Description

  The present invention relates to an environmental naturalized bowl that returns to natural soil after use.

  Conventionally, to grow ornamental plants such as bonsai and foliage plants, use pottery or resin plant pots, or use moss balls to cover plant roots and soil with moss instead of pots Has been. In the case of moss balls, if the plant has withered or is no longer needed, it can be left in the natural environment and eventually returned to the soil, which is less affected by environmental pollution, but in the case of a resin bowl, Although it can be recycled, if it is made of ceramics, it will be disposed of in landfills as waste, and there is concern over its impact on the environment.

In JP 2003-299413, as a method of manufacturing a flower pot that is easy to handle when planting plants and can be easily pulverized and discarded, kneaded diatomaceous earth powder is shaped into a block body using a mold, Although the technique of baking at the temperature of 800-1000 degreeC is disclosed, the calcination temperature is high and suspicion remains in returning to the soil of nature.

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-170861 enables mass production at low cost, and realizes excellent water retention, drainage, and air permeability. Two types of porous inorganic particles with different melting points are kneaded, molded and fired so that a void is formed between the porous inorganic particles, and the inorganic sintered material is melted in the firing process, and this is used as a binder to form a porous inorganic material. Although a technique for sintering particles so that innumerable voids are formed between the particles is disclosed, it is technically different from the present invention in that an inorganic sintered material is used as a binder.

When relatively small plants such as mini bonsai and moss balls are used for viewing purposes, not only as a room interior, but also in recent years, there has been an increasing demand for a mental relaxation effect. As a means to reproduce, it is often seen that bonsai and foliage plants are used.

The present invention is a plant pot for reproducing a natural space in a room or building, and it is a model that is closer to nature. In order to provide an environmental naturalization type pot that can be easily crushed and returned to the soil, even if it is reproduced, and if it is buried in the soil, the pot will eventually return to the soil. The object is to fire at a low temperature, maintain the bond between the soils even in the low temperature firing, and maintain the strength in use.

  The environmental naturalized pot of the present invention is characterized by adding bamboo and pulverized fiber to the main raw material soil, kneading and shaping it into a bowl shape, and then firing at a low temperature of 450 to 650 degrees. And

  By kneading bamboo pulverized into fibers into the main material soil, fibrous bamboo, which is relatively heat resistant, can serve as a binder to the soil, and can maintain a certain level of bonding strength even after firing. It becomes. Bamboo is not only a natural material but also strong in plants, and as a result of repeated research and testing as a method of using the material of the pot, it has been clarified that it is most desirable to pulverize it into fibers. In addition, by firing at a low temperature of 450 to 650 degrees, the fired product is prevented from becoming ceramic or ceramic, and is easily pulverized and at the same time easily returned to natural soil.

  It is also possible to improve the water absorption of the bowl by adding straw to the raw material. In addition, cocoons may be used in place of the pulverized fibrous bamboo. In these cases, however, the strength of the bowl is weakened.

  The pot of the present invention has a natural color and shape, and when used continuously, moss grows on the outer periphery of the pot, making it possible to reproduce nature even more.

When planting the plant in the pot of the present invention, for example, in a flower bed, etc., it is buried in the soil as a potted plant, the pot eventually returns to the soil, and when the pot is no longer needed, it can be easily crushed with bare hands It is possible to return to the soil by spreading or filling on the soil and reduce the environmental load.

The details of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an example of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view of an example of the present invention in which a plant is planted.

The environmental naturalized pot of the present invention is made by adding 40 g of bamboo ground into a fibrous form and an appropriate amount of water to 200 g of soil as a main raw material. After kneading, it is shaped into an arbitrary bowl shape and fired at 450 ° to 650 ° for about 120 minutes. Fibrous bamboo, which is relatively heat resistant, serves as a binder with soil and can maintain a certain degree of bond strength after firing. Bamboo is not only natural, but also strong in plants, and as a method of using the material of the pot, it is most desirable to grind it into a fiber as a result of repeated research and testing.

The ratio of soil and fibrous bamboo is preferably 5: 1 by weight, but is not limited to this, and may be appropriately adjusted within the range of 4: 1 to 7: 1. Increasing the ratio of fibrous bamboo increases the water absorption rate of the pot. Bamboo in the form of fibers is familiar with the soil, improves workability during modeling, and makes it easy to finish the surface of the bowl smoothly. Also, it is relatively resistant to heat and plays a role as a reinforcing material for maintaining the strength of the bowl after firing.

  The firing temperature may be in the range of 450 degrees to 650 degrees and does not affect the strength of the finished product due to the temperature difference, but since the hue changes, it is also possible to select the temperature for color adjustment, The temperature may be selected in terms of production efficiency. However, if it is less than 450 degrees, the strength of the bowl will be weak, and if it exceeds 650 degrees, it will approach the pottery and will not be returned to the soil.

The firing time is preferably about 120 minutes, but is not limited thereto. However, if it is less than 120 minutes, the sintering is insufficient and the strength is insufficient, and even if the baking is performed for more than 120 minutes, the color changes to the extent that it does not affect the strength. Absent.

  Put the soil in the finished pot, plant the plant, and use it as a bonsai or foliage plant for viewing. You may spread moss on the surface of the soil. The pot itself is water-absorbing, can hold water in both the soil and the pot, and the pot also adjusts the amount of water, so the amount of water in the soil is kept constant to prevent root rot. If you continue to use it, moss grows on the outer periphery of the bowl, so you can enjoy the taste like a moss ball.

  The water absorbability of the pot can be increased by further adding cocoons to the soil and fibrous bamboo that are the raw materials of Example 1. If the amount of soot added is small, the water absorption decreases, but the strength can be secured. If there are many wrinkles, water absorption will improve, but intensity will fall. Moreover, although the smoothness of the surface of a pot also falls, the environment for growing moss is prepared and it is suitable for making a moss ball style. Instead of lowering the strength, there is also an advantage that it can be easily returned to the soil, and can be appropriately selected according to the intended use. By increasing the ratio of the fibrous bamboo or cocoon, the time for the completed bowl to absorb water is also shortened compared to the case of Example 1. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an example of the present invention in which fibrous bamboo and cocoons are added.

  By using a straw instead of the fibrous bamboo of Example 1, the water absorption of the pot can be increased. Although the water absorption can be adjusted by the amount of soot, the strength is lower than those in Examples 1 and 2. Moreover, although the smoothness of the surface of a pot also falls like Example 2, the environment for growing moss is prepared and it is suitable for making a moss ball style. Instead of lowering the strength, there is also an advantage that it is easy to return to the soil and an advantage of cost reduction, which can be selected appropriately according to the intended use. As in Example 2, the time taken for the completed bowl to absorb water is also shortened compared to Example 1.

  Regarding the shape of the bowl, it can be shaped into various shapes, such as a moss ball, a spherical shape, a cubic shape, or a dish shape. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of an example of the present invention shaped like a dish.

The environmental naturalized pots of the present invention can be industrially produced and distributed to the market as potted plants for viewing.
