Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of greening drainage and water storage, and in particular to a device for drainage and water storage of trees. Background Art

[0002] There is often heavy or continuous rainfall during the plum rain season. The rainfall exceeds the carrying capacity of the drainage pipes, and water accumulation occurs on the road surface. At this time, the increase in soil moisture will cause trees to die due to lack of oxygen, and the excess water that does not penetrate into the surface will also pose a certain threat to urban surface runoff.

[0003] Existing drainage tools cannot effectively meet drainage needs. In existing technologies, many drainage devices only drain the soil around the tree roots or the surface soil, failing to take into account the drainage of both the root soil and the surface soil. This results in ineffective drainage and requires high maintenance costs, consuming a lot of manpower and material resources.

[0004] The long-term lack of effective rainfall during droughts leads to severe water shortages for trees, and tree withering and death are common. Existing drainage systems are unable to address the dry soil during droughts, and forest conservation efforts during droughts often rely on manual watering. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a device for draining and storing water for trees, so as to solve the problem that the existing drainage devices cannot take into account the drainage of soil near the roots and the surface soil, and cannot provide water for trees in the dry season.

[0006] To achieve this object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A device for draining water and storing water from trees, comprising:

[0008] A water-permeable pipe, which is annular and is used to be sleeved on the root system, and has water inlet holes along the circumference of the pipe wall;

[0009] A water storage tank, the water storage tank is arranged below the water permeable pipe in a communication manner, and there are multiple water storage tanks; a water leakage hole is provided on the top of the water storage tank; and

[0010] A rope, one end of which is inserted into the bottom of the water tank and the other end is buried in the soil; the rope is used to transport water to the soil.

[0011] Furthermore, the permeable pipe is connected by a combination of one or more permeable single pipes.

[0012] Furthermore, both ends of the water-permeable single tube are provided with connection units, and one or more water-permeable single tubes are combined into the water-permeable tube through the connection units.

[0013] Furthermore, a covering cloth is provided on the outer ring of the permeable pipe, and the covering cloth is used to filter soil debris.

[0014] Furthermore, a drainage bucket is connected above the permeable pipe, and there are multiple drainage buckets. The drainage bucket is used to receive surface water and surface soil moisture.

[0015] Furthermore, the drainage bucket is a spindle-shaped structure, comprising:

[0016] A filter portion having a conical structure, a lip portion being provided at the top of the filter portion, the lip being configured to extend above the ground to receive surface water, a first water inlet being provided on the lip, and a second water inlet being provided on the side of the filter portion below the lip to receive moisture from the surface soil; and

[0017] The water collecting part is located below the filtering part and is in an inverted cone-shaped bucket structure. The water collecting part is downwardly connected to the water permeable pipe.

[0018] Furthermore, the second water inlet extends linearly from one end to the other end of the filter portion, and a plurality of the second water inlets are arranged in a ring on the side surface of the filter portion.

[0019] Furthermore, the drainage bucket also includes a support portion provided on the lip portion, and the support portion is used to prevent the filter portion and the water collection portion from sinking.

[0020] Furthermore, the outer periphery of the drainage hopper is filled with a barrier, the barrier is in contact with the second water inlet, and the barrier is used to filter soil debris and assist ventilation.

[0021] Furthermore, the water inlet hole, the water leakage hole, the first water inlet, the second water inlet and the top opening of the drainage bucket are all provided with covering cloths.

[0022] This invention features a permeable pipe and water storage tank designed near the tree's root system. Water-collecting holes are located around the pipe and at the top of the tank. During periods of heavy rainfall, the pipe and tank draw moisture from the soil near the root system into the device, where it is stored in the tank at the bottom. This effectively improves drainage efficiency, aids ventilation, and addresses the issue of tree death caused by waterlogging.

[0023] The device features a wire rope that, when the soil is dry during the dry season, transports water from the tank to the tree roots through capillary action, thus providing water to the trees automatically. This allows for the effective storage and reuse of accumulated water during the rainy season. Once the device is installed, the entire process can be automated, significantly saving manpower and resources.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a device for tree drainage and water storage, which provides drainage function for the soil near the tree roots and the surface soil, and solves the problem of tree water shortage in the dry season. Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a water permeable pipe 1 and a water storage tank 2.

[0042] In this embodiment, the permeable pipe 1 is a long tube made of PBS material with a diameter of 50 mm. It is annular and designed to be placed over the root system. Water inlet holes 101 are circumferentially arranged along the wall of the permeable pipe 1. During periods of heavy rainfall, moisture from the soil near the tree roots can flow into the device through these holes.

[0043] Water tank 2 is used to store water received by the device. Made of PBS material, it is located below and connected to permeable pipe 1. The main body of tank 2 is a 130mm diameter cylinder. A pipe connecting to permeable pipe 1 is located above the cylinder. In this embodiment, the pipe has a diameter of 25mm.

[0044] In this embodiment, a plurality of water storage tanks 2 are provided and connected to different positions of the water permeable pipe 1 .

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, a threaded joint is provided at the upper end of the pipeline, and the threaded joint of the water storage tank 2 is connected to the threaded cap extending from the bottom of the permeable pipe 1.

[0046] A leak hole 21 is provided on the top of the water tank 2. In seasons with heavy rainfall, water in the soil near the roots of trees can also enter the water tank 2 through the leak hole 21.

[0047] In this embodiment, one end of the cord 3 is inserted into the bottom of the water tank 2, while the other end is buried in the soil. The cord 3 is an inorganic, long rope, measuring 350 mm in length. The cord 3 delivers water to the tree roots through capillary action. Water in the water tank 2 soaks into the cord 3, diffuses through one end of the cord 3, and penetrates the soil, allowing the tree roots to absorb the water.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the permeable pipe 1 is connected by a combination of one or more permeable single pipes 10. The permeable single pipes 10 have two length models, namely a first long pipe 12 of 1500 mm and a second long pipe 13 of 1000 mm.

[0049] Both ends of the water-permeable single pipe 10 are provided with connection units, which include threaded caps and threaded joints. One or more water-permeable single pipes 10 are combined into a water-permeable pipe 1 through the connection units.

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, a covering cloth 11 is provided on the outer ring of the water-permeable pipe 1 . In this embodiment, the covering cloth 11 is made of non-woven fabric and is used to filter soil debris to prevent the soil debris from entering the water-permeable pipe 1 .

[0051] During construction and installation, the installers dig away the upper soil to expose the tree roots, select a suitable length of permeable single pipe 10 for combination according to the growth range of the tree roots, and arrange the permeable pipe 1 around the tree roots.

[0052] Continue to see Figure 1 , the device also includes a drainage bucket 4. Figure 1 As shown, a drainage bucket 4 is connected to the top of the permeable pipe 1, and the drainage bucket 4 is connected to the permeable pipe 1 through a connecting pipe 6, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the connecting pipe 6 has threaded connectors at both ends, connecting to the threaded cap at the bottom of the drain hopper and the threaded cap extending above the permeable pipe, respectively. The maximum diameter of the drain hopper is 75 mm, and the diameter of the connecting pipe 6 is 18 mm. The drain hopper 4 is used to collect surface water and moisture from the surface soil.

[0053] In this embodiment, the drainage bucket 4 is made of PBS material, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are multiple drainage buckets 4.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, the drainage bucket 4 is a spindle-shaped structure, and the drainage bucket 4 includes a filter portion 41 and a water collection portion 42. The filter portion 41 is a conical structure, and the water collection portion 42 is located below the filter portion 41 and is an inverted conical bucket structure.

[0055] The top of the filter portion 41 is provided with a lip, which is used to extend out of the ground. The filter portion 41 is provided with a first water inlet 411 on the lip. It is understandable that the accumulated water on the surface can flow into the drainage bucket 4 through the first water inlet 411.

[0056] Furthermore, the filter portion 41 is provided with a second water inlet 412 on the side below the lip. It is understood that the accumulated water in the surface soil can flow into the drainage bucket 4 through the second water inlet 412.

[0057] The water collecting portion 42 is downwardly connected to the water permeable pipe 1. The function of the water collecting portion 42 is to collect the water received by the filter portion 41 and inject it downwardly into the connecting pipe 6.

[0058] The second water inlet 412 is strip-shaped and extends from one end of the drain bucket 4 close to the lip to the other end. In this embodiment, a plurality of second water inlets 412 are provided and are arranged around the side of the filter portion 41.

[0059] The drainage bucket 4 further includes a support portion 43 , which is used for fixing and preventing the filter portion 41 and the water collection portion 42 that are partially buried underground from sinking.

[0060] In this embodiment, the support portion 43 is disposed on the lip of the filter portion 41 , and the support portion 43 and the first water inlet 411 do not interfere with each other.

[0061] Furthermore, there are two support parts 43 , which are provided on opposite sides of the drainage bucket 4 , and the support parts 43 are long sheet-like structures.

[0062] The drainage hopper 4 is surrounded by a barrier 5 , which is in contact with the second water inlet 412 . The barrier 5 is used to filter soil debris and assist ventilation.

[0063] Barrier 5 is a mass of gravel of a specific particle size. The gravel forms a filter belt of a certain thickness around the periphery of drainage hopper 4. As water flows from the soil into the device, it passes through the filter belt, filtering out impurities such as grass roots and soil debris. Furthermore, numerous gaps exist between the gravel, allowing the second water inlet 412, which is in contact with the gravel, to also be exposed to air. The gravel improves the device's gas exchange efficiency and aids ventilation.

[0064] In this device, both the top opening of the drainage hopper 4 and the second water inlet 412 allow for gas exchange with the outside. Oxygen flows through the internally connected pathways of the device and reaches the vicinity of the tree roots through the water inlet 101, thereby improving gas exchange efficiency. This device improves soil permeability, aiding the ventilation of tree roots and reducing the likelihood of root necrosis due to lack of oxygen caused by soil compaction.

[0065] The water inlet 101, the water leakage hole 21, the top opening of the drainage bucket 4, the first water inlet 411 and the second water inlet 412 are all provided with covering cloths. In this embodiment, the covering cloths are made of non-woven fabrics.

[0066] The cloth covering the top opening of the drainage bucket 4 and the first water inlet 411 is used to prevent foreign objects such as fallen leaves and stones from entering the device and clogging it. The cloth coverings provided in the water inlet hole 101, the water leakage hole 21 and the second water inlet 412 are used to prevent soil debris from entering and clogging the holes.

[0067] In this embodiment, the main components of the device, including the permeable pipe 1, water storage tank 2, and drainage bucket 4, are all made of PBS material, which is naturally degradable and does not need to be excavated when discarded, making it environmentally friendly. The drainage bucket 4 is designed to drain the surface soil, and the permeable pipe 1 and water storage tank 2 are designed to drain the soil near the roots of trees. During periods of heavy rainfall, surface water, surface soil moisture, and soil moisture near the roots of trees are collected into the device and stored in the water storage tank 2 at the bottom of the device. These drainage devices can effectively drain both the surface soil and the soil near the roots of trees, effectively improving drainage efficiency and alleviating the problem of tree mortality caused by soil waterlogging.

[0068] The device of this embodiment can also play an auxiliary ventilation role. The passage in the device can provide oxygen to the soil near the roots of trees, reducing the chance of tree roots being necrotic due to lack of oxygen caused by soil compaction.

[0069] In this embodiment, a cord 3 is inserted into the water tank 2, one end of which is buried in the soil. During the dry season, when the soil is relatively dry, water from the water tank 2 seeps through the cord 3 and soaks into the soil. This device thus automatically provides water to trees. Water stored during the rainy season can also be effectively stored and reused. This entire process can be automated after the device is installed, significantly saving manpower and resources.

[0070] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. A person skilled in the art would be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
