Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Purpose of the Invention Field of commercial use...Conventional technology related to the field of hydroponic cultivation for growing vegetable seedlings...Conical arrangement The example is Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-20543 by Hondejijin.
The problem that the invention of No. 4 attempts to solve...
...Means for solving the problem of the composition of the invention where less air is mixed in while the nutrient water is flowing down...Corrugated pipe 1'C
When the nutrient water flows down the pipe, it is stirred by the corrugated protrusions on the inside of the pipe and aeration is mixed in. Air is mixed into the nutrient water and the seedlings grow. Example FIG. 1 shows a commercially available corrugated tube made of flexible synthetic resin and having an outer diameter of about 60 rn for use in the present invention. In FIG. 3, 7 is the protruding part. In FIG. 3, 1 is a conical case, and 2 is its supporting shaft. The conical cases are connected by 13. 4j Store nutrient water 5 in the water tank 6 is a support rod protruding at a suitable place on the outer surface of the conical case, and a corrugated pipe T is spanned over this and rotates downward from the top in a spiral pattern. The top of the corrugated pipe, which is arranged along the outer surface of the conical case and forms the hydroponic tank, serves as a receiving box 8, and the water supply f from the water pump P is connected to the top of the corrugated pipe.
Receives water supply (nourishment) from the tip of 9. In addition, the wave and q
The lower end becomes the water pipe 15 and receives water P? j4) ζ Drain.

Note that 10.16 is a cook.

The intake pipe 11 of the pump P is provided with a cock 12 at an appropriate position.
A hole 14 is provided at an appropriate position in the corrugated pipe fixed slightly above the inner bottom of the water receiving tank 4 to take in water from the water receiving tank 4, and the vegetable seedlings 13 are inserted into the hole 14. Because of this structure, vegetables are planted on the sloped surface of the corrugated pipe, and water is supplied from water tank 4 to pump P.
The water is pumped up from the water pipe 9, passes through the receiving box 8 of the corrugated pipe T, and flows down while purifying the vegetable seedlings through the hydroponic tank, which is a corrugated pipe, to the drain pipe 15. If they are arranged in a shape and the center point P is raised directly above them, they will naturally form a conical shape.

In this case, since it is a corrugated tube, it will not be bent in a hurry, and if adjacent corrugated tubes in the appropriate places are tied together with a needle rest, it will form a strong conical shape. The conical case 1 and support rod 6 as shown above are unnecessary.

Effects of the Invention Since the inside of the corrugated tube also has corrugated irregularities, the nutrient water flows down while being stirred, and air is mixed in, resulting in a good seedling formation. ″
Additionally, the lip effect of the corrugated tube allows it to maintain a stable conical shape without suddenly bending.
