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 surface-supported independent planting pot base that can pre-store planting liquid. 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 leading to root rot, 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 slurry, reducing the coupling between the planting area and the slurry storage area. However, this separate container not only occupies additional 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 surrounding space, this utility model breaks through conventional thinking and discloses a planting pot base that can pre-store planting solution. It can serve 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] This utility model discloses an independent planting pot base capable of pre-storing planting solution, comprising a base body; the base body is an independent, non-binding container that supports planting pots and can pre-store planting solution; it has a storage space for storing planting solution; it has a surface support structure that prevents the planting pot from being immersed in the stored planting solution, for supporting the planting pot and providing good ventilation and aeration for the bottom of the planting pot, the surface support structure being supported by a panel supported by the side wall of the base body or a support structure on the side wall, and the panel supporting the weight of the planting pot; it has an opening for adding or removing planting solution. The planting solution refers to a liquid used for planting, including water, nutrient solution, etc.

[0005] Furthermore, the surface support structure is a movable and detachable structure, with the movable and detachable support panel pressing against the side wall of the base body, and the side wall of the base body providing force support.

[0006] Furthermore, the supporting surface of the surface support structure itself has a concave structure or a concave structure formed with the side wall to prevent all the leakage of the planting pots it supports from flowing out of the base.

[0007] Furthermore, the opening is an opening on the support surface of the surface support structure or an opening formed by a hollow tube structure on the support surface, and the hollow tube structure can be configured as a detachable structure.

[0008] Furthermore, optionally, the base has a storage scale or a liquid volume measuring tool. Optionally, the base also includes a handle or grip for easy carrying.

[0009] 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 sub-spaces have storage scales or integrate liquid volume measurement tools.

[0010] 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.

[0011] Further, optionally, the liquid supply component is an automatic water-absorbing liquid supply device; the automatic water-absorbing liquid supply device is configured in terms of thickness, length, and quantity as needed. The automatic water-absorbing liquid supply device refers to an object or device that can utilize natural forces such as capillary force, gravity, and soil wetting force to achieve self-absorbing delivery of planting liquid without relying on a power source, such as water-absorbing ropes, water-absorbing rods, capillary water-absorbing tubes, etc.

[0012] Further, optionally, the liquid supply component is an active liquid supply device; the active liquid supply device triggers the active liquid supply action through certain triggering conditions. The active liquid supply device refers to a device that relies on a power source and actively transfers water from the base body to the soil under certain triggering conditions. Various existing micro water pumps can be used as active liquid supply devices; the triggering condition refers to a condition that can control the active liquid supply device to perform liquid supply actions such as opening and closing, including but not limited to triggering conditions that can be achieved by existing conventional technical means, such as the user plugging / unplugging the plug, pressing a button, reaching a predetermined time, the timing ending, detecting that the soil moisture is lower than a certain threshold, the pressure difference is higher than a certain threshold, control via infrared remote control, operation control via Bluetooth connection, operation control via the Internet, and RFID sensing, etc.

[0013] Further, optionally, the active liquid supply component is an intelligent active liquid supply device; the intelligent active liquid supply device includes a sensor unit, a liquid supply execution unit, a decision unit, and a power supply unit. Based on data collected by the sensor unit, the decision unit determines and activates the liquid supply execution unit to supply liquid to the planting pot. The power supply unit is configured to be powered by a solar panel or a battery. The intelligent active liquid supply device also includes a network connection unit to connect to a controller for controlling and setting the intelligent active liquid supply device. The controller includes devices or apparatuses such as smartphones with specific applications installed, dedicated remote controls, etc. The network connection unit is connected to the controller wirelessly or via a wired connection.

[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 leaking liquid from planting pots. By using an independent container that can pre-store planting liquid as the base of the planting pot to provide water and nutrient solution, it not only meets the functional requirement of collecting leaking liquid from planting pots, but also allows a large amount of planting liquid to be pre-stored near the planting pot without occupying much space. Moreover, the liquid 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 liquid supply, and effectively solving the problem of planting liquid storage in situations where no one is present 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 surface support structure of this utility model uses the side wall of the liquid storage container as the supporting force structure, which is simple in structure and low in manufacturing cost; if the support panel and the side wall of the container are non-sealed structures, the leakage of the planting pot can also be recycled into the liquid storage container, preventing the leakage of 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.

[0026] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, outlines two preferred embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0027] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of this utility model. Therefore, the illustrations only show the components related to this utility model and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the shape, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex. The color, material and surface pattern of the device are not shown in the figure. In the actual implementation, different materials or combinations such as plastic, composite materials, ceramics, and porcelain can be used. The surface pattern can adopt various different decorative effects, and the color can adopt various different colors and be combined with transparent, semi-transparent and opaque color effects. The various components or parts of the device can be integrally molded or processed into independent components and then connected and assembled by bolts, buckles, adhesives and other methods.

[0028] Example 1: A simple surface-supported planting pot base that can be pre-stored with planting solution, one structural design of which can be referred to Figure 1 The cross-sectional view shown illustrates the implementation effect as follows: Figure 2 As shown. The simple surface-supported planting pot base with pre-stored planting solution includes a base body 100. The base body is cylindrical, with a hollow interior forming a storage space 300 for pre-stored planting solution. It consists of a bottom surface 110, side walls 111, and a movable, detachable support panel 112. The side walls 111 are transparent and have graduations 161 for measuring the internal liquid volume. The side walls have integrally formed protruding support columns 117, with at least four columns. The height of the side wall support columns 117 is slightly shorter than the side walls. The support panel 112 is placed on 117 and supported by 117. The support panel 112 can be easily opened to add planting solution and clean the interior. 130 is an opening on the panel 112, providing an opening and ventilation hole for the non-integrated liquid supply assembly. The support panel 112 and side wall 111 are not sealed, allowing planting solution to be poured directly onto the panel. The planting solution flows into the storage space through gaps and openings 130; excess liquid from the planting pot can also flow into the storage space. In this embodiment, the liquid supply device is a non-integrated self-absorbing rope 600, meaning it is not part of the base of the utility model but is obtained through other means (such as separate purchase or self-preparation) and then used with the planting pot base. One end of the self-absorbing rope is immersed in the bottom of the storage space 300, and the other end is buried in the soil of the planting pot 700. When the humidity in the planting pot is too low, the planting solution stored in the base will provide water or nutrient solution to the planting pot through the self-absorbing rope.

[0029] Example 2: A cohesive curved surface support type smart planting pot base with pre-stored planting solution, one structural design of which can be referred to Figure 3 The cross-sectional view shown illustrates the design effect of its implementation. Figure 4 As shown. A specific structural design is as follows. Figure 5 As shown, its corresponding rendering image is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, its effects are as follows: Figure 7 As shown. The cohesive curved surface support type intelligent planting pot base with pre-stored planting solution includes a base body 100 and an integrated intelligent liquid dispenser assembly 121. The base body is cylindrical in shape, with a hollow interior forming a liquid storage space 300 for pre-stored planting solution. It is composed of a bottom surface 110, side walls 111 and 117, a support surface 112, and a support column 115. The side walls are transparent and have scale lines 161 on them to measure the amount of liquid stored inside. The side walls 117 and 111 are made of the same material and are integrally molded, except that the side wall 117 is slightly shorter. The support panel 112 is placed on 117 and the support column 115, and the support force is provided by the support side walls 117 and the support column 115. The support panel 112 can be easily opened to add planting solution and clean the interior. The upper surface of the support surface 112 has a cohesive curved shape so that the leakage from the planting pot 700 can gather towards the center and flow into the leakage storage space 200 formed by the central recessed area. An opening 113 is provided on the side wall of the support surface, which can serve as both an injection port and a vent. In this embodiment, the leakage from the planting pot will not all flow into the storage space, thus keeping the storage space clean. The intelligent liquid supply component 121 pumps the planting solution into the planting pot 700 through the outlet pipe 123 via the inlet pipe 122 connected to the bottom of the storage space. The intelligent liquid supply component consists of a sensor unit, a liquid supply execution unit, a decision unit, a network communication 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 is connected to a smartphone via the network communication unit, and the smartphone can perform real-time liquid supply control, automatic liquid supply time and duration settings, and other operations via an APP. The power supply unit is configured to be powered by a rechargeable lithium battery.
