The device is made up of: The suspension system is a device that can be deployed to hold the plant in place. The stems (including the flowers) grow upwards, so that the plant is suspended. The part is a part of the greenhouse, and the hanging means is a suitable connecting means, but the end of the hanging means is a part of the greenhouse. At least a majority of the horizontal crop filament is suspended. The vertical crop filament is connected to the bottom of the greenhouse. That which is, is. [Background technology]

[0002] Japanese Patent Specification (JP Patent Publication No. 2019-129766, hereinafter referred to as "Patent Document 1") . ) discloses, inter alia, an apparatus in which the resultant warm water of the preceding paragraph is cultivated. In this device, the exchange of pollen occurs in the flowers of the various greenhouse plants. For this purpose, the method provided in US Pat. is such a device, the components of which are vibration generators. The vibration generator is (directly) coupled to the horizontal crop wire (32). The vibrations generated by the horizontal crop wires and the greenhouse suspended therefrom are induced As a result of these vibrations, the pollen in the flowers of the plant vibrates. The pollen then attaches to the pistils of the flowers of the surrounding greenhouse plants. (the pistil), whose purpose is to fertilize the flower, grow it and produce fruit. In the document 1, a vibration generator (40) is used to vibrate a crop wire. In addition to the first vibration generator (42), a second vibration generator (42) is used. The cultivation bed (24) is vibrated.

[0003] The disadvantages of the device known from the patent document 1 are, inter alia, the following: One is required per crop wire. As a result, many vibration generators are required. The only thing that is important is that all of these vibration generators are powered and The same situation applies to the (clearly necessary) second It is a vibration generator that vibrates the breeding bed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Provided as an object of the present invention is an improved embodiment of such an apparatus, in which A substantially better and more efficient distribution of mechanical vibrations to the (mass) greenhouse plants is achieved. A comparative configuration is proposed in Patent Document 1.

[0005] To this end, the present invention provides an apparatus in which the resulting This is a greenhouse plant (hereinafter referred to as the "growth device"). is a suspension system that allows the plant part to hang down. extending upwardly and connected thereto are the plant parts and a horizontal crop wire; and a vertical crop wire at least partially suspending the horizontal crop wire; The growth device is composed of at least one vibration generator and The vibrating wire is one or more wires connected to the The vertical crop wire crosses the vibrating wire when the vibrating wire is connected to the At least a portion of the vertical crop wire is in this position. During rotation, the vibrations (mainly in the longitudinal direction) generated by the at least one vibration generator are transmitted to: The one or more vibrating wires through which the vibration of the vibrating wires is subsequently transmitted. are the vertical and horizontal crop wires, and the vibration is transmitted to The plant is suspended in the air. In this case, the one or more vibrating wires are formed by two Loop-shaped ("circumvolving") vibration of layers The vibrating wire is made up of a horizontal section that extends substantially The wire that crosses the ground is the vertical wire, and both ends of the wire are and two, preferably rotating or pivoting, coupling members that rotate or pivot to some degree. The two ends of the vibrating wire are connected to the same vibration generator (two of which vibrate with each other). connection point).

[0006] The invention is based on the following insight: what is coupled is the vibration emission The vibrating device and the vibrating wire, and the vertical crop wire (their connection positions (e.g., The two ends of the range of existence (approximately the center of the lower range) are the vertices of the relevant crop wire (e.g. , where the crop wire is attached to a known roofing material. The (horizontal) crop wire allows for more than one vibrating crop wire. The means is a single vibration generator. Patent Document 1 is a patent document 1. There, a vibration generator is separately required, and each vibration is generated by them. It is each crop wire that moves.

[0007] An unexpected consequence of this insight is the following possibilities: (1) Instead of a single vibrating wire, multiple or multi-layered vibrating wires are used, in a sense. The mechanism that drives them is a single vibration generator. (2) In particular, the means for forming the vibrating wire is, as described above, a two-layer (e.g., loop a) vibrating wire; (3) The vibrating wire is made up of horizontal portions that are substantially expanded (extend horizontally). The wire is a crop wire that crosses the wire, and both ends of the wire are connected to two wires, preferably a connecting member that rotates or pivots to some degree; (4) Both ends of the vibrating wire are connected to the same vibration generator (two of which vibrate with each other). points), and (5) Preferably, the vertical crop wires are alternately connected to the double-layer loops. one and the other horizontal portion of the vibrating wire having a shape.

[0008] Preferably, the vibration generator and both ends of the loop-shaped vibrating wire are disposed within the range. The two ends of the enclosure are two connecting members, respectively. This results in a symmetrical and therefore stable and robust structure. It is, overall, a very low vibration because the symmetric vibrations are in antiphase with each other. In this configuration, the vertical crop wire is preferably connected to the The two-layer loop-shaped vibrating wire is a horizontal part on one side and another side. Its purpose is to When the wires are at rest, they tilt slightly, and their lower connection points are displaced slightly. The direction of the vibration is the side of the vibration motor. The weight of the plant suspended by the horizontal crop wire is added to the inclined crop wire. Therefore, horizontal tension (pretension or bias tension) acts on the The vibrating wire is a related element, and both ends of its working range are (slightly displaced) The lower connection point (connected to the lower end of the wire) and the connection point of the vibrating wire and the vibration generator. Effect, i.e., it is the crop wire and the vibrating wire that are coupled together, in such a way that The hanging angle of the crop wire is slightly inclined (compared to the vertical direction). The weight of the plant creates a horizontal tension vector (pretension), The location where this occurs is the vibrating wire. As a result, the vibrating wire can be What is important is to maintain good tensile stress. This allows the vibration to be efficiently transmitted to: The crop wire and the plants hanging from it. What is not involved is the efficiency deficiencies due to fragile vibrating wires and parts thereof.

[0009] In this way, the following is achieved: The vibration, the source of which is the vibration generator, causes the vertical crop wire to vibrate. The plant that is suspended from this also begins to vibrate. As a result, the flowers of the plant Pollen is released and the plants pollinate and fertilize each other.

[0010] By using the loop-shaped vibrating wire, the speed of the vibration can be better controlled. The vibration wire and the process are connected. The crop wire can do the following: Tilt the wire slightly, say about 3 centimeters (comparison is perfectly vertical). ), and by moving it in the direction toward the vibration generator, the traction force is The problem is that the pollination is done by a large number of rows of plants, and the method is vibration. The cost of the entire system of the present invention is very competitive. ) Vibrating wire systems, comprising (for example) a rotating wheel or a rotating body (tumbler) What happens in all the wires is the same vibration, because the wire is a coil. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0011] In describing the present invention in detail, reference is made to the following description of the figures.

[0012] Shown in FIG. 1 is one embodiment of the device of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the device of the present invention (hereinafter, referred to as "the device"). , which results in greenhouse plants (e.g. tomatoes, peppers, etc.) being grown therein. This device is composed of a suspension system 1, The plant holder 1a is provided on the hanging device 1. Then, part 2 of the plant (which includes the flower) grows upwards and is used The plant fastener 1a and suitable fastening means 1b are attached to the plant part 2 by means of a heating element. A horizontal crop wire 3 runs through the room (its entire length or width).

[0014] Most of the horizontal crop wires 3 (their ends are usually connected to the wall frame of the greenhouse) ) is suspended from a substantially vertical crop wire 4. Side 4a is connected to the greenhouse (its top frame).

[0015] The device of the present invention comprises: <1> (At least one) vibration generator 5 (e.g., a vibration motor or a vibration magnet, etc.); and , <2> The vibrating wire 6 is constituted by a vibrating wire portion 6a (further divided The items are 6a', 6a''), 6b, and <2A> The vibrating wire portions 6a and 6b are connected to the vibration generator 5 (on both sides thereof), and <2B> The vibrating wire parts 6a and 6b are essentially spread out (extending horizontally) to cross the vertical crop. Wire 4 (main direction) and <2C> The vibration wire parts 6a and 6b are connected to at least a part of the vertical crop wire 4, The bonding method is a bonding means.

[0016] By arranging as described above, during operation, the (at least one) vibration generator 5 What occurs in the axial direction is a (substantially longitudinal) vibration (reference arrows 7a, 7b). The locations where this occurs are the vibrating wire portions 6a and 6b.

[0017] The vibrating wire portions 6a and 6b (which together form the loop-shaped vibrating wire 6) The wires that are essentially spread across the field are the vertical crop wires 4, the width of which is Each end of the range has two, preferably some degree of rotation or pivoting, connections. Means 8 (for example, a rotating body (roller) or a swinging shackle (swing)) The vibrating wire 6 is connected to the side of a greenhouse, for example. Both ends 6c are loop-shaped, and are connected to the same vibration generator 5.

[0018] The connection points of the vertical crop wires 4 are the lower connection points 4b, and the vertical crop wires 4 are alternately connected. The wires are connected to one vibrating wire portion 6a and the other vibrating wire portion 6b. In the embodiment, the vibrating wire portions 6a and 6b together form a two-layer loop-shaped vibrating wire. 6. The vertical crop wire 4 and one vibrating wire portion 6a and the other vibrating wire portion 6b are alternately connected. The vibrating wire portion 6b (which together form a two-layer loop-shaped vibrating wire 6) In this way, adjacent vertical crop wires 4 are in antiphase with each other and are suspended by them. Similarly, the adjacent horizontal crop wires 3 are in opposite phase to each other. As a result, the mutual amplitudes are , twice as long. But at the same time, the entire vibration system is symmetrical in antiphase with each other. , providing better balance and minimizing external vibrations.

[0019] In one embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a vibration generator 5 and both ends 6 of a loop-shaped vibrating wire 6 are The two ends of the range 9 of existence of c are two connecting members 8. The vibration generator 5 and both ends 6c of the loop-shaped vibrating wire 6 are substantially arranged or The vicinity of the location of the arrangement is the position of one of the two connecting members 8 (for example, the side of the greenhouse). In that case, the vibration generator 5 forms part of the associated connecting member 8 on the greenhouse side. Alternatively, it is to the coupling member 8 that the vibration generator 5 is directly coupled.

[0020] The apparatus further comprises control means for (among other things) disposing The purpose of this is to ensure that the operation time of the vibration generator is intermittent (e.g., once per hour). (for a maximum of 10 seconds).

[0021] In the configuration shown in FIG. 1, the vertical crop wires 4 are preferably connected to , one horizontal portion 6a and the other horizontal portion 6b of the double-layered loop-shaped vibrating wire 6. The purpose is to prevent the vertical crop wire 4 from tilting slightly (comparatively) when suspended at rest (dotted line 4'). The reference point is the vertical direction / perpendicular line 4c) drawn on the diagram, i.e. their lower junction The direction in which the connection point 4b moves slightly (for example, about 3 centimeters) is the direction toward the position of the vibration generator 5. In the above-mentioned method, when the vertical crop wire 4 is suspended, The weight of the plant 2 suspended by the horizontal crop wire 3 is added to the tilted position. Therefore, the horizontal tension F acts on the relevant parts 6a and 6b of the vibrating wire. The two ends of the range of action are the lower connection point 4b and the vibrating wire and the vibration generator 5. The connection points are the crop wire 4 and the vibration wire 6. In this way, the crop wire 4 is slightly tilted when it is suspended (compared to a vertical orientation). The horizontal tension is caused by the weight of the plant 2. The location of the force vector F is the vibrating wire 6. This causes the vibrating wire to Without any means, it is good tension that is maintained, so that the vibration is efficient. And the destination of the light is the crop wire 3 and the plant 2 hanging thereon. What is not involved is a lack of efficiency, caused by loose vibrating wire 6 and its parts. That is, it is.

[0022] What is consequently provided in the present invention is an improved embodiment and corresponding device. The result is a greenhouse plant. a live organ, the use of which is cross-pollination of the greenhouse plants, A sufficiently good and more efficient transmission and distribution of mechanical vibrations to the greenhouse plants is achieved. The loop-shaped vibrating wire ( By using a rotating wire, the speed of vibration is better controlled. The process and the system are more stable. The crop wires are slightly tilted. The vibrating wire maintains (pre)tension and pollinates more rows of plants. As a result, the cost of the entire system of the present invention is very competitive. Also, the system as a whole has low vibration operation.
