Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a nursery frame used for growing seedlings of beets, onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, squash, bell peppers and the like.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 When raising seedlings of various vegetables, it is customary to use seedling raising containers that are made of a material that is water-permeable and air-permeable and are divided into a number of small chambers because it is easy to make a nursery bed. This seedling raising container is generally called a paper pot because its material is usually made of paper.

When seedlings are grown using such a seedling-growing container, if the outer peripheral portion of the seedling-growing container is exposed to the atmosphere, the soil in the container located near the outer peripheral portion of the seedling-growing container is easily dried. As a result, it becomes difficult to promote the normal germination of the seedlings, and the uniform germination cannot be obtained.

Therefore, conventionally, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 48-3334 or Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-182650, the outer periphery of the seedling raising container on the side exposed to the atmosphere. Surrounding the part with a seedling raising frame, this seedling raising frame prevents early drying of the soil in the container located near the outer peripheral part of the seedling raising container, so that seedlings around the outer peripheral part of the seedling raising container and other parts are uniform. In addition, it has been proposed that the seeds germinated normally.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the conventional seedling raising frame, when this seedling raising frame is installed in the outer peripheral portion of the seedling raising container, the sunlight raising near the outer peripheral portion of the seedling raising container is obstructed by this seedling raising frame. Inhibition of sunshine in this way causes differences in sunshine conditions between the seedlings near the outer periphery of the seedling container and other parts, making it difficult to promote uniform and normal germination of the seedlings, resulting in normal germination. There is a problem that the rate is lowered.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the seedling raising frame of the present invention is characterized in that a light-reflective addition member is provided on the sloped surface formed at the upper corner of the seedling raising frame facing the seedling raising container side. I am trying.

[0007]

[Action]

 As described above, if a light-reflecting additional member is provided on the gradient surface formed at the upper corner of the seedling raising frame facing the seedling raising container side, even if the seedling raising frame makes the outer peripheral portion of the seedling raising container. Even if the sunshine in the vicinity is disturbed, the light reflected by the light-reflecting additional member irradiates the vicinity of the outer peripheral part of the seedling raising container, so that the sunshine conditions of the vicinity of the outer peripheral part of the seedling raising container and other parts are the same. And promote uniform and normal germination of seedlings.

[0008]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

As shown in FIG. 1, the seedling-growing container 1 is made of a water-permeable and air-permeable material such as paper, and is generally called a paper pot. The seedling-growing container 1 is divided into a number of small chambers, and has a flat hexagonal pattern as a whole, and each small chamber has a structure of a through hole that opens vertically. A large number of the above-mentioned seedling raising containers 1 are arranged side by side in the laterally long direction.

The seedling-growing frame 2 of the present invention is arranged along the outer peripheral surface of the group of the above-mentioned seedling-growing containers 1 ... It is installed in the state. As a result, the outer circumference of the group of seedling raising containers 1 arranged in parallel is surrounded by the plurality of seedling raising frames 2. These seedling raising frames 2 ... Are composed of seedling raising frame bodies 3 ... And light-reflecting additional members 4.

The seedling-growing frame 3 is made of a material having excellent heat insulation property, for example, expanded polystyrene resin, and has a long and slender substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and has an upper end corner facing the seedling-growing container 1 side. Has a sloped surface 3a. The inclination angle of the inclined surface 3a is set in consideration of the altitude and azimuth of the sun, but the optimum inclination angle is usually about 45 °. Then, a light-reflective additional member 4 made of a material having excellent light-reflecting property, for example, aluminum foil is provided on the sloped surface 3a of the seedling raising frame 3 by being adhered by an adhesive, for example. The light-reflective addition member 4 has a smooth surface. Therefore, the light reflected by the light-reflecting additional member 4 irradiates the vicinity of the outer peripheral portion of the seedling raising container 1 with the optimally set inclination angle of the inclination surface 3a.

Further, the seedling raising frame 2 is provided with a fixture 5 for fixing the arrangement position thereof. As shown in FIG. 2, the fixing tool 5 has its upper end L-shaped portion hooked on the upper end of the seedling raising frame 3 and the lower end sharpened portion of the fixing tool 5 is embedded in the ground to thereby position the raising seedling frame 2. Is fixed.

In the above structure, since the light-reflective addition member 4 is provided on the sloped surface 3a formed at the upper corner of the seedling raising frame 3 facing the seedling raising container 1 side, even if the seedling raising frame is Even if the sunlight in the vicinity of the outer peripheral portion of the seedling raising container 1 is obstructed by 3, the light reflected by the light-reflecting additional member 4 irradiates the vicinity of the outer peripheral portion of the seedling raising container 1. Therefore, since the sunshine conditions are the same in the vicinity of the outer peripheral part of the seedling raising container 1 and other parts, uniform and normal germination of the seedlings is promoted.

[0014]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, the seedling-growing frame of the present invention is configured such that the light-reflective addition member is provided on the inclined surface formed at the upper corner of the seedling-growing frame body facing the seedling-growing container side.

Accordingly, even if the sunshine in the vicinity of the outer peripheral portion of the seedling raising container is blocked by the seedling raising frame, the light reflected by the light-reflecting additional member illuminates the vicinity of the outer peripheral portion of the seedling raising container. As a result, the sunshine conditions are the same in the vicinity of the outer peripheral part of the seedling raising container and in the other parts, and the growth of the seedlings is aligned, uniform and normal germination is promoted, and it is possible to contribute to the improvement of the germination rate. Play.
