Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a cultivation device used in greenhouses for the cultivation of vines, particularly cucumbers.

Traditionally, the method used to grow cucumbers in a greenhouse was to wrap the vines around wires suspended from the ceiling as they grew.

However, this method had the disadvantage that as the cucumbers grew, the fruits in high places became inaccessible, making harvesting inconvenient.

On the other hand, the present applicant first moves the hanging string horizontally so that the violet part stretches horizontally by the length of the cucumber as it grows, and then also moves the hanging string by the length of the movement. A device (Utility Model Publication No. 48-21312) was provided in which the liquid was supplied downward.

However, with the above hanging string device, the original violet of cucumber is 20 to 30.
If the hanging strings are supplied sequentially as the cucumber seedlings grow, there is a risk that the hanging strings supplied to each cucumber seedling will become intertwined with each other and cause trouble to the entire apparatus.

The object of the present invention is to provide a greenhouse cultivation device for vine plants that can eliminate such drawbacks.

That is, in the device according to the present invention, a hanging cord supporting a vine is wound around a bobbin, each winding is attached to a moving wire that moves the bobbin horizontally, and each winding is unwound from the bobbin. The hanging cord is suspended downward through the feeding part of the horizontally movable guide belt, and when the plant is moved horizontally, the hanging cord is appropriately latched to the guide belt by a stopper.
First, the moving wire is moved by a certain distance to feed out the desired length of the hanging cord between the feeding section and the bobbin, and then the guide belt is moved by the amount of plant growth to gradually feed the hanging cord below the feeding section downward. I try to do that.

Therefore, in the device configured in this way, the hanging cord is always kept under tension without loosening, so no matter how long the hanging cord is let out, troubles such as the hanging cords becoming entangled with each other will not occur.

This will be explained below based on the illustrated embodiments.

In a greenhouse (not shown), several cucumber seedlings 1 are planted in series at regular intervals.

Each of these seedlings 1 is wound around a hanging string 2 hanging down from above, and is supported so that its tip side is always positioned vertically at least several tens of CI7'L.

Each hanging cord 2 is attached to a winding bobbin 3 on which a cucumber seedling 1 grows.
It is wound to a length corresponding to ~30 m, and is unwound from the bobbin 3 as appropriate.

For winding, the bobbin 3 is attached to a moving wire 4 that is stretched horizontally upward in parallel to the rows of cucumber planting.

The moving wire 4 is configured so that it can be moved horizontally to the right in the drawing by an appropriate drive mechanism, and as the wire moves, the hanging cord 2 is unwound from the bobbin 8.

In addition, the hanging cord 2 that is unwound from the bobbin has a movement l.
It is suspended downward via a guide belt 5 arranged in parallel below the wheel 4.

The guide belt 5 has a length that spans approximately the entire length of the greenhouse,
Like the moving wire 4, it is configured to be able to horizontally move to the right in the drawing by an appropriate drive mechanism.

A plurality of feeding parts 6 are provided on the belt surface of the guide belt 5 at regular intervals, and the hanging cord 2 is guided downward through each feeding part 6.

In the illustrated embodiment, the feeding portion 6 is a through hole formed obliquely so as to be inclined in the moving direction of the moving wire 4.

This is a stopper that locks the hanging cord suspended below the belt surface by the guide belt 5 so that it is not pulled when the moving wire 4 moves in advance and lets out the hanging cord 2 when the plant is moved horizontally. This is to provide functionality.

In the device configured in this manner, a cucumber seedling is wound around a hanging string 2 hanging below a guide belt 5, and its tip side is supported vertically.

When this seedling grows and extends upward to an appropriate size, the moving wire 4 is first moved horizontally to the right side of the drawing in order to allow it to crawl horizontally only outside of its growth, and the winding is carried out from the bobbin 3' to the hanging cord 2 (see the chain line).
is rolled out.

At this time, the hanging cord 2 hanging below the guide belt 5 is
Since it is locked by the diagonally formed through-hole 6 of the guide bell]-5, it is not pulled upward, and as the moving wire 4 moves using this as a fulcrum, the winding is performed from the bobbin 3' to the new bobbin 3'. The hanging cord 2 is adapted to be let out.

When the hanging string 2' of a predetermined length is let out, the movement of the moving wire 4 is stopped, and then the guide belt 5 is moved to the right side of the drawing by a distance corresponding to the growth of the seedling.

With this movement, the position of the through hole that locks the hanging cord 2 approaches directly below the bobbin, so the perforation 6
The stopper action of ' is gradually loosened, and the previously drawn out suspension string 2' (see the dashed line) is supplied below the guide belt 5.

Therefore, the cucumber seedling 1 is able to crawl sideways according to the size of the newly supplied hanging string 2.

As described above, according to the present invention, cucumber vines are able to regularly crawl along the offerings with their tips always wrapped around the hanging string to a certain height, and moreover, a large number of hanging strings can be hung from the guide belt. However, since the parts from the bobbin to the seedlings always remain parallel to each other, troubles such as the hanging cords becoming entangled with each other do not occur.
