Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a bed for fruits and vegetables, and attempts to obtain one suitable for growing and cultivating fruits and vegetables such as melons.

Traditionally, when cultivating fruit vegetables such as watermelons, pumpkins, melons, melons, and winter melons in upland fields, rice straw, wheat straw, or these materials have been used to protect the fruits in the upland fields from pests and diseases. They used to grow by placing ropes, ropes, or braided materials of these as substrates under growing fruits and vegetables.

However, all of the above-mentioned mats are hygroscopic and easily lose their shape when wet with rain, and they also have the disadvantage that once they absorb water, they can easily promote fermentation and spoilage. There was a risk that this would encourage the breeding of pests and diseases and inhibit the growth of fruit and vegetables. For this reason, various fruit and vegetable beds have been developed that are highly water resistant, free from fermentation and spoilage, have appropriate elasticity, and are made of foamed resin with little overall deformation.
This is the current state of use (for example, the
(See Publication No. 14440, Publication No. 48-44691, etc.).

When the above-mentioned foamed resin base for fruits and vegetables is made of a sheet, it has a plurality of protrusions that bulge upward and can support fruits and vegetables in a floating manner, but the horizontal part of the sheet is in contact with the ground. Fruits and vegetables at most 5~
It floats only about 10mm, and has the disadvantage of being susceptible to moisture from the ground and becoming wet and slippery.For example, in the case of Kosatsuku melon and Amus melon, it promotes the growth of bacteria on the mask surface of the epidermis, and these diseases can be caused. This was often discovered at the retail stage, and further improvements were requested.

Therefore, in this invention, we have developed a bed for fruits and vegetables that has been improved in order to meet the above-mentioned needs. On the upper surface side, a plurality of upwardly bulging protrusions are formed radially from the center toward the peripheral side, leaving a flat peripheral edge on the peripheral side. In this case, a plurality of protrusions bulging downward are arranged radially from the center toward the periphery side, leaving a flat peripheral edge on the periphery side, between the above-mentioned upper surface side protrusions. It is characterized by forming a through hole on the lower surface of the protrusion.

Next, embodiments of this invention will be illustrated below with reference to the drawings.

1 shows the entire fruit and vegetable bed formed integrally with a foamed polystyrene sheet or other foamed resin sheet, and the figure shows an example in which the outer shape is formed into a substantially rectangular shape. However, it can also be formed into a round, triangular, etc. shape.
Reference numeral 2 denotes a plurality of protrusions bulging upward in an arc shape on the upper surface side of the base 1 for supporting fruits and vegetables.
They are arranged radially from the center toward the side of the periphery.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a plurality of protrusions bulging downward in an arc shape on the lower surface side of the base 1, and the protrusions 3 are located between the protrusions 2 and 2 on the upper surface side when viewed from above, and on the peripheral side. The protrusions 3 are arranged radially from the center toward the periphery side, leaving a flat peripheral edge 5 , and a through hole 4 is formed in the lower surface of each protrusion 3 .

By using the fruit and vegetable bed of this invention having the above-mentioned configuration, the following effects can be obtained in terms of cultivating fruits and vegetables.

That is, in this invention, the base 1 for supporting fruits and vegetables is
Not only are the plurality of bulging protrusions 2 on the upper surface side arranged radially toward the peripheral side,
Also on the lower surface side of the base 1, the upper surface side protrusion 2,
Since the plurality of protrusions 3 that bulge downward at the positions between the two are arranged radially toward the side of the surrounding area, these can be used as a kind of supporting legs, which is much more effective than the conventional pedestal. Since the fruits and vegetables can be supported in a high floating manner, and the fruits and vegetables can be supported at a considerably high position from the ground, they can be supported without the influence of moisture from the ground.

Moreover, since the protrusions 2 and 3 are connected to each other by a flat peripheral edge 5 formed on the periphery, the shape is stabilized, and a through hole 4 is formed on the lower surface of the protrusion 3 on the lower surface side. Therefore, moisture from the fruits and vegetables or other parts can fall downward and permeate into the ground through the through hole 4, thereby eliminating the possibility of moisture remaining on the fruit and vegetables bed. It can further remove the harmful effects of humidity and moisture, and is particularly useful for preventing diseases caused by the proliferation of bacteria, especially in the case of Kosatsuku melon and Ammus melon. Moreover, the fruits and vegetables can maintain a good elastic support state by the protrusions 2 and 3 on each of the above-mentioned upper and lower surfaces.

Furthermore, since the lighting and ventilation from the non-supporting portion can be supported more highly than before, it is better and can promote the growth and growth of fruits and vegetables.

In addition, since the entire product is integrally formed from a foamed resin sheet, it is lightweight and easy to transport and handle, and there is no risk of it deforming or rotting even if exposed to the wind and rain, and it is not susceptible to damage from pests and diseases. There's no chance of it happening.

Therefore, with this invention, it is possible to provide an extremely practically suitable bed for fruits and vegetables.
