Description

{Case for growing root crops}

The present invention relates to a root crop cultivation frame capable of easily cultivating and harvesting root crops with straight roots extending deep into the ground.

Root crops such as white succulents, rhododendrons, bellflowers, and licorice have well-developed main roots and extend straight down into the ground.

In consideration of this, as shown in FIG. 1, when the soil of the cultivation site is ground, countless ridges and furrows are made, and the soil is thickly piled up by sowing seeds of root crops, planting seedlings, or planting seedlings and then harvesting their roots. It is not necessary to dig vertically as much as the height of the ridge, so the roots can be collected that much easier.

However, since the thickly piled up ridges naturally settle down due to wind and rain over time, there is almost no difference in height between the ridges and furrows at the time of harvest. The reality is that it is impossible to collect using heavy equipment as shown in FIG. 2 .

Therefore, there is a problem in that the production cost increases due to the use of heavy equipment, and the roots are damaged by excavation of the heavy equipment during extraction, so that defective products are mass-produced, thereby reducing the production.

The prior patent document 1 for a root crop rearrangement is Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2014-226130, which was published on December 08, 2014. This patent document relates to a potted plant having a conical shape of upward and downward light and excellent root growth of plants. A portion 10, a bottom portion 20 having a hole 23 for fixing the container portion located at the lower end of the container portion 10, and a fixing portion for screwing the container portion 10 and the bottom portion 20 ( 30), a flowerpot consisting of a saucer portion 40 is disclosed (Figs. 1 to 2, paragraphs 15 to 20).

However, the prior patent document 1 is a flowerpot used for landscaping, and the lower part of the container part 10 must be the bottom part 20 so that the plant can fill the soil inside the container part 10 forming the body when in use. is blocked with Therefore, when used for agriculture for root crop cultivation as in the present invention, the bottom portion 20 buried in the soil filled in the pot cannot be separated, so the container portion 10 itself cannot be lifted while leaving the soil as it is. It is impossible to use it for the purpose of collecting roots as in the present invention. As described above, the landscaping pot with the lower part blocked to accommodate the soil is incomparable with the present invention in that the lower part is opened and the root can be easily lifted up to collect the roots.

Another prior patent document 2 is Patent Publication No. 10-2014-0013583, which was published on February 05, 2014. In the case of Patent Document 2, it is also a prefabricated flowerpot, and a flange portion 112 of a predetermined width is provided along the periphery of the planting space portion 110, and the flange portion 112 has a position fixing groove 114 having an open side. ) is provided to be spaced apart, and it is described that the support rod 130 can be inserted and fixed.

However, in the case of Patent Document 2 as well, as a flowerpot used for landscaping, the lower part thereof is blocked to fill the soil, so there is a problem that it cannot be lifted like Patent Document 1 when collecting the roots, thereby reducing the purpose and configuration of use. It will be markedly contrasted with the present invention. Furthermore, it is determined that it is difficult to derive the pin hole of the present invention from the position fixing groove 114 formed in the flange portion 112 .

In the prior patent documents as described above, the object is a flowerpot, and since these flowerpots have a bottom surface, they cannot be removed unless the soil filled inside is turned upside down. , since the present invention does not have a bottom surface, it is simply separated from the soil by lifting it up as it is without turning it upside down.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2014-226130 Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2014-0013583

Hereinafter, the configuration of the root crop rearrangement according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in the figure, the root crop rearrangement according to the present invention provides a place for roots to grow deeply by filling the soil thick inside, and by simply lifting and exposing the accumulated soil at the time of root harvesting, the exposed soil is cut through the roots. It makes harvesting easier.

More specifically, as shown in Figs. 3 to 9, the root crop cultivation frame 1 of the present invention includes a body 10 having an inclined surface so that a wider cultivation space S passes from the top to the bottom;

an upper flange 20 extending in the horizontal direction from the upper end edge of the body 10; and

and a lower flange 30 extending outwardly from the lower end edge of the body 10 .

Since the body 10 has to repeatedly cultivate root crops, it is preferable to be made of a material that is strong and does not corrode well. For example, wood or synthetic resin may be used, and any suitable material applicable to the present invention may be used in addition to that.

When the body 10 is lifted to the upper part when collecting the roots, the part to which the soil is adhered is smooth so as not to be disturbed by the soil filled therein. And since the cultivation space (S) is formed wider toward the lower part, the upper part is narrow and the lower part is wide. Therefore, the body 10 forms an inclined surface in an outwardly open shape from the upper part to the lower part. Since the body 10 has a narrow upper part and a wide lower part, its cross-section becomes a trapezoidal shape. The overall shape of the body 10 may include a polygon of more than a circle and a triangle, and the figure shows a quadrangle as an embodiment.

An upper flange 20 is formed on the upper edge of the body 10 . The upper flange 20 extends horizontally, and may extend horizontally toward the outside of the cultivation space (S) area or the cultivation space (S). In the drawings of the present specification, it is shown extending to the cultivation space (S) area. The upper flange 20 is configured like a band and reinforces the strength of the upper edge. In addition, the pin hole 21 is further formed in the upper flange 20 as shown in FIGS. 8 to 9 . The pin hole 21 is inserted with a pin (P) for fixing the covering member when the soil is covered and fixed using a covering member (not shown) such as vinyl so that weeds do not grow in the soil filled in the cultivation space (S). to make it possible The pin hole 21 may be configured in various forms according to the shape and assembly position of the pin P, and the quantity may also be selectively determined.

In addition, the upper flange 20 further extends the handle holding member 22 in the lower direction as shown in FIG. 7 . The gripping member 22 is caught when a bent finger is inserted as shown in the figure, and the grip is easily extended downward, and it is good to be installed all over the inner circumference of the upper flange 20 so that it can be gripped anywhere.

A lower flange 30 is formed on the lower edge of the body 10 . The lower flange 30 extends outwardly from the lower end edge of the body 10 to have a band-like shape and reinforce the strength of the lower edge. The lower flange 30 has a hole 31 for accommodating the fixture T for fixing the present invention to the installation location as shown in FIG. You can choose.

Meanwhile, in the body 10 of the present invention, a drainage hole 11 may be penetrated in the upper portion of the body 10 as shown in FIGS. 9 and 12 so that stagnant water in the soil filled in the cultivation space S can be discharged to the outside. If it rains for a long time during the rainy season, the soil has already absorbed enough rainwater, so rainwater that continues to fall is not absorbed into the soil layer, but accumulates in the upper part of the soil and is slowly absorbed into the soil. In this process, the roots may rot. In the present invention, since the drain hole 11 is penetrated in the upper part of the body 10, the stagnant water not absorbed into the soil is discharged to the outside through the drain hole 11, so that the root does not rot. Since the location of the drainage hole 11 cannot specify the soil surface cultivated in each farmhouse, a plurality of the drainage holes 11 may be penetrated in a multi-stage manner in the height direction. The drain hole may be opened and closed with a stopper 12 .

The lower flange 30 of the present invention has a hole 31 for accommodating the fixture T for fixing the rearrangement 1 to the soil is further penetrated. When the soil is filled in the cultivation space (S) by using a heavy equipment such as a fork crane, the cultivation frame (1) can be moved from a designated place by the soil poured at once. To prevent this, a fixture inserted into the hole (31) ( It is good to fix the rear frame 1 using T).

In addition, in the present invention, the guide groove 32 may be further penetrated through the lower flange 30 and the fork of the forklift into the body 10 adjacent to the lower flange 30 . It is preferable that the recast 1 of the present invention be manufactured to have a size and weight that can be handled by a single operator, and may be manufactured in a large size when using heavy equipment such as a forklift. Of course, heavy equipment can also be used in the case of a retool that can be handled by a single worker.

When the forklift 1 of the present invention is handled using a forklift, when the protruding fork of the forklift is inserted into the guide groove 32, the rearplane 1 is constrained by the fork, so it moves and transports according to the movement of the fork; Handling such as unloading and storage can be simplified.

13 shows the use state of the root crop rearrangement frame 1 according to the present invention. In this state, in a state in which the root crop cultivation frame 1 is fixed to the soil by using the fixture T, the soil is thickly filled in the cultivation space S, and then the root crop is grown so that the roots are located in the cultivation space S area. It is shown that it has grown to the deepest part of the inner soil.

14 is a view of lifting the cultivation frame 1 of the present invention to harvest the roots of the cultivated root crop. Unlike the cited inventions, since the lower part is open, the present invention can be easily lifted manually or using heavy equipment.

15 shows that the cultivation frame 1 of the present invention is completely removed from the root crop and the soil formed thickly filled in the cultivation space S protrudes in an exposed state. Since the protruding soil is exposed as shown in FIG. 11 , the worker can easily dig through it and manually collect the roots located inside. At this time, since the protruding soil from which the rearrangement 1 is removed is exposed, especially all sides are exposed, it is easy to dig anywhere, and it is possible to easily collect roots. Since this point is in sharp contrast to the cited inventions, it can be said that the present invention has a great effect, and this is a matter to be considered decisively when judging the inventive step.

16 to 18 are photographs taken by the present applicant of actually cultivating baeksuo using the present invention. As shown in this photo, the cultivated white succulents grew healthy and had high leaves, and the target, the root, could be easily harvested without damage. For reference, since the root of the root crop is the target, the leaves that have grown tall at the time of collection are removed using a sickle, etc., and then the rearrangement frame 1 is lifted.

When the harvest of the root crops is finished, the rearrangement 1 of the present invention is stored in the warehouse. First, the worker grabs the handle gripping member 22 of the rearrangement 1 and lifts it up, and the rearrangement 1 in the thickly filled soil. ) is easily separated. Thereafter, holding the holding member 22 and stacking a plurality of rearrangements 1 as shown in FIGS. 19 to 20 , and then transporting them to the warehouse using a forklift, the storage operation is simply completed. At this time, the fork of the forklift inserts the guide grooves 32 to easily transport the stacked re-frames 1 .

The present invention, which is configured as described above, is capable of cultivating root crops by filling the cultivation space (S) with soil thick, and simply lifting the cultivation frame (1) when collecting the roots after cultivation to break through the exposed soil. Roots can be harvested easily, and above all, roots can be harvested without damage because the soil can be tamped while checking the roots with the naked eye. 11) to prevent the roots from rotting, thereby increasing the yield; Since the battle (1) can be stored in a stacked manner, it is also equipped with the convenience of storage, so it can be said that it is an invention with inventive step.

Furthermore, the present invention is not used as a storage container for storing soil or water like a potted plant, but because there is no bottom surface and can be easily separated from the soil, the soil is thickly filled inside to temporarily form ridges. Since it is used for a rearrangement or a forming mold, it is an invention with inventive step in this respect.
