Description

The present invention relates to a vessel-shaped animal-plant symbiotic ornamental pot that integrates a water tank in which ornamental fish are bred and a flowerpot in which plants are planted.

When playing ornamental fish and ornamental plants at the same time, pots with plants were placed on the aquarium. At that time, the pot may become bulky and obstruct the indoor landscape, or the heat generated by the light source that illuminates the inside of the aquarium from above may cause stunted growth requirements such as root burning, leaf burning, drying, and rising water temperature. Therefore, it was not preferable to place the pot on the upper part of the water tank.

In addition, by placing a flowerpot on the top of the aquarium, the air permeability inside the aquarium becomes poor and it becomes easy to get stuffy, and when adding water to the aquarium, the pot must be removed to manage the water supply, which is complicated. Met.

Conventionally, there have been proposals for aquariums and flowerpots in which a small light source is provided on a pot installation stand / aquarium installation stand to illuminate the pots and the inside of the aquarium and observe the vegetation with simple management.

As an example of the conventional proposal as described above, a double structure in which a small flowerpot is placed on a large pot-shaped container, a flowerpot or a vase, easy to replant, automatic water absorption is possible, and the lower flowerpot and vase have multiple functions. "Flowerpots, vases, and transparent ornamental water tank containers that sustain plant vitality and environmental effects" (see Patent Document 1) have been proposed by laying the ore "Quick Light", adding water, and utilizing its characteristics. It has become. Specifically, it has a double structure in which a small flowerpot is placed on a large pot-shaped container, a flowerpot, or a vase. The flowerpot on the top is covered with a multifunctional ore "Quick Light" on the surface of the soil, and the flowerpot below On the inner bottom of the vase, lay a multifunctional ore "Quick Light" with various characteristics, fill it with water, and make the upper flowerpot and the lower flowerpot or vase have an automatic water absorption function with a string or non-woven fabric. A flowerpot that absorbs water into a flowerpot and puts fish such as ornamental fish in the lower flowerpot or vase so that it can be enjoyed as an ornamental item and at the same time the water does not rot for a long period of time. This is a proposal for a vase and a transparent ornamental water tank container.

However, according to the above proposal, a double structure is adopted in which a small flowerpot is placed on a large pot-shaped container, a flowerpot or a vase to close the upper surface of the large pot-shaped container, a flowerpot or a vase. When fish such as ornamental fish are placed in a flowerpot or vase, there is a problem that the supply of oxygen to the water tank is not sufficient, and as a result, it becomes difficult to breed fish such as ornamental fish.

In addition, as a conventional example of proposals, miniaturization of the light source, facilitation of installing the light source on the bottom of the pot installation table, power saving, prevention of root burning, leaf burning, drying, and rise in water temperature of plants, and management of water supply A "pot installation stand" (see Patent Document 2) has been proposed to realize a bright vegetation ornamental water tank in which vegetation can coexist by providing a cylinder that facilitates the replacement of pots, which has become a known technique. .. Specifically, a light emitting diode part that illuminates the inside of the water tank is provided at the bottom of the pot installation table, a cylinder for ventilation and water supply is provided inside the pot installation table, and the light source of the pot is a support that stands on the water tank installation table. It is a proposal to install a light emitting diode part at the tip, make a pot separately, and put it in the pot installation stand for use.

However, according to the above proposal, by providing the light emitting diode portion on the upper part of the pot installation stand, the device itself becomes complicated and expensive, and the maintenance pipe cost and the difficulty of changing the water in the aquarium are high. There was a problem such as.

Furthermore, while eliminating filtration tanks, cords, heaters, etc. from the upper part of the aquarium and water, we have developed a water temperature control tank and aquarium installation stand, planting aquatic plants and fish in the water, and terrestrial plants in the upper part of the aquarium, hydroculture terrarium. Expressing a world that cannot be expressed by an aquarium, etc., and realizing a stylish water tank that is in harmony with the space, at the same time, you can enjoy glass products such as tableware and flower ware that are not made as a water tank as a unique water tank. "A water tank with water temperature control used" (see Patent Document 3) has been proposed and has become a known technique. Specifically, the planting material for planting plants in the pot has a biofiltration capacity, air passes through the pot from the bottom of the pot with many holes to prevent root rot, and a water channel is provided at the bottom of the aquarium. Proposal to install a water temperature control tank located under the water tank, build a temperature sensor, control the temperature with a planar heating heater built in the water tank installation stand, circulate by aeration and return to the inside of the water tank Is.

However, according to the above proposal, the installation of aeration equipment is indispensable because the heating heater is provided in the lower part of the water tank, which makes the device itself complicated and expensive, and the upper part of the water tank is sealed by a pot. There was a problem that it became a condition and caused an increase in cost.

Furthermore, a "double stage aquarium" (see Patent Document 4) has been proposed in which organisms or equipment that are difficult to grow in water are allowed to live together with ornamental fish in the same aquarium and are known. Specifically, in the aquarium, partition the front and back using a transparent partition plate to make it completely waterproof, put water in the front stage, put ornamental fish F etc., and do not put water in the rear stage. This proposal is characterized by the inclusion of plants, interior equipment, etc.

However, according to the above proposal, it is merely a proposal in which a water tank for storing ornamental fish and the like and a water tank for planting and interior equipment are arranged side by side, and the water tank and the planting material for which the ornamental fish are bred. It was a proposal that could not produce the coexistence effect with the flower pots to be planted.

Furthermore, as a convenient flowerpot for home and business use that does not require watering, it can also be used as a water tank, and it can be used as an interesting interior product by combining plants and appreciation fish. , "Flowerpot by automatic bottom water supply method" (see Patent Document 5), which can be used as a new advertising medium in public places by designing the inner container for advertising, has been proposed and has become a known technology. There is. Specifically, a water storage container, a soil storage container installed in the water storage container and having a water passage hole at the lower part, and a water supply hole on the bottom surface above the water storage container and adjacent to the soil storage container. It is composed of a water storage tank provided, a water stop valve provided directly below the water supply hole to open and close the water supply hole, and a float provided directly below the water stop valve in the water storage container. It is a proposal of a structure in which when the water level of the reservoir rises due to the water flowing in through the water, the float rises and the water stop valve is pressed against the water supply hole to close the water supply hole and stop the inflow of water.

However, according to the above proposal, there is a problem that the structure is complicated and the flowerpot itself becomes expensive.

The applicant pays attention to the fact that the above-mentioned previously proposed animal and plant symbiotic ornamental pots and flower pots by the automatic water supply method can be used for symbiotic viewing of animals and plants and that natural water supply to the planting side is not performed. However, based on the idea that the above-mentioned problems could be solved by an inexpensive and simple structure without the need for automatic water supply equipment, the aquarium where ornamental fish are bred and the flower pot where the plants are planted. We have developed a vessel-shaped animal and plant symbiotic ornamental pot that enables natural water supply while integrating the above, leading to the proposal of the "animal and plant symbiotic ornamental pot" according to the present invention.
