Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a potted plant irrigation device using a water-absorbing fabric that can reliably and easily provide a stable irrigation effect when irrigating potted plants.

Conventionally, this type of irrigation equipment for potted plants has been made by planting a cup with a lid, which is made of unglazed ceramic in the shape of an inverted cone and has a water outflow hole, into the soil of the flower pot, and then pouring water into the pot through a water suction pipe, called a water container. Devices that allow irrigation of the soil in a flower pot by connecting them in a continuous manner have the inconvenience of being difficult to use, such as being unable to use them without pouring enough water into the cup. In addition, the irrigation container and the water suction pipe filled with a filler that transports water by capillary action have problems such as making it difficult to move the flower pot.

Therefore, the present invention aims to automatically and stably irrigate the entire soil in a flower pot, and to provide constant moisture to the soil reliably and easily, while also making it possible to easily move the flower pot. This is the purpose.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 indicates a substantially hollow cylindrical irrigation container, and the irrigation container 1 is provided with an appropriate number of outflow holes 2 for draining water and the like.

Similarly, this outflow hole 2 is bored in the irrigation container 1 so that the capacity inside the irrigation container 1 above the outflow hole 2 at the uppermost position is larger than the capacity inside the water suction pipe 8, which will be described later.

Further, a connecting portion 3 is provided in a protruding manner at the upper part of the irrigation container 1.

In addition, a water-absorbent fabric B made by polymerizing a felt-like material 4 with good water retention and a cloth-like material 5 with good permeability is placed inside the irrigation container 1, and the water-absorbent fabric is such that the felt-like material 4 is on the outside. A irrigation tool A is formed by providing a protrusion 6 that projects B from the outflow hole 2 to the outside of the irrigation container 1.

Then, the irrigation tool A is planted in the soil 11 of the flowerpot 10 so that the connection part 3 is exposed above the surface of the soil 11 of the flowerpot 10, and one end of the water suction pipe 8 is connected to the connection part 3 in an inserted manner. , the other end is immersed in water 9 or the like stored in a water container 7 located below the irrigation tool A.

When the water-absorbing fabric B is placed inside the irrigation container 1, the water-absorbing fabric B may be filled into the irrigation container 1, or may be placed around the inner surface of the irrigation container 1.

Further, the water-absorbing fabric may be only the felt-like material 4 or only the cloth-like material 5.

Reference numeral 12 in the figure indicates plants.

The present invention is constructed as described above, and an example of its use will be explained below.
The soil 11 of the flower pot 10 is planted so that the connection part 3 is exposed above the surface of the soil 11, one end of the water suction pipe 8 is connected to the connection part 3 of the irrigation tool A in an inserted manner, and the other end is connected to the connection part 3 of the irrigation tool A. Set it by immersing it in water 9 or the like in the water container 7 placed lower.

Therefore, the flowerpot 1 has a substantially hollow columnar shape with an outflow hole 2.
A watering container 1 is formed in which a connecting portion 3 exposed above the surface of soil 11 of 0 is protruded from the upper part, and this irrigation container 1 is formed by polymerizing a felt-like material 4 and a cloth-like material 5. A watering tool A to be planted in the soil 11 of a flower pot 10 is formed by lining the water-absorbing fabric B and providing a protrusion 6 in which the water-absorbing fabric B projects from the outflow hole 2. A water suction pipe 8 is provided, one end of which is removably connected to the connection part 3, and the other end of which is immersed in water 9, etc. in a water container 7 located below the irrigation tool A. Since the capacity inside the irrigation container 1 above 2 is formed to be larger than the capacity inside the water absorption pipe B, it is possible to automatically and stably irrigate the entire soil 11 of the flower pot 10, and
Since it is possible to provide constant moisture to the soil 11 reliably and easily, it is optimal for growing plants 12 and the like, and irrigation work is extremely easy.

In particular, by providing the protrusion 6, water 9, etc. in the irrigation tool A can easily penetrate deep into the soil 11, eliminating the need to bury the irrigation tool A deep inside the soil 11, and A itself can be made more compact.

In addition, the connection part 3 allows the water suction pipe 8 to be freely connected to the irrigation tool A, making it possible to easily move the flower pot 10 to the sun or shade, and to water the soil 11 in the flower pot 10. can be easily interrupted or restarted.

By making the capacity in the irrigation container 1 above the outflow hole 2 at the top position larger than the capacity in the water suction pipe 8, the soil 11 in the flower pot 10 becomes dry and the water stored in the water absorbent fabric B is reduced. When water 9, etc. permeates into the soil 11, a negative pressure equal to the amount of water 9, etc. that permeates into the soil 11 is generated in the irrigation tool A, so even if the water suction pipe 8 is not filled with water 9, etc., irrigation Water 9, etc. in the water container 7 placed below the tool A can be automatically and continuously sucked up.

Since the felt-like material 4 and the cloth-like material 5 are polymerized to form the water-absorbing fabric B, the felt-like material 4 mainly stores water 9, etc., and the cloth-like material 5 stores this water 9 etc. in the soil. 11 and enables constant and smooth irrigation.

As explained above, according to the present invention, water etc. in the water container placed below can be automatically sucked up to provide constant moisture to the entire soil of the flower pot reliably and easily, and the irrigation equipment After setting one, it is only necessary to refill the water container with water, etc., which makes the irrigation work easier, and it is very useful for promoting the growth of plants 12. Furthermore, the structure is simple, so it is inexpensive. This has extremely beneficial effects in practical terms.
