Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a plant cultivation device for cultivating various vegetables and plants, and in particular a work trolley that runs between plant cultivation shelves, and a work trolley that moves between plant cultivation shelves. This invention relates to an apparatus for cultivating plants, etc., equipped with a traversing cart that can move vertically and horizontally.

[Prior Art] Conventional cultivation devices include those in which the cultivation shelf a is fixed as shown in FIG. There is one in which the cultivation shelf is movable using a conveyor c or the like, and the operator works while riding on a fixed workbench d.

However, if the cultivation rack is of a fixed type, once the worker has finished planting or harvesting in a certain area, he or she must get off the step stool or mobile work platform B to work on the next location. Having to move and work on those platforms again was not only inefficient, but also dangerous because the work had to be done at heights. In addition, when the cultivation rack is movable, planting and harvesting operations are limited to both ends because the cultivation rack is moved as the crops grow, and it is difficult to cultivate a large amount of crops at once. There were problems such as the consumption of a large amount of energy due to constant movement.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention provides a work cart that travels between each multi-tiered plant cultivation rack, and a horizontal movement for moving this work cart between other cultivation racks. By using a trolley, it is possible to obtain an efficient, safe and energy-saving cultivation device for plants, etc.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention consists of a plurality of rows of multi-tiered plant cultivation shelves arranged with passages at predetermined intervals in a room such as a greenhouse, and two or more rows of multi-tiered plant cultivation shelves arranged so as to face each other on the sides of the plant cultivation shelves. a multi-stage running rail laid on the ground; a mobile work cart running on the running rail; a transverse rail laid perpendicular to the plant cultivation shelf at one end of the plant cultivation shelf; At the same time,
It is characterized in that it consists of a transverse carriage that can move the work carriage on rails of different heights and to other plant cultivation shelves.

[Embodiment] A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a building such as a greenhouse, in which a plurality of rows of multi-tiered plant cultivation shelves 2 are arranged with passages 3 at predetermined intervals.
Multi-stage traveling rails 4 are laid on the side faces of each stage so as to face each other.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a mobile work trolley that runs on wheels 6 on the multi-stage traveling rail 4. An operator rides on this trolley and manually operates it to perform various tasks while moving to a predetermined position. 7 is a safety handrail fixed around the trolley 5, and 8 is a rotating chair for the worker. Reference numeral 9 denotes a transverse rail laid at one end of the plurality of rows of multi-stage plant cultivation racks 2 so as to be perpendicular to the cultivation racks. A traversal trolley 10 is mounted that can be moved to a rail at an arbitrary height among the rails 4, or can be traversed to another position and moved to a traveling rail of another plant cultivation shelf. Reference numeral 11 denotes a traversing wheel, 12 a mast erected on the traversing cart 10, and 13 a lifter for raising and lowering the mobile work cart 5 along the mast 12, on which the traveling rail 4' to which the mobile work cart 5 is transferred is mounted. ing. 14 is a wire therefor, and 15 is a hoisting and lifting device. 1
6 is a guide roller attached to the lifter 13. Reference numeral 17 is a prescribed position where the multi-stage travel rail 4 is laid so as to partially protrude, and the movable work trolley 5 is moved to allow, for example, a worker to get on and off the work trolley 5. 18, the worker uses the work trolley 5
The upper part is a receiving area where crops are transported and placed each time they are harvested from each plant cultivation shelf 2. 19 is a medium for growing plants provided on the multi-stage plant cultivation shelf 2, and 20 is an electric light. 21 is a water supply pipe, and 22 is a traverse truck drive device.

Next, an example of the operation of this device during crop harvesting will be explained.

First, a worker gets on the movable work cart 5 that is stopped at a specified position 17, operates a mechanical device (not shown) provided on the work cart, and moves to an arbitrary shelf for harvesting work. At this time, if the work shelf is not the shelf at the specified position 7 but a shelf above it, or a shelf in another row, the movable work cart 5 is temporarily moved to the traversing cart 10, It is transferred to a lifter 13 provided on the traversing cart 10 to change the height or move to another shelf. When a certain amount of harvesting work is finished at a predetermined position, the movable cart 5 is moved to the traversing cart 10, and the lifter 13 of the traversing cart 10 is moved.
The operator descends to the bottom, places the harvested crops on the receiving area 18, and moves to an arbitrary shelf to start harvesting again. Incidentally, in the case of planting, the operation is almost the same as that during harvesting.

[Effects of the invention] The present invention has two or more rows of multi-tiered plant cultivation shelves arranged with passages at predetermined intervals in a room such as a greenhouse, and a multi-tiered one arranged opposite to each other on the sides of the plant cultivation shelves. A traveling rail, a mobile cart traveling on the traveling rail, a transverse rail laid perpendicular to the plant cultivation shelf at one end of the plant cultivation shelf, and a mobile cart traveling on the traveling rail, and a mobile cart traveling on the traveling rail; It consists of a transverse trolley that can move the platform on rails of different heights and to other plant cultivation racks, so all planting and harvesting work can be done on the mobile trolley, improving work efficiency. Not only is it good, it is also safe, and it also has various effects such as being useful for saving energy.
