Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention cultivates plants such as flowers and vegetables on a float floated in an aquarium in a house, and moves the cultivation floor with a stream of water to reduce heavy labor of cultivation work and improve work efficiency. The present invention relates to a floating floor greenhouse.

2. Description of the Related Art Cultivation work in a conventional greenhouse requires a lot of manpower, such as bringing in seedlings, picking new shoots, thinning out, sprinkling work, cutting out products, and carrying out work, in an environment of high temperature and high humidity. It is done in. In particular, work such as picking new shoots, thinning out, and cutting out products is a continuous work in which one bends down against each cultivation floor, and it is a heavy labor to move inside the house and work efficiency is extremely poor. It was In order to reduce these heavy labors as much as possible, there have been proposed a couple of methods of culturing by floating on the water in association with hydroponic cultivation (hereinafter abbreviated as floating bed cultivation). However, most of these conventional methods have only taken a method of floating the cultivation beds in a row in a long aquarium and pushing them to the other one after another by human power, which is a great improvement except for reducing the labor of transferring the cultivation beds. It wasn't.

As a proposal of floating bed cultivation in hydroponics in which water containing nutrients for plants is cultivated, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 57-171 has been proposed.
In 38328, an application is made regarding a cultivation device in which a sponge is floated and floating wasabi is grown on the water surface. This application is characterized by the fact that it can be cultivated without the stones and gravel necessary for Tsukita, and spring water, mountain stream water, and groundwater are poured as cultivation water at a suitable flow rate and cultivated. The thing to do is not described. Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 51-69030 proposes a floating bed cultivation apparatus in which a large number of cultivation beds are arranged in a row and cultivation is carried out on water.
This application states that nutrient water can be sent from one of the long cultivation tanks at a constant flow rate and the cultivation bed can be transferred to the other longitudinal direction. Although this method is considered to reduce the labor required for bringing in seedlings and carrying out cultivated products, it is essential to move the new shoots during cultivation and to perform other work by moving to each cultivation bed. It has not improved. In addition, this method of arranging in one row is costly because it is necessary to install many long cultivating tanks side by side in order to cultivate many plants at the same time.

[0004]

The present invention relates not only to hydroponic cultivation but also to cultivation of flowers and vegetables to be cultivated in soil in a greenhouse. The problems in the above work are improved and work efficiency is increased. The purpose is to raise. That is, the purpose of the present invention is to improve work efficiency by carrying out various operations such as carrying out, carrying in, caring for seedlings, and the like, which are carried out in a house, at a certain place without making a large movement.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems As a result of intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned various problems, the present invention shows that in a method for cultivating a plant on a cultivation floor floating in water, a large number of cultivation tanks in a house are provided. A floating bed cultivation house characterized by having a zone for randomly filling floating beds on water and a zone for arranging them in a row, installing water jet pumps at several locations in an aquarium, and moving the floating floor by the water flow by the pumps. Is provided. The work in the house of the present invention is
Perform in a certain place and move the cultivation floor of the flowers and vegetables to be cultivated to the worker so that the worker does not move a lot and work, and avoid the heavy labor of bending over continuously. be able to. Further, according to this method, since the work is performed in a limited place in the house, it is possible to perform the work by creating a comfortable environment by cutting off from the bad environment of high temperature and high humidity in the house only in that place. As a result, the work that requires a lot of people and a lot of time can be greatly improved, and the work efficiency can be greatly improved. Another major feature is that many plants can be cultivated at once in one house, which is a great cost advantage.

[0006] The plant to be cultivated in the house is not particularly limited as long as it is cultivated in a general house. It is possible to cultivate various plants such as flowering plants such as safinia, garland chrysanthemum, and vegetables such as trifoliate. For the cultivation floor that floats on water, the cultivation floor is installed on a float that floats on water. The float is not particularly limited as long as it can be cultivated stably without sinking in water even when a nursery bed of several tens of kilograms is placed on it. For example, expanded polystyrene having an expansion ratio of 10 times or more and having closed cells, expanded polyurethane, wood, or a floating bag made of plastic or rubber can be used as the float of the present invention. Among them, expanded polystyrene is most preferable because it is inexpensive and can easily be made into various forms. Further, the shape of the float may be various shapes and is not particularly limited to a fixed shape. For example, disk-shaped or oval-shaped ones, square-shaped or rectangular-shaped ones, polygonal disc-shaped ones such as hexagons or octagons, or column-shaped ones placed at both ends and a cultivation bed placed on top of them. , A method of arranging cylindrical objects in a raft shape, a method of placing a plate or the like on the floating bag described above, and the like. When a nursery is placed on these floats and floated on the water, if it is a prismatic shape or a piece with a long straight line, it may be difficult to move because it sticks to the end of the aquarium when moving this floating bed with water flow, so it may be difficult to move. The shape is preferable. These floats can be used as they are, but the surface can be painted and reinforced to prevent damage when they come into contact with other floating floors or the walls of aquariums. When performing hydroponics with this device, the inside of this float may be changed to a sponge or the like to make a notch for planting so that the root of the plant can be immersed in the water. A seedbed is placed on the float and floated in water for cultivation, but the basic idea is to allow these floating beds to move independently.
When working on each nursery, it may be difficult to move one or two floating beds and it may be delayed, so it is possible to connect each floating bed with a string and feed it in sequence as long as it does not hinder free movement. . The method of connection is to install a bar with a hole in the center of the float and connect the string through this hole in water, connect a hook to the side of the float and connect with a string, or make a hole in the float. There is a method of connecting through, and any method can be adopted. By connecting each floating floor with a string in this way, a small number of floating floors are left unremoved, and there is no delay and they move to the alignment zone in order, further improving efficiency, and the direction and speed of the water flow of the installed water flow pump. It becomes easier to control.

The most outstanding feature of the present invention is that the aquarium with a floating floor is provided with a zone in which a large number of cultivation beds are randomly filled and floated on the water, and a zone in which the zones are aligned. The zone of randomly filling floating beds is suitable for many cultivations at one time, and the floating beds also have the characteristic of being able to move freely. In addition, the zones arranged in a line are a necessary part when a person works on each floating floor, and are also places where the work is performed faster and more efficiently. It is necessary to move each floating bed in the zone that is randomly filled at the time of work to the alignment zone promptly and efficiently. Therefore, water jet pumps are installed at several places in the water tank to move the floating floor by an appropriate water flow. The floating floor moved to the alignment zone by the water flow is connected to the working zone, and the worker works in a fixed place. In some cases, a roller conveyor is installed in the work zone, and when the floating floor is on the work from the waterway, it is lifted up on the roller conveyor to fix the drainer and the vertical movement to further improve workability. .

When this apparatus is used for hydroponic culture, it is necessary to install a pump for circulating the nourishing water, a pipe, and a nutrient concentration adjusting tank. Further, in conventional greenhouse cultivation, it is necessary to carry out watering work on a daily basis, and the work carried out by moving to individual nurseries requires a great labor, but in the greenhouse of the present invention, The work force can be greatly reduced by either watering with a sprinkler uniformly from the top or watering the floating floor that has come to the work zone at a fixed location.
