【産業上の利用分野】[Industrial applications]

この考案は、植物育成における、重要な「水やり」のための土湿度計測に関し て、土中の水分が電気を通し、土(用土)中水分量によって通電量(電気抵抗値 )が異なることを利用した方式で、適正土湿度量の異なる植物の難しいとされて いる「水やり」判断を、簡単に目的に適応した土湿度(土中水分)を計測するた めの方式と装置である。 This invention relates to the measurement of soil humidity for important "watering" in plant cultivation, in which the water in the soil conducts electricity and the amount of electricity (electrical resistance) varies depending on the amount of water in the soil (land medium). It is a method and device for measuring soil moisture (soil moisture) that is easily adapted to the purpose of judging "watering", which is considered difficult for plants with different appropriate soil humidity, using a method that uses soil moisture. .

【従来の技術】[Prior art]

従来のものは、全般的に土湿度(土中水分)量を計測するもので、植物用に作 られていないため、異なる適正土湿度を継続的に管理が必要な植物の育成のため の「水やり」には、下記(イ)(ロ)(ハ)の点で不十分である。 (イ)構造上、用土、または、植物の種類によって感度調節を簡単にできない。 (ロ)植物育成において、水やり判断の要点である、表土乾き、用土中の乾き等 の植物の種類で異なる、適正な計測位置の土湿度量を見るためには適して いない。 (ハ)植物育成のための土(用土)は、植物によって異なる。従来のものでは、 「水こけ」等の用土中水分量は、計測不可能である。 The conventional one measures soil humidity (moisture in soil) as a whole, and is not made for plants. The “watering” is insufficient in the following points (a), (b) and (c). (A) Due to the structure, sensitivity cannot be easily adjusted depending on the type of soil or plant. (B) In plant cultivation, it is not suitable to see the soil humidity at an appropriate measurement position, which differs depending on the type of plant such as topsoil drying and drying in soil, which is the main point of watering judgment. (C) The soil (plant medium) for growing plants differs depending on the plant. With the conventional one, it is impossible to measure the water content in the soil such as "water moss".

【課題を解決しようとする課題点】[Problems to be solved]

本案は、植物の育成に大切な「水やり」作業に関わる、水やりの判断をより正 確で簡単にするために、土中水分が電気を通し、その水分量が少なくなるに従っ て電気抵抗値が上がることを利用し、土(用土)の違いによる感度の調整を感知 部の電極間の間隔を変えることで行い。植物によって異なる土中水分(土湿度) の計測を感知部(センサー)の位置の変化で対応する。更に従来計測し難い用土 である「水こけ」等には、感知部(センサー)の電極間の絶縁部に吸水素材(素 焼きのセラミック)を使用することにより、土中水分の通電に頼ることなく吸水 素材自体の吸水時の電気を通し、その水分が少なくなるに従って電気抵抗値が上 がることで、異なる用土の土湿度を計測が可能になる。 In this proposal, in order to make the decision on watering related to the `` watering '' work that is important for plant cultivation more accurate and easier, the soil water conducts electricity and the electricity decreases as the water content decreases. Taking advantage of the increase in resistance, sensitivity is adjusted by changing the soil (land medium) by changing the distance between the electrodes of the sensing unit. The measurement of soil moisture (soil humidity) that varies depending on the plant is handled by changing the position of the sensor (sensor). In addition, for water moss, which is conventionally difficult to measure, water-absorbing materials (sintered ceramics) are used for the insulation between the electrodes of the sensing unit (sensor) to rely on the passage of moisture in the soil. Instead of conducting water when the material itself absorbs water, the electric resistance increases as the water content decreases, so that the soil humidity of different soils can be measured.

【課題を解決するための手段】[Means for Solving the Problems]

いま、その構成を図面に追いながら説明すれば、 (イ)基本的な構造は、電極2と電極4、二つの電極を平行に設置し、その電 極間を土(用土)1の種類による通電状態に合わせて、最適な電極間隔を (1mmから20mm)選びその間隔になる絶縁材3で、直接通電しない ように土湿度感知部(センサー部)6を作る。 (ロ)絶縁材3は、通常プラスチック等、樹脂系等の絶縁材を使用してもよい が、より正確にするためには、水を吸収し乾燥する素焼きのセラミック等 を使用する。 (ハ)棒パイプ形状の土挿入部8上で、目的の場所の土湿度計測ができるよう に土湿度感知部(センサー部)6を設置する。 (ニ)電極2と電極4のそれぞれに、電気コード7をつけ、電気抵抗測定機に 接続する。 Now, the configuration will be described with reference to the drawings. (A) The basic structure is that an electrode 2 and an electrode 4, two electrodes are installed in parallel, and the space between the electrodes depends on the type of soil 1 An optimum electrode interval (1 mm to 20 mm) is selected according to the energization state, and a soil / humidity sensing unit (sensor unit) 6 is made of the insulating material 3 having the interval so as to prevent direct energization. (B) As the insulating material 3, an insulating material such as a plastic or a resin may be generally used.

【作 用】[Operation]

本案は、以上の構造であるから、これを使用するときは、図3のように、対象 の土(用土)と植物に対応した電極間5と土湿度感知部6(センサー部)の土湿 度計測装置14を該当植物の周囲の土(用土)1に、該当植物育成に必要な土湿 度が計測できる位置に土湿度感知部(センサー部)6がなるように(土湿度感知 部位置13)差し込み通電し電気抵抗値を計測する。該当土(用土)1の水分が 多いと抵抗値は低く、植物の水分吸収と乾燥等により水分が少なくなると抵抗が 値高〈なるので、この抵抗値により、該当土(用土)1の土湿度の状況が判断が でき、植物育成に於いて重要な「水やり」の判断がより簡単にできるようになる 。 Since the present invention has the above structure, when it is used, as shown in FIG. 3, the soil between the electrodes 5 corresponding to the target soil (plant) and the plant, and the soil humidity of the soil humidity sensing part 6 (sensor part), as shown in FIG. So that the soil humidity sensor (sensor) 6 is located at the position where the soil humidity required for growing the plant can be measured on the soil (media) 1 surrounding the plant (the soil humidity sensor position). 13) Insert electricity and measure the electric resistance value. The resistance value is low if the soil (land medium) 1 has a large amount of water, and the resistance becomes high if the water content is low due to water absorption and drying of the plant. This makes it easier to determine the “watering” that is important in plant cultivation.
