[0030] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 2 As shown, an urban canal ecological landscape facility includes a canal 1, with sunken sections 3 on both sides of the canal 1. One or more planting boxes 4 are slidably installed on the sunken sections 3 for planting emergent plants with well-developed root systems. Multiple overflow holes 2 are evenly arranged below the sunken sections 3 on both sides of the canal 1. The overflow holes 2 are connected to the main canal through water pipes to stabilize the water level. During floods or rainy seasons, the overflow holes 2 can help the canal 1 drain water.

[0031] Please see Figures 3-7 As shown, the planting box 4 has a T-shaped cross-section and its bottom forms three planes, two of which are located on the top and are coplanar, and the other plane is located on the bottom. Symmetrically arranged walking wheels 10 are fixed to the top plane of the bottom of the planting box 4.

[0032] The bottom of the planting box 4 has evenly distributed planting holes 5 on the lower plane; the bottom of the planting box 4 is provided with uprights 6 on both sides corresponding to the planting holes 5, one end of the uprights 6 is fixed to the lower plane of the bottom of the planting box 4, and the other end extends downward; multiple longitudinally arranged crossbars 61 are fixed between adjacent uprights 6 along the width of the water channel 1, and the crossbars 61, uprights 6 and the roots of emergent plants intertwine to form a mesh structure to intercept blockages inside the water channel 1.

[0033] The planting box 4 has a first connecting plate 7 fixedly connected to the middle of one end, and two second connecting plates 8 fixedly connected to the other end. Both the first connecting plate 7 and the second connecting plate 8 are arranged horizontally. The first connecting plate 7 and the second connecting plate 8 are staggered, and the first connecting plate 7 is located between the two second connecting plates 8. Both the first connecting plate 7 and the second connecting plate 8 are provided with insertion holes 14. The insertion holes 14 are provided with matching fixing rods 9. By using the fixing rods 9 and the insertion holes 14 together, the two planting boxes 4 can be connected together.

[0034] A fixing plate 11 is installed at the position of the sunken platform inside the planting box 4. The fixing plate 11 has a rectangular structure and its size matches the size of the sunken platform. A sleeve 12 is installed on the fixing plate 11 corresponding to the position of the planting hole 5. The sleeve 12 is used to support the upper part of the plant and prevent the plant from falling over under the influence of external environmental factors.

[0035] Handles 13 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper surface of the fixing plate 11. The handles 13 are used to facilitate the removal of the fixing plate 11 for inspection and replacement of plants.

[0036] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, the working principle or operation method of this utility model in actual process will be described in detail below:

[0037] Before placing planting box 4 into water channel 1:

[0038] Plants can be pre-cultivated. Workers can assemble the planting box 4 and place it inside the water channel 1. Emergent plants, such as water bamboo and Argentine crown aquatic plants, can be planted in the planting holes 5 at the bottom of the planting box 4. Because the plant roots are well-developed, the bottom of the planting box 4 is equipped with uprights 6 on both sides corresponding to the planting holes 5. Multiple longitudinally arranged horizontal bars 61 are fixed between adjacent uprights 6 along the width of the water channel 1. The horizontal bars 61 and uprights 6 intersect, and the horizontal bars 61, uprights 6 and the roots of emergent plants intersect to form a mesh structure. This not only intercepts some domestic garbage and fallen leaves in the water channel 1, making it convenient for sanitation workers to collect them and speeding up the collection process, but also purifies the water quality.

[0039] It is worth noting here that: Water bamboo is a plant that absorbs nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus from the water through its root system, which helps reduce the growth of algae in the water. Especially in eutrophic water environments, it can reduce the concentration of these substances in the water, thereby improving water quality. Argentine crown aquatic plant, due to its dense root distribution and strong absorption capacity, has a certain water purification effect. It can not only absorb nutrients from the water, but also promote the filtration and purification of water through the joint action of its roots and microorganisms in the water.

[0040] Secondly, when placing planting box 4 into water channel 1:

[0041] Workers can cover the fixing plate 11 and let the plant pass through the sleeve 12. In windy or rainy weather, the upper part of the plant is supported by the sleeve 12, which reduces the occurrence of lodging and plant damage. In daily life, users can also remove the fixing plate 11 by the handle 13 to replace and inspect the plant according to its growth.

[0042] In addition, the bottom of both sides of the planting box 4 is symmetrically equipped with wheels 10, which can facilitate the user to move the position of the planting box 4 in the water channel 1. When the water level of the water channel 1 is appropriate, since the planting box 4 is T-shaped and its bottom is located below the overflow hole 2, the planting box 4 can float with the help of the water level, further reducing friction. The buoyancy of the water can be used to easily move the planting box 4. Since the filtered garbage will stay in front of the first and second planting boxes 4, the operator can change the position of the garbage by adjusting the position of the planting box 4, which is convenient for the staff to perform fixed-point maintenance.

[0043] Finally, the two sides of the T-shaped planting box 4 are also equipped with a first connecting plate 7 and a second connecting plate 8. Users can connect two or more planting boxes 4 by first aligning the positions of the holes 14 on the first connecting plate 7 and the second connecting plate 8, and then inserting the fixing rod 9. The multiple horizontal and vertical ditches and the combination of multiple planting boxes 4 can form various patterns or city names, which can present a better visual effect through bird's-eye view or drone photography, highlighting the city's culture.

[0044] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "an embodiment," "example," "specific example," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this utility model. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0045] The above description is merely an example and illustration of the structure of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described, or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not deviate from the structure of the utility model or exceed the scope defined in the claims, all of which should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
