[0032] The specific implementation of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0033] Municipal flower boxes can beautify the environment, enhance the city's image, and improve the city's climate and ecological environment, protecting the city's ecology. Municipal flower boxes are usually irrigated by spraying, with a large amount of water, and the excess water usually flows out directly, causing waste and making the surrounding roads dirty. In addition, municipal flower boxes usually improve the environment through plant transpiration and photosynthesis, but this process is relatively slow and the effect is not obvious.

[0034] Combine the following Figures 1 to 6 A municipal flower box 100 of the present invention is described.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the municipal flower box 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a box body 110 , a nozzle 130 and a water pump 131 .

[0036] Specifically, a water collecting chamber 113 and at least one mounting groove are provided in the housing 110. The mounting groove is suitable for holding plants, and the mounting groove is connected to the water collecting chamber 113. The water collecting chamber 113 is suitable for collecting excess water in the mounting groove. The mounting groove can hold soil and plant plants, or the plants can be planted in flower pots and placed in the mounting groove to facilitate replacement of plants. The nozzle 130 is arranged at the opening of the mounting groove to spray water on the plants in the mounting groove. The water outlet of the nozzle 130 is suitable for facing the plants. Specifically, the water outlet of the nozzle 130 can face the mounting groove, the water outlet can be flush with the opening of the mounting groove, and the water outlet can also be deflected above the opening of the mounting groove. The nozzle 130 is arranged at the opening of the mounting groove so that the water sprayed by the nozzle 130 is fully in contact with the surrounding air, so that the particulate matter in the air is settled and the surrounding air pollution is reduced. The water pump 131 is connected to the nozzle 130 and is connected to the water collecting chamber 113. The water pump 131 draws water in the water collecting chamber 113 to the nozzle 130 for irrigation. In some embodiments, there are multiple nozzles 130, and the multiple nozzles 130 are distributed at intervals along the length direction of the installation groove to increase the spraying range.

[0037] When watering or when it rains, excess water flows into the water collection chamber 113 for storage. When it is necessary to water the plants or the surrounding air is highly polluted, the water in the water collection chamber 113 is pumped to the nozzle 130 for spraying by the water pump 131. In this way, not only can water be recycled to reduce waste, but also the water vapor sprayed by the nozzle 130 can reduce the surrounding air pollution, actively adjust the surrounding environment, and be more environmentally friendly.

[0038] According to the municipal flower box 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the water collecting chamber 113 is used to recycle and store excess water, and the water in the water collecting chamber 113 is provided to the plants through the water pump 131 and the nozzle 130, so that the water is recycled and the waste is reduced. In addition, the water sprayed by the nozzle 130 can cause the particulate matter in the surrounding air to settle, reduce air pollution, and enable the municipal flower box 100 to actively adjust the surrounding environment and be more environmentally friendly.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a water supply interface 117 is provided on the box body 110, and the water supply interface 117 is connected to an external water source (such as a municipal water supply pipe), and is connected to the nozzle 130 through a water supply pipe in the box body 110, so that water can be supplied normally when there is insufficient water in the water collection chamber 113.

[0040] like Figure 6As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, a filter member 132 is provided between the water collecting cavity 113 and the installation groove to filter the water flowing into the water collecting cavity 113, reduce the sedimentation of impurities in the water collecting cavity 113, reduce the impact on the water pump 131, and facilitate later maintenance at the same time. The filter member 132 can be a sponge member, or the filter member 132 can be a structure having a filter cotton layer and / or a quartz sand layer. When the water level in the water collecting cavity 113 reaches a certain height, part of the water in the water collecting cavity 113 can be sucked into the installation groove through the capillary phenomenon of the filter member 132 to supply water to the plants. The filter member 132 is detachably installed on the inner wall at the connection of the water collecting cavity 113 and the installation groove for easy replacement later.

[0041] According to some embodiments of the present invention, there are multiple installation grooves, including a first installation groove 111 and a second installation groove 112. The bottom of the first installation groove 111 is communicated with the water collecting cavity 113, the side wall of the second installation groove 112 is communicated with the water collecting cavity 113, and the bottom wall of the second installation groove 112 is higher than the bottom wall of the water collecting cavity 113, so that the water in the first installation groove 111 and the second installation groove 112 actively flows into the water collecting cavity 113. As Figure 1 with Figure 6 shown, the water collecting cavity 113 is located below the first installation groove 111, the second installation groove 112 is located on one side of the first installation groove 111 and the water collecting cavity 113, and the first installation groove 111, the second installation groove 112 and the water collecting cavity 113 are in different directions, making reasonable use of space and avoiding the excessive size of the box body 110 in a single direction.

[0042] In Figure 1 with Figure 6 the example of, the first installation groove 111 and the second installation groove 112 are arranged adjacent to each other and extend in the same direction. The position of the first installation groove 111 is higher than the position of the second installation groove 112, and the position of the opening of the first installation groove 111 is higher than the position of the opening of the second installation groove 112, so that the positions of the plants in the first installation groove 111 and the second installation groove 112 are staggered in height, so that the plants in the municipal flower box can obtain more light and are more beautiful. In addition, a convex block 118 is provided on the edge of the first installation groove 111, and the edge of the first installation groove 111 to the edge of the second installation groove 112 is in a curved transition, so that the upper edge of the side of the box body is in a "wide" shape, making the image of the municipal flower box plump and three-dimensional. Nozzles 130 are provided on the inner walls at the openings of the first installation groove 111 and the second installation groove 112 to spray water to the plants in the first installation groove 111 and the second installation groove 112 respectively. In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the second installation groove 112 can be set as an inclined surface, and the height of the side close to the water collecting cavity 113 is lower to guide the water to flow into the water collecting cavity 113.

[0043] As Figure 1As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, an overflow port 116 is provided on the peripheral wall of the water collecting chamber 113. When too much water flows into the water collecting chamber 113, for example, when it rains, too much rainwater flows into the water collecting chamber 113, part of the water flows out through the overflow port to prevent the roots of the plants from being soaked and affecting their survival. The position height of the overflow port 116 can be lower than or slightly higher than the position height of the bottom wall of the second mounting groove 112.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the municipal flower box 100 further includes an air detector 133 and a control device 134. The air detector 133 is provided in the box body 110. The air detector 133 can detect the air condition around the municipal flower box 100. For example, the air detector 133 can detect air pollutants such as PM2.5, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and / or detect temperature, humidity monitoring, etc. The control device 134 is provided in the box body 110. The control device 134 is connected to the nozzle 130 and the air detector 133 for communication. The control device 134 is used to obtain the detection result from the air detector 133 and control the water pump 131 to turn on or off. The control device 134 can control the water pump 131 to turn on or off according to the content, temperature, and humidity of air pollutants detected by the air detector 133, thereby controlling the nozzle 130 to spray or stop spraying, and adjusting the surrounding environment in real time. For example, on some roads prone to dust, when the control device 134 obtains the detection result from the air detector 133 as the threshold value of the particulate matter content in the air, the water pump 131 is controlled to start, and the water is pumped to the nozzle 130 to be sprayed into the air, so that the particulate matter settles and the air environment is improved.

[0045] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the box body 110 is further provided with a storage space 114, and the storage space 114 is provided at the bottom of the second mounting groove 112. Figure 6 As shown, the height of the bottom wall of the second mounting groove 112 is higher than the height of the water collecting chamber 113, and the storage space 114 is arranged at the bottom of the second mounting groove 112, which improves the space utilization rate, and the bottom wall of the storage space 114 is flush with the bottom wall of the water collecting chamber 113, and the box body 110 is more stable when placed on a plane. The water pump 131 is arranged in the storage space 114 to protect the water pump 131. The air detector 133 and the control device 134 can also be arranged in the storage space 114.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the box body 110 is further provided with a fixing portion 120, which protrudes from the first side wall 115 of the box body 110 and forms a fixing groove with the first side wall 115 to be clamped in the installation position, so that the municipal flower box 100 can be hung at a desired position to meet various installation requirements. Figure 4In the example, the fixing portion 120 is disposed at the top of the first side wall 115. However, it is understood that the position of the fixing portion 120 is not limited thereto. The fixing portion 120 may also be disposed at the middle position in the height direction of the first side wall 115. The position of the fixing portion 120 may be set according to the requirements of the installation position, aesthetics, etc. Figure 1 As shown, the fixing portion 120 extends along the length direction of the box body 110 to increase the force-bearing area of ​​the fixing portion 120 and improve the strength of the fixing portion 120 .

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, the fixing portion 120 includes a horizontal plate 121 and a plurality of buckles 122. The horizontal plate 121 is connected to the first side wall 115. The buckle 122 is connected to the horizontal plate 121. The buckle 122 is opposite to the first side wall 115. A fixing groove is formed between the first side wall 115, the horizontal plate 121, and the buckle 122. The plurality of buckles 122 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the horizontal plate 121. The horizontal plate 121 is provided with a plurality of clamping holes 123 along its own length direction. The clamping holes 123 are adapted to the buckles 122. When two or more municipal flower boxes 100 are installed at the same time, the plurality of municipal flower boxes 100 are spliced ​​together by matching the buckles 122 and the clamping holes 123 of different municipal flower boxes 100, thereby improving stability and effectively using the space of the installation position.

[0048] For example, Figure 5 As shown, when the municipal flower box 100 is hung and installed on the railing 200, the fixing part 120 is clamped on the railing 200, and the buckle 122 and the clamping hole 123 cooperate to limit the railing 200 between the two buckles 122, thereby improving the stability of the installation, and the installation and fixing are performed by plugging the buckles 122 with the buckles 122, which is convenient to operate and improves the work efficiency. In addition, the municipal flower box 100 can be installed on both sides of the railing 200 or the wall, which effectively utilizes the space on both sides of the railing 200.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the municipal flower box 100 further includes a solar panel 135, and the solar panel 135 is disposed on the upper surface of the horizontal plate 121. The solar panel 135 can be attached to the horizontal plate 121 and fixed to the horizontal plate 121 by screws. The solar panel 135 is electrically connected to the water pump 131, the air detector 133 and the control device 134 to supply power to the water pump 131, the air detector 133 and the control device 134. It is understandable that the water pump 131, the air detector 133 and the control device 134 can be connected to an external power supply (such as a municipal power supply device) at the same time to ensure power demand. Figure 1 As shown, the horizontal plate 121 is now disposed on the top of the first side wall 115 to reduce the shielding of the solar panel 135 by the box body 110 .

[0050] The working process of the municipal flower box 100 of the present invention is as follows: the municipal flower box 100 is fixed to the railing 200 by the fixing part 120. When it rains or the municipal flower box 100 is irrigated, excess water flows into the water collecting chamber 113 through the installation groove for storage. The water flowing into the water collecting chamber 113 is filtered by the filter element 132 to reduce impurities in the water collecting chamber 113 and ensure the water quality in the water collecting chamber 113.

[0051] The control device 134 controls the water pump 131 to turn on or off. For example, after a period of time, the water pump 131 pumps the water in the water collection chamber 113 to the nozzle 130 to irrigate the plants. The control device 134 obtains the detection result of the air detector 133 to control the water pump 131 to turn on or off according to the detection structure. For example, when the pollutant content in the detection result is lower than the threshold, the control device 134 controls the water pump 131 to turn off; when the pollutant content is higher than the threshold, the control device 134 controls the water pump 131 to turn on to pump the water to the nozzle 130 and spray it into the air, so that the particulate matter settles and improves the air quality. That is, the control device 134 controls the water pump 131 to turn on or off to irrigate plants or adjust the surrounding air environment.

[0052] In summary, the embodiment of the present invention provides a municipal flower box 100, which recycles and stores excess water through the water collection chamber 113, and provides the water in the water collection chamber 113 to the plants through the water pump 131 and the nozzle 130, so as to recycle the water and reduce waste. In addition, the water sprayed by the nozzle 130 can cause the particulate matter in the surrounding air to settle, reduce air pollution, and enable the municipal flower box 100 to actively adjust the surrounding environment and be more environmentally friendly. In addition, the surrounding environment is monitored by the air detector 133, and the water pump 131 is controlled to start by the control device 134 to spray water into the air, so that the particulate matter is settled and the surrounding environment is adjusted immediately.

[0053] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
