Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a breathable flowerpot that facilitates watering and fertilization, and belongs to the field of flowerpot technology. Background Technology
[0002] Flower pots are generally made of plastic and are widely used in indoor planting, landscaping, and gardening projects. Depending on the size of the plant being grown, flower pots come in various forms and sizes. Different plants have different growth habits and varying requirements for the water retention, fertilizer retention, and aeration of the growing medium. Traditional flower pots are made of plastic or ceramic, have a simple structure, and poor aeration. They often require drainage holes at the bottom to improve drainage and aeration, and can only meet the needs of most small green plants. However, for plants like orchids that require high aeration, or large potted plants, existing flower pots are insufficient to meet their needs for rapid water and fertilizer replenishment through watering and fertilization, and also fail to meet their aeration requirements, thus affecting their normal growth. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the problems existing in the prior art by proposing a breathable flowerpot that facilitates watering and fertilization. This flowerpot can quickly replenish water and nutrients for plants, increase the breathability of the cultivation substrate, and promote healthy root growth. In particular, it can meet the requirements of plants with high breathability, such as orchids, or large potted green plants for water, fertilizer, and breathability.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A breathable flowerpot for convenient watering and fertilization includes a flowerpot body, a drainage bowl, and a water supply column. The drainage bowl is inverted and fixed at the center of the bottom surface inside the flowerpot body. The bottom surface of the flowerpot body, within the area covered by the rim of the drainage bowl, has at least one bottom opening leading to the outside. The side wall of the drainage bowl has a set of evenly distributed first permeable holes. The water supply column is obliquely arranged above the drainage bowl. A water-separating plate is provided on the top of the drainage bowl. One end of the water supply column is fixedly connected to the water-separating plate, and its other end extends to the plane of the rim of the flowerpot. The side wall of the water supply column has a set of evenly distributed second permeable holes. There are at least two water supply columns, each evenly distributed along the cross-section of the flowerpot. One end of each water supply column is connected to the others, and its other end is open and serves as a water inlet. The water supply column is separated from the drainage bowl by the water-separating plate.
[0006] With this structure, when watering and fertilizing the flowerpot, water and fertilizer are quickly and evenly delivered to the plant roots through the water supply column, achieving rapid replenishment; at the same time, it improves the water and air circulation inside the flowerpot; the drainage bowl and its first permeable hole facilitate drainage of the flowerpot and increase the aeration of the plant roots located at the bottom of the flowerpot.
[0007] The further improved technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0008] Preferably, the height of the drainage bowl is 1 / 5 to 1 / 3 of the height of the flowerpot body; the maximum diameter of the drainage bowl is 1 / 4 to 1 / 3 of the maximum width of the flowerpot; and the diameter of the first permeable hole is 2 to 5 mm.
[0009] By adopting this preferred solution, the specific technical details of the drainage bowl can be further optimized, ensuring the growth space of plant roots in the flowerpot, and minimizing soil loss at the bottom of the flowerpot while improving aeration.
[0010] Preferably, there are 3 water supply columns, and the projections of adjacent water supply columns form an angle of 120±5 degrees on the cross-section of the flowerpot.
[0011] Preferably, the diameter of the water supply column is 5-40 mm; the diameter of the second water permeable hole is 2-5 mm; the distance between the top edge of the flowerpot and the top of the flowerpot is 1-2 cm; and the other end of the water supply column is flush with the top edge of the flowerpot.
[0012] Preferably, the axis of the water supply column intersects the axis of the drain bowl at an angle of 120 to 150 degrees.
[0013] After adopting the above preferred scheme, the specific technical details of the water supply column can be further optimized. The water supply column is evenly distributed in the upper and middle space of the flowerpot. When watering and fertilizing, water and fertilizer can be quickly and evenly distributed to the plant roots through the water inlet near the top edge of the flowerpot, thereby significantly improving the utilization efficiency of water and fertilizer, making the substrate in the flowerpot less prone to compaction, and the water supply column can also play a role in aerating the plant roots at other times.
[0014] Preferably, the first permeable hole of the drainage bowl and the second permeable hole of the water supply column are arranged at equal intervals. This allows for better watering and fertilization results.
[0015] Preferably, the flowerpot body has a base. This raises the entire flowerpot body, increasing ventilation and breathability at the bottom, thereby reducing the risk of root suffocation and rot; when placed on the ground, the base can also reduce pests to some extent.
[0016] Preferably, the base has holes connecting to the opening at the bottom of the pot; the base also has a drainage groove, and the drainage groove has a set of through grooves communicating with the interior of the flowerpot body. This can further optimize the drainage performance and aeration of the flowerpot.
[0017] Preferably, the water supply column and the drainage bowl are made of plastic. This makes the water supply column and drainage bowl lightweight and easy to transport, and also simplifies molding and mass production.
[0018] This invention features a water supply column and a drainage bowl inside the flowerpot, which can quickly replenish water and fertilizer to the plant roots while rapidly draining excess water and significantly improving the aeration of the substrate. This provides an ideal rooting environment for plant growth, thereby promoting root development. It is particularly suitable for orchids and other plants that require high aeration, or for the cultivation of large potted green plants. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Example 1
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, a breathable flowerpot for convenient watering and fertilization in this embodiment includes a flowerpot body, a drainage bowl 1, and a water supply column 2. The drainage bowl 1 is fixed upside down in the center of the bottom surface inside the flowerpot body. The bottom surface of the flowerpot body located within the area covered by the bowl opening of the drainage bowl 1 has at least one bottom opening (not shown in the figure) leading to the outside. The side wall of the drainage bowl 1 has a set of evenly distributed first permeable holes 3. The water supply column 2 is obliquely arranged above the drainage bowl 1. The top of the drainage bowl 1 is provided with a water-blocking plate 5. One end of the water supply column 2 is fixedly connected to the water-blocking plate 5, and its other end extends to the plane where the upper rim 7 of the flowerpot is located. The side wall of the water supply column 2 has a set of evenly distributed second permeable holes 4. There are at least two water supply columns 2, and each water supply column 2 is evenly distributed along the cross-section of the flowerpot. One end of each water supply column 2 is connected to each other, and its other end is open and serves as a water inlet 6. Each water supply column 2 is separated from the drainage bowl 1 by the water-blocking plate 5.
[0025] Specifically, the height of the drainage bowl 1 is 1 / 5 to 1 / 3 of the height of the flowerpot body; the maximum diameter of the drainage bowl 1 is 1 / 4 to 1 / 3 of the maximum width of the flowerpot; and the diameter of the first water-permeable hole 3 is 2 to 5 mm.
[0026] There are 3 water supply columns 2. On the cross-section of the flowerpot, the projections of adjacent water supply columns 2 form an angle of 120±5 degrees (120 degrees in this embodiment).
[0027] The diameter of the water supply column 2 is 5-40mm; the diameter of the second water permeable hole 4 is 2-5mm; the distance between the upper rim 7 of the flowerpot and the top of the flowerpot 11 is 1-2cm; and the other end of the water supply column 2 is flush with the upper rim 7 of the flowerpot.
[0028] The axis of the water supply column 2 intersects the axis of the drain bowl 1 at an angle of 120 to 150 degrees.
[0029] The first permeable hole 3 of the drainage bowl 1 and the second permeable hole 4 of the water supply column 2 are arranged at equal intervals.
[0030] The flowerpot body has a base 8. The base 8 has a hole (not shown in the figure) that connects to the opening at the bottom of the pot. The base 8 also has a flow guide groove 9, and a set of through grooves 10 that communicate with the interior of the flowerpot body are provided in the flow guide groove 9.
[0031] In addition, the water supply column 2 and the drainage bowl 1 are made of plastic.
[0032] In this embodiment, after watering and fertilizing the flowerpot, the water and fertilizer enter the water supply column 2 through the water inlet 6, and then are quickly and evenly transported to the plant roots through the second permeable hole 4, achieving rapid replenishment and thereby improving the water and air circulation inside the flowerpot. Excess water in the flowerpot can enter the drainage bowl 1 through the first permeable hole 3 and then be discharged to the outside of the pot through the opening at the bottom of the pot and the holes in the base 8. It can also be discharged to the outside of the pot through the through groove 10 and the guide groove 9 of the base 8, thereby increasing the aeration of the plant roots located at the bottom of the flowerpot.
[0033] This embodiment can provide an ideal rooting environment for green plants. During routine water and fertilizer management, water and fertilizer can be quickly replenished around the roots, while excess water can be quickly drained, which can fully improve the aeration of the substrate and promote the growth of plant roots. It is especially suitable for the cultivation of plants with high requirements for aeration, such as orchids, or large potted green plants.
[0034] In summary, besides the embodiments described above, this utility model may have other implementation methods. All technical solutions formed by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope claimed by this utility model.
