Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garden planting technology, and more specifically, to a root ventilation and isolation device for garden plants. Background Technology

[0002] In the construction and maintenance of landscaping, the growth environment of plant roots plays a crucial role in their survival rate and growth. Especially in urban parks, soil compaction, waterlogging, or poor aeration often create unfavorable underground environments, leading to chronic oxygen deficiency in plant roots. This severely impacts their respiratory metabolism and nutrient absorption, resulting in root rot, yellowing leaves, and even plant death. Furthermore, some plants have vigorous root systems that can easily penetrate sidewalks, building foundations, or other underground infrastructure, causing damage.

[0003] Therefore, how to effectively improve the air permeability of the growing environment while ensuring normal root growth, and how to reasonably guide and isolate the root system, has become an important issue in the cultivation technology of garden plants. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a root ventilation and isolation device for garden plants, which aims to balance good ventilation performance and root isolation function, thereby optimizing the root growth environment of plants.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A root ventilation and isolation device for garden plants includes a insertion ring for planting plants. The insertion ring includes an inner ring and an outer ring spaced apart. The tops of the inner ring and the outer ring are connected by a connecting ring. The connecting ring has an outward arched structure and multiple first ventilation holes are provided along its circumference.

[0007] The bottom of the inner ring is connected to the outer ring by a guide ring with an outwardly flared opening, and the guide ring has a plurality of second vents along the circumferential direction.

[0008] The bottom of the outer ring is provided with multiple spaced insert plates for inserting the ring into the soil;

[0009] The inner ring has a plurality of first connection holes arranged circumferentially on its sidewall.

[0010] Furthermore, the first vent is located at the top of the connecting ring, and retaining rings are provided at intervals above the connecting ring. The cross-section of the retaining ring is arched upwards, and the retaining ring is connected to the connecting ring through a support rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer ring has a plurality of second connecting holes circumferentially formed on its sidewall.

[0012] Furthermore, the diameter of the second connecting hole is smaller than the diameter of the first connecting hole.

[0013] Furthermore, each of the insert plates is provided with an arched portion facing outward.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom of each of the insert plates is provided in a pointed conical shape.

[0015] Furthermore, a filter plate is laid on the guide ring.

[0016] Furthermore, the lengths of the various insert plates are different.

[0017] The technical solution of this utility model has at least the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This utility model forms a ring-shaped ventilation space by setting the inner ring and outer ring at intervals. Combined with the first vent distributed circumferentially on the connecting ring and the second vent on the guide ring, air can circulate fully between the inner ring and the outer ring, which significantly improves the ventilation performance of the plant root area, improves the soil environment that is prone to compaction and lack of oxygen, and reduces the risk of plant root rot.

[0019] Meanwhile, the connection ring and guide ring structure not only stabilize the positional relationship between the inner and outer rings and enhance the overall structural strength of the device, but also stabilize the plant body during planting, preventing problems such as plant shaking and tipping. It also helps the plant roots grow naturally downward along the flaring direction of the guide ring, thereby avoiding damage to underground facilities caused by lateral spread and achieving effective guidance and isolation of the root system.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0025] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example

[0026] The following is for reference Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, and further explained with reference to specific embodiments, this embodiment provides a root ventilation and isolation device for garden plants, including a ring 1. The ring 1 is used for planting plants. The ring 1 can be made of materials with strong corrosion resistance and stable structure, such as stainless steel, engineering plastics or high-density polyethylene (HDPE), to adapt to the long-term buried use requirements under different soil environments, and to ensure that the device has good weather resistance and mechanical properties in the outdoor environment. Its structural design fully considers the ventilation requirements and spatial guidance characteristics of plant roots during the growth process, effectively improving the growth environment of plant roots and preventing the roots from spreading laterally to underground pipelines or surrounding facilities.

[0027] The insert ring 1 includes an inner ring 11 and an outer ring 12 spaced apart, forming an annular cavity that serves as an air circulation channel, improving the overall ventilation performance of the root zone. The tops of the inner ring 11 and the outer ring 12 are connected by a connecting ring 13, which has an outward arched structure. Its arched design ensures connection strength while guiding rainwater or irrigation water outward, preventing water from accumulating between the inner and outer rings 12 and thus maintaining soil aeration.

[0028] The connecting ring 13 is located above ground A. The connecting ring 13 has multiple first air vents 131 arranged evenly along its circumference. Together with the cavity channel between the inner and outer rings 12, air can flow in from the outside, improving the overall gas exchange capacity and effectively alleviating the problem of poor ventilation in the soil caused by long-term irrigation or compaction, thereby reducing the risk of root rot due to lack of oxygen.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a guide ring 14 with an outwardly flared opening connects the bottom of the inner ring 11 to the outer ring 12. This guide ring 14 extends outward and downward at a certain angle, forming a natural root growth guidance channel. This effectively guides plant roots to grow downward, preventing them from spreading laterally to the surrounding area and reducing the risk of interference with roads, pipelines, or landscape structures. It also facilitates the downward insertion of the insertion ring 1. The guide ring 14 also has multiple second ventilation holes 141 along its circumference. These ventilation holes, combined with the airflow within the ring cavity, further improve the ventilation efficiency of the area below the entire device, creating a more root-friendly ecological microenvironment.

[0030] The bottom of the outer ring 12 is provided with multiple spaced insert plates 15 for firmly inserting the insert ring 1 into the soil. These insert plates 15 act as anchoring components to ensure that the insert ring 1 does not shift or tilt during plant planting and subsequent maintenance, which helps to maintain the vertical and stable growth direction of the plant.

[0031] The inner ring 11 has multiple first connection holes 111 arranged circumferentially on its sidewalls, which can achieve effective ventilation and water infiltration inside and outside the ring structure, and provide a penetration path for plant roots to promote the downward extension and balanced development of roots. In another embodiment, the first connection hole 111 can also be used as an installation interface for planting accessories such as drip irrigation pipes and drainage lines, enhancing the functional expandability and scene adaptability of the device, and meeting the integration needs of different plant species and maintenance systems in landscaping.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the first vent 131 is located at the top of the connecting ring 13 to maximize air exchange in the top area of ​​the device. Simultaneously, baffle rings 2 are installed at intervals above the connecting ring 13. These baffle rings 2 have an upward-arched cross-section, and their geometry effectively directs water flow outwards, preventing water from directly penetrating the connecting ring 13 and flowing into the cavity between the inner and outer rings 12, thus avoiding localized water accumulation. The baffle rings 2 are connected to the connecting ring 13 via support rods 21. The support rods 21 allow the baffle rings 2 to float at a certain height above the connecting ring 13, facilitating air convection and providing appropriate protection for the plant root collar area, thus mitigating soil erosion.

[0033] Furthermore, the outer ring 12 has multiple second connecting holes 121 circumferentially formed on its sidewalls. These second connecting holes 121 not only enhance air circulation between the inside and outside of the outer ring 12, but also assist in drainage during rainfall or irrigation, preventing water accumulation inside the outer ring 12 and improving the aeration and humidity control of the plant root growth environment, thereby reducing the risk of soil compaction and root rot. The rational distribution of multiple circular connecting holes enables the entire outer ring 12 to have circumferential ventilation and rapid water infiltration functions, effectively improving the adaptability of the device in rainy or humid areas.

[0034] Furthermore, the first connecting hole 111 has an elongated shape. Compared with the circular hole structure, the elongated hole has a larger ventilation area and better water and air exchange capacity, which facilitates the convection of internal and external air and significantly improves the ventilation of the soil layer inside the device. At the same time, the elongated structure can also provide a free passage for small roots, guiding the roots to naturally extend to the ventilation space between the inner and outer rings 12, further improving the ventilation and downward penetration of the roots.

[0035] The second connecting hole 121 is circular in shape, and its diameter is smaller than that of the first connecting hole 111. This design takes into account the needs of gas exchange and water infiltration, while also considering structural strength and sealing requirements. The smaller hole diameter can effectively prevent impurities such as mud and sand from flowing back into the ventilation channel, ensuring that the ventilation holes are unobstructed, improving the long-term stability of the system, maintaining a good microenvironmental circulation, and providing long-lasting and balanced ventilation and drainage conditions for plant roots.

[0036] As an optional embodiment, each insert plate 15 is integrally provided with an arched portion 151 extending outward. The arched portion 151 can undergo elastic deformation during insertion, enhancing the friction and stable contact area between the insert ring 1 and the planting groove, preventing the device from loosening or shaking due to wind or soil disturbance, and enhancing pull-out resistance, making it particularly suitable for sloping or soft soil environments. It should be noted that the arched portion 151 has a certain strength to facilitate the normal downward insertion of the insert plate 15.

[0037] As an optional embodiment, the bottom of each insert plate 15 is set in a pointed cone shape. The pointed cone structure helps the insert plate 15 to be quickly and easily inserted into the soil, reducing interference with the root system or soil structure, while forming an anchoring effect in the soil, further improving the overall pull-out resistance and anti-lateral displacement performance of the insert ring 1.

[0038] In addition, a filter plate 3 is laid on the guide ring 14. The filter plate 3 is set on the top or inside of the guide ring 14 and can be made of materials such as filter cloth or water-permeable but mud-impermeable mesh cloth. It has good air permeability and mud interception, which can prevent soil particles from clogging the fine air vents (not shown in the figure) and keep the water and air exchange smooth, ensuring the long-term operation of the device and reducing the frequency of maintenance.

[0039] As an optional embodiment, the multiple insertion plates 15 are of different lengths. By setting insertion plates 15 of different lengths, on the one hand, it can adapt to various terrain undulations, enabling the device to be stably inserted even in complex surface environments such as inclined, uneven, and sloping surfaces. This ensures that the insertion ring 1 as a whole remains stable on uneven ground, effectively preventing the device from tilting or loosening, and improving its adaptability and ease of installation. On the other hand, the insertion plates 15 of different lengths will form different burial depths in the vertical direction when inserted into the soil. This structural feature helps guide the plant roots to extend and grow towards the shorter side of the insertion plate 15, thereby forming a radially expanding root system in the soil, further improving the plant's wind resistance and anti-overturning ability during planting, and enhancing the overall stability of the plant. At the same time, the difference in the distribution of the insertion plates 15 of different lengths also helps to create a three-dimensional ventilation channel system, further improving the aeration and soil activity of the root growth area.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
