However, the technique of Patent Document 1 has the following problems (i) and (ii).
(I) Since it is necessary to arrange an air duct corresponding to each of the plurality of cultivation containers arranged in the vertical direction, the equipment configuration becomes complicated. In particular, in the case of a large-scale plant cultivation facility in which a large number of cultivation shelves in which a plurality of cultivation containers are arranged in the vertical direction are arranged in the horizontal direction, it is necessary to provide a large number of air ducts, which greatly increases the facility cost.
(Ii) When the wind directly hits the plant, the plant is stressed and adversely affects the growth of the plant. In particular, the growth is likely to be hindered in the case of plants with low resistance to wind such as straw.
 本発明は、上記の問題点に鑑みて成されたものであり、その目的は、設備構成を複雑化させることなく、また植物に風による悪影響を与えることなく、植物周囲の温度上昇を抑制することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to suppress an increase in the temperature around the plant without complicating the equipment configuration and without adversely affecting the plant due to wind. There is.
 本発明の一態様にかかる植物栽培設備は、鉛直方向に沿って互いに間隔を隔てて配置された複数の栽培容器と、前記各栽培容器に対応して設けられた複数の照明装置とを備え、前記各照明装置は、鉛直方向に平行な断面における当該照明装置に対応する栽培容器との対向部の形状が、当該断面における前記栽培容器の水平方向の中心を通り鉛直方向に延伸する仮想直線から離れる方向に沿って下方に傾斜した形状であり、かつ、当該照明装置における前記仮想直線側の端部と当該照明装置に対応する栽培容器の上方に配置された他の栽培容器との間に空気が流れる隙間が設けられていることを特徴としている。 The plant cultivation facility according to one aspect of the present invention includes a plurality of cultivation containers arranged at intervals from each other along the vertical direction, and a plurality of lighting devices provided corresponding to the respective cultivation containers, Each of the lighting devices is from a virtual straight line in which the shape of the facing portion of the cross section parallel to the vertical direction with the cultivation container corresponding to the lighting device extends in the vertical direction through the center in the horizontal direction of the cultivation container in the cross section. Air between the end portion on the virtual straight line side in the lighting device and the other cultivation container disposed above the cultivation container corresponding to the lighting device in a shape inclined downward along the separating direction It is characterized in that a gap through which the gas flows is provided.
 上記の構成によれば、照明装置からの排熱により加熱された空気を当該照明装置に沿って上方へ導風し、当該照明装置と当該照明装置に対応する栽培容器の上方に配置された他の栽培容器との間の隙間を介してさらに上方へ逃すことができる。したがって、照明装置によって加熱された空気が栽培容器の直上の空間に滞留することを防止し、植物周囲の温度上昇を抑制することができる。また、上述した従来の技術のように、栽培容器毎に送風ダクトを設けて冷却空気を植物に吹き付ける必要がないので、設備構成を複雑化させることなく、また植物に風による悪影響を与えることなく、植物周囲の温度上昇を抑制することができる。 According to said structure, the air heated by the exhaust heat from an illuminating device guides upward along the said illuminating device, and the other arrange | positioned above the illuminating device and the cultivation container corresponding to the said illuminating device It is possible to escape further upward through a gap between the cultivation container. Therefore, it can prevent that the air heated by the illuminating device stays in the space immediately above a cultivation container, and can suppress the temperature rise around a plant. Moreover, since it is not necessary to provide a ventilation duct for every cultivation container and to blow cooling air to a plant like the conventional technique mentioned above, it does not make an equipment structure complicated, and does not have a bad influence by a wind on a plant. The temperature rise around the plant can be suppressed.

That is, the lighting device 30 is a straight line (virtual straight line) CL along the vertical direction in which the shape of the facing portion of the cross section parallel to the vertical direction with the cultivation container 20 passes through the horizontal center C of the cultivation container 20 in the cross section. It is the shape which inclined below along the direction away from. Moreover, each illumination lamp 31 is arrange | positioned so that the main-axis direction of emitted light may make an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the perpendicular direction. In addition, even if it is the structure which irradiates light from diagonally upward with respect to the plant cultivated with the cultivation container 20 from each illumination lamp 31, the light quantity required for the growth of a plant does not run short.
 また、各照明装置30における上記直線CLから遠い側の端部は、各栽培容器20に対して鉛直方向に重畳する領域(支柱部11aと支柱部11bとの対向領域)よりも外側に配置されている。 Moreover, the edge part on the side far from the said straight line CL in each illuminating device 30 is arrange | positioned outside the area | region (opposite area | region of the support | pillar part 11a and the support | pillar part 11b) superimposed on each cultivation container 20 in the perpendicular direction. ing.
 また、各照明装置30における上記直線CL側の端部と、当該照明装置30の上方に配置される栽培容器20(当該照明装置30が光を照射する栽培容器20の上方に配置された栽培容器20)との間には、所定間隔(本実施形態では30mm)の隙間が設けられている。なお、上記間隔は、栽培容器20上の空気を滞留させることなく上記隙間部分を通って上方へ流すことができる間隔であれば特に限定されるものではないが、栽培容器20上の空気を効率的に上方へ流すために、20mm以上であることが好ましく、30mm以上であることがより好ましい。 Moreover, the edge part by the side of the said straight line CL in each illuminating device 30, and the cultivation container 20 arrange | positioned above the said illuminating device 30 (The cultivation container arrange | positioned above the cultivation container 20 which the said illuminating device 30 irradiates light) 20), a gap having a predetermined interval (30 mm in the present embodiment) is provided. In addition, although the said space | interval is not specifically limited if it is a space | interval which can flow upwards through the said gap part, without stagnating the air on the cultivation container 20, the air on the cultivation container 20 is efficient. Therefore, in order to flow upward, it is preferably 20 mm or more, and more preferably 30 mm or more.
 また、本実施形態では、各照明装置30における上記直線CL側の端部に配置される照明灯31(最も上方に配置される照明灯31)と、当該照明装置30に対応する栽培容器(当該照明装置30が光を照射する栽培容器20)との間隔を300mmに設定している。ただし、上記間隔は、これに限るものではなく、栽培する植物の種類や成長度合等に応じて適宜変更してもよい。 Moreover, in this embodiment, the illuminating lamp 31 (illuminating lamp 31 arrange | positioned uppermost) arrange | positioned at the edge part by the side of the said straight line CL in each illuminating device 30, and the cultivation container (the said The space | interval with the cultivation container 20 which the illuminating device 30 irradiates light is set to 300 mm. However, the said interval is not restricted to this, You may change suitably according to the kind, growth degree, etc. of the plant to grow.
 天井排気チャンバ4は栽培室3の天井部に設けられるとともに、排気ファン5に接続されている。これにより、図1に矢印で示したように、空調装置1から床下空調チャンバ2および空調吹出口2aを介して栽培室3に供給された空気は、栽培棚10の近傍を通って栽培室3の天井へと流れ、天井排気部4aおよび天井排気チャンバ4を介して排気ファン5から植物栽培設備100の外部に排出される。なお、床下空調は、従来からオフィスなどで一般的に使われる空調方法であり、空調設計を容易に行うことができる。 The ceiling exhaust chamber 4 is provided on the ceiling of the cultivation room 3 and is connected to an exhaust fan 5. Thereby, as shown by the arrow in FIG. 1, the air supplied from the air conditioner 1 to the cultivation room 3 via the underfloor air conditioning chamber 2 and the air conditioning outlet 2 a passes through the vicinity of the cultivation shelf 10 and grows in the cultivation room 3. Then, the air is exhausted from the exhaust fan 5 to the outside of the plant cultivation facility 100 via the ceiling exhaust part 4 a and the ceiling exhaust chamber 4. Underfloor air-conditioning is an air-conditioning method that has been conventionally used in offices and the like, and allows easy air-conditioning design.

 図3の(a)は本実施形態にかかる栽培棚10の周囲の温度分布のシミュレーション結果を示す図であり、図3の(b)は図4に示す比較例にかかる栽培棚110の周囲の温度分布のシミュレーション結果を示す図である。図4の(a)は比較例にかかる栽培棚110の斜視図であり、図4の(b)は栽培棚110における鉛直方向に沿った断面(栽培容器20の延伸方向に垂直な断面)の断面図である。図4の(a)および(b)に示したように、栽培棚110は、各栽培容器20の直上の空間に、複数の照明灯31を水平方向に並べて配置した照明装置130を備えている。その他の構成は栽培棚10と略同様である。 (A) of FIG. 3 is a figure which shows the simulation result of the temperature distribution around the cultivation shelf 10 concerning this embodiment, (b) of FIG. 3 is the circumference of the cultivation shelf 110 concerning the comparative example shown in FIG. It is a figure which shows the simulation result of temperature distribution. (A) of FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the cultivation shelf 110 concerning a comparative example, (b) of FIG. 4 is the cross section (cross section perpendicular | vertical to the extending | stretching direction of the cultivation container 20) in the vertical direction in the cultivation shelf 110. FIG. It is sectional drawing. As shown to (a) and (b) of FIG. 4, the cultivation shelf 110 is provided with the illuminating device 130 which arranged the some illumination lamp 31 in the space directly above each cultivation container 20 in the horizontal direction. . Other configurations are substantially the same as the cultivation shelf 10.
 図3の(b)に示したように、比較例にかかる栽培棚110では、各照明装置130の排熱によって加熱された空気が栽培容器20の直上の空間(栽培容器20同士の間の空間)に滞留し、当該空間、すなわち植物が栽培される空間の温度が上昇する。 As shown in FIG. 3B, in the cultivation shelf 110 according to the comparative example, the air heated by the exhaust heat of each lighting device 130 is a space immediately above the cultivation container 20 (a space between the cultivation containers 20. ) And the temperature of the space, that is, the space where the plant is grown is increased.
 これに対して、本実施形態にかかる栽培棚10では、各照明装置30の排熱を、空気が加熱されることによって生じる上昇気流と床下空調設備(空調装置1、床下空調チャンバ2、および空調吹出口2a)によって供給される栽培室3の床面から上方へ向かう気流とにより、各照明装置30と当該照明装置30に対応する栽培容器20の上方に配置された他の栽培容器20との間の隙間から上方へ流すことができる。このため、図3の(a)に示したように、各栽培容器20の上方の空間(植物が栽培される空間)の温度上昇を抑制することができる。 On the other hand, in the cultivation shelf 10 according to the present embodiment, the exhaust heat of each lighting device 30 is generated by the upward air flow generated by heating the air and the underfloor air conditioning equipment (the air conditioner 1, the underfloor air conditioning chamber 2, and the air conditioner). Due to the upward air flow from the floor surface of the cultivation room 3 supplied by the blower outlet 2a), each of the lighting devices 30 and other cultivation containers 20 disposed above the cultivation container 20 corresponding to the lighting device 30. It can flow upward from the gap between them. For this reason, as shown to (a) of FIG. 3, the temperature rise of the space (space where a plant is cultivated) above each cultivation container 20 can be suppressed.
 以上のように、本実施形態にかかる植物栽培設備100は、鉛直方向に沿って互いに間隔を隔てて配置された複数の栽培容器20と、各栽培容器20で栽培される植物に光を照射するための、各栽培容器20に対応して設けられた複数の照明装置30とを備え、各照明装置30は、鉛直方向に平行な断面における当該照明装置30に対応する栽培容器20との対向部の形状が当該断面における前記栽培容器20の水平方向の中心Cを通り鉛直方向に延伸する直線(仮想直線)CLから離れる方向に沿って下方に傾斜した形状であり、かつ、当該照明装置30における前記直線CL側の端部と当該照明装置30に対応する栽培容器20の上方に配置された他の栽培容器20との間に空気が流れる隙間が設けられている。 As described above, the plant cultivation facility 100 according to the present embodiment irradiates light to a plurality of cultivation containers 20 arranged at intervals from each other along the vertical direction and to plants grown in the respective cultivation containers 20. For this reason, each lighting device 30 includes a plurality of lighting devices 30 provided corresponding to each cultivation container 20, and each lighting device 30 is opposed to the cultivation container 20 corresponding to the lighting device 30 in a cross section parallel to the vertical direction. Is a shape inclined downward along a direction away from a straight line (virtual straight line) CL extending in the vertical direction through the horizontal center C of the cultivation container 20 in the cross section, and in the lighting device 30 A gap through which air flows is provided between the end on the straight line CL side and another cultivation container 20 disposed above the cultivation container 20 corresponding to the lighting device 30.
 これにより、照明装置30からの排熱により加熱された空気を、空気が加熱されることによって生じる上昇気流により、当該照明装置30に沿って上方へ導風し、当該照明装置30と当該照明装置30に対応する栽培容器20の上方に配置された他の栽培容器20との間の隙間を介してさらに上方へ逃すことができる。したがって、照明装置30によって加熱された空気が栽培容器20の直上の空間に滞留することを防止し、植物周囲の温度上昇を抑制することができる。また、上述した従来の技術のように、栽培容器毎に送風ダクトを設けて冷却空気を植物に吹き付ける必要がないので、設備構成を複雑化させることなく、また植物に風による悪影響を与えることなく、植物周囲の温度上昇を抑制することができる。 Thereby, the air heated by the exhaust heat from the lighting device 30 is guided upward along the lighting device 30 by the rising air flow generated by heating the air, and the lighting device 30 and the lighting device It can escape further upwards through the clearance gap between the other cultivation containers 20 arrange | positioned above the cultivation container 20 corresponding to 30. FIG. Therefore, it can prevent that the air heated by the illuminating device 30 stays in the space immediately above the cultivation container 20, and can suppress the temperature rise around a plant. Moreover, since it is not necessary to provide a ventilation duct for every cultivation container and to blow cooling air to a plant like the conventional technique mentioned above, it does not make an equipment structure complicated, and does not have a bad influence by a wind on a plant. The temperature rise around the plant can be suppressed.
 また、本実施形態では、鉛直方向に平行な断面における栽培容器20の左斜め上および右斜め上の両方(前記直線CLの両側)にそれぞれ照明装置30を配置している。これにより、植物に対する光の照射効率を向上させることができる。 Moreover, in this embodiment, the illuminating device 30 is arrange | positioned to both the upper left diagonal and the upper right diagonal (both sides of the said straight line CL) of the cultivation container 20 in the cross section parallel to a perpendicular direction.
