Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of horticultural technology, specifically relating to a ceramic flowerpot that prevents water overflow. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, indoor and outdoor flower planting is becoming increasingly popular. Ceramic flower pots are loved by consumers for their beauty and durability. Currently, some indoor plants are planted using mixed soil. The advantage of mixed soil is that the soil is relatively loose, which is conducive to plant growth. However, it requires frequent watering. In addition, mixed soil absorbs and permeates water quickly. Therefore, when watering, a large amount of water is poured into the ceramic flower pot. Because of the rapid permeation, no water may be visible on the surface of the mixed soil at first. However, when there is enough water in the mixed soil, a large amount of water will accumulate at the mouth of the flower pot and cannot be drained in time. It may even overflow. The soil in the flower pot will flow out along with the overflowing water, which will stain the indoor floor.

[0003] However, some existing flower pots have trays at the bottom, but when the trays are used, the water that overflows will accumulate on top of the trays. When the trays and flower pots need to be moved, the water on the trays will inevitably spill out, which requires cleaning the bottom plate. In addition, the water that overflows from the flower pots and accumulates on top of the trays will turn yellow or black when viewed from a long distance, and will also breed bacteria, thus causing indoor environmental pollution.

[0004] Therefore, an overflow-proof ceramic flowerpot was designed to overcome the aforementioned technical defects. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0026] This specific embodiment is a water-proof ceramic flowerpot, and its structural diagram is shown below. Figures 1-8 As shown, the flowerpot includes a flowerpot body 1, with several evenly distributed drainage holes 9 at the bottom of the flowerpot body 1. A water storage shell 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the flowerpot body 1. The top of the water storage shell 7 is not closed. An anti-overflow mechanism is provided inside the flowerpot body 1 near the top. A water collection and diversion mechanism is provided on the outer wall of the flowerpot body 1. The water collection and diversion mechanism is fixedly connected to the water storage shell 7.

[0027] In this technical solution, the water storage bottom shell 7 is made of plastic. Plastic has the characteristics of rust and corrosion resistance, and can protect the flowerpot body 1, so that when the ceramic flowerpot body 1 is moved, there is no need to worry about the bottom being broken.

[0028] like Figures 2-6 As shown, the anti-overflow mechanism includes a buoyancy ring 2 inside the flowerpot body 1. A water-blocking ring 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the buoyancy ring 2. The inner wall of the water-blocking ring 3 is inclined near the top. The top of the buoyancy ring 2 has evenly distributed limiting holes 11. T-shaped rods 10 are evenly distributed above the buoyancy ring 2. The bottom end of the T-shaped rods 10 passes through the limiting holes 11 and extends to the bottom of the buoyancy ring 2, where a fixing plate 12 is fixedly connected. One side of the fixing plate 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the flowerpot body 1.

[0029] The buoyancy ring 2 in this technical solution is made of EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer), which is the most common material for buoyancy boards. It is water-resistant, and its closed-cell structure makes it non-absorbent, moisture-proof, and has good water resistance. It also has excellent corrosion resistance, and is antibacterial, non-toxic, odorless, and pollution-free. It is easy to process, has no joints, and is easy to perform hot pressing, cutting, gluing, and bonding. The T-shaped rod 10 and the fixing plate 12 can limit the position of the buoyancy ring 2, so that the buoyancy ring 2 will not descend, but it will also rise a certain distance to prevent the buoyancy ring 2 from detaching from the flowerpot body 1.

[0030] like Figures 2-8 As shown, the water diversion mechanism includes a transfer shell 6 fixed on the outer wall of the flowerpot body 1. The outer wall of the flowerpot body 1 has evenly distributed overflow holes 5, which are located inside the transfer shell 6. A connecting pipe 8 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the transfer shell 6. The connecting pipe 8 is connected to the inside of the transfer shell 6. The bottom end of the connecting pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom water storage shell 7, which is connected to the inside of the connecting pipe 8.

[0031] The connecting pipe 8 in this technical solution is made of transparent material, so that it is clear whether the water is flowing into the water storage bottom shell 7. In addition, multiple connecting pipes 8 can be installed according to actual needs, so that the water entering the transfer shell 6 can enter the water storage bottom shell 7 more quickly.

[0032] The bottom of the buoyancy ring 2 is fixedly connected to a filter screen 4. After the filter screen 4 rises with the buoyancy ring 2, it will be located at the entrance of the overflow hole 5. In this way, the scum generated by the mixture of water and soil in the flowerpot body 1 will be intercepted, preventing the overflow hole 5 from being blocked.

[0033] In addition, an externally threaded drain pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the water storage bottom shell 7. An internally threaded plug 14 is installed on the side wall of the externally threaded drain pipe 13. The externally threaded drain pipe 13 is connected to the inside of the water storage bottom shell 7. Water in the water storage bottom shell 7 can be drained through the externally threaded drain pipe 13. A drain pipe can be connected through the external thread on the externally threaded drain pipe 13, so that excess water in the water storage bottom shell 7 can be drained in time.

[0034] Among them, several limiting holes 11 and T-shaped rods 10 are arranged in a circular array. The evenly distributed limiting holes 11 can tilt when the buoyancy ring 2 rises, so that the buoyancy ring 2 will not be pulled.

[0035] Working Principle: When using this technology, first place the flowerpot body 1 in the desired location. Then, plant the desired plant inside the flowerpot body 1 using clay or a mixed soil. Water then pours in. When the appropriate amount of water is poured, excess water will enter the water storage shell 7 through the drainage hole 9. If overwatering occurs and the water cannot penetrate in time, the water in the flowerpot body 1 will contact the buoyancy ring 2. As the water level rises, it will also cause the buoyancy ring 2 and the water-blocking ring 3 to rise, thus increasing the flowerpot's volume. The water-blocking ring 3 will intercept the overflowing water inside the flowerpot body 1, preventing it from overflowing. At this time, the water in the flowerpot body 1 will enter the transfer shell 6 through the overflow hole 5, and then enter the water storage shell 7 through the connecting pipe 8 for storage. When the buoyancy ring 2 rises, it will also cause... The filter screen 4 rises and is located at the inlet of the overflow hole 5. This intercepts soil impurities in the flowerpot body 1, preventing mixed soil scum from entering the transfer shell 6 and connecting pipe 8, thus effectively preventing the overflow hole 5 from becoming clogged. As the water level in the flowerpot body 1 gradually decreases, the buoyancy ring 2 also decreases accordingly. When the water level in the flowerpot body 1 is insufficient, the water will seep through the overflow hole 5 and then through the drain hole 9 into the water storage bottom shell 7 via natural soil permeation. The above operation effectively solves the problem of water overflowing from the flowerpot body 1. The internal threaded plug 14 can be removed when needed to drain the water in the water storage bottom shell 7. If necessary, it can be connected to the external threaded drain pipe 13 via an external drain pipe, allowing the water in the water storage bottom shell 7 to be drained to a designated location, making it more convenient to use.

[0036] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0037] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
