Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention provides a plant cultivation container equipped with a siphon,
The present invention relates to a container in which the siphon is annularly protruded from the outer wall of the container to form a grip portion of the container.

Conventionally, some plant cultivation containers used for gravel cultivation have separate parts for storing gravel and parts for storing nutrient solution, but in this case, although the nutrient solution can be exchanged, There is no way to distribute moisture evenly to the area. In addition, if the container is not separated into two, the nutrient solution cannot be exchanged, and therefore, harmful substances may accumulate, and there is a risk of salt damage, concentration disturbance, etc. originally,
In the natural environment, the action of rainfall washes down harmful substances, also regulates the concentration of nutrients, and on average replenishes moisture. However, no conventional cultivation container can reproduce this natural environment. Nowadays, in place of soil, high-temperature calcined stone such as Hydropol is used for indoor horticulture, and improvements in cultivation containers have been desired.

The present invention was made to improve the drawbacks of conventional cultivation containers. To explain this with reference to the drawings, an annular grip portion 2 is formed on the side wall of the container l.

The grip part 2 is hollow and forms a siphon having an inlet 3 and an outlet 4. The outlet 4 communicates with the outside of the vessel 1 near the bottom of the vessel 1, the inlet 3 communicates with the interior of the vessel above the outlet 4, and the uppermost edge 5 of the siphon communicates with the exterior of the vessel 1. It is located below the upper edge of 1.

Since the cultivation container of the present invention has the above structure, water is poured from above the container, and when the water level exceeds the uppermost edge 5 of the siphon, the siphon acts and water starts draining from the outlet 4. . If the water injection is stopped at this time, the water level in the container will drop and stop when it reaches the inlet 3, and no more water will be collected. Therefore, a constant amount of water is always held in the container. During this time, the water will fill up to almost the two edges of the container, so the entire medium will be hydrated and no dry areas will remain. Further, by providing a grip portion by protruding from the outer wall of the container, the container can be easily moved.

Furthermore, if the gripping portions are formed symmetrically on both the left and right side walls of the container, the appearance will be balanced, and at the stage of manufacturing the container, it will be possible to form the gripping portions symmetrically on both the left and right side walls of the container. If you mold a half-cylindrical piece and then glue two pieces of the same type together to form a cylinder, you can avoid the hassle of installing a separate siphon and reduce costs. Furthermore, by having schoolchildren do this assembly work, they can learn about the structure and function of a siphon, which is of great educational significance.

The plant cultivation container of the present invention provides an ideal environment for plants in gravel cultivation. Specifically, by simply pouring water, the container for cultivating plants provides sufficient moisture evenly to the medium, drains excess water, and releases the necessary water. This is an innovative product that can retain only moisture, wash away harmful substances, and prevent concentration disturbances without tilting the container, and can be used for home gardening, school teaching materials, and stores. For decoration, etc.
Its application range is wide.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claims] 1. An outflow port is located near the bottom of the container and communicates with the outside of the container, and an inflow port is located above the outflow port and communicates with the inside of the container, In a plant cultivation container equipped with a siphon whose uppermost edge is located below the upper edge of the container, the siphon is annularly protruded from the outer wall of the container to form a grip portion of the container. A plant cultivation container characterized by: 2. The plant cultivation container according to claim 1, wherein two gripping portions of the container formed by siphons are formed symmetrically on the side wall of the container.
