Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a flowerpot, placable in a stable state on a flow channel and movable by passing it on by forming two guide grooves for housing both edges of the flow channel parallel in the pot bottom of the flowerpot. CONSTITUTION:Two guide grooves 21 and 21 for housing both edges of a flow channel in the form of a recessed groove having an opened top surface are formed parallel in the pot bottom of a flowerpot 20. Outer base parts 22 and 22 and the central base part 23 are formed so as to place the pot bottom part except the guide grooves on the flow channel in its state slightly dropped into the center and right and left both outsides of the channel.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a flowerpot irrigation system for automatically irrigating a flowerpot placed on a running water channel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional flower pot of this type has a configuration that is convenient for being placed in a running water channel, so that it is unstable when the flower pot is placed on a flat surface such as a floor. or,
In order to keep the flowerpot on the running water channel in a stable manner, part of the bottom of the pot is dropped into the groove, and in the dropped state, it is rotated horizontally about the center of the pot to form the groove. It was structured to engage with each other.

[0003]

The conventional structure is sufficient from the viewpoint of stably placing the flowerpot on the running water channel, but rather, the flowerpot is fixed on the running water channel. The work of arranging them side by side on the running channel and collecting them becomes extremely complicated. Further, since the flower pot placed on the running water channel has a dedicated form, it cannot be used as a general flower pot, and the work of transferring the pot has been forced. The present invention aims to solve such problems.

[0004]

According to the present invention, a flow channel (10) having a concave groove with an open upper surface is provided in a flower pot irrigation device in which a flower pot is placed on a flow channel for automatic watering. Two guide grooves (21, 21) for accommodating both side edge portions (11, 11) of the groove-like flowing water channel (10) are formed parallel to the bottom of the pot, and when placed, the guide grooves (21 , 21) except for the bottom of the pot is composed of the center (13) of the groove and the flowerpot (20) which is formed so as to be slightly dropped on both outer sides (14, 14). It is characterized by

[0005]

According to the present invention, since the bottom of the pot holds both edges of the concave groove of the running water channel, the mounting state is stabilized. In addition, since the flowerpot can be slid while it is placed on the running water channel, when placing or collecting the flowerpot, the flowerpot is fed forward while the operator is located at the upstream or downstream end of the running water channel. It can be placed and collected at. Furthermore, the flowerpots of the present apparatus can be placed on a flat surface and used in the same manner as ordinary flowerpots.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 is a running water channel, and reference numeral 20.
Is a flowerpot. As shown in FIG. 2, the running water channel 10 of the embodiment.
Is a U-shaped steel material having an open top surface and a U-shaped cross-section, and the mounting surfaces 12 and 12 are formed by bending both end edges 11 and 11 of the steel material so as to be horizontal. ing.

In FIG. 3, on the bottom surface of the flower pot 20, two guide grooves 21 and 21 for accommodating both side edge portions 11 and 11 of the running water channel 10 are formed in parallel with the bottom of the pot. The width of the guide grooves 21 and 21 is equal to the width of both end edges 11 and 11 of the flowing water channel 10.
It is preferable that the width be such that the mounting surfaces 12 and 12 can be loosely fitted, and that the mounting surfaces 12 and 12 can be easily set in the embodiment. The bottom of the pot is this guide groove 2
The parts other than 1 and 21 are dropped into the center 13 and the left and right outer sides 14 and 14 of the groove. That is, the bottom of the flower pot 10 is formed with the outer bottom surface portions 22 and 22 on the both sides that are in contact with the floor and the central bottom surface portion 23 that can be in contact with the floor in the center.

In FIG. 1 again, reference numeral 30 is a water guiding member which penetrates the hole at the bottom of the pot and guides water and growth nutrients from the running water channel 10 to the soil in the pot by a capillary phenomenon.

[0010]

According to the present invention, since the bottom of the pot holds both edges of the concave groove of the running water channel, the plant pot can be placed in a stable state. Also, the flower pot can be slid while it is placed on the running water channel, and when carrying out the placement work and the collection work of the flower pot, the operator can position the flower pot in sequence while keeping the operator at the upstream end or the downstream end of the running water channel. It can be placed and collected. Furthermore, the flowerpots of the present apparatus can be placed on a flat surface and used in the same manner as ordinary flowerpots. Therefore, unlike the conventional case, the replanting work is not required, which can greatly contribute to the improvement of productivity.
