Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a siphon-type planting device, which enables planted plants to continuously absorb water through siphon action, thereby eliminating the inconvenience of daily watering. [Previous Technology]

[0002] Note: With rapid economic development and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people's requirements for their living and residential environment are also gradually increasing. In order to improve their living environment, they will further beautify and decorate their surroundings. Most people choose to grow potted plants indoors, which can beautify their living environment and purify the indoor air, thus improving the quality of their living and working environment. Usually, these plants are planted in various shaped flower pots and containers, but there are still many inconveniences in general potted plant cultivation.

[0003] When growing potted plants, watering is usually done manually at regular intervals. In hot weather, the plants may need to be watered multiple times a day, which takes a lot of time and effort. If the plants are forgotten or not watered in time due to being busy, the high temperature and lack of water may have an adverse effect on their growth, or even cause them to wither and die from dehydration.

[0004] Furthermore, since different types of plants have different water requirements, some plants require more water than others. When watering, it is usually impossible to accurately control the amount of water. If the amount of water is too little, it will not meet the water needs of the plant and may cause it to wither due to lack of water. If the amount of water is too much, it may also cause the plant to rot and other adverse effects.

[0005] In view of the inconvenience of watering and the difficulty in controlling the amount of water in conventional potted plant cultivation, the inventors conducted research and development on potted plant cultivation devices. Through continuous experiments and tests, they developed a siphon-type planting device. By using the siphon principle, the plant can continuously and automatically absorb the water it needs. This not only eliminates the hard work of watering at fixed times every day, but also provides the plant with the most appropriate amount of water. It is a new invention in the industry. [Summary of the Invention]

[0006] This invention relates to a siphon-type planting device, which includes at least a cultivation pot, a siphon element, and a water storage basin. The cultivation pot system has an internal space for holding cultivation soil to grow flowers or leafy vegetables; its top extends outwards with a locking edge for locking the cultivation pot to the top of the water storage basin; its bottom has a downward-facing receiving groove at its center for receiving the siphon element, and the bottom of the receiving groove has one or more through holes; a water-permeable non-woven fabric is laid on the bottom. The siphon element includes a box, an absorbent cotton block, a compressed non-woven fabric block, and a piece of water-permeable non-woven fabric, wherein the bottom of the box has one or more through holes. The water storage basin system is a container for storing water or nutrient solution, and its size is slightly larger than the cultivation pot. During assembly, first place the absorbent cotton block and the compressed non-woven fabric block into the box, and then cover the box with a water-permeable non-woven fabric to complete the assembly of the siphon element; then install the siphon element in the receiving groove of the cultivation pot, and lay a water-permeable non-woven fabric at the bottom of the cultivation pot to prevent the cultivation soil from falling into the receiving groove below; finally, place the cultivation pot into the water storage basin, and use the locking edge of the top of the cultivation pot to lock the cultivation pot into the water storage basin, wherein the siphon element in the receiving groove of the cultivation pot is attached to the bottom of the water storage basin.

[0007] When using this invention, an appropriate amount of nutrient solution or water is filled into the water storage basin. After the cultivation pot containing flowers or leafy vegetables is placed into the water storage basin and secured, the siphon element in the receiving groove of the cultivation pot is immersed in the nutrient solution or water in the water storage basin. The siphon element in the receiving groove at the bottom of the cultivation pot, along with its absorbent cotton block and compressed non-woven fabric block, siphons the nutrient solution or water upwards through the bottom perforation into the cultivation soil in the cultivation pot, allowing the plant roots to continuously absorb the nutrients and ensure the water and nutrients required for its growth. This eliminates the hassle of daily watering and can be used in general indoor environments, enhancing the interactive fun of parent-child life. It has considerable progressiveness.
