Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention is an oxygen water for plants that is buried in the soil where plants are planted and can supply water to the plants and oxygen to the soil and roots. Regarding supply devices.

[Conventional technology]

When growing plants such as bonsai for ornamental purposes, or vegetables and fruit trees for self-sufficiency, it is important to regularly replenish water and nutrients to the soil in which the plants are planted, or to prevent oxygen deficiency in the soil. When the soil becomes weak, it is necessary to take careful care of the plants, such as replanting them in other soil, to help the plants grow.

However, it is difficult to permanently perform such detailed care, and if care is neglected, problems such as the plants withering and slowing down may occur.

Conventionally, in order to prevent such inconveniences, when plants are planted in a container such as a planter or pot, the container is placed on a dish containing moisture and nutrients, and a hole formed in the bottom of the container is placed. There is a known method of replenishing water and nutrients through Another known method is to use a siphon to supply water and nutrients to the soil.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

However, with these methods, although water and nutrients can be supplied, there is a problem that oxygen cannot be sufficiently supplied into the soil.

This invention was developed to solve the above problem, and its purpose is to permanently and adequately supply water to plants and oxygen to soil and roots over a long period of time. An object of the present invention is to provide an oxygen water supply device for plants.

[Means to solve the problem]

Therefore, the oxygen water supply device for plants of the present invention has a structure including a buried body made of a porous body buried in soil and in which peroxide is dispersed, and a mouth portion of the buried body. The above-mentioned problem is solved by making the water storage container removably embedded in a downward facing state.

[Operation] Water from the mouth of the water storage container starts from the mouth and gradually permeates downward into the buried object due to gravity or horizontally due to osmosis. Once the inside of the buried object is filled with water, it leaches into the soil from the surface of the buried object. When the soil becomes dry, the isotonic effect (equilibrium effect) causes water in the buried object to be supplied to the soil, and as a result, water in the water storage container is replenished to the buried object, making it possible to quickly replenish water to the soil. state.

In addition, the reaction between the moisture in the buried material and the peroxide causes the peroxide to decompose and release oxygen, some of which passes through the buried material as a gas and is released into the soil, while the other oxygen dissolves in the moisture in the buried material to become high-concentration oxygen water, which is then supplied to the soil.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, and reference numeral 1 in the figure indicates an oxygen water supply device for plants (hereinafter simply referred to as a supply device). The replenisher 1 in this example is
It is composed of a buried body 2 and a water storage container (hereinafter referred to as a container) 3.

The buried body 2 is a porous body whose main component is a spreading agent made of lacquer clay, and which is made by dispersing and mixing peroxide into this spreading agent and solidifying the mixture. Here, as the above-mentioned spreading agent, a dental plaster (lacquer plaster) such as α-hanhydrous plaster is preferably used in view of its high strength.
Moreover, as the above-mentioned peroxide, one having the property of releasing oxygen by reacting with water is selected, and specifically, calcium peroxide, barium peroxide, potassium peroxide, etc. are used. In particular, if the above-mentioned calcium peroxide is used, although calcium peroxide is poorly soluble in water, it can react slowly and permanently with water, making it possible to continue releasing oxygen over a long period of time. , is suitable. The amount of peroxide dispersed into the buried body is determined depending on the mechanical strength of the buried body and the amount of oxygen generated during use.

The buried object 2 in this example is processed into a substantially conical shape (wedge shape), and the center of the bottom (upper bottom in the drawing) 2a of the buried object 2 has a pointed portion 2b side (lower in the drawing). ) A substantially cylindrical hole 2c is formed.

The opening 3a of the container 3 is removably fitted into the hole 2c of the buried object 2, thereby integrally connecting the buried object 2 and the container 3.

This container 3 stores water therein for supply to plants or for reaction with peroxide in the buried body 2. The container 3 is made of a relatively lightweight and transparent material such as glass or a synthetic resin such as methacrylic resin, polypropylene resin, or AS resin. If the container 3 is made of a transparent material in this way, there is an advantage that the remaining amount of water in the container 3 can be easily checked during use. The opening 3a of the container 3 has a relatively narrow nozzle shape, and the inner diameter of the opening 3a is appropriately determined depending on the amount of water to be replenished during use.

Next, an example of how to use the replenisher 1 having such a configuration when applied to a potted plant will be described.

First, peroxide is dispersed and kneaded in a lacquer cookie, solidified, and then cut into a substantially conical shape to obtain the buried body 2. Next, the bottom 2a of the buried body 2 is cut into a cylindrical shape toward the pointed portion 2b to form a hole 2c having an inner diameter approximately equal to the outer diameter of the mouth 3a of the container 3. .

Next, after storing a predetermined amount of water such as tap water inside the container 3, the container 3 is temporarily fixed on a base (not shown) with the mouth portion 3a facing upward. Next, the mouth portion 3a of the temporarily fixed container 3 is fitted into the hole 2c of the buried body 2, and the container 3 is connected to the buried body 2 to integrate the two to assemble the replenisher 1.

Next, after releasing the temporary fixation of the container 3, the entire replenisher 1 is inverted, the pointed portion 2b of the buried body 2 is pressed against the surface layer of the soil B in the pot body A, and the buried body 2 is
Push the whole thing into soil B. At this time, the replenisher 1 does not need to be in a completely inverted state, but only needs to be tilted to such an extent that the water in the container 3 permeates into the buried body 2. In addition, when the buried object 2 is inserted, soil B
By exposing the container 3 at the top, it is possible to check the remaining amount of water in the container 3, and to replenish the water by removing the container 3 while keeping the buried object 2 stuck in the soil B. Become.

In the replenisher 1 inserted into the soil B in this way, water from the mouth 3a of the container 3 flows into the buried object 2.
Starting from the vicinity of the hole 2c, it gradually permeates downward into the buried body 2 due to gravity or outward due to osmotic action. When the inside of the buried body 2 is filled with water, water leaches from the surface of the buried body 2 into the soil B, thereby supplying sufficient moisture to the roots of the plant P in the pot body A. Then, when the soil B becomes dry, the moisture in the buried body 2 is supplied to the soil B due to the isotonic effect (equilibrium effect), and accordingly, the water in the container 3 is replenished to the buried body 2, and the soil B is immediately
It becomes possible to replenish water.

Furthermore, due to the reaction between the moisture in the buried body 2 and the peroxide, the peroxide is decomposed and oxygen is released. A part of this oxygen passes through the buried body 2 as a gas and is released into the soil B, and the other oxygen is dissolved in the moisture in the buried body 2 to become highly concentrated oxygen water, which is supplied to the soil B.

Then, by removing the container 3 from the buried body 2 of the replenisher 1, the supply of water to the buried body 2 can be stopped, so that the release of water, oxygen, or high concentration oxygen water from the buried body 2 can be gradually stopped. . Furthermore, by connecting the container 3 to the buried body 2 again, it can be put into use. When the peroxide in the buried body 2 has been completely consumed and the generation of oxygen has ended, the crushed material is crushed into soil B by crushing it with a hammer or the like and mixing it into the soil B. It can also be used as a modifier.

As described above, if this replenisher 1 is used, the container 3
By storing water in the container 3, connecting the container 3 to the buried body 2, and inserting the entire replenisher 1 upside down into the soil B, the water in the container 3 is transferred to the soil B according to the degree of dryness of the soil B. In addition to being able to replenish as needed, the buried body 2 is filled with moisture, so as long as peroxide remains in the buried body 2, oxygen can be generated by the reaction between this peroxide and water. is possible,
This oxygen can be sequentially supplied to soil B and roots of plants P in the form of gas or high-concentration oxygen water. Therefore, according to this replenisher 1, it is possible to reliably prevent water withering of plants P, and also to revitalize wilted plants P, and to maintain the amount of oxygen in soil B at a high level. Therefore, the growth of the plant P can also be promoted. Furthermore, when cultivating plants using this replenisher 1, the replenisher 1 can perform some of the conventional cultivation work such as watering, thereby simplifying the cultivation work. .

Furthermore, in the replenisher 1 of this example, the buried body 2 has a substantially conical shape, which has the advantage that it can be easily inserted into the soil B. Note that the shape of the buried object 2 is not limited to the above-mentioned substantially conical shape, and various shapes such as a prismatic shape and a cylindrical shape can be considered. A shape that is comfortable to sit on is selected to prevent the replenisher 1 itself from tipping over.

In addition, in the above example, if potassium salt or the like is used as the peroxide to be dispersed inside the buried body 2, when the peroxide is decomposed by reaction with water, potassium is liberated and dissolved in the water. Therefore, this potassium solution can also be used as fertilizer for the roots of plant P. Furthermore, in addition to peroxide, a compound that can be dissolved in water and used as a fertilizer or soil conditioner can be dispersed inside the buried body 2. Examples of such compounds include sodium nitrite, sodium sulfite, calcium phosphate, manganese dioxide, and graphite. In this case, the trouble of spraying fertilizers and soil conditioners into soil B can be saved, and
The growth of plants P can also be promoted.

In addition, not only the replenisher of this example but also the replenisher of the present invention is configured so that the buried body and the water storage container can be connected detachably, so that it is only necessary to assemble both immediately before use. , they can be stored separately when not in use, and have the advantage that when a buried body becomes unusable, only the buried body needs to be replaced with a new one.

[Experiment example]

A replenisher as shown in FIG. 1 was manufactured.

A container with a content capacity of 20 ml was prepared.
In addition, the buried body was prepared by kneading and solidifying each material according to the following formulation 1 and cutting it into a substantially conical shape.

Prescription 1 Sodium nitrite 0.25g Calcium peroxide 20g Calcium monophosphate 12.25g Manganese dioxide 2.5g Solidifying agent (dental lacquer cookie) 15g Total 50g This buried body has an outer diameter of 20mm at the bottom and a length of It was 40 mm, the inner diameter of the bottom hole was 5 mm, and its weight was about 20 g. When this buried body was immersed in water, oxygen could be generated for about 48 hours.

Next, the mouth of the container was fitted into the hole of this buried body to assemble the replenisher. Then, when the buried body of this replenisher was thrust into the soil and the generation of oxygen from the buried body was observed, the generation of oxygen continued for about one month. Furthermore, although the amount of water reduction in the container differed somewhat depending on the degree of dryness of the soil, 20 ml of water in the container was able to prevent the soil from drying for 2 to 3 weeks.

In addition, an embedded body was prepared using the following recipe 2 and an oxygen generation experiment similar to that described above was conducted, and in this case as well, it was possible to confirm the generation of oxygen for about one month.

Prescription 2 Sodium sulfite 0.25g Barium peroxide 15.75g Calcium monophosphate 15g Graphite 1.5g Manganese dioxide 2.5g Solidifying agent (dental lacquer) 15g Total 50g Furthermore, the soil was allowed to dry without watering for a week. I prepared a bonsai. When a replenisher using the buried body of Prescription 1 was inserted into the soil of this bonsai to supply water and oxygen, it was possible to revitalize the withered bonsai in about 5 days.

In addition, using high-concentration oxygen water (dissolved oxygen content of about 24 ppm) obtained from a replenisher using the buried body of prescription 1 and normal tap water (dissolved oxygen content of about 7 ppm), St. paulia etc. They worked on watering the flowers. As a result, when using high-concentration oxygen water, flowers and leaves appeared more vigorous, and the difference was obvious compared to when using regular tap water, and it was possible to confirm the activation of plants by high oxygen concentration. did it.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to the replenisher of the present invention, the water in the container can be appropriately replenished to the soil depending on the degree of dryness of the soil, and the buried body is filled with moisture, so that As long as peroxide remains, oxygen can be generated by the reaction between this peroxide and water, and this oxygen can be sequentially supplied to soil and plant roots in the form of gas or highly oxygenated water. Therefore, with this replenisher, it is possible to reliably prevent plants from drying out, and to revitalize wilted plants.It is also possible to maintain a high level of oxygen in the soil, so that plants can grow more efficiently. It can also promote growth.
