Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of planting devices, specifically to a vertically stacked planting device based on snap-fit ​​connection. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, traditional planting boxes are fixed single structures that lack flexible expansion capabilities. They cannot adapt to diverse spatial layout needs, nor can they be dynamically adjusted according to the plant's growth stage. While vertical planting systems attempt to break through spatial limitations, they generally rely on complex metal supports or bolt fastening methods, resulting in cumbersome assembly and disassembly processes, increased maintenance costs, and severely restricting the user experience. The biggest problem is that when multiple layers are stacked, the connection points of the boxes are prone to water leakage due to structural design defects. At the same time, the mechanical stability between stacked units is insufficient, which not only wastes water resources and causes root rot, but also poses a risk of tipping over, ultimately posing a double threat to planting efficiency and operational safety.

[0003] To address this, a vertical stacking planting device based on snap-fit ​​connections is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned planting devices, this utility model is proposed.

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a vertical stacking planting device based on snap-fit ​​connection, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

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

[0007] A vertically stacked planting device based on snap-fit ​​connection includes a planting box body, the top of which is open, and a plurality of evenly distributed connecting snaps are fixed around the bottom edge of the planting box body.

[0008] The bottom of the planting box body is provided with first drainage channels on both sides, and the interior of the planting box body is provided with a rotating partition. On both sides of the rotating partition, and at positions corresponding to the two first drainage channels, there are second drainage channels.

[0009] The planting box body has a rotating shaft at the bottom center, the upper end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the lower surface center of the rotating partition, and the lower end of the rotating shaft extends to the bottom of the planting box body.

[0010] A perforated partition is fixedly installed inside the planting box body and above the rotating partition.

[0011] Preferably, the wall thickness of the planting box body is 3cm, and the distance between two adjacent connecting buckles is 3.5cm.

[0012] Preferably, the lower surface of the rotating partition is in sliding contact with the bottom inner wall of the planting box body, and the circumferential wall of the rotating partition is in sliding contact with the inner side wall of the planting box body.

[0013] Furthermore, the first drainage channel and the second drainage channel are the same size, and both the first drainage channel and the second drainage channel adopt an arc-shaped opening with a radius of 3cm and an arc length of 14cm.

[0014] Preferably, the connecting buckle and the planting box body are integrally molded, and the planting box body, rotating partition and porous partition are all made of UV-resistant modified PP plastic sheet.

[0015] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:

[0016] 1. Vertical stacking structure design: Achieve geometric growth in planting density within a limited planar space. Experimental data shows that compared with the traditional horizontal planting system, the vertical stacking solution can save more than 70% of the floor space occupied (taking a 1㎡ balcony as an example, the traditional system can only accommodate 6-8 individual planting boxes, while 30-40 crops can be planted after 5 layers of vertical stacking). This space-saving feature is particularly suitable for high-density urban living environments, which can effectively expand the scale of family planting, and at the same time, support the construction of small-scale commercial vertical farms.

[0017] 2. Comprehensive optimization of structural stability: The snap-lock design integrates mechanical simulation and material innovation. Compared with the traditional bolt fixing system (which requires regular checks for loose nuts), the snap-lock structure requires no manual intervention during long-term use, significantly reducing safety hazards.

[0018] 3. Significantly reduced maintenance costs throughout the entire life cycle: Modular snap-fit ​​connections eliminate the need for complex processes such as traditional bolts and welding. Users can quickly disassemble the unit by pressing and separating. In addition, the integrated self-draining channel design reduces component corrosion caused by leakage. Combined with the use of weather-resistant materials (UV-resistant modified PP plastic), the outdoor service life of the device is extended to 8-10 years, and the overall maintenance cost is reduced by more than 80%.

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5 The illustrated vertical stacking planting device based on snap-fit ​​connections includes a planting box body 1. The top of the planting box body 1 is open, and multiple evenly distributed connecting snaps 2 are fixed around the bottom edge of the planting box body 1. The wall thickness of the planting box body 1 is 3cm, and the distance between two adjacent connecting snaps 2 is 3.5cm. This ensures that when the planting box bodies 1 are vertically stacked, the gap between two adjacent connecting snaps 2 on the upper planting box body 1 is inserted into the top opening of the lower planting box body 1. The connecting snaps 2 and the planting box body 1 are integrally molded, which improves the strength of the connecting snaps 2 and makes them less prone to breakage and damage. The planting box body 1, the rotating partition 4, and the porous partition 7 are all made of UV-resistant modified PP plastic sheets. UV-resistant modified PP plastic is a plastic material that is modified on the basis of polypropylene (PP) plastic by adding anti-ultraviolet (UV) additives to improve its UV resistance.

[0031] The bottom of the planting box body 1 is provided with first drainage channels 3 on both sides. The inside of the planting box body 1 is provided with a rotating partition 4. The lower surface of the rotating partition 4 is in sliding contact with the bottom inner wall of the planting box body 1, and the circumferential wall of the rotating partition 4 is in sliding contact with the inner side wall of the planting box body 1, which can improve the sealing between the rotating partition 4 and the planting box body 1. The two sides of the rotating partition 4 and the corresponding positions of the two first drainage channels 3 are provided with second drainage channels 5. The first drainage channels 3 and the second drainage channels 5 have the same size, and both the first drainage channels 3 and the second drainage channels 5 adopt an arc-shaped opening with a radius of 3cm and an arc length of 14cm.

[0032] A rotating shaft 6 is provided at the bottom center of the planting box body 1. The upper end of the rotating shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the lower center of the rotating partition 4, and the lower end of the rotating shaft 6 extends to the bottom of the planting box body 1. The user rotates the lower end of the rotating shaft 6 by hand, which drives the rotating partition 4 to align the second drainage channel 5 on the rotating partition 4 with the first drainage channel 3 at the bottom of the planting box body 1, so that excess water inside the planting box body 1 can be drained.

[0033] A perforated partition 7 is fixedly installed inside the planting box body 1 and above the rotating partition 4. The upper surface of the perforated partition 7 can fix the plant roots while ensuring the circulation of water and air.

[0034] Home balcony planting scenario: Stack the three planting box bodies 1 vertically, and insert the connecting buckle 2 from the bottom edge of the upper planting box body 1 into the top opening of the lower planting box body 1 (e.g., Figure 5 To fully utilize space, increase planting density, and meet the planting needs of different scenarios, this design is a single planting unit for planting suitable flowers for balconies. Two layers are vertically stacked using a snap-fit ​​structure. The first drainage channel 3 at the bottom of the upper planting box 1 corresponds to the top opening of the lower planting box 1, forming a continuous drainage path. The top layer is connected to a drip irrigation pipe to supply water evenly to each layer at regular intervals. During the planting process, if water accumulates inside the planting box 1, the lower end of the rotating shaft 6 can be rotated to drive the rotating partition 4, aligning the second drainage channel 5 on the rotating partition 4 with the first drainage channel 3 at the bottom of the planting box 1, allowing excess water to drain out and preventing plant roots from rotting due to water accumulation. The plants are planted on the porous partition 7, which can fix the plant roots and ensure water and air circulation. The entire device is made of UV-resistant modified PP plastic board, which is durable and can ensure the continuous growth of plants in a good environment.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] like Figure 6 Example 2, based on Example 1, increases the number of planting box bodies 1 for use as street flower box landscape partitions. By stacking multiple planting units, a small-area flower wall can be achieved, realizing the dual functions of pedestrian street decoration and partition.

[0037] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
