Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of potted plant technology, specifically to the root observation window structure for potted chili peppers. Background Technology

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, balcony farming and home gardening have gradually become important ways for modern urbanites to pursue a green lifestyle. Among them, potted chili peppers are favored by planting enthusiasts due to their ease of cultivation, stable yield, and practical value. However, for plants like chili peppers, the root system is the key to maintaining plant health and growth. The growth of the root system directly affects the plant's ability to absorb water and fertilizer, as well as its overall growth status. But traditional potted plants are usually opaque, making it impossible to directly observe root growth. Growers can only judge based on changes in the plant's appearance. Once problems such as root rot, overly dense roots, or insufficient nutrients appear, it is usually too late, leading to a high probability of planting failure.

[0003] Currently, some planting containers on the market attempt to enable root observation through design improvements, such as using fully transparent containers. However, completely transparent containers easily allow direct light into the root area, which may adversely affect root health, such as inhibiting root growth or causing algae growth. Other designs attempt to observe the root system through holes in the bottom of the pot, but this method is limited by the viewing angle and inconvenient to operate, failing to meet the needs of daily planting management. Furthermore, existing improvements are mostly simple modifications that do not consider comprehensive factors such as light shading and user experience, resulting in shortcomings in both practical effectiveness and user acceptance.

[0004] Furthermore, during prolonged use, transparent planting containers are prone to scratches on their inner walls due to friction from the planting soil and root growth activities. This leads to a decrease in transparency and affects the observation of the root system. Growers often need to replace the planting containers frequently, increasing planting costs and maintenance workload. In view of this, we propose a root observation window structure for potted chili peppers. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a root observation window structure for potted chili peppers to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] The root observation window structure for potted chili peppers includes a rectangular chili pepper planting pot. A partition is provided inside the rectangular chili pepper planting pot and near the bottom to separate the planting soil and the liquid collection box, preventing the soil from directly contacting the liquid collection box, while providing support for water drainage and air circulation. A U-shaped opening is provided on the front side of the rectangular chili pepper planting pot to install a transparent acrylic plate and serve as an observation window to facilitate the observation of the growth status of the chili pepper roots.

[0008] The inner wall of the U-shaped opening is bonded with a U-shaped fixing plate, which is used to provide fixed support for the transparent acrylic sheet and enhance the structural stability. The inner wall of the U-shaped fixing plate is provided with a U-shaped mounting groove, which is used to accommodate and fix the transparent acrylic sheet, ensuring that the transparent acrylic sheet can be installed stably.

[0009] A transparent acrylic plate is installed inside the U-shaped mounting groove. Its main function is to serve as a window for observing the root system. Growers can clearly observe the growth of the pepper roots through the acrylic plate. L-shaped positioning vertical plates are provided on the front side of the rectangular pepper planting pot and on both sides of the U-shaped opening. These plates provide sliding tracks for the light-shielding plate, ensuring that the light-shielding plate can slide smoothly. A light-shielding plate is slidably connected between the two L-shaped positioning vertical plates. The light-shielding plate blocks the transparent acrylic plate, preventing light from shining directly on the roots and avoiding interference from light, thus protecting the normal growth of the roots. A strip-shaped lifting block is provided on the top of the light-shielding plate, which allows the user to manually open and close the light-shielding plate, realizing the opening and closing operation of the observation window.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the partition has multiple ventilation holes b, which provide air circulation paths for the soil, regulate soil aeration, and allow excess water to seep out through the ventilation holes b, reducing the risk of root rot caused by water accumulation and improving the root growth environment. The rectangular pepper planting pot has multiple ventilation holes a arranged equidistantly on both the front and back sides and near the bottom. The ventilation holes a are located below the partition to further enhance the aeration of the planting pot.

[0011] Preferably, a liquid collection box is placed at the bottom of the rectangular chili pepper planting pot to collect excess water, prevent water from accumulating inside the planting pot, and serve the functions of drainage and water storage. The liquid collection box is located below the vent a to ensure drainage and ventilation.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom right side of the inner wall of the rectangular chili planting pot is provided with an operating opening for the liquid collection box to pass through, so as to facilitate the user to take out or put in the liquid collection box, and to facilitate cleaning and maintenance. The right side of the liquid collection box is provided with a sealing block, the outer wall of which fits against the inner wall of the operating opening to seal the operating opening.

[0013] Preferably, the liquid collection box is provided with strip rubber pads on both the front and rear sides. The opposite sides of the two strip rubber pads are in close contact with the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the rectangular pepper planting pot, respectively, to increase friction and ensure that the liquid collection box is placed stably.

[0014] Preferably, the inner wall of the U-shaped mounting groove is bonded with a rubber sealing liner, and the concave surface of the rubber sealing liner is tightly fitted with the outer wall of the transparent acrylic sheet to achieve a waterproof sealing function for the observation window, preventing water or soil from leaking to the outside. When the inner surface of the transparent acrylic sheet is scratched, the transparent acrylic sheet can be moved upwards so that the user can quickly replace the transparent acrylic sheet.

[0015] Preferably, the rear side of the light-shielding plate is attached to the front side of the U-shaped fixing plate to further enhance the stability of the light-shielding plate. The bottom of the strip-shaped lifting block is attached to the top of the U-shaped fixing plate to block the gap between the light-shielding plate and the transparent acrylic plate, while providing support for the light-shielding plate and fixing its position.

[0016] Preferably, the bottom of the rectangular chili pepper planting pot and near the four corners are provided with anti-slip pads. The anti-slip pads are adhered to the rectangular chili pepper planting pot to increase the stability of the planting pot, prevent the planting pot from sliding during use, and ensure safety and reliability.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. The root observation window structure of this potted chili pepper plant, through the setting of a transparent acrylic plate, allows growers to intuitively observe the growth status of the chili pepper roots, including root density, health status, and possible root problems, so as to take timely measures to adjust, such as adjusting the amount of watering or fertilization plan. This function solves the problem that traditional opaque potted plants cannot observe root growth, making planting management more scientific and efficient.

[0019] 2. The root observation window structure of this potted chili pepper plant features a sliding light-shielding plate on the outside of a transparent acrylic panel. This light-shielding plate prevents direct sunlight from reaching the root area, effectively avoiding adverse effects of light on the roots, such as root growth interference or algae growth. At the same time, the sliding opening and closing design of the light-shielding plate facilitates user operation and allows for flexible switching between observation function and light protection.

[0020] 3. The root observation window structure of this potted chili pepper enhances the air permeability of the planting pot by setting ventilation holes at the top of the partition and on the front and back sides of the rectangular chili pepper planting pot. This prevents root rot caused by lack of oxygen in the soil and helps to drain excess water, thus optimizing the growth environment of the chili pepper roots.

[0021] 4. The root observation window structure of this potted chili pepper planter, with a liquid collection box at the bottom of the planting pot, effectively collects excess water, preventing water from accumulating in the planting soil and thus reducing the risk of root rot caused by water accumulation. At the same time, by setting up an operation port and a sealing block, users can easily remove and clean the liquid collection box, ensuring the cleanliness and long-term use of the planting pot and reducing maintenance difficulty.

[0022] 5. The root observation window structure of this chili potted plant achieves a waterproof seal on the transparent acrylic sheet by bonding a rubber sealing liner inside the mounting groove, preventing soil or water from leaking to the outside and improving durability. In addition, the transparent acrylic sheet can be quickly disassembled and replaced. When the sheet is scratched or its transparency decreases, the user does not need to replace the entire planting pot, but only the acrylic sheet, which reduces the cost of use and extends the product's service life.
