Description

A nursing system of the flowerpots by supplying water upward through wicks}

The present invention is an idea technology for a plant cultivation system that supplies moisture from the bottom up through the wick made of high hygroscopic fibers as a breakaway from the existing watering method in plant cultivation using a pot. In addition, in order to use the wick principle of sending water (humidity), the lower part and the upper part are jumped at a certain interval of height, and a certain amount of water is stored in the lower part, and the upper part is filled with soil with the wick assembled. Plants are planted At this time, the wick drooped in the upper portion is submerged in the water of the lower portion. Thus, the pots having the functions of upper and lower parts have been developed as a unitary body consisting of a single body and a detachable type that allows separation and assembly of the upper and lower parts. When it is made of brittle material such as glass in detachable flower pot, it prevents discomfort due to breakage during assembly, maintains solid assembly state, and connects couplings that function as a barrier of soil. It was designed to use. And in the case of pots made of opaque materials such as porcelain or metal, a water level recognition device was designed to easily check the water level in the bottom.

Until now, humankind has been producing flower pots in various shapes and forms with various materials (pottery, wood, plastic chemicals, glass, clay, metal, etc.) and arranging plants such as flowers in living spaces.

Existing flower pots are mostly cylindrical or inverted trapezoidal funnel-shaped cross-sections, and are managed on the base container so that the water provided above does not flow down to the indoor floor. Depending on the type of plant you need to water almost every day, and you will not find a plant that can live healthy without watering for more than a full time. And after returning from a long business trip or trip, in all likelihood the plant would dry up and die. It is also believed that existing pollen has been produced in a relatively large form in order to keep moisture inside the pot for a long time, and in some cases, small plants can be transplanted and managed in charcoal or stone. However, the pots of any shape, shape, and material must be watered from the top, so it was necessary to spend a lot of time and effort to manage healthy pots. This series of pollination efforts have continued for almost centuries.

The wick was used to light oil by sucking oil from a lamp. Recently, the horticulture has been used in planting vegetables using hygroscopicity and capillary phenomena of nonwoven fabrics, but they have not been developed and used for pollen.

The problem with conventional conventional flower pots is that the water flows to the floor because it is watered from above, and when it is grown indoors, the potted beds should be used at the same time. They often had to be watered frequently because they could not remain for a long time, and after long journeys they had to give up their favorite plants. In addition, due to the deterioration of the existing pot cultivation system, it has been difficult to cultivate precious plants for a long time, and it has been an obstacle to the development and quality of the pot.

In order to solve the above problems, the plant planted in the upper part of the plant by storing water in the lower part and supplying a certain amount of moisture stably to the soil in the upper part through the water wick without supplying water from the top of the pot It is a potted plant cultivation system that supplies water and nourishment to the plant and can satisfy the following main points: ① It can keep the potted plant healthy for a long time by supplying a certain amount of moisture stably. Depending on the type of plant, the amount of water required can be adjusted by adjusting the number of wicks and the cross-sectional area. ② It does not need to be watered every day and the water storage capacity of the lower part (outer part) can be adjusted so that there is no problem even if the water is not replenished for a long time (at least 15 days). If the inside of the lower part (external) is contaminated with scale due to long-term use, clean it and replace the water. ③ The water did not flow down at all so no separate pot holders were needed. ④ The lower part (external) is made of plastic, glass, crystal, etc., so that it is transparent or semi-transparent to check the water level and pollution level. In the case of porcelain or metal materials whose bottom is an opaque material, a water level recognition device or a water level check lake is installed to check the water level from the outside to check the water level. In the one-piece type, holes for water injection and cleaning were installed on the sides. In the separable type, the lower part and the upper part can be separated for water replenishment or cleaning. In view of the above, the present invention can be placed and managed in any place in the room, and can also be hanged on a hanging line in the form of a wall or a clothesline.

The most important thing in the present invention is to supply water from the bottom to the top using a wick, rather than pouring water from the top to the bottom, which is the conventional method of supplying water into the pot. The second is the introduction of the one-piece and detachable type pots that have the functions of upper and lower parts, and the concept of lower part that can be applied to conventional pots. have. As a related problem solving means, a conceptual diagram of an integral type, a conceptual diagram of a detachable type, and a conceptual diagram of application to an existing flower pot are designed. In addition, a water level recognition device was designed for checking the coupling of the upper and lower parts of the detachable pot and the quantity of water in the lower part which is opaque. Prototypes were produced and assembled by applying these key contents and related problem-solving measures, and the results were verified by experimentally cultivating plants in homes and offices from March to November 2007 to obtain satisfactory results.

In order to impart the characteristics of the present invention to the pots that are held and cultivated in the past, a subdivision (external) is produced and wicked with steel needles through holes in the bottom of the existing pots (without splitting or transplanting activities for planting wicks). After pulling up, it connected with the water stored in the bottom and applied the concept of this invention. In this way, we applied satisfactory results to the existing pots (cultivated for more than two months with water through the wick without giving any water from above).

The main effects that can be expected through the present invention ① to contribute to the popularization of planting pots by allowing anyone to easily pick up any place ② can enjoy healthy pots without careful management such as daily watering for a long period of time ③ from very small props Contributing to export and development of flower industry and flowerpot manufacturing industry by aiming at large size. ④ Since water can be supplied constantly through wick, the size of upper part can be smaller than the size of conventional flowerpot. The main effects of the invention are the contributions to the development of advanced pollen. As a side effect, it is possible to produce a small part that stores water, and to grow small fish or squid in the water being stored. Improvement of the inconveniences of existing pollen management, such as frequent watering, and also for the introduction of nutritional and bactericidal drugs, and also retained longer as a gift of potted flowers alive with roots when presenting And so on.

In order to select a suitable wick in connection with the present invention, as a result of testing on cotton, sponge, pulp nonwoven fabric, synthetic fiber nonwoven fabric, etc., it is judged that wicking treated synthetic synthetic nonwoven fabric is most suitable as the material of the wick. (The material used in the wick can continue to develop). On the other hand, cotton and pulp nonwovens were corroded and cut during 3 months of use. Moisture can be controlled by the cross-sectional area (width and number of wicks) of the synthetic fiber nonwoven fabric, and it is more effective when folded and sewn in order to increase the cross-sectional area.

In order to produce and secure pots having the functions of upper and lower parts, test pots were prepared by cutting PET bottles, which are containers of bottled water and beverages, and modifying them using heat. The pots were made in one piece and detachable. In addition, the existing planter has devised a bottom for supporting the wick function. The material of the pot can be plastic, glass, crystal, ceramic, metal, etc., and can be composed by mixing the upper and lower parts made of different materials.

After putting appropriate amount of soil in the upper part using the above-mentioned wick and upper and lower pots, planting oriental eggs, western eggs, pine, bamboo, roses, herbs, lilacs, etc. It is growing well.

The present invention is a new technology for changing the concept of pot planting, if anyone mass-produces and supplies potted plants having the functions of the lower part and the upper part in various designs, it will greatly contribute to the development of the flower industry worldwide.
