Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 In this device, the space for plant cultivation is radially divided and formed so as to project, and the cultivation containers are stacked so that the space for plant cultivation is offset from each other in the circumferential direction, so that even if a small occupied area is occupied, The present invention relates to a layered cultivation container that enables a large space for plant cultivation to be obtained.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In recent years, the cultivated area of agricultural soil per capita has gradually decreased in inverse proportion to the population increase due to the explosive increase in population and the increase in industrial land. In order to increase the yield of crops, etc., various studies such as breed improvement are being conducted.

However, as one of the solutions, there has not been devised a method for increasing the yield of agricultural products by using a cultivation container. All of the conventional plant cultivation containers such as flower basins are formed in a simple circular shape or a square shape, and the space inside is filled with soil to be used as a space for plant cultivation. Only the area of the occupied plane is used for cultivation of agricultural products.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the conventional cultivation container, even if it is used by stacking it in the upper direction, the cultivation area is increased only by the area of the plane not used for the stacking. Therefore, it is impossible to increase the amount of cultivation and the amount of harvest per unit area as described above. In addition, even in a flower basin used for cultivating flowers at home, it is not possible to cultivate a variety of flowers in a small living space such as an apartment, and since each uses a separate flower basin, it is very simple. However, there were the above-mentioned problems, and there was an inconvenience such as a jug.

The present invention focuses on the problems of the above-mentioned container for cultivating plants, and can increase the amount of cultivation of crops and the amount of harvest per unit area in cultivation of agricultural products using containers. It is an object of the present invention to provide a layered cultivation container thus constructed.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention divides the upper and lower narrow pots into a constant angle, projects them radially, and divides the inner space with a partition plate for cultivation. A space is formed, a stopper projection is provided on the upper part of the partition plate, the lower end of the bowl is formed so as to coincide with the stopper projection, and a recess is formed in the protruding central portion of the lower end. The upper and lower cultivation spaces are stacked so that the upper and lower cultivation spaces are displaced in the circumferential direction so that the lower cultivation container and the lower cultivation container of the upper cultivation container are engaged with each other. It is a scam.

Further, in the above technical means, the lowermost cultivation container is supported by a cradle having a fixing protrusion having an engaging surface in which the lower end portions of the pots are aligned with each other, and the stacking stopper is supported. The section and the groove are provided, and the interval adjusting cylinder having the same cross-sectional shape as the lower end of the pot is inserted between the upper and lower cultivation containers to be stacked.

[0008]

[Action]

 Since the lower part of the plant cultivation container and the upper part of the stacking stopper projection are formed so that their sizes coincide with each other in the direction in which they are offset from each other in the circumferential direction and inconsistent with each other, By aligning the lower end of the same shape of cultivation container with the protrusion and inserting the locking protrusion into the groove, and stacking them so as to engage, the radial space for plant cultivation can be surrounded. It shifts in the direction and becomes a staggered shape, and it is firmly locked up and down and laminated, and it can be used easily.

Inserting the lower end of the bottommost cultivation container into a fixed protrusion having a same diameter and inclined engagement surface as the outer peripheral surface of the lower end of the cultivation container in a pedestal having a relatively large diameter. Therefore, when the cultivation containers are stacked in multiple layers, even if the center of the weight moves to the upper part, the cultivation container firmly locked and stacked as described above by the pedestal having a larger diameter than the cultivation container is You don't have to worry about falling sideways, and you can get stable support.

Further, since the space for cultivating the plant is formed into a projecting shape by dividing the space for plant cultivation into a narrow upper, lower and lower shape, if the cultivation containers are stacked in a staggered manner as described above, the cultivation stacked vertically The projecting space portions between the containers are configured so as to cross each other, and the plant growing space portions are efficiently formed. Since the plants such as the crops planted here can be cultivated in multiple layers, the more plant cultivation containers are stacked in multiple layers, such as three layers and four layers, compared to the area occupied by one plant cultivation container in the ground. Therefore, the amount of cultivation per unit area can be increased by several hundred percent.

In addition, when the height of the cultivated plant is high, or when the space between the upper and lower cultivating containers is to be widened due to the appearance change of the plant cultivating container, the corresponding upper and lower cultivating containers are By inserting one or several gap adjusting tubes at desired gaps between them, it becomes easy to adjust the gap between the cultivation containers. Also, since the body of the interval adjustment cylinder has the same cross-sectional shape as the lower end of the cultivation container, the lower placement groove is set on the lower cultivation container as when stacking the upper and lower cultivation containers. By inserting and locking the protrusions, it is possible to maintain the locked state as it is while widening the space between the cultivation containers up and down. When this is unnecessary, it can be separated at any time, so that the laminated state can be easily deformed as needed.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2A to 2C, the peripheral surface of the upper and lower narrow bowl body 1 is divided at a constant angle and radially projected, and the inner space thereof is separated by the partition plate 2, The plant cultivation spaces 3 and 3 ′ divided by 2 ′ are formed. The stopper plates 4 and 4'are formed on the upper portions of the partition plates 2 and 2 ', and the lower part of the pot body 1 has a diameter of a projecting outer periphery that matches the distance between the stopper protrusions 4 and 4'. The lower end portions 5 and 5'are formed, and the placement grooves 6 and 6'are formed at the centers of the protruding outer peripheral surfaces.

When vertically stacking the same-shaped cultivation containers configured as described above, the plant cultivation spaces 3, 3 ′ of the upper and lower cultivation containers are displaced from each other in the circumferential direction in mutually staggered directions, As an example thereof, the locking projections 4, 4'are engaged with the lower end portions 5, 5 '(see FIG. 2 (c)).

On the lower side of the bottommost pot body 1, a portion having the same diameter as the outer peripheral surfaces of the lower end portions 5 and 5 ′ of the pot body 1, and an inclined engagement similar to the lower portion of the pot body 1. A pedestal 8 having fixed protrusions 7 and 7 ′ composed of a surface is provided, and between the upper pot body 1 and the lower pot body 1, as shown in FIGS. A space adjusting cylinder 9 having the same cross-sectional shape as the lower end portions 5 and 5'can be provided. A stack stop portion 10 is provided on the upper inside of the space adjusting cylinder 9, and mounting grooves 11 and 11 'having the same position and size as the mounting grooves 6 and 6'are provided on the lower portion. The pedestal 8 is attached to the bottom surface of the lowermost cultivation container in a locked state to give a sense of stability, and an interval adjusting tube 9 is inserted between the upper and lower cultivation containers in a locked state to allow the cultivation container The vertical spacing of can be adjusted arbitrarily.

The plant cultivation container configured as described above is filled with soil in each of the divided plant cultivation spaces 3, 3 ′ to cultivate a plant like a normal plant cultivation container such as a flower tray. Then, the lower grooves 5, 5'of the plant cultivation container 6 and 6'and the upper stacking stopper projections 4 and 4'are displaced in the circumferential direction from each other, and the sizes thereof are different from each other. It is shaped to match. As a result, the stacking stopper projections 4 and 4'of the upper plant cultivation container are aligned with the lower end portions 5 and 5'of the same shape cultivation container, and the stopper grooves 4 and 6'are set in the mounting grooves 6 and 6 '. By inserting 4 ', they can be locked to each other. When the cultivation containers are stacked upward in this manner, the upper and lower radial plant cultivation spaces 3, 3 ′ are firmly locked to each other in a state where they are offset from each other in the circumferential direction. It is easy to use. The lower end portions 5 and 5'of the lowermost cultivation container are fixed protrusions 7 provided with an inclined engaging surface having the same diameter as the outer peripheral surface of the lower end portions 5 and 5'in the pedestal 8 having a relatively large diameter. , 7 ', even if the cultivation containers are stacked in multiple layers and the center of the weight is moved to the upper part, the pedestal 8 having a diameter larger than that of the cultivation container firmly fixes it as described above. Since they are locked and stacked, there is no fear that the cultivation container will fall sideways, and a strong and stable support force can be obtained.

Since the plant cultivation spaces 3, 3 ′ are pots with a wide upper and lower narrow shape and are radially divided and formed to project, as described above, the upper and lower cultivation containers are circumferentially arranged. If they are staggered and stacked in a staggered manner, the projecting space portions 3 and 3'between the upper and lower stacked cultivation containers are configured so as to be displaced in the circumferential direction from each other and staggered. The space portions 3 and 3'are efficiently formed. Therefore, it is possible to plant plants such as agricultural crops in these plant cultivation spaces 3, 3'and cultivate them in multiple layers, so that one plant cultivation container has three layers, compared to the area occupied by the ground. The more the cultivation containers are laminated in multiple layers such as four layers, the more the cultivation amount per unit area is increased by several hundred percent. In particular, if it is a shadowy plant such as lettuce that does not require extra sunlight, efficient cultivation is easy and efficient use of cultivated land is possible. It is also very efficient in managing cultivated land efficiently.

When the distance between the upper and lower cultivation containers is to be changed, that is, when the distance between the cultivation containers is increased because the height of the cultivation plant is high or the appearance of the plant cultivation container is deformed. The space between the cultivation containers can be easily adjusted by inserting one or several space adjusting cylinders 9 between the corresponding upper and lower cultivation containers at a desired distance. The body of the space adjusting cylinder 9 has the same cross-sectional shape as the lower end portions 5 and 5 ', and the lower placing grooves 11 and 11' are set on the lower cultivating container as in the case of stacking the upper and lower cultivating containers. By inserting and locking the protrusions 4 and 4 ', it is possible to firmly hold the locked state as it is while widening the space between the cultivation containers vertically. When this is unnecessary, it is possible to separate it at any time, and it is easy to deform the laminated state at any time, if necessary.

Regarding the shape of the radial cultivation spaces 3, 3 ′, as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) to 3 (c), radial projections are formed in three directions, four directions, etc. Well, as long as the retaining projections 4, 4'and the lower end portions 5, 5'are formed on the upper and lower sides thereof, it is possible to stack them in any shape. At this time, by arranging the cultivation containers in the same shape, they can be easily laminated and mass production thereof is easy.

[0019] The upper and lower cultivation containers can be firmly locked by the placing grooves 6 and 6 ', and the water of the lower cultivation container is not accumulated in the lower end portions 5 and 5'. In addition, it can also serve as a drain port for draining to the cradle 8. Reference numerals 12 and 12 'in the drawings are drainage ports.

[0020]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the present invention makes it possible to efficiently use a gradually reduced agricultural land because the cultivation containers having the cultivation spaces radially divided are vertically shifted in the circumferential direction and stacked so as to be staggered.
