Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of planting devices, and relates to an auxiliary planting device, and more particularly to a column-supported independent planting pot base that can pre-store planting solution. Background Technology

[0002] Planting pots refer to various containers used for planting, including flower pots, planting boxes, terracotta pots, and plastic pots. Plants in planting pots that are left unattended for extended periods often suffer from poor growth or even die due to insufficient water and nutrients. Therefore, introducing planting solutions (including water and nutrient solutions) to the vicinity of the planting pot is a primary prerequisite for solving this problem. Firstly, the simplest method is to use a tap water network to introduce irrigation water, but this method is heavily dependent on the location of the water source, making it difficult to precisely control the water volume and provide additional planting solutions to the planting pot. Secondly, existing self-watering planting pots supply planting solutions to the plants from the bottom by placing a liquid storage container directly under the planting pot and using a water-absorbing rope to supply the plant with planting solution from the bottom through capillary action. For example, patents CN201721157059, CN201721804192, CN201820496574, CN201822148699, and CN202220788535 all use this bottom-storage method. However, the strong coupling between the planting area and the slurry storage area, being a bottom-supply method, suffers from drawbacks such as poor aeration, excessive water content at the bottom of the planting pot, difficulty in controlling the slurry supply volume and speed, and the need for matching planting pots and slurry storage containers. The applicant's previous patents CN2023232626988 and CN2023116295810 have addressed this issue by dividing the internal space of the planting pot. However, this technical solution requires dividing the internal space during the planting pot production process, making it unsuitable for existing planting pots. Another solution is to place a separate, conventionally shaped slurry storage container next to the planting pot to introduce the planting solution, reducing the coupling between the planting area and the slurry storage area. However, this separate container not only occupies additional placement space but also significantly affects aesthetics, with the drawbacks becoming more pronounced when there are many planting pots. The applicant's previous patent applications, CN202410268419.9 and CN202420453324.X, have partially solved the placement space problem by setting up auxiliary planting devices with special shapes. However, this solution still results in occupying a certain amount of space around the planting pot, and the amount of liquid output is proportional to the amount of space occupied, limiting the expansion capacity of the liquid storage capacity. In addition, existing planting pot drainage trays or water receiving trays are usually shallow, capable of storing a small amount of liquid from the planting pot. Their purpose is to prevent the liquid from contaminating the supporting platform, hence their shallow depth. If the drainage tray were too deep, the bottom of the planting pot would be submerged in the liquid for a long time. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of existing solutions and achieve a planting solution storage effect that does not affect the drainage and aeration of the planting pot, can store more planting solution, and does not occupy too much placement space, thus solving the problems of water supply for plants and scientific supply of planting solution in situations where plants are unattended for extended periods, this utility model breaks with conventional thinking and discloses a column-supported independent planting pot base that can pre-store planting solution. It serves as a drip tray and a base for supporting the planting pot, and can also pre-store a large amount of planting solution. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0004] The present invention discloses a column-supported independent planting pot base capable of pre-storing planting solution, comprising a base body; the base body being a container capable of supporting planting pots and pre-storing planting solution; having a storage space for storing planting solution (such as water, nutrient solution, etc.); having a column support structure that prevents the planting pot from being immersed in the stored planting solution for supporting the planting pot and providing a good ventilation environment for the bottom of the planting pot, the column support structure supporting the weight of the planting pot by the columns; and having an open opening for adding or removing planting solution.

[0005] Furthermore, optionally, the top support surface of the column support structure has a leakage storage space formed by an outer edge or recessed structure to collect a certain amount of leakage from the planting pot.

[0006] Furthermore, optionally, the column of the column support structure is hollow inside; the bottom end of the side wall of the hollow column is provided with a water passage hole with a filter screen and the top end of the side wall of the hollow column is provided with a vent hole, so that the space inside the hollow column is connected with the liquid storage space of the base.

[0007] Furthermore, optionally, the columns of the column support structure are connected to the base sidewall by fasteners to enhance structural stability.

[0008] Furthermore, optionally, the base has a storage scale or a liquid volume measuring tool.

[0009] Furthermore, optionally, the column support structure includes multiple columns, which are connected to each other or to the container wall as required by the stress to enhance stability.

[0010] Furthermore, optionally, the liquid storage space is divided into multiple liquid storage sub-spaces by a partition for storing different types or concentrations of planting solution, and different planting solutions are supplied to the planting pots through different openings; the liquid storage space or sub-space has a storage scale or integrates a liquid storage volume measurement tool.

[0011] Furthermore, optionally, the base body also integrates a liquid supply component, which is suspended or fixed on the base body to introduce the planting liquid in the storage container into the upper part of the planting pot to achieve a top-down irrigation effect.

[0012] Furthermore, the liquid supply component is an automatic water-absorbing liquid supply device, such as a water-absorbing rope, water-absorbing rod, capillary suction tube, etc.; the automatic water-absorbing liquid supply device can be configured in terms of thickness, length, and quantity as needed. Alternatively, the liquid supply component is an active liquid supply device; the active liquid supply device triggers the active liquid supply action based on certain triggering conditions.

[0013] Furthermore, optionally, the active liquid supply component is an intelligent active liquid supply device, which consists of a sensor unit, a liquid supply execution unit, a decision unit, a network connection unit, and a power supply unit. Based on the data collected by the sensor unit, the decision unit determines and activates the liquid supply execution unit to supply liquid to the planting pot. It can also be connected to smartphones, controllers, and other devices for control and settings. The power supply unit is configured to be powered by a solar panel or a battery.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. This utility model breaks through the conventional thinking that water trays can only be used to collect a small amount of water leakage from planting pots. By using an independent container that can pre-store planting solution as the base of the planting pot to provide water and nutrient solution, it not only meets the functional requirement of collecting water leakage from planting pots, but also allows excess water leakage to overflow into the storage space without contaminating the display surface. It also allows a large amount of planting solution to be pre-stored near the planting pots without occupying much display space. Moreover, the storage capacity can be expanded by increasing the height of the base without increasing the occupied area, thus providing a foundation for self-watering or condition-triggered active water supply, and effectively solving the problem of planting solution storage when there is no one to care for it for a long time.

[0016] 2. The planting pot base of this utility model is an independent auxiliary planting device that can be moved and transported separately to add planting solution or clean the planting pot, making it convenient to use. It eliminates the limitation that many existing self-watering pots (such as the Morning Pot) and intelligent planting devices need to be used in conjunction with planting pots. The planting pot base of this utility model does not have strict size requirements for the planting pots it supports, and can be used for various existing or newly made planting pots of different shapes and materials, with a wide range of applications.

[0017] 3. Traditional top-and-bottom structure self-absorbing pots use a side-mounting method, which results in the pot being in a state of poor air circulation at the bottom, thus affecting plant respiration. In contrast, this invention uses a support structure that prevents the pot from being immersed in the stored planting solution, thereby reducing the coupling between the planting area and the solution storage area. This allows for good air circulation at the bottom of the pot, which is more conducive to plant respiration and healthy growth.

[0018] 4. The open-type design of this utility model allows the liquid leaked from the planting pot to be recycled back into the liquid storage container, preventing the liquid from the planting pot from soiling the table.

[0019] 5. This utility model integrates the liquid supply component into the base of the planting pot to achieve self-supply or condition-triggered active liquid supply. It is a top-down, flow-adjustable irrigation or soaking mode, which has a better liquid supply effect than bottom self-supply and basically avoids the common problem of root rot caused by excessive water content at the bottom of the planting pot. In addition, this automatic liquid supply method can reduce the frequency and time of watering, reduce the management burden of plant planting, and automatically adjust the liquid supply program according to the plant's water preference and changes in the growth environment. It can solve the water supply problem and the scientific supply of liquid for plants in the case of long-term unattended conditions, which is conducive to their long-term healthy growth.
