Description

本発明は、植物保持部を有した栽培パネルを液体に浮かべて植物を搬送する栽培システムに関する。   The present invention relates to a cultivation system that conveys a plant by floating a cultivation panel having a plant holding part on a liquid.

従来、植物の栽培方法として、肥料分や溶存酸素を含む養液を貯留した貯留ベッドに栽培パネルを浮かべ、栽培パネルに保持した植物の育成を行うとともに、栽培パネルおよび植物の搬送を行う水耕栽培法が知られている(例えば特許文献1参照。)。   Conventionally, as a cultivation method of plants, hydroponics that floats a cultivation panel on a storage bed that stores a nutrient solution containing fertilizer and dissolved oxygen, grows the plant held in the cultivation panel, and transports the cultivation panel and the plant A cultivation method is known (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).

特開2011−142902号公報JP 2011-142902 A

ところが、特許文献1に記載されるような水耕栽培法では、貯留ベッドのパネル取出位置において、傾斜型のコンベア装置や持ち上げ式のピックアップ装置や人力等によって、養液上に浮かぶ栽培パネルを持ち上げて貯留ベッドから取り出すが、近年、栽培効率を向上させるために栽培パネルが大型化していることから、栽培パネルの下面側との間で生じる養液の表面張力が大きくなり、貯留ベッドから栽培パネルを取り出すのに過大な力を必要とするという問題があった。   However, in the hydroponic cultivation method as described in Patent Document 1, the cultivation panel floating on the nutrient solution is lifted by an inclined conveyor device, a lifting pickup device, human power, or the like at the panel extraction position of the storage bed. In recent years, the cultivation panel has become larger in order to improve the cultivation efficiency, so the surface tension of the nutrient solution generated between the cultivation panel and the lower surface of the cultivation panel has increased. There was a problem that excessive force was required to take out.

また、貯留ベッドから栽培パネルを取り出すのに大きな力を必要とすることから、前述したコンベア装置やピックアップ装置の装置構造が大型化および高コスト化するという問題もあり、また、養液の液面から栽培パネルを引き離す際に養液の液面が荒れ、養液の飛び散り等が生じるという問題もある。   In addition, since a large force is required to take out the cultivation panel from the storage bed, there is a problem that the above-described conveyor device and pickup device have a large and expensive structure. There is also a problem that when the cultivation panel is pulled away from the cultivating panel, the surface of the nutrient solution becomes rough and the nutrient solution scatters.

そこで、本発明は、これらの問題点を解決するものであり、低コストかつ簡素な構成で、小さな力で貯留ベッドから栽培パネルを円滑に取り出すことが可能な栽培システムを提供することを目的とするものである。   Then, this invention solves these problems, and it aims at providing the cultivation system which can take out a cultivation panel smoothly from a storage bed with a small force with a low-cost and simple structure. To do.

本発明は、植物保持部を有した栽培パネルを液体に浮かべて植物を搬送する栽培システムであって、液体を貯留する貯留ベッドと、気泡噴出部を有した気泡発生手段と、前記貯留ベッドのパネル取出位置に配置され、前記栽培パネルを上方に向けて持ち上げる持ち上げ手段とを備え、前記持ち上げ手段は、エアの供給を受けて駆動するエア駆動式で構成され、前記気泡噴出部は、前記貯留ベッドのパネル取出位置において、前記貯留ベッド内に設置され、前記持ち上げ手段の排気を利用して気泡を発生させるように構成されていることにより、前記課題を解決するものである。 The present invention, cultivation panel having a plant holder a cultivation system that transports the plants floating on the liquid, the reservoir bed for storing the liquid, a bubble generating means having a bubble ejection portion, of the reservoir bed And a lifting means that lifts the cultivation panel upward, the lifting means is configured to be driven by air and driven by air, and the bubble jetting portion is the storage unit At the panel extraction position of the bed, it is installed in the storage bed and is configured to generate bubbles using the exhaust of the lifting means, thereby solving the above-mentioned problem.

本請求項1に係る発明によれば、液体を貯留する貯留ベッドと、気泡噴出部を有した気泡発生手段とを備え、気泡噴出部が、貯留ベッドのパネル取出位置において貯留ベッド内に設置されていることにより、パネル取出位置において液体の液面と栽培パネルの下面側との間に気泡が入り込み、栽培パネルの下面側との間で生じる液体の表面張力が弱まるため、低コストかつ簡素な構成で、小さな力で貯留ベッドから栽培パネルをスムーズに取り出すことができる。また、液中で動かす必要のない気泡噴出部を用いて液体の表面張力を弱めることが可能であるため、装置コストを低減することができる。   According to the first aspect of the present invention, the apparatus includes the storage bed for storing the liquid and the bubble generation means having the bubble ejection unit, and the bubble ejection unit is installed in the storage bed at the panel extraction position of the storage bed. As a result, air bubbles enter between the liquid level of the liquid and the lower surface side of the cultivation panel at the panel take-out position, and the surface tension of the liquid generated between the lower surface side of the cultivation panel is weakened. With the configuration, the cultivation panel can be smoothly taken out from the storage bed with a small force. Moreover, since it is possible to weaken the surface tension of a liquid using the bubble ejection part which does not need to move in a liquid, apparatus cost can be reduced.

本請求項に係る発明によれば、栽培パネルを上方に向けて持ち上げる持ち上げ手段がエア駆動式であることにより、共通のエア供給源を利用して、気泡発生手段および持ち上げ手段を稼働させることが可能であるため、設備投資費用を低減することができる。
本請求項に係る発明によれば、気泡発生手段が、持ち上げ手段の排気を利用して気泡を発生させるように構成されていることにより、持ち上げ手段の排気を再利用することが可能であるため、装置構造を簡素化するとともに、運用コストを低減することができる。
本請求項に係る発明によれば、気泡噴出部と持ち上げ手段のエア駆動式の駆動部とが、ユニット化されていることにより、貯留ベッド内への設置が容易になるとともに、貯留ベッド内の環境を簡素にすることができる。
According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the lifting means that lifts the cultivation panel upward is air-driven, the bubble generating means and the lifting means are operated using a common air supply source. Therefore, the capital investment cost can be reduced.
According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the bubble generating means is configured to generate bubbles using the exhaust of the lifting means, the exhaust of the lifting means can be reused. Therefore, the apparatus structure can be simplified and the operation cost can be reduced.
According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the bubble ejection part and the air-driven drive part of the lifting means are unitized, installation in the storage bed is facilitated, and the inside of the storage bed The environment can be simplified.

Is possible.

例えば、上述した実施形態では、貯留ベッドに貯留される液体が、植物の生育に必要とされる肥料分や溶存酸素を含む養液であるものとして説明したが、貯留ベッドに貯留される液体は如何なるものでもよく、例えば、植物を洗うための水等であってもよい。
また、上述した実施形態では、気泡発生手段がエアを噴出し気泡を発生させるものとして説明したが、気泡発生手段からエア以外のガスを噴出させてもよい。この場合、上述した持ち上げ手段についても、同様のガスを駆動源として駆動されるものであることが好ましい。
For example, in the embodiment described above, the liquid stored in the storage bed has been described as a nutrient solution containing fertilizer and dissolved oxygen required for plant growth, but the liquid stored in the storage bed is Any thing may be sufficient, for example, the water etc. for washing a plant may be sufficient.
In the above-described embodiment, the bubble generating unit has been described as ejecting air to generate bubbles. However, gas other than air may be ejected from the bubble generating unit. In this case, it is preferable that the lifting means described above is also driven using the same gas as the drive source.
