Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention relates to a support structure for a plant cultivation pot.

(Prior art) Conventionally, for example, in the cultivation of orchids, young small plants are planted in pots and cultivated to determine the size of the flowers.
Alternatively, the flowers are grown and shipped as potted orchid products. At cultivators, pots in which small plants are planted are supported by supporting members so that they do not fall over, and are arranged in large numbers, and cultivated for a predetermined period of time.

In the conventional cultivation of orchids, small plants are usually planted in synthetic resin flower pots, cultivation is continued in these flower pots, and after cultivation, products are shipped as they are in the flower pots.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, during the cultivation period, synthetic resin flower pots deteriorate due to the influence of sunlight, especially ultraviolet rays, resulting in discoloration and loss of strength, so flower pots used for cultivation cannot be used for commercial purposes. There was an uneconomical problem in that the expensive flower pots used for cultivation were wasted as the plants were replanted in new flower pots and sold as products. There have also been attempts to cultivate orchids in inexpensive synthetic resin pots, and to repot them into beautiful pots after cultivation, but the pots are usually made of thin synthetic resin. Therefore, when cultivating a large number of plants without a means to support them,
There was an inconvenient problem as it was not possible to prevent the cultivation pot from falling over.

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is a product in which plants are cultivated using cultivation pots, and after cultivation to a predetermined size, they are replanted in flowerpots. To provide a convenient support structure for a cultivation pot. Another object of the present invention is to provide a support structure for a plant cultivation pot that can support even a thin-walled cultivation pot made of synthetic resin.

(Means for solving the problem) The means of this invention is a pot stand in which a single cultivation pot containing a plant for cultivation is inserted and supported in a single pot holding recess having a drainage hole at the bottom. A support structure for a cultivation pot in which a plurality of pot holders are arranged between horizontal and parallel support bars of a support member, and each pot holder is supported by the support bars at both ends thereof, wherein both ends of each pot holder are It is characterized in that the edge support is configured as a support means that is slidable along both support bars and is removable from both support bars.

The plants for cultivation are usually plant seedlings, small plants (young plants), seeds, etc., but are not limited thereto and can be applied to plants in general.

(Function) Plants for cultivation are planted and cultivated in respective cultivation pots. Each pot holder is horizontally supported by the support member, and the cultivation pot containing a plant is placed in the pot holder recess of each pot holder. The pot holder recess does not retain water within the recess due to the drainage hole at the bottom. The cultivation pot placed in the pot holder recess is movable in the direction of the support bar via the support means of the pot holder. Moreover, the pot stand can be removed from the support frame if necessary.

(Example) Next, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a support member 1 installed on the ground, and is formed by two parallel support bars 3, 3 supported horizontally at a predetermined height by support legs 2-2. Figure 2 shows a cultivation pot 4 for planting seedlings (including small plants or seeds) such as orchids and cultivating them to a predetermined size. The center portion 6 of the bottom surface 5 is recessed inward, and the recessed portion has a large number of ventilation holes 7 to 7 formed therein, so that the bottom portion has good ventilation.

The pot holder 8 that supports the cultivation pot 4 is made of synthetic resin, for example, and has a pot holder recess 10 for inserting and supporting the cultivation pot 4 in the center of a support plate 9 arranged on both support bars 3, 3. It will be established. Pot holder recess 10
is shaped like a basket with a bottom, and has a drainage hole (third
4). The basket-shaped pot holder recess 10 is deep enough to prevent the cultivation pot 4 from falling over. The inner diameter of the pot holder recess 10 is set to a size that can maintain a predetermined distance from the outer circumferential surface of the cultivation pot 4, approximately 10 mm in this example, so that the inner diameter of the pot holder recess 10 is large enough to maintain a predetermined distance from the outer circumferential surface of the cultivation pot 4. It is possible to prevent the cultivation pot 4 from swelling and becoming impossible to remove. The front and rear edges of the support plate 9 are parts supported on the support bars 3, 3, and the support bars 3, 3 are provided on each of the front and rear edges (outside edges of the edges) shown in the drawing of the support plate 9 in this example. Support plate 9 placed on
A locking portion 11 is movable along the support bars 3, 3 and can be removed upwardly when necessary.
is formed. Note that the locking portion 11 in this example is a bent piece. Therefore, the pot stand 8 can be slid along the support bars 3, 3 by the locking portions 11, 11 of the support plate 9, and can be removed upward when necessary.

Therefore, a predetermined number of pot stands 8 are arranged on both support bars 3, 3 of the support member 11, and after the locking portions 11 are locked to the support bars 3, 3, seedling plants PA are planted and cultivated. The pot 4 is inserted and supported in the pot holder recess 10 of each pot holder 8 (see FIG. 5). Each culture pot 4 did not fall down within the pot holder recess 10 and had good support. In addition, if the seedling plants PA in each cultivation pot 4 grow and their leaves touch each other during cultivation, if necessary, the cultivation pot 4 may be appropriately moved in the (longitudinal) direction of the support bar 3 to adjust the pot spacing. be able to.
Further, the pot stand 8 during cultivation can be removed from both support bars 3 and rearranged together with the cultivation pot 4 or after the cultivation pot 4 is removed, if necessary.

After a predetermined cultivation period, the cultivation pot 4 containing the growing plant PB is removed from the pot stand 8,
The cultivation pot 4 is removed by appropriate means such as cutting, and the roots and cultivation bed are replanted into a beautiful flower pot 12 for shipping without damaging the roots of the growing plant PB, and the product is made into a product for shipping.

(Effects of the invention) This invention allows plants to be shipped in beautiful pots by using inexpensive cultivation pots during the cultivation period and repotting them into expensive flower pots for shipping after cultivation. It's convenient. Since the cultivation pot is fixed within the pot holder recess of the pot holder supported by the support member, the cultivation pot can be safely supported without falling over during plant cultivation. Since the pot holder recess has a drainage hole at the bottom, water will not accumulate between the cultivation pot and the pot holder recess, and plants in the cultivation pot will not suffer from poor growth due to the influence of water storage.

Since the present invention has a structure in which the cultivation pot is inserted and supported in the bottomed pot holder recess of the pot holder, even a thin-walled cultivation pot made of synthetic resin can be safely supported and the plants in the cultivation pot can be grown.

Further, in the present invention, since the support for both ends of the pot stand is a support means that allows the pot stand to slide along both support bars,
The cultivation pots placed in the pot holder recesses of the pot holder can be moved in the direction of the support frame.For example, if seedlings in each cultivation pot grow and their leaves touch each other during cultivation, the cultivation pots may be moved as necessary. It is convenient to be able to adjust the pot position by appropriately moving the pot toward the support beam.

Furthermore, in the present invention, each pot stand is a removable support means for both support bars, so during cultivation, if necessary, the pot stand can be attached to both supports together with the cultivation pot or after the cultivation pot is removed. It is convenient because it can be removed from the crosspiece and rearranged.
