本発明の水耕栽培装置の作用について説明する。
図3(A)に示すように、栽培ケース部3は、植物収納室10の室温が、設定記憶手段26に記憶させた所定の設定育成適温域の下限値T未満である際、制御部6によって、第1ファン1を常時稼働させ、かつ、第2ファン2が非稼働乃至間欠稼働に制御される。第2ファン2の間欠稼働とは、例えば、1時間の内、5分間だけ稼働し、それ以外の時間は停止している状態とする。第1ファン1が稼働することで、植物収納室10から光源室20に空気が送られ、外気取込口7からの外気と混ざり合って光源室20内を流通する。光源室20を流れる空気が、照射器5の発する熱を吸収して、温度上昇する。照射器5の発熱により加温された空気は、第2ファン2が非稼働(又は間欠稼働)であるため、外部に排出されずに、光源室20から植物収納室10に環流する。このように、植物収納室10の換気吸出口18から出た空気が、光源室20での加温を経て、植物収納室10の換気吸入口19に吸い込まれる状態を、冬季循環運転状態とし、冬季循環運転状態では、植物収納室10の室温が、照射器5の熱によって、次第に上昇する。また、栽培ケース部3内で空気を循環させることで、植物Pの葉の表面に適度な空気の流れを発生させて、光合成を促進する。
The effect | action of the hydroponic cultivation apparatus of this invention is demonstrated.
As shown in FIG. 3 (A), when cultivated case portion 3, room temperature plant storage chamber 10 is less than the lower limit value T 0 of the predetermined set foster appropriate temperature range that is stored in the setting storage unit 26, the control unit 6, the first fan 1 is always operated, and the second fan 2 is controlled to be non-operating or intermittent operation. The intermittent operation of the second fan 2 is, for example, a state in which the second fan 2 is operated for 5 minutes in one hour and is stopped for other times. By operating the first fan 1, air is sent from the plant storage chamber 10 to the light source chamber 20, and mixes with the outside air from the outside air intake 7 and circulates in the light source chamber 20. The air flowing through the light source chamber 20 absorbs the heat generated by the irradiator 5 and rises in temperature. The air heated by the heat generated by the irradiator 5 circulates from the light source chamber 20 to the plant storage chamber 10 without being discharged outside because the second fan 2 is not in operation (or intermittent operation). Thus, the state in which the air that has exited from the ventilation suction port 18 of the plant storage room 10 is sucked into the ventilation suction port 19 of the plant storage room 10 through heating in the light source room 20 is referred to as a winter circulation operation state. In the winter circulation operation state, the room temperature of the plant storage room 10 gradually increases due to the heat of the irradiator 5. Moreover, by circulating air in the cultivation case part 3, an appropriate air flow is generated on the surface of the leaves of the plant P to promote photosynthesis.

次に、冬季循環運転状態下で植物収納室10の室温が上昇して、設定育成適温域の上限値Tを超えた際、制御部6によって、第1ファン1と第2ファン2を常時稼働させるよう自動的に切換える。
図3(B)に示すように、第2ファン2が稼働することで、照射器5の発熱により加温された空気が、光源室20から外部へ排出される。照射器5の発する熱が空気と共に外部へ放出される状態を、換気運転状態とし、換気運転状態下で、植物収納室10の室温は、徐々に低下していく。そして、植物収納室10の室温が下降して、設定育成適温域の下限値Tを再び下回った際、制御部6によって自動的に冬季循環運転状態に切り換えられ、植物収納室10の室温が、植物Pの育成に適した設定育成適温域に維持されるよう構成されている。
なお、設定育成適温域は、具体的には、下限値Tが10℃〜15℃、上限値Tが20℃〜25℃に設定されるのが好ましい。設定記憶手段26には、出荷時に設定育成適温域を予め記憶させておくも良く、操作部33によって自由に設定育成適温域を入力・変更できるようにしても良い。
Next, when the room temperature of the plant storage room 10 rises in the winter circulation operation state and exceeds the upper limit value T 1 of the set appropriate temperature range, the control unit 6 always turns the first fan 1 and the second fan 2 on. Automatically switch to run.
As shown in FIG. 3 (B), when the second fan 2 is operated, the air heated by the heat generated by the irradiator 5 is discharged from the light source chamber 20 to the outside. The state in which the heat generated by the irradiator 5 is released to the outside together with air is defined as a ventilation operation state, and the room temperature of the plant storage room 10 gradually decreases under the ventilation operation state. Then, the room temperature is lowered in the plant storage chamber 10, when it falls below again lower limit value T 0 configuration foster appropriate temperature range, automatically switched in winter circulation operation state by the control unit 6 and climate plants containing chamber 10 The plant P is configured to be maintained in a set and suitable temperature range suitable for growing the plant P.
In addition, specifically, it is preferable that the lower limit value T 0 is set to 10 ° C. to 15 ° C. and the upper limit value T 1 is set to 20 ° C. to 25 ° C. The setting storage means 26 may store a set growth appropriate temperature range in advance at the time of shipment, or the operation unit 33 may freely input / change the set growth appropriate temperature range.

本発明の水耕栽培装置の作用について説明する。
図3(A)に示すように、栽培ケース部3は、植物収納室10の室温が、設定記憶手段26に記憶させた所定の設定育成適温域の下限値T未満である際、制御部6によって、第1ファン1を常時稼働させ、かつ、第2ファン2が非稼働乃至間欠稼働に制御される。第2ファン2の間欠稼働とは、例えば、1時間の内、5分間だけ稼働し、それ以外の時間は停止している状態とする。第1ファン1が稼働することで、植物収納室10から光源室20に空気が送られ、外気取込口7からの外気と混ざり合って光源室20内を流通する。光源室20を流れる空気が、照射器5の発する熱を吸収して、温度上昇する。照射器5の発熱により加温された空気は、第2ファン2が非稼働(又は間欠稼働)であるため、外部に排出されずに、光源室20から植物収納室10に環流する。このように、植物収納室10の換気吸出口18から出た空気が、光源室20での加温を経て、植物収納室10の換気吸入口19に吸い込まれる状態を、冬季循環運転状態とし、冬季循環運転状態では、植物収納室10の室温が、照射器5の熱によって、次第に上昇する。また、栽培ケース部3内で空気を循環させることで、植物Pの葉の表面に適度な空気の流れを発生させて、光合成を促進する。
The effect | action of the hydroponic cultivation apparatus of this invention is demonstrated.
As shown in FIG. 3 (A), when cultivated case portion 3, room temperature plant storage chamber 10 is less than the lower limit value T 0 of the predetermined set foster appropriate temperature range that is stored in the setting storage unit 26, the control unit 6, the first fan 1 is always operated, and the second fan 2 is controlled to be non-operating or intermittent operation. The intermittent operation of the second fan 2 is, for example, a state in which the second fan 2 is operated for 5 minutes in one hour and is stopped for other times. By operating the first fan 1, air is sent from the plant storage chamber 10 to the light source chamber 20, and mixes with the outside air from the outside air intake 7 and circulates in the light source chamber 20. The air flowing through the light source chamber 20 absorbs the heat generated by the irradiator 5 and rises in temperature. The air heated by the heat generated by the irradiator 5 circulates from the light source chamber 20 to the plant storage chamber 10 without being discharged outside because the second fan 2 is not in operation (or intermittent operation). Thus, the state in which the air that has exited from the ventilation suction port 18 of the plant storage room 10 is sucked into the ventilation suction port 19 of the plant storage room 10 through heating in the light source room 20 is referred to as a winter circulation operation state. In the winter circulation operation state, the room temperature of the plant storage room 10 gradually increases due to the heat of the irradiator 5. Moreover, by circulating air in the cultivation case part 3, an appropriate air flow is generated on the surface of the leaves of the plant P to promote photosynthesis.

次に、冬季循環運転状態下で植物収納室10の室温が上昇して、設定育成適温域の上限値Tを超えた際、制御部6によって、第1ファン1と第2ファン2を常時稼働させるよう自動的に切換える。
図3(B)に示すように、第2ファン2が稼働することで、照射器5の発熱により加温された空気が、光源室20から外部へ排出される。照射器5の発する熱が空気と共に外部へ放出される状態を、換気運転状態とし、換気運転状態下で、植物収納室10の室温は、徐々に低下していく。そして、植物収納室10の室温が下降して、設定育成適温域の下限値Tを再び下回った際、制御部6によって自動的に冬季循環運転状態に切り換えられ、植物収納室10の室温が、植物Pの育成に適した設定育成適温域に維持されるよう構成されている。
なお、設定育成適温域は、具体的には、下限値Tが10℃〜15℃、上限値Tが20℃〜25℃に設定されるのが好ましい。設定記憶手段26には、出荷時に設定育成適温域を予め記憶させておくも良く、操作部33によって自由に設定育成適温域を入力・変更できるようにしても良い。
Next, when the room temperature of the plant storage room 10 rises in the winter circulation operation state and exceeds the upper limit value T 1 of the set appropriate temperature range, the control unit 6 always turns the first fan 1 and the second fan 2 on. Automatically switch to run.
As shown in FIG. 3 (B), when the second fan 2 is operated, the air heated by the heat generated by the irradiator 5 is discharged from the light source chamber 20 to the outside. The state in which the heat generated by the irradiator 5 is released to the outside together with air is defined as a ventilation operation state, and the room temperature of the plant storage room 10 gradually decreases under the ventilation operation state. Then, the room temperature is lowered in the plant storage chamber 10, when it falls below again lower limit value T 0 configuration foster appropriate temperature range, automatically switched in winter circulation operation state by the control unit 6 and climate plants containing chamber 10 The plant P is configured to be maintained in a set and suitable temperature range suitable for growing the plant P.
In addition, specifically, it is preferable that the lower limit value T 0 is set to 10 ° C. to 15 ° C. and the upper limit value T 1 is set to 20 ° C. to 25 ° C. The setting storage means 26 may store a set growth appropriate temperature range in advance at the time of shipment, or the operation unit 33 may freely input / change the set growth appropriate temperature range.

ここで、植物育成ユニット15について、詳しく説明する。
図1と図2に示すように、植物育成ユニット15は、栽培容器4に収容した液体肥料Lに植物Pを浸漬させて養分を供給しつつ、植物Pを保持している。
栽培ケース部3の植物収納室10には、2個の植物育成ユニット15,15が収納されていて、各植物育成ユニット15に相違する植物Pを栽培し、2種類の植物P,Pを同時に育てることができ、あるいは、2個の植物育成ユニット15,15で植物P,Pの収穫時期をずらして栽培することが可能である。
Here, the plant growing unit 15 will be described in detail.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the plant growing unit 15 holds the plant P while immersing the plant P in the liquid fertilizer L accommodated in the cultivation container 4 to supply nutrients.
Two plant growing units 15 and 15 are stored in the plant storage room 10 of the cultivation case unit 3, and plants P different from each plant growing unit 15 are cultivated, and two types of plants P and P are simultaneously used. It is possible to grow the plants, or the two plant growing units 15 and 15 can cultivate the plants P and P at different harvest times.

図4に示すように、栽培容器4は、液体肥料Lを収容するトレイ8と、トレイ8の開口部に施蓋されて植物Pを保持するパネル9とを、有している。
パネル9は、植物Pを差し込んで保持する栽培孔21が複数形成されている。栽培孔21には、植物P又は植物Pの種子を保持するための培地スポンジが差込まれ、植物Pが生長してくると、植物Pの根が液体肥料Lに浸漬されるよう構成されている。あるいは、栽培孔21に、植物Pを直接差込んで、植物Pの根を液体肥料Lに浸漬しても良い。なお、パネル9は、液体肥料Lの残量を確認するフロート23を有するも好ましく、また、トレイ8からパネル9を取り外す際のピックアップ用のツマミ22が設けられても良い。
As shown in FIG. 4, the cultivation container 4 includes a tray 8 that stores the liquid fertilizer L, and a panel 9 that is covered by the opening of the tray 8 and holds the plant P.
The panel 9 has a plurality of cultivation holes 21 into which the plant P is inserted and held. In the cultivation hole 21, a medium sponge for holding the plant P or the seed of the plant P is inserted, and when the plant P grows, the root of the plant P is immersed in the liquid fertilizer L. Yes. Alternatively, the plant P may be directly inserted into the cultivation hole 21 and the root of the plant P may be immersed in the liquid fertilizer L. The panel 9 preferably has a float 23 for checking the remaining amount of the liquid fertilizer L, and a knob 22 for picking up when removing the panel 9 from the tray 8 may be provided.

図5に示すように、パネル9は、一端縁に、ヒンジによって揺動自在の帯状副蓋部24を備え、副蓋部24を起立させることで、トレイ8に液体肥料Lを補給するための注ぎ口16が形成される。注ぎ口16を開いた状態で、副蓋部24が壁となり、液体肥料Lがこぼれにくいという利点がある。注ぎ口16は、副蓋部24を上下に揺動することで開閉自在となっている。副蓋部24は、開閉時に指で摘むための摘持部24aを有している。また、使用していない(植物Pが差し込まれていない)栽培孔21を閉塞するためのキャップ部材27,27が着脱自在に設けられている。
植物収納室10に照射される照射器5の光が、栽培孔21や注ぎ口16から入射して液体肥料Lに当ると、アオコの発生原因となる虞れがある。この為、アオコの発生を防止するために、液体肥料Lを補給する時以外は副蓋部24を倒して注ぎ口16を閉め、植物Pが差し込まれていない栽培孔21を、キャップ部材27によって閉塞しておく。なお、キャップ部材27は、栽培孔21に差込まれる差込部27Aと、差込部27Aの上端に連結された畝(うね)型の傘部27Bとを、有し、キャップ部材27を栽培孔21に差し込んだ状態(図5参照)で、パネル9と傘部27Bが、畑に畝が盛られたように見えるデザインに形成され、なおかつ、キャップ部材27の取付・取外しの際、傘部27Bの縁に指を掛け易い利点がある。
なお、パネル9の注ぎ口16は、開閉式(稼働式)でなくても良く、単に、パネル9に液体肥料Lを注入するための孔部を追加するも好ましい。
As shown in FIG. 5, the panel 9 is provided with a band-shaped sub lid portion 24 that is swingable by a hinge at one end edge, and the sub lid portion 24 is raised to replenish the tray 8 with liquid fertilizer L. A spout 16 is formed. In the state where the spout 16 is opened, the sub lid portion 24 becomes a wall, and there is an advantage that the liquid fertilizer L is not easily spilled. The spout 16 can be opened and closed by swinging the sub lid portion 24 up and down. The sub lid part 24 has a gripping part 24a for picking with a finger when opening and closing. Moreover, cap members 27 and 27 for closing the cultivation hole 21 which is not used (the plant P is not inserted) are detachably provided.
If the light of the irradiator 5 irradiated to the plant storage room 10 enters from the cultivation hole 21 or the spout 16 and hits the liquid fertilizer L, there is a possibility that it may cause the occurrence of the water-bloom. For this reason, in order to prevent the occurrence of sea cucumber, except when replenishing the liquid fertilizer L, the sub lid portion 24 is tilted to close the spout 16 and the cultivation hole 21 into which the plant P is not inserted is removed by the cap member 27. Block it. In addition, the cap member 27 has the insertion part 27A inserted in the cultivation hole 21, and the ridge-shaped umbrella part 27B connected to the upper end of the insertion part 27A. When inserted into the cultivation hole 21 (see FIG. 5), the panel 9 and the umbrella portion 27B are formed in a design that looks as if the vines are piled up in the field, and when the cap member 27 is attached / detached, the umbrella There is an advantage that it is easy to put a finger on the edge of the portion 27B.
In addition, the spout 16 of the panel 9 may not be an open / close type (operation type), and it is also preferable to simply add a hole for injecting the liquid fertilizer L into the panel 9.

また、図2と図3に示すように、栽培容器4は、トレイ8内の液体肥料Lを循環させる循環ポンプ17が付設されている。
循環ポンプ17は、液体肥料Lを吸入・吐出して、植物Pの根に十分な酸素と養分の吸収を促す。
植物収納室10の室温が、設定記憶手段26に記憶させた設定育成適温域の上限値T(20℃〜25℃)未満であれば、制御部6によって、循環ポンプ17が常時稼働するように制御される。即ち、冬季には、循環ポンプ17の稼働に伴って発生する熱が、植物収納室10の室温の維持に利用されるよう構成されている。
また、設定育成適温域の上限値Tより少し高温のポンプ稼働調整温度T(具体的には、25℃〜30℃)を設定し、このポンプ稼働調整温度Tを超えた際、制御部6によって、循環ポンプ17を間欠稼働に切換える。循環ポンプ17の間欠稼働とは、例えば、1時間の内、15分間ポンプが稼働し、それ以外の時間は停止している状態とする。つまり、気温の上昇する夏季には、循環ポンプ17の熱により植物収納室10の室温が上昇しすぎるのを防止する。
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the cultivation container 4 is provided with a circulation pump 17 that circulates the liquid fertilizer L in the tray 8.
The circulation pump 17 sucks and discharges the liquid fertilizer L and promotes absorption of sufficient oxygen and nutrients into the roots of the plant P.
If the room temperature of the plant storage room 10 is less than the upper limit value T 1 (20 ° C. to 25 ° C.) of the set appropriate temperature range stored in the setting storage means 26, the control unit 6 causes the circulation pump 17 to always operate. Controlled. That is, in the winter season, the heat generated with the operation of the circulation pump 17 is used to maintain the room temperature of the plant storage room 10.
In addition, a pump operation adjustment temperature T 2 (specifically, 25 ° C. to 30 ° C.) slightly higher than the upper limit value T 1 of the set appropriate growth temperature range is set, and when this pump operation adjustment temperature T 2 is exceeded, control is performed. The circulation pump 17 is switched to intermittent operation by the unit 6. The intermittent operation of the circulation pump 17 is, for example, a state in which the pump is operated for 15 minutes in one hour and is stopped for other times. That is, in summer when the temperature rises, the room temperature of the plant storage chamber 10 is prevented from rising too much due to the heat of the circulation pump 17.
