Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a flower pot assembled for growing plants, to which fastening members are fastened. [Background technology]

[0002] Flowerpots allow plants to grow in an appropriate environment. Currently, most flowerpots are made of plastic and have projections on the inside and outside of the pot that intersect with each other, with through-holes in the projections. These flowerpots allow air to flow through the through-holes, allow water flowing in from the outside to drain smoothly, and prevent the roots inside from entangling with each other.

[0003] The color of the flowerpot itself has a significant effect on root growth. For example, if the flowerpot is black, it will raise the internal temperature to over 40°C, destroying the protein in the roots. It will also dry out the soil, creating an environment that is not suitable for plant growth. In this way, black flowerpots inhibit root growth.

[0004] Currently, companies researching and developing flowerpots are actively developing flowerpots that solve the above-mentioned problems of black flowerpots. For example, companies are developing flowerpots that have a color with high light reflectance, i.e., white, but have protrusions on the inner and outer surfaces. However, white flowerpots cannot be manufactured from recycled materials, and they have a problem of high manufacturing costs. This causes a decrease in price competitiveness in the flowerpot market.

[0005] Currently, there is a need for a flowerpot that solves the problem of white flowerpots, i.e., the high manufacturing cost of the flowerpots, while exhibiting the advantages of white flowerpots, i.e., the advantage of allowing plant roots to grow well. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The present invention seeks to solve the problems that arise when the outer surface of a flower pot is black by forming the outer surface white and the inner surface black.

[0007] In addition, the present invention aims to solve the problem of conventional plate-shaped cases being unable to be transformed into various flowerpot shapes by making it possible to easily transform the case into a flowerpot through a member that is selectively attached to the internal / external protrusions, which are plate-shaped with a white outer surface and a black inner surface.

[0008] In addition, the present invention aims to solve problems that arise when the fastening members cannot be easily separated by making the first and second members easily separate through their geometric features when the case is deformed from a plate shape to a cylindrical shape. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The present invention provides a case that is formed in a plate shape of a plastic material including an outer protrusion having a white outer surface, protruding from the outer surface, and a through hole formed by cutting a portion thereof, and an inner protrusion having a black inner surface, protruding from the inner surface intersecting with the outer protrusion, and a through hole formed by cutting a portion thereof, and that is deformed into a cylindrical shape by joining one end and the other end; a third member formed in a disk shape and inserted into the inner surface of the cylindrical case when the case is deformed into a cylindrical shape; a first member having one side partially cut out and a disk-shaped first handle portion formed on the other side, the first handle portion having an insertion hole formed in the center; a second member having a second handle portion on the other side, the second handle portion having an inner diameter larger than the inner diameter of the first handle portion, and a first insertion protrusion formed in a direction perpendicular to the second handle portion; The first insertion protrusion is inserted into the insertion hole, and a coupling body is included in which the lower surface of the first handle portion is coupled to abut against the uppermost end surface of the through hole.

[0010] The first member is The insertion hole further includes an adhesion module formed on the inner surface to increase the adhesion of the second member inserted thereinto, The second member is The insert may include a first insert plate, a second insert plate perpendicular to the first insert plate, a plurality of tapered portions formed between the first insert plate and the second insert plate, and locking protrusions and receiving grooves formed on outer surfaces of the first insert plate and the second insert plate. Effect of the Invention

[0011] According to the present invention described above, the outer surface is formed in white to reflect ultraviolet rays and thermal infrared rays irradiated from the outside and suppress the temperature rise of the flowerpot. The inner surface is formed in black to use recycled materials and to prevent visible light from entering from the outside from being transmitted to the roots, thereby preventing the roots from drying out. Moreover, the outer surface of the case is formed in white and the inner surface is formed in black to suppress the overall temperature rise of the flowerpot, preventing the problem of water in the soil accelerating the rate of decay and the problem of mold growing in the soil.

[0012] In addition, the present invention allows the plate-shaped case to be easily transformed into a flowerpot through fastening members that are selectively coupled to internal and external protrusions formed on the plate-shaped case, thereby enabling the existing plate-shaped case to be transformed into various flowerpot shapes.

[0013] In addition, the present invention enables the first and second members to be easily separated via their geometric features when the case is deformed from a plate shape to a cylindrical shape, thereby enabling the fastening member to be easily separated. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0015] The advantages and features of the present invention, as well as the methods of achieving them, will become more apparent with reference to the following detailed description of the embodiments taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0016] However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below, and can be realized in various different forms. However, the embodiments are provided only to complete the disclosure of the present invention and to fully inform those skilled in the art of the present invention of the scope of the invention, and do not define the present invention. The present invention is defined only by the claims. Furthermore, the same reference numerals refer to the same elements throughout the specification.

[0017] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings illustrating a flowerpot to which a fastening member is fastened according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0018] However, in order to provide a concise and clear explanation of the present invention, the flowerpot and case to which the fastening members are fastened will first be described in detail with reference to Figures 1 to 5, and then the first to third members fastened to the case will be described in detail with reference to Figures 6 to 20.

[0019] Figure 1 is an oblique view showing the first to third members connected to a case in a flowerpot to which a fastening member according to an embodiment of the present invention is fastened, Figure 2 is a plan view of the case according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 is an enlarged oblique view of the case in a flowerpot to which a fastening member according to an embodiment of the present invention is fastened, Figure 4 is an oblique view showing the inner protrusions and outer protrusions of the case in the flowerpot to be fastened in Figure 3, and Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view of the inner protrusions, outer protrusions, and the case to which the inner protrusions and outer protrusions are connected.

[0020] The flowerpot to which the fastening member of the present invention is fastened has a case 400 with a white outer surface that reflects ultraviolet and infrared heat irradiated from the outside to suppress a rise in temperature of the flowerpot, and a black inner surface that prevents visible light from entering from the outside from reaching the roots, thereby preventing the roots from drying out.

[0021] The flowerpot to which such fastening members are fastened includes a case 400, a first member 100, a second member 200, and a third member 300 as components.

[0022] The components constituting the flowerpot to which the fastening members are fastened will be specifically described below.

[0023] The case 400 is made of a plastic material in which an outer protrusion 412 protruding from the outer surface and an inner protrusion 411 protruding from the inner surface are intersected. Here, the case 400 is formed in a structure in which one side is white and the other side is black. That is, it is manufactured by double injection, and one side can be formed in white and the other side in black.

[0024] The case 400 is formed in a plate shape as shown in FIG. 2, and can be deformed into a cylindrical shape as shown in FIG. 1. The black inner surface of the case can be extruded with recycled raw materials. Such a case 400 is formed into a cylindrical shape by combining one end 431 and the other end 432. Then, each inner surface protrusion 411 of the one end 431 and each inner surface protrusion 411 of the other end 432 may be assembled together, and each outer surface protrusion 412 of the one end 431 and each outer surface protrusion 412 of the other end 432 may be assembled together to form a cylindrical shape. In this case, the case 400 can be formed into a cylindrical shape as shown in FIG. 1, with one surface being the outer surface and the other surface being the inner surface.

[0025] In particular, the case 400 can be formed with a black upper surface and a white lower surface as shown in FIG. 4. Here, the lower surface can be the outer surface and the upper surface can be the inner surface. Such a case 400 can be formed into a flowerpot with the white surface being the outer surface and the black surface being the inner surface. As shown in FIG. 4, the white surface on which the inner surface protrusions 411 are formed and the black surface on which the outer surface protrusions 412 are formed can be attached in a process and formed with one member as shown in FIG. 3. The flowerpot formed in this way suppresses the overall temperature rise of the flowerpot, and prevents the problem of the water in the flowerpot spoiling and the problem of the soil growing mold. In addition, the black surface of the case 400 blocks visible light entering from the outside and prevents the visible light from being transmitted to the roots, thereby preventing the roots from drying out.

[0026] When a flowerpot is formed in such a case 400 that is entirely black, the temperature can be increased by an average of 5°C or less compared to when the flowerpot is formed in a case that is not black. Normally, when the internal temperature of a flowerpot rises to 40°C or more, the protein in the roots of the plant melts, adversely affecting plant growth. The case 400 of the present invention has a white outer surface that reflects light transmitted from the outside, preventing the internal temperature of the flowerpot from reaching 40°C.

[0027] The combined body 10 maintains the cylindrical shape when the first and second members are combined and the case 400 is transformed from a plate-like shape to a cylindrical shape. More specifically, the combined body 10 is inserted into the through-hole of the outer protrusion 412 at one end 431 and the through-hole 420 of the outer protrusion 412 at the other end 432, or into the through-hole of the inner protrusion at one end 431 and the through-hole of the inner protrusion at the other end, to prevent the cylindrically assembled case 400 from coming apart.

[0028] Hereinafter, with reference to Figs. 6 to 18, a description will be given of the first member, the second member, the combined body in which the first member and the second member are fastened, and the state in which the combined body is fastened to the case.

The first member 100 is inserted into the outer surface of the case 400 with the slits 123 inserted into the through-hole 420.

[0032] 8, the first member 100 of the second embodiment has a contact module 120-1 formed on the inner surface thereof to increase the contact force of the second member inserted into the insertion hole 111. Here, the contact modules 120-1 are formed on one side and the other side of the insertion hole 111 in FIG. 8 and can press the first insertion protrusion 220 of the second member 200 entering the insertion hole 111.

[0033] The second member 200 includes a first insertion protrusion 220, one side of which is inserted into the insertion hole 111, and a second handle portion 210 formed on the other side of the first insertion protrusion 220. Here, the second handle portion 210 is formed to be larger than the inner diameter of the first handle portion 110 of the first member 100, so that the entire second member 200 is not inserted into the first member 100.

[0034] The first insertion protrusion 220 of the second member 200 is inserted into the insertion hole 111 of the first member 100, and may further protrude a certain distance from the slit 132 after being inserted into the insertion hole 111. Here, the first member 100 is fixed to the through hole 420 by inserting one side into the through hole 420 and then inserting the second member 200 into the insertion hole 111, widening the slit 123.

[0035] In addition to the first embodiment, the second member 200 can be formed in various ways, such as a second embodiment as shown in Fig. 10 and a third embodiment as shown in Fig. 11. Therefore, the second and third embodiments are similar except for the shape of the second handle portion 210. Therefore, in order to make the description of the second members of the second and third embodiments concise and clear, the second members of the second and third embodiments will be described together.

[0036] The second member 200-1 of the second embodiment and the second member 200-2 of the third embodiment include a first insertion plate 221, a second insertion plate 222 perpendicularly intersecting the first insertion plate 221, a plurality of taper parts 240 formed between the first insertion plate 221 and the second insertion plate 222, and an insertion protrusion having a locking protrusion 231 and a receiving groove 232 formed on the outer surface of the first insertion plate 221 and the second insertion plate 222. Here, the first insertion plate 221 and the second insertion plate 222 are connected to each other and formed in an X-shape as shown in FIG. 8(c) and FIG. 9(c), forming first to fourth quadrants. The plurality of taper parts 230, 240 include an upper taper part 230 formed on the first insertion tube 221 and the second insertion plate 222, and a lower taper part 240 formed under the first insertion tube 221 and the second insertion plate 222. Here, the lower tapered portion 240 includes an edge groove 241 to allow it to be more firmly fastened to the first member of the second embodiment.

[0037] The upper tapered portion 230 and the lower tapered portion 240 are tapered and may be formed between the first and second quadrants, the second and third quadrants, the third and fourth quadrants, and the fourth and first quadrants, respectively. When the portions of the upper tapered portion and the lower tapered portion formed in the first to fourth quadrants are combined, they may be formed into a cone shape inclined downward with respect to the center line.

[0038] The first member of the first embodiment and the second member of the first embodiment can be combined to form a combined body 10 as shown in Figures 10 to 12. The first member of the second embodiment can be combined with the second member of the second embodiment or the second member of the third embodiment to form a combined body.

[0039] For convenience of explanation, the combined body will be described in this specification based on the combined body formed by combining the first member according to the first embodiment and the second member according to the first embodiment.

[0040] As shown in Figures 15 to 17, the first insertion protrusion 220 of the second member is inserted into the insertion hole 111, and the slit 123 of the first member 100 is widened so that the widened slit 123 and the multiple first protrusions 120 are widened, and the distance between the widened multiple first protrusions becomes wider than the inner diameter of the through hole 420, thereby fixing the combination 10 in the through hole 420.

[0041] As a result, as shown in Figures 18 and 19, the combination body 10 can fix one side end and the other side end so that the case 400 is maintained in a cylindrical shape by penetrating a specific through hole 420 formed by assembling the through hole of the outer protrusion 412 formed at one side end 431 and the through hole 420 of the outer protrusion 412 formed at the other side end 432.

[0042] Furthermore, a third member 300 is provided at the inner lower end of the cylindrical case.

[0043] FIG. 20 illustrates a third member coupled to a case according to an embodiment of the present invention.
