 Hereinafter, the curtain device for outdoor gardening of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a curtain device, which is composed of an upper cable 2, a lower cable 4, a curtain supporting wire 6, a curtain suspender 7, a traveling pipe 8, a drive mechanism 9, a curtain 10 and the like.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the upper cable 2 is arranged so as to extend over a pillar 3 which is erected on the ground at a predetermined interval so as to draw an arc whose lower portion is substantially central. Further, at least two or more are arranged so as to face each other. Although the upper cable 2 is composed of a relatively thick wire or the like, its material is not particularly limited.

Similar to the upper cable 2, the lower cable 4 is arranged so as to extend between the columns 3, and two or more are arranged facing each other, and a plurality of the lower cables 4 are supported between the columns 3 by the upper cable 2. It is suspended and supported by a suspending member 5 made of a wire, a string, or the like. As the suspending member 5, the one disposed closer to the central portion between the columns 3 has a shorter length, so that the lower cable 4 suspended and supported by this is shown in FIG. As shown in the drawing, the pillars 3 are stretched in a substantially arch shape (bow shape).

The curtain-supporting wire 6 is composed of a wire, a string, etc., and a plurality of the wires 6 are laid between the lower cables 4 arranged opposite to each other, that is, in a direction substantially orthogonal to the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 4. Is provided (see FIGS. 1 and 3). A plurality of curtain suspenders 7 are movably supported on each curtain supporting wire 6. The curtain suspending device 7 is not particularly limited, and for example, one having a sandwiching part capable of sandwiching an arbitrary part of the curtain 10 and a ring part inserted into the curtain supporting wire 6 is used. it can.

The traveling pipe 8 is arranged on the curtain supporting wire 6 so as to be capable of reciprocating between the lower cables 4 arranged opposite to each other, that is, in a direction orthogonal to each curtain supporting wire 6. To be done. Further, since it reciprocates on the curtain supporting wire 6, it is composed of a flexible pipe material or wire which bends along the curtain supporting wire 6 into a substantially arched shape similar to the lower cable 4. It In addition, you may use what was previously bent in the shape of an arch.

Any driving means may be used for moving the traveling pipe 8 back and forth. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the support column 3 adjacent to one lower cable 4 is used. Motor 91 fixed at an appropriate position, a drive rod 92 connected to a drive shaft of the motor 91 through a joint member (not shown), and fitted and fixed at an appropriate position of the drive rod 92. The wire drum 93, the base end portion and the other end portion thereof are fixed to the wire drum 93, and the middle of the wire drum 93 is wound around a pulley 94 fixed to an appropriate position of the column 3 adjacent to the other lower cable 4. It can be driven by a drive mechanism 9 having a drive wire 95 which is inverted. That is, the traveling pipe 8 is reciprocated as the driving wire 95 is driven back and forth by connecting the traveling pipe 8 to an appropriate position of the driving wire 95 with an arbitrary fixture. The drive wire 95 is stretched over the lower cable 4 and the traveling pipe 8 as shown in FIG. Reference numeral 96 is a bearing member for the drive rod 92, which is fixedly provided on each of the columns 3, and 97 is a relay pulley.

The curtain 10 is disposed below the curtain supporting wire 6 with an arbitrary portion being sandwiched by the curtain suspenders 7. The base end portion 10a is fixed to an arbitrary lower cable 4 or a curtain suspender 7 arranged closest to the lower cable 4, and the front end portion 10b is fixed to the traveling pipe 8. The fixing method is not particularly limited, and for example, as shown in FIG. 3, it can be clamped and fixed by a packer 8a which is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape and a part of which is open. Any material can be used as the material for forming the carten 10 as long as it can protect crops from external pressure such as wind and rain and hail, and has water permeability and air permeability. For example, as shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, use a material in which a plastic material 11 such as nylon cut into a tape shape and a metal material 12 such as an aluminum foil cut into a tape shape are woven in one direction or in the length and width using warp threads 13 and weft threads 14. be able to. With such a knitting curtain, heat transmission / reflection characteristics, light transmission / reflection characteristics, heat absorption / light absorption characteristics, etc. can be exhibited as characteristics of nylon or aluminum foil. In particular, from the mesh, breathability and water permeability are maintained appropriately. In addition to this, a plastic sheet coated with a metal thin film, a gauze cloth, or the like can also be used.

Next, the operation of the outdoor gardening curtain device 1 of this embodiment will be described. First, in fine weather, the curtain 10 is opened and moved toward the base end portion 10a in an accordion shape. Then, in the case of rain, hail, or strong wind, the prime mover 91 of the drive device 9 is operated. As a result, the drive wire 95 is driven in a predetermined direction, and the tip pipe 8 connected thereto is also moved from one lower cable 4 side to the other lower cable 4 side opposite thereto. Therefore, the curtain 10 is led by the tip pipe 8 and sequentially expanded from the tip portion 10b side. At this time, according to the present embodiment, since the curtain 10 is opened and closed not below the curtain supporting wire 6 but through the curtain suspending tool 7, the curtain 10 comes into contact with the curtain supporting wire 6. It is possible to prevent the curtain 10 from being worn and damaged.

When the traveling pipe 8 approaches the other lower cable 4, the curtain 10 is closed in an arch shape (see FIG. 1). As a result, it is possible to prevent damage to fruit trees and the like due to direct contact with the rain and hail and hail. In particular, since it is stretched in an arch shape, it can exert sufficient strength to withstand the load caused by wind, rain, and hail. On the other hand, even if the curtain 10 is closed, since the curtain 10 of the present embodiment has water permeability and air permeability, an appropriate water supply to the ground can be secured.
