DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, a growth container such as a long rod according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.
As shown in these drawings, the long-gutter growing container 10 is configured in a rice field shape in plan view by assembling six surface components 11A, 11B, 11C, 11D, 11E, and 11F having the same shape. . Specifically, each of the surface component parts 11A, 11B, 11C, 11D, 11E, and 11F forms a quadrangular prism body by abutting (engaging) the engagement pieces 12 and 13 with each other, and the periphery thereof is coupled. By encircling and coupling with the band 14, four growing spaces 15A, 15B, 15C, 15D are defined in a square shape. As will be described later, soil, seed pods, and the like are introduced into each of the growing spaces 15A, 15B, 15C, and 15D, and long pods are cultivated by periodically supplying water. In order to wind a vine extending along with the growth of the long rod, poles 16 having a predetermined length are respectively fixed and erected at the four corners of the outer wall of the growth vessel 10.
As shown in FIG. 2, the surface components 11A, 11B, 11C, 11D, 11E, and 11F have two plane portions 17A and 17B that intersect at an angle of about 90 degrees, and the plane portions 17A and 17B are It is composed of a rectangular plate. A rail-like engagement piece 12 is formed at the end of one planar portion 17A and protrudes at a right angle therefrom and is bent into an L shape. In addition, rail-like engagement pieces 13 that are bent at a right angle from the plane portion 17B and project by a predetermined length are formed at the end portions of the other plane portion 17B. A predetermined recess (engagement bent portion) 18 is formed at the intersection of the plane portions 17A and 17B. By engaging the recesses 18 with each other back to back, the quadrangular columnar body (growth space 15A) and the quadrangular columnar body (growth space 15B) are arranged in a state where each diagonal line is a straight line. This straight line is a diagonal line of the rice vessel-shaped growth vessel 10. Surface component parts 11E and 11F are arranged on the diagonal line orthogonal to the diagonal line, and the remaining two growing spaces 15C and 15D are defined.
[0011]
Therefore, in a state where the above-mentioned square pillars (the square pillars made of 11A and 11B and the square pillars made of 11C and 11D) are erected on the tray or the sheet, the two are arranged adjacent to each other diagonally. In addition to the arrangement, two component parts 11E and 11F are arranged along a diagonal perpendicular to the diagonal. As a result, as a whole, four long wall growing spaces 15A, 15B, 15C, 15D are defined and erected on the tray in the shape of rice fields. This place is also suitable for apartment verandas, indoors, outdoors and rooftops. In particular, when only 1 to 3 units of the rice-shaped cultivation container 10 are connected, an outdoor garden, a part of a parking lot, and the like are appropriate installation locations.
Then, a predetermined amount of soil is put into these spaces 15A to 15D, and the long seed buds are buried in the soil. By supplying water regularly, Nagatoro grows. The long vines that accompany the growth are wound around the poles 16 at the four corners.
In this case, since a required amount of soil is charged, the cultivation container 10 has a considerable weight and does not fall down, and is stable as a container.
At this time, household garbage may be put in the soil. The garbage in this case is covered with soil. That is, the cultivation container 10 of the long bean can be used as a garbage disposal apparatus. In addition, since the bottom is a tray and is separated from the cultivation container even for a large amount of water supply, it has a high drainage and can cope with it sufficiently. Root rot can be prevented.
[0012]
Then, when the long bean grows sufficiently, the bonding band 14 is removed, and the outer surface components 11A, 11C, 11E, and 11F are sequentially removed, so that the side surfaces of the soil blocks in the four growth containers appear. By excavating Nagatoro from this soil, it is easy to harvest it with bare hands. Further, by removing only the surface component at an arbitrary position, it is possible to dig out a long wall only for the block. For example, in the case where the growth of the excavated gutter is slow (small), the harvesting time is delayed for the other blocks without peeling off the surface components.
[0013]
3-6, the contact | abutting and connection part of the surface components in the cultivation container 10 which consists of this square pillar body is shown. As shown in these drawings, when the engagement pieces of the three component parts are engaged with each other, the engagement pieces of the two component parts are brought into contact with each other with one engagement piece interposed therebetween. As a result, the three engagement pieces are fixed and connected to each other. The width and thickness of the engagement piece are arbitrary.
[0014]
Next, FIG. 7 to FIG. 10 show other embodiments of a growth container such as a long cage according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the shape of the recess 21 as the engagement bent portion is changed from that of the above embodiment. Since the recess 21 is recessed by a predetermined length on one side 22 of the plane portion, various variations can be produced in the engagement relationship as shown in each drawing. FIG. 8 shows a case where the cross-sectional areas of the four growing spaces are substantially equal. FIG. 9 shows a case where the recesses 21 are in a non-contact state, that is, a case where they are outside. FIG. 10 shows a case where the recesses 21 are overlapped with each other. In this case, a difference occurs in the cross-sectional areas of the four growing spaces. The large growing spaces 23 and 23 and the small growing spaces 24 and 24. In these cases, the engagement pieces are brought into contact with each other and fixed with a band, as in the case of the above-described embodiment. It should be noted that the fixing with the band is not limited to one, and it is also conceivable to couple at two points depending on the height. The band strength can be increased by fixing the band. It can be fixed with a wire or string instead of the band.
[0015]
Moreover, the said surface component can make the crossing part (bending part) of two plane parts variable to arbitrary angles. For example, the intersecting portion (connecting portion) is formed of a thin material compared to the plane portion. Flexibility is imparted, and for example, it is possible to cope with an arbitrary shape such as a rhombus in plan view.
In addition, any of the surface components shown in the above embodiments can be formed as a plastic molded product. This is because it is suitable for mass production .
Various coupling means can be considered in place of the above-mentioned coupling band. For example, it is a method of inserting a pin into a hole formed in the engagement piece and coupling it.
[0016]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a growing container such as a long bamboo basket that can be cultivated on the ground such as a veranda instead of being cultivated underground such as a field, and the container itself is suitable for mass production. When the component is a resin molded product, it can be manufactured at a lower cost. Further, the component container can be expanded in a flat shape without any gap. Moreover, it can respond to an installation space of an arbitrary size. For example, it can correspond to a rooftop, a garden, etc. from a veranda. Of course, disassembly, maintenance, and management such as removal are easy. It can easily cope with damage (repair, etc.) of one part. Furthermore, the installation of the tray prevents the root of the long wall from extending into the ground. It is very easy to cultivate and cultivate long bamboo shoots. This container can also be used for processing garbage.
