Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ecological planting box technology, specifically to a riverside landscape greening ecological planting box. Background Technology
[0002] Riverside landscapes generally refer to the edge areas of urban public green spaces constructed along the land bordering a river, possessing both strong aesthetic appeal and functional benefits. Waterways nurture cities and urban culture, becoming a crucial factor in urban development. Creating riverside urban landscapes requires planting ornamental plants along the riverbanks, necessitating the use of ecological planting boxes.
[0003] The patent publication number "CN222128808U" describes a "riverside landscape greening ecological planting box." By installing a support plate, positioning plate, and locking blocks at the water storage tank, along with a fixing plate and driving mechanism, the floating plate can be quickly disassembled. Multiple progressively longer support columns are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the box's interior, and with the help of locking sleeves and limiting mechanisms, the locking sleeves and support columns can be positioned and released, allowing for quick connection and separation of the planting frame. This enables rapid and convenient assembly and disassembly of the floating plate and planting frame, resulting in simple, fast, efficient, and stable operation, significantly improving the device's effectiveness. However, the water circulation structure is directly positioned above the plant planting area, which may affect plant planting and growth. Furthermore, the spray water supply structure is directly exposed above the plants in the planting box, which also detracts from the aesthetics. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a riverside landscape greening ecological planting box to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the technology.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a riverside landscape greening ecological planting box, comprising:
[0006] The planting box has a perforated plate fixedly installed inside. The top of the perforated plate has a sand and gravel layer, the top of the sand and gravel layer has a geotextile filter layer, and the top of the geotextile filter layer has multiple fixed partitions. The front and rear ends of the fixed partitions are fixedly connected to the front and rear walls of the planting box, respectively. The multiple fixed partitions divide the inside of the planting box into multiple planting cavities, and the planting cavities contain substrate soil.
[0007] Multiple sets of inclined hollow water-filling plates are respectively installed at the top of multiple planting chambers. Each set of inclined hollow water-filling plates consists of two symmetrical plates. The inclined hollow water-filling plates are located at the top of a fixed partition. The front and rear ends of the inclined hollow water-filling plates are fixedly connected to the front and rear walls of the planting box, respectively. The inclined surface of the inclined hollow water-filling plates faces the substrate soil inside the planting chamber. Multiple drainage holes are opened on the inclined surface of the inclined hollow water-filling plates. Filter screens are fixedly installed on the inner walls of the drainage holes. A water pumping mechanism is connected to the front end of the multiple inclined hollow water-filling plates.
[0008] Preferably, the water pumping mechanism includes a water inlet pipe fixedly installed at the top front end of the planting box, and multiple water inlet branch pipes fixedly installed at the outer end of the water inlet pipe. One end of each of the multiple water inlet branch pipes passes through the front end of multiple inclined hollow water inlet plates and is connected to the interior of the multiple inclined hollow water inlet plates. A water pump is fixedly installed at the front end of the planting box, and a water outlet pipe is fixedly installed at the outlet end of the water pump. One end of the water outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the water inlet pipe, and a water inlet pipe is fixedly installed at the inlet end of the water pump.

[0012] Preferably, the fixed frame has two fixed cone rods inside, and the top of the fixed plate has two connecting holes that communicate with the inside of the fixed frame. The bottom ends of the two fixed cone rods pass through the two connecting holes and extend to the bottom of the fixed plate.
[0013] Preferably, the fixed frame has two threaded rods inside, the top of the threaded rods passes through the top of the fixed frame and is rotatably connected to the top of the fixed frame through a bearing, the top of the fixed cone rod has a threaded groove, the bottom of the threaded rod extends into the threaded groove and is connected to the threaded groove through a thread, and a turntable is fixedly mounted on the top of the threaded rod.
[0014] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:
[0015] 1. Concealed Precision Irrigation: Aesthetically pleasing and Highly Efficient: Precise irrigation to the plant roots is achieved through a sloping, hollow water-filling plate positioned at the top of the planting chamber. This structure is hidden beneath the plant canopy, avoiding the aesthetic impact of exposed traditional sprinkler systems. Simultaneously, the sloping surface design, combined with drainage holes, allows water to permeate evenly and slowly into the substrate soil, effectively reducing water evaporation and surface runoff, significantly improving water resource utilization, making it particularly suitable for the water-saving needs of riverside areas.
[0016] 2. Utilizing the river's self-circulating water system for ecological and energy-saving benefits: Water from the riverbank is directly pumped into the planting boxes via a pumping mechanism (pump, inlet pipe, outlet pipe, etc.), achieving in-situ utilization of water resources. This not only eliminates the hassle of manual irrigation and reduces maintenance costs, but also allows the abundant natural nutrients in the river water to provide some of the nutrients for plant growth, forming a miniature ecological cycle system.
[0017] 3. Unobstructed drainage to prevent root rot: The planting box employs a multi-layered drainage and filtration structure consisting of a perforated plate, a gravel layer, and a geotextile filter layer. Excess water and rainwater can quickly pass through the substrate soil, be filtered by the geotextile, temporarily stored by the gravel layer, and finally drain out through the drainage channel under the perforated plate. This structure ensures that there is no water accumulation at the bottom of the planting chamber, effectively preventing plant rot caused by root soaking and ensuring healthy plant growth during the rainy season or when water levels rise.
[0018] 4. Stable structure, wind-resistant and anti-tipping: The anchoring system, consisting of a fixed plate, fixed frame, fixed cone rod, and threaded rod, allows the planting box to be firmly installed on riverbanks, waterfront platforms, and other locations. The simple and quick operation method, which drives the fixed cone rod deep into the ground by rotating a turntable, ensures the stability of the planting box during flood season or strong winds, effectively preventing it from tipping over or shifting, thus improving the safety and durability of the equipment.
[0019] 5. Modular partitioned planting facilitates maintenance: The planting box is divided into multiple independent planting chambers by fixed partitions, allowing for the separate planting of different plants. This not only facilitates targeted management based on the water and fertilizer requirements of different plants, but also makes it easier to replace or replant a single variety later without affecting plants in other areas, greatly improving the flexibility and convenience of maintenance management.

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 5 A riverside landscape greening ecological planting box mainly includes a planting box body 1, an internal planting structure, an irrigation system and an anchoring system.
[0030] Regarding planting box 1 and its internal planting structure:
[0031] The planting box 1 is the main structure of the entire device, and is typically made of anti-corrosion wood, stone, or high-performance composite materials to adapt to the humid environment near water. A perforated plate 2 is fixedly installed inside, dividing the box into an upper planting area and a lower drainage area. At the top of the perforated plate 2, a layer of sand and gravel 3 and a geotextile filter layer 4 are laid in sequence. The sand and gravel layer 3 serves as the main drainage and aeration channel, while the geotextile filter layer 4 effectively prevents soil erosion and blockage of the drainage channels.
[0032] Multiple fixed partitions 5 are fixedly installed on top of the geotextile filter layer 4. The front and rear ends of these fixed partitions 5 are fixedly connected to the front and rear internal walls of the planting box 1, respectively, thereby evenly dividing the planting area into multiple independent planting chambers 6. Each planting chamber 6 is filled with substrate soil for planting green plants. This modular design facilitates diverse plant configurations and refined maintenance management.
[0033] Regarding irrigation systems:
[0034] At the top of the interior of each planting chamber 6, a set of inclined hollow water-filling plates 7 is installed. Each set consists of two symmetrical inclined plates, which are fixed to the top of the fixed partition 5, and their front and rear ends are also fixedly connected to the front and rear walls of the planting box 1. Crucially, the inclined surface of the inclined hollow water-filling plate 7 faces the substrate soil below. Multiple drainage holes 8 are formed on its inclined surface, and a filter screen 9 is fixed to the inner wall of each drainage hole 8 to prevent impurities from entering and causing blockage.
[0035] The pumping mechanism is responsible for supplying water to all the inclined hollow water-filling plates 7. It includes a water-filling pipe 10 fixed to the top of the front end of the planting box 1. Multiple water-filling branch pipes 11 are connected to the water-filling pipe 10, and the other ends of these water-filling branch pipes 11 pass through the front end of the corresponding inclined hollow water-filling plate 7 and communicate with its interior. A water pump 13 is fixed to the front end of the planting box 1, and its outlet end is connected to the water-filling pipe 10 through an outlet pipe 14. Its inlet end is connected to an inlet pipe 15, the other end of which extends into the river water.
[0036] Working process: Water pump 13 is started, and river water is drawn through inlet pipe 15, pumped into water supply pipe 10 through outlet pipe 14, and then distributed to various water supply branch pipes 11, finally entering the interior of the inclined hollow water supply plate 7. The water accumulates inside the plate and flows out evenly and slowly through drainage holes 8, seeping into the substrate soil below along the inclined surface, achieving precise irrigation of the plant roots. For aesthetic purposes, the water supply pipe 10 and water supply branch pipes 11 can be embedded in the water pipe groove 12 opened at the top front end of the planting box 1.
[0037] Regarding drainage and anchoring systems:
[0038] A drainage trough 16 is provided at the bottom front end of the planting box 1, below the perforated plate 2. All excess water that seeps down after being filtered by the upper layer will eventually collect here and be discharged outside the box, ensuring that there is no water accumulation inside.
[0039] To ensure the stability of the planting box in the riverside environment, a fixing plate 17 is fixed to the bottom of both sides of the planting box 1. A fixing frame 18 is fixed to the top of each fixing plate 17. During anchoring, two fixing cone rods 19 are inserted into the fixing frame 18, with their bottom ends passing through the connecting holes 20 on the fixing plate 17. Then, the turntable 23 at the top of the threaded rod 21 is rotated. Since the bottom end of the threaded rod 21 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove 22 at the top of the fixing cone rod 19, and the top of the threaded rod 21 is rotatably connected to the fixing frame 18 through a bearing, rotating the turntable 23 will drive the fixing cone rod 19 to move downwards, making it firmly drill into the ground, thereby stably fixing the entire planting box 1.
[0040] It should be noted that the water pump 13 mentioned in this utility model can be powered by mature existing technologies, such as connecting to the mains power. However, to reflect the concept of ecological energy conservation, a solar power system is preferred. This system typically includes solar panels, a charge / discharge controller, and a battery. The solar panels convert sunlight into electrical energy and store it in the battery, which then powers the water pump 13. This is a clean, noiseless, and low-cost ideal power supply solution, especially suitable for riverside areas lacking municipal power.
[0041] This invention achieves precise irrigation of plant roots through an inclined hollow water-filling plate located at the top of the planting chamber. This structure is concealed beneath the plant canopy, avoiding the problem of traditional sprinkler systems being exposed and affecting the overall aesthetics of the landscape. Simultaneously, the inclined surface design, combined with drainage holes, allows water to permeate evenly and slowly into the substrate soil, effectively reducing water evaporation and surface runoff, significantly improving water resource utilization. It is particularly suitable for the water-saving needs of riverside areas. This implementation specifically solves the problems of existing riverside landscape greening ecological planting boxes where the water circulation structure is directly positioned above the plant planting location, affecting plant planting and growth, and the sprinkler system being directly exposed above the plants, which also negatively impacts aesthetics.
[0042] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
