Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Industrial Application Field" This invention relates to a flower pot that can adjust soil moisture in the flower pot.

``Prior art'' As shown in Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-50246, conventional flower pots were able to self-sufficient by capillary action into the soil of the flower pot, and by simultaneously or alternately using two thin strips of hydrophilic string. Although self-sufficiency adjustment in three stages was possible, stepless adjustment could not be easily performed.

``Problems to be solved by the invention'' The purpose of this invention is to easily and steplessly adjust the amount of water supplied to self-irrigating flower pots.

``Means for solving the problem'' This proposal involves drilling multiple holes in the side of a short cylinder made of synthetic resin, filling the inside of the short cylinder with a hydrophilic material, and attaching a hydrophilic string that passes through the holes. The short cylinder is placed inside and outside the side of the short cylinder, and the short cylinder is rotatably inserted into the outer cylinder, the head of the short cylinder is engaged with the upper end of the outer cylinder, and a scale is marked on the engaging part. A long hole in the longitudinal direction of the outer cylinder is formed on both sides of the outer cylinder, and a water-absorbing hydrophilic string connected to the above-mentioned hydrophilic material is hung below the outer cylinder, and the outer cylinder is placed inside the pot. The present invention is characterized by a flowerpot having the above-mentioned water-absorbing hydrophilic string suspended within an aquarium that supports the pot.

"Function" Therefore, when the engagement part and the scale between the upper end of the outer cylinder and the head of the short cylinder are exposed above the soil, and the scale on the head is aligned with the scale on the outer cylinder side, the through hole is penetrated. The hydrophilic strings placed on both sides of the short tube sink into the outer tube, and the head
When rotated once to match another scale, the hydrophilic string is fully exposed at the center of the elongated holes on both sides of the outer cylinder, and by rotating the head, the hydrophilic string is moved steplessly from the elongated hole into the outer cylinder. can be entered into. The water-absorbing hydrophilic string absorbs water in the aquarium and can be supplied into the soil from the hydrophilic string through the hydrophilic material in the short tube by capillary action.

"Example" In this case, a plurality of through holes 2 are horizontally bored on both sides of a short cylinder 1 made of synthetic resin, and the inside of the short cylinder 1 is filled with a hydrophilic material 3 such as a sponge or a bundle of hydrophilic strings. The hydrophilic strings 4 are passed through the through holes 2 and exposed alternately on both sides of the short tube 1 as shown in FIG. Insert freely. At the upper end of this outer cylinder 6 is a head 7 of the short cylinder 1.
The head 7 is provided with a red scale 8 at an opening angle of 90 degrees, and the outer cylinder 6 is provided with a blue or green scale 9 at a corresponding position. A water-absorbing hydrophilic string 10 is connected to the hydrophilic material 3 and is hung below the outer cylinder 6.
The outer tube 6 is placed inside the pot 11 as shown in FIG. 2, and the nylon water-absorbing hydrophilic string 10 is suspended within the water tank 12 that supports the pot 11. In the figure, 13 indicates a nylon cloth tube that covers the outer tube 6, 14 is a ventilation hole, 15 is a plant or ornamental plant, and 16 is a porous bottom of the flower pot 11. The water tank 12 may be formed in a white opaque color so that the water 17 does not easily spoil, and the level gauge 18 may be made transparent.

``Effect'' Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the water in the aquarium rises along the water-absorbing hydrophilic string and enters the hydrophilic material.
Water is naturally absorbed into the soil from the hydrophilic string, and by rotating the head according to the scale, the string can be rotated steplessly from the state shown in Figure 5 to the state shown in Figure 4. In the figure, the water is almost at a standstill, and in Figure 5, the water is fully supplied, and in between, the amount of water supplied can be adjusted steplessly as needed, so the head,
Plants grow by adjusting the water supply by repeating the rotation of the scale. Plants that require a lot of water are placed on the blue and red scales, and plants that do not require water are placed on the blue and red scales. When the time is right, the soil will turn blue and red if it contains moisture. Depending on the operation, it can be cultivated in dry or wet areas. For example, in an ordinary alley object, the points of contact between blue and blue and blue and red are changed repeatedly every day during spring and autumn. It is best to use blue and red during periods of long rain. When the weather is sunny in midsummer, the scale should be blue for 3 or 4 days, and if the soil contains moisture, the scale should be red for about a day, and then repeat. If you are away from home, you can safely go out for about a week to 10 days by matching blue to blue.
