FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of cultivating mini watermelons in a device for mini watermelon crop rotation in an elevated strawberry greenhouse according to the present invention. Specific details for implementing the invention
[0029] The effects of the present invention are explained using the drawings as follows.
[0030] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a strawberry elevated cultivation device in which a device for mini-watermelon crop rotation is installed in an elevated strawberry greenhouse according to the present invention. The cultivation bed is composed of a cultivation support rod that supports the cultivation bed, and the cultivation bed is provided with topsoil for cultivation and further provided with a water supply pipe for supplying water necessary for cultivation. A temperature control pipeline may be further provided below the topsoil of the cultivation bed so that strawberries do not freeze in winter and mini-watermelons do not have their roots damaged by heat in summer, and the temperature of the roots may be appropriately controlled for cultivation by circulating hot water in winter and cold water in summer.
[0031] FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of a device for mini-watermelon crop rotation in an elevated strawberry greenhouse to be installed in the elevated strawberry cultivation device of the present invention. Mini-watermelons are plants of the Cucurbitaceae family, and flowers bloom and fruits are produced on vines that grow as tendrils. The vines must be guided upwards for the fruits to grow well. Since existing elevated strawberry cultivation devices lack a vine guiding device, a mini-watermelon vine guiding device is additionally combined with the elevated strawberry cultivation device. The elevated strawberry cultivation device is equipped with a cultivation support rod, a cultivation support rod connecting pipe is connected to the cultivation support rod, and a vine guiding extension pipe is further provided inside. The cultivation support rod connecting pipe and the vine guiding extension pipe are fixed with pipe fixing pins by adjusting their lengths and used for guiding mini-watermelon vines.
[0032] FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view illustrating the coupling of a device for mini watermelon crop rotation in an elevated strawberry greenhouse according to the present invention to an elevated strawberry cultivation device. A mini watermelon vine guiding device is coupled to the elevated strawberry cultivation device, a support wire is coupled between the vine guiding extension pipes, and a vine guiding roller is connected to the support wire to guide the vine according to the degree of vine growth and cultivate mini watermelons.
[0033] FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of cultivating mini watermelons in a device for mini watermelon crop rotation in an elevated strawberry greenhouse according to the present invention. As the mini watermelons grow, the vines are guided vertically using a vine guiding roller. An additional sunshade may be used to block strong sunlight, and the sunshade is further equipped with a solar-powered insect repellent to turn on LED lights at night to attract insects and use an electric shock insect repellent to eliminate pests. During the day, the operation of the electric shock insect repellent is stopped to prevent bees from being injured.
[0034] The above-mentioned rope-guiding roller is configured such that a rope is wound around the roller, and the roller is rotated to pull the vine upward simply by pulling the rope, thereby allowing the vine to be guided conveniently.
