Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of plant planting devices, and more specifically, to a flower box water level indicator structure and a flower box. Background Art

[0002] A traditional flower box is an open-top box composed of uprights, side baffles, and a bottom plate. An isolation plate is installed inside the box, with the lower portion of the isolation plate forming a water storage cavity and the upper portion of the isolation plate forming a soil cavity.

[0003] In actual use, considering the aesthetic appearance of the flower boxes, some flower boxes are not made transparent. This will make it impossible to visually observe the water volume in the water storage chamber at the lower level, making it inconvenient to observe the water storage volume, which needs to be improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] The embodiments of the present application disclose a water level indicator structure for a flower box and a flower box.

[0039] Example:

[0040] A flower box water level indicator structure, see Figure 1 and Figure 2The mounting base 1 includes a mounting base 1 and an indicator 2. A positioning ring 3 is provided on the outer end wall of the mounting base 1, located near the lower end. When the mounting base 1 is installed, the positioning ring 3 is used to limit the amount of mounting base 1 that can be inserted. The mounting base 1 has a channel 11 extending through its upper and lower ends, with the upper end of the channel 11 being flared. A guide plate 4 is fixed within the channel 11 and is provided with a circular guide hole 41 extending from top to bottom. The guide plate 4 also has a plurality of water holes 42, which are distributed circumferentially around the axis of the guide hole 41.

[0041] The indicator 2 is located in the channel 11. The indicator 2 includes an indicator body 21 and a buoyancy body 22 arranged at the lower end of the indicator body 21. The indicator body 21 includes a mounting portion 211 for connecting the buoyancy body 22, a slide portion 212 fixed to the mounting portion 211, and an indicator portion 213 arranged at an end of the slide portion 212 away from the mounting portion 211. The lower end of the mounting portion 211 is provided with a mounting groove 5, and the mounting groove 5 is used for the buoyancy body 22 to be embedded and fixed. The buoyancy body 22 is an EVA foam block, an air bag or a hollow plastic block. The buoyancy body 22 is embedded in the mounting groove 5 by interference fit. Alternatively, the buoyancy body 22 can also be installed by bonding. Under the action of the buoyancy of the stored water, the buoyancy body 22 makes the upper end of the indicator body 21 protrude from the upper end of the channel 11, and makes the upper end of the indicator body 21 move up and down following the change of the water level of the stored water.

[0042] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The slide rod 212 passes through the guide hole 41, leaving a gap between the guide hole 41 and the slide rod 212. The guide hole 41 is used to position the slide rod 212, reducing its deflection as it moves with changes in the water level, thereby providing a more accurate indication of the indicator body 21. When the indicator 2 is installed in the channel 11, a gap is left between the indicator 2 and the inner wall of the channel 11 for water to pass through. In conjunction with the water hole 42 of the guide plate 4, when water needs to be increased through the channel 11, water flows along the channel 11 through the water hole 42 and the gap between the channel 11 and the indicator 2.

[0043] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4The indicating portion 213 is detachably connected to the sliding portion 212. The specific structure is that an insertion rod 6 is provided at one end of the sliding portion 212 away from the mounting portion 211, and a corresponding insertion groove 7 is provided on the indicating portion 213 for the insertion rod 6 to be inserted, and the insertion rod 6 and the insertion groove 7 are interference fit. The end of the insertion rod 6 away from the sliding portion 212 is tapered, and an air guide hole 8 is provided on the outer wall of the insertion rod 6, and the air guide hole 8 extends along the insertion direction of the insertion rod 6. The tapered setting of the end of the insertion rod 6 forms a guide, and the design of the air guide hole 8 allows the gas in the insertion groove 7 to be discharged in time when the insertion rod 6 is inserted into the insertion groove 7, making the operation of inserting the insertion rod 6 into the insertion groove 7 more convenient. Alternatively, the indicating portion 213 and the sliding portion 212 can also be detachable by means of a threaded connection.

[0044] This embodiment also provides a flower box, see Figure 5 , including a box body 9, an isolation plate 10 is installed in the box body 9, and the isolation plate 10 divides the box body 9 into an upper and lower layer, the lower layer forms a water storage chamber, and the upper layer is a soil chamber. The isolation plate 10 has a through hole that connects the upper and lower layers. The size of the through hole is small. When soil is added to the soil chamber, only a very small amount of small particles of soil will pass through the through hole into the water storage chamber, which will not affect the use. In actual use, if it is necessary to reduce the passage of soil through the through hole, a filter layer can be placed on the upper end face of the isolation plate 10. The filter layer can be made of non-woven fabric or filter cotton. The flower box also includes the above-mentioned flower box water level indicator structure, and the isolation plate 10 is provided with a mounting hole 12 for installing the mounting seat 1. When the mounting seat 1 is installed in the mounting hole 12 of the flower box, the lower end face of the positioning ring 3 abuts against the upper end face of the isolation plate 10 for positioning, and the lower end of the channel 11 is connected to the water storage chamber of the flower box, so that the buoyancy body 22 can contact the stored water. In actual use, the mounting base 1 is located near the side wall of the box body 9, and the upper end of the mounting base 1 is in an easily observable position, thereby facilitating timely observation of the position status of the indicator 2.

[0045] The working principle of this embodiment is:

[0046] When the flower box is in use, when there is insufficient water in the water storage chamber, the upper end of the indicator 2 is in a lower state. When the upper end of the indicator 2 is completely located in the channel 11, the water storage chamber is in a water-free state. The user can understand the water storage amount in the water storage chamber according to the protrusion amount of the indicator part 213, making the use of the flower box more convenient.

[0047] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
