Supply side opening 13 is formed in one side plate among the side plates of the short side which cultivation tank main part 11 has. An upper end portion of a supply pipe 16 for supplying a culture solution is inserted into the supply side opening 13. The drain side opening 14 is provided on the side plate opposite to the side plate on which the supply side opening 13 is provided among the side plates on the short side constituting the cultivation tank body 11. A distal end portion of a collection tube 17 for collecting the culture solution is inserted into the drain side opening 14. The side openings 15 are formed on both side plates on the long side constituting the cultivation tank main body 11 with an interval in the long side direction. The side opening 15 serves as an outlet through which the vine plant 18 planted in the cultivation tank 1 extends when extending to the outside of the cultivation tank 1.

  Inside the cultivation tank main body 11, a medium 19 for cultivating the vine plant 18 is accommodated. Plants are planted in the medium 19. In this embodiment, the vine plant 18 in a state grown in the pot 20 made of a water-permeable material is planted together with the pot 20. The pot 20 of this embodiment is made of peat moss that has been compression-molded. In the culture medium 19, for example, a plurality of climbing plants 18 are planted along the longitudinal direction of the cultivation tank body 11 so as to be substantially equidistant.

  An upper end portion of the supply pipe 16 led into the cultivation tank 1 through the supply side opening 13 is connected to the spray pipe 21 on the surface of the culture medium 19. The injection tube 21 is a cylindrical member in which the tip opposite to the supply tube 16 is closed and the culture solution injection holes 22 are formed on the peripheral surface at predetermined intervals. And the length of the injection pipe 21 is made a little shorter than the length of the longitudinal direction in the cultivation tank 1 inside, and the injection pipe 21 is arrange | positioned along the longitudinal direction of the cultivation tank 1. FIG. For this reason, the culture solution injected from each injection hole 22 spreads over the entire medium 19.

  An upper end portion of the collection pipe 17 led into the cultivation tank 1 through the drain side opening 14 is embedded in the vicinity of the bottom of the cultivation tank 1. This upper end portion is also slightly shorter than the length in the longitudinal direction of the cultivation tank 1, and a plurality of collection holes 23 for collecting the culture solution are formed on the peripheral surface. Accordingly, the culture solution sprayed from the spray hole 22 and flowing down in the culture medium 19 flows into the recovery tube 17 from the recovery hole 23 formed in the upper end portion of the recovery tube 17.

  The culture liquid circulation unit 2 is a part for circulating the culture liquid between the culture tank 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the culture fluid circulation unit 2 includes a culture fluid tank 31, a liquid supply pump 32, and a culture fluid generator 33.

  The culture solution tank 31 is a part for storing a culture solution that is circulated and used with the cultivation tank 1 and is constituted by a light-shielding container in order to suppress the generation of algae. A lower end portion of the supply pipe 16 and a lower end portion of the recovery pipe 17 are inserted into the culture medium tank 31. The lower end opening of the supply pipe 16 is located near the bottom surface of the culture medium tank 31, and the lower end opening of the collection pipe 17 is located above the culture medium tank 31.

  The liquid supply pump 32 is provided in the middle of the supply pipe 16, and sends the culture solution stored in the culture solution tank 31 toward the cultivation tank 1. As described above, the sent culture solution is guided to the injection pipe 21 arranged inside the cultivation tank 1 and is injected from the injection hole 22 toward the culture medium 19. In the present embodiment, the feed pump 32 is placed on the upper surface of the culture solution tank 31.

  The culture liquid production | generation part 33 produces | generates a culture liquid from a tap water and a concentrate. The culture solution generator 33 includes a concentrate tank 34 in which the concentrate is stored, and a mixer (not shown). The concentrate tank 34 stores a concentrate in which nutrients for cultivating plants are concentrated. A mixer mixes a tap water and a concentrate in a suitable ratio, and produces | generates a culture solution. The culture solution generated by the mixer is sent to the culture solution tank 31. The mixer operates when the amount of the culture solution stored in the culture solution tank 31 is less than the specified amount, and replenishes the culture solution until the specified amount is reached.

  Next, the lower metal mesh 3 (lower mesh member) and the upper metal mesh 4 (upper mesh member) will be described.

  The lower metal net 3 is a support member for supporting the climbing plant 18 extended from the cultivation tank 1. The lower metal net 3 of the present embodiment is made of a stainless steel metal net so that it is not easily corroded even if exposed to the outside air for a long period of time. The mesh of the lower metal net 3 is provided in such a size that the vine plants 18 are easily entangled and fixed. Moreover, various shapes, such as a turtle shell shape and a rhombus, are taken as the shape of the mesh.

  As shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4, the lower metal net 3 is located at a position below the side opening 15 of the cultivation tank 1, specifically, slightly above the roof surface (wave convex portion). It is attached to the position in a state of being inclined downward along the roof surface. Moreover, when attaching the lower metal net | network 3, the bolt 41 standing up from the roof surface and a pair of nut 42 screwed together by this bolt 41 are used. That is, the lower metal net 3 is sandwiched between a pair of nuts 42. Thereby, the lower metal net | network 3 can be easily fixed in arbitrary height positions.

  As a result, it is possible to prevent the climbing plant 18 from directly touching the roof surface that has become hot due to the irradiation of sunlight, and to prevent the climbing plant 18 from withering.

  The upper metal net 4 is disposed above the lower metal net 3, and forms a space 43 for allowing the vine plants 18 to proliferate with the lower metal net 3. The upper metal net 4 is a movement restraining member for preventing the vine plant 18 extended from the cultivation tank 1 from moving excessively even if it is winded. The upper metal mesh 4 of the present embodiment is also made of a stainless steel metal mesh, like the lower metal mesh 3. Specifically, a corrugated metal wire assembled in a lattice shape is used.

  The mesh of the upper metal net 4 is determined according to the size of the leaves of the climbing plant 18. That is, the size is determined so that the leaves that fall from the vine do not easily jump out. For this reason, the mesh of the upper metal net 4 is larger than that of the lower metal net 3. Then, by making the mesh of the upper metal mesh 4 larger than the mesh of the lower metal mesh 3, the vine is easily entangled with the upper metal mesh 4, so that the vine can be firmly fixed. Further, the amount of the metal wire used for the upper metal net 4 can be made smaller than the amount of the metal wire used for the lower metal net 3, and the overall configuration can be reduced in weight.

  This upper metal net | network 4 is arrange | positioned in the position above the side surface opening 15 of the cultivation tank 1, as shown in FIG.1 and FIG.4. Specifically, the upper end of the upper metal net 4 is attached at the height position of the upper end of the cultivation tank 1 and in a direction substantially parallel to the lower metal net 3. Further, in attaching the upper metal mesh 4, as in the lower metal mesh 3, bolts 41 and a pair of nuts 42 are used. That is, the upper metal net 4 is sandwiched between a pair of nuts 42. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, a plurality of legs 44 are provided on the periphery of the upper metal net 4 to support the upper metal net 4. The leg portion 44 is provided, for example, by bending a metal wire in a direction orthogonal to the mesh surface.

  In the roof tree planting apparatus configured as described above, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the climbing plants 18 that have come out from the side openings 15 of the cultivation tank 1 are composed of the lower metal net 3 and the upper metal net 4. It grows and thrives in the space 43 defined by, and extends along the downward slope of the lower metal net 3. The stretched vine can move freely until it is entangled with each of the metal nets 3 and 4, so it moves when winded. However, even if it moves, it hits the upper metal net 4 and the like, so the moving range is limited. And since it gets entangled with each metal net | network 3 and 4 in the process of growth, even if it is fixed firmly and winds, about the entangled part, it does not move largely. Therefore, rubbing and breakage accompanying the movement of the vine can be suppressed, and even if the vine is extended, it is not necessary to perform an incentive work. As a result, the work load can be reduced.

  Moreover, the mounting tank is installed in the large ridge part 7 of the roof 6, and a side opening 15 through which the planted vine plant 18 passes is formed on the side surface of the cultivation tank 1. Furthermore, the roof 6 is provided in a state of being inclined downward from the large ridge portion 7 toward the eaves portion 8, and the upper end portion of the lower metal mesh 3 is located below the side opening 15 and the upper end portion of the upper metal mesh 4. Is arranged above the side opening 15, the climbing plant 18 that has come out of the cultivation tank 1 from the side opening 15 is naturally separated by the lower metal net 3 and the upper metal net 4. Will be led to. Therefore, it is possible to omit the attracting work at the time of installation.

  Further, since the mesh of the upper metal net 4 is made larger than that of the lower metal net 3, the vine is easily entangled with the upper metal net 4, and excessive movement of the vine can be suppressed at an early stage.
