<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a flowerpot solving such problems that a conventional flowerpot tends to come short of water in the pot because water is drained off via a drainage hole at the bottom, therefore excess labor is compelled for preventing a plant in the pot from decaying, and besides, because of being of double-layer integrated structure comprising an inner pot and an outer pot, conventional flowerpot design constituting water-reserving structure is limited in water reservation level. <P>SOLUTION: The flowerpot is so designed that a part via which water is drained off the pot is made higher than the bottom in the pot to ensure water to be reserved in the pot, and by making reserved water communicate with a vessel encapsulated with water, reserved water is automatically replenished to prevent the excess and shortage of in-pot water, and because the water-reserving volume in the vessel can be made larger as desired, water-replenishing frequency can be reduced; besides, the vessel and reserved water can be easily made to communicate with each other both inside and outside of the pot. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

    The present invention relates to a flower pot designed to increase the efficiency of water application.

    Traditionally used flower pots have a drain hole in the bottom of the pot, and the water supplied to the pot passes through the soil in the pot (hereinafter also referred to simply as soil) and is not stored and is discharged from the bottom drain hole. Met.

    In addition, there is also a conventional device in which a basin is formed as a single layer of an inner basin and an outer basin, and water can be stored in a sealed space between them. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1.)

As shown in FIG. 7 which is a cross-sectional view of a conventional plant pot, the pot 2 is composed of an inner pot 21 and an outer pot 22 as a single layer, and a sealed space S formed between them is used as a water storage capacity. After being replenished through a water supply hole 201 opened in the upper part of the sealed space S, it is closed by a sealing lid 202, and the sealed space S is closed.
Public number / JP 2004-8100

    Of the above, in general-purpose plant pots, much of the supplied water is drained wastefully, so the water in the pot tends to be insufficient, the frequency of additional water supply is increased, and labor and plants in the pot are depleted. I was forced to be constantly alert to prevent it.

In addition, in the structure of the conventional invention in which the inner basin and the outer basin are integrated as a multilayer, water is stored in the sealed space formed between them, and the amount of storage is limited in the sealed space. There was a drawback of being limited to volume.

    The present invention is intended to solve the problems of the conventional structure, the water supplied to the flower pot is effectively stored, and the total amount of stored water is not limited, and is always stable by the automatic water supply structure. It is an object of the present invention to provide a flower pot that realizes a moisturized soil layer and promotes sufficient growth of hair roots of plants in the pot.

    In order to realize the present invention, first, the portion where water is discharged from the flower pot to the outside is made higher than the bottom surface in the pot, the retained water is used as stored water, and water is enclosed above the stored water. A sealed container is provided, and one end is connected to the container and the other end is a flower pot in which the stored water and the inside of the container communicate with each other by a pipe that sinks below the surface of the stored water.

  A second solution is the above-described container filled with water, and a bottle having one end connected to the container and the other end submerged under the surface of the stored water in a bottle shape to form a portable bottle. The mouth is submerged in the stored water, and it is a flower pot in which the stored water communicates with the inside of the bottle.

  The operation of the first problem solving means is as follows. A container in which water is discharged from the flower pot to the outside is made higher than the bottom of the pot, and the retained water is used as stored water. ), One end is connected to the container, and the other end (hereinafter referred to as a communication pipe opening, sometimes also referred to as a bottle opening) is submerged under the surface of the stored water by a pipe (hereinafter referred to as a communication pipe). When the soil soil in the pot becomes dry as a flower pot that communicates with the inside of the container, some of the stored water naturally rises between the soils due to the action of capillary action (also called capillary action) between the particles of the soil. When the remaining amount decreases and the stored water surface becomes lower than the communication pipe opening, air enters the container through the communication pipe opening and at the same time, the water in the container passes through the communication pipe and communicates with the communication pipe. It is configured to discharge from the opening, and the water in the container is stored water. Add supplied by the reservoir water becomes higher, thus it ceases the reservoir water level rises again than the communicating pipe opening. Since the reservoir surface is always at the position where the communicating pipe opening sinks, the height of the communicating pipe opening is adjusted at a position lower than the storage limit where the height of the part that drains water from the flower pot to the outside is the storage limit. As a result, the stored water surface in the pot can be adjusted, and the humidity of the soil above the communicating pipe opening can be kept constant. For this reason, as long as there is no unnecessary water supply, the plant in the pot planted above the communicating pipe opening does not rot.

  In order to retain the water in the flower pot by making the part that drains water to the outside of the flower pot higher than the bottom face in the pot, the drain hole is not opened in the pot, or the bottom face in the pot Open the drainage hole at the top of the bowl with the part raised or open the drainage hole at the bottom of the bowl and attach it to the outside of the bowl of the drainage hole to keep the stored water in the bowl sideways. Make the tip of the water receiver to attract higher than the bottom of the pot, and make the stored water exist in the pot and the receiver, or there is no drain hole on the bottom of the pot and one or more on the side In addition, a water receiver is attached to the outside of one or more pots on the side of the drain hole, and the stored water that communicates with the stored water in the pot also in the receiver constituting the flower pot. Or the upper part of the protruding part as a shape with a specific part on the side of the lower part protruding to the side of the bowl. Upward drainage hole was storing the stored water is provided, or more it is an appropriate combination structure. The communicating pipe opening may penetrate between the soils vertically from the topsoil of the pot soil and sink to the stored water in the pot, or sink to the stored water of the water receptacle outside the pot. It may be good, or it may be inserted into the pot from the outside of the flower pot through the drain hole on the side face of the pot and submerged under the surface of the stored water. In addition, in order to achieve a stable flower pot structure even when a water catcher is attached to the outside of the drain hole on the bottom of the pot, for example, a vertical leg is provided on the outside bottom part of the pot to stabilize the center of gravity. Considering the installation, lifting the bowl horizontally, the ledge by the water receptacle should fit in the gap between the raised bottom part of the bowl, and the water attached to the outside of the bowl in the drain hole on the bottom of the bowl Even if the recess that fits the shape of the receptacle is provided in the outer bottom part of the pot, and the receptacle of water is fitted in the recess, the result is a stable flower pot structure with the outer bottom part being entirely planarized. good.

    In addition, the second problem solving means is that a container in which water is sealed above the stored water and a pipe having one end connected to the container and the other end submerged below the surface of the stored water are integrated into a bottle shape. As a portable bottle, the bottle mouth is submerged in the stored water, and simple water supply management can be realized as a flower pot in which the stored water communicates with the inside of the bottle. In addition, if this is used as the bottle mouth of the crane neck bottle and penetrates between the soils vertically from the soil topsoil, and the container part that contains water is sufficiently shaped on the topsoil, the container part that contains water Can increase the soil ratio in the pot compared to short neck bottles that have to be buried in the soil, or through the drainage holes on the side of the pot from the outside of the pot and insert the neck neck bottle mouth into the pot for storage It sinks under the surface of water. In addition, in order to replenish water in the container, a dedicated replenishing port may be separately provided in the container, or it may be replenished from the communication tube opening and the bottle port, or the one end of the communication tube connected to the container is removed. It may be removed as a formula and replenished from the detachable part opened on the container side. In addition, the portable bottle is fitted to the tip of the receptacle outside the bowl that is shaped and sized to fit the bottle mouth that faces downward, so that the water stored outside the bowl communicates with the inside of the bottle. This makes it possible to manage and satisfy water more easily. In addition, if the upper part of the front-end | tip part of a receiving tool is expanded upward in a funnel shape, fitting will become still easier and the spilling of the water at the time of fitting will be prevented. And if a bottle mouth is fitted to a receptacle and the receptacle funnel-like part supports the shoulder part of a bottle so that it cannot fall down, stability of a bottle can be secured. Alternatively, in the fitting portion in the vicinity of the receptacle and the bottle mouth, the bottle inner diameter may be supported by a portion that approximates the inner diameter of the receptacle so as to be fitted to the outer diameter in the vicinity of the bottle mouth, thereby ensuring the stability of the bottle. If you use a plastic bottle of a commercial beverage container as the bottle and measure the same effect, it will help increase the efficiency of resource utilization, and there are various types of plastic bottles, but the bottle mouth size is generally common Therefore, it is possible to selectively fit a bottle having a desired capacity.

    In the case of a bowl with a drainage hole in the present invention, excess water is drained from the drainage hole or the upper end of the receptacle in places where there is inadvertent water supply such as outdoors where it rains. The plant in the pot planted above will not rot, so you can set it up freely according to the location. In addition, in a pot that does not open a drainage hole, it is always stable because it is installed in a place where there is no involuntary water supply such as indoors, and the stored water surface in the pot is adjusted by adjusting the height of the above-mentioned communicating pipe opening. The water level in the pot is realized and the plants in the pot are grown.

    As a flowerpot having a plurality of pots, simultaneous water supply is possible by branching the communicating pipe from one container filled with water and piping it to each pot. In addition, a container is good also as an attachment type to a bowl, and good also as a stand-alone type.

    As a shape in which the specific portion of the side of the bowl lower part protrudes to the side of the bowl, an upward drainage hole in which the connection pipe opening and the bottle mouth are stable and easily fitted is provided in the protruding upward part to store the stored water.

    A moisturizing control plate having one or more holes penetrating from the front surface to the back surface of the plate in the flower pot of the present invention as a moisturizing control hole, a position parallel to the bottom surface and higher in the pot than the above-described storage water storage limit. When the soil is filled in the empty pot, the end passes through the moisturizing adjustment hole. If the soil under the moisturizing control plate is connected to the soil under the moisturizing control plate, a part of the stored water infiltrating the soil under the moisturizing control plate As it rises by capillary action and passes through the moisturizing control holes to supply water to the plants in the pot, adjusting the number of moisturizing control holes and their opening area results in adjusting the amount of water supplied to the plant, and the plant Can control the growth of. In this case, the soil under the moisturizing control plate becomes muddy due to the infiltration of the stored water, so that it becomes a so-called landslide state and prevents the rise of the soil from falling and the connection with the soil on the moisturizing control plate being disconnected. Therefore, for example, a piled soil built-in body that is shaped like a circular pipe between the bottom and the moisture retention control plate is placed vertically with the pipe length direction perpendicular to the bottom, and the upper end of the pipe port surrounds the moisture retention adjustment hole and passes through the moisture retention adjustment hole. Then, the soil that falls and accumulates is built in the built-in sediment soil, and the stored water is infiltrated into the soil to prevent the above-mentioned landslide state. This sedimentary soil built-in body is detachably attached to a moisturizing control plate or a sedimentary soil built-in body mounting portion provided on the bottom of the bowl. And the soil under the moisturizing control plate does not fill and accumulate between the bottom of the pot and the moisturizing control plate due to the built-in sediment built-in body, so when inserting the communicating pipe opening into the pot through the drainage hole on the side from the outside of the flower pot, It becomes one of the means to have the space of the insertion in the pot inside.

    The accumulated soil built-in body is an artificial stored water infiltrating material that acts as a capillary phenomenon to be separately procured in place of the deposited soil, or in other flower pots of the present invention, similarly between the stored water and the soil, It is also possible to have a structure in which the stored water infiltrated artificial material intervenes and the stored water infiltrated with the artificial material naturally rises due to capillary action, and the upper soil is moisturized soil. Even if it is infiltrated in the stored water, it does not deteriorate or deteriorate, and it is not necessary to procure separately, so it is durable and economical. In addition, if the soil built-in body between the bottom of the pot and the moisturizing control plate is not required and only the soil is filled and the number of moisturizing control holes and the opening area thereof are adjusted, it becomes a simple means for adjusting the amount of water supplied to the plant.

    The flower pot of the present invention adjusts the height of the opening of the communicating pipe, and as a result, the amount of stored water in the pot can be adjusted freely, and the feature of the structure that dirty water is not discharged from the bottom is utilized. If you replace the soil to be filled and fit a smaller flower pot inside it, the potted water cover can be used as a pot cover with an automatic water supply function. Can be supplied in a flower pot. In this case, since there is no soil in the pot, the buried body is unnecessary, and it is structured so as to be integrated with the pot so that the presence of the buried body does not interfere with the inner surface of the bowl, or removed as a separate type. May be.

但し、Ａ＝水を封入した容器内原エアー量、ｋ＝鉢内水面増加上昇係数、Ｓ＝鉢内水面平均面積、Ｐ＝原気圧、ｐ＝気圧変動値、Ｔ＝原絶対温度気温、ｔ＝気温変動値、
以上の内、原とは特定時点をいい、各変動値はその時点から一定時間後の、それぞれの変化単位を表したものである。鉢内水面増加上昇係数ｋは土壌組成の疎密等により決定され、密組成であるほどｋは大きくなる。そして、空間域内容積はＸのＰ、ｐ、Ｔ、ｔ、Ａを因子として決定される。又、鉢内植物の貯留水吸収もあるので逆転現象の減水にはこの式は適用されない。In the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, the air in the container filled with water is heated by sunlight or expanded by a change in atmospheric pressure, and the stored water in the container is pushed into the flower pot, and the stored water is involuntarily Increase to. This increase, which can be calculated by Charles Boyle's law, pushes up the reservoir. Since the increased water is pushed into a small gap between the soils, for example, when the interior is increased in a space cylindrical vessel, the water level rise is simply the amount of increased water divided by the surface area. In comparison, the stored water surface sometimes exceeds the storage limit of the stored water by either the drain hole or the upper end of the water receptacle, and the water overflows unexpectedly outside the flower pot. Or it may weaken the root by infiltrating the root of the plant in the pot above the storage limit. In order to prevent this, a space area for accommodating the increased water in the pot is provided in the pot between the storage limit below the storage limit and the height above the communication pipe opening. For example, an opening in one or more sealed containers is used as a buried object in the soil, and the whole or part of the container is buried between the storage limit of the stored water and the height of the communication pipe opening or more. The body opening should be an entry / exit for the purpose of allowing water and air to enter, and not allowing most of the soil to enter. If the opening position and area of the buried body opening are adjusted, the soil will invade somewhat from the buried body opening at the beginning of the buried body, but gradually mix with the moisture in the pot and eventually become fixed. Almost stops. Most of the buried body becomes a space area, and when the above-mentioned involuntary increase of stored water, the stored water enters and is accommodated in the space area. This prevents water from overflowing outside the pot and weakening the roots by unnecessarily infiltrating the roots of the plants in the pot above the storage limit. For example, the shape of the buried body is a ring-shaped pipe with both ends open, and the pipe length and diameter are determined in consideration of the invasion of soil and the amount of increased water accommodated, and the pipe length direction is parallel to the bottom of the pot. As a result of embedding in the height position to secure the space area, or opening a myriad of sealed containers, the entire structure is a mesh-like buried body, and the mesh size is set to be water or air inside. Similarly, a space area may be secured as the degree of allowing the intrusion of the soil and not allowing most of the soil intrusion. Furthermore, if the embedded body is detachably attached to the embedded body mounting portion as a plant pot having the embedded body mounting portion in the pot, the height setting of the embedded body can be kept constant and a space area can be secured. Alternatively, the pot and the embedded body may be provided on the inner surface of the pot as an integral structure. In the meantime, if the air in the container filled with water contracts, the amount of stored water corresponding to the contraction will be stored in the container due to the reverse phenomenon. In the above case where the flower pot of the present invention is diverted as a pot cover with an automatic water supply function, this space area is unnecessary, so if there is an obstacle to fitting the smaller flower pot, the buried body is removed, or In order not to obstruct even if the flower pot is fitted, the inner periphery of the pot inner surface having the structure of the pot and the buried body is made wide in advance and is removed so that the removal is unnecessary. In addition, the water surface rough rise value X of unintentionally increased water can be calculated by the following formula.

However, A = amount of raw air in a container filled with water, k = increase coefficient of water level in the pot, S = average area of water level in the pot, P = original pressure, p = pressure fluctuation value, T = original absolute temperature and temperature, t = Temperature fluctuation,
Among the above, the term “original” refers to a specific time point, and each fluctuation value represents a unit of change after a certain time from that time point. The pot water level increase coefficient k is determined by the density of the soil composition, and k increases as the density increases. The volume in the spatial region is determined by using P, p, T, t, and A of X as factors. In addition, since there is also absorption of stored water in plants in the pot, this formula is not applied to the reduction of the reverse phenomenon.

If the storage water surface and the soil surface in the pot are far away and sufficient water required by the roots of the plant in the pot is not supplied, for example, a pot-shaped water receiver is provided in the soil between the distances, By branching the pipe and arranging the branched communication pipe opening in the water receiver, it becomes possible to supply water further between the reservoir surface and the topsoil.

    If one of the receptacles is sufficiently raised as a transparent tube, the water level in the pot can be confirmed at a glance from the outside.

    The pot is composed of an earth filling portion filled with soil, and a water filling portion for storing stored water that fits on the outer side surface and the inner side surface of the earthing portion at the lower part of the earth filling portion, As a separate fitting mounting type, in the configuration in which a water intake is opened on the bottom surface of the earthing part to infiltrate the stored water in the watering part and infiltrate the soil in the earthing part, the communication pipe or the bottle mouth and water The water storage system can be closed without being exposed to the outside air by always tightly fitting with the receiving device, the side surface or the upward drainage hole, preventing the invasion of mosquitoes, etc. The automatic water supply from the container filled with water is constantly made, the infiltration water level of the earthing part can be adjusted, the plant root recharge is always kept stable, and if the container is transparent, the remaining water volume can be remotely controlled Can be confirmed, and from time to time, from the earthing part to the water filling part Separate and manage the inside of the receptacle of the water filling part from the inside of the pot, or if there is a plant root that protrudes from the bottom of the soil filling part, inspect and maintain it, then place the water filling part in the soil filling part If it is fitted again, the management system of the flowerpot will be enhanced.

    For example, if a publicly known technology is applied to the opening of the communication pipe, such as providing a water control function using a refueling stopper of a separate oil supply stove for an oil stove, when a container filled with the water is installed in a flower pot However, the flower pot can be placed at any place in the room without leaking suitable water outside the flower pot.

    As described above, the drainage hole is not opened in the pot in order to retain the water in the flower pot by making the part that drains water to the outside of the flower pot higher than the bottom surface in the pot, Raise the bottom of the pot and open a drainage hole at the top, or open a drainage hole at the bottom of the pot and attach it to the outside of the drainage pot to store the water in the pot. The tip of the water receptacle that attracts to the side is made higher than the bottom surface of the bowl so that the stored water exists in the bowl and the receptacle, or there is no drain hole on the bottom face of the bowl One or more drainage holes are provided, and a water receptacle is attached to the outside of one or more pots on the side of the drainage hole, and the reservoirs constituting the flowerpot also communicate with the stored water in the pots. The storage water is stored, or there is no drainage hole on the bottom of the bowl, and the specific part on the lower side protrudes to the side of the bowl By providing an upward drain hole in the upper part, or by appropriately combining the above, the flower pot of the present invention can effectively store the water supplied in the pot, and automatically adjust the stored water from the container filled with water The water supply function reduces the burden of labor and constant attention to prevent plants in the pot from depletion, and if one of the receptacles is raised sufficiently as a transparent tube, the water level in the pot will be external Will be confirmed at a glance. In addition, the capacity of the container filled with water is arbitrarily increased to increase the total amount of stored water, further reducing the frequency of additional replenishment, and the communicating pipe branching out as a flowerpot with a structure having multiple pots. By being piped in each pot, the trouble of refilling the sealed water into the container can be executed at once, and if the fertilizer is contained in the sealed water, there is an effect of greatly reducing the labor burden. If the container is transparent, the remaining amount of the enclosed water can be remotely observed, and the amount of water consumed by the plants in the pot can be grasped. In addition, as a shape in which the specific portion of the side of the bowl lower part protrudes to the side of the bowl, the upward opening portion of the protrusion is provided with an upward drainage hole in which the fitting of the communication pipe opening and the bottle mouth is stable and easy to store the stored water. If this is the case, the structure of the bowl is simplified, and the strength and productivity are improved.

    In addition, the pot is made into a top and bottom separation fitting type, and a pot for storing stored water in which the soil is filled, and in the lower part of the pot, the inner side is fitted to the outer side of the pot. Since the water storage system can be closed at all times, the intrusion and generation of pests are eliminated, and automatic water supply from a container filled with water is constantly made, so that the infiltrated water level of the earthing part can be adjusted constantly. Maintain a stable plant root recharge, separate the pot up and down, and from the inside of the pot, the internal management of the water receptacle attached to the outside of the pot of the water pot, or the water intake at the bottom of the pot If there is an overhanging root, the plant root can be easily inspected and maintained at the same time, and if the container is transparent, the amount of residual water can be confirmed remotely, and the management system of the flowerpot is enhanced.

    Furthermore, by providing a space area for accommodating involuntary increased water in the pot between the storage limit below the storage limit and the height above the communication pipe opening, the air in the container filled with water Even if it is heated by sunlight or expands due to changes in atmospheric pressure, the water stored in the container is pushed into the flower pot and the stored water is increased unintentionally, most of the increased water is accommodated in the space. Therefore, the stored water does not overflow beyond the pot beyond the storage limit, and the water level in the pot is stable, so that the water supply to the root is stable and the plant can be kept healthy.

    By providing the moisturizing control plate in the pot, a part of the stored water that has infiltrated the soil under the moisturizing control plate rises by capillary action and supplies water to the plants in the pot through the moisturizing control hole. By adjusting the number of adjustment holes and the opening area, the amount of water supplied to the plant can be adjusted and the growth of the plant can be controlled. And by providing a sediment built-in body between the bottom surface and the moisturizing control plate, the connection between the soil on the bottom surface and the soil on the moisturizing control plate can be prevented from breaking, and a space is provided inside the drainage hole on the side surface. This is one of the means to allow the insertion hole inside the drain hole when inserting the communicating pipe opening into the pot through the drain hole on the side of the pot from the outside of the flower pot and submerging it below the surface of the water stored in the pot. Yes, it is an operation outside the pot, so it is not bothered by the planted material and the work is easy. This sedimentary soil built-in body is detachably attached to a moisturizing control plate or a sedimentary soil built-in body mounting portion provided on the bottom of the bowl.

    In addition, the flower pot of the present invention can be stored in the pot in an adjustable manner, and it takes advantage of the structure that does not discharge dirty water like conventional flower pots on the market. A smaller, commercially available flowerpot or a dedicated flowerpot is fitted inside, and the stored water is supplied into the smaller flowerpot through the bottom drainage hole or the side water supply / drainage hole of the smaller flowerpot. In this case, it can be diverted as a bowl cover with an automatic water supply function.

    Old-fashioned general-purpose flowerpots with drain holes on the bottom surface drained dirty water from the bottom surface every time water is supplied, and the treatment was also a complicated task. Since the water stays and is stored without being drained to the above-mentioned storage limit, if the water is within the limit, the water is not discharged, so that the dirty water is not required to be treated.

    In the case of a plurality of side drain holes, if the height is made different and a sealing plug is made detachable, the water in the pot evaporates from the open drain hole. Can be adjusted.

    Since a living thing such as a plant adapts and grows in the environment in which it is placed, the stable water supply system to the plant according to the present invention also expands the root of the plant in the pot accordingly. Excessive root rot does not occur and it does not wither due to water shortage.

    According to the present invention, as a soil layer, a water supply control setting from stored water to the roots of the plants in the pot is performed only by combining a gravel layer having a relatively weak capillary phenomenon and a fine soil layer having a remarkable capillary phenomenon. Can be arbitrarily. In addition, as described above, in the water stored in one flowerpot, from the receptacles, from the drain holes, through the soil, etc. By submerging and changing the contents of each container differently, the combination of fertilization can be changed at any time, and the growth according to the characteristics of the plant or the growth experiment can be performed.

    Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

In FIG. 1, the pot bottom 11 of the flower pot 1 does not have a drain hole, and one or more drain holes 121 are provided on the pot side surface 12 so that the supplied water is retained in the pot to obtain the stored water w. A water container 5 is attached to one or more outsides of the bowl, the stored water w is also stored on the outside of the bowl, and a transparent container 3 of any capacity sealed with water A is placed above the stored water w. The reservoir water w and the inside of the container 3 are communicated with each other, with one end connected to the lower part of the container 3 and the other end (hereinafter referred to as a communication pipe opening 311) submerged below the surface of the stored water w as a communication pipe 31. The soil D in the pot is dried, and a part of the stored water w naturally rises between the soil D by the action of capillary action between the particles of the soil D, the remaining amount of the stored water w decreases, and the stored water surface w1 is connected to the communication pipe. When descending from the upper end of the opening 311, air enters the container 3 through the communication pipe 31 from the upper end of the communication pipe opening 311, and at the same time, a part of the water A in the container 3 enters the communication pipe 31. The water is discharged from the communication pipe opening 311 and supplied as additional stored water w, and the stored water surface w1 rises. Then, it stops when the water storage surface w1 sinks the communication pipe opening 311 again.
In this way, the reservoir water surface w1 is a position where the communication pipe opening 311 is always submerged in the pot or the water receptacle 5 outside the pot, and if the height of the communication pipe opening 311 is adjusted, As a result, the stored water surface w1 can be adjusted, that is, the amount of stored water w can be adjusted, so that the communicating pipe opening 311 is submerged under the surface of the stored water w without being damaged by the soil D in the pot. In this case, a ring-shaped inclusion pipe 4 having a sufficient inner diameter that allows the communication pipe 31 to be freely inserted and removed is vertically penetrated through the pot soil 1 to the bottom surface 11 of the flower pot 1, and the inside is hollow and its upper end is placed on the top soil. The communication pipe opening 311 is inserted into the containing pipe 4 from the upper end thereof, and the stored water w and the inside of the container 3 are made to communicate with each other by being placed at an arbitrary position below the storage limit of the stored water w. Is. In addition, in order to save the above trouble, this inclusion pipe 4 may be attached to the bowl or integrated with the bowl.

    FIG. 2 is a structure in FIG. 1 in which the incoming air from the communication tube opening 311 and the discharged water from the container 3 pass through the single communication tube in the communication tube 31. Since the resistance is generated by passing and the incoming air and the discharged water collide and stay in the middle, the communication pipe needs to have a certain thickness or more. That is, the communication pipe 31 is replaced with the lower communication pipe 31a and the upper communication pipe 31b, one end is connected to the lower part of the container 3, and the other end (hereinafter, the lower communication pipe opening 31a1) sinks below the surface of the stored water w. The pipe is a lower communication pipe 31a, one end is connected to the upper part of the container 3, and the other end (hereinafter referred to as the upper communication pipe opening 31b1) is located above the lower communication pipe opening 31a1 below the stored water surface w1 in the pot. A pipe that sinks in the water is used as the upper communication pipe 31b to communicate the stored water w with the inside of the container 3. The soil D in the pot is dried, and a part of the stored water w naturally rises between the soil D by the action of the capillary action between the particles of the soil D, the remaining amount of the stored water w decreases, and the stored water surface w1 is in upper communication. When descending from the upper end of the tube opening 31b1, air enters the container 3 through the upper communication tube 31b from the upper end of the upper communication tube opening 31b1, and at the same time, part of the water A in the container 3 is in the lower part. It passes through the inside of the communication pipe 31a, is discharged from the lower communication pipe opening 31a1 into the pot, and is additionally supplied as the stored water w, and the stored water surface w1 rises. Then, it stops when the water storage surface w1 sinks the upper communication pipe opening 31b1 again. In this phenomenon, since the air entering the container 3 and the discharged water from the container 3 pass through different paths, the passing resistance does not occur, and both the communication pipes (31a, 31b) can be made thin. In this case, according to the Pascal object theory, the height of the submerged positions of both openings (31a1, 31b1) is differentiated, and the opening through which the air first enters the stored water surface w1 and enters is the upper communication pipe opening 31b1, By making a difference between the water pressure of the water surface 31b2 in the upper communication pipe 31b and the water pressure of the water surface A1 in the container 3 which is the water surface of the lower communication pipe 31a, the ingress of air in the container 3 and the water A Since the discharge phenomenon can be sustained, the inner diameter is sufficient to allow the lower communication pipe 31a and the upper communication pipe 31b, which are combined with the string 8 so that both openings (31a1, 31b1) are in the above-mentioned submerged position, to be detachable together. The above-mentioned inclusion pipe 4 is vertically penetrated through the pot soil 1 to the bottom surface 11 of the flower pot 1, the inside is hollow and the upper end is observed on the top soil, and the lower communication pipe 31 a and the upper communication pipe 31 b are combined from the upper end. The stored water in the pot is inserted into the containing pipe 4 and the openings (31a1, 31b1) are placed in the containing pipe 4 at an arbitrary position below the storage limit of the stored water w. This is a communication between w and the inside of the container 3.

    FIG. 3 shows that a container 3 and a communication pipe 31 enclosing water A are carried in a water receptacle 5 attached to the outside of one or more pots of one or more drain holes 121 provided on the pot side surface 12 of the flower pot 1. The bottle mouth 311 of the bottle integrated into a free bottle shape is fitted, and the storage limit of the stored water w, or the soil D below the bottle mouth 311 is infiltrated into the stored water w, and the soil D above the water Is a stable moisturizing state, and a pot side recess 123 is provided in a portion of the circle around the pot side surface 12 to which the water receptacle 5 is attached, so that the container 3 is fitted and the overall size of the flower pot 1 is reduced. is there.

    FIG. 4 shows a water pot 1a filled with soil D, a water pot 1b at the bottom of the pot 1b, and an external side surface 12a of the earthing side 1a of the potting portion 1a and water stored in the water pot 1b. The bowl side surface 12 is composed of a side surface 12a on the side surface of the earthing portion 1a and a side surface 12b on the side surface of the water filling portion 1b. In addition, an inlet 111 for taking water for potted plants is opened on the bottom surface 11a of the soil reservoir 1a, and the bottom portion of the soil D of the soil reservoir 1a is always kept at a constant water level in the stored water w of the reservoir 1b. It is set as the structure infiltrated with. In this way, the flower pot 1 can be separated into the soil filling part 1a and the water filling part 1b, and the internal management of the water receptacle 5 attached to the outside of the pot of the water filling part 1b by separating this from time to time, Or when there is a root of a plant that protrudes from the bottom of the earthing portion 1a, the root of the plant can be easily inspected and managed from the pot, and its health can be judged. The water filling side surface 12b is fitted and attached to the earthing side surface 12a, and the communicating tube opening 311 fitted to the receiving device 5, that is, the bottle port 311 also has the outer diameter in the vicinity of the bottle port 311 and the inner diameter of the receiving device 5 described above. Since it is configured to support the portable bottle so that it cannot be overturned in a portion that is approximated so that it can be fitted, it does not allow mosquitoes or the like to enter the flower pot 1, and the occurrence of pests such as bladders in the stored water Eliminated.

    FIG. 5 shows a pipe 6 having a ring-shaped space area securing pipe 6 that secures a space area in consideration of the pipe length and the diameter in the soil between the storage limit of the stored water w and the height above the bottle mouth 311. The soil D is buried in parallel to the bottom surface 11, and soil D first penetrates slightly from both ends of the ring-shaped opening, and then is finally fixed and water in most of the space area left in the space area securing pipe 6. It is intended to accommodate involuntary pot-increasing water from the bottle container 3 enclosing A.
