Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present utility model relates to a kind of onion cultivation devices.Especially, the present utility model relates to a kind of onion cultivation device for water culture. BACKGROUND

[0002] When water-culturing onion, the most important element is water management. If water management is improper, it can cause the problem of producing stink and leading to onion rot. Since water culture uses water, if water is not replaced every day, bacteria will multiply in water and produce stink. Especially in a high-temperature environment, the state of water can deteriorate faster, so water needs to be replaced frequently.

[0003] Water level adjustment is also an important part. Although the roots of onion need to be in water, if the bottom end is immersed in water, oxygen supply will be cut off, leading to rot.

[0004] In addition, in order to support stems and leaves, onion is mostly cultivated in a flowerpot with a high height. However, when using a flowerpot with too high a height, problems can occur due to poor ventilation. Onion can develop diseases and pests in a humid environment, and if ventilation is poor, it can increase the risk of developing mold or diseases due to insufficient air circulation.

[0005] In summary, when water-culturing onion, water management is necessary, and it is necessary to properly adjust the water level and solve the ventilation problem.

[0066] Structure of the onion cultivation device 10

[0067] Fig. 1 A diagram of a green onion cultivation device 10 according to an embodiment of the present application. Fig. 2 A diagram of a green onion cultivation device 10 according to an embodiment of the present application. Fig. 1 A cross-sectional view of the green onion cultivation device 10 according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0068] The green onion cultivation device 10 according to an embodiment of the present application includes a planting cage 100 and a water receiving tray 200.

[0069] The planting cage 100 is used to accommodate green onions. The green onions are inserted into the planting cage 100 with the roots facing downward and the leaves facing upward.

[0070] The water receiving tray 200 is used to accommodate water. The water receiving tray 200 is combined with the lower side of the planting cage 100. The water accommodated in the water receiving tray 200 is used to supply water to the green onions inserted into the planting cage 100.

[0071] In this case, one of the main cores of the present application is to allow only the root part of the green onions to pass through the planting cage 100 and contact the water receiving tray 200.

[0072] (a) Structure of the base part 110

[0073] The planting cage 100 includes a base portion 110 that forms the lower surface of the planting cage 100. The base portion 110 can be formed in various sizes. In the present embodiment, the front-to-rear direction length of the base portion 110 is greater than the left-to-right direction length.

[0074] The base portion 110 includes a plurality of base portion members 111. Generally, such base portion members 111 can be formed of metal wire. This can bring advantageous effects in terms of air permeability, weight of the product, cost competitiveness, and the like. The plurality of base portion members 111 each extend in the left-right direction and the front-rear direction. As described above, the plurality of base portion members 111 can include not only a metal material but also a plastic material.

[0075] The plurality of base portion members 111 can be arranged in a grid shape. If the interval between two adjacent base portion members 111 is referred to as the size of the mesh of the base portion 110, the size of the mesh of the base portion 110 can be smaller than the diameter of the stem of the onion.

[0076] However, the base portion 110 does not necessarily have to be arranged in a grid shape. For example, if the base portion 110 is not formed of a wire frame structure of a metal material but is formed by injection molding of plastic or the like, it can be formed into a through-hole shape including a circular shape or the like.

[0077] In the case of being formed into a through-hole shape, the bottom end of the onion can also contact the base portion 110 and hang on the base portion 110. The stem and the leaves of the onion will be located on the upper side of the base portion 110, and the root of the onion will pass through the through-hole of the base portion 110 and extend to the lower side of the base portion 110 to grow.

[0078] (b) Structure of the frame part 120

[0079] The planting cage 100 includes a frame portion 120. The frame portion 120 extends from the planting cage 100 in the up-down direction.

[0080] Preferably, the frame portion 120 can include a plurality of cells. The onions are respectively accommodated in the plurality of cells. The plurality of cells can be provided side by side in the front-rear direction. For example, the accommodation portion 120 can include 3 cells.

[0081] As Fig. 1 indicated, the accommodation portion 120 can include a first accommodation portion 130, a second accommodation portion 140, and a third accommodation portion 150. The first accommodation portion 130, the second accommodation portion 140, and the third accommodation portion 150 can be provided in order from front to back and formed to different heights. The second accommodation portion 140 can be higher than the first accommodation portion 130, and the third accommodation portion 150 can be higher than the second accommodation portion 140.

[0082] The upper surface of the accommodation portion 120 can be formed into an inclined surface or a stepped shape. Ultimately, the accommodation portion 120 is formed to different heights from each other. Thereby, the user can accommodate the onions into the cells matching the length of the onions. This makes it easier to take out the onions accommodated in the accommodation portion 120 later.

[0083] The first accommodation portion 130 can include a first opening 131 open to an upper portion side. The onion can be inserted from the upper portion to the lower portion through the first opening 131. Likewise, the second accommodation portion 140 can include a second opening 141 open to the upper portion side, and the third accommodation portion 150 can include a third opening 151 open to the upper portion side.

[0084] The first partition 121 is disposed between the first accommodation portion 130 and the second accommodation portion 140, and finally forms the first accommodation portion 130 and the second accommodation portion 140. The second partition 122 is also disposed between the second accommodation portion 140 and the third accommodation portion 150, and thus forms the second accommodation portion 140 and the third accommodation portion 150.

[0085] In Fig. 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the accommodation portion 120 can be formed of a plurality of components disposed in a grid shape. In this case, the plurality of accommodation portion components used can be an accommodation portion upper portion component 123, an accommodation portion longitudinal component 124, and an accommodation portion transverse component 125.

[0086] The accommodation portion upper portion component 123 forms an upper surface of the accommodation portion 120. When the upper surface of the accommodation portion 120 is formed as an inclined surface, the accommodation portion upper portion component 123 can be formed at an angle with respect to the base portion 110, and in this case, the accommodation portion upper portion component 123 can be inclined upward gradually from the front to the rear.

[0087] The accommodation portion longitudinal component 124 extends upward from the base portion 110. The intervals between the accommodation portion longitudinal components 124 are the same as the front-rear direction width or the left-right direction width of each cell.

[0088] The accommodation portion transverse component 125 extends in the front-rear direction or the left-right direction, and connects at least two or more accommodation portion longitudinal components 124. The intervals between the accommodation portion transverse components 125 are narrower than the length of a conventional onion. Thus, the onion can be supported in the lateral direction by the accommodation portion transverse component 125. Also, by the grid-shaped accommodation portion 120, ventilation of the stem and the leaves of the onion can be smoothly achieved.

[0089] The accommodation portion 120 can include accommodation portion through-holes 126 in the lateral direction. Although these accommodation portion through-holes 126 can be formed in various shapes, in the present embodiment, the accommodation portion longitudinal components 124 and the accommodation portion transverse components 125 can be formed in a grid shape. In the case of not being in a grid shape, the through-holes can be formed in a circular shape or other shapes. In this case, the accommodation portion through-holes 126 can be formed by penetrating at least one lateral surface of each cell.

[0090] (c) Structure of the support part 160

[0091] The growing cage 100 includes a support portion 160. The support portion 160 extends downward from the base portion 110.

[0092] The planting cage 100 may include more than one support portion 160 . The planting cage 100 may include: a first support portion 161 extending downward from the left side of the base portion 110 ; and a second support portion 162 extending downward from the right side of the base portion 110 .

[0093] The first support portion 161 includes a support front member 161a extending downward from the front of the base portion 110. The support front member 161a is spaced inward from the edge of the base portion 110. In other words, the support front member 161a is spaced from the front end and left end of the base portion 110.

[0094] The first support portion 161 includes a rear support member 161c extending downward from the rear of the base portion 110. The rear support member 161c may be spaced inward from the edge of the base portion 110. In other words, the rear support member 161c is spaced from the rear end and left end of the base portion 110.

[0095] The first support portion 161 includes a support portion transverse member 161 b extending from a lower end of a support portion front member 161 a toward a lower end of a support portion rear member 161 c .

[0096] (d) Structure of the water receiving tray 200

[0097] Reference Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 The water receiving tray 200 includes a lower container 210 and an upper container 220. The internal space is formed in a shape with an upper portion open, including a lower space 211 formed in the lower container 210 and an upper space 221 formed in the upper container 220. The upper space 221 is connected to the lower space 211, and the planting cage 100 is inserted into the internal space from top to bottom. The upper container 220 extends upward from the lower container 210. The water receiving tray 200 can provide an internal space for accommodating the lower portion of the planting cage 100. The water receiving tray 200 can be formed in a shape corresponding to the shape of the planting cage 100. For example, in the case where the cross-section of the water receiving tray 200 is rectangular, the cross-section of the water receiving tray 200 can also be formed in a rectangular shape.

[0098] The lower container 210 is an open-top structure, for example, in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. The upper container 220 extends outward from the upper end of the lower container 210 and then upward, and may be at a height difference from the lower container 210. In this case, the containers may have different sizes, and the outer and inner sides of the upper container 220 may be at a height difference relative to the outer and inner sides of the lower container 210, respectively.

[0099] The portion of the upper container 220 extending outward from the upper end of the lower container 210 can be referred to as a height difference portion 222. The base portion 110 of the planting cage 100 can be in contact with the height difference portion 222, and the lower surface of the base portion 110 can be in contact with the upper surface (inner surface) of the height difference portion 222. The periphery of the base portion 110 can be in contact with the height difference portion 222, and the central portion can be disposed on the lower space 211. Thus, a space for receiving water is provided on the lower side of the base portion 110, allowing the roots of the green onions to grow toward the lower space 211. If the planting cage 100 is combined with the lower container 210 after the lower container 210 is filled with water, only the roots of the green onions come into contact with the water, and the lower end portion can be prevented from being immersed in the water and rotting.

[0100] When water is supplied to the water receiving tray 200, the water level can be easily adjusted by adjusting the water level based on the height difference portion 222 to be located on the lower side of the height difference portion 222. The lower portion of the receiving portion 120 is combined with the upper container 220 and can be supported by the upper container 220. The upper container 220 serves to prevent the receiving portion 120 from being separated from the water receiving tray 200.

[0101] The support portion 160 is received in the lower space 211 and is in contact with the inner surface of the lower container 210. Thus, the planting cage 100 is fixed in the water receiving tray 200 without shaking left and right. The length of the support portion 160 in the front-rear direction can be less than the width of the lower space 211 in the front-rear direction, and thus the support portion 160 can be easily combined with or separated from the lower space 211.

[0102] The water receiving tray 200 can include a handle 230 protruding toward the outer surface of the water receiving tray 200. For example, the handle 230 can be disposed in front of the upper container 220. Also, the water receiving tray 200 can include a drain 240, which can be disposed on the opposite side of the handle 230.

[0103] The above-described certain embodiment or another embodiment of the present application is not mutually exclusive or different. The above-described certain embodiment or another embodiment of the present application can share or combine the respective structures or functions. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present application can be implemented in other specific embodiments without departing from the spirit and essential characteristics of the present application.
