Specific embodiments

[0025] Next, in combination with the embodiments of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present invention. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more.

[0026] As Figure 1 shown, in combination with Figures 2 - 5 , the rotating plant decorative column of the present invention includes a base 1. A driving device 2 is provided inside the base 1. The driving device 2 is a motor. A rotating shaft 3 is provided at the central position of the upper part of the base 1. The rotating shaft 3 is rotatably connected to the base 1 through a second bearing 17. The rotating shaft 3 is coaxially connected to the driving device 2. A plurality of turntables 4 are coaxially arranged from top to bottom on the rotating shaft 3. The turntable 4 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 3 through a second bearing. A plurality of planting boxes 5 are circumferentially arranged on each turntable 4.

[0027] A circular groove 9 is provided at the top of each turntable 4. The groove 9 is coaxial with the rotating shaft 3. An internal gear ring 10 is embedded inside each groove 9, and the internal gear ring 10 is arranged coaxially with the rotating shaft 3. The driving gear 6 is coaxial with the rotating shaft 3 and fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 3. One end of the connecting plate 7 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 3, and the other end is hinged to the driven gear 8. The driving gear 6 and the driven gear 8 are both on the same side of the connecting plate 7 and are both inside the internal gear ring 10. The driven gear 8 is located between the driving gear 6 and the internal gear ring 10, and the driven gear 8 meshes with both the driving gear 6 and the internal gear ring 10. The radii of the driving gear 6 and the driven gear 8 in each turntable 4 are different. The sum of the radii of the driving gear 6 and the driven gear 8 is equal to the distance between the internal gear ring 10 and the rotating shaft 3. By changing the radii of the driving gear 6 and the driven gear 8, the transmission ratio is changed, thereby changing the rotational speed.

[0028] The driving device 2 drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate, driving the driving gear 6 to drive the driven gear 8 to drive the internal gear ring 10 to rotate, so as to achieve the purpose of driving the turntable 4 and the planting box 5 to rotate. By having different outer diameters and numbers of teeth of the driven gear 8, the rotational speed of the driven gear 8 is changed, so that each layer of the planting box 5 can rotate, and the rotational speeds of each layer of the planting box 5 are different.

[0029] In a specific embodiment, the number of turntables 4 can be designed according to the actual situation, as well as the number of planting boxes 5 arranged circumferentially on each turntable 4. Figures 1 - 3 As shown, the rotating plant decoration column of the present invention is provided with two turntables 4, upper and lower. Each turntable 4 is circumferentially provided with eight planting boxes.

[0030] In a specific embodiment, the distance between two adjacent turntables 4 is determined according to the size of the plant. When the plant canopy is small, the spacing can be adjusted smaller, and when the plant canopy is large, the spacing is adjusted larger.

[0031] In a specific embodiment, a water box 11 is provided at the top of each turntable 4. The water box 11 is a hollow cavity with an open top and a closed bottom, and its cross-section is circular ring-shaped. The water box 11 is embedded outside the rotating shaft 3 and is arranged coaxially with the rotating shaft 3. A first bearing 12 is also provided between the water box 11 and the rotating shaft. The planting box 5 is a hollow cavity with an open top and a closed bottom. A watering hole 111 is provided at the bottom of the water box 11, and the watering hole 111 is directly above the opening of one of the planting boxes 5.

[0032] When the rotating shaft 3 rotates, the water box 11 is stationary relative to the rotating shaft. Through the watering hole 111, the top of each rotating planting box 5 is irrigated. The amount of water in the water box 11 is the amount of water required for one irrigation, ensuring thorough watering without leakage.

[0033] In a specific embodiment, due to the different rotation speeds of the turntable 4, to ensure that the same amount of water is allocated to each planting box 5, the aperture diameter of the watering holes 111 of the water box 11 is determined according to the rotation speed of the turntable 4, that is, the aperture diameters of the watering holes 111 at the bottom of each water box 11 are different. The aperture diameter of the watering hole 111 is directly proportional to the rotation speed of the turntable 4 at its bottom. The greater the rotation speed, the larger the aperture diameter of the watering hole 111, and the faster the water droplets fall; the smaller the rotation speed, the smaller the aperture diameter of the watering hole 111, and the slower the water droplets fall.

[0034] In a specific embodiment, the planting box 5 is filled with a substrate. A planting opening 51 is provided on the side of the planting box 5 away from the turntable 4. Plants are planted in the planting box 5 through the planting opening 51. The plants are planted circumferentially to facilitate receiving more light.

[0035] In a specific embodiment, the turntable 4 is polygonal, including a plurality of outer side surfaces 41. The outer side surfaces 41 are rectangular. One planting box 5 is provided on each outer side surface 41. The planting box 5 is detachably connected to the turntable. The plurality of planting boxes 5 are centrosymmetric about the rotating shaft 3 and combined into a planting tray 13.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, as Figures 3 - 5 shown, a vertical chute 14 is opened on each outer side surface 41 of the turntable 4. The chute 14 communicates with the top of the turntable 4. The width of the bottom of the chute 14 is greater than the width of the notch. A vertical slider 15 is provided on the outer side surface 41 of the planting box 5. The cross-section of the slider 15 is in a "T" shape, and the shape and size of the slider 15 match those of the chute 14. Specifically, the cross-sections of both the chute 14 and the slider 15 are in a "T" shape. The slider 15 of the planting box 5 is inserted into the chute 14 on the outer side surface 41 of the turntable 4 from top to bottom. The chute 14 and the slider 15 with cross-sections in a "T" shape play a role in fixing and preventing the planting box 5 from shaking.

[0037] In a specific embodiment, the shapes of the turntable 4 and the planting box 5 can be various and can be determined according to the actual situation. As Figure 3 shown, the outer side surface of the turntable 4 of the present invention is octagonal, and the cross-section of the planting box 5 is trapezoidal. Two adjacent planting boxes 5 are tightly connected to form a planting tray 13 with octagons both inside and outside. The turntable 4 can also be set as circular, the outer side surface 41 is arc-shaped, the cross-section of the planting box 5 is fan-shaped, and a plurality of planting boxes 5 are combined into an annular planting tray 13.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, both the water box 11 and the base 1 are circular and are coaxially arranged with the rotating shaft 3. The outer diameters of the water box 11 and the base 1 are the same and are the same as the outer diameter of the planting tray 13.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, the water box 11 at the top is provided with a cover plate 15. The cover plate 15 is located at the top of the water box 11 to prevent foreign objects from falling in.

[0040] In a specific embodiment, both the driving gear 7 and the driven gear 9 are located at the top of the connecting plate 8, which serves to connect and support the driven gear 9.

[0041] In a specific embodiment, rollers may also be provided at the bottom of the base 1 to facilitate handling and movement.

[0042] The principle of the present invention is as follows: The driving device 2 drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate, the rotating shaft 3 drives the driving gear 6 to drive the driven gear 8 to rotate, and the driven gear 8 is in internal gear transmission with the internal gear ring 10 to drive the planting box 5 on the turntable 4 to rotate. Since the outer diameters and the number of teeth of the driven gears 8 corresponding to each layer of the turntable 4 are different, the rotation speeds of each layer of the turntable 4 are different, resulting in random changes in the combination of the upper and lower layers of plants, diversified landscapes, and no aesthetic fatigue will be caused. During the rotation process, the water required for one-time irrigation is poured into the water box 11. When the turntable 4 rotates, the water in the water box 11 flows into each planting box 5 passing through the watering holes 111 through the watering holes 111, and the amount of water in the water box 11 is just enough for the substrates of all the planting boxes 5 in this layer to reach the saturated state.

[0043] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
