JP2001320970A - Hydroponic method using pet bottle - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the method developing a flower and a green environment by using wasted PET bottles as a hydroponic pot. SOLUTION: This hydroponic method comprises dividing a PET bottle into a raising bath 4 and a water storage bath 5 through cutting the bottle and joining the resultant two pieces together, extending a self-water-supplying string 8 to the water storage bath 5 so as to continuously feed the raising bath 4 with water, and hydroponically raising a plant by the nutrients contained in a hydroponic medium 7; wherein oxygen is inhaled by the temperature difference in the pot by penetrating air holes 6 through the overlapped position between the two baths, and air rises between the medium and the pot by stable dissolved oxygen and chimney effect.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention utilizes a plastic bottle discarded in a large amount during the course of life to provide a clean and easy hydroponic cultivation system for flowers, herbs, houseplants, western orchids, succulent cacti and many others. The present invention relates to a modified bottle-type hydroponic cultivation in which cultivars can easily enjoy hydroponic cultivation in good condition in ordinary households.

[0002]

[Prior art and its problems] The commonly used pots for hydroponics are enjoyed in a single container with media such as hydroballs, gravel, sponges, etc., but there are many difficulties in the physiological action of plants. The first is root decay due to many waste products secreted from the roots, the second is ascending due to a rise in water temperature and lack of dissolved oxygen, and the third is death due to excessive or insufficient water volume. It is still difficult to resolve. Plant varieties that have been successful in the past are mainly houseplants, and among them are very limited, and they are plain and have low ornamental value. Things that have beautiful leaves, flowers that bloom, herbs, flowers, vegetables, western orchids, etc. are absolutely not allowed. There are many demands for solutions to the problems that have been emphasized in these hydroponic systems. An object of the present invention is to provide a plastic bottle hydroponic cultivation method that can solve the three major causes of the hydroponic system by using a two-bottle plastic bottle solution.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the present invention] There are roughly two problems to be solved by the present invention. The first is to solve the three major causes of hydroponics in pots, and the second is to recycle a large amount of plastic bottle containers discarded in daily life as plant cultivation. Regarding patents, the first is the main, but the three major causes are solved to detoxify waste products of formic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid, and other harmful acids, and to eliminate lack of dissolved oxygen due to rising water temperature and make up water. It is a solution to the problem that all plants can be enjoyed by hydroponic cultivation in ordinary households by establishing accurate water replenishment by discriminating the water level at all times.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the PET bottle shown in FIG. 1 is cut horizontally at the upper and lower middle points as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the two spouts of the breeding vessel container in the upper part 4 are directed downward, and the two fixing projections shown in FIG.
5 is fixed to the air hole of 6 through 5 through 4 to make the structure of the air flow smoothly, 7 in Fig. 5 to the culture medium for hydroponics, and 8 self-water string of FIG. Combine so that 8 goes through 2 to the bottom of 5. Seeding, cutting and transplanting are performed on the culture medium for water culture 7 in this way, 4 to 12 water is poured, 12 is stored in 5 and water is constantly supplied to 7 through 8 and a large amount of water is supplied to 6 from 6 Since oxygen is inhaled, waste acids discharged from the roots such as formic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid and other acids bind to oxidizing ions and become detoxified and do not harm the roots. This method provides a stable supply of moisture, eliminates waste,
Replenishment of dissolved oxygen is established and all plants can be enjoyed in pot hydroponics. As described above, the present invention can achieve the object of solving the above problems.

[0005]

The present invention is divided into two tanks, a growth tank and a water storage tank. The combined growth tank contains the nutrients necessary for the plant, and a medium is added. To be absorbed into the plant together with nutrients.However, an air layer is always provided between the two tanks, air is sucked from the vent hole by the pressure of the inner layer due to the temperature difference, and the air rises by the chimney effect at the contact point between the container and the culture medium By supplying a large amount of oxygen to the rhizosphere, the waste products are detoxified by oxidizing ion binding. The reservoir stores enough water to save the trouble of watering. The transparent container also shows the condition of the rhizosphere, the amount is clear and there is no water shortage. Depending on the cultivar of the plant, there is some water absorption, but it can be adjusted by the number of self-watering strings. Pot hydroponics, which has been considered difficult, has many effects that can be grown in a general home or office environment.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a plastic bottle hydroponic cultivation method according to the present invention. FIG. 8 is a perspective view in which a plant is transplanted to the present invention and cultivated in hydroponics. The inside can be seen through a transparent bottle. From the culture medium of No. 8, the roots can be easily enjoyed because the root growth can be easily enjoyed. The own water string of 8 extends to the bottom of the water storage container of 5 and self-waters the bottom water for long-term water supply. The ventilation hole 6 is penetrated to the inside to activate oxygen inhalation. Unnecessary water is drained from 6 and root suffocation does not occur. . 4 and 5 can be easily removed and the inside of the container and the whole plant can be washed. FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing the hydroponic cultivation of a plant orchid according to the present invention in a flowering state. If it is kept transparent, green rays will be generated by the light rays to harm the rhizosphere, or the growth of the water will be poor. As described in the above figure, this is a cultivation container that uses a bottle and is lightweight, clean and has a high level of hydroponic function. In addition, the present invention can be configured by the same principle with containers other than bottles or shaped products. The material is acrylic, plastic, glass, pottery, metal, wood, bamboo, paper,
Non-woven fabric, cloth, asbestos, etc. can be used.

[0007]

As described above, the present invention has a high level of hydroponic cultivation function and has weak roots such as plants, herbs, western orchids, vegetables and the like in a general home, office, store and other environments. Hydroponics can be easily enjoyed and enjoyed. In addition, millions of plastic bottles are released throughout the country every day as waste. Most consumers who use these on production farms will use them to grow flowers and greenery, which is the most effective way to preserve the immediate environment. Flower pots, which make up the majority of plastics, consume huge amounts every day.
The cost of the injection mold is enormous, which is an economic and environmental problem. Since the present invention improves waste products, it has an economic and environmental plus-square effect.
