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 closed-surface support extended 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, this utility model breaks through conventional thinking and discloses a closed-surface support extended independent planting pot base that can pre-store planting solution. It can serve as a drainage tray and a base 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 describes 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 closed surface support structure for supporting the planting pot and providing good ventilation at the bottom of the planting pot; the surface support structure consists of a panel supported by the side wall of the base body, which in turn supports the weight of the planting pot; the panel and side wall are closedly connected to prevent water leakage; it has an extended opening above the support surface to store more planting solution and to add / extract planting solution. The term "closed" in the closed surface support structure refers to a sealed connection between the support surface and the base side wall. This is because storing planting solution at the extended opening above the support surface creates hydraulic pressure at the connection between the support surface and the base side wall, and the sealed connection prevents the planting solution above the support surface from leaking out. The planting solution refers to a liquid used for planting, including water, nutrient solution, etc.

[0005] Furthermore, optionally, the support surface itself has a recessed structure to store a small amount of liquid from the planting pot, preventing all the liquid from the planting pot from flowing out of the base.

[0006] Furthermore, optionally, the recessed structure is provided with a raised support structure to provide a better ventilation environment for the planting pot.

[0007] Optionally, a cover plate is provided on the extended opening, and the cover plate has further openings for ventilation and adding / extracting planting solution. The purpose of the cover plate is to prevent dust or objects from falling into the base.

[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] Furthermore, the liquid supply component is an automatic water-absorbing and liquid-supplying device; the automatic water-absorbing and liquid-supplying device is configured in terms of thickness, length, and quantity as needed. The automatic water-absorbing and liquid-supplying 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 suction tubes, etc.

[0012] Furthermore, the liquid supply component is an active liquid supply device; the active liquid supply device triggers the active liquid supply action under 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. Existing micro-pumps can serve as active liquid supply devices. The triggering condition refers to a condition that controls the active liquid supply device to perform liquid supply actions such as opening and closing, including but not limited to triggering conditions achievable by existing conventional technologies, such as the user plugging / unplugging the plug, pressing a button, reaching a predetermined time, the timing ending, detecting soil moisture below a certain threshold, pressure difference above 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 configuring the intelligent active liquid supply device. The controller includes devices or apparatuses such as smartphones with specific applications installed, or dedicated remote controls. The network connection unit connects 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 interface 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. This utility model can store more planting solution by supporting an extended structure with a closed surface.

[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.

This structural design can not only collect the mud and leakage from the planting pot but also ensure good ventilation and aeration at the bottom of the planting pot. One end of the non-integrated self-absorbing water ropes 501 and 502 is immersed in the stored planting liquid, and the other end is buried in the soil of the planting pot. The thickness and number of the self-absorbing water ropes can be set according to the plant's water preference and nutrient requirements. In this embodiment, the liquid supply device is a non-integrated self-absorbing rope, that is, the self-absorbing rope is not part of the base of the utility model, but is obtained by other means (such as purchasing separately, preparing it by oneself, etc.) and then used with the planting pot base.

The base body has an irregular shape, with a closed support surface and a closed extended liquid storage 101 that extends above the support surface, forming a unified liquid storage space inside. The support surface has a recessed structure 102 and an outer edge 103, and a raised support structure 106 is provided in the recessed area. This structural design can not only collect the mud and sand leakage liquid from the planting pot, but also ensure good ventilation at the bottom of the planting pot. A closable injection port 111 and a vent hole 112 are provided on the closed top surface of the closed extended liquid storage port. The intelligent liquid supply component 200 pumps the planting solution into the planting pot 700 through the outlet pipe 201 via the inlet pipe connected to the bottom of the liquid storage space.
