Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of forest land restoration in desertified areas, and particularly to a plant cultivation device for water collection and evaporation prevention, which is suitable for application in forestation plans in desertified areas and provides more favorable growth conditions for seedlings used in forestation. Background Art

[0002] Nowadays, in order to combat land desertification in arid regions, forest land restoration is a fundamental prevention and control method. Planting appropriate trees on arid land adjacent to deserts not only resists desertification but also has functions such as soil and water conservation and water source conservation.

[0003] The forest land restoration plan seemingly easy to achieve often fails due to various factors in actual implementation, resulting in the death of the planted tree seedlings, and ultimately ending in failure. Among them, more importantly, after the seedlings are transplanted to arid land, certain protection and stable water supply must be provided to the seedlings for a period of time so that they can resist drought and strong winds during the initial transplantation stage. For this reason, in one of the known technologies, a section of PVC protection tube is put on the transplanted seedlings to enable them to grow in the protection tube to resist strong winds. However, if this PVC protection tube is not recycled, it will form non-decomposable garbage pollution, and recycling one by one will increase the cost of forest land restoration. Therefore, it is not a good technical solution.

[0004] The inventor of this case previously proposed a plant seedling cultivation device (Taiwan, China Utility Model Patent No. M550537) and a plant seedling water-containing cultivation device (Taiwan, China Utility Model Patent No. M574388), both of which are made of paper materials into a water-storing basin-like structure. However, when using the above two cultivation devices, their upper ends must be exposed on the ground surface to receive and collect rainwater. Therefore, they are suitable for use in regions with more rainfall and milder temperatures and are not suitable for desertified areas. In arid or semi-arid areas at the edge of the desert, the annual rainfall is small and the surface temperature is too high. When afforesting in such a deteriorated environment, it is more necessary to give priority to considering how to prevent water storage evaporation and collect moisture in the air. Moreover, in desertified areas, due to the lack of other windbreaks, the newly transplanted seedlings are very likely to be damaged by strong winds, such as broken branches, toppling, or defoliation, which are not conducive to growth, and the above two cultivation devices also lack corresponding protection functions.

[0005] Therefore, how to propose a plant cultivation device that is particularly suitable for application in arid or semi-arid desertified areas and solves the problems encountered in the above-known technologies is the subject that the present invention actively aims to overcome.

[0042] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and be able to implement it, but the cited embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0043] Refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, it is the first preferred embodiment of the plant cultivation device for water collection and evaporation prevention of the present invention, which is applicable to cultivating plants in arid or semi-arid desertified areas. Its preferred specific embodiment includes a cultivation pot 10, an upper cover 20 and a water collecting pipe 30, wherein:

[0044] Such as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 And Figure 5As shown, the cultivation pot 10 is a container made of a bio - decomposable waterproof paper material, which can be made of pulp and plant wax, and other fertilizers beneficial to plant growth can also be mixed into the pulp. The main structure of the cultivation pot 10 has a flat bottom 11, a first side wall 12 surrounding the periphery of the bottom 11 and extending upward, a water storage chamber 13 formed on the bottom 11 with an upward opening, and a first tube body 14 protruding upward from the bottom 11 into the water storage chamber 13. Among them, the contour of the bottom 11 can be implemented as an ellipse, a circle or a polygon, and the first side wall 12 forms the same shape as the bottom 11. The inside of the first tube body 14 forms a cultivation chamber 15 for filling soil and planting plant seedlings. The lower end of the cultivation chamber 15 communicates with the bottom of the bottom 11, enabling the roots of the plant seedlings to grow downward. The upper end of the first tube body 14 has a water guiding structure 1A, which is used to guide the water falling on the upper end of the first tube body 14 into the water storage chamber 13 for storage.

[0045] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, the upper cover 20 is also a cover body made of a bio - decomposable waterproof paper material like the cultivation pot 10. The upper cover 20 is detachably combined with the upper end of the first side wall 12 of the cultivation pot 10 to cover the opening above the water storage chamber 13 of the cultivation pot 10. The upper cover 20 has a top wall 21 and a second side wall 22 surrounding the periphery of the top wall 21 and extending downward. The contours of the top wall 21 and the second side wall 22 correspond to the first side wall 12 of the cultivation pot 10, so that the second side wall 22 can be sleeved on the upper end of the first side wall 12. Also, a water collecting pipe 30 made of waterproof paper material is provided on the top wall 21 of the upper cover 20. The upper end of the water collecting pipe 30 must protrude upward higher than the top wall 21 of the upper cover 20 to serve as a protective cylinder structure surrounding the plant seedlings. The lower end inside the water collecting pipe 30 directly communicates with the water guiding structure 1A at the upper end of the above - mentioned first tube body 14. Thus, through the structures of the water collecting pipe 30 and the water guiding structure 1A, the external water (rainwater, dew or artificially sprayed water) falls into the water guiding structure 1A through its pipe and then flows into the water storage chamber 13 of the cultivation pot 10 for storage, so as to continuously supply the plant seedlings in the cultivation chamber 15 in the future.

[0046] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, the water guiding structure 1A at the upper end of the first pipe body 14 of the cultivation pot 10 preferably has a water receiving wall 16. The water receiving wall 16 extends from the upper end of the first pipe body 14 towards its center, and can extend horizontally to form a horizontal ring or extend slightly obliquely upwards to form a cone. A first through hole 17 communicating with the cultivation chamber 15 below is provided on the water receiving wall 16. Above the first through hole 17 is aligned with the water collecting pipe 30, so that the water receiving wall 16 faces the inside of the water collecting pipe 30 mentioned above, for receiving the water falling from the water collecting pipe 30 and then flowing into the water storage chamber 13. Among them, a water retaining wall 18 protruding upwards can be implemented at the circumferential part of the first through hole 17 of the water receiving wall 16, and the diameter of the pipe wall of the water collecting pipe 30 mentioned above is larger than the diameter of the water retaining wall 18. Therefore, part of the water falling into the water collecting pipe 30 can fall onto the water receiving wall 16 outside the water retaining wall 18 and then flow towards the water storage chamber 13.

[0047] Again, Figures 2 to 5 As shown in the figure, the present invention further includes a water guiding strip 40 made of a soft water absorbing material. The water guiding strip 40 is placed on the water receiving wall 16 at the upper end of the first pipe body 14. Its first end extends into the cultivation chamber 15 inside the first pipe body 14 through the water retaining wall 18, and its second end extends into the water storage chamber 13, for attracting the water at the second end in the water storage chamber 13 to the first end in the cultivation chamber 15, and can continuously supply water to the plant seedlings. Among them, a notch 181 is provided on the water retaining wall 18, so that the water guiding strip 40 extends into the cultivation chamber 15 inside the first pipe body 14 through the notch 181.

[0048] Referring to Figure 6 As shown in the figure, through the above structural design of the plant cultivation device, the cultivation pot 10 can be sunk under the soil, and then plant seedlings can be cultivated in the cultivation chamber 15 inside the first pipe body 14. After putting the spare water into the water storage chamber 13, the upper cover 20 is covered on the cultivation pot 10. Then soil is covered above the upper cover 20, so that the plant cultivation device is buried under the ground surface, and only the water collecting pipe 30 protrudes above the ground surface. Thereafter, the water in the water storage chamber 13 is slowly supplied to the cultivation chamber 15 through the capillary action of the water guiding strip 40. If rainwater falls into the water collecting pipe 30, or dew accumulates on the seedlings and then falls into the water collecting pipe 30, it can be received by the water receiving wall 16 of the water guiding structure 1A and then supplemented into the water storage chamber 13. When the present invention is applied in arid or semi-arid desertified areas, due to the small annual rainfall and high surface temperature in desertified areas, it is suitable to be buried under the ground surface to prevent the stored water from being quickly evaporated. For drought-tolerant plants, artificial watering or water replenishment from the water collecting pipe 30 can be carried out at very long intervals to supplement the water in the water storage chamber 13. Therefore, the success rate of forest land restoration can be improved.

[0049] Referring again to Figures 2 to 5As shown, in order for the upper cover 20 to support the soil covering above, a second pipe body 23 that integrally protrudes downward can be implemented at the top wall 21 of the upper cover 20 corresponding to the first pipe body 14 of the cultivation pot 10. The upper end inside the second pipe body 23 communicates to the outside of the top wall 21, and the lower end inside the second pipe body 23 communicates to the upper end of the first pipe body 14. When the upper cover 20 covers the upper end of the cultivation pot 10, the water-receiving wall 16 above the upper end of the first pipe body 14 abuts and supports against the lower end of the second pipe body 23 of the upper cover 20. More specifically, the lower end of the second pipe body 23 has a support bottom wall 24 extending toward its center. The support bottom wall 24 forms a second through hole 25. The upper part of the second through hole 25 communicates to the inside of the second pipe body 23, and the lower part of the second through hole 25 is aligned with the first through hole 17. Thus, the water-receiving wall 16 above the upper end of the first pipe body 14 abuts and supports against the lower surface of the support bottom wall 24, and the support bottom wall 24 or the water-receiving wall 16 can be recessed with a plurality of water guide grooves 26 that radially communicate to the water storage chamber 13. Therefore, the water falling on the water-receiving wall 16 can flow into the water storage chamber 13 through the water guide grooves 26, and the water guide grooves 26 can also provide for the above-mentioned water guide strips 40 to pass through (as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 ).

[0050] In the first embodiment of the present invention above, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the water collecting pipe 30 can be specifically arranged inside the second pipe body 23 of the upper cover 20, so that the lower end of the water collecting pipe 30 is integrally connected or assembled to the support bottom wall 24 on the circumference of the second through hole 25, and the upper end of the water collecting pipe 30 protrudes above the top wall 21 of the upper cover 20 through the top wall 21. Therefore, even when the present invention is buried underground, water can be added or rainwater or dew can be collected through the water collecting pipe 30. Moreover, the pipe wall of the water collecting pipe 30 has several uneven parts 31, such as longitudinal grooves and ridges, so that the water collecting pipe 30 has better strength and can be used to surround the plant seedlings (as shown in Figure 6 ), resisting the blowing of strong winds.

[0051] Referring to Figures 7 to 10 , shown is the second preferred embodiment of the plant cultivation device for water collection and evaporation prevention of the present invention. It also has a cultivation pot 10, an upper cover 20 and a water collecting pipe 30. The structures of the cultivation pot 10 and the upper cover 20 are the same as those in the first embodiment above. The difference is that the water collecting pipe 30 is not integrally formed or assembled inside the second pipe body 23 of the upper cover 20, but is separately manufactured and formed. The lower end of the water collecting pipe 30 has a flange 32 or other structures suitable for assembling and combining. Thus, through the flange 32 covering and combining on the top wall 21 of the upper cover 20 and covering the upper end inside the second pipe body 23, the pipe wall of the water collecting pipe 30 also has several uneven parts 31, and the same effects as above can be achieved.

[0052] The above-described embodiments are only preferred embodiments given to fully illustrate the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Equivalent substitutions or transformations made by those skilled in the art on the basis of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the claims.
