Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of plant planting equipment, and more particularly to a special planting box for solanaceous vegetables suitable for planting on urban balconies. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, the lifestyles of urban residents are constantly changing, people's pace of life is getting faster and faster, and the pressure of life is getting greater and greater. Many people have found that growing vegetables on the balcony can relieve stress and enrich life. Vegetable gardens, which used to only appear in rural areas, have gradually entered urban families, and more and more people are happy to be "urban farmers" and build "balcony farms."

[0003] However, due to the limited planting conditions on family balconies, it is necessary to plant plants in planting containers. Existing planting containers have a wide coverage, and most people use flower pots to grow vegetables. There are several problems: First, due to the growth characteristics of Solanaceae vegetables, the later management involves pruning, hanging seedlings for pollination, etc., and sufficient planting space is required between plants. However, existing flower pots can only plant one plant, resulting in insufficient utilization or planting multiple plants, resulting in poor growth. Secondly, the existing flower pots cannot replace seedlings and substrates "on demand" or "at any time" during use; thirdly, it is difficult to achieve uniform irrigation in the existing flower pots during use, which is not conducive to the growth of vegetables; furthermore, the growth of any plant cannot be separated from water. Traditional small-scale planting on balconies uses manual watering, which is difficult to ensure timely and appropriate watering, so it is easy for vegetables to die due to long-term lack of water. That is, the lack of targeted planting containers brings a certain degree of trouble to the planting of Solanaceae vegetables on family balconies.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a new type of container that can meet the needs of balcony fruit and vegetable planting is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a special planting box for Solanaceae vegetables suitable for planting on urban balconies. To achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A special planting box for eggplant and fruit vegetables suitable for planting on urban balconies, comprising: a support plate, a planting container and a box body;

[0007] The support plate can be detachably placed on the top of the box body;

[0008] The support plate is provided with a mounting hole, and the planting container is disassembled and mounted in the mounting hole;

[0010] Preferably, an injection hole is provided on the support plate, and a discharge hole is provided at the bottom end of the box body, and rubber plugs are provided at both the injection hole and the discharge hole.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned preferred technical solution are: the design of the injection hole is conducive to the injection of liquid from one side of the box from top to bottom, and air is brought into the box at the same time, avoiding deformation caused by opening the planting plate to inject liquid during the growth period of the plant; the discharge hole can instantly release part of the liquid in the pelvic cavity to prevent the water level from being too high and causing root rot, and can also completely release and replace the liquid in the pelvic cavity to maintain the liquid environment in the cavity and prevent bacterial growth.

[0012] Preferably, the top edge of the planting container has a wing rafter, and the planting container is mounted on the mounting hole through the wing rafter.

[0013] The beneficial effect of the above preferred technical solution is that: by adopting the setting of the wing rafter structure, the planting container can be directly placed on the mounting hole, which is convenient for taking and replacing, and the structure is simple and easy to operate.

[0014] Preferably, a liquid level observation window is provided on the side wall of the box.

[0015] The beneficial effect of the above preferred technical solution is that the liquid level in the box can be observed at any time through the observation window, which is convenient for timely addition and effective control of the liquid level to avoid water shortage or root flooding.

[0016] Preferably, the planting container is provided with a plurality of through holes at the bottom end, and the through holes are symmetrically distributed, and absorbent cotton strips are passed through the through holes, and the ends of the absorbent cotton strips extend into the box body.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the above preferred technical solution are: water supply is carried out through the siphon effect of the cotton strips, the water supply can be effectively controlled, and the water supply can be set according to the growth needs of different crops by controlling the number of symmetrical holes and the number of cotton strips. The structure is simple and the cost is low.

[0018] Preferably, a plurality of the mounting holes are provided, and the number of the planting containers corresponds to the number of the mounting holes.

[0019] The beneficial effect of the above-mentioned preferred technical solution is that when planting Solanaceae vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, peppers, etc.), a reasonable plant spacing can be maintained through the design of multiple mounting holes. After the plants grow up, they still have sufficient space for growth and development after single-stalk / double-stalk pruning, which is beneficial to leaf photosynthesis and fruit coloring. At the same time, it is beneficial to disperse the pressure of the planting board and avoid serious deformation.

[0020] Preferably, the support plate is also provided with a working status indicator light and a time recorder.

[0021] Furthermore, the support plate is built with a controller, and the controller can be a PLC control system; the box is also provided with a liquid level meter, and the liquid level meter and the working status indicator light are both electrically connected to the controller. The time recorder is a manual recorder or a commercially available simple electronic watch.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned preferred technical solution are: a fertilization time recorder is embedded thereon, which is convenient for recording the time of fertilization or injection of nutrient solution, and is displayed in months and days to prevent the grower from forgetting the last time, resulting in fertilizer waste due to multiple fertilizations, or forgetting to fertilize, resulting in nutrient deficiency in the plants; a working status indicator light is also embedded thereon, which can display and control different indicators in different colors, for example, in red, yellow and green. According to the feedback information of the liquid level meter, green indicates that the amount of liquid in the pot is appropriate and the plant is in the best growth state; yellow indicates that the injected liquid exceeds the bottom of the planting cup, and the bottom of the plant root system may be short of oxygen, which is not conducive to the growth of plants; red indicates that there is a serious lack of water in the pot, and the plant is at risk of drying up, and liquid needs to be replenished immediately.

[0023] Preferably, the injection hole is connected with a rubber tube, which penetrates into the bottom of the box. The bottom of the hole has a rubber tube that passes through the bottom of the box, which can slowly inject water into the box to avoid excessive injection or water splashing when the water is injected openly to affect the balcony environment.

[0024] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that, compared with the prior art, the present invention discloses a special planting box for Solanaceae vegetables suitable for planting on urban balconies, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] The planting box of the present invention has a simple structure, a reasonable design, and is convenient for replacing plants together with the substrate.
