Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a device for easily cultivating plants such as vegetables at home.

(Prior Art) Generally, when cultivating vegetables at home, it is common to use one plot of a garden or the like in the same manner as in the field.
Recently, forcible cultivation using a veranda has become popular. The cultivating container used in this case is often a conventional unglazed pot, or a synthetic resin planter.In this case, the medium used is generally ordinary soil to which a necessary amount of fertilizer is added, but the cultivating floor is Since the pots and planters are small and the top surface is usually open and the water evaporates a lot, more careful attention is needed to obtain the target crop such as adjusting the water sprinkling amount. In addition, recently, for the purpose of further cultivating these domestic vegetables, a growing bed of rock wool or synthetic resin foam on which specific seeds such as kaiware radish are placed is set in a synthetic resin container, and the user supplies water. There are some methods that can be easily cultivated.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, when the conventional clay pots and synthetic resin planters are used, soil is filled as a medium so that the place of use is not contaminated with the soil, but the soil itself is a heavy material, so preparation for cultivation is required. It is inconvenient for transportation and other work for planting, and it is necessary to perform extremely difficult management such as normal plant cultivation will not be performed unless strict management such as proper addition of fertilizer and proper amount of watering is performed. And

In addition, in a cultivation device in which seeds are placed on a nursery bed of rock wool or synthetic resin foam and set with a nursery container, the device that was used once cannot be used a second time, and the plant that the user likes There is an inconvenience that you can not choose and grow.

(Means for Solving Problems) In consideration of the above situation, the present inventor has conducted various researches on an apparatus capable of cultivating a plant such as a vegetable easily and surely at home, and as a result, has been found to be sufficient for cultivating the plant. As a cultivating device that can cultivate a cultivated bed that is shaped as a size or quantity by washing and maintaining proper water content, do not bring the bottom surface of the cultivating floor into contact with the bottom surface of the cultivating container, and each side of the cultivating floor is in multiple rows Even if at all, it was possible to solve the problem by using a structure in which each cultivation bed is brought into contact with the atmospheric surface. That is, the cultivating device in this invention comprises a lid cultivating box and a cultivating bed stand that is housed in the cultivating box or fixed to the bottom of the cultivating box, and is a synthetic resin cultivating box such as plastic. Similarly, a cultivation bed is provided in which a large number of parallel partitions are erected on a flat plate made of synthetic resin, and the partitions are provided with cutouts of predetermined width at predetermined intervals. Is provided as a cultivation floor placing section. Cultivation is carried out by placing a cultivation bed suitable for this width on the cultivation floor mounting portion formed in the cutout portion of a predetermined width provided at a predetermined interval between the pieces thus cut up in parallel, that is, the lower portion. The bottom surface of the floor is the top surface of the flat plate of the cultivation floor, and the top surface and both side surfaces of the cultivation floor are provided with spaces. The partition piece standing on this flat plate may be directly in contact with the bottom surface of the cultivation box to form a cultivation floor placing portion. Further, the cultivation box lid is provided with holes at predetermined intervals corresponding to the cultivation floor placing section, and is set as a target position for seeds to be sown on the cultivation floor placed on the cultivation floor placing section, and the seed grows as a plant. It will be the extension protrusion later. Further, this lid is provided with water supply holes at one or more places in the four corners so as not to overlap with the upper surface of the cultivation bed placing portion.

The cultivating floor used in this invention is a solid artificial floor molded to a size that can be placed in the cultivating floor placing part width, and can be used to maintain a space surface on the lower surface and both sides of the cultivating floor. A molded bed of only soil that disintegrates due to medium water absorption is not preferable. Normally, by using a molding medium formed by compression-molding a conditioned medium mainly composed of peat moss, water is absorbed from the bottom surface of the culture medium while maintaining a good wet state, while the culture medium does not almost collapse during cultivation, and the bottom surface and both sides of the culture medium The surface also holds a space. It is convenient to use a mixture of artificial fertilizer and a prescribed fertilizer beforehand.
It is also possible to use a molding medium or synthetic resin foaming medium mainly composed of rock wool.

(Operation) Since the present invention is configured as described above, the notch of each partition forms the cultivation floor placing part, and if the cultivation box is placed on a level surface and water is supplied from the water inlet, it is evenly distributed on the bottom of the cultivation box. The molding medium that flows and is placed on the cultivation bed placing portion absorbs water evenly from the lower surface, and after the water absorption is completed, it becomes a space contact surface on the entire surface of the molding medium, and a cultivation environment with good atmospheric circulation appears.

(Embodiment) An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 is a cultivation box, which is a normal quadrangle surrounded by four side walls, and is covered with a lid 2 on the upper surface. The lid 2 may be integrally attached to the cultivation box 1 or may be a separate one. The lid 2 is provided with holes 4 at predetermined intervals at any one or more locations in each corner and at each corner, and the holes 3 are of a size that can be sufficiently removed when the plant to be cultivated is extended. Reference numeral 5 denotes a cultivating table, and a large number of partitions 7 having substantially the same height as the side wall height of the cultivating box 1 are erected in parallel on the flat plate 6 at predetermined intervals. A notch 8 having a constant width and a reduced height is provided at a position corresponding to the partition 7. In addition, this partition 7
It is also possible to use not all of the partition 7 provided with the cutout portion 8 but a part of the partition 7 having a uniform height in the cutout portion 8. This cultivation bed 5 constitutes a cultivation apparatus by storing the cultivation bed 1 in the cultivation box 1 and placing the flat plate 6 on the bottom surface of the cultivation box 1. The size of the flat plate 6 is the inner surface length of the cultivation box 1, The size is slightly smaller than the width, and when the cultivation box bed 5 is placed on the cultivation box 1, the cultivation bed bed 5 is stopped by a slight horizontal movement. Reference numeral 9 denotes a cultivation floor, which is placed on the cultivation floor placement part formed by the cutout portion 8 of the partition 7 of the cultivation floor stand 5 housed in the cultivation box 1 to maintain the cultivation conditions and cultivate the plant. . This cultivation floor 9 is a generally rectangular shape which is molded or cut in the notch 8 so that its length matches the width of the cultivation box 1, and is provided on the lid 2 of the cultivation box 1 on the upper surface. The seeds are sown and cultivated at positions corresponding to the holes 3. Further, the water absorption of the cultivation floor 9 is carried out from the bottom surface of the cultivation floor 9 through the holes 4 provided at the corners of the lid 2 between the partitions 7, so that the cultivation box 1 is kept horizontal and used for the cultivation floor 9. When the amount of water supply adapted to the type of medium is supplied, water is sequentially absorbed from the lower surface of the cultivation bed 9, and the cultivation bed 9 expands and becomes ready for cultivation. For this reason, if the height of the notch 8 of the partition 7 serving as the cultivation bed placing portion is too high, the water surface does not contact the lower surface of the cultivation floor 9 unless the water supply amount is large, and the cultivation floor 9 absorbs water from the lower surface and ends. Even if a small amount of water remains on the rear bottom part, it is sufficient that the bottom surface of the cultivation floor 9 has a space that creates a space, and usually about 5 to 10 mm. The present invention has the above-mentioned structure, and the cultivation bed 1 is housed in the cultivation box 1, the cultivation bed 9 of the molding medium is placed in the cutout portion 8 of the partition 7, and the seeds are sown at a predetermined position to cover the lid. If the cultivation box 1 is covered with 2, the cultivation preparation is completed. Then, if a fixed amount of water is supplied from the holes 4 provided in the corners of the lid 2, the water does not splash on the upper surface of the cultivation floor 9 and the cultivation floor stand. 5
Thus, the water uniformly flows between the partitions 7 on the flat plate 6 and comes into uniform contact with the lower surface of each cultivation floor 9 on the notch 8 to uniformly supply water to the molding medium. In this way, when the cultivation device in the state of complete seedling cultivation is placed on the veranda or the like, the molding medium absorbs a predetermined amount of water, and the cultivation box 1 is covered with the lid 2, so that the cultivation floor 9 There is almost no transpiration into the atmosphere from the upper surface of a certain molding medium, and the planted seeds can be cultured and managed as planned. Next, a cultivation example using this devised device will be described.

Cultivation example 42% by weight of peat moss, 42% by weight of vermiculite, 15% by weight of calcium carbonate, 1% by weight of fertilizer are mixed well and the water content is increased.
Using a compression molding machine, the medium adjusted to 12% is 6 cm in length and 22 c in width.
After molding to m x 1 cm thick, we prepared a vacuum-molded molding medium, and made a plastic 25 cm long as a cultivation device of this invention.
Twenty-two pieces of 3.5 cm high partition frames were erected on a flat plate of width 24 cm x length 35 cm made of plastic in a cultivation box of width x 36 cm x depth 4 cm at intervals of 1 cm. This partition has a width of 7 cm and a depth of 2 at 10 cm intervals.
cm notches were provided respectively to form a cultivation bed, which was stored in a cultivation box and the molding medium prepared previously was removed from the packaging and placed. Next, the diameter of the upper surface of the cultivation box should correspond to the cutout.
The 1.5 cm holes are covered with 5 lids at 5 cm intervals in the lengthwise direction of the molding medium, and 10 water holes are provided in one corner of the lid.
When 00 ml of water was fed and 60 minutes later, the lid was opened and the molding medium was observed. As a result, the molding medium was inflated about 3 times and was completely held in the notch. Further, the lower surface was almost free of water, and the space portion was in a penetrating state, and the molding medium was in a cultivable state.
Therefore, seeds of bok choy (cultivar Ao Tei) were sown on the upper surface of the molding medium at positions corresponding to the holes provided in the lid of the cultivation box, then covered with a lid again and placed on a veranda with good sunlight for 40 days. When cultivated, we were able to obtain good quality crops.

(Effect) In the present invention, since the cultivation bed used as the molding medium as described above is placed in the notch provided in the partition in the cultivation box, the circulation of the atmosphere between the lower surface of the cultivation floor and the upper surface of the cultivation floor plate is performed. There is a certain air, and since both partitions are open on both sides, proper ventilation for plant cultivation makes plant growth extremely smooth.
In addition, the cultivation box itself has a hole for plant extension in the lid and has a structure for cultivating with the lid attached, so the water supplied does not evaporate after being absorbed by the forming medium, so cultivation can be managed as planned. Is.
