Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Objective] The present invention relates to a planter for hydroponic cultivation in which a plant is grown only with water without using soil. [Composition] A hydroponic planter in which a floating ball cock 2 is provided at one end of a cultivation tank 1 and a drain pipe 4 is attached at the other end.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a hydroponic planter used for cultivating flowers and vegetables in the field of horticulture.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventional hydroponic culture is a method of storing a solution in a cultivation tank and suspending the roots of plants in the solution, so that the solution is circulated or air is sent in to prevent spoilage of the solution or lack of oxygen. Such troublesome equipment is indispensable, and therefore it was not possible to easily use it in a general home.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 This plan was conceived to solve this problem.It has a simple structure that uses the head of the water level, but it is a method that works naturally just by storing the liquid in the water tank, so it can be easily used by anyone. The aim is to provide a planter for hydroponics that is capable of growing all kinds of plants.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The structure of the present invention, which achieves the above-mentioned object, will be described with reference to the drawings. In the cultivation tank 1, a floating ball cock 2 is provided at one end, and a drain pipe 4 is attached at the other end.

[0005]

[Work]

 In the above configuration, (a) If the water tank 6 is installed at a slightly higher position and filled with the solution, the solution communicated by the hose 5 will naturally flow out due to the drop in the water level and pass through the floating ball cock 2. And flows into the cultivation tank 1. (B) When the liquor flowing into the cultivation tank 1 reaches a certain water level, the floating ball cock 2 is closed by the buoyancy of the floating ball, and the flowing of the irrigation solution into the cultivation tank 1 is stopped. (C) Next, when the irrigation solution stored in the cultivation tank 1 is absorbed or evaporated by the plant to be cultivated and the water level drops, the floating ball cock 2 opens and the irrigation solution flows into the cultivation tank 1 again. , Restore the prescribed water level. (D) Furthermore, if the water level in the cultivation tank 1 rises abnormally due to the inflow of rainwater, the drainage pipe 4 acts as a siphon to drain the excess liquid in the cultivation tank 1 at a stretch, and the predetermined water level is reached. It is a mechanism to recover.

[0006]

【Example】

 In implementing the present invention, the following things are possible. (A) By providing a branch pipe in the middle of the hose 5 that connects the water storage tank 6 and the cultivation tank 1, a plurality of planters can be used from one water storage tank. (B) Since the hydroponic planter of the present invention is a method of cultivating a plant with a small amount of solution, it is possible to provide the water tank 6 in a part of the cultivation tank 1. (C) By using a material having a high heat retaining property for the water storage tank 6 and the cultivation tank 1, the influence of the outside air is small, and stable plant cultivation is possible throughout the four seasons.

[0007]

[Effect of device]

 Therefore, the effects of the present invention are as follows. (A) The hydroponic planter of the present invention is a cultivation method in which a very small amount of solution is injected into the cultivation tank 1 and the solution consumed by the cultivation of the plant is replenished with fresh solution. There is no concern that the liquid in tank 1 will rot or fall into an oxygen shortage. (B) The present invention is much easier than soil cultivation because it can naturally grow plants by simply installing the water storage tank 6 at a slightly higher position and storing the irrigation liquid, making it easier for anyone to use. It is a useful and useful planter for hydroponics.
