Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention mainly relates to a vertical type plant cultivation bed used for hydroponic cultivation.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 6, a perforated panel (3) made of polystyrene foam or the like is floated on a tank (1) filled with water (2) in which fertilizer or the like is dissolved, and the holes ( There is provided a horizontal type plant cultivation bed (6) in which a water absorbent plug (5) made of polyurethane foam is fitted to (4) and the plant P is carried on the plug (5).

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, such a horizontal type plant cultivation bed (6) occupies a large area and the land use efficiency is low, and the energy efficiency required for heating and the like is low.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 As a means for solving the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention vertically installs a perforated panel (11) having a corrugated plate (12) near the back surface (11) A, and a hole ( 11) A vertical type plant cultivation bed in which a water absorbing plug (14) carrying a plant P is fitted in each of B and a sprinkler (15) is arranged above is provided.

[0005]

[Action]

 The water sprinkled from the sprinkler (15) enters the gap S 2 between the perforated panel (11) and the corrugated plate (12) and is scattered while the downflow speed is suppressed by the corrugated plate (12), Water is evenly distributed on the back surface of the panel (11), absorbed by the water absorbent plug (14), and supplied to the plant P carried by the plug (14).

[0006]

[Effects of the Invention] Therefore, in the present invention, the plant cultivation bed can be made vertical, and the land use efficiency is significantly improved (it is estimated that it will be about three times or more compared to the conventional horizontal type). As a result, the energy efficiency required for heating, etc. is also improved.

[0007]

【Example】

 The present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4. In the vertical type plant cultivation bed (10) shown in the drawing, (11) and (11) are a pair of perforated panels, and The perforated panels (11), (11) are vertically installed facing each other with a predetermined gap S, and fixed on both sides by side frames (13), (13). Spacers (13) A, (13) A are interposed between the panels (11), and the back surface (11) of the panels (11), (11) is placed in the gap S between the panels (11), (11). A sine curve-shaped corrugated plate (12) is sandwiched with A and (11) A and a slight gap S, and a gutter (11) C with a funnel section is attached to the upper end of the gap S. There is.

The panels (11), (11) are provided with a large number of holes (11) B, and the holes (11) B face the gap S between the panels (11), (11). The water absorbing plugs (14) carrying the plant P are fitted in the holes (11) B, respectively. The plant P is salad vegetables, lettuce, honeywort, spinach, parsley, tomato, cucumber and the like.

The panels (11) and (11) are made of plastic foam such as polystyrene, polypropylene and polyethylene, wood, fiber board and the like, and the water absorbing plug (14) is made of polyurethane foam and fiber molding. The corrugated plate (12) is made of metal such as stainless steel, aluminum, polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, or plastic, or the like.

A watering nozzle (15) is disposed above the pair of panels (11), (11), and the panels (11), (11) are movable frames (16) with casters (16) A. ), And a hole (16) B is provided in the lower portion of the transfer frame (16).

A plurality of the vertical type plant cultivation beds (10) having the above structure are arranged in parallel on the rail (17) A of the base frame (17), and a plurality of lamps (18) are laterally arranged between the beds (10). It is located in.

In the above structure, water is sprinkled from the water spray nozzle (15). The water flows down the gap S between the panels (11) and (11), and at this time, the water is dispersed by the corrugated plate (12) between the panels (11) and (11) as shown in FIG. It flows down while spreading evenly, and water is absorbed by the water absorbing plug (14) fitted in the holes (11) B of the panels (11), (11) to be supplied to the plant P. Fertilizer and the like may be dissolved in the water. Since the holes (11) B of the panels (11), (11) are inclined so as to rise from the inside to the outside, the water does not leak from the holes (11) B to the outside.

The water flows down between the gaps S between the panels (11) and (11) and then is received by the moving frame (16), and is transferred from the hole (16) B of the moving frame (16) to the base frame (17). ). The water flowing down to the base frame (17) is recirculated from the groove (17) B to the water spray nozzle (15) from the recirculation path (20) by the pump (19).

As described above, the plant P carried by the water absorbent plug (14) is supplied with water and is irradiated with light from the lamp (18) to grow, but as shown in FIG. The ramp (18) is moved at a predetermined speed between the beds (10) and (10). When the lamp (18) is moved in this manner, the plant P is prevented from being damaged by the heat from the lamp (18), and the lamp (18) can be brought close to the bed (10). The spacing between the beds (10) can be reduced and the beds (10) can be arranged more densely. The bed (10) may be moved without moving the lamp (18).

Other than the above embodiment, the perforated panel (11) does not necessarily have to be vertical or may be slightly inclined, and as shown in FIG. 5, there is only one perforated panel (11). However, the corrugated plate (12) may be arranged in contact with the back surface thereof. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the corrugated plate (22) may be formed with a mountain-shaped waveform, or as shown in FIG. 7, a pulse-shaped waveform may be formed.
