Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cultivation container in which a bottom plate is set on the bottom of a cultivation room for cultivating daikon radish and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, a cultivating container for radish radish has a large number of cultivating chambers defined therein, and a water passage hole is formed in the bottom thereof so that water can enter and leave the cultivating chamber. Conventionally, when cultivating radish radish with this type of cultivating container, first, a bottom mat made of urethane foam or the like is laid on the bottom of the above-mentioned cultivation room, seeds are sown on this bottom mat, and germinated and grown. It was The roots of kaiware radish entangle with the above-mentioned bottom mat as it grows, so at the time of shipment, the daikon radish in the cultivation room is taken out as a group by simply grasping the stems of the grown kaiware radish and pulling it out. The shipment and sale are performed with this group as the minimum unit.

As described above, the bottom mat laid on the bottom of the cultivation room has not only the function of collecting the radish in the cultivation room into the minimum unit, but also the function of holding water and fertilizer necessary during the cultivation. It is indispensable in terms of cultivation management because it also has a cultivation bottom, but when using the cultivation container repeatedly, it is necessary not only to lay a new bottom mat each time, but also the cost of the bottom mat to be disposable. However, because it is added to the manufacturing cost of kaiware radish,
It was also a cause of raising the unit price of radish radish.

[0004]

The present invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems. The purpose of the present invention is to entangle the root mat without using the bottom mat such as the urethane foam. Another object of the present invention is to provide a cultivation container provided with a bottom plate which has a sufficient cultivation management function, can be repeatedly used, and can be cultivated at low cost.

[0005]

The cultivation container of the present invention basically forms a large number of cultivation chambers by compartmentalization, forms a water passage hole at the bottom of each cultivation chamber, and forms a bottom on the bottom surface thereof. It is characterized by setting a plate. The bottom plates set on the bottom surface of each cultivation room may be connected to each other and integrated as a whole. Further, it is necessary that the bottom plate has a water retaining function of a predetermined water level. The water retaining function is, for example, a structure in which an outer peripheral wall is provided around the bottom plate, and a flange is extended substantially horizontally from the upper edge of the outer peripheral wall toward the outside, and a cut hole is formed in the flange. Alternatively, it is a structure in which a protrusion having a predetermined height is formed on the bottom of the bottom plate, and a water-permeable hole is formed on the top surface of the protrusion. Further, a large number of protrusions may be formed on the bottom surface of the bottom plate. The bottom plates are connected to each other by, for example, a thin film synthetic resin molded body that is molded so as to cover the side walls and the upper surface of the partition wall of the container almost in close contact with each other.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is a cultivation container, and a large number of cultivation chambers 2 are defined by partition walls 1a. Engagement protrusions 1b are provided at the upper parts of the four corners of the cultivation container 1, and engagement recesses 1c are formed at the lower part thereof. When the cultivation containers 1 are stacked in multiple stages, the engagement protrusions are formed. 1
b is engaged with the engaging recess 1c of the upper cultivation container 1 so as not to cause the load collapse.

As is apparent from FIGS. 2 and 3, a water passage hole 1e is formed in the bottom portion 1d of the cultivation room 2 so that water can enter and leave the cultivation room 2. A plurality of protrusions 1f are formed on the bottom surface of the bottom portion 1d. still,
The water passage hole 1e may be formed at the lower end of the partition wall 1a.

FIG. 4 shows a bottom plate 3 made of a thin plate made of hard synthetic resin.
And has a shape and size suitable for the bottom of the cultivation room 2. An outer peripheral wall 3a is provided upright around the bottom plate 3 to keep water required for cultivation at a predetermined water level. A flange 3b extends substantially horizontally outward from the upper edge of the outer peripheral wall 3a. A part 3a 'of the outer peripheral wall 3a is recessed inward, and the width of the flange 3b in this part is wide. A notch hole 3c is formed in the flange portion 3b 'whose width is widened.

The cultivation container 1 is formed of styrofoam, and the partition wall 1a is slightly tapered so that the cultivation chamber 2 becomes slightly narrower toward the bottom. Therefore, as shown in FIG. When the bottom plate 3 is pushed into the bottom of the cultivation room 2, the flange 3b of the bottom plate 3 bites into the partition wall 1a of the cultivation room 2 so that it cannot be easily removed.

A large number of protrusions 3 are formed on the bottom surface of the bottom plate 3.
d is formed to prevent the sown seeds from rolling and becoming uneven, and to assist the root-entanglement action.

Next, the operation of cultivating kaiware radish using the cultivation container of the above embodiment will be described. With the bottom plate 3 set on the bottom of each cultivation room 2 of the cultivation container 1, seeds are sown on the bottom plate 3 and watered to germinate and grow.

When the radish radish is consumed or evaporated due to the growth of radish and the water in the bottom plate 3 is reduced, it is irrigated and constantly replenished with water. Excess water in the cultivation room 2 is discharged to the outside through the cut holes 3c and the water passage holes 1e and kept at a predetermined water level.

As shown in FIG. 6, roots of radish radish grow on the bottom plate 3 while being intertwined with each other. When the radish radish grows to a predetermined size, the stems of the radish radish in the cultivation room 2 are grabbed and pulled up, and the radish radish in the cultivation room 2 is taken out as a group. , Put in polyethylene bag, and ship and sell.

Even if the radish radish is taken out, the bottom plate 3 remains on the bottom of the cultivation room 2, so that it is washed together with the cultivation container 1 as needed and repeatedly used.

FIG. 7 shows another embodiment of the present invention.
Cultivation room insert A integrally molded with thin film synthetic resin
Is. As shown in FIG. 8, this cultivation room insert A has bottom plates 3'connected to each other by a thin film synthetic resin molded body 3 ". The thin film synthetic resin molded body 3".
Is molded so as to cover the side surface and the upper surface of the partition wall 1a of the cultivation container 1 in close contact with each other.

As is apparent from FIGS. 9 and 10, the bottom plate 3'has a large number of protrusions 3d '. Further, a projection 3e having a predetermined height is formed at an appropriate position on the bottom plate 3 ', and a water permeation hole 3f is formed on the top surface thereof. Therefore, the cultivation water of a predetermined water level is retained in the bottom plate 3 '.

[0017]

[Effects of the Invention] 1) In a cultivation container having a large number of cultivation rooms defined and having a water passage hole at the bottom, the cultivation container is set at the bottom of the cultivation room and has an outer peripheral wall around the upper end edge of the outer peripheral wall. Since the flange is extended almost horizontally from the outside to the outside and the cut hole is formed in the flange, not only can a constant amount of water be maintained, but also water can be replenished and drained. The growth conditions can be secured. .. 2) A part of the outer peripheral wall is recessed inward to form the cutout hole in the widened flange part, so that a sufficient cutout hole can be formed while the width of most of the flange is made as narrow as possible. be able to. 3) Since a large number of protrusions are formed on the bottom surface of the cultivation room, it is possible to prevent the seeds from becoming non-uniform and also to help root entanglement.
