[0028] In order to help those skilled in the art better understand the present invention, the following will provide a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 3 , a modular plant planting unit, comprising:

[0031] The support plate body 1 is provided with a water storage tank 2 and a planting box 3 on the upper part of the support plate body 1. The water storage tank 2 is located in the middle of the upper end of the support plate body 1. The planting boxes 3 are detachably provided at the upper end of the support plate body 1 and at both ends of the water storage tank 2.

[0032] Specifically, the water storage tank 2 includes a water tank body 4, the top of the water tank body 4 is fixedly connected to a water inlet pipe 5, the bottom of the water tank body 4 is fixedly connected to a siphon tube 6, the siphon tube 6 is arranged in an inverted U shape, one end of the siphon tube 6 extends to the bottom of the inner side of the water tank body 4, and the other end of the siphon tube 6 extends to the outside of the bottom of the water tank body 4. Overflow windows are opened on both sides of the water tank body 4, and the bend at the top of the siphon tube 6 is higher than the lowest point of the overflow window;

[0033] Specifically, the planting box 3 includes a planting box body 7, which is vertically plugged into the end of the water tank body 4. A planting module 11 and a bracket base 12 are respectively provided inside the water tank body 4. The bottom of the inner side of the planting box body 7 is filled with a water storage module 10, wherein the water storage module 10 is a lightweight expanded clay. An L-shaped drainage groove is provided at one end of the planting box body 7 close to the water tank 2, and a water control component 9 is provided in the L-shaped drainage groove. The water control component 9 is used to seal the L-shaped drainage groove after the liquid inside the planting box body 7 reaches a certain level. An overflow hole 8 is provided at the end of the planting box body 7 away from the water tank 2.

[0034] It can be seen that water can be supplied to the water tank body 4 through the water inlet pipe 5. When the water level line is higher than the overflow window at the end of the water tank body 4, the water inside the water tank body 4 flows out through the overflow window and is drained to the inside of the seed box body 7 through the L-shaped drainage groove opened at the end of the seed box body 7, thereby supplying water to the planting module 11 inside the seed box body 7. The steel wire or other bracket can be pulled through the bracket base 12 to facilitate plant climbing; the water control component 9 moves synchronously with the water level line inside the seed box body 7, and finally blocks the L-shaped drainage groove, so that the water inside the water tank body 4 no longer flows outward through the overflow window, and then the water level in the water tank body 4 continues to rise, forcing the water level in the water tank body 4 to rise to a height that meets the siphon, and then the water inside the water tank body 4 is discharged downward through the siphon principle and the siphon pipe 6; at the same time, during the period when the water control component 9 blocks the L-shaped drainage groove, if water accidentally enters the seed box body 7, the excess water can be discharged outward through the overflow hole 8.

[0035] Multiple devices can be arranged up and down on a wall, and the drainage outlet connecting pipe of the siphon pipe 6 at the bottom of the high device is connected to the water inlet pipe 5 at the top of the low device, thereby achieving the effect of adding water to the low device.

[0036] Furthermore, the water control assembly 9 includes a water inlet grille plate 13 and a float member 14. The water inlet grille plate 13 is fixed at the top position of the inner side of the L-shaped drainage groove. The float member 14 is located inside the L-shaped drainage groove and below the water inlet grille plate 13. The upper end of the float member 14 is fixedly connected to a float raft 15. When the float member 14 floats up, the water inlet grille plate 13 is blocked by the float raft 15. A basket slide rail 16 is provided on the inner wall of the L-shaped drainage groove. The float raft 15 is vertically slidably connected to the basket slide rail 16, and the movement of the float raft 15 is guided by the basket slide rail 16.

[0037] It can be seen that when the water tank body 4 drains water into the seed box body 7 through the overflow window, the water level inside the seed box body 7 gradually rises, and at the same time, the float member 14 floats up with the water surface. When the float member 14 rises to a certain height, the float raft 15 above the float member 14 is used to block the water inlet grille plate 13, so that the water in the water tank body 4 no longer flows into the seed box body 7, so that the water gradually accumulates inside the water tank body 4, so that the water level inside the water tank body 4 rises to a height that meets the siphoning requirement, and then the water inside the water tank body 4 is discharged downward through the siphon principle in conjunction with the siphon tube 6.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] The modular plant planting unit provided in Example 1 is further optimized, specifically, Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of planting modules 11 and support bases 12 are arranged inside each seed box 7, and the planting modules 11 and support bases 12 are arranged alternately.

[0040] Example 3:

[0041] The modular plant planting unit provided in Example 1 is further optimized. Specifically, the water tank body 4 and the planting box body 7 are made of EPS foam plastic.

[0042] Through this structural design, the majority of all enclosure components are made of recyclable, easily moldable EPS foam. Considering the entire product lifecycle, this solution offers a higher overall recycling rate. Furthermore, the enclosure can be made from discarded packaging from home appliances, reducing EPS waste and contributing to both carbon conservation and carbon sequestration.
