Description

  The present invention relates to an inclined vertical hydroponic cultivation apparatus using a synthetic resin cylindrical pipe for cultivating vegetables, fruit vegetables and the like.

Conventionally, a plant support panel having a large number of support holes is disposed on a culture fluid flow path having an inverted U-shaped cross section, and the plant support panel has a root projecting on the back side of the plant support panel. A hydroponic cultivation apparatus that is supported and allows a culture solution to flow through the culture solution channel, wherein the culture solution channel and the plant support panel are inclined at an angle of about 45 to 65 ° with respect to a horizontal plane. (See Patent Document 1).
This known technique has a large inclination angle of about 45 to 65 ° with respect to the culture fluid flow path and the plant support panel, so that it becomes three-dimensional cultivation and can effectively use the land area and space, reducing the facility area, Although it has features such as lighting / air-conditioning equipment and energy saving and saving, it has disadvantages such as uneven supply to the culture medium and simple production.

Further, in the vertical cylinder hydroponic cultivation apparatus, a plurality of holes are provided on the side surface of the vertical cylinder, plants such as flowers are planted in the hole, and cultivation and appreciation are performed while appropriately flowing down the hydroponic liquid from the upper end of the vertical cylinder. In addition, one in which a net-like body and water supply paper are fully loaded in the vertical cylinder is known (see Patent Document 2).
Although this known technique is excellent in workability in terms of production of the apparatus itself, it is necessary to load a net or water into the vertical cylinder, and the work of loading the net or water into the vertical cylinder Was troublesome.

  In order to solve these problems, it is possible to effectively use the land area and space in three-dimensional cultivation, reduce the facility area, reduce lighting and air conditioning facilities, reduce energy, and save the equipment itself Therefore, a hydroponic cultivation apparatus that is excellent in workability in terms of production has been desired.

One embodiment of the hydroponic cultivation apparatus of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in the front view of FIG. 1, the hydroponic cultivation apparatus of the present invention is arranged in parallel and horizontally at narrow intervals, and two upper horizontal supports in which culture solution pipes (not shown) are arranged concentrically. Pipe 1 and two lower horizontal support pipes 2 arranged horizontally in parallel at a larger interval than the upper horizontal support pipe 1, and the upper horizontal support pipe 1 and the lower horizontal support pipe 2 are obliquely fitted, The inclined fixed pipe 4 and the inclined movable pipe (not shown) provided with the cultivation hole 3 are assembled to form a triangular shape in front view.

As shown in the side view of FIG. 2, the inclined fixed pipe 4 is fixed to the T-shaped pipe joint 5 connected to the end of the upper horizontal support pipe 1 by screws (not shown), and the inclined movable The pipes 6 are fitted into support holes 7 provided in the upper horizontal support pipe 1 at equal intervals.
A culture solution pipe 8 is disposed concentrically inside the upper horizontal support pipe 1 through a T-shaped pipe joint 5, and the culture solution pipe 8 is provided with a plurality of spouts 9 to provide the inclined fixed pipe 4 and the inclined movable pipe. 6, the culture solution is allowed to flow down.
The upstream side of the culture solution pipe 8 is connected to a supply pipe 11 via a union joint 10 and further connected to a culture solution supply pipe (not shown) via a water tap 12 so that the culture solution is supplied from the culture solution supply equipment. It is supposed to be sent.

On the other hand, the inclined fixed pipe 4 is fixed to the T-shaped pipe joint 5 connected to the end of the lower horizontal support pipe 2 by screws (not shown), and the inclined movable pipe 6 is connected to the lower horizontal support pipe. 2 is inserted into support holes 13 provided at equal intervals.
