Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of seedling raising and planting devices, and more specifically, to a cultivation container. Background Art

[0002] Seedling cultivation is a key link in horticultural production and a key technical measure to improve the comprehensive benefits of horticultural crops. Therefore, cultivating strong seedlings is the foundation for the development of the horticultural industry. Cultivating seedlings of horticultural plants such as seedlings, flowers, fruits, and vegetables requires cultivation containers, which are also an important tool in factory-based seedling cultivation. Seedlings are cultivated by sowing horticultural plant seeds in cultivation containers or by cutting and grafting some horticultural plants into cultivation containers. After the seedlings grow to a certain stage, they need to be transplanted to greenhouses, sheds, or open fields to continue growing.

[0003] Currently, the drainage holes of seedling containers are mostly located at the bottom of the container, close to the ground. During the seedling raising process, plant roots will block the drainage holes or penetrate the ground through the drainage holes. The former will cause water accumulation in the pot and induce root rot, while the latter will cause damage to the roots during the transfer process. Although it is possible to prevent the roots from penetrating the ground by setting a filter at the drainage hole, in actual application, if the filter aperture is too small, the drainage hole is still easily blocked by plant roots or soil due to the size of the soil and gravity; and if the filter aperture is too large, it is difficult to limit the plant roots from penetrating the ground.

[0004] Patent publication number CN217957912U discloses a simple water-saving root-blocking flower pot, comprising: a pot body; a hemispherical protrusion, the hemispherical protrusion is arranged at the bottom of the inner wall of the pot body, and the hemispherical protrusion forms an arc-shaped space at the bottom of the pot body. A drainage hole is arranged at or near the top of the hemispherical protrusion to increase the distance between the drainage hole and the ground, that is, the air root-breaking principle is used to block the root growth. However, in actual production, it is found that the space between the hemispherical protrusion and the ground is relatively closed, narrow, and humid, and in some cases, the root system may penetrate and grow. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned existing technical problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a cultivation container, which can overcome the problem that the water holes arranged at the bottom of the container are easily penetrated by the roots, and the air root cutting effect is better.

[0006] The above-mentioned purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A cultivation container comprises a pot bottom and an outer shell connected to the pot bottom, wherein the outer shell is recessed inwardly to form a drainage portion, wherein at least two drainage portions are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the outer shell, and wherein the drainage portion is a stepped structure, comprising at least two steps, wherein a drainage hole connecting the inside and outside of the outer shell is arranged at the top of each step; wherein the outer shell is composed of a plurality of mutually connected planes, wherein the connection between the planes is bent to form a ridge line.

[0008] The utility model provides a cultivation container, wherein the outer shell is recessed inward to form a drainage portion with a stepped structure, and the multi-level stepped structure is generated by utilizing the difference in the depth of the outer edge recess. The top of each step is provided with a drainage hole connecting the inside and the outside of the outer shell, which ensures drainage while preventing plant roots from blocking the drainage hole, thereby causing water accumulation in the pot and inducing root rot. On the other hand, because the drainage hole is provided at the top of each step, the plant roots growing toward the bottom will not penetrate into the ground through the drainage hole, thereby avoiding damage to the root system during the transfer process. In addition, more importantly, the drainage portion with a stepped structure generated by different recessed depths is provided with drainage holes on each step, which can better play the role of drainage and air root pruning, and the air root pruning effect is better.

[0009] In addition, the cultivation container provided by the present invention has a ridge line formed at the connection between the planes constituting the outer shell, which improves the stability of the overall structure of the cultivation container and overcomes the problem of upward center of gravity and reduced stability caused by setting water outlets on the annular protrusions around the cultivation container.

[0010] The drainage part in the cultivation container provided by the utility model forms a stepped structure, which is convenient for stacking and transporting the cultivation container and has better structural stability.

[0011] Preferably, the drainage portion is composed of a plurality of inclined surfaces arranged obliquely and a connecting surface connecting adjacent inclined surfaces, and the drainage holes are arranged on the inclined surfaces.

[0012] Preferably, the angle between the inclined surface and the horizontal plane is 15-45°. In this preferred angle range, the lateral space of the cultivation container can be saved on the basis of increasing the inner surface area of ​​the cultivation container, while ensuring drainage and ventilation of the cultivation container.

[0014] Preferably, the drainage portion further includes a supporting surface, and two supporting surfaces are provided, one end of the supporting surface is connected to the outer shell, and the other end of the supporting surface is connected to the inclined surface and the connecting surface.

[0015] Preferably, the ratio of the number of the planes to the number of the drainage portions is 3:1.

[0016] Preferably, the number of the drainage parts is 5 to 10. More preferably, the number of the drainage parts is 6 to 8. More preferably, the number of the drainage parts is 8.

[0017] Preferably, the drainage portion includes 3 to 4 steps. Further preferably, the drainage portion includes 3 steps.

[0018] Preferably, the distance between the bottom of the pot and the drainage hole closest to the bottom of the pot is 1 to 2 cm. This distance height setting can make the cultivation container play the role of water storage and water saving, and can also avoid the problem of water accumulation caused by the drainage hole being too high from the bottom of the pot, which may cause root rot of the plant.

[0019] Preferably, the diameter of the circumscribed circle of the top cross section of the shell is 11.0 to 28.0 cm, the diameter of the circumscribed circle of the bottom cross section of the basin bottom is 8.0 to 24.0 cm, and the height of the drainage portion is 5.0 to 14.0 cm.

[0020] Preferably, the diameter of the drainage hole is 0.8-1.2 cm.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] The utility model provides a cultivation container, which can ensure drainage while avoiding the plant roots blocking the drainage holes, and prevent water accumulation in the pot from inducing root rot; on the other hand, because the drainage holes are arranged at the top of each step, the plant roots growing toward the bottom will not penetrate into the ground through the drainage holes, avoiding damage to the root system during the transfer process, and can better play the role of drainage and air root cutting, and the air root cutting effect is better, which effectively prevents the roots of seedlings from being nested and entangled in the container. The cultivation container provided by the present invention has a ridge line formed by bending the connection between the planes constituting the outer shell, which improves the stability of the overall structure of the cultivation container and overcomes the problem of upward center of gravity and reduced stability caused by using annular protrusions around the cultivation container to set the water outlet holes.
