Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garden planting technology, and in particular to a garden planting box. Background Technology
[0002] With the advancement of sponge city construction, urban stormwater management requires that garden facilities possess rainwater infiltration, storage, and reuse functions. While traditional garden planting boxes, as landscape carriers, are widely used in urban greening, their single-cavity structure has the following technical defects, making it difficult to meet the requirements of sponge cities for rainwater resource utilization;
[0003] Traditional planting boxes use a single-chamber direct discharge structure and lack a graded water storage design. Rainwater is directly discharged into the municipal pipe network, which cannot achieve on-site rainwater absorption. As a result, the planting boxes still need to consume municipal water supply during the dry season. Utility Model Content

The first step is used to support the partition mesh plate.
[0011] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the partition mesh plate is provided with a support boss.
[0012] Furthermore, the top of the partition mesh plate is provided with reinforcing ribs arranged in a crisscross pattern, and the top of the partition mesh plate is also provided with filter cotton, a first filter screen and a planting layer in sequence, the filter cotton and the spacing formed by the reinforcing ribs being adapted to each other.
[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the guide channel is provided with a guide slope that is inclined toward the water inlet, and the inclination angle of the guide slope is 3-8°.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 2 The image shows a garden planting box according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprising:
[0026] The box body 10 is provided with a detachable partition mesh 11 inside the box body 10 to divide the inside of the box body 10 into an implantation chamber 12 and a liquid storage chamber 13;
[0027] Multiple water guides 30 are disposed inside the housing 10, with both ends of the water guides 30 extending into the planting cavity 12 and the liquid storage cavity 13 respectively, so that the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 13 can be introduced into the planting cavity 12.
[0028] An annular flow channel 20 is disposed at the top edge of the housing 10;
[0029] The water inlet component 21 is detachably installed inside the side wall of the housing 10. One end of the water inlet component 21 is connected to the guide channel, and the other end is connected to the liquid storage chamber 13, forming a guide channel for external liquid to flow into the liquid storage chamber 13.
[0030] It is worth noting that inside the box 10, a partition mesh 11 is first laid, followed by filter cotton 113, a first filter mesh 114, and a planting layer 115, on which plants are then planted. The partition mesh 11 divides the box 10 into a planting chamber 12 and a liquid storage chamber 13, enabling separate management of water and fertilizer, effectively preventing root rot caused by prolonged soaking, and facilitating cleaning and maintenance. Multiple water guides 30 utilize capillary action to continuously guide the liquid from the liquid storage chamber 13 into the planting chamber 12, achieving automatic water supply and reducing the frequency of manual watering.
[0031] When it rains or irrigation overflows, the rainwater is collected through the annular guide channel 20 and then directly introduced into the storage chamber 13 through the water inlet 21, converting the rainwater into a continuous irrigation resource and improving water resource utilization. In addition, the water inlet 21 is designed to be detachable. When cleaning is required, the water inlet 21 can be pulled out for cleaning and then inserted back in after cleaning, effectively preventing blockage.
[0032] In this embodiment, the housing 10 includes an integrally formed liquid storage shell 15, a planting shell 16, and a flow guiding shell 17. The dimensions of the liquid storage shell 15, the planting shell 16, and the flow guiding shell 17 increase sequentially, forming a first step 14 at the connection between the interior of the liquid storage shell 15 and the interior of the planting shell 16, and a second step 18 at the connection between the exterior of the planting shell 16 and the exterior of the flow guiding shell 17. The first step 14 supports the partition mesh 11. The gradient size design of the liquid storage shell 15, the planting shell 16, and the flow guiding shell 17, through the first step 14 and the second step 18, forms a stable support structure, simplifying the installation process and reducing the risk of assembly errors. The second step 18 facilitates the handling of the housing 10. The first step 14 directly supports the partition mesh 11, preventing the mesh from sinking due to the gravity of the planting layer 115 and extending its service life. It is understood that an overflow port is provided on the outside of the liquid storage shell 15 for draining when there is too much liquid in the liquid storage shell 15.
[0033] To further improve the stability of the partition mesh 11, a support boss 111 is provided on the bottom surface of the partition mesh 11. The support boss 111 is arranged in a cross shape, which disperses the pressure of the planting layer 115 and prevents local deformation of the mesh.
[0034] Furthermore, the top of the partition mesh plate 11 is provided with horizontally and vertically intersecting reinforcing ribs 112. The top of the partition mesh plate 11 is also sequentially provided with filter cotton 113, a first filter screen 114, and a planting layer 115, with the filter cotton 113 and the reinforcing ribs 112 forming a spacing that is compatible with each other. The horizontally and vertically intersecting reinforcing ribs 112 significantly improve the compressive strength of the partition mesh plate 11, adapting to the needs of multi-layer planting or heavy plant cultivation. The combined design of the filter cotton 113, the first filter screen 114, and the planting layer 115 effectively intercepts mud and sand impurities, preventing blockage of the liquid storage chamber 13, while maintaining the stability of the planting medium.
[0035] Furthermore, to accelerate the flow of liquid towards the inlet 21, the bottom of the guide channel is provided with a guide slope inclined towards the inlet 21, with an inclination angle of 3-8°. The 3-8° inclination angle of the guide slope accelerates the flow of liquid towards the inlet 21, reducing evaporation loss or dirt deposition caused by liquid stagnation.
[0036] In this embodiment, the side wall of the housing 10 is provided with a flow pipe 22 that matches the water inlet component 21. The inner wall of the flow pipe 22 is provided with a sealing ring. The flow pipe 22 includes an adapter groove 221, a collection groove 222, and a flow groove 223 connected in sequence. The size of the collection groove 222 decreases progressively from the adapter groove 221 towards the flow groove 223. The sealing ring on the inner wall of the flow pipe 22 ensures no leakage at the connection point of the water inlet component 21. The gradient size design of the adapter groove 221, collection groove 222, and flow groove 223 enhances connection stability. The gradient size of the collection groove 222 facilitates rainwater collection and installation alignment.
[0037] Please see Figures 3 to 4 More specifically, the water inlet component 21 includes an inlet hopper 211, an inlet pipe 212, an adapter block 213 extending outward from the outer edge of the inlet hopper 211, and a second filter screen 214 disposed at the top of the inlet hopper 211 and the bottom of the inlet pipe 212. The adapter block 213 engages with the adapter groove 221, and the inlet pipe 212 extends into the flow channel 223 and communicates with the storage chamber 13. The second filter screen 214 at the top of the inlet hopper 211 and the bottom of the inlet pipe 212 can intercept impurities such as fallen leaves and mud in stages, reducing the risk of blockage in the storage chamber 13. The engagement between the adapter block 213 and the adapter groove 221 limits the movement of the water inlet component 21 and prevents it from falling into the flow channel 22. In this embodiment, the inlet pipe 212 is a plastic flexible tube.
[0038] In this embodiment, the water guiding element 30 is a fiber rope made of capillary material, and a counterweight 31 is provided at the end of the fiber rope inside the liquid storage cavity 13. The design of the capillary fiber rope combined with the counterweight 31 ensures that the water guiding end is always immersed in the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 13, avoiding interruption of water guiding due to a drop in liquid level.
[0039] In summary, the garden planting box in the above embodiments of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0040] A removable partition mesh 11 is laid inside the housing 10, forming a layered planting chamber 12 and a liquid storage chamber 13, enabling separate water and fertilizer management and preventing plant roots from rotting due to prolonged soaking. Filter cotton 113, a first filter screen 114, and a planting layer 115 are sequentially laid on the partition mesh 11, forming a graded filtration system that effectively intercepts sediment and impurities, preventing blockage of the liquid storage chamber 13 and maintaining the stability of the planting medium. The removable design of the partition mesh 11 facilitates regular cleaning of the liquid storage chamber 13, preventing the accumulation of impurities after long-term use from affecting water conduction efficiency.
[0041] The planting chamber 12 and the liquid storage chamber 13 are connected by multiple water-guiding components 30 (such as capillary ropes). Capillary action is used to continuously and evenly guide the liquid from the liquid storage chamber 13 into the planting layer 115, achieving automatic water supply and significantly reducing the frequency of manual watering. A counterweight 31 is installed at the end of each water-guiding component 30 within the liquid storage chamber 13 to ensure it is always immersed in the liquid, preventing water leakage due to a drop in liquid level.
[0042] The annular guide channel 20 on the top of the tank 10 is designed to efficiently collect rainwater or irrigation overflow liquid, and directly guide it into the storage chamber 13 through the detachable water inlet 21 inside the side wall, converting rainwater into a continuous irrigation resource and improving water resource utilization. The bottom of the guide channel is provided with an inclined guide slope (3-8°) to accelerate the flow of liquid to the water inlet 21 and reduce stagnation, evaporation, or impurity deposition.
[0043] The water inlet component 21 adopts a plug-in structure (including adapter block 213 and sealing ring), which can be quickly pulled out to clean internal blockages and then reinstalled. The operation is convenient and requires no tools. Both the liquid inlet 211 and the liquid inlet pipe 212 of the water inlet component 21 are equipped with a second filter screen 214 to achieve double impurity interception and further reduce the risk of blockage.
[0044] It is evident that through the collaborative design of layered structure, capillary drainage, rainwater harvesting, and modular maintenance, this planting box significantly improves water resource utilization efficiency, reduces human intervention, and solves problems such as easy clogging, difficulty in cleaning, and poor structural stability of traditional planting boxes while ensuring healthy plant growth. It is suitable for diverse scenarios such as urban greening and home gardening. Its detachable and expandable features reduce maintenance costs.
