Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to municipal engineering, in particular to a flower box. Background Art

[0002] Municipal engineering projects often use green plants and flowers to green roads, bridge decks, etc. to improve their appearance and quality. Flower boxes provide a place for these green plants and flowers to be planted, making it convenient to place them on roads, bridge decks, etc. Correspondingly, it is also necessary to water the green plants and flowers in the flower boxes. The structure of existing flower boxes is relatively simple. Generally, wooden boards are used to assemble the shape of a box, and the box is filled with soil. When watering is needed, water is poured onto the soil surface from the opening above the box, allowing the water to seep down into the soil. This way of watering, coupled with the fact that the flower box itself is relatively deep and the soil filled in is relatively thick, also makes it difficult for the water to penetrate into the deeper part of the soil, which is not conducive to the absorption of water by green plants and flowers.

[0032] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 A flower box comprises a base 1, a water pipe network 2, a fence 3, a first connecting part 4 and three second connecting parts 5.

[0033] The base 1 includes a bottom plate 1a and four limit strips 1b, and the four limit strips 1b are fixedly connected to the four sides of the bottom plate 1a. Specifically, the bottom plate 1a and the limit strips 1b can be made of wood and fixedly connected by glue, screws, etc. A groove area is formed in the middle of the bottom plate 1a by the four limit strips 1b.

[0034] The water pipe network 2 is fixed to the base 1. Specifically, the water pipe network 2 at least includes a water outlet pipe 2a corresponding to the groove area and a connecting pipe 2b. The water outlet pipe 2a has a plurality of first water outlet holes, and the connecting pipe 2b passes through one of the four corner positions of the limiting strip 1b.

[0035] The connection between the connecting pipe 2b and the outlet pipe 2a can be: the water pipe network 2 also includes a pipe arranged between the outlet pipe 2a and the connecting pipe 2b, and accordingly, a groove for accommodating the pipe needs to be provided on the limiting strip 1b. However, a 90-degree elbow joint is required between the pipe and the outlet pipe 2a and between the pipe and the connecting pipe 2b, which makes it inconvenient to provide the groove on the limiting strip 1b, and the connecting pipe 2b is also unstable on the limiting strip 1b, which easily affects the subsequent connection with the first connecting portion 4.

[0036] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 Preferably, the connection between the connecting pipe 2b and the water outlet pipe 2a can also be: one of the limiting strips 1b has a first cavity 1b1, and the water outlet pipe 2a is connected to the first cavity 1b1. Specifically, both ends of the first cavity 1b1 can be open, and the inner wall is coated with waterproof paint. The two adjacent limiting strips 1b and the two ends of the first cavity 1b1 are coated with waterproof glue to seal the openings at both ends of the first cavity 1b1. The side wall of the first cavity 1b1 close to the water outlet pipe 2a is threadedly connected with a first joint 1b3 connected to the first cavity 1b1, and the water inlet of the water outlet pipe 2a is connected to the first joint 1b3; among the two adjacent limiting strips 1b, there is also a limiting strip 1b with a second cavity 1b2, and the second cavity 1b2 is open at only one end and is connected to the first cavity 1b1, and the connecting pipe 2b is connected to the second cavity 1b2. Specifically, the connecting pipe 2b can be a second joint, which is threadedly connected to the corresponding limiting strip 1b and is connected to the second cavity 1b2.

[0037] See also Figure 4 Furthermore, a rectangular protrusion 1a1 is provided in the middle of the bottom plate 1a, and the rectangular protrusion 1a1 is provided for the limiting strip 1b to fit and support the water outlet pipe 2a in the corresponding groove area of ​​the water pipe network 2.

[0038] See also Figure 6 The upper and lower parts of the enclosure 3 are open, and the lower opening is plugged into the groove area of ​​the base 1. Correspondingly, a notch is provided on the bottom surface of one of the side walls to match the water inlet of the water outlet pipe 2a. The four sides of the enclosure 3 near the upper opening are provided with mounting strips 3a.

[0039] The two ends of the first connection part 4 are fixedly connected to the mounting strip 3a and the connection pipe 2b, respectively. The first connection part 4 is also provided with a water inlet 4a, that is, by adding water to the water inlet 4a, the water passes through the first connection part 4, the second cavity 1b2, and the first cavity 1b1, enters the water outlet pipe 2a, flows out from the water outlet hole, and enters the lower part of the soil in the enclosure 3, so as to facilitate the root absorption of the green plants and flowers in the flower box.

[0040] The three second connection parts 5 are respectively fixedly connected to the remaining three corner positions of the installation strip 3a and the limiting strip 1b. Specifically, self-tapping screws 7 can be used. That is, both the limiting strip 1b and the installation strip 3a are provided with stepped through holes for the self-tapping screws 7 to enter, and the second connection parts 5 have blind holes at both ends. First, the self-tapping screws 7 are threadedly connected to the limiting strip 1b, and then the limiting strip 1b is installed on the bottom plate 1a, and then the three second connection parts 5 are threadedly connected to the self-tapping screws 7, and then the enclosure 3 is placed, and then the self-tapping screws 7 pass through the installation strip 3a and are threadedly connected to the second connection parts 5, and finally, the step holes on the installation strip 3a are sealed with debris and glue to block the self-tapping screws 7 and maintain the appearance.

[0041] The water inlet 4a may be arranged on the outer wall of the first connecting portion 4. Accordingly, the top end of the first connecting portion 4 and the mounting bar 3a may be connected by self-tapping screws 7.

[0042] See also Figure 3 and Figure 5 Preferably, the upper end of the first connection part 4 is open, serving as a water inlet 4a; the mounting bar 3a has a stepped through hole at a position corresponding to the first connection part 4, the upper end of the first connection part 4 is in the stepped through hole, and is connected to a retaining ring 4c. Specifically, the first connection part 4 has an annular protrusion 4b at a position below the mounting bar 3a that presses against the mounting bar 3a, and cooperates with the retaining ring 4c to fix the upper end of the first connection part 4 and the mounting bar 3a.

[0043] In this way, the first connection part 4 and the second connection part 5 are more similar in appearance, and the flower box is more beautiful.

[0044] Furthermore, the mounting strip 3a is connected to a detachable shielding cover 3a1 at the position of the step through hole.

[0045] It can be found that if mud is placed directly in the enclosure 3, the mud will directly cover the water outlet pipe 2a, and the mud may enter the water outlet pipe 2a from the water outlet hole, and after a long period of accumulation, it is easy to cause blockage.

[0046] See also Figure 6 Therefore, in some embodiments, the flower box further includes a woven net 6. The enclosure 3 is provided with a plurality of placement boards 3b, and there is a gap between adjacent placement boards 3b. The plurality of placement boards 3b are all above the water pipe network 2, and the woven net 6 is laid on the plurality of placement boards 3b, dividing the enclosure 3 into a lower layer paved with gravel and an upper layer paved with soil. That is, firstly, gravel is laid on the bottom plate 1a and covers the water outlet pipe 2a through the gaps between the placement boards 3b, and then the woven net 6 is laid, and then soil is laid on the woven net 6, so that water can pass through the woven net 6.
