Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Industrial application field" This invention relates to a flowerpot equipped with a water supply device.

``Conventional technology'' In a flower pot equipped with a conventional water supply device, light rays enter the aquarium fitted at the bottom of the pot through the air holes, and the entered light rays are reflected on the inner surface of the aquarium, keeping the interior of the aquarium bright. It is. Therefore, from spring to autumn, photosynthesis occurs in combination with the water temperature from the outside air, causing sphagnum moss to grow in the aquarium and polluting the water quality.

Also, switching between watering and draining during the day and night should be done at dark. This switching is performed by rotating the spindle inside the water absorption cylinder in the forward and reverse directions, but since it is not visible at night, switching by rotating the spindle is inaccurate.

Another problem is that the drainage of the pot, which is most important for watering and draining, is poor in synthetic resin pots.

Furthermore, when supplying water into the aquarium, it is necessary to remove the pot from the aquarium, and there is a problem in that a place is required to place the removed pot.

``Problems that the invention aims to solve'' This invention promotes drainage of synthetic resin pots, prevents the water from contaminating the aquarium installed at the bottom of the pot, makes it easy to water and drain water even at night, and makes the flowerpot easy to water. The purpose is to obtain.

``Means for Solving the Problems'' In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention proposes a water absorbent pot made of synthetic resin that is removably fitted into the upper opening of the aquarium and has at least one vertically elongated hole. A cylinder is placed inside the pot, a spindle having a hydrophilic core is fitted into the water absorption cylinder so as to be rotatable in the forward and reverse directions, and the water absorption hole provided on the side surface of the spindle and the vertical hole are connected in the forward and reverse directions. In a water absorption device formed to be openable and closable by rotation, and in which a hydrophilic string connected to the hydrophilic core is suspended in the aquarium, the upper end opening of the aquarium is closed with the bottom of the pot, and a small A flowerpot with an air hole, a dark inner surface of the aquarium, a stopper to limit forward and reverse rotation of the top knob of the spindle, and a drainage aggregate mixed into the wall of the pot is a specific invention. Consisting of the flowerpot described in the above-described invention, which is equipped with a water supply tube connected to the base of a short tube with a closed end that can be inserted into the aquarium through a small air hole, and with a water supply port opened on the side surface of the tip of the short tube. It is something to do.

``Function'' Therefore, the soil is stored in the synthetic resin pot 1 and the water absorption cylinder 4 is placed.
Fill it up and plant 19 plants. Since the bottom of the pot 1 fits into the upper opening of the aquarium 2 to close it, the sunlight entering through the small air hole 9 is absorbed by the dark color 10 on the inner surface of the aquarium 2 and is annihilated inside the aquarium 2. is kept dark. The water 20 sucked from the hydrophilic cord 8 to the hydrophilic core 5 of the spindle 6 opens the water absorption hole 7 and the vertically long hole 3 when the upper end knob 11 is rotated in the positive direction to the limit stopper 12 (Fig. 5). (Fig. 7), and in the state of rotation to the limit stopper 12' in the opposite direction (Fig. 4), the water suction hole 7 and the longitudinal hole 3 are closed (Fig. 6). When both holes 3 and 7 are open, water percolates into the soil from the hydrophilic core 5 and is further discharged to the outside through minute gaps in the aggregate 14 of the wall board 13. When supplying water into the water tank 2, insert the closed end short pipe 15 into the small air hole 9 and
7 facing downward and water is supplied from the water supply tube 16, water is discharged from the side water supply port 17 of the short tube 15 toward the bottom of the water tank 2.

"Example" A through hole 1'' is made in the bottom plate 1' of a synthetic resin pot 1, and a net 21 is stretched over it. They are supported by being freely fitted together. Inside this pot 1, a water absorbing tube 4 with at least one vertically elongated hole 3 is arranged upright. Inside this water absorbing tube 4, a hydrophilic core 5 is placed.
A spindle 6 having
A plurality of water absorption holes 7 arranged vertically in parallel on the side surface of the spindle 6 and the vertically elongated hole 3 are supported so as to be openable and closable by the forward and reverse rotations. A hydrophilic string 8 connected to the hydrophilic core 5 is suspended into the aquarium 2 to form a water supply device for the pot 1.
The upper end opening of the aquarium 2 is closed at the bottom of the pot 1, and a plurality of small air holes 9 are opened in the closed part. This small air hole 9 can be formed on the upper edge of the aquarium 2 or the lower edge of the pot 1. The inner surface of the aquarium 2 is painted or colored in a dark color 10 such as black, green, or blue to keep the interior dark. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, an arcuate groove 22 is formed in the upper end knob 11 of the spindle 6, and a projection 23 is inserted into the groove 22.
and both ends of the groove 22 form forward and reverse rotation limit stoppers 12, 12'. The wall plate 13 of the pot 1 is made of a mixture of synthetic resin and drainage aggregate 14 made of sand, pumice powder, or the like.
In addition, a water supply tube 16 is connected to the base of a short end closed tube 15 having a diameter that can be inserted into the water tank 2 from the air hole 9, and the water supply tube 16 is connected to the bottom of the water supply tank 25 with a pot 24 interposed therebetween. A water supply pipe 18 with a water supply port 17 opened is provided on the side surface of the tip of the short pipe 15. In the figure, 26 indicates an exposed spindle, 27 indicates a hydrophilic string connected to the hydrophilic core of the spindle 26, 28 indicates a synthetic resin lifting piece connected to the tip of the string 27, and 29 indicates the water absorption hole 7 and the hydrophilic core. It is a hydrophilic string that connects to 5.

``Effects'' Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the synthetic resin pot 1 is placed on the upper opening of the aquarium 2, the aquarium 2 is closed, and the water in the aquarium 2 is removed by the water absorption tube 4 and the hydrophilic string 8. 20 into the pot 1,
The water 20 in the aquarium 2 is kept fresh without the generation of sphagnum moss etc. due to photosynthesis and is prevented from becoming contaminated, and even though the pot 1 is made of synthetic resin, it has good drainage, and the water absorption cylinder 4 There is the advantage that watering and draining operations can be easily performed at night.

Furthermore, when replenishing water into the aquarium 2, there is no need to remove the pot 1 from the aquarium 2, and water can be easily supplied, and the supplied water can be directed toward the bottom of the aquarium 2 without spewing out forward from the tip of the water supply pipe 18. Water can be supplied safely.
