Planting device {PLANTING DEVICE}

The present invention includes a planting container having a reservoir capable of storing planting water, an absorbent planting floor material provided in the reservoir, and a water supply means for supplying the planting water to the reservoir. The present invention relates to a planting apparatus provided with an overflow pipe for draining planting water exceeding a predetermined height in the reservoir.

There is Patent Document 1 shown below as prior art document information related to this kind of planting device. In the planting apparatus recorded in this patent document 1, when planting water is supplied to the water storage part of a planting container by water supply means, such as a pump, planting water collects in a water storage part in the level which does not exceed the upper end of an overflow pipe.

Since the planting flooring material which is partially immersed in the gathered planting water sucks up the planting water, and maintains an appropriate amount of planting water inside, the plant planted in the planting flooring can be grown appropriately.

When the amount of planting water exceeding the absorption capacity of the planting flooring material is supplied or when the supply rate of the planting water by the water supply means exceeds the rate of absorption of the planting flooring material, the excess planting water is drained from the overflow pipe. .

In particular, when using a plurality of planting containers stacked up and down, the planting water drained from the overflow pipe is supplied as planting water to the planting container provided below, and the planting flooring material of all planting containers finally stacked is required amount. Absorbs planting water.

And the planting water drained from the overflow pipe of the planting container provided in the lowest stage is collect | recovered in a suitable water storage container, and can be used as next planting water for watering as needed.

Patent Document 1: Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2009-45015 (0021 Paragraph, FIG. 2)

However, in the most common usage, in order to sufficiently absorb the planting flooring material, a sufficient amount of planting water exceeding the absorption capacity of the planting flooring material is sometimes supplied to the reservoir of the planting container.

In such a case, in the planting apparatus recorded in patent document 1, there exists a possibility that the planting water exceeding a fixed amount may be left for a long time from the upper end of an overflow pipe, and when planting water is left for a long time, it might damage aesthetics. .

Therefore, the object of the present invention, in order to solve the problem of the planting apparatus according to the prior art exemplified above, even if the amount of planting water in excess of the absorption capacity of the planting flooring material is supplied to the reservoir of the planting container, An object of the present invention is to provide a planting apparatus in which a concern is suppressed.

The characteristic structure of the planting apparatus by this invention is

A food container having a water storage part capable of storing food water and a food storage space capable of mounting an absorbent food flooring material, and a water supply means for supplying food water to the water storage part,

An overflow pipe for draining planting water exceeding a predetermined height is provided in the reservoir.

The drain part provided with the drainage capability below the water supply rate of the said water supply means is provided in the bottom face of the said water storage part.

In the planting apparatus according to the above-described characteristic configuration, since the drain portion having a drainage capacity that is less than the water supply rate of the water supply means is formed on the bottom surface of the water storage portion, the planting flooring material is supplied to the planting floor material at the time when the water supply to the water storage portion by the water supply means is finished. The planting water remaining in the reservoir without being absorbed is drained by the drain.

Therefore, the planting water is not left for a long time in the reservoir, there is no fear that mold or the like is generated in the planting flooring material, or pests are generated in the planting water, and there is no harm to aesthetics.

In addition, since the drainage capacity of the drain portion is lower than the water supply rate of the water supply means, during the water supply to the water storage portion by the water supply means, the planting water is maintained at a suitable height in the water storage portion, so that the planting flooring material absorbs the planting water appropriately and repairs it. It can show the state of maintenance.

Another characteristic constitution of the present invention is that the drain pipe communicating with the overflow pipe is formed to protrude downward from the reservoir, and the drain portion is formed to communicate the bottom surface of the reservoir and the inner surface of the drain pipe. Is in point.

For example, in the case where the drain portion is formed at a position different from the installation position of the overflow pipe or the drain pipe, even if drainage of excess planting water is possible, the planting water entering the drain portion may be connected to the bottom surface of the reservoir. Since the lower surface of the bottom wall member to be formed is easy to move in the horizontal direction, problems such as soiling the lower surface of the bottom wall member due to the movement, or problems such as coming out from the boundary of the plant container stacked up and down. There is a risk of occurrence.

However, with this configuration, the planting water entering the drain portion first moves downward through the inner surface of the drain pipe protruding downward from the reservoir and falls from the lower end of the drain pipe, so that the plant material of the bottom The surface of the reservoir and the plant floor are reliably reached.

Moreover, with this structure, compared to the structure which the planting water which entered the drain part moves downward through the outer surface of the said drainage pipe, the planting water drained from the drain part of the lowest planting container by the hose etc. which were externally attached to the drainage pipe. It can be reliably recovered into a suitable tank.

Another characteristic configuration of the present invention resides in that the drain portion extends at an angle with respect to the vertical direction.

In this configuration, since the planting water drained downward from the drain portion by its own weight falls to a position displaced laterally from directly under the drain portion, as a result, the planting flooring material provided in the planting container below one end It is perfect to be watered.

Another characteristic structure of this invention is that the foreign material capture | acquisition convex part for trapping the foreign material contained in planting water is provided in the side of the said drain part.

In this configuration, even when foreign matters float on the surface of the planting water stored in the reservoir, or in the water or near the bottom surface of the reservoir, most of these foreign substances are trapped by the foreign substance trapping convex portions, so that the drain portion is It is not easily occluded by foreign matters, ensuring a normal drainage condition.

The foreign matter trapping convex portion 21d has a partial spherical shape which projects generally forward on the left and right sides of the drain portion 20f.

Since the drain portion 20f is generally extended in the front and rear horizontal direction so as to form an angle with respect to the vertical direction, most of the planting water W discharged from the drain portion 20f is basically a flat wall portion as it reaches the lower side. It falls while drawing the parabola spaced apart from the back direction from (10b), and reaches the water storage part 8 or the planting flooring material A other than the overflow pipe 10 of the planting container main body 1 located below.

In this embodiment, the rear bottom wall 3a extends obliquely downward from the lower end of the long side wall 4 toward the front, and toward the generally horizontal central bottom wall 3c from the lower end of the rear bottom wall 3a. An intermediate longitudinal wall 3d is provided which generally extends parallel to the long side wall 4. The drain portion 20f is disposed at a level near the middle of the middle vertical wall 3d in the vertical direction.
