[Structure] Wet method using waste materials such as waste paper, waste pulp, tree bark, flesh, grass and other natural plant fibres, shredded material,
Alternatively, a plant cultivator configured by molding a container such as a flowerpot or a planter having a required shape by a dry method or an accessory thereof.

Description

[Detailed description of the device] [The purpose of the device] [Industrial applications]

The present invention relates to a plant pot used for cultivating a plant such as a flower, a grass, or a tree, a plant direct planting device such as a planter, and a plate for attaching the pot, a pot cover, and the like. The present invention relates to a new configuration of the container.

[Prior art]

[0002] Conventional plant pots such as this kind of plant pots, planters, and other attachment devices such as placing plates and pot covers are made of ceramic materials or synthetic resin materials. Therefore, it cannot be burned for disposal after use, which is not preferable from the viewpoint of pollution. Moreover, since the material itself produced does not contain water at all, it has a disadvantageous disadvantage in growing plants.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

The present invention solves the difficulty of post-use disposal and the insufficiency of water retention that the conventional plant cultivating device has. The cause is to remove the cause of the above, and to impart water content and air permeability to the main body of the container to exert a better effect on the growth of plants, and to solve the defects of conventional products.

[Constitution of device] [Means for Solving the Problems]

The plant cultivator of the present invention is made of waste paper, pulp waste, tree bark, flesh and grass, and shreds of natural fibers to produce a container 1 having a required shape by a wet method or a dry method. It is configured by squeezing.

By the wet method as a molding method, the above-mentioned shredded material of natural fibers is mixed and dispersed in water to form a slurry, and the shredded material of the fiber is formed into a water-permeable micropore surface having a required shape. This is a method for producing the container 1 by adsorbing to the holding mold by suction dehydration to form a layer of the fiber shredded material, and then detaching the fiber shredded material layer from the molding die and drying. In addition, the dry method as a molding method does not use the water dispersion medium like the above-mentioned wet method, but adsorbs the shreds of natural fiber to the molding die having the required shape of aerated micropores by the suction action. The fiber body shredder layer is formed by forming a fiber shredded material layer from the mold, and then the container body 1 is manufactured. Regardless of the wet method or the dry method, the shredded fibers are entangled with each other and compressed by suction to be condensed, so that the body 1 has strength enough to withstand use. If the body 1 requires a rigid structure with a certain degree of strength, a natural sizing agent, a cellulose-based fibrous chemical sizing agent, or a synthetic resin sizing agent such as polyethylene, polypropylene, or vinyl acetate-based sizing agent. In the wet method, it is mixed with the fiber shredded material slurry, and in the dry method, it is attached to the fiber shredded material by spraying or the like. However, in the case of synthetic resin paste used as an auxiliary binder, the amount used should be kept to 30% or less of the total weight in view of combustion and decay, but it is preferable to use the amount as small as possible. It is to be.

Further, in the case of coloring for decorative purposes, whether a colorant having a desired color is mixed in the material stage before the container 1 is molded, or the shredded product itself is colored with a desired color. In the molded body 1, the desired color is obtained by spraying, coating or dipping.

Usually, when used for plant cultivation, “mold” is apt to be generated due to its humidity and the like, and in the case of the container body 1 of the present invention, especially the plant fiber material promotes the generation of “mold”. “Mold” is generally Acergillus niger FERMS-1, Peni cilium citrinum FERMS-5, etc., but the use of an antifungal agent for eliminating the reproduction of these “molds” is used in the body 1 of the present invention. It becomes a necessary condition. In order to impart antifungal properties to the body 1, an antifungal agent is mixed with a fiber shredded substance slurry in a wet method, or sprayed on the fiber shredded substance before being slurried or mixed. Apply a mildew proofing agent. Even in the dry method, the shredded fibers are treated with a fungicide in the same manner. The antifungal agent achieves the purpose at 1% or less based on the total weight. Further, the molded body 1 may be treated with a mildew proofing agent by applying a mildew proofing agent to the outer surface or by immersing the outer surface. As antifungal agents, metallic stones such as naphthenic acid and oleic acid such as copper, zinc and mercury, and organic germicides such as trichlorophenol, pentachlorophenol, saltylanilide and organotin compounds are effective.

If the body 1 according to the present invention is waterproofed, it exhibits an excellent effect in use. There are wax-based, oil-based, and synthetic resin-based waterproofing agents and water repellents for waterproofing, all of which form a film on the surface of the body 1 by coating and dipping. In particular, if the waterproof film is formed only on the outer surface of the body 1, it is possible to prevent the water content inside the body 1 from seeping out to the outside, and as shown in FIG. If the inner membrane 2 is thin and the outer membrane 3 on the outer side B is thick, exudation of moisture from the inside to the outside is prevented, and the moisture that has permeated the inner membrane 2 is retained between the inner membrane 2 and the outer membrane 3. The best water retention for growing cultivated plants is obtained. The thickness of the inner film 2 and the outer film of the body 1 is appropriately 0.01 mm to 3 mm, but the thickness ratio is empirically set according to the shape, thickness, and size of the body 1. It is something. However, it is optimal to set the thickness of the inner film 2 to such a degree that water penetrates through the fine pores.

[Effect of device]

As described above, the plant cultivator of the present invention can be easily incinerated after use because it is made of natural fiber, and if it is buried in the ground, it will rot in a short period of time and assimilate with soil, thus causing pollution. Will be eliminated and an environmentally friendly effect will be obtained. In addition, if the anti-mold agent treatment is applied, the generation of "mold" is suppressed and the beauty is maintained, and if the waterproof treatment is applied, the sewage leakage to the outside is eliminated and the body itself and the surrounding environment are not polluted. If it is eliminated and treated with a waterproof film, it has a number of practical effects, such as imparting water retention to the vessel, which was not possible with conventional ceramics, and favorably developing the growth of cultivated plants.
