Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to road landscape flower box technical field, concretely relates to a detachable guardrail flower box with sponge function. BACKGROUND

[0002] Most of the flowers used in urban road greening projects are planar greening planted in the central median strip, side median strip and green line range of the road, and the water for plant growth is mostly derived from the precipitation stored in the planting soil. In recent years, however, the available land for greening in cities (especially in old urban areas) is increasingly scarce, and vertical greening has become an important measure to increase urban green volume and beautify the urban environment. Because of the lack of necessary dedicated green land, the road greening in land planning restricted areas often applies three-dimensional greening (vertical greening) technology, among which the application of flower box guardrails is particularly common.

[0003] As for the existing guardrails with flower boxes, most of the flower boxes have a relatively deep box body, and then the soil is filled to two-thirds of the box body. The soil can store more water, so as to ensure that the soil can continuously provide water for plants for a short period of time after rainfall. However, this existing method has certain problems. Although the device can indeed complete the above operation in areas with more rainfall, in arid regions where sunny days are more than rainy days, the water in the soil will evaporate faster in high-temperature weather, which results in insufficient water storage in the soil to support the next rainfall, thereby causing the plants to wither. Moreover, a drainage device needs to be provided in a general flower box, otherwise, if the flower box accumulates too much water due to excessive rainfall, root rot will easily occur. However, if a drainage device is provided, the water storage capacity will be insufficient, and the water supply to the vegetation will be less.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The following specific embodiment explains the embodiment of the utility model, the person skilled in the art can easily understand the other advantages and functions of the utility model from the content disclosed in the specification, obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, but not all the embodiment. Based on the embodiment in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without making creative labor belong to the scope of the utility model protection.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1-5 Now a detachable guardrail flower box with sponge function disclosed by the utility model will be described, the utility model has seven parts, as shown in Figure 1 Including flower box shell 1, sponge 2, partition assembly 3, water absorption cotton stick 4, water release valve 5, cushion block 6 and connecting shell 7, the outer surface of connecting shell 7 is connected with guardrail, the inside of connecting shell 7 is hollow structure, a plurality of cushion blocks 6 are installed on the bottom surface upper end of connecting shell 7, flower box shell 1 is placed above cushion block 6, water release valve 5 is inserted on the bottom plate of flower box shell 1, partition assembly 3 is arranged in pairs and is installed in flower box shell 1, the water storage space is formed between partition assembly 3, flower box shell 1 side plate lower part and flower box shell 1 bottom plate, sponge 2 is installed between two partition assemblies 3, a plurality of water absorption cotton sticks 4 are installed in partition assembly 3, and the bottom end of water absorption cotton stick 4 is arranged in the water storage space.

[0038] In use, this utility model first connects the connecting shell 7 to the guardrail by welding to fix its position. After the connecting shell 7 is installed, several pads 6 are installed on the surface of the base plate. Before placing the flower box shell 1, the drain valve 5 is inserted into the drain hole 13 to seal it. Then, the bottom of the flower box shell 1 is placed on the pads 6, with the height of the protruding part of the drain valve 5 the same as the height of the pad 6, so that this protruding part can be properly locked between the flower box shell 1 and the connecting shell 7. After the flower box shell 1 is installed, a suitable sponge 2 is placed between the two dividing components 3. Then, soil is spread on top of the filter screen 33 and the sponge 2. The soil thickness is determined according to the local climate and various conditions. After spreading the soil, the plants can be planted on the soil. When it rains, rainwater drips onto the soil, first wetting it and supplying moisture to the plants. Excess water flows through filter screen 33 and then through drainage holes 31 into the water storage space. Before installation, drain valve 5 has sealed the drain hole 13, creating a sealed space for water storage. Excess water in the soil is also absorbed by sponge 2. When sponge 2 reaches its absorption limit, water entering it will expel the previously absorbed water. This combination of sponge 2 and the water storage space effectively prevents root rot. If the rainfall is still heavy and the sponge 2 cannot drain the water, water will still accumulate in the flower box shell 1. However, with the overflow hole 14 on the side wall of the flower box shell 1, when the water level in the flower box shell 1 reaches the overflow hole 14, the water will flow out from the overflow hole 14 and enter the gap between the flower box shell 1 and the connecting shell 7. Then the water will flow along the gap and finally flow to the bottom plate of the connecting shell 7, and finally be discharged through the vent hole 71. Since the vent hole 71 is set on the bottom plates of both the connecting shell 7 and the flower box shell 1, the water in the sponge 2 will also be discharged to the outside through the vent hole 71. When there is no rain, the absorbent cotton swab 4 absorbs the water in the storage space. Under the influence of capillary action, the water is drawn to the upper layer of the absorbent cotton swab 4 and then flows out from the absorbent cotton swab 4 into the soil, moistening the soil. The plants will absorb the water from the soil to ensure their survival. This ensures that the fence flower box can be used in arid areas or during the dry season without the need for frequent watering, saving costs. In addition to ensuring the survival of the plants, this slow water supply operation also ensures that the stored water will not be consumed all at once, providing a continuous water supply to the plants. Moreover, the installation method of the flower box shell 1 allows for quick disassembly, and plants can be stored together in winter, making it more adaptable.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 2The bottom plate of the shell 7 is provided with a vent hole 71 extending upwardly below the sponge 2. The vent hole 71 is provided on the bottom of the flowerpot shell 1 and between the two partition assemblies 3. The vent hole 71 is used to introduce air to keep the device ventilated and can be used to dry the sponge 2. Part of the water in the sponge 2 is also absorbed by the soil. In addition, through the gaps in the sponge 2, the air introduced by the vent hole 71 enters the soil along the gaps and is absorbed by the plants for respiration. The vent hole 71 can also be used for drainage to prevent root rot. The sponge 2 is arranged to not only be used for drainage and air supply but also effectively prevent the soil from entering the vent hole 71 and causing the vent hole 71 to be blocked.

[0040] In a specific embodiment, as shown in Figures 3-4 The flowerpot shell 1 includes a planting space upper opening 11, a shell 12, a drainage hole 13, and an overflow hole 14. The shell 12 is placed above the cushion block 6. The planting space upper opening 11 is provided at the top end of the shell 12. The drainage hole 13 is provided on the bottom plate of the shell 12. The drainage hole 13 is provided in pairs and on both sides of the sponge 2. The overflow hole 14 is provided on the side wall of the shell 12. The planting space upper opening 11 is used to put soil and plants and can also allow rainwater to enter. The shell 12 is made of a 2mm thick steel plate. The inner wall and the L-shaped plate 32 are fixed by welding. The drainage hole 13 is used to drain the water in the water storage space when the plants do not need to be watered. The overflow hole 14 is used to assist the sponge 2 to drain the water in the planting space when the sponge 2 cannot absorb the excess water due to excessive rainfall. The overflow hole 14 prevents root rot.

[0041] In a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 The partition assembly 3 includes a water passage hole 31, an L-shaped plate 32, a filter screen 33, and a mounting hole 34. One end of the L-shaped plate 32 is mounted on the inner wall of the flowerpot shell 1. The other end of the L-shaped plate 32 is mounted on the bottom plate of the flowerpot shell 1. A plurality of water passage holes 31 are provided on the surface of one end of the L-shaped plate 32. The other end of the L-shaped plate 32 is attached to the sponge 2. The filter screen 33 is laid above the water passage hole 31. A plurality of mounting holes 34 are provided on the L-shaped plate 32. The mounting hole 34 extends upwardly into the filter screen 33. The water-absorbing cotton stick 4 is mounted in the mounting hole 34. The L-shaped plate 32 is used to connect the side plate and the bottom plate of the shell 12, so that the shell 12 is divided into a water storage space and a planting space. The water passage hole 31 is used to introduce the water in the soil into the water storage space for water storage. The filter screen 33 is used to prevent large particles such as stones in the soil from blocking the water passage hole 31, thereby affecting water storage. The filter screen 33 can also be a fine mesh screen that can prevent soil from entering the water storage space. The water passage hole 31 is a strip-shaped, grid-shaped, or sieve-shaped hole. Such a hole structure can prevent soil from entering and can ensure a larger water inlet area. The mounting hole 34 is used to mount the water-absorbing cotton stick 4.

[0042] In one specific embodiment, the planting space is formed between the upper end of the side wall of the flower box shell 1, the top plate and the partition assembly 3 and the sponge 2. Figure 1 The planting space is used for placing soil and vegetation and has a certain water storage capacity.

[0043] In one specific embodiment, the flower box shell 1, the connecting shell 7 and the surface of the partition assembly 3 are provided with a corrosion-resistant coating. Since rainwater has a certain corrosive property, the flower box shell 1, the connecting shell 7 and the partition assembly 3 are subjected to corrosion-resistant operation, which can effectively improve the service life.

[0044] In one specific embodiment, the drain valve 5 is made of plastic. Figure 1 The structure of the drain valve 5 in the connecting shell 7 is a plug structure, and the drain valve 5 can be better supported in the drain hole 13 in the extruded state of the bottom plate of the connecting shell 7, which can effectively prevent water leakage in the water storage space. The use of plastic material not only has low manufacturing cost, but also has good corrosion resistance, long service life, and the setting of the cushion block 6 can produce a gap between the bottom plate of the flower box shell 1 and the bottom plate of the connecting shell 7, which facilitates the installation of the drain valve 5 and is used to share the pressure to prevent the water body and the weight of the flower box shell 1 from being applied to the drain valve 5, causing the drain valve 5 to be damaged and causing water leakage problems. Moreover, the gap can also be used to guide the water discharged from the overflow hole 14.

[0045] Although the utility model has been described in detail above with general description and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made on the basis of the utility model, which is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, these modifications or improvements made on the basis of not deviating from the spirit of the utility model all belong to the scope of protection required by the utility model.
