Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION “Industrial field of application” The present invention relates to a plant cultivation shelf in which a plurality of flower pots each having an outer container and a receiving container filled with soil for planting are arranged in a holding device. Regarding

[Prior Art] Conventional pots are generally unglazed or made of a simple resinous container, and are filled with soil, and plants are planted and grown in this soil.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, the bottom of the container 1 is filled with water with nutrients, the lid 2 supports the base of the plant, and the root of the plant extends into the water through the space above the water surface. There is something I did.

Conventionally, these flower pots have generally been arranged in a stepped shelf and watered daily for each plant pot.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in such a conventional technique, the former general flowerpot has a problem that the root growth is poor because the air permeability in the soil is poor, and the growth of the plant is not sufficient. However, in the latter case, the roots in the air are easy to dry, and the roots in the water are deficient in oxygen, resulting in poor root growth. In the conventional plant cultivation shelves, the flower pots are simply arranged, so that it is necessary to water the flower pots every day, and there are problems that the water is not evenly distributed and the watering work is complicated. It was

The present invention has been made by paying attention to such conventional problems, plant cultivation with good root development and good plant growth, and reliable and easy watering. Intended to provide shelves.

"Means for Solving the Problem" The gist of the present invention for achieving such an object is to provide a device for holding a plurality of flower pots in which an outer container is internally provided with a receiving container for filling soil for planting. These are plant cultivation shelves arranged side by side, and the outer container of the flowerpot is made of a non-water-permeable material with the upper part opened, and a water-absorbing dark opaque sheet is attached to the inner surface, and a water reservoir is formed at the bottom. A small hole is formed in the side of the water surface of the water reservoir so that the receiving container of the flowerpot has a mesh shape with a large number of through holes on the outer peripheral surface, and the bottom surface is a cage-like shape. The container is fitted into the outer container, a space for rooting is formed between the outer peripheral surface of the receiving container and the outer container, the upper end of the space is closed and a small vent hole is formed, and the bottom of the receiving container is The holding device is located higher than the water surface of the water reservoir of the outer container. , A plurality of shelves that are water tanks that can immerse more than half of the height of the flower pot are combined in a staircase, and the water in the water tank of the upper shelf is inward from the upward opening of the water tank of the lower shelf. In order to pour in, a plant cultivation shelf is characterized in that a drain hole that can be opened and closed with a plug is opened at the lower end of the peripheral wall of the upper shelf.

"Action" To grow plants, plant the plants in the soil filled in the receiving container,
The receiving container is placed inside the outer container.

The flower pots are arranged in a water tank on each stage of the holding device. Watering the flowerpot is done by pouring water into the tank and submerging the entire flowerpot.

When the flower pot is submerged in water, water enters through the small holes on the side of the outer container and submerges into the inside of the receiving container from the outer peripheral surface of the mesh-shaped receiving container and the bottom of the cage-like container, and the outer peripheral surface of the receiving container and the outer container Not only the space for rooting between and but also the inside of the outer container is filled with water.

Therefore, when the water in the aquarium is drained, the water level drops, and the water contained inside flows out through the small holes on the side, which is the height of the water surface of the water reservoir at the bottom of the outer container. Therefore, the water in the water reservoir is stored without flowing out.

Further, the soil filled in the receiving container retains sufficient water, and sufficient air enters from the upper and side surfaces, so that the dark opaque sheet on the inner surface of the outer container also keeps a wet state.

Watering is done at appropriate intervals such as once a day so as to keep a good condition, the flowerpot has adequate water in the water reservoir, the soil does not dry, and the dark opaque sheet on the inner surface of the outer container is also used. Manage to keep wet.

When properly watered, the dark opaque sheet is opaque and non-reflective, so the roots stay dark and have adequate moisture and breathability to keep the roots in good condition. Grow below.

In the space for rooting between the outer peripheral surface and the outer container, small holes on the side of the outer container communicate with each other in the lower part, and vent holes communicate with each other in the upper part. Will never rot.

When fully grown, it extends through the mesh on the side of the receiving container to the space for rooting between the outer peripheral surface of the receiving container and the outer container, and in the lower part it also extends to the water reservoir through the bottom cage. Like Since the atmosphere in the voids and the water reservoir is moist, the roots do not dry and strong roots grow.

The usage of the holding device is as follows. When watering, put a stopper and close the drain hole, and then fill the inside of the water tank on the top shelf with a lot of water.

More than half of the height of the flowerpot placed on the top shelf is submerged in water, and as described above, water enters through the small holes on the side of the outer container, the inside of the receiving container, the space for rooting, etc. , The inside of the outer container is filled with water.

When the flowerpot placed on the top shelf is fully submerged, remove the stopper and open the drain hole. Then, the upper water flows out from the drain hole and is poured into the water tank on the lower shelf. If you close the drain holes on the lower shelves, the lower aquarium will be filled with water, and the flowerpots placed there will be submerged in water.

In this way, by making the water flow down one after another from the upper stage, it is possible to water the flower pots on the shelves of the respective stages. The water decreases as you go to the bottom, but there is no shortage of water if you change the size of the tank or increase the volume of water.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The receiving container 30 has a shape along the inside of the outer container 20, an outer peripheral surface 31 is formed in a wavy shape along the outer periphery and has a large number of through holes, and a bottom surface 32 is also a cage shape.
A flange 33 having a curved cross section so as to cover the opening 21 of the outer container 20 is formed at the upper end of the receiving container 30 so as to project in the radial direction.

The through hole of the outer peripheral surface 31 of the receiving container 30 is horizontally long so as to be constrained in the vertical direction and stable when the root A1 of the plant A is inserted. The outer peripheral surface 31 is formed in a wavy shape in order to increase the contact area between the soil and the atmosphere. If the bottom surface 32 is pushed upward from the main body of the receiving container 30 to be removed, it is possible to push the bottom surface upward without applying force to the plant at the time of transplanting.

The receiving container 30 is fitted inside the outer container 20 to be assembled. The outer peripheral surface 31 of the receiving container 30 is along the inner surface of the peripheral wall 24 of the outer container 20, and a void 11 for rooting is formed therebetween. The upper end of the void 11 is closed by a flange 33 of the receiving container 30, and a small vent hole 34 is formed in the flange 33.

In the assembled state, the bottom surface 32 of the receiving container 30 is set higher than the water surface of the water reservoir 23 of the outer container 20.

FIG. 5 shows a flowerpot holding device 40 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Is shown.

The holding device 40 is formed by combining a plurality of shelves 50, 50 ... In a stepwise manner, and each shelving 50 is a water tank 51 for immersing the flower pot 10.

The peripheral wall 52 of the upper shelf 50 is so arranged that the water in the water tank 51 of the upper shelf 50 is poured into the water tank 51 of the lower shelf 50.
A drain hole 53 is provided at the lower end of the. Drain hole 5
3 can be opened and closed by a plug 54.

Next, the operation will be described.

The plant A is grown in the receiving container 30 that is installed inside the outer container 20.
The plant A is planted in the soil filled in

The plant A may be sprinkled with water from the top, but it is effective to soak the entire plant pot 10 in water to supply water, and in order to perform it easily, add water as shown in FIG. A bucket B
Soak the flowerpot 10 in.

When the flower pot 10 is dipped in water, water enters through the small holes 25 of the peripheral wall 24 of the outer container 20, and the mesh of the outer peripheral surface 31 of the mesh-shaped receiving container 30 and the eye of the cage of the bottom surface 32 are received into the receiving container 3.

The inside of the outer container 20 including the space 11 for rooting between the outer container 20 and the outer container 20 is filled with water.

Then, when the flower pot 10 is pulled up, the water contained therein flows out from the small hole 25 of the peripheral wall 24 of the outer container 20, contrary to the above, and the small hole 25 fills the water reservoir 23 at the bottom of the outer container 20.
Since it is at the height of the water surface, the water in the water reservoir 23 is stored without flowing out.

Sufficient water is retained in the soil filled in the receiving container 30,
Sufficient air enters from the upper surface and the side surface, and the dark opaque sheet 22 on the inner surface of the outer container 20 also keeps a wet state.

Watering is done at appropriate intervals such as once a day so as to maintain a good condition, and the flowerpot 10 has water appropriately in the water reservoir 23,
The soil is not dried, and the dark opaque sheet 22 on the inner surface of the outer container 20 is controlled so as to be kept wet.

Dark opaque sheet 2 when properly watered
No. 2 does not transmit light and does not reflect, so the root A1 part is kept dark, and there is adequate water content and good breathability.
The root A1 grows under favorable conditions.

Gap 11 for rooting between the outer peripheral surface 31 and the outer container 20
Inside, the small holes 25 of the peripheral wall 24 of the outer container 20 communicate with each other in the lower portion, and the ventilation holes communicate with each other in the upper portion, so that the air in the void 11 does not stagnant and the water does not decay.

When fully grown, it extends through the mesh on the side surface of the receiving container 30 to the space 11 for rooting between the outer peripheral surface 31 of the receiving container 30 and the outer container 20, and at the lower part, it passes through between the cages at the bottom to store the water. The root A1 grows to 23. Since the atmosphere of the voids 11 and the water reservoir 23 is wet, the root A1 does not dry, and the strong root A1 grows.

If the holding device 40 for the stepped flower pot 10 is used, watering is easy, and the usage is as follows.

The flowerpots 10, 10 ... have tiered shelves 50, 50
Are placed side by side in the water tank 51, and when water is to be supplied, the water drain hole 53 is closed by the plug 54, and then the water is fully filled in the water tank 51 of the uppermost shelf 50.

The flowerpot 10 placed on the top shelf 50 is soaked in water,
As described above, water enters through the small holes 25 of the peripheral wall 24 of the outer container 20, and the inside of the receiving container 30 and the voids 11 for rooting
Etc., the inside of the outer container 20 is filled with water.

When the flowerpot 10 placed on the uppermost shelf 50 is sufficiently submerged, the stopper 54 is pulled out to open the water drain hole 53, and then the upper water flows out from the water drain hole 53 and the water tank 51 of the lower shelf 50 is provided.
Pour inside. If the water drain hole 53 of the lower shelf 50 is closed, the lower water tank 51 will be filled with water, and the plant pots 10, 10 ... Placed there will be submerged in water.

In this way, by making the water flow down one after another from the upper stage, it is possible to water the flower pots 10, 10 ... Of the shelves 50, 50. Although the amount of water decreases as it goes to the lower stage, there is no shortage of water if the size of the water tank 51 is changed or the volume of water is increased.
