Description

  The present invention belongs to a technical field related to vegetable cultivation for growing and harvesting vegetables that can be repeatedly harvested in an environment with restrictions on sunlight such as the vicinity of a structure.

  Some vegetables that are cultivated in an environment with limited eyesight are classified as negative vegetables and half-negative vegetables because of their sunshine characteristics. However, it is said that some sunshine is necessary for these negative and half-negative vegetables. Incidentally, it is said that it is 1-2 hours / day for negative vegetables and 3-4 hours / day for half-negative vegetables.

  When growing vegetables in a sunshine-limited environment, differences in sunshine in the cultivated area are likely to occur when the cultivated area reaches a certain scale, and there is a slight difference in the sunshine that is originally restricted. It will make an extreme difference. Especially for vegetables that can be repeatedly harvested (multiple harvests in one year), the yield is greatly reduced due to growth differences.

  For this reason, in the cultivation of vegetables that can be repeatedly harvested in a sunshine-limited environment, there is a demand for the development of a technique that can eliminate the difference in sunshine in cultivation areas having a certain scale.

  Conventionally, for example, a technique described in Patent Document 1 is known as a technique that meets the above-described demand.

  Patent Document 1 describes a technique in which a cultivation area is divided into a plurality of pieces and is rotatably supported in a Ferris wheel type.

  The technique which concerns on patent document 1 is going to eliminate the difference of the whole sunlight of a cultivation land by sending the divided cultivation land to the position where sunlight is favorable sequentially by rotation.

  Utility Model Registration No. 3134137

  The technique according to Patent Document 1 has a problem that the scale of the apparatus is increased because a support leg structure and a rotation drive mechanism must be provided for the divided cultivation land. Moreover, since the divided cultivation land is configured as a Ferris wheel type, there is a problem that it can be performed only in a place where a certain level of facility height is secured.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of such problems, and for planting vegetables that can be repeatedly harvested in an environment where sunlight is limited, the equipment height is low without increasing the scale of the apparatus. It is an object of the present invention to provide a vegetable cultivation method that can be carried out even in a place that can only be secured, and a vegetable cultivation facility that is suitable for carrying out this vegetable cultivation method.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the vegetable cultivation method according to the present invention employs the means described in claims 1 and 2 of the claims.

  That is, in claim 1, a disc-shaped cultivated land is horizontally installed to grow vegetables that can be repeatedly harvested, and after the vegetables grown in the half of the cultivated land on the sunshine front side are harvested, Rotate around the center point to position the vegetables grown in the rear half of the cultivation area on the sunshine front side.

  In this method, the vegetables that can be repeatedly harvested that are cultivated in the half of the pre-sunshine side of the disc-shaped cultivation area are harvested, and the cultivating area is rotated for each harvest, and the sunshine front side and the sunshine rear side of the cultivation area. By replacing, the difference in the overall sunshine of the cultivation area is eliminated through at least two harvest periods.

  Moreover, in Claim 2, in the vegetable cultivation method of Claim 1, when harvesting the vegetable grown by the half part of the sunshine front side, a cultivation place is slid to the sunshine front side.

  In this means, the cultivated land is slid to the front side of the sunshine when the vegetables are harvested, so that the cultivated land is slid to a relatively wide open position on the side with less sunshine restrictions.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned subject, the vegetable cultivation equipment concerning the present invention adopts the means according to claims 3 to 6 in the claims.

  That is, in claim 3, a disc-shaped cultivation place where vegetables that can be repeatedly harvested are grown, and a rotary receiver that supports the cultivation place so that the cultivation place is installed horizontally and can be manually rotated about the center point of the disk. And a seat.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the vegetable cultivation facility according to the third aspect, the rotary seat is supported so that the cultivation place can be slid in the sunshine front-rear direction.

  In this means, a structure for sliding the cultivation land on the rotary seat is provided, so that a disc-shaped slide of the cultivation area can be configured with a simple structure.

  Further, according to claim 5, in the vegetable cultivation facility according to claim 4, the rotary seat is provided with a stopper for regulating the slide limit of the cultivation area.

  In this means, the stopper for restricting the slide limit of the cultivation land is provided in the rotation seat, thereby preventing the cultivation land from dropping out of the rotation seat and the instability of the posture on the rotation seat.

  Moreover, in Claim 6, in the vegetable cultivation equipment in any one of Claims 3-5, when the cultivation place rotates manually, the handle with which a hand is hung is provided.

  With this means, the handle can be provided on the cultivated land, so that the manual rotation of the cultivated land can be easily and reliably performed.

  The vegetable cultivation method according to the present invention is to harvest vegetables that can be repeatedly harvested and grown in the half of the sunshine front side of the disc-shaped cultivation area, and rotate the cultivation area for each harvest to produce sunlight in the cultivation area. By replacing the front side and the rear side of the sunshine, the difference in the overall sunshine of the cultivated land is eliminated through at least two harvesting periods, so no support leg structure or rotational drive mechanism is required for the cultivated land The effect of being able to carry out the cultivation of vegetables that can be repeatedly harvested in an environment where the height is high and the sunlight is limited, even in places where only a low facility height can be secured without increasing the scale of the equipment There is.

  In addition, as claimed in claim 2, in order to slide the cultivated land to a relatively wide open position, which is a side with less sunshine restrictions, by sliding the cultivated land to the sunshine front side at the time of harvesting the vegetables, Harvesting can be easily performed.

  Furthermore, the vegetable cultivation facility according to the present invention includes a cultivation area and a rotating seat, and thus can manually rotate the disk-shaped cultivation area with a simple structure. There is an effect that is suitable for carrying out the method.

  Moreover, since the structure which slides a cultivation place on a rotation seat is provided as Claim 4, since the slide of a disk shaped cultivation place can be comprised with a simple structure, the structure which slides a cultivation place is provided. There is an effect suitable for carrying out the vegetable cultivation method concerning the present invention.

  Hereinafter, the form for enforcing the vegetable cultivation method and vegetable cultivation equipment concerning the present invention is explained based on a drawing.

  FIGS. 1-6 shows the 1st example of the form for implementing the vegetable cultivation method and vegetable cultivation equipment which concern on this invention.

  The 1st example has shown what is applied to cultivation of "Nira" which is a perennial of the genus Liliaceae as the vegetable V which can be repeatedly harvested. Moreover, the installation surface 30 covered with the solar cell module 20 inclined and supported by the support leg 10 is shown as an environment with restrictions on sunlight.

  First, the structure of the form for implementing the vegetable cultivation equipment which concerns on this invention is demonstrated.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first example includes a cultivation area 1, a rotation seat 2, and an installation table 3.

  As shown in FIG. 1A, the cultivated land 1 is formed in a disk shape by a side wall portion 11, a bottom portion 12, a handle 13, and a culture soil 14. The side wall portion 11 is made of a cylindrical body having a short axial length, and has a diameter of 250 cm and an axial length (depth) of 20 cm, for example. The bottom portion 12 is a ring plate (donut plate) whose outer diameter matches the outer diameter of the side wall portion 11 and whose inner diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the side wall portion 11, and is fixed to the lower end of the side wall portion 11 coaxially. , And a mesh plate 12b which is a drain hole stretched on the bottom frame 12. The handle 13 is composed of small pieces fixed to the upper part of the outer peripheral surface of the side wall portion 11, and a plurality of the handles 13 are arranged at radial positions so as to be easily handled when the cultivated land 1 is rotated. The cultivating soil 14 is made of cultivated soil, humus soil, or the like, and is accommodated in a space surrounded by the side wall portion 11 and the bottom portion 12.

  As shown in FIG. 1A, the rotation seat 2 includes a side wall portion 21 and a bottom portion 22. The side wall 21 is made of a cylindrical body having a short axial length (shorter than the axial length of the side wall 11 of the cultivated land 1), and has an outer diameter larger than the outer diameter of the side wall 11 of the cultivated land 1. It almost coincides with the outer diameter of the side wall 11 of the ground 1 (has a minute gap). The bottom portion 22 has a ring plate (donut plate) shape whose outer diameter matches the outer diameter of the side wall portion 21 and whose inner diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the side wall portion 21 and matches the inner diameter of the bottom frame 12a of the bottom portion 12 of the cultivated land 1. It is fixed to the lower end opening of the side wall part 21 coaxially.

  As shown in FIG. 1 (B), the cultivated land 1 and the rotation seat 2 are rotated by fitting the side wall portion 11 of the cultivated land 1 to the side wall portion 21 of the rotation seat 2 (free fitting). The bottom part 22 of the seat 2 is assembled in such a manner as to support the bottom frame 12a of the bottom part 12 of the cultivation area 1.

  In the state where the cultivation place 1 and the rotation seat 2 are assembled, the cultivation place 1 can rotate around the disk center point P inside the rotation seat 2. In addition, about the contact surface of the side wall part 11 and the bottom part 12 of the cultivated land 1 and the side wall part 21 and the bottom part 22 of the rotary seat 2, at least the surface always has a smoothness such as a metalless resin or an oilless metal. It is preferable to perform the treatment with a material that exhibits. Such processing eliminates the need for mechanical bearings and the like.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the installation table 3 includes a support frame 31 that supports the bottom 22 of the rotary seat 2 and a support frame 31 that is fixed to the support frame 31 and driven into the installation surface 30. It consists of support legs 32 that support horizontally at a certain height.

  According to the structure of the 1st example, since it consists of the cultivation place 1, the rotation seat 2, and the installation stand 3 with a simple structure, it can manufacture cheaply and easily. Moreover, since it is comprised in the planar installation height of the cultivation place 1, the rotation seat 2, and the installation stand 3, as shown in FIG. 3, the installation surface by which only the low installation height below the solar cell module 20 is ensured. 30 can be easily installed.

  In the first example, the vegetable V is planted and grown by sowing, transplanting, etc. on the soil 14 of the cultivation place 1 installed horizontally.

  Next, the form for implementing the vegetable cultivation method which concerns on this invention is demonstrated based on description of operation of the form for implementing the vegetable cultivation equipment which concerns on this invention, and operation | movement.

  For the vegetables V planted in the cultivation soil 14 of the cultivated land 1, the amount of sunshine is large on the upper side of the solar cell module 20 (before the sunshine) and the amount of sunshine is reduced on the lower side (after the sunshine). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the vegetable V grows relatively large on the front side of sunshine and grows relatively small on the rear side of sunshine.

  Therefore, when the vegetable V on the sunshine front side is in the harvest season, as shown in FIG. 4, it grows in the half part A (not limited to 50%) on the sunshine front side of the cultivation area 1. Harvest only vegetables V. In the case of “Nira”, 3-4 cm is left behind from the stock. In addition, after harvesting, fertilizer is applied to the soil 14 of the half A on the sunshine front side of the cultivated land 1 as necessary.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the cultivation place 1 is rotated 90 degree | times.

  At this time, since the cultivated land 1 is rotated by placing the hand on the handle 13, the cultivated land 1 can be rotated manually and easily, so that the operability of the cultivated land 1 is improved. And since rotation of cultivation field 1 is performed manually, the power of rotation drive is unnecessary and cultivation (operation) cost can be reduced. In addition, since the bottom part 12 of the cultivation place 1 which applies a load with respect to the bottom part 22 of the rotation seat 2 is only in contact with a small area of the ring plate shape, it is not necessarily in contact with the entire disk shape. Smooth rotation is ensured with less frictional resistance of rotation of the cultivation area 1. In addition, the smoothing process described above is also useful for smooth rotation of the cultivation area 1.

  When the cultivation area 1 is rotated, the half B on the sunshine rear side is positioned on the sunshine front side. As a result, in the next harvest period, the growth of the vegetables V is in the state shown in FIG. Therefore, the above harvesting and the like are repeated. In the case of “Nira”, the harvest is done once every two months in the first year and once or more every month in the second year.

  That is, the difference in the overall sunshine of the cultivation area 1 can be eliminated through at least two harvest periods. Moreover, since the support leg structure and rotation drive mechanism for the cultivation place 1 are unnecessary, it is possible to increase the apparatus scale for the cultivation of vegetables V that can be repeatedly harvested in an environment with limited sunlight. Absent.

  As a result, there is no difference in the sunshine originally restricted, and no difference in the growth of the vegetables A. Therefore, about the vegetable A which can be repeatedly harvested, the fall of the yield from the difference in growth can be avoided.

  Moreover, the dead space in the environment where sunlight is restricted like the installation surface 30 covered with the solar cell module 20 can be utilized for cultivation of vegetables A.

  FIGS. 7-11 shows the 2nd example of the form for implementing the vegetable cultivation method and vegetable cultivation equipment which concern on this invention.

  In the second example, the planar shape of the rotary seat 2 of the first example is changed to a U shape.

  That is, the cultivation area 1 is configured to be slidable along the rotary seat 2. In addition, the sliding direction of the cultivation place 1 is set to the sunshine front-rear direction, and the sliding limit of the cultivation place 1 in the sunshine rearward direction is that the U-shaped base of the side wall 21 of the rotary seat 2 is a stopper. Become regulated. Further, the sliding limit of the cultivated land 1 in the sunshine front direction is regulated by an arc-shaped stopper 23 fixed to the end of the U-shaped opening of the side wall 21 of the rotary seat 2. As shown in FIG. 10, the stopper 23 has a disc center point P of the cultivation area 1 at the sliding limit in the sunshine front side direction slightly smaller than the end of the U-shaped open part of the bottom 22 of the rotary seat 2. It is set so as to be located on the inner side (U-shaped base side) with S. As a result, since the falling of the cultivated land 1 from the rotary seat 2 and the instability of the posture on the rotary seat 2 are prevented, the rotation and sliding of the cultivated land 1 are executed stably and reliably. Will be able to.

  According to the second example, as shown in FIG. 9, when the vegetables V are harvested, the cultivation area 1 is slid in the direction toward the front of the sight.

  That is, since the cultivated land 1 is slid to a relatively wide open position that is the upper side of the inclination of the solar cell module 20, the harvesting operation of the vegetables V can be easily performed.

  Thereafter, the cultivated land 1 is rotated at the slid position or the cultivated land 1 is rotated after being returned to the sunshine front side.

  FIG. 12 shows the 3rd example of the form for implementing the vegetable cultivation method and vegetable cultivation equipment which concern on this invention.

  In the third example, the tank 15 for storing the nutrient solution W is suspended and fixed to the bottom 12 of the cultivation area 1 and is inserted into the rotary seat 2 with respect to the first example.

  In the third example, hydroponics can be performed when the vegetable A is “watercress”. The cultivated soil 14 in the cultivated land 1 is changed to a cultivated soil substitute mat 16.

  According to the third example, since the tank 15 is also rotated integrally with the rotation of the cultivation area 1, the root of the vegetable V is not twisted and damaged by the rotation of the cultivation area 1.

  FIG. 13: shows the 4th example of the form for implementing the vegetable cultivation method and vegetable cultivation equipment which concern on this invention.

  In the fourth example, the tank 15 for storing the nutrient solution W is suspended and fixed to the bottom 12 of the cultivated land 1 so as to enter the inside of the rotary seat 2 in the second example.

  According to the fourth example, substantially the same operations and effects as the third example are achieved.

  In the fourth example, the support frame 31 of the installation base 3 needs to be provided with a notch structure through which the bottom 12 of the cultivation area 1 can pass.

  FIG. 14 shows a fifth example of the embodiment for carrying out the vegetable cultivation method and vegetable cultivation equipment according to the present invention.

  In the fifth example, in a solar base or the like where a large number of solar cell modules 20 are installed adjacent to each other, the reflecting plate 4 is attached to the support leg 10 that supports the solar cell module 20 on the inclined upper side, and the reflected light of the sunlight Sa It is configured to irradiate vegetables V grown in the cultivation area 1 covered with the adjacent solar cell module 20 with Sb.

  According to the fifth example, it is possible to increase the sunshine for the vegetables V grown in the cultivation area 1 covered with the solar cell module 20, and it is possible to shorten the growing period of the vegetables V and increase the yield. .

  FIG. 15 shows a sixth example of the embodiment for carrying out the vegetable cultivation method and vegetable cultivation equipment according to the present invention.

  The sixth example includes a sensor unit 5 that detects the degree of water, temperature, and vegetable V growth in each cultivation area 1 in a solar base or the like where a large number of solar cell modules 20 are installed adjacent to each other. The sensor unit 5 is connected to the management computer 6. The management computer 6 is connected to a communication line, a computer network, etc., and can transmit information to a terminal device 7 such as a remote personal computer or a portable communication terminal.

  According to the sixth example, the growing state of the vegetable V can be monitored from the terminal device 7 in a remote place.

  As described above, in addition to the illustrated examples, examples of vegetables A that can be repeatedly harvested include “shiso”, “mitsuba”, “mushrooms”, and the like. For harvesting, plucking or the like is selected in addition to cutting, depending on the type of vegetable A.

  The vegetable cultivation method and vegetable cultivation equipment according to the present invention are used for cultivating vegetables in a wide range of environments with restrictions on sunlight, such as the vicinity of a structure, such as the ground below a staircase of a building, in addition to a solar cell module. It is possible to apply to.
