[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of flower boxes, in particular to a glass fiber reinforced plastic flower box used for elevated rose planting. Background Art

[0002] In today's society, with the acceleration of urbanization, how to find a balance between development and environmental protection and achieve sustainable urban development has become a problem to be solved. Among them, urban greening, as an important means to improve the quality of urban environment and the quality of life of residents, has received widespread attention. In this context, many cities have begun to try to plant flowers on viaducts to add vitality and color to the reinforced concrete city.

[0003] However, planting flowers on viaducts requires installing special external racks on the concrete guardrails. These external racks are usually made of metal materials to bear the weight of the flower boxes. Their manufacture and installation require additional costs, which increases the economic cost of greening work. In addition, the process of installing the external racks requires drilling holes in the concrete guardrails to fix the external racks. Although the design will try to avoid damage to the main structure as much as possible, it will inevitably weaken the integrity of the concrete and affect the structural stability of the concrete guardrail. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides a glass fiber reinforced plastic flower box for elevated rose planting.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical scheme: a fiberglass flower box for elevated rose planting, comprising a box body with an open top surface, the middle part of the bottom surface of the box body is recessed upward to form a groove whose cross-sectional profile is consistent with the cross-sectional profile of the elevated concrete guardrail, the distance from the bottom of the groove to the bottom surface of the box body is greater than the distance from the bottom of the groove to the top surface of the box body, and the inner cavity of the box body is located on both sides of the groove to form a planting cavity.

[0006] By adopting the above technical scheme, the middle part of the bottom surface of the box is recessed upward into a groove shape, and a planting cavity is formed on both sides of the groove. The planting cavity is used to plant roses. During installation, the groove at the bottom of the box is directly stuck on the concrete guardrail. Since the distance from the bottom of the groove to the bottom surface of the box is greater than the distance from the bottom of the groove to the top surface of the box, the center of gravity of the box is lowered and located in the concrete guardrail, which further improves the stability of the box. There is no need to drill holes in the concrete guardrail and install external brackets, which will not affect the structural strength of the concrete guardrail. The installation is simple and cost-saving.

[0007] Furthermore, a supporting frame plate is provided at the bottom of the planting cavity and is spaced apart from the bottom surface of the planting cavity. A water storage cavity is formed between the supporting frame plate, the bottom surface of the planting cavity and the side walls of the planting cavity. A filter sponge is provided on the supporting frame plate, and a sponge strip extending into the water storage cavity is provided at the bottom of the filter sponge.

[0008] By adopting the above technical scheme, a support frame, a filter sponge and a sponge strip are set, and the soil in the planting cavity is supported by the support frame, so that a water storage cavity is isolated from the bottom of the planting cavity. When there is too much water in the soil in the planting cavity, it will pass through the filter sponge and the support frame to reach the water storage cavity for storage. The filter sponge is used to prevent the soil in the planting cavity from passing through the support frame into the water storage cavity. When there is less water in the soil and there is water in the water storage cavity, the water will be absorbed from the sponge strip to the filter sponge, thereby ensuring that the soil in the planting cavity is moist.

[0009] Furthermore, a plurality of through holes are arranged at intervals on the bottom surface of the planting cavity, an overflow pipe extending upward is arranged coaxially with the through holes, and a plurality of overflow ports are opened on the upper tube wall of the overflow pipe.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, a through hole, an overflow pipe and an overflow port are set. When the water level in the water storage chamber is too high, it will flow into the overflow pipe from the overflow port and then be discharged from the through hole, thereby preventing excessive water in the planting chamber from affecting the growth of roses.

[0011] Furthermore, the top of the overflow pipe contacts the bottom of the supporting frame plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the top of the overflow pipe is set to contact the bottom of the support frame, so that the overflow pipe further supports the support frame to prevent the soil from accumulating on the support frame and causing excessive pressure to deform the support frame.

[0013] Furthermore, a drainage tube is vertically arranged on the bottom plate of the planting cavity, and the upper end of the drainage tube extends upward through the support frame plate and the filter sponge to the upper part of the planting cavity, and a drainage hole is opened on the tube wall of the lower end of the drainage tube.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, a drainage pipe and a drainage hole are set. The upper end height of the drainage pipe is slightly higher than the soil layer height in the planting cavity. When it rains heavily, the water on the soil layer infiltrates slowly and accumulates on the soil layer. The water is drained into the water storage cavity through the drainage pipe and the drainage hole to prevent the water on the soil layer from overflowing from the edge of the box.

[0015] Furthermore, a filter screen is provided at the pipe opening at the upper end of the drainage pipe.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, a filter screen is arranged at the pipe opening at the upper end of the drainage pipe to prevent the soil in the planting cavity from entering the drainage pipe with the water flow and blocking the drainage pipe.

[0017] Furthermore, the tube wall of the drainage tube is wrapped with a water-absorbing sponge.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, a water-absorbing sponge is wrapped on the wall of the drainage pipe, so that the water in the water storage cavity can be absorbed into a higher soil layer.

[0019] Furthermore, a plurality of reinforcing ribs are arranged at intervals on the side walls of the box body.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, a number of reinforcing ribs are arranged at intervals on the side walls of the implant cavity to increase the structural strength of the implant cavity.

[0021] In summary, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: in the present application, the middle part of the bottom surface of the box is recessed upwards in the shape of a groove, and a planting cavity is formed on each side of the groove, and the planting cavity is used to plant roses. During installation, the groove at the bottom of the box is directly stuck on the concrete guardrail. Since the distance from the bottom of the groove to the bottom surface of the box is greater than the distance from the bottom of the groove to the top surface of the box, the center of gravity of the box is lowered and located in the concrete guardrail, which further improves the stability of the box. There is no need to drill holes or install external brackets on the concrete guardrail, which will not affect the structural strength of the concrete guardrail. The installation is simple and cost-saving. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application; obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments, and all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0029] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the embodiment of the present application discloses a fiberglass flower box for elevated rose planting, including a box body 10 with an open top surface, the box body 10 is made of fiberglass, and the middle part of the bottom surface of the box body 10 is concave upward to form a groove shape with a cross-sectional profile consistent with the cross-sectional profile of the elevated concrete guardrail, so that the box body 10 is easy to clamp on the concrete guardrail. The distance from the bottom of the groove to the bottom surface of the box body 10 is greater than the distance from the bottom of the groove to the top surface of the box body 10. The center of gravity of the box body 10 is lower and located in the concrete guardrail, which further improves the stability of the box body 10. The box body 10 is placed directly on the concrete guardrail, which is simple to install. There is no need to drill holes in the concrete guardrail and then install an external bracket, which saves the cost of flower box arrangement and does not affect the structural strength of the concrete guardrail.

[0030] Specifically, the inner cavity of the box body 10 is located on both sides of the groove to form a planting cavity 11, and the planting cavity 11 is filled with soil for planting roses. A support frame plate 20 is arranged at the bottom of the planting cavity 11 and is spaced apart from the bottom surface of the planting cavity 11. The support frame plate 20 is a porous plate. A water storage cavity 12 is formed between the support frame plate 20, the bottom surface of the planting cavity 11, and the side wall of the planting cavity 11 to store water that permeates from the soil in the planting cavity 11. A filter sponge 21 is provided on the support frame plate 20, which, on the one hand, prevents the soil in the planting cavity 11 from passing through the support frame plate 20 and entering the water storage cavity 12. On the other hand, when there is too much water in the soil in the planting cavity 11, it will pass through the filter sponge 21 and the support frame plate 20 to reach the water storage cavity 12 for storage. A sponge strip 22 extending into the water storage cavity 12 is provided at the bottom of the filter sponge 21. When there is less moisture in the soil and there is water in the water storage cavity 12, the water will be absorbed from the sponge strip 22 to the filter sponge 21 to ensure that the soil in the planting cavity 11 is moist.

[0031] A plurality of through holes 13 are arranged at intervals on the bottom surface of the planting cavity 11, and an overflow pipe 30 extending upward is arranged coaxially at the through hole 13. A plurality of overflow ports 31 are provided on the upper tube wall of the overflow pipe 30. When the water level in the water storage cavity 12 is too high, the water will flow into the overflow pipe 30 from the overflow port 31 and then be discharged from the through hole 13, so as to avoid excessive water in the box 10 and affect the growth of roses. The through hole 13 can be connected to a drain pipe so that the water is directly discharged into the urban pipeline. The top of the overflow pipe 30 contacts the bottom of the support frame plate 20, so that the overflow pipe 30 further supports the support frame plate 20, so as to avoid the soil accumulating on the support frame plate 20 and causing the support frame plate 20 to deform due to excessive pressure.

[0032] A drainage pipe 40 is vertically arranged on the bottom plate of the box body 10. The upper end of the drainage pipe 40 extends upward through the support frame plate 20 and the filter sponge 21 to the upper part of the planting cavity 11. A drainage hole 41 is provided on the tube wall at the lower end of the drainage pipe 40. The height of the soil in the planting cavity 11 should be lower than the height of the upper end of the drainage pipe 40. When it rains heavily, the water on the soil layer penetrates slowly and the water will accumulate on the soil layer. The water is drained into the water storage cavity 12 through the drainage pipe 40 and the drainage hole 41 to prevent the water on the soil layer from overflowing from the edge of the box body 10. A filter screen 42 is provided at the upper end of the drainage pipe 40 to prevent the soil in the box body 10 from entering the drainage pipe 40 with the water flow and blocking the drainage pipe 40. In addition, a water-absorbing sponge 43 is wrapped on the tube wall of the drainage pipe 40, which can absorb the water in the water storage cavity 12 into a higher soil layer. In the specific configuration, the lower end of the water-absorbing sponge 43 is located above the drainage hole 41 to avoid obstructing the water in the drainage tube 40 from flowing into the water storage chamber 12, and the upper end of the water-absorbing sponge 43 is lower than the top of the soil layer to avoid the water-absorbing sponge 43 being directly exposed to the air to cause the water in the water storage chamber 12 to evaporate quickly. A plurality of reinforcing ribs 14 are arranged at intervals on the side wall of the box body 10 to increase the structural strength of the box body 10.

[0033] The use principle of a fiberglass flower box for elevated rose planting in the present embodiment is as follows: after the rose is planted in the planting cavity 11, the box body 10 is clamped on the concrete guardrail through the groove. When it rains and is watered, there is too much moisture in the soil in the planting cavity 11, which penetrates downward through the filter sponge 21 and the support frame plate 20 and reaches the water storage cavity 12 for storage; when the water flow is too large and the water on the soil layer has no time to penetrate downward, the water on the soil layer will reach the water storage cavity 12 through the drainage pipe 40 and the drainage hole 41, preventing the water on the soil layer from overflowing from the edge of the box body 10; when there is too much water in the water storage cavity 12, it will flow from the overflow port 31 into the overflow pipe 30 and then be discharged from the through hole 13, preventing excessive moisture in the planting cavity 11 from affecting the growth of the rose; when the soil in the planting cavity 12 is relatively dry, the sponge strip 22 and the absorbent sponge 43 absorb the water in the water storage cavity 12 upward to keep the soil in the planting cavity 11 moist.

[0034] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
