Description

  The present invention relates to a hydroponics instrument set intended to be used when hydroponically cultivating a plant.

Conventionally, hydroponics has been adopted for the cultivation of crops or horticultural plants, but the hydroponics equipment used for this purpose is to collect one-piece production equipment and assemble it locally, or newly designed as needed. The necessary equipment was individually required according to the design. Therefore, since the necessary equipment is not configured as a set, it is designed in accordance with existing equipment, or at least a part of the equipment is newly made as described above to complete the hydroponic equipment.

  Conventionally, hydroponics has been proposed as a hydroponics device that includes a cultivation tank and a liquid fertilizer tank and appropriately transfers the liquid fertilizer to the cultivation tank (Patent Documents 1 and 2). There is also a proposal for a versatile hydroponic equipment for various types (Patent Document 3). Furthermore, although the direct purpose is not hydroponics, there is also a proposal for an appreciation water tank composed of a ceramic filter medium, a water tank, a germicidal lamp and an aeration device (Patent Document 4).

  Patent Documents 1 to 3 are all specified devices. Moreover, although patent document 4 can be sold as a set, it is an aquarium for appreciating specific fish and is not considered for hydroponics.

  In each of the devices of Patent Documents 1 to 3, fertilization and aeration are taken into account, but self-cleaning action in the aquarium is not taken into consideration, and therefore, each plant is cultivated and water used frequently. Must be replaced.

  In Patent Document 1, electrical parts such as a pump and a heater are easily handled and can be handled as a detachable set. However, as in the present invention, a microorganism bed and an aerobic microorganism are used. By making a set, it was not possible to achieve long-term continuous use of water in the tank, which could not be achieved in the past, or to promote plant activity or fish health.

  The devices of Patent Documents 2 and 3 are also considered to be manufactured according to the user's order, and it is recognized that at least the user can purchase the device appropriately and assemble it by himself. In addition, the known hydroponics apparatus has no consideration for self-cleaning action.

  This device is to sell a set of hydroponic cultivation equipment and distribute aerobic microorganisms to give self-cleaning action to the water used in the hydroponic cultivation device, and dramatically extend the conventional continuous use period. It was successful.

  For example, in the case of a hydroponic culture and an aquarium that also serves as an ornament, the water used was heavily contaminated unless the water was changed once every two weeks to one month. When applied, it was confirmed that it can withstand continuous use for usually more than 3 months. In particular, when hydroponics and a goldfish tank are combined, it was usual that the contamination of the water used was conspicuous in 2 weeks. However, if the set of this device was used, it was the same for at least 2 months. It was recognized that it could be used with freshness (transparency).

  Moreover, according to this device, since necessary equipment is set, even a beginner can easily and easily assemble and use it without any trouble.

  That is, this invention is a hydroponic cultivation instrument set characterized by combining a hydroponic water tank, an oxygen supply device installed in the water tank, and a packaged aerobic microorganisms sprayed on the bottom of the water tank. Hydroponic cultivation characterized by combining a water tank for cultivation, a water tank accessory for sowing, an oxygen supply device installed in the water tank, a packaged aerobic microorganism and a carrier for microorganisms sprayed on the bottom of the water tank It is an instrument set.

  Also, a hydroponic water tank, an aquarium accessory for sowing, an oxygen supply device installed in the water tank, a plant seed to be cultivated, a packaged aerobic microorganism and a microorganism carrier to be sprayed on the bottom of the water tank It is the instrument set for hydroponics characterized by combining, and the oxygen supply device is a watering device or an aeration device.

  Furthermore, the carrier for microorganisms is sand, gravel, ceramic grains, or a synthetic resin molded product, and the water tank accessory is a pot, a plant support, or a water tank stand.

  A device of the invention is a hydroponic cultivation device characterized by using the hydroponic cultivation instrument set according to claim 1 or 2.

In the above, the packaged aerobic bacterium is an aerobic soil bacterium that survives in sludge, for example, and is an aerobic bacterium that efficiently decomposes organic matter using a filter bed. For example, 2 g of packaged aerobic microorganisms are put in one bag (both carriers and nutrients are put in a bag) and sold. The appropriate number of microorganisms varies depending on conditions and is not constant, but is determined empirically (for example, 10 ³ to 10 ^{6 in} 1 g).

  The watering device is a set of a water supply pump and a water absorption pipe, and a water supply pipe and a water spray pipe. The water absorption pipe absorbs water in the water tank and sprays water from the water spray pipe to the upper part of the water tank.

  Examples of the carrier for microorganisms include sand, gravel, ceramic particles, and synthetic resin moldings (synthetic resin pieces, honeycombs, and other conventionally known filter bed materials). In short, a substance that forms a “microbial bed” in which microorganisms are implanted and propagated and organic substances are reasonably decomposed can be used.

  Plant seeds vary depending on the type of plant, the size of the seeds, etc., but are sold as a set in, for example, a paper bag, a synthetic resin bag or the like.

  According to this device, it can be used as it is by assembling the set hydroponics apparatus by obtaining the hydroponic equipment set. Moreover, since the inside of a water tank can be kept clean by using this instrument set for a long time, it is not necessary to change water frequently. In addition, even in the case of combining goldfish and other ornamental and hydroponic culture, goldfish feces and feed residue etc. are decomposed and processed by aerobic microorganisms, cleaning and purifying, longer water replacement period, There is an effect that can withstand use for a relatively long period of time.

  This device consists of a water tank for hydroponics, packaging aerobic microorganisms, a base attached to the upper part of the water tank, a concrete instrument for supporting a pot, a partition plate and other plants, a watering device and the aerobic microorganisms. A hydroponic equipment set is configured by combining with a carrier (for example, sand). Therefore, to implement hydroponics, purchase the set of equipment, put water in the aquarium, make a seed in the pot (for example, drainage) and sow, so that the surface of water reaches below the center of the pot. Support on the aquarium. A net bag or other support can be used in place of the bowl.

  Next, a water absorption pipe is laid on the bottom of the aquarium, a sprinkling pipe is installed on the aquarium, and a pump is interposed to absorb the water at the bottom of the aquarium so that it can be sprinkled on the aquarium.

  This watering apparatus is performed at regular intervals from the time when the plant germinates and the handle leaves rise. Moreover, liquid fertilizer can be supplied, or solid fertilizer can be put in a pot and dissolved with watering. Also, gravel is spread on the bottom of the water tank for about 1 cm to 3 cm, and aerobic microorganisms are sprayed on the gravel. Ceramic grains can be laid instead of the gravel.

  As described above, even if the hair roots grow toward the bottom of the tank as the plant grows or the organic solids settle on the gravel, the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water is maintained at a high level by watering. (If the amount of saturated oxygen is 1, 0.8-0.95), aerobic microorganisms propagate appropriately and decompose organic substances in water. In this case, even when the aquarium tank is also used as a fish tank such as a goldfish, water contamination due to fish feed or feces can be prevented. Moreover, since there is much dissolved oxygen amount as mentioned above, it becomes a favorable environment also for fish growth.

  The aerobic microorganisms mentioned above adhere to plant hair roots to create a barrier for invasion of bacteria and protect the plants, or enter (absorb) into plant tissues to assist inhalation of plant nutrients. It seems to have a positive effect on growth (according to experimental examples).

  That is, it is estimated that it contributes not only to water purification but also to plant growth. Although it has not yet been confirmed by experiments, it is possible to grow plants resistant to diseases by breeding aerobic microorganisms, facilitate the absorption of fertilizers, etc., and adjust the amount of fertilizer (saving).

  The effect of the microorganism set in this device has a “plant growth promoting effect” and is also a “harmful microorganism control material”. Moreover, in order to prevent the decay of water, it has the effect which can prevent the growth failure or death of a plant.

  In the above, when raising fish in an aquarium, it is preferable to use a plant fertilizer that has a positive effect on fish.

  As described above, since the tools and the like necessary for hydroponics are set, good hydroponics can be easily started.

  The set in the above is a specific example in the implementation of the device claimed in claim 1, but based on claim 1, if various additives are set, the intended hydroponics can be easily carried out without hindrance. can do. In particular, according to the present invention, it is characterized in that it can be kept clean even if the water used is not changed over a long period (for example, 3 months or more).

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1. A sprinkling pipe 2 is installed above the water surface 28 of a water tank 1 for hydroponic cultivation, a pump 3 is connected to the sprinkling pipe 2, and a water absorption board 4a is connected to a water absorption pipe 4a. 4 and a motor 5 that drives the pump 3 are connected to form an oxygen supply device 6. Further, gravel 8 is enclosed in the resin bag 7, and aerobic microorganisms 10 (powder) are enclosed in the paper bag 9. Next, a pot 11 containing a water basket 27 for sowing plant seeds and a support plate 12 having a hole 13 for supporting the pot 11 in a water tank were set to obtain an apparatus set 15 for hydroponic cultivation of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 26 denotes a water tank base. The aerobic microorganism in the above is, for example, 2 g (containing microorganisms and nutrients) per 100 liters of water.

  In the above embodiment, gravel 8 is laid on the bottom 1 a of the water tank 1, water is poured, the support plate 12 is set in the water tank, and the bowl 11 is inserted into the hole 13 of the support plate 12. Next, the water sprinkling pipe 2 is set on the water tank 1 by the support rod 14, and the water sprinkling pipe 2 and the pump 3 are connected by the water feeding pipe 16. Moreover, the water absorption board 4 is laid in one side lower part of the water tank 1, and the one end is connected to the pump 3 by the water absorption pipe 4a. The gravel is 5 kg per bag, for example. It is better to insert ceramic grains (for example, zeolite 4 mm to 6 mm grains) instead of gravel.

  In the said Example, after spraying aerobic microorganisms to gravel, if water is inject | poured into the water tank 1, the hydroponic cultivation apparatus 30 will be completed.

  Although the said Example maintained the amount of dissolved oxygen in water by watering, it can replace with the watering and can perform aeration.

  In this embodiment, the case where aeration is used as the supply of oxygen without using a sprinkler will be described with reference to FIG. An air diffuser 17 is installed on the center bottom of the water tank 1, one end of the air supply pipe 18 is connected to the air diffuser 17, and a compressor 19 is connected to the other end of the air supply pipe 18.

  Then, when the motor 20 is started and the compressor 19 is driven, the pressurized air blows out from the air diffuser 17 through the air supply pipe 18 as indicated by an arrow 21 and rises. Circulating and flowing in the water tank as indicated by arrows 22, 23, and 24, the water in the water tank is convected up and down. Therefore, if it continues for a predetermined time, water with a large amount of dissolved oxygen on the water surface (saturated oxygen amount of water) is stirred and flown in the upper and lower layers of water by up-and-down convection. Become.

  In the above, the air particles blown out from the air diffuser 17 dissolve the oxygen during ascending, and the oxygen-saturated water near the water surface is engulfed to the bottom by the convection of the arrows 21, 22, 23, 24. The amount of dissolved oxygen in the water tank is drastically improved.

  It is sufficient that the aeration is performed intermittently (for example, 6 hours a day). However, if the amount of oxygen used by plants increases in summer and other times, it is necessary to increase the aeration time.

  In the above, when the amount of dissolved oxygen in water increases, aerobic microorganisms propagate effectively and decompose organic matter in the bottom and water, so that the water is kept clean.
