Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、栽培用台車に関し、特に、温室やビニルハウス等の植物栽培建屋内で利用される栽培用台車に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
近年、温室やビニルハウス等の限られた広さの植物栽培建屋内で作物を効率よく栽培するために、植物栽培建屋内の地表面にレールを敷設し、そのレール上に植物が載せられた台車を複数配置して植物を栽培することが行われている。これによれば、水遣りや作物の収穫等のために作業者が台車間に入ることのできる最小限の通路さえ空けておけば、台車を次々に移動させて複数の台車上の植物を栽培することができるため、植物栽培建屋内に多くの台車を入れることができ単位面積あたりの収穫量を向上させることができる。
【０００３】
従来の栽培用台車としては、特開平８−１７２９１７号公報（以下、イ号公報という）に「移動式栽培装置」が開示されている。
イ号公報に開示の移動式栽培装置は、上部に配置した栽培ベッドと、栽培ベッドを支持するベッド支持台と、ベッド支持台を支持し栽培ベッドの移動方向に対して直行する方向に延在する回転自在な円柱状のコロと、を備えた構成を有している。
【０００４】
他の栽培用台車としては、特開平９−２８２０６号公報（以下、ロ号公報という）に「移動ベンチ装置」が開示されている。
ロ号公報に開示の移動ベンチ装置は、地面に平行に敷かれた少なくとも２本の案内レールと、案内レールに走行可能に乗せられた複数台のローラ付属脚付ベンチと、を備えた構成を有している。
【０００５】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら上記従来の栽培用台車においては、以下のような課題を有していた。
（１）イ号公報に記載の移動式栽培装置は、コロが転動する摺動板が広く平らなので摺動板上に砂や土石等が乗り易く、コロのスムーズな転動が妨害されて移動が困難になることがあるという課題を有していた。
（２）ロ号公報に記載の移動ベンチ装置は、ベンチ本体に鉢物等の栽培物が載っているだけなので、移動ベンチを移動させる際、特に動き始めや停止するときに鉢物等が転倒したり移動し易く、鉢内の砂や土がこぼれたり栽培物を傷めたりすることがあるという課題を有していた。また、鉢物等の転倒や移動防止のためには移動ベンチを慎重に移動させなければならず、作業性に欠けるという課題を有していた。
（３）パイプ状やＬアングル状の案内レールの上に外形が円筒状のローラが組み合わされた場合は、移動ベンチによる荷重が案内レールとローラとが接触する部分に集中し、磨耗しやすく耐久性に欠けるという課題を有していた。
（４）イ号及びロ号公報に記載の発明は、イチゴ，ナス，トマト等の実のなる栽培物の場合に実を支持することができないので、移動の際、特に動き始めや停止するときに大きく揺れて実が落下したり茎等を折ることがあるという課題を有していた。
（５）また、実や茎を支持することができないので、茎や葉，実が内側に密集し易く、実や葉等の日当たりが悪く色付きが悪くなったり、病害虫の被害に遭い易くなったりするという課題を有していた。
（６）特に、イチゴ等の傷みやすい栽培物の場合は、実が栽培容器や栽培用土に接触すると、接触した部分の通気が悪くなりカビが生えたり病気になり易いという課題を有していた。
（７）生長し茎や葉が繁り実がなった栽培物が台車の外側にまで拡がった場合は、隣り合う台車上の栽培物同士がぶつかり合い、実や茎等を傷めることがあるという課題を有していた。
【０００６】
本発明は上記従来の課題を解決するもので、栽培物の健全な成長を助け色付きが良く品質の良い野菜や果物等を得ることができ、移動時の衝撃によっても栽培物に損傷を与えることがなく品質の向上を図ることができ、さらにスムーズな移動を維持することができるとともに自在性と耐久性に優れメンテナンス性に優れる栽培用台車を提供することを目的とする。
【０００７】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記従来の課題を解決するために本発明の栽培用台車は、以下の構成を有している。
【０００８】
本発明の請求項１に記載の栽培用台車は、台車基部と、前記台車基部に立設された支柱と、前記台車基部に配設され地表面に敷設されたレールに沿って移動する車輪部と、を備えた栽培用台車であって、前記支柱の上部に配設され栽培容器が嵌装される栽培容器収納部と、前記支柱に固定又は回動自在に固定された複数の支持アーム固定部と、前記支持アーム固定部に固定又は摺動自在に固定若しくは脱着自在に固定され、栽培物の茎や実を支持する支持部材を固定する複数の支持アームと、前記台車基部又は前記支柱の所定部に固定された間隔調整部材固定部と、前記間隔調整部材固定部に前記車輪部の移動方向と略平行に移動自在に固定され、他の栽培用台車との間隔を調整する間隔調整部材と、を備えた構成を有している。
この構成により、以下のような作用が得られる。
（１）支柱の上部に配設され栽培容器が嵌装される栽培容器収納部を備えているので、栽培用台車を移動させる際、特に動き始めや停止するときでも栽培容器収納部に嵌装された栽培容器は転倒したり移動しないので、栽培容器内の栽培用土がこぼれたり栽培物を傷めたりすることがなく栽培物の品質の低下を防止できる。
（２）栽培容器収納部と複数の支持アームとを備えているので、支持アームに紐等の支持部材を固定して栽培容器収納部で固定された栽培容器の周囲に配設することによって、イチゴ，ナス，トマト等の野菜や果物等の栽培物の茎や実を支持部材で支持して、移動時の栽培物の揺れを小さく抑えることができ実の落下や茎が折れたりするのを防止することができる。
（３）さらに、支持アームに支持部材を固定した場合は、茎や葉，実を大きく広げて栽培容器等に接触させずに支持することができ、日当たりや風通しを良くして色付きを良くするとともにカビ等の発生を防止して病害虫による被害を防止することができ、栽培物の健全な成長を助け栽培物の品質を向上させることができる。
（４）支柱に回動自在に配設固定された支持アーム固定部に支持アームが固定されている場合は、支持アーム固定部を回動させ支持アームの角度を変えて支持部材の位置を変えれば、葉や茎等が水平方向に大きく広がり実をつける栽培物であっても茎や実を支持することができ自在性に優れる。
（５）支持アーム固定部に支持アームが摺動自在に固定されている場合は、栽培物の種類の違いによる背の高さの違いや栽培物の生長に応じて、支持アームを所望する張り出し長さにし支持部材を保持して栽培物の茎や実を支持することができ自在性に優れる。
（６）支持アームが支持アーム固定部に脱着自在に固定された場合は、栽培物の苗が小さくて実や枝等を支持する必要がない場合や栽培用台車を輸送する場合等には支持アームを取り外すことができるとともに、栽培物の大きさや高さ等に応じて必要な箇所だけに支持アームを固定することができ、自在性に優れるとともに輸送時等に支持アーム固定部や支持アームの破損を防止することができる。
（７）栽培物が生長して茎や葉等が繁り栽培用台車の外側にまで大きく広がっても、間隔調整部材の張り出し長さを調節して間隔調整部材固定部に固定することで、隣り合う栽培用台車の栽培物同士や調整アーム同士がぶつかり合って実や茎等を傷めたり調整アームを損傷させることを防止し、栽培物の品質の低下を防止するとともに栽培用台車の耐久性を高める。
【０００９】

支持アームに固定される支持部材としては、鋼製等のワイヤ、塩化ビニル製等合成樹脂製等のロープやパイプ、鋼製等の丸棒等の線条物が用いられ、支持アームに繋着，溶着，接着等で固定され、栽培容器に植えられた栽培物を取り囲むように配設される。必要に応じて、複数本の支持部材を高さを変えて配設したり、１乃至複数本の支持部材を螺旋状に配設することができる。
なお、支持部材として鋼製等のワイヤ，塩化ビニル製等合成樹脂製等のロープ等を用いた場合は、支持アーム固定部を角部に配設された支柱に固定し該支持アーム固定部に固定された支持アームで支持部材を固定すれば、支持部材を栽培容器収納部に嵌装された栽培容器の外周を取り囲むように配設することができ、栽培容器の全面に栽培物を植えて実や茎を支持することができ栽培効率を高めることができ好ましい。また、支持部材として合成樹脂製等のパイプ、鋼製等の丸棒等を用いた場合は、支持部材を栽培容器収納部に嵌装された栽培容器の外周を取り囲むような形状に形成して、任意の支柱に固定された支持アーム固定部に固定された支持アームで支持部材の所定部を支持すれば同様の効果が得られる。
【００１３】

【００１７】
ここで、支持アームとしては、２本以上の鋼管や合成樹脂パイプ等を摺動自在に嵌装して所定部でボタンラッチ等のラッチ機構やボルトや棒状物を外側の鋼管等から挿通固定して長さを調整するもの等が用いられる。
係止部としては、支持アームの先端側の所定部に形成された環状体，凸部，凹部等が用いられる。
なお、支持部材としては、請求項１で説明したものと同様のものなので、説明を省略する。
【００２０】
本発明の請求項６に記載の発明は、請求項１乃至５の内いずれか１に記載の栽培用台車であって、前記台車基部が、前記車輪部の移動方向と略平行な前記車輪部の外側に配設され前記レールに摺接される土石除去部を備えた構成を有している。
この構成により、請求項１乃至５の内いずれか１で得られる作用に加え、以下のような作用が得られる。

【００２２】
本発明の請求項７に記載の発明は、請求項１乃至６の内いずれか１に記載の栽培用台車であって、前記栽培容器内に敷設される発熱体を備えた構成を有している。
この構成により、請求項１乃至６の内いずれか１で得られる作用に加え、以下のような作用が得られる。
（１）発熱体を備えているので栽培用土を栽培物に適した温度に高めることができ、栽培物の健全な成長を助け栽培物の品質を向上させることができる。
（２）栽培用土の土壌温度を高めることができるので、温室の環境温度と相まって早期栽培を可能にすることができる。
【００２３】
ここで、発熱体としては、所定の電流を流すと発熱し所定温度に上昇するニッケルクロム合金，鉄クロム合金，銅ニッケル合金等の電熱材料で形成された電熱線を耐熱性ナイロン等の耐熱性合成樹脂製の心線の周囲に巻装し、それを耐熱性塩化ビニル等の耐熱性合成樹脂製のチューブやテープで被覆した柔軟性を有する可とう性ヒータ、所定の間隔に配置した該可とう性ヒータにアルミシート等の箔状金属シートを介して耐熱性合成樹脂製のシートで覆った面状ヒータ等が用いられる。可とう性ヒータは電熱線の酸化のおそれがなく柔軟性や安全性が高いので、水を含む栽培用土内に配設しても漏電せず好ましい。なお、熱電対やサーミスタ等の温度センサを栽培用土に埋設し、温度センサが検知する温度に応じて発熱体に流す電流値を制御すると栽培用土の温度が常に一定に保たれるため好ましい。また、発熱体を直接栽培用土に埋設して用いてもよいが、アルミ製やステンレス製等の金属製の中空体に内挿して栽培用土に埋設し中空体を介して栽培用土を加熱してもよい。これにより、発熱体によって加熱された中空体が栽培用土に熱をむらなく均一に伝えるので、栽培用土の加熱効率が高まり省エネルギー性に優れる。
なお、栽培容器内へ発熱体を敷設する場合は、栽培容器に形成された排水用孔部を封止しないような位置に敷設される。栽培用土の水はけが悪くなるからである。また、栽培容器は発泡ポリスチレン製等の断熱性の良好な材質で形成されたものが好ましく用いられる。これにより、栽培容器内の栽培用土の保温性に優れ省エネルギー性に優れる。また、栽培容器と接する栽培容器収納部に断熱性の良好な発泡ポリスチレン製等の断熱材を配設しても同様の保温性や省エネルギー性が得られる。
【００２４】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の一実施の形態を、図面を参照しながら説明する。
（実施の形態１）
図１は本実施の形態１における栽培用台車の正面図であり、図２は本実施の形態１における栽培用台車の斜視図であり、図３は栽培物としてのイチゴを植えた栽培容器を栽培容器収納部に収納した状態を示す要部拡大図である。
図１及び図２において、１は本実施の形態１における栽培用台車、２ａはアルミニウムや鉄材等のアングル部材で作製され台車基部２ｃ（後述する）に複数立設された角柱状の支柱、２ｂは支柱２ａの略央部間を連結し補強する補強ビーム、２ｃは支柱２ａが立設固定され断面コ字型のアングル材で形成された台車基部、２ｄは台車基部２ｃに栽培用台車１の移動方向と略平行に配設され断面コ字型のアングル材で形成され前部と後部に配設された車輪装着部、３は車輪装着部２ｄに回転自在に固着された車輪部、３ａは車輪部３の車輪軸支部、３ｂは車輪部３の車輪軸支部３ａで回転自在に軸支され外周面にＶ溝が形成された車輪、４は支柱２ａの上部に長手方向と略平行な一定の間隔を開けて水平に架設された栽培容器収納部、４ａは支柱２ａの上部の内側面に螺着されたボルトの挿着孔部が形成され栽培容器収納部４を支柱２ａに固着する栽培容器収納部４の固着部、５は上端が開口する略箱型又は略コ型に形成された複数の容器の側壁が嵌装され栽培容器収納部４で上端が開口する箱型に組み合わされて形成され砂や土，肥料等を含有する栽培用土が内装される栽培容器、５ａは栽培容器５の底部の長さ方向の略中央部に所定間隔をあけて形成された排水用孔部、６はロッド状に形成された支持アーム、６ａは支持アーム６の先端部に環状に形成された係止部、７は係止部６ａに係止され複数の支持アーム６間に固定された紐，ワイヤ等の線条物の支持部材、８は支持アーム６の基部側が嵌挿され支持アーム６を支柱２ａに固定する支持アーム固定部、８ａは支持アーム固定部８に穿設された孔部を貫通して支柱２ａに螺着する角度固定ボルトである。角度固定ボルト８ａを緩めると支持アーム固定部８は角度固定ボルト８ａを中心に回動自在となり、角度固定ボルト８ａを締めると支持アーム固定部８を固定することができる。８ｂは支持アーム固定部８に螺設された孔部に螺着され支持アーム固定部８に嵌挿された支持アーム６の基部側を押圧して固定するアーム固定ボルトである。アーム固定ボルト８ｂを緩めると支持アーム６が支持アーム固定部８を摺動自在となり、アーム固定ボルト８ｂを締めると支持アーム６を固定することができる。なお、本実施の形態では、支持アーム固定部８は支柱２ａの内、角部に配設された支柱に配設固定されている。
【００２５】
９は断面Ｖ型に形成され栽培容器５の底部に形成された排水用孔部５ａの下方に配設された排水受け部、１０ａ、１０ｂは一端側で排水受け部９を支持するとともに他端側が支柱２ａに固設された排水受け支持部である。排水受け支持部１０ｂは排水受け支持部１０ａよりも高い位置に配設固定され排水受け部９に勾配をつけ排水を円滑に行うようになっている。１１は排水勾配の付けられた排水受け部９に穿設された孔部に連結され排水受け部９を流れる排水を地表面付近の排水路等に誘導する排水ホース、１２は台車基部２ｃの端部寄りに配設された間隔調整部材固定部、１２ａは間隔調整部材固定部１２に穿設された孔部に嵌挿され間隔調整部材固定部１２内を摺動可能に配設された間隔調整部材、１２ｂは間隔調整部材１２ａの先端部に固着されゴム製や合成樹脂製等で鍔付の略円筒状に形成された緩衝部材、１２ｃは間隔調整部材固定部１２に嵌挿された間隔調整部材１２ａと略直交して間隔調整部材固定部１２に螺着され先端部で間隔調整部材１２ａを押圧して固定する間隔調整部材固定ボルト、１３は車輪部３の外側の台車基部２ｃの下側端部に配設固定され金属製，硬質ゴム製，合成樹脂製等でレール（後述する）と摺接される形状に形成された板状の土石除去部、１４は車輪３ｂに形成されたＶ溝と係合する逆Ｖ型に形成され地表面に敷設されたレールである。
図３において、１５は栽培容器５に内装された栽培用土（図示しない）に植えられたイチゴからなる栽培物である。
【００２６】
以上のように構成された本実施の形態１の栽培用台車について、以下その使用方法及び動作を説明する。
温室やビニルハウス等の植物栽培建屋内（図示せず）の地表面にレール１４を敷設し、レール１４上に栽培用台車１の車輪３ｂを載せる。栽培用台車１は植物栽培建屋の広さに応じてレール１４上に複数台載せることができる。次いで、栽培用台車１の栽培容器収納部４に栽培容器５を嵌装し栽培用土を内装し栽培物１５を植える。アーム調整ボルト８ｂを緩めた後、栽培物１５の高さに応じて支持アーム固定部８内で支持アーム６を摺動させ所望する位置でアーム調整ボルト８ｂを締め、支持アーム６の高さを決定する。次いで、角度固定ボルト８ａを緩め、栽培物１５の広がりに応じて所望する角度に支持アーム固定部８を回動させた後、角度固定ボルト８ａを締め支持アーム固定部８の角度を固定し支持アーム６の角度を決定する。その後、支持アーム６の係止部６ａに紐やワイヤ等の支持部材７を掛架し、栽培物１５を支持する。
次に、間隔調整部材固定部１２の間隔調整部材１２ａの突出長さが、栽培用台車１の移動方向と略平行な方向の栽培物１５や支持アーム６の突出量よりも長くなるように調整する。隣り合う栽培用台車１の支持アーム６や栽培物１５同士がぶつからないようにするためである。間隔調整部材固定部１２の間隔調整部材１２ａの突出長さは、間隔調整部材固定部１２の固定ボルト１２ｃを緩めた後、間隔調整部材１２ａを摺動させて所望する長さに突出させ固定ボルト１２ｃを締めて決定する。
栽培物１５の水遣り等の手入れを行う場合は、まず、レール１４の一番端に載せられた栽培用台車１の栽培物１５の手入れを行った後、その栽培用台車１を移動させ隣りの別の栽培用台車との間に作業者が入ることができるスペースを設けて別の栽培用台車の手入れを行う。これを繰り返すことで、全ての作業用台車に収納された栽培物の手入れを行うことができる。栽培用台車１を移動させるたびに、レール１４に摺接された土石除去部１３がレール１４上に付着した土や泥等を掻き落とすので、車輪３ｂは土や泥等の掻き落とされたレール１４上を転動する。
また、栽培物１５へ水遣りを行うと、栽培容器５内に滞留できない水が栽培容器５の底部に形成された排水用孔部５ａから落下し、排水受け部９で集められ排水ホース１１を流れて地表面付近の排水路等に誘導される。
【００２７】
以上のように、本実施の形態１の栽培用台車は構成されているので、以下のような作用が得られる。
（１）支柱の上部に配設され栽培容器が嵌装される栽培容器収納部を備えているので、栽培用台車を移動させる際、特に動き始めや停止するときでも栽培容器収納部に嵌装された栽培容器は転倒したり移動しないので、栽培容器内の栽培用土がこぼれたり栽培物を傷めたりすることがなく栽培物の品質の低下を防止できる。
（２）栽培容器収納部と複数の支持アームと支持アームに架設された支持部材とを備えているので、栽培容器収納部で固定された栽培容器の周囲に配設された支持部材によって、栽培物の茎や実を支持して移動時の栽培物の揺れを小さく抑えることができ実の落下や茎が折れたりするのを防止することができる。
（３）さらに、支持部材を備えているので、茎や葉，実を大きく広げて栽培容器等に接触させずに支持することができ、日当たりや風通しを良くして色付きを良くするとともにカビ等の発生を防止して病害虫による被害を防止することができ、栽培物の健全な成長を助け栽培物の品質を向上させることができる。
（４）支柱に回動自在に配設固定された支持アーム固定部に支持アームが固定されているので、支持アーム固定部を回動させ支持アームの角度を変えて支持部材の位置を変えれば、葉や茎等が水平方向に大きく広がり実をつける栽培物であっても茎や実を支持することができ自在性に優れる。
（５）支持アーム固定部に支持アームが摺動自在に固定されているので、栽培物の種類の違いによる背の高さの違いや栽培物の生長に応じて、支持アームを所望する張り出し長さにし支持部材を保持して栽培物の茎や実を支持することができ自在性に優れる。
（６）栽培物が生長して茎や葉等が繁り栽培用台車の外側にまで大きく広がっても、間隔調整部材の張り出し長さを調節して間隔調整部材固定部に固定することで、隣り合う栽培用台車の栽培物同士や調整アーム同士がぶつかり合って実や茎等を傷めたり調整アームを損傷させることを防止し、栽培物の品質の低下を防止するとともに栽培用台車の耐久性を高める。
（７）車輪が転動する以前に、レール上に堆積又は固着等している泥，土，小石等を土石除去部で除去することができ、車輪のスムーズな移動を維持できるとともに脱輪を防止することができる。
（８）泥，土，小石等の上を転動することによる振動により、栽培物の実が落ちたり茎が傷つくのを防止するとともに、車輪やレールの損傷を防止することができる。また、土石除去部が磨耗等した場合の交換に要する時間や費用は、車輪やレールが損傷した場合の交換に要する時間や費用に比べはるかに小さく、メンテナンス性に優れる。
（９）排水勾配が付けられた排水受け部と、排水ホースを備えているので、栽培容器からの排水を地表面付近にまで誘導することができ、排水が周囲に飛び散り難く快適性に優れる。
【００２８】
なお、本実施の形態１では、角柱状に形成された６本の支柱２ａが配設され、車輪部３が台車基部２ｃに６個配設され、支持アーム６が６本配設された場合について説明したが、数量はこれに限定されるものではない。
また、栽培容器５の側面が栽培容器収納部４に嵌装される場合について説明したが、栽培容器５の底部よりも外縁が小さく栽培容器収納部４の固着部４ａに嵌装される脚部を栽培容器５の底部に形成し、固着部４ａで脚部を嵌装し栽培容器５を栽培容器収納部４に収納してもよい。脚部が形成された栽培容器５は栽培容器収納部４から地表面等に下ろしたときに、地表面等と底部の間に指が入り易いので持ち上げ易く作業性に優れる。
【００２９】
