Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention relates to a planting container having a water retention function and a water supply function.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As a planting container for artificial greening on the roof of a building, there is known a type in which a net-like floor plate is placed in the container, the container is filled with soil, and plants are planted for use. ing. This type of planting container uses a net-like floorboard to improve water permeability in the soil and prevent root rot of the plant by storing water for a long period of time. However, this type of planting container does not have an irrigation means, and if it does not control the time of watering the plants, there is a risk that the plants will eventually die due to lack of water. As a solution to this problem, there are known strong water sprinklers of the type that are embedded in the soil or placed on the soil.However, since these are types used for large outdoor flower beds, The adoption of small planting containers has problems in terms of cost and handleability. Therefore, it is desired to develop a technology for a planting container having a water retention and irrigation means that is low in cost and easy to handle.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and its purpose is to provide a plant that is suitable for simple greening, having a low cost, good water handling and irrigation functions that are easy to handle. It is to provide a planting container.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention relates to a planting container, which comprises a container for storing soil and a floor plate placed in the container, wherein the floor plate has a water supply portion formed so as to project downward from the bottom surface thereof. The plant is characterized in that the water supply unit is bottomed on a container, a water storage unit is formed below a floor plate, and a water passage hole that is in communication with the water storage unit is formed on the peripheral surface of the water supply unit. It is a container. Further, in the above-described planting container, the planting container is characterized in that a sheet is coated on a floor plate placed in the container. Furthermore, in the above-mentioned planting container, a drainage port is formed near the height of the floor plate position of the container, which is a planting container.

[0005]

[Embodiment of device]

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

<B> Overall Configuration As shown in FIG. 1, a planting container 1 is composed of a container 2, a floor plate 3 housed in the container 2, and a sheet body 4 arranged on the floor plate 3, and (Artificial soil) 5 and plant 6 are arranged and used.

<B> Container The container 2 of the planting container 1 is a member that serves as a pot for filling the soil 5 inside and planting the plants 6. The container 2 has an opening and a bottom dimension that can accommodate a floor plate 3 described later. On the peripheral surface of the container 2, a drainage port 21 is formed near the same height as the bottom surface 31 of the floor plate 3 housed in the container 2. That is, when the water stored in the water storage section 22 at the bottom of the container 2 reaches the height of the bottom surface 31 of the floor plate 3, it can be drained from the drain port 21 without flowing back into the soil 5.

<C> Floorboard The floorboard 3 is a plate having a function of supplying water to the soil 5 while separating and supporting the soil 5 from the water storage portion 22 of the container 2. The bottom surface 31 of the floor plate 3 is formed with a plurality of water supply portions 32 that are bulged downward in a leg shape. The water supply part 32 has a hole 33 formed in the peripheral surface thereof so that water can freely move in and out of the water supply part 32. The inside of the water supply unit 32 is filled with the soil 5 or the water retention material 7, and water is moved between the soil 5 above and below the floorboard 3 and the water storage unit 22 through the soil 5 or the water retention member 7 in the water supply unit 32. I am trying to be free.

<D> Sheet Body The sheet body 4 is a sheet for preventing the roots of plants from entering the water storage section 22, and is a non-woven fabric that allows only water to pass through without allowing particles such as soil to pass through. It is recommended to configure Note that the sheet body 4 may be omitted depending on the type of planting plant (eg, flowers).

<E> Soil and Plant As the soil 5 to be filled in the container 2, natural soil or artificial soil can be adopted. Fertilizers and water retention materials may be mixed in the soil 5 to assist the growth of plants. The soil 5 is also filled in the water supply part 32 of the floor plate 3 before covering the sheet body 4. As a result, the water accumulated in the water storage section 22 can be sucked up by the soil 5 filled in the water supply section 32 and supplied to the plants. In addition to this, it may be considered that the water supply unit 32 is filled with a water retention material. After filling the container 2 with the soil 5 and then planting the plant 6, the planting container 1 functions.

[0011]

[Action]

 The water retention function and water supply function of the planting container will be described below with reference to the drawings.

<A> Water Retaining Function FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of the water retaining function of the planting container 1. The water 8 is supplied to the planting container 1 by directly applying it to the soil 5 from above, as in a normal plant pot. The supplied water 8 passes through the soil 5 and is partially absorbed by the roots 61 of the plant 6. The remaining water 8 permeates the sheet body 4 from the soil 5 and reaches the floor plate 3. The water 8 passes through the water supply section 32 of the floorboard 3, passes through the holes 33 formed in the water supply section 32, and reaches the water storage section 22. When the amount of water 8 that has reached the water storage unit 22 is large, unnecessary amount is discharged to the outside from the drain port 21 formed on the peripheral surface of the planting container 1. Therefore, a large amount of the water 8 once collected in the water storage section 22 does not flow back into the soil 5 and a predetermined amount of water can be retained in the planting container 1.

<B> Water Supply Function FIG. 4 is an explanatory view of the water supply function of the planting container 1. The water supplied to the soil 5 by water supply is absorbed by the plants 6 and is lost by drying, so that the water 8 retained in the water storage unit 22 is supplied to the soil 5. The water 8 passes through the holes 33 of the water supply section 32 impregnated in the water storage section 22, is absorbed by the soil 5 through the soil 5 or the water retaining material 7 filled in the water supply section 32, and is absorbed by the plant 6.

[0014]

[Effect of device]

 Since the present invention is as described above, the following effects can be obtained. <B> Even with a small container, it has a water-retaining function and a water-supplying function with low cost and good handleability. <B> Since it is possible to retain water without leaving a large amount of water in the soil, it exerts a high effect of preventing root rot of plants.
