A temperature controller 6 having a heat exchange device capable of raising the temperature and a flow pump, and a plurality of piping members 40 through which the temperature control medium flows are provided. In addition, although demonstrated with the growth container 1 of the 1st example for easy explanation, any of the growth containers 1 mentioned above should just be used.

先ず、図12に示す実施の一形態は、育成容器連結体９の長手方向Ｌ’の一端側に配設され、他の育成容器１と連結していない雄接続継手３Ａ及び雌接続継手３Ｂを、温調機６の供給口部６ａに接続された供給配管41に接続している。また、育成容器連結体９の長手方向Ｌ’の他端側に配設され、他の育成容器１と連結していない雄接続継手３Ａ及び雌接続継手３Ｂを、温調機６の戻り口部６ｂに接続された戻り配管42に接続している。
つまり、温調媒体が矢印Ｙで示すように、育成容器連結体９の長手方向Ｌ’（育成容器１の長手方向Ｌ）の一端側から他端側に向かって流れ、その後、温調機６に戻るように構成している。 First, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 12, the male connection joint 3A and the female connection joint 3B that are disposed on one end side in the longitudinal direction L ′ of the growth container coupling body 9 and are not connected to other growth containers 1 are provided. , Connected to a supply pipe 41 connected to the supply port 6a of the temperature controller 6.

It is connected to a return pipe 42 connected to 6b.
That is, as shown by the arrow Y, the temperature control medium flows from one end side to the other end side in the longitudinal direction L ′ (the longitudinal direction L of the growth container 1) of the growth container connector 9, and then the temperature adjuster 6 It is configured to return to.

次に、図13に示す他の実施形態は、一方の側壁部10Ａから突設し、かつ、育成容器連結体９の長手方向Ｌ’の一端側に配設され他の育成容器１と連結していない雄接続継手３Ａに、供給配管41が接続されている。また、他方の側壁部10Ｂから突設し、かつ、育成容器連結体９の長手方向Ｌ’の一端側に配設され他の育成容器１と連結していない雌接続継手３Ｂに、戻り配管42に接続している。そして、育成容器連結体９の長手方向Ｌ’の他端側に配設され、他の育成容器１と連結していない雄接続継手３Ａ及び雌接続継手３Ｂ同士を、Ｕ字状の折り返し配管43にて接続している。
つまり、温調媒体が矢印Ｙで示すように、複数の育成容器１の一方の側方流路空間部11Ａを流れ、折り返し配管43にてＵターンし、複数の育成容器１の他方の側方流路空間部11Ｂを流れて、温調機６に戻るように構成している。なお、図13に示した実施形態は、左右一対の側方流路空間部11Ａ，11Ｂを有し、かつ、側方流路空間部11Ａ，11Ｂ同士が連通していない場合の育成容器１を用いる。 Next, another embodiment shown in FIG. 13 projects from one side wall portion 10A, and is disposed on one end side in the longitudinal direction L ′ of the growth vessel coupling body 9 and is connected to the other growth vessel 1. The supply pipe 41 is connected to the male connection joint 3A that is not. Further, a return pipe 42 is provided to a female connection joint 3B that protrudes from the other side wall portion 10B and is disposed on one end side in the longitudinal direction L ′ of the growth vessel coupling body 9 and not connected to the other growth vessel 1.

In addition, the embodiment shown in FIG. 13 has a pair of left and right side flow path spaces 11A and 11B, and the growth container 1 when the side flow path spaces 11A and 11B are not in communication with each other. Use.

次の本発明の植物の周年栽培育成装置の使用方法（作用）について説明する。
２つの育成容器１，１を長手方向Ｌに相互に接近させると、育成容器１と別の育成容器１’が連結する。育成容器１，１同士が直接的に連結（直結）し、苗の育成可能範囲の広い細長状の育成容器連結体９が形成される。雄接続継手３Ａと雌接続継手３Ｂは、隣り合う育成容器１同士の流路空間部11を連通するための配管部材と、複数の育成容器１を育成容器連結体９として保持する連結保持部材とに、併用されている。育成容器１，１同士の端壁が接近乃至接触して、設置空間を無駄なく、苗の育成空間として使用可能にする。
また、雄接続継手３Ａと雌接続継手３Ｂの接続を解除（分離）させることで、育成容器１，１同士の連結は容易かつスムーズに解除される。つまり、育成容器１，１の連結する個数、即ち、苗の育成可能な場所（範囲）を増減可能とする。 Next, the usage method (action) of the plant year-round cultivation and growth apparatus of the present invention will be described.
When the two growth containers 1 and 1 are brought close to each other in the longitudinal direction L, the growth container 1 and another growth container 1 ′ are connected. The growth containers 1 and 1 are directly connected (directly connected) to form an elongated growth container connection body 9 having a wide range of seedling growth. Male connection fitting 3A and the female connection fitting. 3B, connection holding member for holding the flow path space portion 11 of the growth vessel 1 with each other to fit Ri neighboring piping member for communicating a plurality of breeding containers 1 as growth vessel coupling body 9 And it is used together. The end walls of the breeding containers 1 and 1 approach or come into contact with each other, so that the installation space can be used as a seedling growing space without waste.
Further, by releasing (separating) the connection between the male connection joint 3A and the female connection joint 3B, the connection between the growth containers 1 and 1 can be easily and smoothly released. That is, the number to which the growing containers 1 and 1 are connected, that is, the place (range) where the seedling can be grown can be increased or decreased.

そして、育成容器１の複数の分割収容空間２ａに、苗床材Ｇを入れて、苗を植える。温調機６によって冷水又は温水等の温調媒体が流路空間部11に供給され、苗床材Ｇと熱交換する。
例えば、苗が苺や小ネギである場合に、温調媒体で冷水することで、収穫を、自然栽培での本来の収穫時期（旬）である春ではなく、夏に行うことを可能にする。また、旬が夏であるピーマン、トマト、キュウリであれば、温調媒体を温水とし、暖めることで、冬に収穫を可能にする。このように、収穫したい時期に、果物や野菜の実、或いは、園芸用の花が蕾乃至開花状態に成長するように、温調媒体で冷却又は暖めることで、苗の育成を制御し周年（通年）栽培を可能にする。 Then, the seedbed material G is put into the plurality of divided housing spaces 2a of the breeding container 1, and seedlings are planted. A temperature control medium such as cold water or warm water is supplied to the flow path space 11 by the temperature controller 6 and exchanges heat with the seedbed material G.
For example, when the seedlings are cocoons or small leeks, it is possible to harvest in the summer instead of spring, which is the original harvest time (season) in natural cultivation, by cooling with a temperature control medium. . If the season is summer, such as peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers, warming water is used as the temperature control medium, and harvesting is possible in winter. In this way, at the time you want to harvest, you can control the growth of seedlings by cooling or warming with a temperature control medium so that fruits and vegetables fruit or horticultural flowers grow in a bud or flowering state. (All year) Enables cultivation.

また、流路空間部11が形成されている長手壁部10には、長手方向Ｌに沿って広範囲に苗床材Ｇに面状接触するため、効率よく、苗床材Ｇ及び苗と、温調媒体と、が熱交換する。
例えば、図14（ａ）に示すように育成容器１の第１例を用いた場合を実施例とし、図14（ｂ）に示したように流路空間部11を有さない収容容器Ｊに、横断面蒲鉾型のチューブＰ１を苗床材Ｇに埋設したものを第１比較例とし、図14（ｃ）に示したように横断面円形のチューブＰ２を苗床材Ｇに埋設したものを第２比較例とすると、熱交換すべき苗床材Ｇと接触する面積は、断面視で苗床材Ｇに接する線（接触線）の寸法と、長手方向Ｌの長さ寸法の積である。長手方向Ｌの長さ寸法を、実施例及び第１・第２比較例を同じ値に設定すると、熱交換に有効な面積は、接触線の長さに比例すると言える。 In addition, the longitudinal wall portion 10 in which the flow path space portion 11 is formed has a planar contact with the seedbed material G in a wide range along the longitudinal direction L. Therefore, the seedbed material G and the seedling can be efficiently combined with the temperature control medium. And heat exchange.
For example, the case where the first example of the growth container 1 is used as shown in FIG. 14 (a) is used as an example, and the container J having no flow path space 11 as shown in FIG. 14 (b) is used. In addition, a tube in which a cross-sectional saddle-shaped tube P1 is embedded in a seedbed material G is a first comparative example, and a tube having a circular cross-section P2 is embedded in the nursery material G as shown in FIG. If it is set as a comparative example, the area which contacts the seedbed material G which should be heat-exchanged is a product of the dimension of the line (contact line) which contacts the seedbed material G in a cross-sectional view and the length dimension in the longitudinal direction L. If the length dimension in the longitudinal direction L is set to the same value in the example and the first and second comparative examples, it can be said that the area effective for heat exchange is proportional to the length of the contact line.

実施例の接触線の寸法は、左右一対の側壁部10Ａ，10Ｂの上下方向長さ寸法Ｈの２倍であり、具体的には、１８２ｍｍである。第１比較例の接触線の寸法は、円弧線分寸法Ｒと弦線分寸法Ｔの和であり、７０ｍｍである。また、第２比較例は、円周長寸法であり、直径寸法Ｄが10ｍｍの場合約３１ｍｍである。従って、実施例は、第１比較例の２．６倍、第２比較例の約６倍の熱交換有効面積を得ている。十分に効率良く温調効果が得られると言える。
言い換えると、第１比較例が実施例と同様の熱交換有効面積を得るためには、２．６本
以上、つまり、３本は埋設する必要があり、第２比較例では、６本埋設する必要がある。根が発育する障害になると共に、施工が困難である。さらに、複数の収容容器Ｊを直列状に並べる際は、チューブＰ１，Ｐ２を、一度出し、再び、別の収容容器Ｊに埋設するため、熱効率及び美観が損なわれる。また、実施例は、埋設されるチューブＰ１，Ｐ２に比べ、温度に敏感な茎の根元（クラウン）に対しても効率良く熱を作用（伝達）でき、苗の育成をより確実かつ容易に制御可能としている。熱交換効率が良いので温調機６の設定（制御）が反映されやすく、より細かな温調制御（育成の制御）が可能となる。 The dimension of the contact line in the embodiment is twice the vertical dimension H of the pair of left and right side wall portions 10A and 10B, specifically 182 mm. The dimension of the contact line of the first comparative example is the sum of the arc segment dimension R and the chord segment dimension T, and is 70 mm. Further, the second comparative example has a circumferential length dimension, and is about 31 mm when the diameter dimension D is 10 mm. Accordingly, in the example, the heat exchange effective area is 2.6 times that of the first comparative example and about 6 times that of the second comparative example. It can be said that the temperature control effect can be obtained sufficiently efficiently.
In other words, in order for the first comparative example to obtain a heat exchange effective area similar to that of the example, 2.6 pieces or more, that is, three pieces need to be buried, and in the second comparative example, six pieces are buried. There is a need. Construction becomes difficult as it becomes an obstacle to develop roots. Furthermore, when arranging a plurality of storage containers J in series, the tubes P1 and P2 are once taken out and embedded again in another storage container J, so that thermal efficiency and aesthetics are impaired. In addition, compared with the embedded tubes P1 and P2, the embodiment can efficiently act (transfer) heat to the root of the stem (crown) sensitive to temperature, and control the growth of seedlings more reliably and easily. It is possible. Since the heat exchange efficiency is good, the setting (control) of the temperature controller 6 is easily reflected, and finer temperature control (growth control) is possible.

なお、本発明は設計変更可能であって、育成容器１の長手壁部10及び幅方向壁部20の材質は、金属、樹脂、陶器等自由である。また、分割壁部20Ｃを省略しても良い。また、底流路空間部11Ｃによって、左右一対の側方流路空間部11Ａ，11Ｂを連通させずに、各流路空間部11を独立させても良い。 In addition, the design of the present invention can be changed, and the material of the longitudinal wall portion 10 and the width direction wall portion 20 of the growth vessel 1 can be any metal, resin, pottery, or the like. Further, the dividing wall portion 20C may be omitted . Also, the underflow path space portion 11C, a pair of left and right side channel space portion 11A, 11B without communicating, yet good made independent of each flow path space portion 11.

また、苗床材Ｇは、土や砂、肥料、ロックウール等、植物の苗が根を張るのに適しているものであれば良い。また、分割収容空間２ａにコップ状のポットに植えられた苗を配置しても良い。また、温調媒体を送流するポンプは温調機６と別体として設けても良い。 The seedbed material G may be any material that is suitable for rooting plant seedlings, such as soil, sand, fertilizer, rock wool, and the like. Moreover, you may arrange | position the seedling planted by the cup-shaped pot in the division | segmentation accommodation space 2a. Further, the pump for feeding the temperature control medium may be provided separately from the temperature controller 6.
