Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an irrigation device applied to a cultivation bed such as melon cultivation.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As is well known, melon cultivation is cultivated on a ridge-shaped cultivation floor constructed by laying a gauze cloth on a frame having a substantially U-shaped cross section installed on a mounting table and accommodating cultivation soil. Many such cultivation beds are installed side by side in the house. It is no exaggeration to say that irrigation management is the most important factor in melon cultivation and whether good quality melons can be obtained depends on the success of irrigation management. In other words, the melons that are fully managed and produced in the house are selected according to the four seasons, or the seedlings, vines, melon ball growth, irrigation time, weather, time and amount are selected as the optimum conditions. It can also be said that the watering is different between the ridges on the sunlit side and the ridges on the shaded side, and because one melon is grown in each strain, it is extremely different for each strain. More specifically, for example, the irrigation amount and position are adjusted by adjusting the excess and deficiency up to the previous day, and the growth performance after several days is read. There is a need. Thus, in melon cultivation, it is unfamiliar to perform uniform irrigation management in a centralized management system, and handmade individuality is required, so irrigation management is judged by skilled artisans. Since it is necessary to do it individually, the conventional irrigation work was to manually irrigate along the ridges with a watering can attached to the tip of the watering hose.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The conventional irrigation work in melon cultivation requires a long time and the irrigation work in the house for a long time is harsh because the watering hose is attached to the tip of the sprinkler hose as described above. This is a work, and since it requires twice a day of irrigation in summer, it requires a lot of labor. On the other hand, as mentioned above, irrigation management requires individuality and specificity, so the request for rationalization of irrigation work conflicts with the requirement for individuality. We have previously proposed an optimum watering device that can be applied to a melon cultivation bed because it can harmonize labor saving of irrigation work and individuality of watering management in melon cultivation (Practical application No. 4-32728). ), It is necessary to secure the space when heating pipes and the like are provided on the side of the cultivation floor frame. Therefore, in the present invention, a guide rail device is devised to make effective use of the space. It is an object of the present invention to provide a irrigation device for a cultivating floor, which enables the traveling platform to smoothly run and which can arbitrarily change the watering angle and the watering direction.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The irrigation device for a cultivation bed of the present invention is arranged on a side of a frame of a cultivation floor such as a melon and a guide rail, and is arranged near the guide rail so as to reciprocate between a start end and an end of the cultivation floor. A drive strip stretched around the drive strip, a drive source for driving the drive strip, and a drive strip fixed to the drive strip so as to travel along the guide rail between the start end and the end of the cultivation floor. And a connecting pipe that is attached to the traveling mount, has a water supply hose connected to the rear end thereof, and has a tip end side directed upward in the cultivation soil, and the connecting pipe. In the irrigation device for the cultivation floor, which is composed of a removable mouth, the guide rail is constructed by diagonally arranging square pipes made of aluminum or the like in a rhombic cross section, and the traveling rack is provided with the above corners. On the corner of the pipe The pulley having a V-groove to respond vertically or plurality contraposed to the left and right, both pulleys are those constructed as to sandwich the guide rail. In addition, a sprinkling pipe made of a shape-retaining flexible pipe is provided on the tip end side of the connection pipe, and the sprinkling mouth is attached to the sprinkling pipe so that the sprinkling angle and the sprinkling direction can be arbitrarily changed. did.

[0005]

[Action]

 When the drive rail travels from the starting end to the end of the above-mentioned cultivation bed by the rotation drive of the drive source arranged at one end side of the cultivation bed, the traveling platform fixed to this driving stripe is arranged on the side of the cultivation floor. It travels along the guide rail, and water is sprinkled from the watering can at the tip of the connecting pipe attached to this running platform to irrigate the plants on the cultivation floor. The guide rail has a simple structure because the square pipes are simply arranged in a rhombus shape, and a space for heating pipes and the like is secured to the side of the frame of the cultivation floor. Further, since the pulleys of the traveling platform are arranged so as to sandwich the pulleys, smooth traveling of the traveling platform is ensured. A sprinkling pipe consisting of a shape-retaining flexible pipe is installed on the tip side of the connection pipe, and a watering hole is attached to this, so the sprinkling angle and the direction of sprinkling can be arbitrarily changed to increase the height of the seedlings. It is possible to respond to irrigation according to the above conditions and irrigation only to the root of the plant, and it is possible to adjust the perspective of watering by adjusting the angle of the jaw opening.
