Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a whitening device for foliage plants, which uses a light-shielding sheet to whiten and soften the foliage of vegetables such as green onions, udo, and asparagus.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 It is preferable that plants such as vegetables whose foliage is edible are soft and have a high nutrient content. For this reason, conventionally, a cultivation method called softening or softening has been already known in which ventilation or illumination of plants is turned off to soften the stem or leaf tissues.

[0003] A conventional soft white cultivation method is to raise a plurality of struts along a foliage plant such as green onion, and when the plant is small, connect a rope between these struts and support the side part of the plant with this rope. When the plant grows to a certain size, a light-shielding sheet is spread between the columns to soften a part of the plant stem or leaf.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the above-mentioned conventional cultivation method, the rope is laid on the pillar in order to connect the rope to the pillar, and when the connecting work is troublesome and it is necessary to pull the rope upward as the plant grows, the rope is pulled one by one. It may be necessary to loosen the rope and re-join it, which may result in poor workability and the rope may not be usable again.

Further, even when the light-shielding sheet is connected to the column, the light-shielding sheet is wound around the column and fixed by another member, so that the work of attaching and detaching the light-shielding sheet is troublesome and the work efficiency is poor.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is that the rope and the light shielding sheet can be easily attached and detached, the attachment positions of the rope and the light shielding sheet can be quickly changed as the plant grows, and the rope can be continuously used again and again. It is to provide a whitening device for plants.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the structure of the present invention is such that a support column that supports a rope and a light shielding sheet is formed in a dovetail groove shape, and the rope is coupled to a slidable support member that moves up and down in the dovetail groove. The seat is characterized in that it is detachably fixed in the dovetail groove via an elastic locking wire.

[0008] As the support pillar, one having a dovetail groove frame provided on the front surface and the back surface side of the plate body is used, or one having a dovetail frame having one side formed with a dovetail groove frame is arranged in a line. There is.

[0009]

[Action]

 Since the slidable support member slides in the dovetail, it can move upward as the plant grows, and the rope supports the required position of the plant each time. Since the light-shielding sheet is fixed by the elastic locking wire, it can be easily attached and detached in the dovetail groove.

[0010]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 3 show one embodiment of the present invention, a large number of foliage plants such as green onions 2 are planted in series in soil 1, and when the green onions 2 are small, as shown in FIG. Supports the bulb side of the onion 2.

When the green onion 2 grows to a certain size, as shown in FIG. 2, the stem portion, which is a bulb for softening, is shielded from light by the light shielding sheets 4 and 4, and ventilation is also cut off.

At least two pillars 5 and 5 are erected in the soil 1 in series along the arrangement direction of the green onions 2.

The support column 5 is composed of a horizontal plate main body 6 at the center and dovetail frames 7 and 7 having a narrow opening, which are integrally provided on the front surface side and the back side of the plate main body 6, A dovetail groove 8 is formed in the inside 7.

In the dovetail frames 7 and 7, slidable supporting members 9 and 9 are vertically movably inserted, and a rope 3 is coupled between the supporting members 9 and 9, and a rope 3 is a spring 2. The sides of the are supported from both sides to prevent them from falling.

The support member 9 is formed of an elastic wire material including bent portions 10 and 11 that engage with the inner wall of the dovetail groove 8, a rope coupling portion 12, and a knob portion 13. When the finger portion is hooked on the knob portion 13, When pushed in the up and down direction, the rope 3 is slid upward or downward while the rope 3 is connected.

The rope 2 is pulled up from the state of FIG. 1 to the position of FIG. 2 as the plant grows.

The supporting member of the rope 2 may be a plate member locked in the dovetail groove 8 by an arbitrary friction or other similar members.

The support column 5 is composed of the plate body 6 and the dovetail frames 7 and 7 which are integrated with each other. For example, as shown in another embodiment of FIG. 5, a dovetail frame having a narrow opening is used. The two supporting frames 18, 18 provided may be abutted and joined together.

That is, the column 5a of FIG. 5 has support frames 18 and 18 composed of plate main bodies 6a and 6a and dovetail frames 7a and 7b having narrow openings provided on one side of the plate main bodies 6a and 6a. Two of them are brought into contact with each other on their backs and fixed with screws 14.

Instead of the screw 14, welding or adhesion may be performed.

As shown in FIG. 2, when softening the bulbs of the onion 2, light-shielding sheets 4 and 4 are arranged on both sides of the bulbs, and the upper portions of the light-shielding sheets 4 and 4 are joined by clips, adhesives, or the like. It is preferable to turn off the illumination and ventilation on the stem.

The above-mentioned light-shielding sheet for blocking is fixed to the columns 5 and 5, and this fixing is made of an elastic spring having a plurality of bent portions 15 and 15 which engage with the inner wall of the dovetail groove. 16 are used.

The locking line 16 allows the bent portions 15 and 15 to be alternately fitted into and extracted from the dovetail groove 8 while supporting the knob 17 with a finger, and the spring force of the bent portions 15 and 15 can be utilized. Then, the light shielding sheets 4 and 4 are pressed against the inner walls of the dovetail grooves 8 and 8 to be fixed.

FIG. 4 relates to another embodiment of the present invention, which is a single support frame 18 shown in FIG.

The support frames 18 adjacent to each other are open on opposite sides, are slightly offset from each other in the axial direction, and form a bird's-eye shape, and every other support frame 8 is oriented in the same direction. The rope 3 and the light shielding sheets 4 and 4 are stretched between 8 and 8 to block light and wind as in FIG.

FIG. 6 relates to another embodiment of the pillar 5b of the present invention, which is a central horizontal plate body 6b and a dovetail frame 7c having an L-shaped cross section on the surface and the back side of the plate body 6b. 7c is integrally provided, and dovetail grooves 8a, 8a having a narrow opening are formed in the dovetail frames 7c, 7c. The method of use is the same as that of the embodiment shown in FIGS.

[0028]

[Effect of the device]

 The present invention has the following effects.

When the plant is small, the stem of the plant is supported by a rope, and when the plant grows to a certain size, the lower part of the plant is a light-shielding sheet that blocks light and wind to soften it and the upper part is a rope. It is supported and falls, preventing bending.

Since the rope is supported by the slidable support member, the support member can be slid upward as the plant grows, and the position of the rope can be moved upward, which makes the operation easy and speedy. By removing the support member, it can be used repeatedly for the next plant as it is.

Since the light-shielding sheet is fixed by the elastic locking line, the workability in which the light-shielding sheet can be easily attached and detached by attaching and detaching the locking line is improved.
