Detailed Implementation

[0035] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention include, but are not limited to, the following embodiments.

[0036] Example

[0037] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the easy-to-remove plant cultivation container includes an upper ring body 1, a plurality of wall and bottom assembly parts 2 integrally formed on the lower edge of the upper ring body for forming the side walls and bottom of the container, and a fastening part 3 for bringing together all the wall and bottom assembly parts, wherein the container side walls and container bottom formed by the gathering of all the wall and bottom assembly parts are provided with holes 4 and / or gaps 5 for ventilation and drainage. Specifically, the upper ring body, serving as the upper port of the container, is configured as a circle or a regular polygon. When the upper ring body is configured as a regular polygon, the number of the wall-bottom assembly pieces matches the number of sides of the regular polygon. When the upper ring body is configured as a circle, the wall-bottom assembly pieces are evenly distributed around the lower edge of the upper ring body, and the lower edge of the upper ring body is configured as a straight edge matching the upper end of the wall-bottom assembly pieces, facilitating local bending of the wall-bottom assembly pieces for convergence and expansion. In this case, the outer side of the lower part of the wall-bottom assembly piece can be configured as an arc or a straight line according to actual shaping requirements, thereby making the container as a whole form a shape with both upper and lower circles or a shape with a circle at the top and a polygon at the bottom. The upper edge of the upper ring body is provided with a flange 6 for easy handling or placement.

[0038] Specifically, the wall-bottom assembly includes a side wall portion 11 vertically connected to the lower edge of the upper ring body, a bottom assembly portion 12 connected to the lower side of the side wall portion, and a fastener 13 disposed on the bottom assembly portion for fastening. The side wall portion is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom; adjacent side wall portions are brought together with their upper edges tightly joined to form a complete container side wall, while their lower edges separate to form a gap 5 for ventilation and drainage. The bottom assembly portion is pointed, wider at the outside and narrower at the inside, with its larger end connected to the lower side of the side wall portion and its smaller end facing the center of the container bottom. The bottom assembly portion is provided with holes and / or edge notches 7 for ventilation and drainage.

[0039] Specifically, the fastening component includes a fastening body 21 for sealing the center of the bottom of the container, multiple fastening arms 22 disposed on the edge of the fastening body and corresponding one-to-one with the bottom splice of the wall-bottom splice, and a locking slot 23 disposed on the fastening arm and matched with the locking piece. When all the locking pieces are engaged in the corresponding locking slots, all the wall-bottom splices gather together to form the side wall and bottom of the container.

[0040] In another embodiment, a different design structure for the fastening component is provided, specifically: the fastening component includes a fastening body 21 for sealing the center of the bottom of the container, multiple fastening arms 22 disposed on the edges of the fastening body and corresponding one-to-one with the bottom splice of the wall-bottom splice, a snap-fit ​​portion 24 disposed at the outer end of the fastening arm and matching the locking element, and an adjustable stop portion 25 disposed in the middle of the fastening arm and cooperating with the snap-fit ​​portion and the bottom splice to maintain snap-fit ​​fixation. Meanwhile, the locking element on the bottom splice is configured with a corresponding fastening structure, specifically including a slot 18 matching the outer end of the fastening arm, and a fixed stop portion 19 located on the bottom splice and corresponding to the slot for locking with the adjustable stop portion. Both the adjustable stop portion and the fixed stop portion can be configured as a meshing rack structure, with the meshing rack arranged radially along the container. The adjustable stop portion can be formed by connecting one end of the rack through a through hole in the middle of the fastening arm, thereby achieving the effect of unlocking by moving the other end to separate the rack. When the wall-bottom assembly parts are brought together, the locking part on the fastener arm extends into the locking groove to maintain the positioning of the fastener parts, and the adjustable stop part engages and fixes the stop part to keep the fastener parts in a fixed position. Due to the mutual restraint of the locking groove and the stop part, the fastener parts can be stably placed at the bottom of the wall-bottom assembly parts and are easy to lock and fix with each wall-bottom assembly part. When unlocking is required, the adjustable stop part is moved to disengage from the fixed stop part, which allows the locking part of the fastener arm to exit from the locking groove, thus separating the fastener parts from the wall-bottom assembly parts.

[0041] In another embodiment, a further design structure for the fastener is provided, specifically: the fastener includes a fastener body 21 for sealing the center of the bottom of the container, a plurality of fastener arms 22 disposed on the edge of the fastener body and corresponding one-to-one with the bottom splice of the wall bottom splice, a snap-fit ​​portion 24 disposed at the outer end of the fastener arm and matching the clip, and a snap fastener 26 disposed at the bottom of the fastener arm and laterally fastened to the clip, wherein adjacent snap fasteners are arranged opposite each other, that is, if one snap fastener faces its left side, then the adjacent snap fastener faces its right side; and a top protrusion can also be configured at the center of the fastener body according to actual needs. The locking mechanism on the bottom assembly is configured as a slot 18 that matches the outer edge of the fastener arm, and a locking arm 27 formed by a partial extension of the slot and laterally engaging with the buckle. Both the locking arm and the buckle can be configured as mutually cooperating teeth. In the converged position, the locking arm and buckle, through lateral engagement, restrict the radial expansion of the bottom assembly, and the adjacent opposing buckles maintain a balanced force on the fastener in the circumferential direction. When the bottom assembly is converged, the locking portion on the fastener arm extends into the slot to maintain the positioning of the fastener, and the locking arm and buckle form a lateral engagement to keep the fastener in a fixed position. When unlocking is required, the locking arm is laterally moved to disengage from the buckle, allowing the fastener arm to exit the slot and separating the fastener from the bottom assembly.

[0042] Furthermore, the sidewall portion is configured in a wavy shape and / or equipped with reinforcing ribs 14. The wavy shape is arranged in the transverse direction of the sidewall portion, and the reinforcing ribs can be set at the two sides of the sidewall portion or at the middle part of the sidewall portion, thereby increasing the strength of the container sidewall. Additionally, the edge of the sidewall portion is provided with concave and convex openings 15 for engaging adjacent sidewall edges. These openings are arranged with one edge as a groove and the other edge as a boss, allowing adjacent sidewall portions to be joined together. This facilitates the alignment of the sidewall portions after the bottom assembly is assembled, improving the strength of the sidewall assembly. The bottom of the bottom assembly portion is provided with a bottom support portion 16. The bottom support portion can be configured at the edge of the bottom assembly portion, at the middle part of the bottom assembly portion, or in a T-shape or other shapes. This allows the bottom support portion to both support the raised bottom of the container and strengthen the bottom of the container.

[0043] Specifically, the connection between the sidewall portion and the lower edge of the upper ring body is configured as a local deformation zone 17. This local deformation zone is achieved by thinning to facilitate the gathering and opening of the wall bottom assembly, thereby reducing damage to the container sidewall during operation.

[0044] In normal use, this utility model uses fasteners to bring together and secure all the wall and bottom components, forming a complete flowerpot-style plant cultivation container. It is suitable for regular use in cultivating flowering plants and offers good water and air permeability, similar to existing Qingshan pots. When the planted flowers reach a certain stage and need repotting, first engage the fasteners, then open the wall and bottom components outwards. This increases the container's inner diameter, loosens the adhesion between the plant roots and soil to the container's inner wall, and widens the gaps on the side walls and bottom, facilitating root adjustment and removal. This allows for easier removal of the plant from its pot for repotting, making the operation simple and quick.

[0045] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any changes made based on the design principles of this utility model, or any non-creative changes made on this basis, shall fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
