Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a pellet house, particularly a pellet house most suitable for cultivating melons, etc.

As is well known, a pellet house consists of transparent double walls for the roof, side walls, etc. During the day, solar radiation is guided into the house to absorb heat, and at night, heat insulating pellets such as expanded polystyrene particles are inserted between the double walls. However, since a large amount of pellets are required and the pellets are bulky, a pellet storage tank with a large capacity is required, which necessitates the installation of a large pellet tank. For this reason, the pellet tank occupied a large space on the premises and had the disadvantage that it shaded the houses in other buildings. In particular, in the pellet houses 31, 31 for cultivating melons as shown in Fig. 1, the ridge height is formed so that the bottom is the ridge length.
Since the amount of pellets used is large, the pellet tank 32 becomes large, and the influence of the shade 33 becomes more serious.
On the other hand, such pellet houses for cultivating melons, etc. are of the east-west type, and are installed in multiple buildings, so a predetermined interval of 34 (usually about 5 m) is kept between each house (usually about 5 m) to take into account the sunlight of neighboring houses. It is provided.

Therefore, in this invention, in order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional pellet house, we effectively utilize the open space between the above-mentioned pellet houses and install a pellet tank here, and by devising its height, shape, etc. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a pellet house that does not obstruct sunlight.

An embodiment of the present invention will be explained based on FIGS. 2 to 4. In the figure, 1 is a pellet house for cultivating melons, which has multiple buildings installed in the form of east and west buildings, with roofs 2, 3, side walls 4, 5 is composed of transparent double walls 6, 6', and pellets are filled between the double walls from a supply duct 7 provided in the ridge, and the pellets are collected via a collection duct 8 provided at the bottom of the side wall. It is designed to be collected into a pellet tank. Generally, greenhouses for cultivating melons are relatively low, and there is usually a gap of about 5 m between pellet houses, but in the embodiment of the present invention, the greenhouses are cut downward from the middle of the roof 3 on the north side. A site space 9 is formed by leaving a space of about 5 m between the north side wall 5 and the south side wall 4' of the adjacent house 1'. A pellet tank 10 for the pellet house 1 is installed on the above-mentioned site space 9, and its height is set within the range of the shade 11 of the pellet house 1, and the roof part 12 of the pellet tank is connected to the north roof 3 of the pellet house 1.
It is formed with a slope corresponding to the slope of
The pellet tank 10 is designed not to obstruct sunlight to the adjacent house 1.

The bottom part 13 of the pellet tank must be inclined in the direction of the conveying air pipe 14, so it must be installed at a certain height, and if the roof part 12 is sloped as described above, the volume will be increased. However, in the embodiment of this invention, the north part of the house is cut out as described above.
By arranging the cut portion along the longitudinal direction, a sufficient volume can be obtained.
Therefore, the house and the pellet tank can be installed close to each other, which is more advantageous than in the past when it comes to routing pipes and ducts for transportation or collection.

If the pellet tank is installed horizontally along the longitudinal direction of the house, the tank itself becomes elongated, so as shown in Fig. 3, the desired number of compartments 10a and 10b may be provided, each with an outlet. A plurality of outlet ports 15 are provided, and each outlet port is provided with a flap valve 16. This flap valve 1
6 is a joint 17 between the air pipe 14 and the outlet 15;
Inside the flap valve 16, a fulcrum 16a is provided at the mouth edge 19 on the side of the blower 18, and the flap valve 16 is connected to the outlet 15 via links 20 and 21.
It is supported by an adjustment shaft 22 passed through the
The adjustment shaft 22 is maintained at a predetermined position by a cam, a ratchet mechanism, or other appropriate means. Therefore, by rotating the adjusting shaft 22 from the outside, the flap valve 16 moves up and down about the fulcrum 16a, and when it is closed as shown by the broken line, the supply of pellets is stopped.
Incidentally, reference numeral 15a is an inclined wall provided on the front side of the outlet 15 so that a wide pellet supply opening 23 can be obtained without lowering the flap valve 16 too much.

As a result of the above configuration, the conveying air flowing in the direction of the arrow in the air supply pipe 14 is throttled by the flap valve 16 which also serves as a guide, and therefore a reduced pressure is generated near the pellet supply port 23, so that the pellets falling from the tank 10 are It enters the air pipe in a suctioned state and is carried by the carrier wind. In this case, the amount of pellets supplied can be controlled by adjusting the opening degree of the flap valve 16 by rotating the adjusting shaft 22 that projects outside. Pellet flap valve 16
Although the pellets are supplied by sliding down the top, even when the flap valve 16 is in a horizontal state, the presence of the inclined wall 15a keeps the pellet supply port 23 open, so that pellets can be supplied, and the pellet load in the tank and the above-mentioned The pressure reduction effect at the supply port 23 allows for accurate supply.

By providing a plurality of outlet ports 15 as described above and providing flap valves 16 for each of these ports, for example, only the first outlet port can be opened to supply pellets, and this portion (or tank) will be free of pellets. and close this and supply from the second outlet,
etc. can also be controlled.

According to the pellet house of the present invention, the pellet tank is installed in the open space between the pellet houses, and its height is set within the shaded area of the house, and the roof of the pellet tank is connected to the roof of the house. Because they are formed in the same direction and slope, the site space can be used effectively, and there is no risk of blocking sunlight to neighboring houses, allowing sufficient sunlight to enter neighboring houses. can be set. Also,
The pellet tank is easy to install because it is located at a low location, and it is also advantageous in terms of installation cost. Therefore, the house is not high and is ideal for pellet houses for cultivating melons, which are often of the east-west wing type.
