Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of potted plant technology, and in particular to a water collection basin for blueberry potted plants. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, blueberries are typically grown hydroponically. A substrate composed of plant granules such as peat moss and coconut sugar is placed in a pot as a carrier, and the blueberry plant is anchored in the substrate. Since there is no soil, all the nutrients and water (nutrient solution) needed for the blueberry plant's growth come from external artificial irrigation. Therefore, the choice of cultivation container is crucial. To prevent root rot, current potted blueberry plants have many ventilation holes at the bottom of the pot. However, these holes can cause nutrient solution to leak out, contaminating the soil and preventing its recovery, resulting in nutrient waste.

[0003] Current solutions typically involve placing a water collection basin under the potted plant. This basin has an upward-opening groove to collect the nutrient solution flowing out of the plant. Within this groove is a downward-sloping outlet channel equipped with a spout that extends radially to the side wall of the basin. The spout connects to a flexible plastic tube for collecting the nutrient solution. While these basins need to be stacked for transport and storage, the integrated spout design causes it to press against the top edge of the basin, taking up space after stacking. This results in increased transport and storage costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, a watering basin for blueberry bonsai is provided that reduces space requirements when stacked.

[0005] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: a water collection basin for blueberry bonsai, comprising a basin body, the basin body opening downwards and having a platform at the upper end for supporting the blueberry bonsai, the opening size of the basin body gradually decreasing from bottom to top to give the basin body an overall tapered shape; the platform is recessed to form an upward-opening liquid collection groove between itself and the basin body; the bottom of the liquid collection groove near its circumferential edge is recessed downwards to form a water outlet groove, a first through hole is provided on the circumferential side wall of the liquid collection groove corresponding to the water outlet groove, a second through hole is provided on the side wall of the basin body corresponding to the first through hole, and a water outlet extends out of the side wall of the basin body and is detachably fixed to the first and second through holes.

[0006] When stacking, the water outlet is removed from the first and second through holes. Then, the two basins are stacked one on top of the other, with the upper circumferential edge of the basin extending into the gap between the second and first through holes, thus achieving the stacking of the two basins.

[0007] The water outlet can be detachably fixed to the first through hole and the second through hole by means of tight fit, threaded fit, glue fixation, etc.

[0008] This solution detachably fixes the water outlet to the first and second through holes, so that when the water outlet is removed, the upper circumferential edge of the lower water basin can extend into the gap between the first and second through holes. This reduces the vertical space occupied when two water basins are stacked. In the same space, more water basins can be stacked, thus saving the cost of transporting or storing such basins.

[0009] Preferably, the liquid collection tank includes a first liquid collection tank and a second liquid collection tank, wherein the second liquid collection tank is located at the center of the first liquid collection tank and the depth of the second liquid collection tank is greater than the depth of the first liquid collection tank.

[0010] The first collection tank is large and used to initially receive the nutrient solution from above, while the second collection tank is deep and used for centralized drainage.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom height of the second liquid collection tank gradually increases from the side closer to the outlet tank to the side farther from the outlet tank, so that the bottom of the second liquid collection tank is inclined.

[0012] The bottom of the second collection tank is inclined to facilitate the flow of water to the outlet tank side, thus making drainage easier.

[0013] Preferably, the lower end face of the first liquid collection tank is provided with several reinforcing ribs, one end of which is connected to the circumferential inner wall of the basin body and the other end is connected to the circumferential outer wall of the second liquid collection tank; when the water collection basins are stacked, the circumferential edge of the upper end of the lower water collection basin body abuts against the reinforcing ribs.

[0014] The addition of reinforcing ribs increases the overall strength of the countertop. When the basins are stacked, the circumferential edge of the lower basin abuts against the reinforcing rib, ensuring that the basins are level after stacking. This prevents the entire basin stack from tilting, making it easier to stack and transport.

[0015] Preferably, the water outlet is tightly fitted with the first through hole and / or the second through hole.

[0016] The tight fit design allows for easy disassembly by the user.

[0017] Preferably, the water outlet is cylindrical and has a ring-shaped protrusion on its circumferential sidewall. The ring-shaped protrusion is used to limit the extreme position of the water outlet when it is inserted into the first through hole and the second through hole.

[0018] Avoid inserting the water nozzle too deeply into the first and second through holes.

[0019] Preferably, the lower wall of the basin has two downward-opening, through-hole notches, which are located on opposite sides of the basin.

[0020] When planting blueberries, the potted blueberry plants are arranged in a straight line. To facilitate the recycling of nutrient solution from all the potted plants, a main pipe is installed. The pipe runs in a straight line under each potted plant, meaning it can pass through a notch. The water outlet is connected to the pipe via a flexible hose, thus enabling the recycling of nutrient solution from all the blueberry potted plants.

[0021] Preferably, one of the two notches is located directly below the water outlet.

[0022] The above setup shortens the distance between the two, making it easier to connect the spout, hose, and pipe.

[0023] Preferably, both the basin and the liquid collection tank have a circular cross-sectional shape.

[0024] The round shape makes it easy to stack water basins one on top of the other.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the advantage of reducing the space occupied by the stacking of water basins, thereby saving the cost of transporting and stacking water basins. Attached Figure Description

[0037] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment discloses a water collection basin for blueberry bonsai. The basin is truncated cone-shaped, including a basin body 1 extending circumferentially and a platform located at the upper end of the basin body 1 and integrally injection molded with the basin body 1. The platform is used to support the blueberry bonsai. The basin body 1 is hollow and has a downward opening. The size of the opening of the basin body 1 gradually decreases from bottom to top, giving the basin body an overall tapered shape. The platform is recessed downward, forming an upward-opening liquid collection groove 2 in the basin body 1. A circumferentially protruding circumferential edge 12 is formed between the circumferential wall of the liquid collection groove 2 and the upper circumferential side wall of the basin body 1.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the liquid collection tank 2 includes a first liquid collection tank 21 and a second liquid collection tank 22. The second liquid collection tank 22 is located at the center of the first liquid collection tank 21 and the two are integrally formed. The depth of the second liquid collection tank 22 is greater than the depth of the first liquid collection tank 21. The bottoms of the first liquid collection tank 21 and the second liquid collection tank 22 are concave to form an upward-opening outlet tank 3 extending in the radial direction. The height of the bottom of the second liquid collection tank 22 gradually increases from the side closer to the outlet tank 3 to the side farther away from the outlet tank 3, so that the bottom of the second liquid collection tank 22 is inclined. The first liquid collection tank 21 has a first through hole 31 on the circumferential side wall corresponding to the outlet tank 3, and the basin 1 has a second through hole 11 on the side wall corresponding to the first through hole 31. The first through hole 31 and the second through hole 11 are interference-fitted with a water outlet 4, which extends outside the side wall of the basin 1. The water outlet 4 is cylindrical, and a ring protrusion 41 is provided on the outer circumferential wall of the water outlet 4. When the water outlet 4 is inserted into the first through hole 31 and the second through hole 11, the ring protrusion 41 contacts the side wall of the basin 1 to limit the extreme position of the water outlet 4 inserted into the first through hole 31 and the second through hole 11.

[0040] like Figures 2 to 10As shown, the lower end face of the first liquid collection tank 21 is provided with several radially extending reinforcing ribs 6, which are arranged circumferentially. One end of the reinforcing rib 6 is connected to the circumferential inner wall of the basin 1, and the other end is connected to the circumferential side wall of the second liquid collection tank 22. When the water receiving basins are stacked, the circumferential edge 12 of the upper end of the basin 1 of the lower water receiving basin abuts against the reinforcing rib 6. The lower end wall of the basin 1 is provided with two downward-opening and through-hole notches 5, which are located on opposite radial sides of the basin 1. One of the two notches 5 is located directly below the water outlet 4.

[0041] When stacking the water basins, first remove the water outlet 4 from the first through hole 31 and the second through hole 11. Then, stack the two water basins one on top of the other so that the circumferential edge 12 at the top of the basin 1 can extend into the gap between the first through hole 31 and the second through hole 11. At the same time, ensure that the water outlet grooves 3 of the two water basins are aligned with each other. Repeat the above operation to complete the stacking of the water basins.

[0042] When using the water collection basin, disassemble each basin one by one, insert the water outlet 4 into the first through hole 31 and the second through hole 11, then place the water collection basin on the pipe so that the pipe passes through the notch 5. Next, connect the pipe and the water outlet 4 with a flexible hose, and finally place the blueberry plant on the water collection basin. At this point, nutrient solution can be dripped into the blueberry plant. The nutrient solution flows into the water collection basin and is then discharged into the pipe through the water outlet and flexible hose for recycling.
