[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0020] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a water-retaining and root-protecting device for plants to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art. The water collector and the water storage tank are arranged respectively up and down, with a large space between the two. The water collector is made of breathable material with good overall permeability, which can prevent the roots and stems of plants from rotting.

[0021] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0022] The utility model provides a plant water-retaining and root-protecting device, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a water collector 1 arranged near the ground. The water collector 1 is made of existing breathable materials, so that the roots and stems of the plants 5 have good air permeability and prevent the roots and stems from rotting. Because the material itself belongs to the prior art, the utility model will not be described in detail. The top of the water collector 1 is open for collecting water, and the bottom is provided with planting holes 102 for the plants 5 to pass through. The lower roots and stems of the plants 5 are located below the water collector 1, and the upper branches and leaves grow above the ground after passing through the planting holes 102; a water storage tank 3 is arranged below the water collector 1, which is arranged around the outside of the root system of the plants 5, and the water storage tank 3 is connected to the water collector through a plurality of communicating vessels 2. 1 is connected, so that the water collected by the water collector 1 can enter the water storage 3 through the connecting vessel 2 for temporary storage. The water storage 3 is made of a decomposable material. Therefore, during the production process of the plant 5, the water storage 3 can provide a certain water retention function. It is made of a decomposable material, and its material also belongs to the prior art. It can slowly decompose in the soil, and the decomposition time will not be too long. It belongs to the prior art, so it can temporarily store the collected water in the early stage. It will decompose during the production process of the plant 5. After it decomposes, the water stored in it is released into the soil at the root position of the plant 5, and the root of the plant 5 is watered in a targeted manner. Since there is a certain space between the water collector 1 and the water storage 3, and the water storage 3 is arranged around the outside of the root system of the plant 5, compared with the traditional closed structure, the utility model has better air permeability and can effectively prevent the root of the plant 5 from rotting.

[0023] In order to make the connection between the water collector 1 and the water storage tank 3 smoother and at the same time make the space permeability between the two better, the communicating vessel 2 of the utility model adopts multiple vertically arranged tubular structures, and multiple water inlet holes 101 are opened at the bottom of the water collector 1. The top of the communicating vessel 2 is connected with the water inlet holes 101 at the corresponding positions, and the bottom of the communicating vessel 2 is connected with the top of the water storage tank 3, so that the water collected by the water collector 1 can enter the water collector 1 through the water inlet holes 101, and finally flow into the water storage tank 3 for temporary storage.

[0024] Since it takes a certain amount of time for the water storage tank 3 to decompose, and the plants 5 also need water production in the early stage, the utility model has a unique design of a water releasing device. The water releasing device of the utility model preferably comprises a water releasing cotton thread 4. A plurality of fine water permeable holes are provided on the side wall of the communicating vessel 2 close to the plant 5. The water releasing cotton thread 4 is fixedly and sealedly penetrated in the water permeable holes. The part of the water releasing cotton thread 4 located outside the communicating vessel 2 is buried in the soil close to the plant 5. Therefore, when the water from the water collector 1 flows into the water storage tank 3 through the communicating vessel 2, the part of the water releasing cotton thread 4 located inside the communicating vessel 2 will absorb a part of the water flowing through the communicating vessel 2, and guide it to the external soil through the water releasing cotton thread 4, thereby providing a stable early irrigation effect.

[0025] The structure of the water collector 1 of the utility model is not limited to a rectangular groove structure with an opening on the top, and can also be set to a circular structure or a polygonal structure, without specific limitation.

[0026] In order to provide certain nutrients during the growth of the plant 5, the utility model further improves the structure of the water reservoir 3, and divides the interior of the water reservoir 3 into a water-retaining layer 302 and a nutrient layer 301. The nutrient layer 301 is provided with nutrients required by the plant 5, which are all existing substances. For example, the nutrients can be existing solid granular fertilizers, or nutrient solutions containing ingredients required for the growth of the plant 5. The water-retaining layer 302 and the nutrient layer 301 are both annular structures, and the nutrient layer 301 is arranged on the inner side of the water-retaining layer 302. The nutrient layer 301 and the water-retaining layer 302 are separated by an annular membrane. The annular membrane is a decomposable film. The material of the film is the same as that of the water reservoir 3. Both are materials in the prior art and can be decomposed in the soil. The connecting vessel 2 is used to connect the water collector 1 and the water-retaining layer 302. When the water reservoir 3 decomposes, the water in the water-retaining layer 302 flushes the nutrients in the mixed nutrient layer 301 inwardly. After mixing, the roots and stems of the plant 5 are irrigated and fertilized to promote their growth.

[0027] The present invention uses specific examples to illustrate the principle and implementation of the present invention. The above examples are only used to help understand the method and core idea of ​​the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of ​​the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
