Description

  The present invention relates to a cultivating container for moss that is conveniently used for artificial cultivation such as shiitake mushrooms in a cultivation building.

  In the artificial cultivation of mushrooms such as shiitake mushrooms, a large-scale capital investment is made by constructing a cultivation building equipped with air conditioning equipment capable of managing temperature, humidity, etc., and installing a shelf in it. For cultivation, arranging the block-shaped fungal bed as a medium inoculated with the inoculum on the shelf, managing the temperature and humidity in the building, watering, turning the fungus bed upside down, measuring the weight of the fungus bed, By aging the fungus bed over a long period of time, it will germinate and grow to a size that allows it to be harvested. The shelves are generally assembled horizontally in several stages, such as angles and pipes, and a large number of shelves are arranged with a passage in one building.

  As for the fungal bed, in the case of shiitake mushrooms, a hardwood inoculated into a broad-leaved tree such as konara, sakura or kunugi may be used. A fungal bed, which can be called an artificial bed made of hardwood sawdust, supplemented with nutrients and kneaded into a block with water, is now widely used. It is usually shaped like a short cylinder or square dice that looks like a round of wood. In addition, other moss such as enoki mushrooms and shimeji mushrooms are cultivated with a fungus bed packed in a bottle. The present invention can also be applied to bottled cases.

  In any case, in conventional artificial cultivation of moss, in addition to the highly heat-insulating cultivation building that is expensive to construct, the capital investment for air conditioning equipment and cultivation shelves is significant, and the shelves are fixed. The surplus area for harvesting work and other work is indispensable, and the maturation period until inoculation with the inoculum on the fungus bed is 5-6 months for shiitake mushrooms. This leads to high costs for artificial cultivation. In addition, since the fungus beds in any place are not aged at the same time, individual management may be required, but it is not easy if they are arranged on a fixed shelf.

  In view of the above situation, the present invention increases the cultivation area of moss in the cultivation ridge, and also improves workability, is suitable for individual management, and can reduce the production cost. The issue was to provide cultivation containers.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the first invention forms a vertical frame that connects the lower frame as the bottom surface part and the upper frame as the upper surface part at the four corners so that the six surfaces are wide open. A container body, a bottom net on which the fungus bed is placed, and at least a pair of hooks erected on the left and right sides to stop the bottom net. The bottom net movable type is characterized in that the air holes are provided in several stages, and at both the left and right ends, the suspension rods can be adjusted in several stages by passing through the ventilation holes in the front and rear vertical frames. A container for cultivation of moss.

In addition, the second invention is formed by integrally forming a rectangular parallelepiped with plastic, and a vertical frame that connects both at the four corners between the lower frame serving as the bottom surface portion of the lower end of the rectangular parallelepiped and the upper frame serving as the upper surface portion. A bottom net-fixing type cultivated container for moss, which is formed and has a bottom net on which the five surfaces other than the bottom are wide open and a bottom net on which the fungus bed is placed is integrally formed in the framework. It is to provide.

  Since the invention of the present application is configured as described above, it is basically stacked on a cart with casters, used in the passage between the shelves in the cultivation building, and maintained from a wide opening, sprinkling water, top and bottom The bacteria bed is aged while performing operations such as returning, water immersion treatment, and bacteria bed weight measurement, and thereafter, work such as harvesting is performed. Even if they are stacked, the air permeability is good on the six sides of the container. In the first invention, combined with the presence of the vents in the vertical frame, the temperature, humidity, and carbonic acid as the air conditioner in the cultivation building The influence of adjustments such as gas concentration and brightness can be satisfactorily received without any inconvenience. In the invention of the present application, the management of the medium alone can be easily performed by the wide upper surface and the wide opening on each side surface, and further by the movement of the container. In addition, during harvesting, management, and other operations, individual management that changes the position, the direction of the carriage or the container as necessary is facilitated.

  In shiitake cultivation, factors such as temperature, wind, oxygen, water, and light are important. Light can be taken from the hole in the container body. Further, by making the container material colorless and transparent plastic, it becomes possible to secure a further illuminance.

  Furthermore, if it is a bottom net movable type (Claim 1), the height of the bottom net can be selected in several stages by hanging on the hanging rod by using the vent hole opened in the vertical frame. Therefore, the height of the bottom mesh can be adjusted as appropriate so that it can be easily affected by air conditioning and can be easily operated.

  As described above, according to the cultivation container for moss of the present invention, in the cultivation building, it can be favorably influenced by the air conditioning equipment from the wide air permeability on the six sides, and from the wide opening on the four sides. Since maintenance can efficiently perform operations such as watering and harvesting, not only can empty spaces such as passages between shelves be added to the cultivation area without inconvenience, but also the shortcomings of fixed shelves are compensated. Individual management for each medium and individual management for each carriage can be easily performed. And since the operation rate of the cultivation ridge where great capital investment is made becomes good, it is suitable for reducing the production cost of moss. Moreover, the effect of the aging and germination promotion of the fungus bed by the influence of vibration during movement can be expected.

  According to the invention of claim 1, since the height of the bottom net can be selected and used according to the environment of the empty space, harvesting, management, and other operations are further facilitated reasonably.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  1 to 4 show an embodiment of a bottom net movable type, and the cultivation container Pa for the moss includes a container body 1, a bottom net 3 on which a fungus bed 2 is placed, and a bottom net 3. It consists of a pair of left and right retaining rods 5 and 5 to be supported.

  The container body 1 is integrally formed of plastic, and includes a lower frame 7 as a bottom surface and an upper frame 8 as an upper surface, each formed in a rectangular shape, and the lower frame 7 and the upper frame 8. Between them, vertical frames 9, 9, 9, 9 are provided at the respective corners, and therefore, each of the six surfaces is greatly opened with good ventilation. The four frames of the lower frame 7, the four frames of the upper frame 8, and the vertical frames 9, 9, 9, 9 are each formed in a rib shape having an L-shaped cross section so as to withstand stacking.

Since the container body 1 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, it can be stacked, but in order to obtain stacking stability, it can be fitted to the inner peripheral edge of the lower frame 7 and the inner opening edge 8a of the upper frame 8. An engagement piece 12 is provided vertically. Further, each vertical frame 9 is provided with vent holes 11, 11,... That pass through the front and rear in several steps at equal intervals, and a large number of vent holes 13, 13,.・ It is arranged.

  The hooks 5 and 5 are respectively inserted into one of the ventilation holes 11, 11,. It is latched in the position. 1, 2, and 3 show a case in which the hooks 5 and 5 are passed through the lowest vents 11 and 11, and the bottom net 3 serves as the bottom of the container body 1. Bacteria beds 2, 2, ... are placed.

  However, as shown by the two-dot chain line arrow in FIG. 1, for example, if the hooks 5 and 5 are passed through the second stage from the top, the bottom net 3 is provided for raising the bottom. At the height of the bottom net 3, the fungus bed 2 is close to the upper framework 8, so that the fungus bed 2 can be easily taken in and out from a wide opening of the upper framework 8, The height of manual work that is convenient for watering can be obtained.

  When using the cultivation container Pa of the above-mentioned moss, the bottom net 3 is hung on the hanging hooks 5 and 5 previously laid on the left and right, and the fungus bed 2, 2,. , Stacked on the carriage 10. In this state, if the trolley 10 is left in the vacant place in the cultivation building, that is, where there is no shelf, or it is piled down from the trolley 10 and stacked, the vent holes 11 and 13 are added to the shape that the six sides are wide open. Therefore, coupled with the ease of management work, the fungus bed 2 can be satisfactorily matured under the influence of the air conditioning equipment in the cultivation building, and the germination period can be smoothly reached. Further, as a means for stopping the bacteria bed 2 from falling over when moving with the carriage 10, the support convex pin 14 (FIGS. 3 and 4) or the insertion pin 18 (FIG. 8) is used. Among them, the support convex pins 14 are provided with a plastic head 14 a, and at least three (four in the drawing) are used by being attached to the bottom net 3 while being brought close to the periphery of the bacteria bed 2.

  FIG. 5 shows another embodiment. In the case of the above-mentioned cultivating container Pa for moss, the upper frame 8 has an inner cocoon shape, whereas the cultivating container Pb for the moss has an upper part. The frame 8 is formed as a container body 1 having an outer casing shape, so that the upper surface has a wider opening. An engagement piece 12 is formed on the lower frame 7 so as to fit into the opening of the upper frame 8.

  FIG. 6 shows still another embodiment, and the cultivation container Pc of the moss has hollow column portions 15, 15, hollow columns 9, 9, 9, 9 in the container body 1. 15 and 15 are formed to make it easy to withstand the load when stacked. In addition, a protrusion 17 that can be fitted to the upper end is formed at the lower end of the support column 15 so that the stacking stability can be obtained. In addition, notches 19 are provided at the four corners of the bottom net 3 so as not to be held by the support column 15.

  FIGS. 7 and 8 show an embodiment of the bottom net-fixed moss cultivation container Q. According to this, as in the case of the embodiment, the lower frame 7 and the upper frame 8 Four vertical corner frames 9, 9, 9, 9 are provided between them, but the bottom mesh 4 is formed by integral molding of plastic. In addition, although the shape of a container becomes various, in this embodiment, it was set as the shape similar to the shape of the container main body 1 of the cultivation container Pb of the moss of FIG.

  Also in this case, the fungus bed 2 can be supported by the support convex pins 14 (see FIGS. 3 and 4), but in FIG. 8, an insertion pin 18 such as a toothpick is inserted into the fungus bed 2 from below and is attached to the bottom. The case where it inserted in the net | network 4 and the microbial bed 2 was supported was shown.

  The shape of the insertion pin may be a bowl-shaped insertion pin (18a in FIG. 9). Shiitake cultivation includes hydration methods such as an upper sprinkler that installs a sprinkler on the ceiling and replenishes water, and a fungus bed submerged that replenishes hydration by periodically submersing the fungus bed itself in the bathtub. In the submerged type, processing such as placing a lid on the bathtub and placing a weight is necessary, and it takes time and effort to transfer the fungus bed. A bowl-shaped insertion pin is effective for this submerged type. This is because the buoyancy of the fungus bed can be suppressed when the container main body is submerged.

  If the fungus bed 2 is fixed by the insertion pins 18 and the support convex pins 14 in this way, the carriage 10 can be safely moved so that they do not fall over or shift. In addition, the vibration generated at that time is transmitted to the fungus bed 2, and the fungus bed 2 itself vibrates, so that the maturation of the fungus bed 2 is promoted by the vibration, and the germination time can be advanced. It has been found that the growth of rice is also improved. Further, in the wide cart 10, the stacking may be arranged in parallel. In such a case, the stacking stability can be obtained by connecting both the stacking through the vent holes 11, 11 through bolts or the like.
