BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a fruit fall prevention device and a fruit fall prevention method . More particularly, fruit can be held independently in pocket member, hardly collide fruit also moves apparatus after holding, preventing fruit drop the fruit can be held so as not to damaged to fall to the ground The present invention relates to a device and a fruit fall prevention method .
[0002]
[Prior art]
In the autumn when fruits such as apples bear fruit and are harvested (fruits), these fruits are often affected by typhoons. The typhoon wind drops fruit that is ripe on the ground and damages it, making it impossible to ship the fruit. In particular, if a typhoon passes before the fruit harvest begins, the damage is serious and serious.
In addition, apples and other fruits are not affected by typhoons, but when they are fully ripe and after a certain period of time, they fall to the ground by themselves, and there is little loss due to dropping off the harvest time. There is.
[0003]
In order to deal with the above-mentioned problems, it is possible to receive the fruits such as apples that have fallen due to the effects of typhoon winds and ripening, so that the fallen fruits can be shipped. What has been proposed is conventionally proposed.
As a general means of such means, there is a “tree fall object collection net” described in JP-A-11-168948, for example.
The net is attached to a hole provided in the central portion through a fruit tree so that the whole is slackened, and the four corners are attached to a column for use. According to this, the fruit which fell from the fruit tree can be received and a fruit can be collected in the place where the net became low.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the conventional net used for preventing fruit fall described in the above publication has the following problems.
That is, when a fruit falls on the inclined part of the net, it moves vigorously toward the lower side while rolling. For this reason, it sometimes collided with the fruits that had already stopped at the lower part of the net and were damaged. Furthermore, when the fruit is held and shaken by blowing in the wind, the fruit moves and collides with each other. For example, it is difficult to obtain a sufficient effect of harvesting the dropped fruit without damaging it.
[0005]
(Object of the present invention)
The object of the present invention is to stop and hold the movement of the fruit when it receives the fallen fruit, and even if it is blown and shaken by the wind after holding it, the fruit will not collide with each other so as not to be damaged. It is intended to provide a fruit fall prevention device and a fruit fall prevention method .

[0009]
The support substrate has essentially rigidity or quasi-rigidity, but may have flexibility when stored as long as it has this property when used.
Further, the support base may be made of a material having flexibility, elasticity, or deformability, or a material (raw material) in order to make it difficult to damage the article. In addition, it can be expected that the effect of preventing damage will be further improved if an elastic body such as a rubber string or an elastic body such as a spring is interposed and supported at a portion to which the support base is attached.
[0010]
As a support base having a partition or opening, in addition to a net (net), for example, a plate body formed of a material having essentially rigidity or semi-rigidity (for example, cardboard, plastic, etc.) or a plurality of holes Or what provided the recessed part is mention | raise | lifted, However, It is not limited to these.
[0011]
The term “sheet” is not strict, and is used as a concept including a film, a nonwoven fabric, a woven fabric, a net cloth, paper, and the like.
The amount of looseness imparted to the sheet-like material or net-like material is appropriately set depending on the type, usage environment, and usage of the article to be held, and is not limited.
For example, if the article can be suspended and held, the article may be a slack amount in which the whole is dropped into openings such as holes, recesses, and meshes, or a slack amount in which a part of the article is dropped. Also good.
[0012]
(Function)
The container device according to the present invention operates as follows.
The container case is provided with a slack on the upper part of the support base, and the article to be held can be suspended from the opening of the support base by a sheet-like object or a net-like object and held by a pocket element (placed in a pocket shape). In this way, the article can be held in a swinging state rather than being fixed.
[0013]
According to this, since a certain amount of impact or the like can be absorbed by the swinging movement of the article, it is not necessary to provide a buffer member or a special buffer device in the container device, and the container device can be made simple and not bulky. Even if the device is shaken or moved by impact while holding the article, the article is held independently, and the suspended article swings in almost the same direction, and the amount of swing is also a sheet-like material. Since it is pulled and restricted by a net-like object, it can be prevented from being damaged by a collision.
[0014]
The container device used as the fruit fall prevention device according to the present invention operates as follows.
The container case is attached below the portion of the fruit tree where the fruit has been fruited, and is attached by a support or the like. When the fruit falls from the fruiting part due to the influence of the typhoon wind or when the fruit is ripe, the fruit hits the support base with a sheet or net in between, and is guided to the part other than the opening of the support base And fall into one of the openings.
At this time, the fruit falls as if it pushes a sheet-like object or a net-like object into the opening by its weight. Note that the fruit may directly enter the opening without hitting the support base.
[0015]
Thereby, since a fruit is settled in the state suspended by the pocket element formed under any opening part, and a movement stops, it can prevent that it collides with another fruit and is damaged.
Also, even if the container is shaken by wind or impact after holding the fruit, the fruit is held independently, and the suspended fruit swings in almost the same direction. Since it is restricted by being pulled by the net-like object, it can be prevented from being damaged by collision.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention will be described in more detail based on embodiments shown in the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective explanatory view showing an embodiment of a fruit fall prevention device according to the present invention,
FIG. 2 is a perspective explanatory view of a support base and a mesh body constituting the fruit fall prevention device shown in FIG.
FIG. 3 is an explanatory side view showing a state in which the fruit is contained in the pocket portion formed of the mesh body of the fruit drop preventing device shown in FIG.
[0017]
The fruit fall prevention device A, which is a container case, includes two container cases N1 and four struts 3 for stretching the container case N1 under the fruiting portion of the fruit tree.
The container N1 includes a support base 1 and a receiving net 2 which are nets. The support base 1 and the receiving net 2 are made of synthetic fibers having excellent weather resistance.
[0018]
The shape of the outer shape of the entire support base 1 is a rectangular shape, and the size of the opening 10 provided in a large number is about 20 cm on one side, and for example, fruit to be held can pass through, such as an apple. It is a size.
The shape and size of the outer shape of the support base 1 and the size of the opening 10 that is a mesh are not particularly limited, and are appropriately set depending on the type of fruit, the size of the orchard, and the like. . Further, as will be described later, the support base 1 has rigidity or quasi-rigidity by tension when stretched under a fruit tree, but is flexible in a normal state.
[0019]
The receiving net 2 is placed on the support base 1 and spread (spread) with a slack (regular or irregular wrinkles or wrinkles) that can hold the fruit suspended from the opening 10. ing. The receiving net 2 is fastened to the support base 1 by a string 21 at an appropriate location (for example, a location where the article can be suspended and held at a length as shown in FIG. 3) and fixed at that portion. It is attached. In addition, this attachment (fixation) structure is not specifically limited, Each well-known means can be employ | adopted.
The outer shape of the entire receiving net 2 is a rectangular shape, and is formed to be slightly larger than the supporting base 1 so that the entire supporting base 1 can be covered in a slack state.
Further, the mesh 20 of the receiving net 2 is fine, and the fruit to be held cannot pass through.
[0020]
As shown in FIG. 1, the two container cases N1 including the support base 1 and the receiving net 2 are positioned so as to sandwich the fruit tree T (for example, apple tree) and below the fruiting portion. Is stretched.
Two corners on the outer side of each container N1 are attached to the upper part of the support column 3, and the inner side edges are bound and joined at appropriate places by the string 11.
[0021]
(Function)
The effect | action of the fruit fall prevention apparatus A which concerns on this Embodiment is demonstrated.
As shown in FIG. 1, the container device N <b> 1 is attached to be positioned below the portion of the fruit tree T where the fruit 4 is fruiting.
When the fruit 4 falls from the fruit set due to the influence of the wind of the typhoon or the fruit 4 ripening, the fruit 4 hits the support base 1 via the receiving net 2 and is guided to a part other than the opening 10 of the support base 1. Falls into one of the openings 10.
At this time, the fruit 4 itself falls into the opening 10 by pushing a part of the receiving net 2 into the opening 10 due to its weight, and the receiving net 2 extends the wrinkles and folds that make slack. Thus, the pocket portion P that is a pocket element is formed below the opening portion 10.
[0022]
As a result, as shown in FIG. 3, the fruit 4 is accommodated in a state of being hung in the pocket portion P formed by the receiving net 2 below any one of the openings 10 and stops moving. In addition, since the receiving net 2 is fixed to the support base 1 by the string 21, the pocket portion P does not hang from the opening 10 longer than necessary or fall so as to reach the ground.
Thus, since the fruit 4 received by falling falls in the pocket portion P and stops moving immediately, it can be prevented from colliding with other fruits and being damaged.
[0023]
Even if the fruit fall prevention device A is shaken by the wind after holding the fruit 4, the fruit 4 is held independently by the pocket portion P, and the suspended fruit 4 swings in the same direction and swings. Since the amount is also restricted by being pulled by the receiving net 2, it is possible to prevent collision and damage to each other.
Further, the container case N1 suspends and holds the article, and can hold the article in a swinging state instead of fixing the article, so that it has a buffering effect, and there is no need to provide a buffer member or a special buffer device. Accordingly, the container device N1 can be a simple structure without being bulky.
[0024]
Note that the terms and expressions used in the present specification are merely explanatory and not restrictive, and do not exclude terms and expressions equivalent to the above terms and expressions. The present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the technical idea.
