Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Industrial Application Field" This invention relates to a device for attracting and retaining vines that grow sequentially in hydroponic cultivation of fruit vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers.

``Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and ideas'' As shown in Fig. 2, a conventional attracting device of this type is designed to move around the circumferential surface of a long three-dimensional truss-shaped support frame F as fruits and vegetables grow. At approximately 20cm intervals from below, horizontal attraction strings H made of vinyl string are wrapped around and tied together, and in addition to these attraction strings H, a large number of vertical strings V for spacing are arranged at approximately 40 to 50cm intervals in the front and back direction.
A device is known in which the vines of fruits and vegetables K are tied to each other at their mutual intersections, and then wrapped around the girder material at the upper end of the side of the support frame to bind them, and the vines of fruits and vegetables K are sequentially attached to each horizontal string H with tape. It is being

By the way, in such a attracting device, when the vines of fruits and vegetables K continue to grow even after reaching the upper end of the support frame F, the entire vines that have grown so far are lowered to attract the further grown vines. In order to hold it, it is necessary to lower each attracting horizontal string H along with the vine and attach a new attracting horizontal string H to the upper part.

However, in conventional attracting devices, the horizontal string H and a huge number of vertical strings V are tied together at their intersections, so it takes a lot of effort to attach the horizontal strings H, which are arranged as they grow. Not only does this take time, but when lowering the vines and re-attracting them,
It is necessary to untie the horizontal string H and the vertical string V to be lowered and lower the entire horizontal string H one step at a time, which has the drawback of requiring an extremely large amount of labor and time.

"Means for solving the problem" This invention aims to solve the above-mentioned conventional problem.
Vertical suspension members are attached to the sides of the three-dimensional truss-shaped support frame at predetermined intervals in the front-rear direction, and upward hooks are attached to the surface of the suspension members at predetermined intervals vertically, and at each pitch of these hooks. Attachment work of horizontal cords that are attached as the child grows by engaging and holding the attracting cords wrapped around the front, rear, left and right sides of the support frame and tied together with hooks, respectively.
The present invention also proposes a vine attracting device for fruit and vegetable cultivation that facilitates the work of lowering the horizontal string when lowering and re-inducing the vines.

``Example'' Below, an example of this invention shown in the drawings will be explained.
Vertical and horizontal beam members 1b and 1c connected between a and its upper end
As a result, it is formed into a long rectangular three-dimensional truss shape, and is installed on a seedbed 2 for hydroponic cultivation.

A large number of vertically elongated suspension members 3 made of metal, synthetic resin, wood, fiber, etc. are attached to both the left and right sides of the support frame 1 at predetermined intervals in the front and rear, and are suspended by connecting the upper ends of the girder members 1b. On the surface of each suspension member 3, a large number (for example, about 10) of upward hooks 4 are attached vertically at a pitch of 20 to 80 cm.

In addition, on the front, rear, left and right peripheral surfaces of the support frame 1,
An attraction string 5 made of vinyl string or the like is wound around each pitch of the hook 4 of the suspension member 3, and each attraction string 5
are engaged with and held by the hooks 4, respectively, and then bound at a binding portion 6 at either the front or rear end surface of the support frame 1 so as to be easily unraveled.

"Operation of the invention" In the above structure, as the fruits and vegetables K planted at predetermined intervals in the nursery bed 2 grow and their vines extend, the attracting strings 5 are sequentially attached from below the support frame 1, Attach the vine to the quotation string 5 with tape or the like.

When attaching the guide string 5, one end thereof is temporarily fixed to the support column 1a on the end face of the support frame 1, and the worker holds the guide cord 5 and goes around the support frame 1, sequentially attaching each suspension. A guide string 5 is engaged with a hook 4 of a material 3, and after going around once, both ends are tied so that they can be easily unraveled.

Therefore, the attracting strings 5 are reliably held at a constant interval simply by engaging with the hooks 4, and there is no need to tie the attracting strings 5 with the vertical strings for maintaining the distance as in the past, which makes the work easier. The guide string 5 can be reliably locked and held at a predetermined height while a person walks around the support frame 1, and can be attached very easily.

On the other hand, when the fruits and vegetables K grow and their vines reach the upper end of the support frame 1, the binding part 6 is untied and the attraction strings 5 of each tier are loosened. By removing it from the hook 4 at that position and transferring it to the hook 4 at the lower level, and sequentially moving the attraction string 5 at each level to the lower level in the same way, the entire vine of fruits and vegetables K is lowered downward, and the fruit After harvesting, the lower part of the vine is placed on the nursery bed.

In this way, a new attracting string 5 is attached to the vacant upper part by transferring the attracting string 5 in the same manner as described above, and the upper part of the vine of fruits and vegetables K is fixed to this.

In addition, when the vines of fruits and vegetables K grow further, the inducing string 5 is similarly transferred and a new inducing string 5 is attached.

``Effects of the invention'' As described above, according to this invention, vertical suspension members are attached to the side surfaces of a three-dimensional truss-shaped support frame at predetermined intervals in the front and back direction, and predetermined intervals are placed vertically on the surface of the suspension members. Place the hooks in place and attach the hooks facing upward, and the attracting strings that are wrapped around the front, rear, left, and right sides of the support frame at each pitch of the hooks and tied together are engaged and held in the hooks, so it is easy to attach the horizontal strings that will be attached as the child grows. , and when lowering and re-attracting the vines, it is only necessary to simply engage and hold the attracting string with the hook of the suspension material, which greatly facilitates and simplifies these operations. It becomes possible to achieve significant time and labor savings.
