Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to an improvement of a flower pot, and more particularly, to a flower pot having a feature that can automatically supply water to a plant or a flower for a long time.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as a flowerpot, a hollow one made of a material such as unglazed or plastic has been used. This type of flower pot is usually supplied with water from the outside, and a hole for draining water is generally formed at the bottom to prevent excessive accumulation of water in the pot. However, although it depends on the plants and flowers placed in the pots, it generally requires a certain amount of water at regular intervals, and there were no flower pots that were automatically supplied with water.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 In the case of a conventional flowerpot, it was necessary to supply water to the flowerpot, for example, every morning as described above, with rainwater, a hose, or the like. For this reason, for example, it has been difficult to travel for a long period and to leave the house. Depending on the type of plant (plant), too much water can cause root rot in the plant in the pot. Therefore, in the case of such a plant which is easily rotted by the root, it was necessary to consider the interval and amount of watering. Furthermore, it is indispensable to take steps such as changing the amount of water supply depending on the size of the plants planted in the flowerpots.

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present invention does not require that water be supplied to the plants using rainwater, a hose, or the like, does not require such an operation for a long time, and furthermore, the water supply interval depends on the type and size of the plants. In view of this point, it is an object of the present invention to provide a flower pot that can reduce the care for the planting trees.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems A flowerpot according to the present invention is a watering plant, in which a flowering plant accommodating a plant, a water storage tank for storing water, a water supply pipe connecting the flowering plant accommodating portion and the water storage tank are provided. Capillary phenomena are performed with a water supply cloth inside the pipe, and water is supplied to the planting storage section for a long time.

In the present invention, the water supply pipe is provided with a water supply cloth therein, and is made, for example, by swirling a cotton cloth so as to easily cause a capillary phenomenon. One end is placed in the water storage tank and the other end is placed or embedded in the upper part of the planting container so that the water supply cloth comes out from the tip. A plurality of water supply holes are formed at one end of a water supply pipe placed in the water storage tank. A bent portion is provided in the middle part of the water supply pipe in the longitudinal direction, so that the angle can be adjusted flexibly. Furthermore, a fixing tool having a fixing needle for fixing the water supply pipe to the planting storage section is provided.

[0007]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the flowerpot of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Referring to FIG. 1, this flower pot includes a pot portion 1, a flower plant accommodation portion 2, a water storage tank 7, a water supply pipe 3, and the like.

The pot portion 1 is made of, for example, plastic or pottery, and has a substantially trapezoidal pillar shape as a whole. Then, soil or humus is put into the pot portion 1 and plants and flowers are planted. The water tank 7 is placed near the pot, and the pot part and the water tank are connected by the water supply pipe 3. The water supply pipe 3 is made of plastic, but may be made of rubber or glass. A bent portion 33 is provided at an intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction of the water supply pipe, so that a step and an angle between the bowl portion and the water storage tank can be flexibly and easily adjusted. A water supply cloth A is inserted into the water supply pipe. The water supply cloth may be, for example, a cord made of a cotton cloth spirally capable of facilitating the capillary phenomenon, but the material and shape are not particularly limited as long as the capillary phenomenon is likely to occur. At the portion where the other end 42 of the water supply pipe is placed in the plant storage section of the pot, there is a fixture 5, which can be adjusted in angle so that it can be placed at any location in the pot. Then, the tip is made into a needle shape 55 and fixed. A bent portion 33 is also provided at a location of the water supply pipe in the water storage tank so that it can be adapted to a shallow water storage tank. Also, a plurality of water supply holes 6 are provided so that water can be easily supplied from a water supply port at only one end 41.

The planting container 2 is a part where plants are planted, and the water in the water storage tank is transmitted through a water supply cloth by a capillary action from a water supply port or a water supply hole which is one end of a water supply pipe, and is fixed to an arbitrary location in a flower pot. And water is supplied from the other end 42.

In the illustrated example, the water is supplied from a cord-shaped or band-shaped water supply cloth A into the pot. The water supply cloth is made of, for example, a material capable of moving water absorbed at one end 41 to the other end 42 by capillary action. Then, one end 41 of the water supply cloth is inserted into the water storage tank as shown in the figure, and the other end 42 is lifted upward and fixed to an arbitrary portion of the plant storage section 2 so that the water in the water storage tank is planted. It can be moved to the inside of the accommodation part 2. With this configuration, the water stored in the water storage tank can be supplied to the upper part of the planting storage unit 2.

[0011] In this way, the water supplied to the planting storage section is supplied in an amount corresponding to the water storage tank, so that there is no rapid supply of water and the water can be supplied for a long time. Therefore, regardless of the type of the plant housed in the plant housing section, root rot due to excessive moisture is prevented. It is also possible to dissolve the water-soluble fertilizer in the water in the reservoir and supply it for a long term. For this reason, the soil such as culture soil in the planting container is always kept in a moderately moist state, and a proper state of health of the plants and flowers can be easily maintained.

[0012]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, the plant pot of the present invention does not require water supply to the plant for a long period of time, and does not require labor such as adjusting the water supply interval and water supply amount depending on the type and size of the plant. As a result, care for the plants placed in the flower pots can be greatly reduced.
