[0002] M ACETE WITH DRAINAGE, FOR IN TERIO R OUTER, WITH DEVICE OF AUTORRIEGO PO R CAPILARITY THAT SUPPLIES THE WATER FROM THE SURFACE OF THE MACETA TO THE FUND (FROM ABOVE TO DOWN)
[0003]
[0004] SECTOR OF THE TECHNIQUE
[0005] The invention is framed within the sector of the pots or planters with their own irrigation means by wicks that take water by capillarity, known as hidrojardineras.
[0006] More specifically, it is a new hydro-drainer that includes self-watering by capillary action from the surface to the bottom that can be placed indoors or outdoors since it has drainage and allows the filling of the tank directly and indirectly using rainwater or of irrigation. It also improves the water visualization system contained in the tank.
[0007]
[0008] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0009] The invention refers to the group of pots that incorporate wicks for self-watering by capillarity. These hidrojardineras, or pots for interiors that allow the autorriego of the plant avoid the frequent irrigation by means of the incorporation of a deposit that supplies to the plants through some wicks, practically all present / display a supply of the water of down to above, the wicks leave from the deposit to its surface that coincides with the bottom of the growing area.
[0010] The pots with current self-management present an inadequate functioning since the type of irrigation can repeatedly cause the putrefaction of the substrate and the roots of the plant in the lower strata in contact with the wicks by an excess of moisture. In addition, this type of irrigation from the bottom up causes accumulation of salts on the surface, which is often observed as a white layer, so if the type of irrigation is changed and the plant is irrigated by the surface, the You go out with the risk of killing the plants grown in it.
[0011] The planters with self-management with known wicks are not suitable for all types of plants since they have the problem that the substrate of the bottom layer in contact with the wicks and close to the tank is very humid and not very oxygenated, so it is not ideal for cultivation.
[0012] Another disadvantage of these hydro plants is that, most do not allow surface irrigation from top to bottom so they can hardly be placed outdoors, be watered in the usual way of pots that do not have self-watering or receive rain water , since it would aggravate the problem of the anoxic substrate due to excess moisture at the bottom of the substrate, that of the salts, and if the irrigation or rainfall were abundant, the entire substrate would be flooded. A problem that is not solved in the scarce hydro-drainage systems that, because they have drainage pores just above the reservoir, allow irrigation without flooding.
[0013] Likewise none of the known hydro-terraneers contemplates the indirect filling of the water container. Only the direct system is considered by means of a pipe, since the surface watering is hardly contemplated in this type of pots.
[0014] Another problem presented by the state of the art, is that almost all hydro plants have the same type of cotton wick for irrigation without evaluating that not all plants need the same amount of water supplied by the wicks and often the flow is administered in excess. Depending on the material that the wick is made of and the diameter of it, the water available to the plant will be different, so the cotton wick is not always ideal.
[0015] Another disadvantage is the design of these hydro-drainer in a body, so the vast majority are monoblocks, so the replacement of certain parts subject to wear and wear after prolonged use is very difficult, which requires the disposal of the set of the hidrojardinera. Very often it is observed that the indicator rod of the water level inside the tank has disappeared and it is impossible to know if it is full or empty.
[0016] Finally, another of the most frequent disadvantages is that the visualization system of the water level of the reservoir is a rod attached to a buoy that will emerge more or less to the surface through a tube depending on the amount of water and although effective it is also easily removable and is deceptive as it presents doubts to the user who often does not know what the red rod usually means.
[0017] EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION
[0018] The present invention provides remarkable novelty characteristics that allow a significant improvement of currently known self-watering pots.
[0019] This invention is constituted by a pot with drainage with a self-watering device by capillarity. The fact that both the pot and the device have drainage holes allows this hydro-drainer can be located both inside and outside as well as allowing surface waterings and rains.
[0020] The device of autorriego by capillarity with wicks constitutes a novelty against everything known until now. Its base configures the water container tank for self-supply to the plant. Being hollow in the place of coincidence with the main orifice of the pot, to make the explanation easier here described in the center, this tube in its upper part will have, near the lid, several holes that act as an overflow of the reservoir allowing in addition that the oxygenation of the waters of the same one takes place, essential circulation but not essential, since it will also enter air by the filling tube.
[0021] The cover of this tank will have two holes at the edges, one for the water level indicator tube of the container extended to the bottom of the tank with a pored tube and the other for the direct filling tube of the tank. The lid will be built on two platforms at different levels, one at a lower level that incorporates holes with microfilters that will allow the indirect filling of the tank with the passage of filtered water. Therefore we have a novelty that no other known hydro-drainage plant incorporates, the possibility of filling the water tank by two different ways: the direct filling by a pipe or indirectly through the microfilters.
[0022] The great novelty of this pot is the type of self-management from top to bottom. Practically all known hydro-drainage systems have a supply of water from the bottom to the top, which presents an inadequate functioning of them since there is repeatedly excess water in the bottom that can cause problems. This invention solves it, it takes in the highest level of the lid of the deposit impermeable tubes by which they will raise the wicks until almost the surface of the pot to leave and lower until the bottom of the same one so that the irrigation always takes place from top to bottom, from the surface to the bottom. Resembling it in the advantages to the pots without self-administration but with the advantages of the latter.
[0023] In addition, these waterproof tubes have the peculiarity of ending in a conical shape that can be cut to fit the size of the wicks, this allows you to use cords or wicks of different diameter and materials to ensure the best self-watering of the plants it will contain. For example, the use of braided rope of propylene allows lower water flows than the exclusive use of classic cotton wicks with the advantage that they are also more durable, this also provides some ability to control the amount of water flow that is supplied through the wicks in the self-watering and make this type of pots susceptible to use for almost all types of plants.
[0024] The level indicator allows the user to know in a visual and simple way the water content of the tank. A rigid transparent tube in its upper part that carries in its interior a floating buoy attached to a rod that ends in a hollow blue tube and ends in a cap that incorporates in its center a small red tube that is inserted on the blue tube so that at the maximum level of water only the blue tube is seen since the red tube will be completely invisible inside it and as the water goes down the red tube will be visualized. The user easily distinguishes full tank color blue, in front of empty red color.

[0035] PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
[0036] As can be seen in Figure 1, this invention is constituted by a pot (1) with one or more drainage holes (16), one of them central (16) that is coupled with the drain of the self-watering device (14) , figures 1, 2 and 3, which allows this hydro-garden can be located both inside and outside as well as allowing waterings and rains.
[0037] Inside it incorporates a self-watering device by capillarity with wicks (9, 17), figures 1,2, 3 and 4, which is a novelty compared to everything known so far. This device consists of a hollow deposit (19) in the center (15) coinciding with the central hole of the pot (16) to allow the drain water of the device and the pot to exit, this hollow cavity ends in several holes in its upper part (13) that will allow the deposit to drain when it is full.
[0038] The lid of this tank (20, 21 and 22), figures 1, 2, 3 and 5, on the edges has two large holes incorporated one for the direct filling tube of the tank (24) and the other for the indicator tube of water level of the container (7) this tube is extended to the bottom of the tank with a pored tube (11). This cover is built on two platforms at different levels (20, 21, 22), the lowest level of the cover (21) are holes (23) with microfilters (25) in its lower part that allow indirect filling of the tank with the passage of filtered water without solid substances. Therefore we have the novelty of a tank that allows a direct filling by a tube or indirect through the microfilters.
[0039] The highest platform of the lid (22) will have a central hole (14) connected with a small tube in its lower part (14) so that it can be introduced loosely inside the hollow part of the tank (15) and allow the drainage of the water from the substrate. This platform will consist of holes for inserting waterproof pipes (6) through which the wicks will rise (17, 9), so the wicks enter the tank (17) and go up the waterproof pipes to almost the surface of the flowerpot. Exit and lower to the bottom of it (9) allowing an irrigation from top to bottom, from the surface to the bottom. Solving the problem of the known hydro-terraneers with a water supply from bottom to top. In addition, these waterproof tubes (6) have the peculiarity of ending in a conical shape (5). This allows them to be cut to size by using cords or wicks of different materials and diameters to ensure the best self-reworking of the plants.
[0040] The visualization system of the water level is simple and very visual, figures 1,2,3 and 6, a rigid transparent tube, at least, in its upper part (7) that ends in a stopper (2) that carries in its center a small red tube (3) and inside it a floating buoy (12) attached to a rod (8) that ends in a hollow blue tube (4), on this blue tube the tube of the plug is inserted so that the maximum Water level only the blue tube is seen since the red tube will be completely inside and as the water goes down the red tube is seen, figure 6.
