Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bulb cold storage for controlling the germination period by storing bulbs at a low temperature and improving the flowering rate of the bulbs.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional low-temperature treatment of bulbs has been carried out in a large prefabricated refrigerator / refrigerator in a lump, or by wintering the plants in the field ( See, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-110581).

[0003]

However, most of the bulbs were dug up and shipped in the field before winter. Therefore, bulbs were subjected to low temperature treatment at the shipping destination. Moreover, there are some bulbs that are stored in a dry state and some that are stored in a moist state, and the storage for low-temperature treatment has to be changed according to the type of bulb, which is troublesome to manage.

The present invention solves the above problems,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a low-temperature storage for bulbs, which enables low-temperature treatment depending on the type of bulb and improves the flowering rate of bulbs.

[0005]

According to the present invention, there is provided a low temperature storage room equipped with a low temperature treatment chamber for storing bulbs which is regulated at a temperature of -10 ° C to 20 ° C, and the bulbs are dried in the low temperature treatment chamber. A storage base for storing, a pot for storing the bulbs in a moistened state, an ethylene gas bath for ethylene-treating the bulbs before putting them in this chamber separately from the low temperature treatment chamber,
A hot water chamber for treating hot water and a drawer for storing the bulbs are provided.

[0006]

The present invention is constructed as described above,
The low temperature treatment room adjusts the flowering time of the bulbs, and improves the flowering rate of the bulbs in the ethylene bath and the hot water room so that the bulbs can flower at any time throughout the four seasons.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cold storage of bulbs showing an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a pot for storing bulbs in a moistened state according to the present invention. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a holder for storing the bulbs in a dry state according to the present invention.

Reference numeral 1 is a low-temperature storage room for storing bulbs, and this low-temperature storage room is adjusted to a temperature of -10 ° C to 20 ° C to store the bulbs 2 for changing the germination time.
And an ethylene gas bath 4 and a hot water chamber 5 for performing a pretreatment for improving the flowering rate of the bulbs before entering the low temperature treatment chamber, and a plurality of drawer body chambers 6 for long-term storage of the bulbs 2. Has been done.

The low temperature processing chamber 3 is designed so that the temperature setting can be changed in the range of -10 ° C to 20 ° C in the range of 0.5 ° C by a refrigerating device (not shown). In addition, low temperature treatment room 3
There is provided a holding table 7 for storing the bulbs 2 in a dry state and a pot 8 for storing the bulbs in a wet state.

The holding base 7 is formed by providing a plastic plate with a plurality of holes 9 into which the bulbs 2 are fitted. Further, the pot 8 includes a cylindrical main body 10, a non-woven fabric 11 arranged along the inner wall of the main body and kneaded with an antibacterial agent for preserving the bulbs 2 in a moistened state, and the non-woven fabric. It is composed of a lid 12 which covers the cylindrical body 10 so as to prevent water from escaping. Then, in the pot 8, bulbs 2 such as ranunculus, teppo lily and squash lily which need to be stored in a moistened state are put.

In the ethylene gas bath 4, the bulbs 2 before being put in the low temperature treatment chamber 3 are treated with 10 ppm of ethylene per day 23
The bulb 2 is flowered for a long time by repeatedly bathing it for 3 days. The bulbs 2 which are exposed to ethylene to improve the flowering rate are Dutch and iris.

In the hot water chamber 5, the bulbs 2 before being placed in the low temperature treatment chamber 3 are placed in warm water and warmed to improve the flowering rate of these bulbs. The hot water chamber 5 is provided with a water heater 14 having a throw-in heater 13. The bulbs 2 that need to be warmed in the hot water chamber 5 are teppo lilies and squash lilies.
Warm for 0 to 60 minutes and do it for 20 days. The squash lily is warmed for 60 minutes at a temperature of 43 ° C to 45 ° C.

In the low temperature storage of bulbs thus constructed, the low temperature treatment chamber 3 is adjusted by the refrigerating device in the range of -10 ° C to 20 ° C in the range of 0.5 ° C to keep the bulbs 2 in the dry state. In a storage room that can be stored at a low temperature in a damp state, the bulbs 2 to be stored in a dry state are set in the holes 9 of the holding table 7, and the bulbs 2 to be stored in a damp state are stored in the pot 8. And is subjected to low temperature treatment according to the characteristics of each bulb 2. This low-temperature treatment allows the spring-flowering bulbs 2 to experience winter in the low-temperature treatment chamber 3 so that the flowering time of the bulbs can be adjusted arbitrarily throughout the four seasons.

In the ethylene gas bath 4, the bulbs 2 such as Dutch and iris are exposed to ethylene before being put into the low temperature treatment chamber 3 to improve the flowering rate. In addition, the hot water chamber 5 warms the bulbs 2 such as the lily of the valley and the lily lily with lukewarm water before entering the low temperature treatment chamber 3 to improve the flowering rate.

The pot 8 for moistening and storing the bulbs 2 in the low temperature treatment chamber 3 prevents the bulbs 2 from being dried by including water in the non-woven fabric 11 containing the antibacterial agent stored in the cylindrical body 10. I have to.

The low-temperature storage 1 is provided with a low-temperature treatment chamber 3, an ethylene vapor bath 4 and a hot-water chamber 5 integrally in the same case, so that a user such as a home can easily obtain the spring blooming bulbs 2 at any season. The flowering rate is improved so that it can bloom.

Further, the cold storage 1 can be stocked with a large amount of various kinds of bulbs 2 by integrally providing a drawer body 6 for long-term preservation of the bulbs 2, and flowers can be bloomed at any season throughout the four seasons. I am trying.

[0019]

As described above, according to the present invention, -10
A low-temperature storage cabinet equipped with a low-temperature treatment chamber for storing bulbs adjusted to a temperature of 20 ° C to 20 ° C, wherein a storage stand for storing the bulbs in the low-temperature treatment chamber and a bulb for storing the bulbs in a wet state Since it is equipped with a pot, an ethylene gas bath for treating the bulbs with ethylene before entering the chamber separately from the low temperature treatment chamber, a hot water chamber for treating hot water, and a drawer for storing the bulbs, Have an effect.

By arbitrarily changing the conditions for storing bulbs at low temperature, flowers can be made to bloom throughout the four seasons regardless of the type of spring-blowing bulbs.

By providing an ethylene bath and a hot water chamber, which can improve the flowering rate of bulbs, integrally in the low temperature treatment chamber, spring flowers can be easily made to bloom throughout the four seasons at home.
