Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of planting devices, in particular to a planting trough. Background Art

[0002] The existing planting troughs on the market have relatively simple functions, mainly meeting basic planting needs. These planting troughs are usually simple in design, lack effective drainage systems and water-saving devices, and cannot effectively respond to watering needs under different environmental conditions. For example, when users use planting troughs for planting, they must repeatedly observe the amount of irrigation water. If the amount of irrigation water is too much, the planting trough cannot drain the water in time, and the accumulated water remains in the planting trough for a long time, which can easily cause water deterioration, mosquito breeding, odor generation, and environmental pollution. If the amount of irrigation water is too little, the plants do not get enough water, resulting in a low survival rate.

[0003] To overcome these problems, common solutions on the market include: a simple drainage hole design, opening several small holes at the bottom of the planting trough to drain excess water. Although this design is simple and easy to implement, when the amount of water is too large, the drainage efficiency is low and it is easy to cause water accumulation problems.

[0004] Furthermore, existing planters can only be irrigated with tap water or recycled water that requires high costs and high treatment standards. They lack the ability to use low-cost, non-traditional water sources, hindering water conservation. While some high-end planters may offer certain improvements, their high cost hinders widespread adoption.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, there is an urgent need for a practical planting trough in this field. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to improve the drainage efficiency of the planting trough, save water and reduce irrigation costs, the present application provides a planting trough. By designing the planting trough in layers, the planting trough can drain water efficiently and use non-traditional water sources, thereby reducing water costs and ensuring the normal growth of plants inside the planting trough, thereby achieving the effects of saving water resources, reducing maintenance costs, enriching plant types and being environmentally friendly.

[0007] This application provides a planting trough, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A planting trough comprises a planting trough body, the planting trough body comprising a water supply structure and a planting structure, the water supply structure being located on one side of the planting trough body, the planting structure being adjacent to the water supply structure and separated by a support plate, the support plate being provided with a plurality of water-permeable holes, and the planting structure being located in an inner cavity of the planting trough body;

[0009] The water supply structure includes a water supply component for water intake, and the water supply component includes at least a water supply port;

[0010] The planting structure includes a planting soil layer and an aquifer, wherein the planting soil layer is located directly above the aquifer, and a plurality of support plates separate the aquifer;

[0011] The planting trough body further includes a drainage structure, which is connected to the water storage layer of the planting structure and is located on a side of the planting structure away from the water supply structure.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the planting structure is designed into a layered type with planting on top and water storage on the bottom, so that the water storage layer is connected to the drainage structure, which is conducive to the discharge of accumulated water; and this layered type reduces the thickness of the planting soil layer, reduces the structural load, and ensures the stability of the planting trough; at the same time, not only can the plants in the planting trough be irrigated through the water supply component, but rainwater can also be directly used. The rainwater enters the water storage layer below through the planting soil layer, which not only saves water resources, but also avoids excessive irrigation and rainwater accumulation, which affects plant growth.

[0013] Preferably, the water supply structure further comprises a filter cavity, and the filter cavity is located in the inner cavity of the planting trough body;

[0014] The water supply assembly includes a water inlet, a water supply port and a water supply pipe. The water inlet is opened on one side of the top of the filter chamber. The water inlet and the water supply port are connected through the water supply pipe.

[0015] Preferably, a filler is placed inside the filter cavity, and the filler is used to filter the irrigation water entering the filter cavity from the water inlet.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, a water supply pipe and a water supply port are connected to the filter chamber, and a filler is set in the filter chamber, so that the irrigation water can be filtered at low cost during irrigation. This arrangement expands the scope of application of irrigation water. For example, some vegetable washing wastewater can be used for irrigation after filtration, further saving water.

[0017] Preferably, a permeable geotextile is laid on the support plate in the aquifer, and the permeable geotextile separates the aquifer from the planting soil layer.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, a permeable geotextile is set between the aquifer and the planting soil layer. Irrigation water is supplied to the planting soil layer from bottom to top through the permeable geotextile by capillary action in the aquifer; the permeable geotextile can also effectively allow water to flow through during rainwater irrigation, preventing the loss of soil particles and other impurities in the planting soil layer, helping to maintain the stability of the planting soil layer, and maintaining the air permeability of the soil, which is beneficial to the breathing of plant roots and promotes the normal growth of plants.

[0019] Preferably, the support plate is vertically arranged on the bottom plate of the planting trough body and is integrally formed with the planting trough body;

[0020] The total area of ​​all the water-permeable holes on each support plate accounts for 60% of the area of ​​the support plate.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the support plate and the planting trough body are perpendicular and integrally formed, which ensures the stability of the support plate, enables it to more firmly support the planting soil layer, and ensures the overall stability of the planting trough.

[0022] Preferably, the drainage structure includes a water outlet, a drain outlet and a drain pipe, the water outlet is flush with the top of the aquifer, the bottom end of the drain outlet is flush with the bottom of the aquifer, the water outlet is located inside the aquifer, and the drain outlet is located outside the inner cavity of the planting trough body.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the top water outlet of the drainage structure is flush with the top of the aquifer. When the water accumulation in the aquifer exceeds the top of the aquifer, the accumulated water can be discharged from the drainage pipe, which can effectively prevent water accumulation in the planting trough and affect the normal growth of the plants.

[0024] Preferably, the drain pipe is L-shaped, the water outlet and the drain port are connected through the drain pipe, a portion of the drain pipe is located inside the aquifer, and the other portion of the drain pipe passes through the side of the planting trough body away from the water supply structure and is located outside the inner cavity of the planting trough body.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the L-shaped design of the drain pipe makes its drainage effect more significant. At the same time, the position of the drain outlet is on the side away from the water supply structure, so that the irrigation water entering the inner cavity of the planting trough body from the water supply structure can pass through the entire aquifer through the support plate and then be discharged. It can manage the water flow more effectively and prevent the irrigation water from being excessively mixed in the aquifer. Such a structure is also conducive to the uniformity of fertilization when adding fertilizer water.

[0026] Preferably, the drainage pipe located inside the aquifer is integrally formed with the planting trough body.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the drainage pipe and the planting trough body are integrally formed to ensure the stability of the drainage structure.

[0028] Preferably, an inspection port is provided in the very center of the top of the filter chamber.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the filler inside the filter cavity can be easily replaced through the inspection port, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the irrigation water.

[0030] In summary, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0031] 1. This application designs the planting structure into a layered type with planting on top and water storage on the bottom, so that the water storage layer is connected to the drainage structure, which is conducive to the discharge of accumulated water; and this layered type reduces the thickness of the planting soil layer, reduces the structural load, and ensures the overall stability of the planting trough.

[0032] 2. This application realizes rainwater collection and recycling through reasonable design of the filter chamber, aquifer and permeable geotextile, significantly reducing the use of tap water and other high-cost water sources, achieving the purpose of water saving, and avoiding excessive irrigation and rainwater accumulation, protecting plant growth; at the same time, the dual filtration mechanism of the filter chamber and permeable geotextile effectively prevents pollutants from entering the planting soil layer, keeps the water quality clean, and reduces maintenance costs.

[0033] 3. This application provides a stable water supply environment by rationally combining the aquifer and the drainage structure, which is suitable for the growth of a variety of plants, broadens the planting range, and has broad market prospects. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0038] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. The described embodiments are only possible technical implementations of the present invention and are not all possible implementations. Those skilled in the art can fully combine the embodiments of the present invention to derive other embodiments without creative work, and these embodiments are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, a planting trough provided in this embodiment includes a planting trough body 1, which is a rectangular parallelepiped.

[0040] The planting trough body 1 includes a water supply structure and a planting structure. The water supply structure is located on one side of the planting trough body 1. Figure 1In this embodiment, the water supply structure is located on the left side of the planting trough body 1.

[0041] The planting structure is adjacent to the water supply structure and is separated by a support plate 2 . The support plate 2 is provided with a plurality of water-permeable holes 3 . The planting structure is completely located in the inner cavity of the planting trough body 1 .

[0042] The water supply structure includes a water supply assembly for water intake, and the water supply assembly includes at least a water supply port 8;

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the planting structure includes a planting soil layer 4 and an aquifer 5. The planting soil layer 4 is located directly above the aquifer 5, and a plurality of support plates 2 separate the aquifer 5.

[0044] The planting trough body 1 further includes a drainage structure, which is connected to the water storage layer 5 of the planting structure and is located on a side of the planting structure away from the water supply structure.

[0045] Irrigation water enters the inner cavity of the planting trough body 1 through the water supply port 8, passes through the support plate 2 and enters the planting structure, flows between the water storage layer 5 of the planting structure, and provides moisture for the plants in the planting soil layer 4.

[0046] In a specific embodiment, the water supply structure further includes a filter chamber 6, which is located in the inner cavity of the planting tank body 1;

[0047] The water supply assembly includes a water inlet 7 , a water supply port 8 and a water supply pipe 9 . The water inlet 7 is opened on one side of the top of the filter chamber 6 . The water inlet 7 and the water supply port 8 are connected through the water supply pipe 9 .

[0048] In this embodiment, the water inlet 7 is located at the upper left corner of the top of the filter chamber 6, and the water supply port 8 and the water supply pipe 9 are both arranged outside the inner cavity of the planting trough main body 1. The water supply port 8 is 100 mm higher than the top of the filter chamber 6. The water inlet 7 is integrally formed with the planting trough main body 1, and the water supply pipe 9 and the water inlet 7 are connected by hot melt.

[0049] Combine Figure 2 As shown, in one specific embodiment, a filler 10 is placed inside the filter chamber 6 , and the filler 10 is used to filter the irrigation water entering the filter chamber from the water inlet 7 .

[0050] In this embodiment, the filler 10 in the filter cavity 6 is 300 mm high and is made of natural gravel with a particle size of 30 mm to 50 mm, which can achieve simple and low-cost filtration.

[0051] In a specific embodiment, an inspection port 15 is provided at the center of the top of the filter chamber 6. The inspection port 15 is convenient for regular inspection and maintenance of the filler in the filter chamber to ensure the filtering effect.

[0052] In a specific embodiment, a permeable geotextile 11 is laid on the support plate 2 in the aquifer 5 , and the permeable geotextile 11 separates the aquifer 5 from the planting soil layer 4 .

[0053] The permeable geotextile 11 is adjacent to the aquifer 5 and can maintain its own humidity, so that irrigation water passes through the permeable geotextile 11 through capillary action in the aquifer 5 and supplies water from bottom to top to the planting soil layer 4 to maintain plant growth.

[0054] The support plate 2 is vertically set on the bottom plate of the planting trough body 1 and is integrally formed with the planting trough body 1.

[0055] In this embodiment, the support plates 2 in the aquifer 5 have the same specifications and are evenly erected on the bottom plate of the planting trough body 1 at intervals of 100 mm. The support plates 2 serve as a supporting structure to provide stable and firm support for the arrangement of the permeable geotextile 11 and the planting soil layer 4 directly above the aquifer 5.

[0056] The total area of ​​all the water-permeable holes 3 on each support plate 2 accounts for 60% of the area of ​​the support plate 2 .

[0057] It should be noted that if Figure 1 As shown, the filter chamber 6 and the water storage layer 5 are separated by a support plate 2, and there are no water-permeable holes 3 on the partition between the filter chamber 6 and the planting soil layer 4. The filter chamber 6, the water storage layer 5 and the planting soil layer 4 are all integrally formed.

[0058] In a specific implementation, the drainage structure includes a water outlet 12 , a drain port 13 and a drain pipe 14 .

[0059] The water outlet 12 is flush with the top of the aquifer 5 , and the bottom end of the drain outlet 13 is flush with the bottom of the aquifer 5 .

[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the water outlet 12 is flush with the upper end of the support plate 2, that is, the top of the aquifer 5 is the upper end of the support plate 2. Such a structural design separates the planting soil layer 4 from the aquifer 5, which is convenient for drainage and prevents irrigation water from soaking soil particles for a long time, causing water pollution.

[0061] The water outlet 12 is located inside the aquifer 5 , and the drain outlet 13 is located outside the inner cavity of the planting trough body 1 .

[0062] The drain pipe 14 is L-shaped, and the water outlet 12 and the drain port 13 are connected through the drain pipe 14 .

[0063] A portion of the drainage pipe 14 is located inside the aquifer 5 , and another portion of the drainage pipe 14 passes through a side of the planting trough body 1 away from the water supply structure and is located outside the inner cavity of the planting trough body 1 .

[0064] The water storage layer 5 is internally provided with a drainage pipe 14, which penetrates the water storage layer 5 upward and downward, and the part of the drainage pipe 14 close to the bottom of the water storage layer 5 extends 100mm from the rightmost side of the inner cavity of the planting groove main body 1, and the external drainage pipe 14 is flexibly connected with the internal drainage pipe 14 of the water storage layer 5 by a socket and spigot rubber ring.

[0065] The internal drainage pipe 14 of the water storage layer 5 is integrally formed between the planting groove main body 1.

[0066] In the embodiment, the materials of the planting groove main body 1 and the support plate 2 are both 10mm-thick glass fiber reinforced plastic, which are made by an integral modular manufacturing method.

[0067] The implementation principle of the embodiment is as follows: when the water supply assembly is used to irrigate the planting groove, the irrigation water enters the filter cavity 6 through the water supply port 8, the water supply pipe 9 and the water inlet 7 in sequence, is filtered by the natural gravel filler in the filter cavity 6, and then passes through the support plate 2 to enter the water storage layer 5, flows through the support plate 2 inside the water storage layer 5, and is supplied to the planting soil layer 4 from bottom to top through the capillary action in the water storage layer 5, the water permeable geotextile 11 and the planting soil layer 4, when the irrigation is excessive, the excess water in the water storage layer 5 flows into the drainage pipe 14 from the water outlet 12, and then is discharged from the drainage port 13 and finally is discharged to the drainage pipe network, ditch and the like around the planting groove.

[0068] When rainwater is used to irrigate the planting groove, the rainwater passes through the planting soil layer 4 and the water permeable geotextile 11 to enter the water storage layer 5 below, the soil particles are blocked in the planting soil layer 4 by the water permeable geotextile 11, when the rainwater in the water storage layer exceeds the horizontal height of the water outlet 12, the excess rainwater flows into the drainage pipe 14 from the water outlet 12, and then is discharged from the drainage port 13, thereby avoiding the waterlogging phenomenon caused by excessive rainwater, improving the growth conditions of plants, and achieving the functions of saving water resources, reducing maintenance costs, preventing water body deterioration and efficient drainage.

[0069] The design of the water storage layer 5 provides a stable water supply environment, is suitable for the growth of various plants, widens the planting range, and enriches the types of plants.

[0070] The above are preferred embodiments of the application, which do not limit the protection scope of the application, and therefore: any equivalent changes made on the basis of the structure, shape and principle of the application should be covered within the protection scope of the application.
