Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to plant cultivation, and particularly to a plant cultivation support suitable for utilizing light that is not directly irradiated onto plants for cultivation and improving the utilization efficiency of incident light.

In a conventional cultivation device using a plant support, a support 5 made of continuous foam is fitted into a hole provided in FIG. 1, and a plant 6 is planted in the support 5. The plants 6 are irradiated with natural light transmitted through the glass windows of the greenhouse 1 and artificial light from a light source 7 provided in the greenhouse 1, and the plants 6 grow by these light rays. However, since the light that is not directly irradiated onto the plants 6 is not utilized, it is necessary to increase the size of the equipment for the light source 7, and at the same time, the energy used for the light source 7 also increases, which is wasteful, and the fixed costs and variable costs associated with lighting are increased. The drawback was that the costs were excessive.

An object of the present invention is to provide a plant cultivation support that utilizes light that is not directly irradiated onto plants for cultivation and improves the utilization efficiency of irradiated light.

The present invention utilizes light that is not directly irradiated onto the plant, but is particularly reflected from a support located close to the plant.
The surface of the support is coated with highly reflective material or processed to be easily reflective, which means that even light rays that deviate from the plants will be reflected from the support. Since the reflected light can be used for plant growth,
Even if the trees are planted very densely, the light utilization efficiency will improve by more than a few tens of inches.

As shown in FIG. 2, a cross-sectional view of the cultivation device using the plant support of the present invention on the real male side includes a cultivation tank 12 in a greenhouse 11, and a cultivation tank 12 filled with water 13 for cultivation. The body 14 is floated, a reflector 15 is pasted on the upper side of the support 14, a support 16 made of continuous foam is fitted into the hole provided in the support 14, and a plant 17 is placed on the support 16. It is implanted. The plants 17 are irradiated with natural light that has passed through the glass window of the greenhouse 11 and artificial light from a light source 18 installed inside the greenhouse 11.
At the same time as the plant 7 grows, the light rays that are not directly irradiated to the plant 17 are reflected by the reflector 15, so the reflected light rays are irradiated to the plant 17, and the plant 17 also grows due to this reflected light ray. .

Since the light reflected by the reflector 15 is by no means smaller than the light rays that are directly irradiated to the plants 17, when considering the reflected light, the light rays that enter through one glass window of the greenhouse 11 or the light source 1
The same cultivation can be achieved even if the amount of irradiation of artificial light rays from 8 is discounted by that amount.
It is also possible to prevent the temperature of the greenhouse 11 from rising by restricting the natural light that enters through the glass window 1, and to reduce the scale of the light source 18 and at the same time reduce the amount of energy used by the light source 18. Greenhouse 11 even by shrinking
temperature rise will be suppressed.

According to the above embodiment, not only the equipment for the light source 18 can be made small, but also the energy consumption can be reduced, and the air conditioning equipment for cooling the greenhouse 11 and its energy consumption can also be small, which is very effective. It is a means.

Although the present invention has been explained using the support 14 in FIG. 2, only the V strain is implanted in one support.

A rosary in which beads are planted in a row on a single long and narrow support.

Some are implanted with beads in a staggered pattern on a single support, others are implanted with stocks arranged in a lattice pattern on a single plate, etc.
Although there are various types of supports, the purpose is the same regardless of the type of support.

Furthermore, although the explanation has been made assuming that the reflector 15 is attached to the support 14, the reflector 15 may be formed by attaching a metal vapor-deposited film to the support 14, or by directly vapor-depositing a metal onto the support 14. be. Furthermore, the reflector 15 of the support 14 may be replaced by a plated one.

Furthermore, although a spacing piece may be provided between the supports, the same effect can be obtained by providing a reflector above the spacing piece. In this case, the spacing piece can be regarded as a part of the support, and only becomes a spacing piece when a part of the support is separated, and in the present invention, it does not matter whether the support is integral or separable. Therefore, all of these are treated as supports in the present invention.

According to the present invention, it is possible to utilize light that is not directly irradiated to plants, and the amount of light irradiation itself can be reduced, resulting in energy savings and the effect of reducing plant cultivation costs.
