Description

Planting device {PLANT CULTIVATION DEVICE}

The present invention relates to a cultivation apparatus for cultivating a variety of plants, such as vegetables, fruits, flowers at a position higher than the ground.

Cultivation of crops, such as strawberries, has been practiced in so-called land cultivation, where seedlings are planted and grown along the fields formed on the ground of the plantation. A series of tasks from seedling to harvesting are stunted or crouched. There is much work, and it is work with physical burden such as transportation of seedling. In order to improve such working conditions, improvement of the seedling container is carried out, or a cultivation device for cultivating by installing the cultivation container higher than the ground and cultivating it is installed above the ground surface.

The present applicant has developed a container for seedlings in which the amount of cultured soil is reduced as a container for seedlings such as strawberries, and the root growth is good, and is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-34437. In addition, a holding device for holding the container for raising seedlings and the like has been developed and disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 6-16495. The cultivation apparatus as shown in FIG. 6 can be formed by combining this container for seedlings, a holding apparatus, etc.

In Fig. 6, 80 is a holding device, 81 is a frame of the holding device, 82 is a support of the holding device, 91 is a cylindrical container for seedlings with a narrow front, and 92 is an auxiliary device for supplying water and fertilizer. By raising the seedlings in the plurality of seedling containers 91 held by the holding device 80, it is possible to improve the efficiency of the seedling work and to improve the working conditions.

In addition, the present applicant has developed a technology for installing and holding a cultivation vessel connected to a plurality of container bodies by a connecting member on a mount, and is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-298870.

7 is a perspective view of a cultivation apparatus disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. Hei 8-298870, and the like. The cultivation container 95 continuously forms a part of the upper end of a container body made of 10 synthetic resins and has 10 container bodies ( The container main body groups 97a and 97b which connected 96 in linear form are formed, and the upper part of this container main body group 97a and 97b is connected by the connection member 98. As shown in FIG. Each container main body 96 is a cylindrical container which has a circular cross section and has a taper of a narrow front shape.

The connecting member 98 is integrally formed with the container main body groups 97a and 97b in a form extending from one side of the flange of the upper end of the container main body groups 97a and 97b, and the hanging frame 99 of the holding device. It is formed in the shape of a square bent upward in accordance with the shape of).

The cultivation apparatus shown in Fig. 7 can be employed in the case where there is no problem even when the cultivation vessels are arranged in close proximity, and since a plurality of portions of the conventional cultivation container can be placed at one hanging position in one hanging operation, The hanging work of the growing container can be streamlined.

In the case of the cultivation apparatus shown in Figs. 6 and 7, it is necessary to install a holding device composed of props and a frame on the ground and set the cultivation container, which is cumbersome for installation work, and a lot of trouble in the withdrawal work after the cultivation period. And I'm spending time.

In addition, since the cultivation container has any shape of a single container or a connecting container, since the work of filling the culture soil into the container needs to be performed for each cultivation container, a large amount of time is required when filling the cultivation soil into a plurality of cultivation containers in large-scale cultivation. And effort is required.

In addition, in the conventional cultivation apparatus, since the size of the cultivation container that can be employed is almost determined, it is practically impossible to change the amount of cultivated soil according to the type of plant to be grown, the climate of the cultivation site, or the method of management work. In addition, since the conventional cultivation container has a narrow cylindrical shape or a cylindrical shape, the filling and discharging work of the cultured soil is cumbersome, and in particular, when the cultured soil is filled, the filling work is remarkable unless the so-called cultured soil is not used. It becomes difficult.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a cultivation device to facilitate the filling and discharging of the culture soil, and to control the increase and decrease of the amount of the culture soil, and to activate the growth state.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a cultivation apparatus having a culture soil receiving portion for receiving the culture soil and a support means for supporting the culture soil receiving portion in the standing state on the ground, wherein the culture soil receiving portion is fixed in the standing state on the ground. And a movable wall material which is disposed in an inclined state opposite the wall material and the fixed wall material, and whose spacing from the fixed wall material is changeable.

With this configuration, a continuous groove-shaped culture soil receiving portion is formed between the fixed wall material and the movable wall material, so that the filling and discharging work of the culture soil becomes easy, and the distance between the movable wall material and the fixed wall material is changed. Since the volume of the cultured soil receiving portion can be changed, it is possible to adjust the increase and decrease of the amount of cultured soil used. Moreover, since the movable wall material is arrange | positioned in the inclined state facing the fixed wall material, and it is possible to hold the cultured soil filled in the culture soil containing part in inclined state, it is possible to maintain the seedling in the inclined state, so that the root sticking becomes better. The growth state of strawberry seedlings etc. can be activated.

In this case, the surface of the cultured soil filled in the culture soil receiving portion can be kept in an inclined state by having the upper edge of the movable wall positioned below the upper edge of the fixed wall, so that the plant seedlings are kept in the inclined state. It becomes possible and can further activate the growth state of plant seedlings.

Moreover, while providing the hinge part which can be bend | folded to a movable wall material, and the structure which provided the hinge fixing member which sets the angle of bending of a hinge part, while maintaining the area of the culture soil surface filled in a culture soil accommodation part uniformly, Since it is possible to change the volume of the culture soil receiving portion, it is possible to set the fine culture soil usage in accordance with the type of plants to be grown and various growing conditions.

In addition, by providing a horizontal support shaft pivotably supporting the culture soil container, it is possible to rotate the culture soil container around the horizontal support shaft, thus facilitating the discharge of culture soil after the cultivation period, as well as burdock, When harvesting roots such as radish, harvesting can be made more efficient. In the case of strawberry cultivation, once the culture soil container is tilted and returned to its original position, the fruit of the strawberry can be exposed in a certain direction, the fruit picking can be efficiently performed, and the horizontal support supporting the culture soil container in a rotatable manner. The inclination and return of this culture soil container can be easily performed by providing the shaft.

Here, the fixed wall member and the movable wall member may be formed of a foamed synthetic resin sheet or a corrugated synthetic resin sheet, and by adopting the foamed synthetic resin sheet, it is possible to form a culture soil receiving portion having a light weight and excellent thermal insulation and heat insulation, and to form a corrugated synthetic resin sheet. By employing it, a cultured soil accommodating portion which is not deformed at some time due to the pressure of the cultured soil can be formed.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiment of this invention is described based on drawing. 1 is a perspective view showing a cultivation apparatus as an embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the cultivation apparatus.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cultivation apparatus 10 of the present embodiment supports the culture soil receiving portion 12 that can accommodate the culture soil 11 and the culture soil receiving portion 12 in a standing state on the ground 14. Supporting members 15, 16, 17 and the like. The culture soil receiving portion 12 has a substantially V-shaped longitudinal section, and is movable to the fixed wall material 18 held in an upright state on the ground 14 and the movable wall material 19 disposed in an inclined state opposite to the fixed wall material 18. It is comprised by the movable wall material 19, and the space | interval with the fixed wall material 18 is changeable.

In this case, since the connection part of the fixed wall material 18 and the movable wall material 19 which are located in the lower end of the culture-earth accommodation part 12 is formed with the flexible member 20 which has water permeability and air permeability, it is a flexible member. The distance between the movable wall material 19 and the fixed wall material 18 can be changed by tilting the movable wall material 19 around 20.

Moreover, since the movable wall material 19 is comprised by the upper movable wall material 19a and the lower movable wall material 19b connected by the hinge part 21 formed from the flexible material, the movable wall material 19 is the hinge part 21 It is possible to bend around the center.

With such a structure, in the culture soil 11 filled in the culture soil container accommodating part 12, cultivation of strawberry seedlings 22 etc. can be performed, for example. Since the flexible member 20 has water permeability and air permeability, excess water is discharged through the flexible member 20, and it is possible to maintain the water content of the culture soil 11 appropriately.

In this way, in the cultivation apparatus 10, since the continuous groove-like culture soil receiving portion 12 is formed between the fixed wall material 18 and the movable wall material 19, the filling and discharging work of the culture soil 11 is performed. Since the volume of the cultured soil accommodating part 12 can be changed by changing the distance between the movable wall 18 and the fixed wall 19, the amount of cultured soil can be adjusted according to the type of plant to be grown.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, since the movable wall material 19 is arrange | positioned in the inclined state facing the fixed wall material 18, it is preferable to keep the cultured soil 11 filled in the culture soil containing part 12 in inclination state. It is possible. Therefore, by maintaining the seedlings in the inclined state, it is possible to activate the growth state of strawberry seedlings 22 and the like such that the rooting of the roots improves.

In addition, in the case of the cultivation device 10, the upper edge 19c of the movable wall material 19 is disposed below the upper edge 18a of the fixed wall material 18, and the culture soil receiving portion 12 is filled. Since the surface 11a of the culture soil 11 can be kept in an inclined state, it is possible to keep the whole strawberry seedling 22 in an inclined state, further activating the growth state of the strawberry seedlings 22, and increasing yields. Can improve quality.

Moreover, the hinge part 21 which can be folded and bent to the movable wall material 19 is provided, and the support member 17 is provided as a hinge fixing member for determining the angle to bend the hinge part 21. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 3, it is possible to change the volume of the culture soil receiving portion 12 while keeping the area of the culture soil surface 11a filled in the culture soil receiving portion 12 constant, and the type of plant to be grown. And fine culture soil usage according to various growing conditions.

In the cultivation apparatus 10, as shown in Fig. 4, the support member 17 serves as a hinge fixing member, which serves as a horizontal support shaft that supports the culture soil receiving portion 12 so as to be rotatable. It is possible to tilt and move the culture soil receiving unit 12 around the center. Therefore, it is possible to easily carry out the operation of cultivating the soil on the culture soil receiving portion 12 upside down around the support member 17 after the end of the cultivation period.

In addition, when the roots such as burdock and radish are cultivated using the cultivation apparatus 10, the culture soil 11 is discharged when the culture soil 11 is discharged by tilting the culture soil receiving portion 12 around the support member 17 at the harvest time. Harvesting of roots grown in (11) can be performed efficiently.

In addition, in the case of cultivating strawberry seedlings 22 using the cultivation device 10, once the culture soil receiving portion 12 is tilted to return to the original position, the fruit 25 of the strawberry seedlings 22 as shown in FIG. ) Can be exposed in a certain direction, so that the so-called releasing operation can be performed efficiently. In this case, as shown in FIG. 1, when the rope 26 is provided in a tight direction along the installation direction of the strawberry seedlings 22, when the culture soil container 12 is inclined, the ropes 26 of the strawberry seedlings 22 Since the leaves and stems are prevented from tilting, only the fruits 25 of the strawberry seedlings 22 can be exposed, and the fruit picking operation can be more efficient.

Here, in the cultivation apparatus 10, the fixed wall material 18 and the movable wall material 19 can form the culture-earth accommodating part 12 which is lightweight, heat insulation, and excellent heat insulation for forming with foamed synthetic resin board material. In addition, when the corrugated synthetic resin plate material is used as the material of the fixed wall material 18 and the movable wall material 19 instead of the foamed synthetic resin plate material, it is possible to form a cultured soil accommodating part which is hardly deformed by the pressure of the cultured soil.

In addition, at the end of the cultivation apparatus 10, as shown in Fig. 5, the support members 15, 16 and 17 are formed by the struts 27 and 28 and the horizontal bar members 29 and 30 which are erected on the ground 14, respectively. It is supported. In addition, since the end portions of the fixed wall material 18 and the movable wall material 19 are closed by the end cover member 31, the culture soil receiving portion 12 can be held in a constant shape, and leakage of the culture soil 11 also occurs. I never do that.

As described above, by cultivating the strawberry seedlings 22 using the cultivation apparatus 10, the filling and discharging operation of the culture soil 11 is facilitated, and the increase and decrease of the amount of culture soil usage is also possible, and the strawberry seedlings 22 Since it is possible to activate the growth state of), the yield can be increased and the fruit 25 can be improved in quality.

In the present embodiment, the case where the cultivation of the strawberry seedlings 22 is carried out using the cultivation apparatus 10 has been described. However, the use of the cultivation apparatus of the present invention is not limited thereto. It is possible to employ widely in the cultivation of various plants such as flowers.

The following effects can be exhibited by the present invention.

Since the work becomes easy and the space between the movable wall and the fixed wall can be changed, the volume of the cultured soil container can be changed, so that the amount of cultured soil used can be increased or decreased. In addition, since it is possible to keep the cultured soil filled in the cultured soil accommodating portion in an inclined state, by maintaining the seedlings in the inclined state, it is possible to activate the growth state of strawberry seedlings and the like which have improved root adhesion.

(2) Since the upper edge of the movable wall is positioned below the upper edge of the fixed wall, the surface of the cultured soil filled in the culture soil receiving portion can be kept in an inclined state, thereby maintaining the entire plant seedling in an inclined state. It becomes possible and can further activate the growth state of plant seedlings.

(3) The structure of the surface of the cultured soil filled in the culture soil receiving portion is maintained by providing a hinge portion that can be folded and bent on the movable wall material, and a hinge fixing member for defining the angle of bending of the hinge portion. In addition, since the volume of the culture soil container can be changed, it is possible to set the fine culture soil usage in accordance with the type of plants to be grown and various growing conditions.

(4) By providing a horizontal support shaft pivotably supporting the culture soil container, the culture soil container can be rotated around the horizontal support shaft, thereby making it easier to discharge the culture soil after the end of the growing season. When harvesting roots such as fruits and vegetables, harvesting can be made more efficient. In strawberry cultivation, when the culture soil container is inclined once and returned to its original posture to expose the fruit of the strawberry in a predetermined direction, the culture soil container can be inclined and returned easily.

(5) By forming the fixed wall material and the movable wall material into the foamed resin board material, it is possible to form a light and warm insulation, heat insulation, inexpensive and reusable culture soil receiving part, and it is formed by the corrugated synthetic resin board material and hardly affected by the pressure of the culture soil. It is possible to form a culture soil receiving portion that does not deform.
