BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Fig. 1 illustrates the first invention, in which (1) is a long pipe disposed obliquely. The inclination direction of the long pipe (1) may be inclined up and down because the culture fluid naturally flows down, and the inclination angle is adjustable, and the flow rate of the culture solution is adjusted according to the inclination angle. The length of the long pipe 1 is not specifically limited. The material of the long pipe (1) may be metal, synthetic resin, thick recycled paper, bamboo, wood, etc. Among them, synthetic resin, thick recycled paper is more preferable from the viewpoint of ease of manufacture and cost, and more preferably synthetic resin, which is weather resistant in double. Is good. If the long pipe (1) is cylindrical, the diameter is preferably in the range of 65 ~ 100mm.

(2) is a several hole provided in the long pipe | tube 1, and the installation position of a hole should just be formed so that it may be lined up. When installing, it arrange | positions so that several holes 2 may be provided in the upper surface side of the long pipe 1 so that sunlight may be irradiated. The interval of the hole 2 is installed so that the plant cultivation can be substantially equidistantly spaced apart.

(3) is a short tube for plant growth formed by filling the medium (4) and is attached to each of the holes (2). The material of the short pipe 3 should just be the same as the material of the long pipe 1. The lower end 3a of the short pipe 3 may be provided with the net which is not shown in order to be able to support the medium 4.

(4) is a medium, for example, it is formed of rock wool, glass wool, urethane foam, huntan, sand and the like used for hydroponic cultivation.

(5) is a plant grown in the medium (4).

In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, the culture fluid flow path 6 is formed so as to naturally flow between the lower end surface 3a of the short pipe 3 and the inner surface of the long pipe 1.

(7) is a header tube for supplying a culture solution, (8) is a hose, and (9) is a supply port for supplying a culture solution.

Therefore, when the culture solution is supplied from the supply port 9, the culture solution is always supplied to the root of the plant 5 extending to the culture solution passage 6 by naturally flowing down through the culture solution passage 6.

At this time, it is important that the amount of the culture solution supplied is small enough that the roots of the plant 5 are moist. This is because the roots are more likely to absorb oxygen from the air and the roots are healthy.

The cultivation device of the present invention is characterized in that a plurality of long pipes 1 are arranged on an inclined surface. One or two or more inclined surfaces may be provided as long as sunlight is irradiated.

In this way, when a plurality of long pipes (1) are arranged on the inclined surface, the yield per unit area of the land can be increased, and even if the height is low, such as strawberries, it is possible to work in a comfortable posture because it is not necessary to bend the ground and work.

In addition, since the amount of sunlight irradiation is constant for each crop, it has the effect of cultivating even-quality ones.

In the cultivation apparatus of the present invention, the culture medium can be circulated, thereby reducing the cost. In addition, since the short pipe (3) is removable, it is very easy to install or detach the seedlings, such as strawberries in the growing device.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a pump for supplying a culture solution, and the culture solution supplied from the tank 12 by the pump 13 is sent to the header tube 7 through a supply port through a hose 8 similarly to the apparatus shown in FIG. In 9) it is fed into the canal (1) and flows naturally in the canal (1) so that the culture is always sent to the root of each plant.

The culture liquid which naturally flowed down in the plurality of long pipes 1 is collected in the discharge pipe 14 and returned to the tank 12 again.

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, since the inclination angle of the long tube and the inclination angle of the inclined surface are substantially the same, the flow rate of the culture liquid is controlled by the inclination angle of the inclined surface.

In this embodiment, in addition to the effect of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, there is an effect of increasing the cultivation area and facilitating circulation of the culture solution.

Moreover, since the discharge pipe 14 also serves as the said long side 10a, it has an effect which contributes to reducing cost.

Furthermore, the culture medium is preferably supplied upstream from the uppermost hole 2 provided in each of the long pipes 1, and the culture solution must be supplied to the root of the plant grown in the medium located first.

It is also desirable to reduce the cost of the upper support 11 to serve as the header tube (7).

In the present invention, the frame body and the upper support have the same configuration as in the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, but may be in a state in which the excretion of the long pipe 1 disposed on the two inclined surfaces is changed in the so-called horizontal direction. Is called.)

Since the horizontal direction is controlled by the combination of the angle of the inclined plane and the inclination of the long pipe among the inclined planes to control the flow rate of the culture medium, the inclined angle and the naturally flowing speed do not correspond to the state shown in FIG. 3. to be.
