Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a growth stand suitably used for growing various plants, including seedlings, in a box-shaped case.

[0002]

Generally, a rice seedling is a so-called seedling box (usually 30 seedlings) until it grows from a hardened seedling to a seedling.
X 60 cm). In general, the seedling boxes are arranged on the ground in a greenhouse and managed until the seedlings grow to a state before rice transplanting. However, when the seedling boxes are arranged in the house in this manner, the seedling boxes are spread in a plane and take up space. Because of this, it is necessary not only to make the house larger or to increase the number,
It was necessary to sprinkle water over a wide area, and there was a problem that it was troublesome and equipment cost was high.

[0003] In addition to rice, vegetables and flowers for appreciation are also grown in a box-like case similar to a seedling box. Problems.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a growth stand that is easy to use while accommodating a seedling box or the like to save space. To provide.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a growth gantry according to the present invention comprises two circular rotating members which rotate at the same speed in parallel and spaced vertical planes, respectively. A plurality of elongate support plates suspended in a horizontal state so as to pass between them at a plurality of positions spaced along the periphery of the rotating member, and with the rotation of the rotating member, A mechanism for spraying water on the support plate that rotates while maintaining the state is provided.

[0006] Water may be sprayed from a pipe provided in a bridge state above the two rotating members, or water may be sprayed from a pipe provided so as to connect the rotation centers of the two rotating members. You may do so.

[0007]

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of a growing frame according to the present invention in a used state.

[0008] As shown in FIG.
0 denotes two circular rotating members 11 that rotate at the same speed in parallel and spaced vertical planes, and a plurality of positions spaced along the periphery of these rotating members 11, between them. And a plurality of elongate support plates 12 suspended in a horizontal state so as to pass through the seedling boxes B on the support plate 12.

The rotating member 11 has a center supporting portion 11a,
It consists of a large ring frame 11b and radial spokes 11c connecting them. The two rotating members 11 are connected to each other by a plurality of horizontal bars 13 and rotate integrally. In the case of illustration, it is connected by a horizontal bar 13 at a plurality of locations spaced at regular intervals along the periphery of the rotating member 11, and the horizontal bar 13 also serves as a member for suspending the support plate 12. ing. In addition, each rotating member 11
Is rotatably supported by a column member 15 erected on the base 14 at a support portion 11a at the center thereof. One of the supporting portions 11a and the motor 16 installed on the base 14 are connected via a transmission member 17 such as a belt or a chain. It rotates at the speed.

As shown in FIG. 2, the support plate 12 has hook portions 12b at both ends of an elongated plate portion 12a, and the hook portions 12b hang from the horizontal bar 13. In the illustrated example, a net plate is used for the plate portion 12a so that drainage is improved. Further, an enclosure 12c is provided around the plate portion 12a to reinforce the whole, and at the same time, prevent the seedling box B from sliding down. The structure of the support plate 12 is not limited to this. That is, it is only necessary that the seedling boxes B can be placed side by side.
a does not need to be a net plate, and its reinforcement may be performed by other means. Although various hanging means are conceivable, it is preferable that the hook portion 12b as shown in this example is taken into consideration for removal.

As shown in FIG. 1, a pipe 18 is arranged in a bridge state above the two rotating members 11, and is connected to a seedling box B on the support plate 12 from a sprinkling port 19 of the pipe 18. It is designed to sprinkle water. In the illustrated example, a pipe 18 is provided so as to extend from the upper ends of both pillar members 15, and the pipe 18 passes through one pillar member 15 and is connected to a water supply pipe 20 at the lower end.

It is preferable to use this growth stand 10 installed in a greenhouse. At the time of use, the support plate 12 is suspended in advance on a horizontal bar 13 provided so as to connect between the two rotating members 11. in this case,
Although the support plate 12 is designed to hang on all the horizontal bars 13, it is not always necessary to do so. Then, the seedling box B is placed on the support plate 12 at a height at which work is easy.
Are placed side by side, and after that, the rotating member 11 is slightly rotated to place the seedling boxes B on the next support plate 12 side by side. By repeating this, the seedling box B is placed on all necessary support plates 12. When the setting of the seedling box B is completed, the motor 16 is driven to rotate the rotating member 11, and the rotation of the rotating member 11 causes the support plate 12 to be slowly rotated in a horizontal state. In addition, it is set so that water is sprinkled from the sprinkling port 19 every predetermined time. Rotational speed once / day or 2
Times / day, and watering is performed about twice / day for each support plate 12. In this way, rice seedlings can be grown from hardened seedlings to young seedlings in a small space. A window that can be opened and closed is provided beside the plastic greenhouse, and the seedling box B is placed on the support plate 12 from outside the house through the window.
It is also possible to take it out from the support plate 12.

In addition to the above-described method, the water spray mechanism may spray water from a pipe provided so as to connect the rotation centers of the two rotating members 11, for example. By doing so, there is no need for a height for the watering mechanism, and there is an advantage that the entire apparatus can be made compact.

The above-mentioned growing rack 10 may be used by storing a plurality of sets in a single greenhouse. In this case, a form in which the growth pedestals 10 are arranged in parallel or a form in which they are arranged in series is conceivable.
It is also possible to share one rotation axis.

The growing stand of the present invention can be used not only to store and use a seedling box but also to store a case for growing vegetables, ornamental flowers and the like. Also,
In addition to being used in a plastic greenhouse, it can be installed and used, for example, on a rooftop or a basement.

[0016]

As described above, the growth gantry of the present invention is constructed so that a plurality of elongated support plates are rotated in a horizontal state between two rotation members by using two rotation members. Since many seedling boxes and the like can be arranged and three-dimensionally stored on the support plates, space can be saved. In addition, since it is not necessary to spray water over a wide area in a plane as in the related art, it is possible to spray water with simple equipment and it is convenient.
