DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the inside of the pot is not subject to a sudden temperature change due to the outside temperature in summer or winter, and is always maintained at an appropriate humidity. ， It is especially suitable for potted cultivation of orchids, and it can also be used as a container for accommodating and cultivating pots already planted with plants such as orchids, and it is also extremely useful as an indoor interior item (decorative ornament). The purpose is to provide flower pots that are rich in taste.

[0004]

In order to achieve the first object of the present invention, the present invention is capable of attaching and detaching a drop bottom provided at an appropriate height position in the middle of a pot body by penetrating an appropriate number of ventilation holes. And the inside of the bowl below that was used as a water storage tank, and an appropriate number of drain holes penetrating to the outside were provided on the wall surface of the bowl below the drop bottom. (Structure of claim 1)

In order to achieve the second object, the present invention provides an appropriate number of spacing members on the peripheral surface of the pot body above the drop bottom, and plants orchids or the like are planted in the pot body. An outer surface of a bowl is placed in contact with the spacing member, the bottom surface is dropped and placed on the bottom to be housed, and an appropriate space is always maintained between the outer surface of the housed bowl and the inner surface of the bowl body. It became like this. (Structure of claim 2)

Further, in order to achieve the third object, according to the present invention, the pot body is formed by being divided into an upper piece and a lower piece, and the divided pieces can be fitted and assembled to be integrated. I made it. (Structure of claim 3)

[0007]

In the structure of claim 1, when water is filled in the water storage tank below the bottom of the bowl, the water level in the water storage tank is always maintained at a predetermined water level below it due to the existence of the drainage holes. A predetermined space is always arranged between the above and the floor above it. Therefore, the air is sufficiently circulated between the upper part and the lower part in the pot through the vent hole in the middle of the bottom, and the water vapor evaporated from the water in the water storage tank is passed through the vent hole in the bottom. Ascends and an appropriate amount of humidity (humidity) is applied to the bowl above the drop bottom. Then, in summer, the upper part of the pot is cooled by water vapor evaporating from the water tank to prevent the temperature inside the pot from rising due to an increase in the outside temperature, while in winter, the temperature of the water in the tank is lower. Since the temperature is higher than the outside temperature, the heat insulation effect prevents the temperature from decreasing due to the decrease in the outside temperature.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, an appropriate number of spacing members are provided between the outer wall surface of the pot in which a plant such as an orchid housed in the pot is planted and the inner wall surface of the pot. Since it is open, the air and water vapor are sufficiently circulated, and the space holding member is supported to stably accommodate the pot.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings.

FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view of a flower pot according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a plan view thereof. In FIG.
It is a pottery-made pot body formed in the shape of a bottomed cylinder in which the middle part is narrowed down and the upper part and the lower part are gradually expanded outward.
A disk-shaped pottery drop bottom 3 provided through an appropriate number of vent holes 2 (five in the example in the figure) is detachably disposed at an appropriate height position in the middle of the pot body 1. Has been done. That is, three receiving projections 4 are provided on the inner wall surface of the middle portion of the pot body 1 at intervals of 120 degrees by sticking or integrally forming, and the bottoms are dropped on the three receiving projections 4. 3 is placed.
The bottom 3 may be made of wood. The space inside the bowl 1 below the drop bottom 3 is a water storage tank 5 for always storing water.
An appropriate number (three in the example in the figure) of drainage holes 6 penetrating to the outside are formed on the inner wall surface of the pot body 1 at an appropriate distance below the drop bottom 3. The three drain holes 6 are arranged at an angle of 120 degrees with respect to each other as shown in the figure. Therefore, even if enough water is poured into the bowl 1 so that it overflows from the water tank 5, excess water will overflow from the drain hole 6 to the outside,
Water is always stored at a predetermined water level inside, and a space portion having a predetermined distance is always opened between the water surface and the bottom 3. When a plant such as an orchid is planted in the pot body 1, a lump of soil with coarse particles is placed on the drop bottom 3, and soil with fine particles is gradually placed on the lump, and a plant such as an orchid is planted.
Give enough water from above the soil. When the supplied water soaks into the soil, flows down from the ventilation hole of the bottom 3 into the water tank 5 below, gradually collects, and is supplied so as to overflow above the drain hole 6, as described above. Drain hole 6
The water level of the water storage tank 5 is constantly maintained at a predetermined height of the lower surface of the drain hole 6, and a space portion having a predetermined distance is formed between the water surface and the drop bottom 3. Therefore, in the upper part and the lower part of the drop bottom 3 in the bowl 1, the air is smoothly circulated through the ventilation holes 2, and
The upper soil is not always contacted with water and is not excessively moisturized.
It rises through and is given a moderate amount of moisture to maintain an appropriate humidity. Then, in the summer, the cooling effect of the steam that evaporates and rises prevents the temperature inside the bowl 1 from rising due to changes in the outside air temperature, and maintains a proper temperature.
On the contrary, in winter, the temperature of the water in the water storage tank 5 is higher than the outside air temperature, so that the heat insulation effect prevents the temperature from decreasing due to the change in the outside air temperature, and is maintained at an appropriate temperature.
Further, the drainage hole 6 functions not only as a flooding function but also as a ventilation hole, so that the circulation of air in the bowl 1 is further improved.

Although the drain hole 6 has a circular (full moon) shape in the illustrated example, it may have a semicircular (half moon) shape in which the upper half is smoothly cut. In this case, ,
Since the upper half is closed and the opening area of the hole is halved, the amount of water vapor discharged from the drain hole 6 per unit time is reduced,
The amount of water vapor retained in the space between the water surface of the water storage tank 5 and the drop bottom 3 increases by that amount, which is suitable for maintaining an appropriate humidity in the bowl 1. Also, by preparing pottery and wooden drop bottoms 3, it is possible to selectively and selectively use the drop bottoms 3 at a suitable time, such as at the time of replanting, depending on the type of cultivation or preference.

Numeral 7 is a spacing member, which is formed in the form of a rod-shaped projection made of earthenware having a triangular cross section, and is provided at three locations on the inner peripheral surface of the bowl 1 above the drop bottom 3 at intervals of 120 degrees. It is arranged by sticking or the like. The spacing member 7 is used when the existing pot in which a plant such as an orchid is planted is accommodated in the pot body 1. The existing pots that have already been planted are placed in the pot body 1 with their bottoms placed on the bottoms 3, and the outer peripheral surfaces of the pots are supported by the spacing members 7 from three sides. With the point support, the pot is stably accommodated. Further, when the bowl is inserted and housed in the bowl 1, a three-point contact with the spacing member has an anti-slip effect, and the hand is accidentally slipped to drop the bowl rapidly into the bowl 1. Inconveniences such as are prevented. The three-point support of the spacing member 7 prevents the outer peripheral surface of the pot to be housed and the inner peripheral surface of the pot body 1 from being in close contact with each other, and a proper spacing is always maintained between them, so that air permeability and appropriateness are maintained. Suitable for maintaining high humidity. The shape of the spacing member 7 is not limited to the above triangular embodiment, but may be any suitable shape.

Further, the pot body 1 may be divided into an upper half portion and a lower half portion, and the divided upper piece and lower piece can be fitted and assembled so that they can be integrated by the assembly. . In this case, the material, color, and design pattern of the upper and lower halves are different by making each division piece made of ceramic or wood, and by making the colors and design patterns different from each other. It can be used in combination as a bowl.

[0015]

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, it solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art and has the following unique effects.

According to the first aspect of the invention, a pot bottom is provided in the middle of the pot, which has a ventilation hole for holding the soil and for planting a plant, and a pot bottom provided below the bottom to keep moisture in the soil. Since a water tank for giving water and a drain hole which also has a ventilation function for maintaining a predetermined water level and always forming an appropriate space between the water surface and the bottom are provided in the pot body. The air flow is good, and there is no risk of excessive humidity being given to the space above the drop bottom where the plants are planted, and the humidity is always maintained at an appropriate level. In summer, the excessive temperature rise in the pot due to the sudden temperature change of the outside temperature due to the cooling effect of the vapor evaporated from the water tank below the pot is excessive in the winter due to the adiabatic effect of the vapor and the reservoir. The temperature decrease is prevented, and the temperature change in the pot can be suppressed as much as possible, and the temperature can be maintained within the range suitable for plant cultivation as much as possible. Therefore, it is suitable for potted cultivation of plants, especially potted cultivation of orchids, especially terrestrial orchids, which are difficult to grow due to changes in temperature and humidity. In addition, since the drop bottom in the middle of the pot is detachably arranged, it can be used properly according to the taste and cultivation type such as pottery and wood, and it can be used with various tastes and is suitable. It is also suitable in terms of durability by exchanging at a different time.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since an appropriate number of spacing members are provided, instead of planting the plant in the pot, the existing pot in which the plant is planted is inserted and arranged in the pot as it is, and the potted cultivation is performed. You can At that time, the existing pot in which the plant is planted is stably accommodated and supported by the presence of the spacing member and the drop bottom, and it is possible to prevent inconveniences such as slipping the hand when accommodating and accidentally dropping the pot into the pot. To be done. Then, since there is a proper space between the outer peripheral surface of the pot and the inner peripheral face of the pot that are housed via the spacing member, the air permeability is always the same as when planting plants in the pot. The plant can be cultivated in pots under suitable conditions that are rich in water and maintained at an appropriate humidity.

According to the third aspect of the invention, since the pot body is divided into the upper piece and the lower piece so that they can be fitted and assembled,
It can be used as a pot with a combination of different materials such as pottery and wood, or different colors and design patterns at any time, and it can be used in a variety of tastes as well as indoors. It is also suitable as an ornament (interior product).
