Description

Flowerpot for plant cultivation {HYDROPONICS FLOWER PORT}

The present invention relates to a pot for plant cultivation, and more specifically, to maintain optimal moisture conditions in the soil when cultivating various plants using soil or processed soil and water, and to provide water and growth in a moisture supply container. It was invented to prevent inadvertent plant death by automatically replenishing necessary nutrients.

In general, hydroculture refers to growing plants without using soil.

This kind of hydroponic cultivation is not limited to growing with water only, but also requires a process of supplying essential nutrients. Nutrients are not only dissolved in water, but are also used as coarse-grained planting material (natural volcanic stone, artificial stone, etc.) called processed soil (hydroball). It not only supports plants by using orchids (orchids, gravel, sand, elvan stones, etc.), but also plays a role in adsorbing or releasing fertilizers.

There are many types of plants that are usually grown hydroponically, such as palm trees, rubber trees, and coffee trees. Clean agricultural products are also produced by supplying well-prepared nutrients such as vegetables and fruits.

On the other hand, pots for plant cultivation must be filled with culture soil in the cultivation container and artificially create an environment in which plants can grow well, and artificially creating an environment suitable for plant cultivation requires appropriateness of time, effort, and patience.

In particular, a lot of effort must be put into water management when growing plants. If plants are grown in pots that do not have the existing water storage function, if water management is neglected even a little during the summer when evaporation is most active, the plants may dry out or take a long time due to lack of moisture. There are frequent cases where carefully grown plants dry out and die when water is not supplied for a long period of time due to concerns over watering due to going out.

In addition, even if there is a function of water storage, ventilation is not properly secured, so it is impossible to restore the water level of the tree due to excessive moisture or root rot caused by the stored water, and in the end, there are many cases where the plant dies.

Therefore, there is a need for a plant cultivation pot that has both increased ventilation and a certain amount of water storage by improving the existing plant cultivation pot that has only drainage or emphasizes only low water storage capacity.

Taking this into consideration, Korea Public Utility Model No. 20-2015-0001091 proposes a 『Functional air water pot for plant cultivation with increased ventilation and a certain amount of water storage』.

However, the above-mentioned “Functional air water pot for plant cultivation with increased ventilation and constant water storage capacity” has perforated holes for ventilation in the up and down directions, making it difficult to introduce an external air flow, which ultimately causes plant roots to be damaged. There are shortcomings in terms of breathability, such as air not being able to enter deep inside the flower pot.

In addition, since the plant, processed soil, and water are all accommodated in one pot, there are inconveniences in handling and use, such as having to remove the entire plant and processed soil when washing the pot or changing water.

On the other hand, if the soil in the pot is left without moisture for a long time, the planted flower may die, so moisture supply management is very important. In the case of a personal residential space, it is important to regularly supply water and nutrients in a busy daily life. It is not an easy task, and even more so, if you are away from home for a long period of time, you may not be able to supply water to your plants.

Therefore, the demand for flower pots that can supply water to plants on their own even without management is increasing.

Previously, domestic utility model registration No. 20-0329598 disclosed a flower pot for environmental beautification.

In other words, the flowerpot for environmental beautification is provided with an absorption member that is placed within the support member and naturally absorbs the water in the reservoir toward the flowerpot through capillary action. The absorption member moves the water in the reservoir toward the flowerpot, thereby self-pollinating without the management of the manager. It was structured so that supply could be achieved.

However, the pot disclosed in the above-mentioned literature had a problem in that the moisture was not supplied from the top to the bottom of the pot, but rather from the bottom to the top, so the amount of moisture discharged through the bottom was greater than the amount absorbed into the roots of the plant. .

In addition, if the water in the water tank is insufficient, moisture cannot be supplied to the flower pot, so it is inconvenient to have the manager supply water to the water tank at regular intervals, and a lot of expense and manpower are required to maintain the flower pot. There was this.

Domestic public utility model No. 20-2015-0001091 Domestic registered utility model No. 20-0329598

Hereinafter, with reference to the attached drawings, the configuration of a water supply device for a flower pot according to the present invention will be described in detail according to embodiments.

As shown, the pot for plant cultivation is structured to create an optimal plant growth environment by smoothly supplying air and water to the plants, while also making it easy to handle and use, such as washing or water exchange.

For this purpose, the plant cultivation pot of the present invention includes an internal pot 100 that accommodates plants and processed soil.

The inner pot 100 is a cylindrical pot, and the inside is filled with processed soil that serves as a support base for plants, and plants can be planted in the processed soil filled in this way.

Here, the processed soil can be hydroball, sand, gravel, elvan stone, orchid stone, artificial stone, natural volcanic stone, etc., and can also be used by mixing them appropriately.

In the wall of this inner flower pot 100, a plurality of ventilation holes 101 for air in and out are formed along the entire circumferential surface, penetrating the thickness of the wall.

Accordingly, the air that enters through the outdoor air inlet 220 of the external flower pot 200, which will be described later, enters the inside of the inner flower pot 100 through a plurality of ventilation holes 101 and is accommodated in the inner flower pot 100. It can be supplied between processed soils.

Here, when assembling the inner flower pot 100 and the outer flower pot 200, that is, when the inner flower pot 100 is accommodated inside the outer flower pot 200, there is a space between the walls of the inner flower pot 100 and the outer flower pot 200. A gap can be formed, and the air coming from the outside air inlet 220 can enter the ventilation hole 101 through the gap thus formed.

In addition, a tunnel-shaped water storage portion 102 protruding upward is formed at the bottom of the inner flower pot 100 to accommodate water.

At this time, the water storage portion 102 can be molded in a form in which the bottom portion protrudes together to have an approximately trapezoidal cross-section with a certain width and height when molding the inner flower pot 100.

Accordingly, when the bottom of the inner flower pot 100 touches the inner bottom of the outer flower pot 200, a predetermined space is formed between the tunnel-shaped water storage portion 102 and the inner bottom of the outer flower pot 200. This can be created.

Therefore, a certain amount of water can be filled in the water storage unit 102 and maintained in a stored state, and at this time, the water contained in the water storage unit 102 flows through the water flow hole 103 to be described later. 100), enters and enters the soil, and can be used for plant growth.

In addition, a plurality of water flow holes 103 are formed at the bottom of the inner flower pot 100 as a means for smooth water flow between the water stored in the water storage portion 102 and the soil inside the inner flower pot. .

This water flow hole 103 can be formed in a structure that penetrates the bottom of the inner flower pot 100 and the walls on both sides of the water storage unit 102.

In particular, a tunnel-shaped water injection passage 110 is formed on the wall of the inner flower pot 100 as a means of supplying water to the water storage unit 102.

This water injection passage 110 has a concave arc-shaped cross-section from the outer surface of the wall of the inner flower pot 100 toward the inside and is formed in a structure that extends in the vertical direction over the entire length of the inner flower pot 100.

Accordingly, when water is injected through the water injection passage 110 that is open upward while the inner flower pot 100 is inserted into the outer flower pot 200, it flows downward and into the water storage portion 102. ) is filled on the inner bottom of the inner flower pot 100 and the outer flower pot 200, which includes the space created.

In addition, the plant cultivation pot of the present invention includes an external pot 200 capable of storing water while accommodating the internal pot 100.

The external flower pot 200 is a cylindrical flower pot having a volume capable of accommodating the inner flower pot 100, and the inner flower pot 100 can be inserted and coupled to the inside of the outer flower pot 200 at the same height.

In particular, the external flower pot 200 includes a structure that can effectively introduce external air into the inside of the flower pot.

For this purpose, an outdoor air inlet 220 is formed in the wall of the external flower pot 200 in the form of a slot that penetrates in a tangential direction with respect to the surface of the wall and is cut long in the vertical direction of the wall.

A plurality of such outdoor air inlets 220 may be arranged at regular intervals along the perimeter of the wall.

Accordingly, the external air flow induced along the wall of the external flower pot 200 flows into the inside of the external flower pot 200 through the outside air inlet 220 and the inside of the inner flower pot 100 through the ventilation hole 101. The outside air can be introduced in various directions through the plurality of outside air inlets 220 distributed around the entire circumference of the outside flower pot 200.

The air entering the inside of the flower pot through each outdoor air inlet 220 of the outer flower pot 200 smoothly penetrates deep into the inner flower pot 100 through the ventilation hole 101 to supply fresh air to the plant roots. It becomes possible.

For this function, a step 210 forming a ledge is formed on the wall of the external flower pot 200, and an external air inlet 220 continues and penetrates from the upper end of the step 210 to the lower end.

FIG. 7 shows the configuration of the step portion 210 at a position where the outside air inlet 220 is not pierced, and FIG. 8 shows the configuration of the step portion 210 at a position where the outside air inlet 220 is pierced. This is a cross-sectional view of the flower pot 200 and the inner flower pot 100 in an assembled state.

Figures 8 to 11 illustrate a configuration in which the degree of opening and closing of the outdoor air inlet 220 is controlled by control panels 120 integrally protruding from the internal flower pot 100.

That is, on the outside of the internal flower pot 100, control panels 120 are integrally formed to protrude in order to seal or open the outdoor air inlet 220 through each step 210.

Therefore, depending on the location of the internal flower pot 100, the control panel 120 seals the entrance of the external air inlet 220 as shown in FIG. 8 to completely block the inflow of external air or leakage of internal moisture to the outside. You can do it.

In addition, according to the manager's needs, the inner flower pot 100 is rotated from the outer flower pot 200 by an appropriate angle, so that the control panel 120 is away from the position of the outdoor air inlet 220 as shown in FIGS. 9 and 11, so that the outdoor air It is possible to introduce an appropriate amount of energy into the interior.

In this way, the amount of incoming air can be controlled by sealing or opening the entrance of the outdoor air inlet 220 with the control panel 120.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 10, the upper edge of the external flower pot 200 is marked at the position of the step 210 through which the outdoor air inlet 220 is drilled according to the position of the control panel 120 installed in the inner flower pot 100. It is desirable to display the scale 230 so that the manager can visually determine the degree of sealing or opening of the outdoor air inlet 220.

When the control panel 120 is moved to the position of the display scale 230 and positioned in a straight line, the entrance to the outside air inlet 220 is sealed with the control panel 120.

And, as shown in FIG. 10, when the control panel 120 is separated from the position of the display scale 230, a state in which external air can be introduced is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 14, in the flowerpot of the present invention, the inner flower pot 100 and the outer flower pot 200 are assembled inside and out, and a plant is planted in the soil filled in the inner flower pot 100, In addition, a certain amount of water is stored in the water storage unit 102 formed on the inner bottom of the flower pot.

Therefore, plants rooted in the soil can grow by absorbing water permeating the soil.

Meanwhile, in the water storage unit 102, a support pipe body 130 having a plurality of holes 131 drilled around the circumference is installed in an integrated manner, and a capillary member 140 is installed inside.

This capillary member 140 is in the form of a wick made of thread or fabric and is inserted into the support pipe body 130 through which holes 131 are drilled as shown in FIG. 6, and the lower end is filled with water inside the water storage unit 102. becomes locked in.

In addition, the soil filled in the inner pot 100 and the capillary member 140 are in direct contact with each other through a plurality of holes 131 drilled around the support pipe body 130, and the water storage unit 102 is formed by capillary action. ) can be naturally supplied to the soil.

The size and installed number of capillary members 30 inserted into the support pipe body 130 are designed to supply sufficient moisture to the soil, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 14, taking into account the capacity of the flower pot.

In this way, water from the water storage unit 102 is supplied to the soil filled in the inner pot 100 by itself due to capillary action caused by the capillary members 140, thereby maintaining optimal humidity in the soil.

In addition, since water is not supplied excessively, there is no need to provide a separate drainage hole in the external flower pot 200, so the interior can be kept clean and management is easy.

Meanwhile, the inner flower pot 100 is provided with a nutrient supply container 150 at a position substantially opposite to the water injection passage 110.

This nutrient supply container 150 is shaped like a container with an open top, and has several holes 151 passing through it, so that the core member 160 is inserted into the wick member 160 in a penetrating state.

The wick member 160 is in the form of a wick made of thread or fabric and is inserted into the holes 151 of the nutrient supply container 150, with a portion located inside the nutrient supply container 150 and the other end. is extended so as to be in contact with the soil filled in the inner pot 100.

Therefore, the liquid nutrient ingredients filled inside the nutrient supply container 150 can be naturally supplied to the soil through capillary action.

In addition, when the inside of the nutrient supply container 150 is filled with an absorbent member 170 made of sponge or cotton, the liquid nutrient component is maintained in an absorbed state and moisture is released only through the wick member 160 that is in contact with it. Ensure that it is supplied naturally.

In addition, by maintaining the state in which the absorption member 170 absorbs the nutrient component, the case where the nutrient may be excessively supplied through the gap between the holes 151 through which the core member 160 penetrates is prevented.

Therefore, it helps maintain optimal nutrient conditions by blocking the excessive supply of nutrients to the soil, and prevents expensive plants from dying due to lack of nutrients even when the manager is absent for a long time. You can.

And, since no administrator is required, it is economical and has excellent marketability.

Such plant cultivation pots, which are a combination of interior and exterior pots, can be installed indoors in buildings as well as on well-ventilated verandas and used for indoor air purification, humidity control, ornamental purposes, etc.

That is, in the shape of a container that accommodates plants and processed soil, a protrusion 310 protrudes upward from the bottom surface of the pot body 300, and at the same time, a guide groove is formed around the protrusion 310 for supplying external air into the inside of the pot. A plurality of holes (311) are dug and connected to the holes (312).

Additionally, support protrusions 313 are repeatedly formed on the bottom surface of the flowerpot body 300 to allow external air to flow in along the guide groove 311 while seated on the ground.

In addition, a plurality of concave grooves 320 are formed on the bottom surface of the flower pot body 300 to ensure that external air is sufficiently supplied to the inside of the protrusion 310.

Therefore, not only can the amount of soil filled in the pot be greatly reduced by the protrusion 310, but it is also possible to prevent the roots of the plant from rotting by allowing external air to be smoothly supplied inside.
