Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of planting equipment technology, specifically relating to a landscape planting device that can collect rainwater. Background Technology

[0002] Landscape architecture can be divided into two types: hard and soft. Hard landscapes consist of architectural elements such as tiles, walls, and railings, while soft landscapes consist of natural elements such as trees and water features. Tree landscapes are generally cultivated from seedlings, with interventions during the cultivation process to gradually shape them into aesthetically pleasing forms or postures. Trees are particularly vulnerable to damage in the seedling stage due to extreme drought or heavy rain, therefore, certain measures need to be taken to provide a suitable growing environment for the seedlings.

[0003] Chinese patent CN115349387B discloses a rainproof device for planting fruit tree seedlings. The device includes a shell, a connecting frame, and a first shield. When the seedlings need to be shielded, the device moves the connecting frame and the first shield upwards, causing the first shield to open outwards and remain horizontal, thus preventing rainwater from hitting the seedlings.

[0004] In the process of rotating the first shield to keep it horizontal, the saplings planted on both sides of the shell will obstruct the rotation of the first shield. As a result, the above solution is only applicable to saplings with small height, and the applicable scenarios are relatively limited. In addition, the above solution cannot collect rainwater, and the utilization rate of rainwater resources is low. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a landscape planting device that can collect rainwater, in order to solve the problems of the limited applicable scenarios and low utilization rate of rainwater resources of the above-mentioned solutions.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A rainwater-collecting landscape planting device includes a base, a lifting assembly, a rain shield, and planting pools. Uprights are fixedly mounted on the left and right ends of the top of the base, and a mounting frame is fixedly mounted on the top of both uprights. Symmetrical enclosures are arranged on the front and rear sides of the uprights above the base. The enclosures, uprights, and base form a water storage cavity. A crossbar is fixedly mounted on the bottom outer side of the mounting frame. The lifting assembly includes two sliders symmetrically arranged inside the water storage cavity. A motor is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting frame to drive the two sliders up and down. The rain shield is slidably inserted into the gap between the crossbar and the mounting frame. The left and right ends of the bottom of the rain shield are rotatably connected to the two sliders. Two planting pools are provided, located on the front and rear sides of the base.

[0008] The principle and effects of this technical solution:

[0009] Initially, the slider is located at the bottom of the water storage chamber, and the top of the rain shield slides against the crossbar. When encountering heavy rain, the motor drives the two sliders to move upward. Under the action of gravity, the rain shield rotates relative to the slider, and the slider moves upward and moves closer to the crossbar, thus moving the top of the rain shield away from the crossbar. When the slider moves to the high position, the rain shield tends to be horizontal, and the top of the rain shield is higher than the bottom of the rain shield. Rainwater falls from the high position to the top of the rain shield and flows down along the rain shield until it falls into the water storage chamber.

[0010] With the above-mentioned setup, the slider moves up and down, causing it to rotate and extend through the gap between the crossbar and the mounting frame. This prevents saplings planted on the side of the device from obstructing the extension of the rain shield, allowing the device to protect taller saplings. At the same time, the water storage chamber collects rainwater and allows it to be used when water is scarce, improving the efficiency of rainwater utilization and saving water resources.

[0011] In this invention, the lifting assembly further includes two lead screws that are rotatably inserted into the left and right ends of the water storage chamber, and two sliders that are respectively fitted onto the corresponding lead screws and slide against the corresponding uprights. The top of each of the two lead screws is fixedly fitted with a worm gear. The top of the mounting frame is rotatably provided with a worm in the left and right direction. The output shaft of the motor is connected to the worm through a transmission belt. The left and right ends of the worm are respectively engaged with the corresponding worm gears.

[0012] The principle and effects of this technical solution:

[0013] The motor drives the worm gear to rotate via the transmission belt. Since the worm gear meshes with the two worm wheels, it in turn drives the two worm wheels and the corresponding lead screw to rotate. The vertical rod restricts the rotation of the slider, causing the slider to move up and down with the rotation of the lead screw.

[0014] The above setup achieves the goal of enabling the motor to drive the two sliders to move up and down, thereby causing the sliders to push the rain shield to extend out from between the crossbar and the mounting bracket.

[0015] In this invention, the top front and rear sides of the mounting frame are respectively provided with connecting groups. The connecting groups include connecting blocks fixedly set at the left and right ends of the top of the mounting frame. A cleaning bracket is rotatably set between the two connecting blocks of the connecting group. The cleaning bracket has a filter screen at the end near the rain shield. The filter screen is placed above the gap between the crossbar and the mounting frame.

[0016] In this invention, round pins are fixedly installed on the top of the left and right sides of the cleaning bracket, the two round pins are coaxial, and the side walls of the two connecting blocks are respectively provided with grooves along the axial direction of the round pins. The two round pins are respectively rotatably inserted into the corresponding grooves, and coil springs are respectively sleeved on the outer periphery of the round pins in each groove. The two ends of the coil springs are respectively fixedly connected to the round pins and the inner side walls of the grooves.

[0017] The principle and effects of this technical solution:

[0018] As the rain shield extends from between the crossbar and the mounting bracket, the top of the rain shield pushes open the cleaning bracket first, causing the cleaning bracket to rotate relative to the connecting block. This causes the coil spring to deform and gain a certain elasticity. As the rain shield continues to rotate, the coil spring drives the cleaning bracket to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the filter screen at one end of the cleaning bracket to press tightly against the rain shield. When debris falls onto the rain shield with rainwater and flows into the water storage chamber, the filter screen intercepts this debris. After the rain stops and the rain shield returns to its original position, the coil spring drives the cleaning bracket to press tightly against the mounting bracket, and the filter screen covers the gap between the crossbar and the mounting bracket.

[0019] The above setup prevents debris from flowing into the water storage chamber along with rainwater on the rain shield during rainfall. It also eliminates the need for additional filtration of the water in the storage chamber, simplifying the operation and saving manpower.

[0020] In this invention, a spraying assembly is also included. The spraying assembly includes a nozzle fixedly mounted above the mounting frame. A water supply pipe is connected to the bottom of the nozzle. The bottom end of the water supply pipe passes through the mounting frame and extends into the water storage chamber. A water pump is also connected to the bottom of the water supply pipe.

[0021] With the above setup, the water in the storage chamber is pumped out through the water supply pipe and nozzles by the water pump, which can replenish the water for the seedlings planted on the side of the device under drought conditions, making reasonable use of the collected rainwater and improving the efficiency of rainwater utilization.

[0022] In this invention, a protrusion is fixedly provided on the top of the slider, and a threaded hole is provided on the side wall of the protrusion. A rotating shaft is provided between the protrusion and the rain shield. The rotating shaft has a threaded section that mates with the threaded hole and an optical shaft section that is rotatably inserted into the rain shield.

[0023] The principle and effects of this technical solution:

[0024] Align the bottom of the rain shield with the screw holes on the two sliders, and rotate the optical shaft section of the rotating shaft through the screw hole to insert it into the bottom of the side wall of the rain shield, and make the threaded section of the shaft threadedly connected to the screw hole.

[0025] The above-mentioned design allows the rain shield and slider to be detachably connected, facilitating the transfer and transportation of the device. It also allows any rain shield to be disassembled according to the actual site conditions, so that the device can be placed near buildings, thus expanding the applicable scenarios of the device.

[0026] In this invention, the orthographic projection of the enclosure is U-shaped, and connecting plates are fixedly provided at the left and right ends of the two enclosures on the side that are close to each other. Multiple first through holes for bolts are provided at intervals on the connecting plates.

[0027] In this invention, a base plate is fixedly provided on the outer periphery of the bottom of the enclosure, and a plurality of second through holes are spaced apart on the base plate. An insertion hole that mates with the second through holes is provided on the top of the base, and an internal thread is provided on the inner sidewall of the insertion hole.

[0028] In this invention, sealing strips are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the two uprights and on the front and rear sides of the top of the enclosure.

[0029] The principle and effects of this technical solution:

[0030] Two side panels are installed facing each other on the front and rear sides of the upright. Bolts are passed through the two first through holes on the two connecting plates, and nuts are fitted onto one end of the bolts until the connecting plates of the two side panels are respectively pressed against the sealing strips on the side walls of the corresponding uprights. At this time, the second through hole on the base plate is aligned with the insertion hole on the top of the base. Then, the bolts are passed through the second through hole and threaded into the corresponding insertion hole until the bottom of the base plate is pressed against the sealing strip on the base.

[0031] The above-mentioned design allows the enclosure to be tightly connected to the uprights and the base, preventing water from seeping out of the water storage chamber through the gaps between the enclosure and the uprights and between the enclosure and the base. This ensures the anti-seepage performance of the device and facilitates the connection of the rain shield and the slider, improving the ease of installation. Attached Figure Description

[0051] In this embodiment, a spraying assembly is also included. The spraying assembly includes a nozzle 41 fixedly mounted above the mounting frame 12.

[0052] In this embodiment, a protrusion 211 is fixedly provided on the top of the slider 21, and a threaded hole 212 is provided on the side wall of the protrusion 211. A rotating shaft 213 is provided between the protrusion 211 and the rain shield 30. The rotating shaft 213 has a threaded section that mates with the threaded hole 212, and an optical axis section that is rotatably inserted into the rain shield 30.

[0053] In this embodiment, the orthographic projection of the enclosure 13 is U-shaped, and the left and right ends of the two enclosures 13 that are close to each other are respectively fixedly provided with connecting plates 131, and multiple first through holes 132 for passing bolts are spaced apart on the connecting plates 131.

[0054] In this embodiment, a base plate 133 is fixedly provided on the outer periphery of the bottom of the enclosure 13. A plurality of second through holes 134 are spaced apart on the base plate 133. An insertion hole 19 that mates with the second through holes 134 is provided on the top of the base 10. The inner sidewall of the insertion hole 19 is provided with an internal thread.

[0055] In this embodiment, continuous sealing strips 50 are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the two uprights 11 and the front and rear sides of the top of the enclosure 13.

[0056] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0057] In the initial state, the slider 21 is located at the bottom of the water storage cavity 14, and the top of the rain shield 30 slides against the crossbar 15. When encountering heavy rain, the motor 16 drives the two sliders 21 to move upward. Under the action of gravity, the rain shield 30 rotates relative to the slider 21, and the slider 21 moves upward and approaches the crossbar 15, thereby moving the top of the rain shield 30 away from the crossbar 15. When the slider 21 moves to the high position, the rain shield 30 tends to be horizontal, and the top of the rain shield 30 is higher than the bottom of the rain shield 30. Rainwater falls from the high position to the top of the rain shield 30 and flows down along the rain shield 30 until it falls into the water storage cavity 14.

[0058] The drive motor 16 drives the worm 24 to rotate via the transmission belt 241. Since the worm 24 meshes with the two worm wheels 23, it drives the two worm wheels 23 and the corresponding lead screw 22 to rotate. Since the upright rod 11 restricts the rotation of the slider 21, the slider 21 moves up and down with the rotation of the lead screw 22.

[0059] As the rain shield 30 extends from between the crossbar 15 and the mounting bracket 12, the top of the rain shield 30 pushes open the cleaning bracket 18 first, causing the cleaning bracket 18 to rotate relative to the connecting block 17. This causes the coil spring 172 to deform and have a certain elasticity. As the rain shield 30 continues to rotate, the coil spring 172 drives the cleaning bracket 18 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the filter screen 181 at one end of the cleaning bracket 18 is pressed tightly against the rain shield 30. When debris falls onto the rain shield 30 with rainwater and flows into the water storage chamber 14, the filter screen 181 intercepts this part of the debris. After the rain stops and the rain shield 30 returns to its original position, the coil spring 172 drives the cleaning bracket 18 to press tightly against the mounting bracket 12, and the filter screen 181 covers the gap between the crossbar 15 and the mounting bracket 12.

[0060] Align the bottom of the rain shield 30 with the screw holes 212 on the two sliders 21, and rotate the optical axis section of the rotating shaft 213 through the screw hole 212 and insert it into the bottom of the side wall of the rain shield 30, and thread the threaded section of the shaft 213 with the screw hole 212.

[0061] Two side panels 13 are installed facing each other on the front and rear sides of the upright 11. Bolts are passed through the two opposite first through holes 132 on the two connecting plates 131, and nuts are fitted on one end of the bolts until the connecting plates 131 of the two side panels 13 respectively abut against the sealing strips 50 on the side wall of the corresponding upright 11. At this time, the second through hole 134 on the base plate 133 is aligned with the insertion hole 19 on the top of the base 10. Then, the bolts are passed through the second through hole 134 and threaded into the corresponding insertion hole 19 until the bottom of the base plate 133 abuts against the sealing strip 50 on the base 10.

[0062] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of the present invention, and common knowledge regarding specific technical solutions or characteristics is not elaborated upon here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the technical solutions of the present invention, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention. These modifications and improvements will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of the present invention or the practicality of the patent.
