There were problems such as.

The present invention uses pipes through which hot or cold water can flow, and a large number of cultivating soil containers containing growing soil or a plurality of growing pots are placed on a workbench at a height that allows a worker to easily carry out cultivation work while standing. The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a dedicated device for cultivating crops that can be removably placed in accordance with the requirements and efficiently carry out the cultivation work of crops while saving labor. It is an object of the present invention to provide a growing chamber used in an apparatus that is highly workable, a cultivating soil container that is highly drainable, and a workbench that is rich in air permeability and drainage, and on which the cultivating soil container can be easily installed.

"Means for Solving the Problems" In order to achieve the above object, in the crop growing apparatus of the present invention, a pipe through which hot water or cold water can flow is laid on a workbench having a traceable length, and A large number of cultivating soil containers containing cultivating soil or a plurality of cultivating pots are removably placed in correspondence with the installed pipes.

The plurality of workbenches on which the cultivating soil containers are placed can be installed in a growth chamber that can transmit and absorb solar heat, and if a crane device is installed that can suspend and transport the cultivating soil containers, the cultivating soil containers can be installed. and removal work is effective.

In addition, the cultivation room is divided into two rooms: a cultivation and growth room and a management room, which saves labor in cultivation work, as well as integrated work such as sowing, transplanting, disinfection, fertilization, soil refilling, harvesting, and environmental temperature control. It is preferable to accomplish this efficiently under the following conditions. In addition, the soil container has an open top surface, a sloped circumferential surface, and one or more downward drainage grooves formed on the bottom surface to promote drainage efficiency. If so, it is possible to achieve the growth of tt-a crops.

Furthermore, if the workbench is configured such that one or more drainage grooves are provided on the upper surface and the downward drainage groove of the soil container can be placed in the drainage groove, the soil container can be placed on the workbench. The drainage work can be accomplished accurately.

Furthermore, if a pipe is laid through a communication port below the drainage groove of the workbench, and this pipe serves as a ventilation and drainage channel, it will effectively supply oxygen to the roots of the crops and provide drainage. Can be done.

"Function" In a control room divided into sections on one side of the growth room through which solar heat can pass, prepare a large number of soil containers containing sown and fertilized growing soil or a large number of soil containers containing multiple growth pots. do. Next, the above-mentioned large number of soil containers are suspended using a crane device, transported to an adjacent cultivation room, and placed one after another on a plurality of work tables of appropriate height so as to correspond to pipes through which hot or cold water can flow. urge

When placing the soil container on the workbench, one or more drain grooves provided on the bottom surface of the soil container are placed in advance in one or more drainage grooves provided on the top surface of the workbench. By fitting and placing the soil container so that the υ1 water convex grooves engage with each other, you can accurately install the soil container at the specified position on the workbench. It communicates with the ventilation/drainage channel and can supply air to the growing soil or growing pot.

Then, the temperature inside the growing room will be raised by the incident solar heat, and the growing soil or growing pot will be heated to a temperature suitable for growing by the heating action of the hot water flowing through the pipes. With the replenishment of water and appropriate watering, crops are quickly grown.

Also, during the day when sunlight is strong, when the temperature inside the growing room rises above the required temperature, cold water is passed through the pipes to cool the soil temperature and prevent high temperature damage to the crops. The temperature is lowered to a temperature below 300 ml to allow the seeds to grow.

Once the crops have been grown in the manner described above, a large number of soil containers are transported to the management room using a crane device to harvest the crops, or other operations such as sowing, transplanting, disinfection, soil refilling, and environmental temperature control are carried out. After this, the growing work may be repeated by placing it on the workbench in the growing room using a crane device again.

Therefore, in the present invention, by placing the soil container on the workbench and performing the cultivation work, the operator can efficiently accomplish the cultivation work while standing in a standing position while saving labor. Since there is no need to use a machine, there will be no plowing in the growing soil, and the growing soil can be completely refilled or sterilized, making continuous cropping possible. Through its use, efficient transportation work can be achieved and more effective crop cultivation work can be carried out.

"Effects of the Invention" Since the present invention is configured as described above, it produces the effects described below.

Numerous cultivating soil containers containing growing soil or multiple growing pots are removably placed on the workbench to correspond to the pipes laid down, so when hot water is circulated through the pipes, the warming effect of drought water can be avoided. This allows you to quickly raise the temperature of the soil container to an appropriate growth temperature and promote the growth of crops.
During the day when the sun's heat is intense, the cold water flowing through the pipes quickly cools the temperature down to the appropriate humidity.
The soil container is removably placed on a workbench at a height that allows workers to carry out growing and cultivating work in a standing position, making the growing and cultivating work more efficient and labor-saving. Not only is it possible to carry out this method, but since no tiller or the like is used, there is no occurrence of plowing caused by treading pressure, and the aggregated nature of the soil can be maintained at all times.

Furthermore, since multiple workbenches with cultivating soil containers placed on them are installed in a growing room where solar heat is transmitted and circulated, the outside temperature is maintained so that the growing room is at an appropriate temperature due to the heat absorption effect of solar heat transmission. We have installed a crane device in the cultivation room, so even if it is a heavy soil container, it can be maintained easily.
Using a crane device, it is possible to easily transport the product to the desired location and to efficiently accomplish the installation work while saving labor.

In addition, the cultivation room is divided into two rooms, the cultivation and cultivation room and the management room, so the cultivation and cultivation of crops can be carried out in the dedicated cultivation and cultivation room, including sowing, transplanting, disinfection, fertilization, and soil refilling. Since integrated operations such as harvesting, environment control, temperature control, etc. can be carried out separately within the control room and carried out in a centralized manner, continuous cropping can be done in one cycle.

In addition, the soil container has an open upper surface, a sloped circumferential surface, and one or more downward V1 water convex grooves formed on the garden surface, making it easy to store growing soil or growing pots. As it is made easier, drainage work can be carried out more accurately and efficiently.

Further, the upper surface of the workbench is provided with one or more drainage grooves that are engaged with the downward drainage grooves of the soil container, and
Since the drainage groove is connected to a pipe which serves as a ventilation and drainage channel through a communication port, the soil container can be placed in a predetermined position on the workbench accurately, and the drainage discharged from the soil container can be properly installed. It is possible to concentrate drainage, and also to allow air to naturally flow into the soil container, thereby promoting the growth of crops.
