieces 32 at arbitrary intervals by the fixing means (for example, thumb screws) 34, the hook pieces 32 can be used for deployment work of several kinds of collecting pots, and the same operation and effect can be obtained.
