Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of horticultural technology, and in particular to a horticultural ceramic flowerpot with a moisture-retaining structure. Background Technology
[0002] Horticulture is an important branch of agriculture, referring to the cultivation, propagation, and management techniques of crops such as fruit trees, vegetables, and ornamental plants. It is divided into three main categories according to crop type: fruit tree horticulture, vegetable horticulture, and ornamental horticulture, encompassing the entire process of breeding, planting, storage, and processing. The cultivation and maintenance of flowers and green plants also fall under the umbrella of horticulture.
[0003] Conventional terracotta flowerpots require multiple waterings to ensure the surface water reaches the roots before watering again, repeating this process until all water is used. This results in low overall watering efficiency and makes it difficult to determine whether the roots at the bottom have been properly watered, leading to insufficient water absorption. Furthermore, the repeated watering process can easily cause water to overflow and create dirt around the plant. Therefore, a terracotta flowerpot with a moisture-retaining structure is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to address the aforementioned technical problems by providing a horticultural ceramic flowerpot with a moisture-retaining structure. This system comprises a circulation channel, overflow holes, an overflow cavity, and diversion holes, forming a three-dimensional irrigation system. During watering, excess water flows from the soil surface through a filter into the circulation channel, then through the overflow holes into the overflow cavity formed by the drainage protrusion and the inner pot wall. Finally, it slowly seeps out from the diversion holes located at the bottom. This process achieves top-down (soil surface infiltration) irrigation, ensuring uniform moisture distribution across all soil layers. This avoids the problems of "wet top, dry bottom" or uneven water supply that may occur with traditional watering methods, significantly improving the overall moisture retention duration and effectiveness.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A horticultural ceramic flowerpot with a moisture-retaining structure includes an outer ceramic pot, an inner moisture-retaining pot placed inside the outer ceramic pot, a cultivation chamber inside the inner moisture-retaining pot, a drainage protrusion for watering fixed on the side wall of the cultivation chamber, a circulation groove opened at the top edge of the inner moisture-retaining pot, and an overflow hole in the circulation groove corresponding to the position of the drainage protrusion for watering.
[0007] The surface of the drainage protrusion pouring part has diversion holes, and an overflow cavity is formed between the drainage protrusion pouring part and the inner moisturizing basin. The diversion holes are distributed in the lower part of the drainage protrusion pouring part.
[0008] The drainage protrusion pouring part has multiple parts, and a groove area is formed between the multiple drainage protrusion pouring parts. An exchange groove is opened in the groove area corresponding to the position of the circulation groove, and a filter screen is embedded in the exchange groove.
[0009] The circulation tank is connected to the exchange tank.
[0010] Furthermore, the inner humidifying basin is equipped with a sealing unit, and rotating the sealing unit can cause the filter screen to unfold or seal.
[0011] Furthermore, the sealing unit includes a connecting top ring, with an inner sealing plate fixed to the bottom of the connecting top ring corresponding to the inner side of the exchange slot, and an outer sealing plate fixed to the bottom wall of the connecting top ring corresponding to the outer side of the exchange slot.
[0012] Furthermore, the inner side of the inner sealing plate is attached to the side wall of the inner moisturizing basin, and the inner side of the outer sealing plate is attached to the side wall of the circulation channel.
[0013] Furthermore, the inner humidifying basin has a drainage hole at the edge of its bottom wall, and the outer ceramic basin has a water storage chamber corresponding to the drainage hole.
[0014] Furthermore, a moisture-retaining water-guiding rope is threaded through the center of the bottom of the inner moisture-retaining basin, with one end of the moisture-retaining water-guiding rope extending into the cultivation chamber and the other end extending into the water storage chamber.
[0015] Furthermore, the top of the outer ceramic basin has a limiting overlapping protrusion, and the limiting overlapping protrusion has an overlapping groove. The inner moisturizing basin is assembled with the overlapping groove through a connecting part.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] This utility model provides a terracotta garden pot with a moisture-retaining structure, which forms a three-dimensional irrigation system through a circulation channel, overflow holes, an overflow cavity, and diversion holes. During watering, excess water enters the circulation channel from the soil surface through a filter screen, then flows through the overflow holes into the overflow cavity formed by the drainage protrusion and the inner pot wall, and finally slowly seeps out from the diversion holes located at the bottom. This process achieves top-down (soil surface infiltration) irrigation, ensuring that all layers of the soil are evenly moistened. This avoids the problems of "wet top, dry bottom" or uneven water supply that may occur with traditional watering methods, improving the efficiency of garden irrigation and significantly enhancing the overall moisture retention time and effect.
[0018] By incorporating a rotatable sealing unit, users can actively control the garden irrigation mode. When the filter is exposed, it allows for thorough and complete watering, ensuring water penetrates deeply into the soil. When the sealing unit is rotated to cover the filter, water is trapped within the circulation channel, directly irrigating the bottom of the soil. Alternatively, it can concentrate irrigation on the soil surface. This adjustability allows the garden pot to adapt to the water requirements of different plants (e.g., some plants dislike water accumulation on their leaves or at the base of their stems) and the gardening needs of different seasons and weather conditions, greatly enhancing the practicality and applicability of the gardening product.
[0019] The drainage holes at the bottom of the inner moisture-retaining pot work in conjunction with the water storage chamber of the outer ceramic pot to store a small amount of water that cannot be absorbed by the soil in time, forming an emergency water source. At the same time, the moisture-retaining water-guiding rope uses capillary action to continuously transport water from the water storage chamber to the soil in the cultivation chamber, providing a stable water supply for the roots of horticultural plants and further extending the watering interval.
[0020] The separate inner and outer pot structure not only facilitates manufacturing and cleaning, but the air layer between them also enhances heat insulation performance. The inner pot is assembled with the outer pot through a connecting part and an overlapping groove, ensuring a stable connection while guaranteeing air circulation between the inside and outside of the pot, maintaining the excellent breathability inherent in terracotta pots, and effectively preventing root hypoxia and rot.

[0033] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0034] Example 1
[0035] Please refer to Figures 1-6 A horticultural ceramic flowerpot with a moisture-retaining structure includes an outer ceramic pot 1, an inner moisture-retaining pot 2 placed inside the outer ceramic pot 1, a cultivation chamber 21 inside the inner moisture-retaining pot 2, a drainage protrusion irrigation part 22 fixed on the side wall of the cultivation chamber 21, and a circulation groove 23 opened at the top edge of the inner moisture-retaining pot 2, with an overflow hole 24 in the circulation groove 23 corresponding to the position of the drainage protrusion irrigation part 22.
[0036] The surface of the drainage protrusion pouring part 22 has a diversion hole 25, and the drainage protrusion pouring part 22 and the inner moisturizing basin 2 together form an overflow cavity 26. The diversion hole 25 is distributed in the lower part of the drainage protrusion pouring part 22.
[0037] like Figure 2 , Figure 6 As shown, there are multiple drainage protrusions and pouring parts 22, and a groove region 220 is formed between the multiple drainage protrusions and pouring parts 22. An exchange groove 27 is provided in the groove region 220 at the position corresponding to the circulation groove 23, and a filter screen 270 is embedded in the exchange groove 27.
[0038] The inner humidifying basin 2 is equipped with a sealing unit 3. Rotating the sealing unit 3 can cause the filter screen 270 to unfold or be sealed.
[0039] In practical applications, ensure that the sealing unit 3 is in the open state (i.e., the inner sealing plate 32 and the outer sealing plate 33 do not block the exchange groove 27), and water the soil surface of the cultivation chamber 21. Some of the water will seep directly down. When the watering speed exceeds the instantaneous infiltration capacity of the soil, the excess water will flow into the circulation groove 23 through the filter screen 270. The water in the circulation groove 23 will flow into the corresponding overflow chamber 26 through each overflow hole 24.
[0040] Water accumulates in the overflow chamber 26 and slowly seeps out through the lower branching holes 25 into the surrounding soil. This process achieves "three-dimensional irrigation"—water infiltrates downwards from the top of the soil while simultaneously spreading outwards from the lower soil layers—resulting in highly uniform soil moisture. This ensures even wetting of all soil layers, avoiding the problems of "wet tops and dry bottoms" or uneven water supply that can occur with traditional gardening watering methods. It improves the efficiency of gardening irrigation and significantly enhances the overall moisture retention time and effect.
[0041] Example 2
[0042] The garden ceramic flowerpot with a moisture-retaining structure provided in Example 1 has been further optimized, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the sealing unit 3 includes a connecting top ring 31, with an inner sealing plate 32 fixed to the bottom of the connecting top ring 31 corresponding to the inner side of the exchange groove 27, and an outer sealing plate 33 fixed to the bottom of the connecting top ring 31 corresponding to the outer side of the exchange groove 27.
[0043] The inner sealing plate 32 is attached to the side wall of the inner moisturizing basin 2, and the inner sealing plate 33 is attached to the side wall of the circulation groove 23. The circulation groove 23 is connected to the exchange groove 27.
[0044] When watering different horticultural plants according to their water requirements, such as when rapid and thorough watering is needed or when water accumulation on the leaves / stem base needs to be avoided, the sealing unit 3 can be rotated so that the inner sealing plate 32 and the outer sealing plate 33 respectively block the inner and outer sides of the exchange tank 27 (it should be noted that the barrier in this embodiment is only a relative barrier, not a complete seal of water, but a significant reduction in the rate of seepage through the filter screen 270), preventing water from directly entering the circulation tank 23 from the soil surface. At this time, water is mainly absorbed downwards from the soil surface.
[0045] When bottom water replenishment is required: the exchange tank 27 is sealed, and water is slowly injected directly into the circulation tank 23. The water will enter the overflow chamber 26 through the overflow hole 24, and then directly moisten the lower layer of soil through the diversion hole 25, achieving precise bottom water supply.
[0046] Example 3
[0047] The garden ceramic flowerpot with a moisture-retaining structure provided in Embodiment 1 or 2 is further optimized, such as... Figure 6 The inner humidifying basin 2 shown has a drainage hole 28 at the edge of the bottom wall, and the outer ceramic basin 1 has a water storage chamber 11 corresponding to the drainage hole 28.
[0048] A moisture-retaining water-guiding rope 29 is threaded through the center of the bottom of the inner moisture-retaining basin 2. One end of the moisture-retaining water-guiding rope 29 extends into the cultivation chamber 21, and the other end extends into the water storage chamber 11.
[0049] The top of the outer ceramic basin 1 has a limiting overlapping protrusion 12, and the limiting overlapping protrusion 12 has an overlapping groove 13. The inner moisturizing basin 2 is assembled with the overlapping groove 13 through the connecting part 14.
[0050] If a large amount of water is applied at once, the water that is not fully absorbed by the soil will flow through the drainage hole 28 at the bottom of the inner moisturizing pot 2 into the water storage chamber 11 at the bottom of the outer ceramic pot 1 to prevent root rot.
[0051] As the soil gradually dries out, the water in the water storage chamber 11 will be continuously guided upwards to the soil in the cultivation chamber 21 through the capillary action of the moisturizing water-guiding rope 29, providing continuous moisture and water for the plants, which is especially suitable for the owner to go away for a short period of time.
