  In general, in plant production, the ideal ambient temperature differs greatly between germination and the subsequent growth stages. However, since the above-mentioned multistage shelf for plant production has no temperature control function in itself, it is necessary to provide a dedicated air conditioning room or a dedicated factory for each of the stages until germination and the subsequent growth stages. . Therefore, a relatively large space is required for installing a plant factory, and a large amount of equipment costs are required. In addition, it takes time and labor to transport the germinated material from the germination room to the growth room. Therefore, plants cannot be produced consistently from sowing to the growth stage after germination.

  Also in the cultivation apparatus described in Patent Document 1, the cultivation room for managing the growth stage after germination and the germination / nurturing apparatus for managing from sowing to germination are installed separately. As a result, a space for cultivation and a space for germination and raising seedlings are added to the site of the plant factory, so that a relatively large space has to be required. In addition, plants that have sprouted from plate seeds need to be transported from the germination / seedling device provided in the germination / nurturing space to the growth room provided in the cultivation space, and therefore require a lot of labor and labor for cultivation. . In addition, since the production room and the maintenance cost are added to the cultivation room of the cultivation space and the germination / nurturing apparatus of the germination / nurturing space, respectively, there is a disadvantage that a large amount of equipment costs are required.

  Therefore, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and by performing germination and seedling management from sowing to germination and subsequent cultivation management in one air-conditioned room, it is consistent from sowing to harvesting. This makes it possible to produce plants in a single air-conditioned room, requiring little labor for transporting germinated materials, and can be installed in relatively small places, making equipment costs low. The purpose is to provide multi-stage shelves for plant production that can be managed in a practical manner.

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the first means in the present invention is to cultivate a plant after germination in a plant production multistage shelf arranged in a plant factory where temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration, and artificial light source are managed. A tank for storing a culture solution to be supplied to the growth shelf 1 and a pump for supplying the culture solution to the growth shelf 1. And a germination / nurturing space S surrounded by the left and right side plates 3 and the rear back plate 4 to form the germination / nurturing space S, and for the germination / germination / nurturing Temperature control for controlling the number of revolutions by opening and closing the front window 5 that keeps the temperature of the space S at the optimum temperature for germination, or when the temperature of the germination / nurturing space S is higher than the set temperature, and stops when the temperature is lower than the set temperature. With either or both fans 7 for germination There is that which is provided to manage up to cultivation after germination.

  The second means is composed of the opening / closing cylinder 6 that reacts to the air temperature in the germination / nurturing space S and the front window 5 that is opened and closed by the opening / closing cylinder 6 in the germination / nurturing space S. The front window opening / closing control system 20 is provided.

  In the third means, the use of the front window opening / closing control system 20 and the temperature control fan 7 in the germination / nurturing space S is a means for solving the problem.

  Therefore, according to the present invention, in the germination / nurturing space S used in the stage until germination, the left and right sides are surrounded by the side plate 3 and the rear side is surrounded by the back plate 4, so that the illumination heat is accumulated and the ambient temperature is high. It becomes easy to reach an ideal temperature at the stage until germination.

  In addition, since the space between the lowermost stage of the growth shelf 1 and the floor, which is a dead space in the past, is used as the germination / nurturing space S used for the stage until germination, a limited space in the air-conditioned room is used. Plant production is possible with maximum use.

  In addition, the air permeability of the germination / nurturing space S is adjusted by operating the temperature control fan 7 according to the ambient temperature, and the optimum ambient temperature is automatically maintained until germination.

  By the front window opening / closing control system 20 according to claim 2, the germination / nurturing space S used in the stage until germination is adjusted by the front window 5 to open and close according to the ambient temperature. At this stage, the optimum atmospheric temperature is automatically maintained. The front window 5 can be opened and closed as required by the user, such as when putting in and out plants and during maintenance.

  Furthermore, according to the third aspect, the front window opening / closing control system 20 and the temperature control fan 7 are used together, whereby the temperature control of the germination / nurturing space S can be performed more efficiently.

  In this way, according to the present invention, by performing germination and seedling management from sowing to germination and subsequent cultivation management in one air-conditioned room at the same time, one air-conditioned room is consistent from sowing to harvesting. This makes it possible to produce plants at low cost, requiring little labor for transporting germinated materials, and can be installed in relatively small places, making it possible to rationally manage cultivation such as low equipment costs. Realized the original purpose of becoming.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The plant production multistage shelf of the present invention is arranged in a plant factory in which temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration, and artificial light source are managed. And this plant production multistage shelf is comprised by the multistage growth shelf 1 which grows the plant 2 after germination, and the space S for germination and raising seedlings maintained at the optimal temperature for the plant 10 from a board | substrate seed to germination. (See FIG. 1).

  Each of the growth shelves is provided with a lighting device 2, which is optimal for the light management for cultivating the plant 9 after germination and the plant 10 from sowing to germination in the space S for germination and seedling described later. Light management is performed at the same time.

  The germination / nurturing space S is a space surrounded by one of the growth shelves 1 with left and right side plates 3 and a back plate 4 on the back (see FIG. 2). This germination / nurturing space S is configured to maintain an optimum temperature for germination, and includes, for example, a front window opening / closing control system 20 (see FIG. 3), a temperature control fan 7, and the like (see FIG. 4), management from germination to cultivation after germination.

  The front window opening / closing control system 20 includes an opening / closing cylinder 6 that reacts to the temperature in the germination / nurturing space S and the front window 5 that is opened and closed by the opening / closing cylinder 6. The opening / closing cylinder 6 opens and closes the front window 5 and operates the cylinder 6 so that the ambient temperature is automatically maintained at a desired value. It is also possible to provide an electric control system capable of operating the cylinder 6 as required by the user.

  Thereby, in the part used before germination, for example, the front window 5 opens when the temperature in the germination / nurturing space S increases, and conversely, the front window 5 operates to close when the temperature decreases. The opening and closing of the front window 5 is controlled, and as a result, the temperature in the germination / nurturing space S is automatically maintained at the set temperature. Further, for example, the cylinder 6 can be operated by a push button or the like, and the front window 5 can be opened and closed as required by the user, such as when putting in and out of a plant and during maintenance.

  The temperature control fan 7 rotates when the temperature of the germination / nurturing space S becomes higher than the set temperature, stops when the temperature becomes lower than the set temperature, and controls the number of rotations, and forms the germination / nurturing space S. It is provided on the back plate 4. Therefore, when the front window 5 is not attached to the germination / nurturing space S (see FIG. 4), the temperature control fan 7 forcibly takes outside air into the germination / nurturing space S. (See FIG. 5). Because of the rotation speed

  On the other hand, in a state where the front window 5 is mounted in the germination / nurturing space S (see FIG. 6), the opening and closing of the front window 5 and the operation of the temperature control fan 7 are combined to achieve a more efficient temperature. Adjustment is possible (see FIG. 7).

  A cultivation device 8 is installed between the bottom of the growth shelf 1 and the floor surface. This cultivation apparatus 8 is composed of a tank of a culture solution for plant cultivation after germination and a pump for supplying the culture solution, and is usually at a position that does not hinder the cultivation, that is, the bottom and floor of the growth shelf 1. It is installed between the surfaces. However, the space between the lowermost stage of the growth shelf 1 and the floor surface is in a state where the space still remains even when the cultivation apparatus 8 is installed, so the germination / nurturing space S is used as the lowermost stage of the growth shelf 1. By installing the cultivation apparatus 8 and the germination / nurturing space S together, the space can be saved.

  The present invention is not limited to the illustrated example, and each configuration such as the front window opening / closing control system 20 and the temperature control fan 7 of the present invention can be freely changed without departing from the scope of the present invention. . In addition, the shape and number of stages of the growth shelf 1 and the installation position of the germination / nurturing space S can be arbitrarily set.
