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. 8, a perforated panel (3) made of polystyrene foam 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 conventional problems, the present invention provides a water receiver (19) below the holes (11C, 12C) on the back surface (11A, 12A) of the perforated panel (11, 12). A sprinkler (15A) is arranged above the perforated panel (11,12), and a plant P is carried in each of the holes (11C, 12C) of the perforated panel (11,12). A vertical type plant cultivation bed (10) fitted with the water absorbent plug (14).

[0005]

[Action]

 The water sprinkled from the sprinkler (15A) flows down along the back surface (11A, 12A) of the perforated panel (11, 12) and is received by the water receiver (19). The water received in the water receiver (19) is absorbed by the water absorbing plugs (14) fitted in the holes (11C, 12C) of the panels (11, 12), respectively, and It is supplied to the plant P carried on the stopper (14).

[0006]

【Example】

 The present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 5. In the vertical type plant cultivation bed (10) shown in the figure, (11, 12) are a pair of perforated panels, and the perforated panel is shown. (11,12) are vertically installed opposite to each other, both sides are fixed by side frames (13,13), and a spacer is provided between the panels (11,12) inside the side frames (13,13). (13A, 13A) are interposed, and a gutter (15) having a funnel-shaped cross section is attached to the upper end of the gap S of the panels (11, 12).

The panel (11, 12) is provided with a large number of holes (11C, 12C), and the holes (11C, 12C) are elevated from the back side of the panel (11, 12) to the front side. And an angled water receiver (19) is arranged below the holes (11C, 12C), and the bottom of the water receiver (19) is filled with water as shown in FIG. A hole (19A) is provided. A water absorbing plug (14) carrying a plant P is fitted in each of the holes (11C, 12C). The plant P is salad vegetables, lettuce, honeywort, spinach, parsley, tomato, cucumber and the like.

The panel (11, 12) is made of plastic foam such as polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene, wood, fiber board, etc., and the water absorbing plug (14) is made of polyurethane foam, fiber molding, etc. Consists of.

A watering nozzle (15A) is arranged above the pair of panels (11, 12), and the panel (11, 12) is installed on a moving frame (16) with casters (16A). A hole (16B) is provided at the bottom of the moving frame (16).

A plurality of the vertical type plant cultivation beds (10) having the above-mentioned configuration are arranged side by side on the rail (17A) of the base frame (17), and a plurality of lamps (18) are laterally arranged between the beds (10). It is arranged.

In the above structure, the water W is sprinkled from the water spray nozzle (15A). The water W is guided by the gutter (15) and flows down through the gap S between the panels (11, 12). At this time, the water W flows down along the back surface of the panels (11, 12). The water is absorbed by the water-absorbing plugs (14) which are received by the receivers (19), and which are fitted into the holes (11C, 12C) of the panels (11, 12) to be supplied to the plants P, and Drain down through the drain hole (19A) of the water receiver (19). Fertilizer or the like may be dissolved in the water W. Since the holes (11C, 12C) of the panel (11, 12) are inclined so as to rise from the back side to the front side, the water W does not leak from the holes (11C, 12C) to the front side.

After flowing down between the panels (11, 12), the water W is received by the moving frame (16) and flows down from the hole (16B) of the moving frame (16) to the base frame (17). The water W flowing down to the base frame (17) is recirculated from the groove (17) B to the water spray nozzle (15A) from the recirculation path (19C) by the pump (19B).

In this way, the plant P carried on the water absorbing plug (14) is supplied with water W 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, 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 space between the beds (10) can be made smaller and the beds (10) can be arranged more closely. The bed (10) may be moved without moving the lamp (18).

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a water receiver (29) is attached to each hole (21C) on the back surface of the perforated panel (21) provided with a large number of holes (21C), and the bottom of the water receiver (29) is attached. A drainage hole (29A) is provided.

The plant cultivation bed other than the above-mentioned embodiments may be configured by one panel.

[0016]

[Effect of the device]

 Therefore, according to the present invention, the plant cultivation bed can be made vertical, and the land use efficiency is remarkably improved (it is estimated that it will be about three times or more compared to the conventional horizontal type), and the heating etc. The energy efficiency required for is also improved.
