DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a member used for assembling a bench cultivation apparatus for cultivating plants such as flowers, strawberries and vegetables on a cultivation shelf.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 5, for example, passages a and cultivation shelves b are alternately arranged in a house, and a pot or the like in which flowers or vegetable seeds or seedlings are planted is placed on a cart. And placed on the cultivation shelf b while going back and forth in the passage a.

When harvesting flowers and vegetables, the trolley is moved to the passage a, while the pots and the like of the flowers and fruits and vegetables grown from the cultivation shelf b are picked up and transferred to the trolley. There was a point.

[0004] Space is not provided in the passage, and the cultivation area cannot be expanded. Since the passage portion becomes a dead space, the yield per unit area of the house cannot be improved. Moving while pushing a trolley can be quite hard work. Especially for older workers, the work efficiency is reduced.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the problems described in the prior art.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a member for a bench cultivation apparatus capable of reducing dead space and reducing labor of an operator.

[0006]

A member for a bench cultivation apparatus according to the present invention has a track protruding above the left and right side surfaces in the longitudinal direction of a gantry, and has a lateral width obtained by adding a passage width to the lateral width of the gantry. Cultivation shelf, a first member mounted on the gantry so as to be movable in the left-right direction, and a left and right upper side of a unicycle equipped with a loading platform, on the track, a second member provided with a rotating roller. It is characterized by consisting of.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a member for a bench cultivation apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. Tracks 2 and 2 are protruded above right and left side surfaces. It is to be noted that the height of the gantry 1 is suitably about the waist position of the worker in consideration of workability.

The tracks 2, 2 are formed by fixing a steel plate or the like to beams on the left and right sides in the longitudinal direction of the gantry 1 by welding or the like, and projecting therefrom. The length of the gantry 1 is usually about several tens to one hundred meters. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 6 denotes rollers provided on the gantry 1, and a plurality of rollers are provided at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction. Although illustration is omitted, instead of the rollers 6, a pipe may be laid on the gantry 1 to substitute the rollers.

As shown in FIG. 1, a cultivation shelf 3 having a width W obtained by adding a passage width d to the width D of the gantry 1 is mounted on the gantry 1 as shown in FIG.
The first member A is configured by being mounted on the gantry 1 so as to be movable in the left-right direction by being placed on the rollers 6.

The cultivation shelf 3 is provided with a wire mesh 7 at the bottom.
A water-absorbing sponge-like member (not shown) is laid thereon, and a flower or vegetable pot or the like is placed thereon. The sponge-like member grows with moisture and nutrients supplied from the sponge-like member. .

As shown in FIG. 2, the second member B is provided with rollers 5, 5, 5, 5, which are mounted on the tracks 2, 2 and rotate above the left and right side surfaces of the unicycle 4 having a loading platform. It has a configuration provided.

When the unicycle 4 is pushed into the passageway of the house, the rollers 5, 5, 5, 5 are designed to ride on the tracks 2, 2 smoothly.

In practice, the tracks 2 ', 2' are mounted on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the house at the same level as the tracks 2, 2 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, for example, as shown in FIG. , Passage, first member A, passage, first member A, passage.

First, as shown in FIG. 3, the cultivation shelves 3 loaded on the gantry 1 are first moved to the left and opened so that only the rightmost passage can be passed. Therefore, each cultivation shelf 3 moves to the left, and is in a state of blocking the central passage and the leftmost passage.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the unicycle 4 loaded with pots or the like in which flowers, vegetables, etc. are planted is guided to the rightmost passage, and the rollers 5, 5, 5, 5 of the unicycle 4 are guided. Are placed on the tracks 2 and 2 ′, and the pots and the like are lowered onto the left cultivation shelf 3 while moving the second member B from the near side to the far side in the rightmost passage.

When the second member B passes through the rightmost passage and reaches the other side, as shown in FIG. 4, the second member B is turned around and guided to the central passage, and the central passage is changed. Is moved to the rightmost passage, the central passage is opened, and while the second member B is moved from the back to the front, the pots and the like are cultivated on both sides of the central passage. Lower it on shelf 3. The same procedure as described below is repeated, and the pots and the like are lowered onto each cultivation shelf.

When collecting the grown flowers and vegetables, the pots of the grown flowers and vegetables from the respective cultivation shelves 3 are picked up in the same procedure as described above, and the picked-up table is placed on the loading platform of the unicycle 4 of the second member B. They move on board.

Further, the second member B of the present invention can be applied to a fixed bench 8 as shown in FIG. 6 and a strawberry elevated bench 9 as shown in FIG.

[0019]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. Only one passage can be opened and the other passages can be closed, so the passage does not become dead space,
Since the cultivation area can be expanded, the cultivation area per unit area of the house can be increased, and the yield can be increased. The unicycle rides on the track and moves on the track, so it can be moved with a small force, saving labor,
Work efficiency is improved. Since the second member is made of a unicycle, the direction can be easily changed even in a narrow space, and the space in front of and behind the house can be saved. Since it is made of a combination of a unicycle and rollers, it can be easily moved to an adjacent passage, so that the number of vehicles is small.
