Description
PLANT CONTAINER
Technical Field
The invention relates to plant container.
Technical Background
Currently, plant containers generally are sealed-bottom containers, open- bottom containers (having holes or grooves) or containers with holes or grooves on the surrounding surface. In the case of containers with holes or grooves, soil or water usually escapes under excessive watering, thereby making the soil dry up faster, resulting in a need for more frequent watering. In the case of sealed containers, water flooding the sealed container causes the rottening of plant roots and a shortage of air.
To overcome the above drawbacks, Patent for utility solutions No. VN 2- 0000603 has proposed a plant container (Figure 1) consisting of a container 1, the bottom half of which contains the positioning ribs 2 recessed vertically into the container and separated by a distance; two rows of drainage vents 3 also placed vertically but lower than the top of the positioning ribs 2; a top blocking plate 4 with drainage holes placed in container 1 ; a cloth sheet 5 entirely coating the blocking plate 4 being tied back therebeneath and let down to immerse in container 1. Watering should be done on the soil in the container top down until the water escapes through the drainage vents 3; seeds or plants shall be planted in container 1. As the blocking plate 4 has the cloth sheet 5 being tied back therebeneath and let down to immerse in container 1, water can be continuously supplied to the soil on the top of the blocking plate (the top half of container 1), and at the same time the drainage vents 3 enable air to be continuously supplied to the top half of container 1, thus ventilating the air in the container to supply air to plants.
However, during use, the applicant has found that the plant container still has the following drawbacks:
1. The fabric is inorganically- or organically-derived and always contains different types of chemicals, thus upon exposure to water as well as to the plant care liquids it is easily susceptible to such reactions as the production of
an oily film coating the fabric (biofilm) creating reservoirs, home to a variety of pathogenic bacteria to plants and highly susceptible to oxidation (decomposition decay) which then prevents water absorption, leading to insufficient supply and distribution of water to both soil and plant in the container, causing uneven growth, leading to plant death and this is also the cause for many difficulties and strains on both manpower and money during the plant care process.
2. It is impossible to regularly clean the water storage section due to a lack of treatment facilities, therefore after a period of time the water storage section will lose its storage capacity due to soil or substrates accumulated taking up space, thus causing strains on manpower in the container cleaning and plant care processes.
3. When the scale of production is expanded, the area of crop production becomes larger to meet the user's and livelihood's needs, causing difficulties and strains on manpower, time-comsuming and is therefore inefficient in the plant care process and plants may die because water in the container runs out or if the operator in charge forget to water even for a short period.
4. The two rows of drainage vents facilitate the invasion of certain organisms and insects and the plant container becomes a source of dissemination of diseases to humans, pets in the surrounding areas as well as to the plant itself (e.g., mosquitoes and larvae form nests and sources of dissemination of diseases).
5. It is extremely difficult and laborious to replace or treat the soil due to the narrow, limited space of the container.

In the place where the support pipes 3 are attached to the blocking plate 4, holes 4.1 are drilled of a size larger than the lower body part 5.1 but smaller than
the top head part 5.2 of the water absorption bar 5 such that the top head part 5.2 remains above the blocking plate 4, while the lower body part 5.1, smaller in size than the support pipe 3, can be integrated into these pipes. These holes 4.1 and water absorption bars 5 are arranged evenly with the appropriate number and spacing to provide enough and even water for the plant. Also, the water apsorption bars 5 can be tilted at an angle of up to a maximum of 30 degrees to facilitate the use in trapezoidal wall plant containers (with a tilt of the wall of about 30 degrees). Strap 10 is Fixed to the top surface of the blocking plate 4, with a band for grasping when the soil needs replacing, pointing upward and positioned higher than the mouth of the container to facilitate the unloading of the soil to treat or replace the soil.
In addition, the water supply, drainage and ventilation assembly is the same for each container and includes pairs of connecting tubes 8 with sealing lids 9 arranged at the sides of the container wall facing the directions so as to supply water in, drain out water and ventilate or supply and ventilation between the containers in the case multiple containers are connected. When the plant containers are not connected to one another, sealing lid 9 is fitted into connecting tube 8 by twist threads, however, this sealing lid had openings slit from the center to the edge of the lid to ensure ventilation and to prevent insects from penetrating the plant container. Valve 6 opens automatically to supply enough water for the container and the containers are connected together, when the water level reaches connecting tube 8, the valve will automatically close. The bottom container has one or more holes in the container wall just above the bottom surface to supply and drain out water and ventilate, when soil or substrates are accumulated on the bottom surface taking up space periodically the user opens the bottom discharge valve 7 by removing the valve body 7.1 or valve cap 7.2 to bring water, soil and substrates out and proactively clean the water storage section of the container when needed.
The second embodiment of the invention as shown in Figure 3, the plant container according to this embodiment comprising a top container 11 and a bottom container 12 which have similar shapes such that the top rim of the bottom container can fit snugly against the bottom rim of the top container, wherein the top container 1 1 includes a water supply for soil assembly comprising support
pipes 3 and water absorption bars 5. The support pipes are adorned with hole, groove 3.2 all around, fixed into place by joints 3.1 installed into grooves on the, bottom surface of the top container, to help support the bottom of that container strengthen when more soil or plants are added in. In the place where the support pipes 3 are attached to the bottom plate of the top container 1 1, holes are drilled of a size larger than the lower body part 5.1 of the water absorption bar but smaller than the top head part 5.2 of the water absorption bar such that the top head part 5.2 remains above the bottom plate, while the lower body part 5.1, smaller in size than the support pipe 3, can be integrated into these pipes. These holes and water absorption bars 5 are arranged evenly with the appropriate number and spacing to provide enough and even water for the plant. Also, the water apsorption bars 5 can be tilted at an angle of up to a maximum of 30 degrees to facilitate the use in trapezoidal wall plant containers (with a tilt of the container wall of about 30 degrees).

After feeding soil or substrates into the container, plant is planted and water is supplied from the water source or from other containers via connecting tube, water flows from connecting tubes 8 into the container. Now that the absorption bars with capillary in contact with water and capillary action occurs, capillary attraction will bring water up from the lower body part to the top head part of the absorption bars to distribute water adequately and evenly to each type of plant, the capillary system available in the soil which is exposed to conditions that provide more contact with the top head parts of the absorption bars will automatically lead to the capillary suction of water to all soil in the container and connected containers, thus providing sufficient water for plant use and better plant growth.
Effect of the invention
The plant container according to the invention will help to cut down the production costs such as those of water, energy, materials, fertilizers, plant
protection chemicals, etc. as well as manpower in plant care efforts thanks to the automatic water supply system that does not utilize energy, creating favorable conditions for soil replacement and cleaning of water storage sections of containers as needed. The connecting tubes 8 in the water supply tank are sealed by sealing lids 9 with slits on lid surfaces to simultaneously ensure the passing of air as well as prevent insects from invading and harming plant health and plant cleanliness; the water absorption bars 5 which work as replacement for the cloth previously used to guide the flow of water to supply to plants will help limit decay as well as the dissolution of inorganic and organic harmful substances from the cloth into the water, thus ensuring an adequate and even water supply for crops. In addition, the plant containers can be linked together through water pipes connecting the connecting tubes 8, forming a self-sufficient system of plant containers able to take care of its own, therefore, it will be much easier to expand the scale, the planting area as well as increase the yield and quality of crops.
