Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of vegetation watering, in particular to a watering device for vegetation in potted plants. Background Art

[0002] Drip irrigation system: This method uses a dripper to drip fertilizer solution into the roots of plants. The advantage is that the amount of fertilizer can be accurately controlled to avoid over-fertilization and excessive watering. In addition, the drip irrigation system can also keep the soil moisture constant, which is conducive to the growth of plant roots. The disadvantage is that the drip irrigation system needs to be installed, which is relatively cumbersome to operate and requires a certain amount of investment and maintenance costs.

[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN215346322U discloses a row-type potted rose irrigation device, which includes a box body and an irrigation part. A water outlet is provided at the bottom of the box body, and the water outlet is connected to the irrigation part through an irrigation pipe. A feeding port and a water inlet are provided at the top of the box body. The water supply port is connected to the water inlets of a medicine preparation box and a fertilizer and water preparation box at the same time through the water supply pipe. The feeding port is used by the user to add medicine or fertilizer to the box body.

[0004] The above device is more suitable for irrigating large vegetation, but it is too cumbersome to use for vegetation at home, and the fertilizer is separated from the irrigation part, and the process of fertilizer and water mixing is still difficult for home use. Therefore, in order to be suitable for home use, it is urgent to propose an integrated fertilizer and water watering device for potted plants. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a fertilizer-water integrated watering device for potted plants, so as to solve the problem of how to load fertilizer into an irrigation part for use.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the specific technical scheme of the integrated fertilizer and water watering device for potted plants of the utility model is as follows:

[0007] A fertilizer-water integrated watering device for potted plants, comprising a carrying box and a ground plug, wherein the ground plug is arranged at the bottom of the carrying box and is used to be plugged into the soil, so that the carrying box is arranged adjacent to vegetation, and two filter layers are arranged in the carrying box in an upper and lower manner, and fertilizer is accommodated between the two filter layers;

[0008] A dripper is arranged on the lower side of the carrier box, and a nutrient solution obtained by mixing water and fertilizer in the carrier box drips out through the dripper.

[0009] Among them, the fertilizer and water in the carrier box are mixed to obtain nutrient solution, and the nutrient solution drips into the roots of the vegetation through the dripper under the action of gravity. In this way, the fertilizer is placed in the carrier box, and when in use, water is poured into the carrier box. The water in the carrier box is actively mixed with the fertilizer under the action of gravity to obtain nutrient solution. The whole process is completed in the carrier box, without connecting pipes or setting up negative pressure equipment. Gravity is used to make the nutrient solution drip into the roots of the vegetation through the dripper, thereby achieving the purpose of simplifying the operating steps during drip irrigation.

[0010] There are two filter layers distributed up and down in the carrier box, which are the first filter plate and the second filter plate respectively. The first filter plate is on the top and the second filter plate is on the bottom, and a storage bin for accommodating fertilizers is formed between the first filter plate and the second filter plate; at the same time, the first filter plate and the second filter plate are both arranged near the middle of the carrier box, so that a water bin is formed on the first filter plate, and a nutrient solution bin is formed under the second filter plate. Under the constraint of the first filter plate, water does not soak the fertilizer, but flows down through the gaps between the fertilizers, soaking the surface of the fertilizer in the process of flowing down, so that the fertilizer gradually dissolves into the downstream water to obtain a nutrient solution (a mixed solution of water and fertilizer), thereby avoiding long-term immersion to dissolve all the fertilizers, and preventing the fertilizer concentration in the nutrient solution from being too high, causing root burns and damaging plants. The nutrient solution then enters the nutrient solution bin through the second filter plate under the action of gravity, and then drips into the roots of the vegetation through the dripper.

[0011] The nutrient solution tank here also has another function. When the flow rate dripping from the dripper is less than the flow rate of water flowing down in the water tank, the nutrient solution can be temporarily stored in the nutrient solution tank to prevent the nutrient solution from soaking the fertilizer in the storage tank.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In order to better understand the purpose, structure and function of the utility model, the utility model is described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Nowadays, drip irrigation systems are used to water potted plants, because they can keep the soil in the pots moist at a constant level, which is beneficial to the growth of plant roots. However, the drip irrigation system needs to be installed, which is relatively cumbersome to operate.

[0023] For example: Chinese patent publication number CN215346322U discloses a row-type potted rose irrigation device, including a storage part and an irrigation part, the storage part and the irrigation part are connected by an irrigation pipe, the irrigation part is arranged in the planting pot, the storage part is used to store medicine and fertilizer, and the irrigation part performs fertilization and spraying operations on the planting pot.

[0024] The watering device of the utility model mainly integrates fertilizer and water in the irrigation part (i.e., the carrying box 100 in the following text), so that irrigation can be carried out directly after the irrigation part is fixed, eliminating the steps of connecting pipes, etc., wherein: Figure 1 The overall structure of the watering device is shown; first, Figure 1 As shown, the watering device includes a supporting box 100 and a ground plug 300. The ground plug 300 is arranged at the bottom of the supporting box 100. The ground plug 300 is used to be plugged into the soil so that the supporting box 100 is arranged adjacent to the vegetation. A dripper 200 is arranged on the lower side of the supporting box 100. The fertilizer and water in the supporting box 100 are mixed to obtain a nutrient solution. The nutrient solution drips into the roots of the vegetation through the dripper 200 under the action of gravity.

[0025] In this way, fertilizer is placed in the carrier box 100, and when in use, water is poured into the carrier box 100. The water in the carrier box 100 is actively mixed with the fertilizer under the action of gravity to obtain a nutrient solution. The entire process is completed in the carrier box 100, without the need to connect pipes or set up negative pressure equipment. Gravity is used to make the nutrient solution drip into the roots of the vegetation through the dripper 200, thereby achieving the purpose of simplifying the operating steps during drip irrigation.

[0026] The first embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, there are two filter layers distributed in the upper and lower parts of the carrier box 100, and the two filter layers are a first filter plate 111 and a second filter plate 121 ( Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the first filter plate 111 is on the top, and the second filter plate 121 is on the bottom, and a storage bin for accommodating fertilizers is formed between the first filter plate 111 and the second filter plate 121; at the same time, the first filter plate 111 and the second filter plate 121 are both arranged adjacent to the middle of the carrier box 100, so that a water bin is formed on the first filter plate 111, and a nutrient solution bin is formed under the second filter plate 121, and the dripper 200 is connected to the nutrient solution bin, so that the generated nutrient solution can drip out through the dripper 200; when in use, the water in the water bin flows under the action of gravity, and no special control component is provided, so the nutrient solution bin also has a function that, after the flow rate dripped out by the dripper 200 is less than the flow rate of the water flowing down in the water bin, the nutrient solution can be temporarily stored through the nutrient solution bin to prevent the nutrient solution from soaking the fertilizer in the storage bin.

[0027] The watering device in this embodiment is disposable (disposable here does not mean that it can only be used once, but the fertilizer in the storage bin cannot be recycled). When making it, the second filter plate 121 is first fixedly connected to the inner wall of the carrier box 100, and then an appropriate amount (determined according to the size of the storage bin) of fertilizer suitable for vegetation is filled in, and then the first filter plate 111 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the carrier box 100. In order to avoid oxidation of the fertilizer, the carrier box 100 is evacuated (the dripper 200 is closed by a plug at this time), and then a film is sealed on the top of the carrier box 100 by hot pressing. This film is connected to the carrier box 100 in an easy-to-tear manner, and a drying bag can also be placed in the water bin to achieve the purpose of moisture-proof, so that the fertilizer in the carrier box 100 can be stored for a long time.

[0028] Preferably, the supporting box 100 is configured in a conical shape to reduce the bottom area and raise the liquid level in the nutrient solution bin to facilitate the nutrient solution to flow out of the dripper 200 .

[0029] Generally, the dripper 200 is arranged on the outer wall of the supporting box 100, so that the dripping mouth of the dripper 200 can face outward, so that the nutrient solution flows out in a parabola, and then the supporting box 100 is arranged near the periphery of the vegetation to achieve drip irrigation of the roots. In this way, the height requirement of the supporting box 100 is reduced, thereby saving the installation cost of the ground plug 300 and reducing the space occupied by the ground plug 300 during transportation.

[0030] For the convenience of transportation, the ground plug 300 and the carrying box 100 are connected in a detachable manner, for example, plug-in fitting, snap-fit ​​fitting, etc.

[0031] like Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 The figure shows the use state of the watering device in potted plants. When in use, if the ground plug 300 is in a disassembled state, it is necessary to install the ground plug 300 at the bottom of the carrier box 100, and then tear off the film on the carrier box 100, take out the dry bag in the water tank, and then insert the ground plug 300 into the pot planted with vegetation. Specifically, the ground plug 300 is inserted into the soil adjacent to the vegetation, and the carrier box 100 is fixed by the restraining force of the soil, and the dripper 200 is directed toward the vegetation before insertion. At this time, the preliminary preparation work is completed, because the fertilizer is stored in the storage bin, there is no need to consider the problem of fertilizer filling; then, an appropriate amount of water is poured into the water tank according to the growth of the vegetation. At this time, due to the first filter The water volume of plate 111 is limited, so the water poured into the water tank will be temporarily stored in the water tank, and no personnel need to take care of it. Subsequently, the water flows into the storage bin through the first filter plate 111 under the action of gravity. Similarly, under the constraint of the first filter plate 111, the water will not soak the fertilizer, but flow down through the gaps between the fertilizers, soaking the surface of the fertilizer during the downstream process, so that the fertilizer gradually dissolves into the downstream water to obtain a nutrient solution (a mixed solution of water and fertilizer), thereby avoiding long-term immersion to dissolve all the fertilizers, and preventing the fertilizer concentration in the nutrient solution from being too high, causing root burns and damaging plants. The nutrient solution then enters the nutrient solution bin through the second filter plate 121 under the action of gravity, and then drips into the roots of the vegetation through the dripper 200.

[0032] Generally, after the fertilizer in the storage bin is used up, the watering device is not discarded. It is no longer used for fertilization, but is used for watering. The first filter plate 111 and the second filter plate 121 are used to restrict the downstream flow of water and filter impurities in the water.

[0033] Further, such as Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8A spring tube 210 and an adjusting head 220 are shown. The spring tube 210 is sleeved on the end of the dripper 200 or connected through a nut. The adjusting head 220 is arranged at the end of the spring tube 210 away from the dripper 200. A knob is arranged on the adjusting head 220 to adjust the dripping speed. The spring tube 210 can be stretched and bent freely, thereby changing the position and orientation of the adjusting head 220, and can even be inserted into the soil at the root for watering.

[0034] The second embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 A detachable carrier box 100 is shown, which consists of a top ring body 110, a middle ring body 120 and a bottom ring body 130. The top ring body 110, the middle ring body 120 and the bottom ring body 130 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom, wherein: the top and bottom of the top ring body 110 and the middle ring body 120 are hollowed out, the top of the dripper 200 is hollowed out, and a bottom plate 131 is arranged at the bottom, so as to form a nutrient solution tank in the bottom ring body 130; in addition, the bottom of the top ring body 110 and the middle ring body 120 are both provided with a lower bite part, and the top of the middle ring body 120 and the bottom ring body 130 are both provided with an upper bite part, and the upper bite part and the lower bite part are threadedly connected to achieve disassembly / assembly by rotation, and the carrier box 100 is obtained after assembly.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first filter plate 111 is installed at the bottom of the top ring body 110 to form a water tank in the top ring body 110, and the second filter plate 121 is installed at the bottom of the middle ring body 120 to form a storage tank in the top ring body 110. Because the top ring body 110, the middle ring body 120 and the bottom ring body 130 all adopt a conical design, with the support of the inner wall, the first filter plate 111 placed in the top ring body 110, the second filter plate 121 placed in the middle ring body 120 and the bottom plate 131 placed in the bottom ring body 130 can all be supported without falling, so there is no need to set additional connecting parts.

[0036] The advantage of this embodiment is that when the fertilizer in the storage bin is used up, the top ring body 110 can be rotated to disassemble it, and then the fertilizer can be added or replaced in the storage bin. At the same time, the first filter plate 111 or the second filter plate 121 can be replaced by disassembly, which is also convenient for cleaning each bin.

[0037] Preferably, Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of first filter holes 111A are provided on the first filter plate 111, and the bottom openings of the first filter holes 111A shrink inwardly, thereby preventing the fertilizer in the storage bin from leaking into the water bin, and the water in the water bin can also easily flow into the storage bin, although easily, the flow rate will still be restricted; a plurality of second filter holes 121A are provided on the second filter plate 121, and the apertures of the second filter holes 121A are adapted to the bottom openings of the first filter holes 111A, thereby preventing the fertilizer from leaking into the nutrient solution bin before it is dissolved.

[0038] Preferably, Figure 3 As shown, the top surface of the bottom plate 131 is inclined toward one side, and then a liquid outlet 130A is opened on the lower side of the bottom plate 131, the dripper 200 is connected to the liquid outlet 130A, and the central axis of the dripper 200 and the liquid outlet 130A is parallel to the top surface of the bottom plate 131, thereby avoiding water accumulation in the nutrient solution tank.

[0039] Further, such as Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 A water bottle connector is shown. The water bottle connector is arranged in the top ring body 110, and includes a carrier part 112 and an inserting part 113. The inserting part 113 is arranged on the carrier part 112. The carrier part 112 forms four long claws. Four card slots 110A are arranged on the inner wall of the top ring body 110 corresponding to the four long claws. The long claws are engaged with the card slots 110A, so that the inserting part 113 is fixed above the first filter plate 111. The inserting part 113 forms four short claws. The bottle mouth of the water bottle is plugged into the short claws. After the plugging, the bottle mouth falls into the top ring body 110, so that the water in the water bottle flows into the water tank. When the water level in the water tank is higher than the bottle mouth, the speed of water flowing out of the water bottle is limited under the action of pressure. Finally, the outflow of water in the bottle is equal to the downstream flow of water in the water tank.

[0040] In order to adapt to the size of the bottle mouth, the four short claws formed by the inserting portion 113 are made of flexible material, and a gap is provided on each claw. Figure 5 As shown, the four long claws correspond to the gaps to form water leakage openings 112A. When the short claws are squeezed and deformed, the gaps open, so that the water in the bottle can flow out through the water leakage openings 112A without being blocked by the deformed short claws.

[0041] Further, if Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 The central axis 310 and the horizontal plate 330 are shown. The ground plug 300 is in a cross shape. A central groove 300A is vertically opened at the center of the ground plug 300. After the opening, four rectangular grooves are formed around the central groove 300A. The central axis 310 is vertically arranged in the central groove 300A. A slip ring 320 is slidably connected to the central axis 310. Four horizontal plates 330 are arranged outside the slip ring 320. The narrow ends of the horizontal plates 330 pass through the corresponding rectangular grooves and are fixedly connected to the slip ring 320. Figure 7 As shown, when the ground plug 300 is inserted into the soil, the horizontal plate 330 can support the ground plug 300 so that it does not tilt. This can prevent the water in the water tank from leaking out due to the tilt, and also prevent the bottle mouth from being higher than the liquid level in the water tank after the tilt, causing the water in the water bottle to leak out and cause waste.

[0042] Typically, the water bottle is a beverage bottle.
