PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a culture device for water culture in which a culture tank can be easily detached, is light weight and can be easily carried, for facilitating a cleaning work of the culture tank, and excellent in maintenance ability.SOLUTION: A culture device 10 for water culture comprises a culture tank 1 and an outside member 2 for storing the culture tank 1 therein. A root 4a of a plant 4 to be cultured is stored in the culture tank 1, and is immersed in a culture solution 5 supplied into the culture tank 1. Since the culture device has a simplified double layer structure formed of the culture tank 1 and the outside member 2, so that, the culture tank 1 can be detached from the outside member 2 and can be cleaned. Therefore, a cleaning work of the culture tank 1 is facilitated, a dedicated cleaning tool or the like is not required, and the root 4a of the plant 4 does not contact the outside member 2, so that the outside member 2 does not have to be cleaned substantially, and excellent in maintenance ability.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】栽培槽を容易に取り外せる構造とし、さらに軽量かつ持ち運びやすい形状にすることで、栽培槽の清掃作業が容易な、メンテナンス性に優れる水耕栽培用の栽培装置を提供する。【解決手段】水耕栽培用の栽培装置10であって、栽培槽1と、該栽培槽1をその内側に収容する外側部材2からなり、栽培される植物4の根4aは、上記栽培槽1内に収容されると共に、該栽培槽1内に供給される養液5に浸された構成とする。栽培槽1と外側部材2から構成される簡易な二層構造とすることにより、栽培槽1を外側部材2から取外して清掃できるようになる。従って、栽培槽1の清掃作業が容易となり、専用の清掃用具なども必要とせず、植物4の根4aが外側部材2に触れることもないため、外側部材2を清掃する必要は殆どなくなり、メンテナンス性にも優れる。【選択図】図1
