Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Problem] To provide a watering device for a flower pot that automatically supplies water. SOLUTION: The top plate of a hollow water storage container composed of a top plate, a bottom plate and a peripheral plate has a water absorption hole for passing a water absorbing cloth piece and a water supply hole for passing a water supply pipe. Fill this water reservoir at the bottom of the flowerpot. Fill the water reservoir with the water supply pipe. Fill with water until it overflows from the overflow hole opened in the surrounding plate.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a watering device for a flowerpot that can automatically supply water to a plant planted in the flowerpot.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, a flowerpot is placed on a dish or pot-like container that can store water, and the lower end of a piece of water-absorbing cloth made of a material having a capillary phenomenon, such as woven or nonwoven fabric, is immersed in the water storage chamber to absorb water. There is known a watering device for a flowerpot in which the upper end of a cloth piece is extended to approximately the center of the flowerpot so that when the soil of the flowerpot becomes dry, the water-absorbing cloth piece absorbs water to moisten the soil.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 In the above conventional water supply device for a flower pot, the flower pot is placed on the water storage container, so that it is unstable, and the appearance is unsightly. In addition, there was another problem that a long and wide flower pot such as a planter had to be provided with a water storage container of the appropriate shape and dimensions.

The present invention seeks to provide a watering device for a flowerpot that can be easily used for a flowerpot such as a planter, and whose mechanism is completely invisible from the outside.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the water supply device of the flower pot in the present invention is such that a hollow water storage container is placed in the flower pot body. The reservoir is composed of a top plate, a bottom plate and a peripheral plate. The top plate has a water absorption hole through which a water-absorbing cloth piece with capillary action passes and a water supply hole through which a water supply pipe passes. The peripheral plate has an overflow hole near the top plate. Place the water reservoir on the bottom inside the flowerpot body, insert the lower end of the water-absorbing cloth piece into the water reservoir through the water-absorbing hole, and place the upper end of the water-absorbing cloth piece approximately in the center of the soil part placed in the flowerpot body. Extend it. A water supply pipe is inserted into the water supply hole, and the water supplied to the water storage container through the water supply pipe is supplied until the water overflows from the overflow hole. The water in the water storage container is sucked up when the soil in the flower pot dries and is given to the plant.

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The water storage container 3 is placed on the bottom 2 of the flowerpot main body 1. The water storage container 3 has a hollow structure including a top plate 4, a bottom plate 5, and a peripheral plate 6. The top plate 4 has a water absorption hole 7 and a water supply hole 8, and an overflow hole 9 is provided at a high position of the peripheral plate 6. I have. The lower end of a water-absorbing cloth piece 10 made of a woven cloth, a non-woven cloth, or another substance having a capillary phenomenon is inserted into the water-absorbing hole 7 to be submerged. A water supply pipe 11 is inserted into the water supply hole 8, and the water to be supplied can be stored until it overflows from the overflow hole 9. 12 is a bottom hole of the flowerpot main body 1, 13 is a protrusion, and 14 is soil. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of a case where the present invention is applied to the planter 15. A plurality of water storage containers 3 are juxtaposed at appropriate intervals in the longitudinal direction of the planter 15, and a water absorbing cloth piece 10 and a water supply pipe 11 are provided for each water storage container.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory view of a case where the present invention is applied to a large flowerpot 16, in which a plurality of water storage containers 3 are juxtaposed in a ring shape.

[Effect of the invention]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, if water is filled in the water storage container, when the soil in the flowerpot dries, the water-absorbing cloth will absorb the water and supply it to the soil, saving labor for water supply. . Since the water storage container is housed in the flower pot, the appearance remains unchanged and the pot is stable. There is no need to prepare special water storage containers for planters and large flower pots, and it is convenient to use multiple water storage containers of normal size.
