Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a plant cultivation container, and more particularly to a flower pot for growing flowers. Background Technology
[0002] Most common flowerpots have drainage holes at the bottom and are placed on a tray. This type of flowerpot has several drawbacks. Because the tray at the bottom of the pot is used to collect excess water seeping from the soil, water often accumulates at the bottom of the pot and in the tray. Prolonged soaking of the soil at the bottom can easily lead to root rot. The relatively enclosed bottom of the pot results in poor soil aeration, which is detrimental to root growth. The tray also easily becomes soiled and dirty with excess water, affecting both aesthetics and hygiene. Furthermore, the need for an external tray to collect excess water detracts from the overall appearance of the flowerpot and makes it inconvenient to hang it. Besides ordinary flowerpots, there are existing flowerpots with water-receiving drawers inside the bottom. For example, utility model patent CN201667859U discloses an "integrated flowerpot for receiving soil seepage water," which solves the drainage problem by setting a water-receiving drawer at the bottom of the flowerpot. Utility model patent CN222776654U discloses "a flowerpot" which solves the drainage problem by setting a water-receiving drawer and an inverted cylindrical cover at the bottom of the flowerpot. The drawbacks of such products are that the structure of the pot and the water-receiving drawer is relatively complex, which is not convenient for production and processing. In particular, when using ceramic throwing forming process, it has a significant adverse impact on production costs and efficiency. It is difficult to balance functionality, convenience and the overall aesthetics of the pot. Moreover, there is no drainage structure or component. Water flowing down from the seepage hole can easily flow along the outer wall of the bottom of the pot to the outside of the water-receiving drawer. The design of the pot and the water-receiving drawer not being connected to each other and being placed independently on the ground is inconvenient for moving or hanging the flowerpot. The utility model patent with announcement number CN201947705U discloses a "double-layer water-retaining flower pot with fine pore tray". Its defect is that the soil at the bottom is soaked in the water at the bottom of the flower pot. The soil particles will absorb a lot of water and become too humid, which will easily lead to root rot. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of existing ordinary flowerpots, such as water accumulation at the bottom leading to root rot, poor soil aeration hindering root growth, dirty trays affecting aesthetics and hygiene, and separate pots and trays disrupting the overall appearance and making hanging inconvenient, this utility model provides a flowerpot with an internal tray design. The tray is placed inside the lower part of the pot to support the soil, drain water, and allow ventilation. Excess water drains through the tray and accumulates at the bottom of the pot, isolating the soil from the water and preventing the soil from absorbing too much water due to particulate adsorption. Several openings are provided on the lower side wall of the pot for easy overflow, ventilation, observation, and cleaning. The upper part of the pot can be provided with a rolled edge or several small holes to facilitate hanging and moving the flowerpot.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a flower pot with an internal tray, including a pot body and a tray. The bottom surface of the pot body is closed without holes. Near the bottom of the inner side wall of the pot body, there is a boss that protrudes in the axial direction and tilts downward. The tray is placed on the boss on the side wall of the pot body. The tray is provided with several ventilation and water permeability holes. Below the boss, the side wall of the pot body is provided with no less than one ventilation and water overflow hole. The lower edge of the ventilation and water overflow hole is higher than the inner surface of the bottom of the pot. When the tray is placed on the boss, its lowest point is higher than the lower edge of the ventilation and water overflow hole.
[0005] The aforementioned built-in tray flowerpot has a side wall with downward-sloping protrusions and ventilation / overflow holes, and a closed bottom without holes. The pot body is divided from top to bottom into a soil-holding section, a ventilation / overflow section, and a water-retaining section. The part above the protrusions and tray holds soil; the space connecting the inside and outside from below the protrusions to the lower edge of the ventilation / overflow holes is the ventilation / overflow section; and the water-retaining section is the space from below the lower edge of the ventilation / overflow holes to the bottom of the pot.
[0006] The aforementioned built-in tray flowerpot has a raised platform located on the inner wall of the pot near the bottom. It protrudes horizontally towards the axis of the pot and tilts downwards to support the tray and the soil above it. It also has a drainage function to prevent excess water from flowing out of the pot through the ventilation and overflow holes along the inner wall of the pot. The raised platform can be continuously or intermittently distributed directly above the ventilation and overflow holes.
[0007] The aforementioned built-in tray flowerpot has a ventilation and overflow hole located below the protrusion on the side wall of the pot, penetrating the side wall and connecting the inner and outer spaces at the bottom of the pot. The lower edge of the hole is higher than the inner surface of the bottom of the pot.
[0008] The aforementioned built-in tray flowerpot has a tray placed horizontally on a raised platform on the inner wall of the pot. The outer diameter of the tray is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the raised platform. The tray is provided with several ventilation and water permeability holes that penetrate the upper and lower surfaces. The lowest point of the tray should be higher than the lower edge of the ventilation and water permeability holes to isolate the soil from the water.
[0009] The aforementioned built-in tray flowerpot, wherein the tray can also be designed as a structure composed of two or more detachable parts or a foldable structure, convenient for use with pots with smaller diameters and larger bottoms.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are that the flowerpot adopts an internal tray design, effectively eliminating the defects of ordinary flowerpots, such as needing to be placed on a tray, easy water accumulation at the bottom leading to root rot, poor soil aeration hindering root growth, and dirty trays affecting aesthetics and hygiene. It has a simple structure, beautiful appearance, is easy to manufacture and process, and facilitates hanging and moving the flowerpot. Attached Figure Description
