Description

  The present invention relates to a moisture derivative placed on the bottom of a flower pot in which plants such as trees and flowers are planted, and a flower pot incorporating the moisture derivative.

Plant pots for planting plants such as trees and flowers have been used for a long time, but because the roots of the plant absorb water in a limited volume, the pot soil is more likely to dry out as the plants are actively transpirationed, and the decay due to drying On the other hand, in plants that do not absorb much water from the roots, excessive water may accumulate, making it difficult to supply oxygen, resulting in root rot and withering.
In particular, when leaving a house for a long time, such as when traveling, water cannot be replenished, so the pot soil may dry out, causing the plant to weaken or die.
Therefore, as in Patent Document 1 below, a device that automatically supplies water stored in an outer pot to a flower pot has been proposed.
Japanese Patent Application No. 2002-27854

In the flower pot described in Patent Document 1, it is possible to supply water to the soil by capillary action, but it is difficult to supply water appropriately to the plant, and in particular, a pot for water storage and a flower pot However, there is a drawback that it becomes heavy and difficult to handle due to movement.
Therefore, the present invention provides a moisture derivative that can supply water stably and stably for a long period of time for a plant, and a flower pot that can supply water stably for a long period of time using the moisture derivative. Objective.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the device according to claim 1 of the moisture derivative of the present invention uses micropores that cause capillarity and are used by being placed in a flower pot having an inner bottom without a bottom hole that can store water. It is a pottery-like moisture derivative formed in the whole, and the periphery is formed in a shape that matches the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the lower middle height position in the flower pot, and a horizontal water supply hole is penetrated in the center portion A partition plate, one or more rod-like water discharge projections standing at a height reaching the upper middle height position of the flowerpot formed on the upper surface of the partition plate, and a lower surface of the partition plate And a pedestal in which the partition plate is formed at a lower middle height position in the flower pot and a water storage space is formed at the bottom.
And the soil particle | grains in the said flower pot enabled it to hold | maintain moderate humidity for a long period of time, It is characterized by the above-mentioned.

  The invention according to claim 2 is the above invention, wherein the pedestal has an upright cylindrical shape that forms a central water storage space and a surrounding water storage space, and the central portion is formed on a part of the lower side of the pedestal. It is characterized in that a water cutout portion is formed to connect the water storage space of the water and the surrounding water storage space.

  The invention described in claim 3 is a flower pot containing the moisture derivative according to claim 1 or 2, which has an inner bottom without a bottom hole so that water can be stored, and the inner surface is subjected to non-water absorption treatment. The water derivative is built in the plant pot, and a soil fall prevention net is laid on the water supply hole of the moisture derivative, and the soil for planting the plant is placed on the moisture derivative, and water sprinkled from above the soil. The water level is adjusted so that it does not reach the upper surface of the partition board.

  The invention according to claim 4 is the flower pot according to claim 3, wherein the water pot has a drain hole on a side surface of the flower pot that is slightly lower than the upper surface of the divider, and the excess water is in the flower pot. Is discharged outside from the drain hole, and the water level in the flower pot is automatically adjusted to an amount that does not reach the upper surface of the divider.

Since the present invention has the above structure, the root of the plant planted in the flower pot is sucked into the moisture derivative having micropores that cause capillary action, and the water stored in the water storage space around the pedestal of the moisture derivative is And the water is discharged from the surface of the water discharge protrusion into the flower pot as water vapor or the like, and gives moisture to the soil particles in the flower pot.
At that time, the soil particles in the flower pot do not absorb the water stored directly, but in the space between the particles at all times, the water is moderately supplied by the supply of water vapor released from the upper surface of the moisture derivative and the diffusion protrusions. Will be included.
For this reason, the soil particles do not become excessively watery, and even when water is accumulated in the water storage space, the soil particles do not become root rot and can be maintained in a state where they are not too dry.

Further, moisture is supplied in a state where air, that is, oxygen is held in the space between the particles, and a favorable environment for the roots of the plant is formed in the flower pot, and the preferable environment can be maintained for a long period of time.
Furthermore, since the water stored in the water storage space is released moderately through the moisture derivative, it can be used for a long time on family trips etc. if it is stored in large quantities depending on the size of the water storage space. Even without it, it becomes possible to manage the plant normally.

  The form for implementing about the water derivative of this invention and the flowerpot using the water derivative is demonstrated below.

The moisture derivative 2 of the present invention is used in a flower pot 1 as shown in FIGS.
The plant pot 1 can be made of stainless steel, plastic, glass, ceramics, etc., and a material such as ceramics that contains water and is wetted is subjected to non-water-absorbing treatment by painting on the inner surface 1a. Use water that does not absorb water from the bowl.

The moisture derivative 2 in the flower pot 1 is used by being placed on the inner bottom 1b of the flower pot 1 made of the above-mentioned material with a bottom of about 16 cm in diameter and no bottom hole, and an upper opening of about 25 cm in diameter and 25 cm in height.
The moisture derivative 2 is obtained by firing earth to a thickness of about 1 cm, and uses a pottery shape in which micropores that cause capillary action are formed throughout.
The moisture derivative 2 is formed by integrating a horizontal partition 3, a rod-shaped water discharge protrusion 5 thereon, and a base 4 below it.

The partition 3 is formed with a diameter of 22 cm in a shape that matches the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the lower middle height position 1 c of about 6 cm from the inner bottom 1 b in the flower pot 1. As shown in FIG. 5, this is for enabling storage so as to fit on the inner surface of the flower pot 1.
That is, when the shape of the flower pot 1 is a square, the shape of the periphery of the partition 3 is a square shape corresponding to the size and shape of the flower pot 1 as shown in FIG. In this case, as shown in FIG. 4, the size and shape of the flower pot are made to correspond to each other and formed into an elliptical shape so that the flower pot 1 can be surely fitted into the lower part of the flower pot 1.
And the water supply hole 6 about 1 cm in diameter is penetrated in the center part of the said partition board 3. As shown in FIG. Water is poured into the space below the partition 3 from this hole.

As shown in FIG. 1, the water discharge protrusion 5 has a rod shape with two diameters of about 1 cm, is formed on the upper surface of the partition 3, and has a height of about 7 cm that reaches the upper middle height position of the flower pot 1. It is erected with an interval of about 6 cm in the center.
Although depending on the length of the water discharge protrusion 5 and the depth of the flower pot 1, about 3 to 8 cm is preferable.

As shown in FIG. 1, the pedestal 4 is formed on the lower surface of the partition 3 so that the partition 3 can be held at a low intermediate height position 1 c in the flower pot 1. Its height is preferably about 6 cm.
As shown in FIG. 5, a water storage space 9 is formed under the partition 3.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the water derivative 2 having the above-described configuration is such that water in the water storage space 9 is sucked up through the water derivative 2 by capillary action, and the flower pot 1 is exposed from the surfaces of the partition board 3 and the water discharge protrusion 5. Accordingly, the soil particles 10 in the flower pot 1 can be kept at a suitable humidity for a long period of time.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the shape of the pedestal 4 can be an upright cylindrical shape in which a central portion and two surrounding water storage spaces 9 a and 9 b are formed. In the case of this cylindrical shape, a part of the lower side of the pedestal 4 is cut away to form a water cutout portion 7 that connects the two water storage spaces 9a and 9b, and the water that has entered from the water supply hole 6 is centered. It is possible to quickly move from the side water storage space 9a to the surrounding water storage space 9b.

Next, the flower pot 1 incorporating the moisture derivative 2 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, the flower pot 1 of the present invention has no bottom hole and the inner surface 1 a is subjected to non-water absorption treatment.
The non-water absorption of the inner surface 1a prevents the water in the surrounding water storage space 9b from being excessively released along the inner surface 1a, and effectively uses the stored water for soil particles. This is to reduce the amount of water released without being used in the soil and to prevent the soil particles 10 from getting wet excessively.

In the flower pot 1, as shown in FIG. 2, a soil fall prevention net 8 is laid on the water supply hole 6 of the built-in moisture derivative 2, and a plant is placed on the moisture derivative 2 as shown in FIG. 5. Place soil particles 10 such as culture soil for planting in the pot for about 7 minutes.
And when using, as shown in FIG. 6, the plant 11 is planted and water is sprinkled on the soil particles 10, such as culture soil. At this time, the sprinkled water fills the water storage space 9, and the water level L is adjusted to an amount that does not reach the upper surface of the partition 3 to manage the water.
At that time, in order to avoid excessive water supply, a water drain hole (not shown) is provided at a position slightly lower than the upper surface portion of the partition plate 3, and the water level L sprayed from above the soil particles 10 is It can also be automatically adjusted to an amount that does not reach the top surface.

In the plant pot 1, as shown in FIG. 6, the root 12 of the planted plant 11 grows so as to surround the water discharge protrusion 5 in search of the water W supplied from the water storage space 9.
The soil particles 10 in the flower pot 1 are appropriately supplied with water vapor diffused from the upper surface of the moisture derivative 2 and the water discharge protrusions 5 in the space between the particles. At this time, the soil particles 10 are not in a state of excessive water retention, and are not too dry, and a favorable environment is formed in the roots in which air is held in the space between the particles.
For this reason, although water always accumulates in the water storage space 9, the amount of water replenished to the soil particles is moderately adjusted as water vapor etc. by the water derivative 2, so that it does not get wet excessively and causes root rot, etc. Does not happen.

However, when water is covered on the upper surface of the partition 3, the soil particles 10 placed on the partition 3 directly absorb the water excessively, and the plant rots with the excessively wet soil. It is preferable because it becomes prone to illness and excessive water is supplied into the flower pot 1, so that the water in the water storage space 9 is discharged in a short period of time, so that watering must be performed frequently. There is no.
Therefore, if a drainage hole (not shown) is provided on the side surface of the flower pot 1 at a position lower than the upper surface of the partition board 3, the water level L due to the rainwater that has fallen even when the flower pot is placed outdoors. However, since it does not reach the upper surface of the divider 3, there is an advantage that it does not take time to manage the adjustment of the water level L.

  The water derivative of the present invention is mainly used for a domestic flower pot, but can also be used for a business flower pot in an office, a store, a hotel or the like.
