Description

Flowerpot {FLOWERPOT}

The present invention relates to a pollen, and more particularly to a pollen to allow for an extended watering cycle.

As is well known, the pot is a bowl for planting plants, the bottom is provided with a through-hole so that water can be discharged and air is introduced. At the bottom of the pot is a drip tray for storing the water discharged through the through hole. The pollen is watered at regular intervals depending on the type of planted. Plants susceptible to root decay are filled with well-drained soil inside the pots and watered relatively frequently.

By the way, in such a conventional pollen, the watering cycle is short, so that the number of watering increases, which is cumbersome, and there is a problem that the plant dies when watering is not sufficient due to going out.

In addition, the conventional pollen has a problem that the weight is heavy and fragile, and the installation place is restricted.

In addition, the conventional flowerpot has a problem that its shape is uniform and the color is forged into and not compatible with the surroundings, which leads to limitations in installation.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a pollen capable of extending the watering cycle.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a pollen that is light in weight and free of breakage.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a potted plant with a long watering cycle and a light weight, so that the installation site is less restricted.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a pollen which can be easily installed to enable various combinations of plants.

The present invention, in order to achieve the object as described above, the outer cylinder formed with a receiving space therein; An inner cylinder in which a bottom portion of the outer cylinder is spaced apart from a bottom of the outer cylinder; It is disposed to extend downward to the bottom of the inner cylinder provides a pot including a; water supply for supplying the water of the outer cylinder to the inner cylinder.

Here, the water supply unit may be detachably coupled to the inner cylinder.

The water supply unit may be configured to be screwed to the inner cylinder.

The inner cylinder may be composed of a plurality.

It may further include a functional material supply unit disposed in the inner water of the outer cylinder to supply a functional material.

The outer cylinder may be configured to form a viewing window to observe the inside.

A decorative part may be formed on the outer surface of the outer cylinder.

The outer cylinder may be formed of a PET material.

The outer cylinder may be formed to have an inverted triangle cross-sectional shape.

It may be configured to further include a support for receiving and supporting the outer cylinder.

On the other hand, according to another field of the present invention, the outer cylinder is formed in the receiving space therein and formed to have a smaller cross-sectional area toward the lower side; An inner cylinder in which a bottom portion of the outer cylinder is spaced apart from a bottom of the outer cylinder; Pots are provided comprising a; a support for receiving and supporting the outer cylinder.

Here, it may be configured to further include a water supply unit disposed to extend downward in the bottom of the inner cylinder in the inner cylinder to supply the water in the inner cylinder to the inner cylinder.

It may be configured to further include a functional material supply unit is disposed in the inner water of the outer cylinder to supply the functional material.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to extend the watering cycle and to suppress the death of plants due to insufficient watering.

In addition, according to the present invention, by forming a flower pot made of a Piti material, the weight is light and there is no fear of breaking can enhance the user's convenience. In addition, it is possible to recycle, reducing waste emissions. In addition, the plant material of the Piti material of the present invention can form a thin thickness compared to the conventional potted plant can secure a wider receiving space when having the same outer diameter.

In addition, according to the present invention, the irrigation cycle is long and light in weight can be installed freely in various places without being tied to the installation site. That is, according to the present invention, as well as a flat horizontal surface, such as a table, it is easy to install to hang on the wall, ceiling, etc., it is possible to create a variety of atmosphere (environment) composition (production). In particular, when installed in a high place, even if the pot falls down, the weight is light, there is no fear of breaking, and there is no fear of serious damage to the human body can be installed with confidence.

In addition, according to the present invention, it is easy to install and / or move, it is possible to vary the combination of plants to enable a variety of atmosphere composition. That is, according to the present invention, a plurality of inner cylinders are provided inside the outer cylinder, so that each inner and outer cylinder can be freely moved in consideration of the type and color of the potted plant, that is, the type and color of plants planted in the inner cylinder and the surrounding outer cylinder. It is possible to create various environments in harmony with the surrounding environment.

In addition, according to the present invention, by configuring the outer cylinder to have an inverted triangle cross-sectional shape, it is possible to secure a larger water receiving space without increasing the size of the diameter compared to the normal (trapezoidal cross-sectional shape) of the same diameter.
