[Industrial applications]

 The present invention is a flowerpot provided with a temperature-sensitive property capable of displaying the temperature and humidity of the soil in the flowerpot, the soil (soil), or the inside and outside air (which means the inside and outside air).

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Optimal temperature and humidity for growth or air are required for the roots of cultivated plants such as flowers and plants planted in flowerpots, and it is said that soil humidity and soil aeration rate are particularly important. . Therefore, flower pots with automatic irrigation, or flower pots with a composition in which a special material is mixed in the flower pot main body are scattered. For example, in the former case, there is an automatic water supply tank for actual cultivation of hydroponics of plants in No. 58-189 771, or an actual irrigation device for tabletop plant cultivation in No. 5-137468. In the latter case, the flower pots of Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-105463 and the flower pots of Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-207147 can be cited.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The flowerpots of various structures described above are required to actively or unilaterally supply water to the soil, air, or fertilizer. However, depending on the type of cultivated plant, the conditions are different, such as optimum dry soil or optimum wet soil. Therefore, it is clear that the optimal growth environment for the above-mentioned cultivated plants cannot be maintained and managed with the composition that positively or unilaterally supplies water and fertilizer (liquid fertilizer) as described above. Similar things can be considered under the conditions of temperature and humidity of inside and outside air.

In view of the above, the present invention aims to provide a flowerpot which aims at an optimum soil environment for cultivated plants, thereby promoting growth, quality improvement, cultivation knowledge improvement, and enjoyment of plant cultivation. And

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems and achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following configurations.

That is, the flowerpot provided with the moisture-sensitive property of the present invention is a flowerpot main body and a humidity-sensitive display means or a temperature-sensitive humidity display means made of cobalt chloride or a temperature / humidity sensing paint provided on the flowerpot main body. And means.

[0007]

[Action]

The operation of the present invention will be described below. In the present invention, since cobalt chloride (silica gel) is mixed into the flowerpot body or the cobalt chloride film is formed on the inner periphery (inner peripheral surface or near the inner peripheral surface), the humidity of soil in the flowerpot is reduced. , Can be grasped almost accurately. Then, preferably, the humidity condition can be grasped more easily and surely by displaying the color such as hue and color. Therefore, it is possible to provide the optimum soil environment for various cultivated plants, which is optimal for various cultivated plants and which can supply water, air, and fertilizers according to the manual. This makes it possible to enjoy the aforementioned growth promotion, quality improvement, cultivation knowledge improvement, and fun of cultivation.

In addition, in the configuration in which the cobalt chloride film is provided on the outer periphery (outer peripheral surface or in the vicinity of the outer peripheral surface) of the flowerpot main body, the inside and outside air is caught, the situation is grasped, and the approximate humidity of the soil in the flowerpot is estimated. To do. Based on this estimation, it is possible to grasp the water content and air condition of the soil and provide a favorable soil environment for the plant.

In addition, in the configuration in which the temperature / humidity display means composed of the temperature / humidity detection paint or the temperature / humidity detection paint film is provided directly or in the inner periphery of the flowerpot body, not only the humidity of the soil described above but also the temperature can be grasped, and It is possible to provide an extremely optimum soil environment for various cultivated plants. Especially, it is very preferable for experimental flower pots or grasping soil environment. In addition, the temperature and humidity sensing paint film on the outside can catch inside and outside air, and the same effect as above can be expected.

【Example】

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 is the main body of the flowerpot A, and 2 is a flowerpot material made of soil or other constituent material or a mixed material thereof. In the example of FIG. 1, the flowerpot A is formed by mixing the flowerpot material 2 with cobalt chloride 3 or the temperature / humidity sensing paint 4 as a humidity sensitive indicator. Further, in the example of FIG. 2, the flowerpot A is constructed by providing the cobalt chloride film 31 or the temperature / humidity sensing paint film 41 on the inner periphery 1a (inner peripheral surface or in the vicinity of the inner peripheral surface) of the flowerpot main body 1. In this example, it is not desirable that all of the flower pot A is transparent or translucent, or a part thereof is provided with a transparent or translucent portion. Desired (simply light transmissive). Further, in the example of FIG. 3, the flowerpot A is configured by providing the cobalt chloride film 31 or the temperature / humidity sensing paint film 41 on the inner and outer peripheries 1a and 1b of the flowerpot body 1. In addition, the example of FIG. 4 shows an example in which the humidity-sensitive instrument 6 or the temperature-sensitive humidity instrument 7 having a rod shape, a plate shape, or the like is provided (inserted) at an appropriate position in the soil 5 of the flowerpot body 1. It can be expected to be used as a so-called throw-away method. The configuration is, for example, a humidity sensor or a temperature / humidity sensor provided at the tip of a rod, and a display member or a numerical display member provided at the other end of the rod from each of these sensors, or the entire rod-shaped humidity sensor. A mechanism such as a configuration or a temperature and humidity sensor configuration may be considered.

Of course, an appropriate adhesive or an adhering means is adopted for mixing the cobalt chloride 3 and the temperature / humidity sensing paint 4 and forming the cobalt chloride film 31 and the temperature / humidity sensing paint film 41. Further, cobalt chloride 3 or the like may be provided in a part of the flowerpot main body 1 or may be configured to have a change (for example, a pattern, a character, a pattern or the like is displayed at the time of sensing). Similarly, the cobalt chloride film 31 and the like may be formed on a part of the inner and outer peripheries 1a and 1b of the flowerpot body 1. Further, in the present invention, the above-mentioned humidity-sensitive display means and temperature-humidity display means may be a numerical display. Further, in the present invention, the above-mentioned humidity-sensitive display means and temperature-sensitive humidity display means may be used as a guide for fertilizer replenishment.

[0012]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, since the humidity-sensitive display means or the temperature-sensitive humidity display means is provided in the flowerpot body and the humidity or temperature / humidity of the soil or the inside / outside air in the flowerpot can be visually recognized, the plant grown in the flowerpot It has the effect of ensuring the optimum moisture content, air presence or fertilizer environment. In addition, there is an effect that water can be supplied to various cultivated plants at an optimum time, and even an amateur can easily judge the standard of water or fertilizer supply. Furthermore, the effect of the present invention can be achieved without changing the atmosphere of a conventional flower pot, which is very useful.

Further, if the temperature-sensitive and humidity means is provided in the flower pot, the temperature and humidity of the soil or the inside and outside air can be displayed, and the soil management or the management such as the optimum cultivation control for various cultivated plants can be facilitated. It has the effect that certainty is achieved.
