[0002] Rock desertification refers to the phenomenon of land impoverishment caused by factors such as soil erosion, water and soil loss, and vegetation degradation. Due to its special geographical and climatic conditions, rocky desertification areas usually face problems such as water resource shortage, poor soil, and sparse vegetation, which pose great challenges to the growth of vegetation and the restoration of the ecological environment. To address these problems and ensure the survival and healthy growth of plants in these harsh environments, effective water retention measures must be adopted.

This method is difficult to control the water absorption of the water retaining agents, easily causes waste, and some water retaining agents cannot be fully soaked, resulting in poor water retention effects. In addition, the uneven distribution of water retaining agents and water may also affect their water retention performance. And in traditional methods, operators need to scatter water retaining agents first and then water, or need to pre-soak water retaining agents in a separate container, and these operations are cumbersome and time-consuming.

[0004] Therefore, the utility model provides a water retention device for plant roots. Content of the Utility Model

[0024] Embodiment 1

[0025] Refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a water retention device for the roots of plants includes a support mechanism 1 and a protection component 2, and is characterized in that: the support mechanism 1 includes an immersion tank 11 rotatably connected symmetrically, a tank cover 12 detachably installed above the immersion tank 11, a baffle 13 fixedly connected to the outer end of the immersion tank 11, a moving plate 14 slidably connected to the through port at the inner end of the immersion tank 11, and a plurality of anchor nails 15 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the immersion tank 11; the protection component 2 is provided with a plurality of buckling members 21 on the side of the tank cover 12, and a protection ring cover 22 detachably installed on the upper end of the tank cover 12 through the plurality of buckling members 21.

[0026] The immersion tank 11 and the tank cover 12 are in an arc-shaped structure. The two ends at the lower part inside the immersion tank 11 are in an inclined surface structure, and the inclined surface is high at the side and low in the middle. In this way, the water retention solution can flow more smoothly to the bottom end position in the middle of the immersion tank 11 and be discharged through the through port at the inner end of the immersion tank 11. The immersion tank 11 can be provided with an insertion port, and the bottom end of the tank cover 12 is provided with an insertion tube matching the insertion port to realize the detachable connection between the immersion tank 11 and the tank cover 12.

[0027] The rear ends of the two immersion tanks 11 are rotatably connected through a hinge mechanism. One of the immersion tanks 11 is provided with a socket 111 at the front end, and the socket 111 communicates with the inside of the immersion tank 11. The other immersion tank 11 is provided with an insertion tube 112 matching the socket at the front end, and the insertion tube 112 communicates with the inside of the immersion tank 11. In this way, when one of the immersion tanks 11 is filled with water, when the water level reaches the position of the insertion tube 112, the water will flow along the insertion tube into the other immersion tank 11.

[0028] On both sides of the inner end opening of the soaking box 11, there are slide rails; on both sides of the moving plate 14, there are sliders that cooperate with the slide rails, and a pulling block 141 is provided at the outer end of the moving plate 14.

[0029] The buckle member 21 includes a plurality of connecting grooves 211 fixedly connected to the side of the box cover 12, a pressing block 212 slidably connected in the connecting grooves 211, and a limiting rod 213 provided on the connecting grooves 211. The limiting rod 213 can be a threaded limiting rod. The pressing block 212 has a right-angled structure, with one right-angled side slidably connected in the connecting groove 211 and the other right-angled side detachably connected to the protective ring cover 22.

[0030] The protective ring cover 22 is detachably connected by a plurality of ring covers 221 with diameters gradually decreasing from bottom to top. The detachable connection method can adopt detachable connection methods such as Velcro, and gaps 222 that are aligned with each other are provided at the side ends of each ring cover 221. The ring cover 221 can be made of plastic cloth.

[0031] Embodiment 2

[0032] The operating principle of the present utility model:

[0033] When an operator uses this device to retain water for the roots of plants in rocky desertification areas, first dig the soil around the plant to dig out a mud groove that can accommodate this device. The operator opens the soaking boxes 11 on both sides of this device, passes through the plant and then closes them, and fixes the device in the mud groove through the anchor nails 15.

[0034] The operator opens the box cover 12, pours an appropriate amount of water-retaining agent into the soaking box 11, and then pours water into the soaking box 11 and waits for a period of time to fully soak the water-retaining agent. After the water-retaining agent is fully soaked, the operator pulls up the moving plate 14 through the pulling block 141, so that the liquid with the water-retaining agent flows out from the inner end opening of the soaking box 11 to the periphery of the plant roots. After the water-retaining agent liquid has flowed out, press the moving plate 14 to close the opening, and cover the box cover 12 back onto the soaking box 11. Then the operator fills the area surrounded by the two soaking boxes 11 with soil so that the soil covers the periphery of the soaking boxes 11, and at the same time ensures that the baffle 13 is above the soil layer to prevent the device from sinking, and appropriately waters the soil. The area surrounded by the two soaking boxes 11 can play a role in storing water and reducing the diffusion of water sources.

[0035] After the soaking box 11 is fixed, the operator removes the inner ring cover 221 according to the diameter of the plant stem, so that the protective ring cover 22 can pass through the plant stem. Then, the slit 222 of the protective ring cover 22 is opened so that the protective ring cover 22 can pass through the plant stem, and the protective ring cover 22 is placed on the box cover 12, and then the pressing block 212 is pressed to press the pressing block 212 tightly against the edge of the protective ring cover 22, and the limiting rod 213 is rotated to support the pressing block 212 to prevent it from moving. All the buckles 21 are operated as above to ensure that the protective ring cover 22 is fixed on the protective ring cover 22. By removing or adjusting the ring cover 221, the protective ring cover 22 passes through the plant stem, and then closes it to ensure that it can cover the water retention device and the soil layer, which can reduce the direct evaporation of water and play a protective role.

[0036] Similarly, the limiting rod 213 can be arranged above the pressing block 212, and a threaded hole is arranged on the connecting groove 211. The tightness of the pressing block 212 can be adjusted by rotating the limiting rod 213.

[0037] The utility model not only ensures that the water retaining agent fully absorbs water and effectively retains water, saves water, simplifies the operation process, but also reduces water evaporation, and is suitable for plants with different diameters.
