[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown in the figure, a modular flower box with water storage and collection function according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a box body 1, and a support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the box body 1. The box 1 has a water storage cavity 3 inside, and an installation plate 5 is installed inside the water storage cavity 3. A placement groove 16 is provided at the top center of the installation plate 5. A planting pot 2 is installed inside the placement groove 16. Fixing plates 25 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the front and rear surfaces of the planting pot 2. An installation assembly is provided between the fixing plate 25, the installation plate 5, and the box 1. The installation assembly is used to install and disassemble the installation plate 5, the planting pot 2, and the box 1. The mounting plate 5 has through-type mounting grooves 9 at both the front and rear. A filter component is installed inside the mounting groove 9. The filter component is used to filter the water stored in the water storage chamber 3. A capillary water absorption component is installed between the placement groove 16 and the water storage chamber 3. The capillary water absorption component is used to irrigate the planting pot 2. During operation, the flower box is placed stably by the bottom of the support plate fitting against the flat ground. After the box 1 is placed stably, the plants to be planted are placed in the planting trough inside the planting pot 2. Water can be stored and collected through the water storage chamber 3 inside the box 1, and the plants in the planting pot 2 inside the planting trough 16 are irrigated through the capillary water absorption component. The soil at the bottom of the plant is automatically moistened, avoiding the problem of excessive manual irrigation. Then, the filter component can work with the water storage chamber 3 inside the box 1 to effectively filter and collect rainwater, and can give full play to the ecological benefits of rainwater resources. Meanwhile, the inner wall of the planting pot 2 adopts a composite sandwich structure of heat insulation layer and ultra-thin silicone rubber electric heating plate. Photovoltaic modules are fixedly installed on the box. The photovoltaic modules supply power to the silicone rubber electric heating plate, thereby achieving heat insulation and heat preservation for the potting soil and plant roots in the planting pot 2. Furthermore, a water-permeable and breathable protective lining can be fixedly laid at the bottom of the planting pot 2 and directly contact the planting soil without hindering the automatic wetting of the soil by the capillary water absorption components. The planting pot 2 is installed through the installation components and the installation plate 5. The installation components facilitate the installation and disassembly of the planting pot 2, the installation plate 5, and the box 1. The modular design of this flower box makes it easy to disassemble and install, which facilitates the replacement of green plants after the planting pot 2 is disassembled, and also facilitates the cleaning of the inside of the flower box and the maintenance of the components. Because the upper part of the water storage cavity 3 has a protruding support side, the bottom of the mounting plate 5 can be supported when it is installed inside the water storage cavity 3. It is also easy to install and fix it with the mounting components. This avoids the situation where the weight of the planting pot 2 cannot be supported after the mounting components are installed with the box 1. This makes the design of the water storage cavity 3 more reasonable. At the same time, the box 1 can be connected to the water outlet pipe (not shown in the figure), which is convenient to release water when the water storage cavity 3 is full, thus meeting more usage needs.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the capillary water absorption assembly includes a plurality of through holes opened in the lower surface of the placement groove 16. A water-absorbing cotton pad 7 is placed in the lower surface of the placement groove 16. A plurality of water-absorbing fiber strips 8 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the water-absorbing cotton pad 7. The bottom of the water-absorbing fiber strips 8 passes through the tube hole and extends into the water storage cavity 3. When in operation, if there is water inside the water storage chamber 3, the water-absorbing fiber strips 8 will absorb the water from the water storage chamber 3 using capillary action. The water-absorbing fiber strips 8 will transfer the water to the water-absorbing cotton pad 7, which can maintain a certain level of humidity, thus providing a continuous and stable water supply for the plants placed in the planting pot 2. This can prevent the plants from dying due to waterlogging caused by excessive watering, ensuring that the plants grow in a suitable humidity environment. At the same time, multiple water-absorbing fiber strips 8 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the water-absorbing cotton pad 7, which can evenly spread water to all parts of the water-absorbing cotton pad 7, thereby evenly providing water to the plants in the planting pot 2. This is conducive to the plant roots fully absorbing water and promoting healthy plant growth. Moreover, the setting of this capillary water absorption component means that the flower box does not need frequent manual watering within a certain period of time, saving manpower and water resources, and improving the convenience and practicality of the flower box.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the planting pot 2 has multiple cultivation troughs inside, and the lower surface of the cultivation troughs has through-holes 15 for water permeability. The bottom of the planting pot 2 is in contact with the top of the absorbent cotton pad 7. During operation, the multiple cultivation troughs allow the flower box to grow a variety of different plants at the same time, increasing the diversity and ornamental value of plant cultivation. The water permeability holes 15 on the lower surface of the cultivation troughs allow excess water to drain out, preventing water accumulation in the cultivation troughs and thus preventing the plant roots from rotting. When the bottom of the planting pot 2 is in contact with the top of the absorbent cotton pad 7, the water in the absorbent cotton pad 7 can permeate into the soil in the cultivation troughs through the water permeability holes 15, providing water for the plant roots. During plant growth, excess water flows into the placement trough 16 through the permeable holes 15, and then flows back into the water storage chamber 3 through the through holes on the lower surface of the placement trough 16 and the water-absorbing fiber strips 8, forming a water circulation system. This ensures that the plants can obtain enough water, avoids water waste, and improves the efficiency of water resource utilization.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the filter assembly includes a groove 11 formed on one side of the mounting groove 9, and a slot formed on the other side of the mounting groove 9. A mounting frame 10 is provided between the slot and the groove 11, and a filter screen 6 is fixedly connected inside the mounting frame 10. During operation, when rainwater enters the water storage chamber 3, it first passes through the filter screen 6 inside the mounting frame 10. The filter screen 6 can effectively filter impurities and leaves in the rainwater, preventing these impurities from entering the bottom of the water storage chamber 3, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the water inside the water storage chamber 3. At the same time, this filter assembly can also reduce the accumulation of dirt inside the water storage chamber 3, reducing the frequency and difficulty of cleaning and maintaining the water storage chamber 3.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, through-hole mounting holes 23 are provided on both the left and right sides of the slot. A rotating rod 19 is rotatably connected to the mounting hole 23 through a bearing. A through hole 32 is provided inside the rotating rod 19. A receiving groove 18 is provided on one side of the through hole 32. A limiting component is provided between the through hole 32, the receiving groove 18 and the mounting frame 10. During operation, the mounting frame 10 and the filter screen 6 are inclinedly arranged between the slot and the groove 11. The mounting frame 10 is installed with the rotating rod 19 inside the mounting plate 5 through the limiting component. Therefore, when rainwater impacts the filter screen 6, the filter screen 6 and the mounting frame 10 can vibrate inside the mounting plate 5 through the rotating rod 19. This facilitates the impurities filtered on the filter screen 6 to fall downwards along the inclined filter screen 6, and avoids impurities clogging the filter screen and affecting the filtration effect. At the same time, the limiting component will also work after the mounting plate 5 is removed, so that the mounting frame 10 can be disassembled from the mounting plate 5, thereby improving the convenience of installing and disassembling the filter assembly and making the replacement and maintenance of the filter screen 6 more efficient.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a groove 12 is provided on the lower surface of the groove 11. A sliding plate 14 is slidably connected inside the groove 12. A spring 13 is fixedly connected between the bottom of the sliding plate 14 and the lower surface of the groove 12. The upper surface of the sliding plate 14 extends into the groove 11 and fits against the bottom of the mounting frame 10. During operation, the sliding plate 14 and the bottom of the mounting frame 10, located inside the groove 11, block impurities falling into the groove 11 and prevent impurities from falling into the lower part of the water storage chamber 3 through the groove 11 during the vibration of the mounting frame 10. At the same time, the sliding plate 14 is slidably connected to the groove 12 through the spring. Therefore, when the mounting frame 10 and the filter screen 6 are subjected to impact and rotation, the sliding plate 14 will be pushed downward to squeeze the spring 13. Then, the rebound force of the spring 13 facilitates the reset of the mounting frame 10 and the filter screen 6. This also allows the mounting frame 10 and the filter screen 6 to vibrate under the impact of rainwater and prevents the side of the mounting frame 10 located inside the groove 11 from detaching from the groove 11 and causing filtration failure.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the limiting component includes an insert 17 slidably connected inside the storage groove 18. A spring 21 is fixedly connected between the insert 17 and the through hole 32. A pressing rod 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the insert 17. One end of the pressing rod 20 passes through the spring 21 and is fixedly connected to a pressing block 22. Slots 24 are provided on both the left and right sides of the mounting frame 10 inside the groove. The other side of the insert 17 is inserted into the slot 24. During operation, when the mounting plate 5 is stably installed inside the housing 1... When the extrusion block 22 is inside the water storage chamber 3, it is squeezed by the inner wall of the water storage chamber 3. When the extrusion block 22 is squeezed into the through hole 32, it drives the extrusion rod 20 and the insertion block 17 to be inserted into the slot 24. When the extrusion rod 20 moves, the spring 21 is stretched and has a rebound force. Then, the insertion block 17 is inserted into the slot 24 so that the mounting frame 10 and the rotating rod 19 are limited and installed. The mounting frame 10 can vibrate inside the mounting plate 5 through the rotating rod 19, and the mounting frame 10 and the mounting plate 5 are also installed firmly. After the mounting plate 5 is removed from the water storage chamber 3, the squeezing block 22 is released from the squeezing. Then, the squeezing block 22 and the squeezing rod 20 are moved out of the rotating rod 19 by the rebound force of the spring 21. The movement of the squeezing rod 20 drives the insert block 17 to move out of the slot 24. Then, the mounting frame 10 is released from the limiting installation of the rotating rod 19, so that the limiting between the mounting frame 10 and the mounting plate 5 disappears. Then, the mounting frame 10 inside the mounting plate 5 can be taken out for disassembly, which also facilitates the disassembly and cleaning of the filter screen 6.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the outer surface of the extrusion block 22 is set in an arc shape, and the outer surface of the extrusion block 22 is in contact with the inner wall of the water storage cavity 3. The vertical cross-section of the receiving groove 18 and the insertion block 17 are both set in a rectangular shape. During operation, the outer surface of the extrusion block 22 is set in an arc shape to facilitate extrusion. When the mounting plate 5 is installed inside the water storage cavity 3, the extrusion block 22 is easily extruded to drive the insertion block 17 to be inserted into the slot 24. This facilitates the installation of the mounting frame 10 and the filter screen 6 inside the mounting plate 5. At the same time, the rectangular insertion block 17 is inserted into the slot 24 to limit the installation frame 10 and the rotating rod 19. The mounting frame 10 can be rotated by the rotating rod 19, which is beneficial to the vibration of the mounting frame 10 and the filter screen 6.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mounting assembly includes two through slots 31 respectively opened on the left and right sides inside the mounting plate 5. Fasteners 4 are inserted through the box 1 at the corresponding positions of the slots. One end of the fasteners 4 extends to the outside of the box 1 and the other end extends into the through slots 31 and is detachably connected to the through slots 31. A plug-in assembly is provided between the through slots 31 and the fixing plate 25. During operation, the fastener 4 can extend into the water storage cavity 3 inside the housing 1 and be detachably connected to the mounting plate 5. The fastener 4 is connected to the mounting plate 5 by fastening bolts, which makes it easy to install and remove the mounting plate 5 from the housing 1. At the same time, the threaded connection between the fastener 4 and the mounting plate 5 allows the plug-in component inside the through groove 31 to plug into and limit the fixing plate 25 on the side of the planting pot 2. This allows the planting pot 2 to be fixedly installed with the mounting plate 5 when the mounting plate 5 is fixedly installed with the housing 1. It also facilitates the modular installation of the planting pot 2 with the mounting plate 5 and the housing 1, and facilitates the disassembly and cleaning of the mounting plate 5 and the planting pot 2, as well as the cleaning and maintenance of the housing 1.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the plug-in assembly includes a slider 28 slidably connected inside the through groove 31, a fixing ring 33 fixedly connected inside the through groove 31, a spring 30 fixedly connected between the fixing ring 33 and the slider 28, a connecting rod 29 passing through the fixing ring 33, one end of the connecting rod 29 passing through the spring 30 and fixedly connected to the slider 28, and the other end of the connecting rod 29 fixedly connected to a limiting rod 34, one end of the limiting rod 34 being in contact with a fastener 4, a plug rod 27 fixedly connected to one side of the slider 28, and a plug hole 26 opened on one side of the fixing plate 25 corresponding to the through groove 31, with one end of the plug rod 27 inserted into the plug hole 26; During operation, when the fastener 4 is screwed into the through groove 31, its end will press the limiting rod 34, causing the limiting rod 34 to move the connecting rod 29. The connecting rod 29 then drives the slider 28 to slide in the through groove 31. The slider 28 stretches the spring 30 to produce elastic deformation. As the slider 28 slides, the insertion rod 27 will be inserted into the insertion hole 26 on the fixing plate 25, thereby realizing the fixed connection between the planting pot 2 and the mounting plate 5. This connection method makes the installation of the planting pot 2 on the mounting plate 5 and the box 1 more stable, ensuring the stability of the flower box structure. When it is necessary to disassemble the planting pot 2, simply unscrew the fastener 4 from the through slot 31. At this time, the elastic deformation of the spring 30 is restored, and the spring 30 pushes the slider 28 to slide in the opposite direction. The slider 28 drives the insertion rod 27 to be pulled out from the insertion hole 26, releasing the limit on the fixing plate 25. The planting pot 2 can then be easily removed from the mounting plate 5. This detachable connection method not only facilitates the replacement of green plants and cleaning of the planting pot 2, but also allows for the quick separation of the planting pot 2, mounting plate 5 and box 1 when the flower box malfunctions or needs maintenance, thus improving maintenance efficiency.

[0033] Working principle: During the operation of the flower box, it is firmly placed by the support plate. When rainwater comes, the filter component first plays its role. When rainwater enters the water storage chamber 3, the filter screen 6 of the filter component takes the lead. It can effectively block impurities and leaves, ensuring that the water entering the water storage chamber 3 is relatively clean. The mounting frame 10 and the filter screen 6 are set at an angle and are connected to the rotating rod 19 through the limiting component. The impact of the rainwater causes the filter screen 6 and the mounting frame 10 to vibrate in the mounting plate 5 with the help of the rotating rod 19, allowing the filtered impurities to slide down the inclined surface to prevent blockage. At the same time, the sliding plate 14, under the action of the spring 13, can not only block the impurities falling into the groove 11, but also help the mounting frame 10 and the filter screen 6 to return to their original position, ensuring the filtration effect. When water enters the water storage chamber 3, the capillary water absorption component starts to work. The water-absorbing fiber strips 8 use capillary action to absorb the water in the water storage chamber 3 and transfer it to the water-absorbing cotton pad 7, keeping the water-absorbing cotton pad 7 moist and providing a stable water supply for the plants in the planting pot 2. Because multiple water-absorbing fiber strips 8 are evenly distributed, the water can be evenly diffused, promoting full absorption by the plant roots, avoiding excessive watering that could lead to plant death, and saving manpower and water resources. During plant growth, excess water in planting pot 2 is discharged through permeable hole 15, flows into placement trough 16, and then flows back to water storage chamber 3 through through hole and water-absorbing fiber strip 8, forming a water cycle and improving water resource utilization efficiency. The mounting components and plug-in components ensure the stable connection and convenient disassembly of the various parts of the flower box. The fastener 4 is threadedly connected to the mounting plate 5, making it easy to install and disassemble the mounting plate 5 and the box body 1. At the same time, it drives the plug-in components to work. When the fastener 4 is screwed into the through groove 31, it squeezes the limiting rod 34, causing the connecting rod 29 to drive the slider 28 to slide. The plug rod 27 is inserted into the insertion hole 26 of the fixing plate 25 to fix the planting pot 2 to the mounting plate 5. When disassembling, the fastener 4 is unscrewed, the spring 30 pushes the slider 28 to slide in the opposite direction, the plug rod 27 is pulled out, the limiting is released, and it is convenient to operate and maintain the planting pot 2. In addition, when the water storage chamber 3 is full, water can be released through the externally connected water outlet pipe to meet more usage needs. The entire flower box achieves functions such as water storage and collection, filtration, irrigation, and modular installation and disassembly through the coordinated work of various components. It provides a good growing environment for plants while also facilitating daily use and maintenance.
