[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model discloses a bonsai maintenance device to solve the problem of high manpower and financial costs in bonsai maintenance.
[0006] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A bonsai maintenance device includes: a container, which is a hollow structure with an open top; a tray, which is disposed on the upper end of the container, and the tray includes: a pipe, which is disposed on the lower end of the tray, and the pipe has through holes running vertically through it; a filter and water absorption structure, which is disposed inside the pipe; and a planting trough, which is disposed on the upper end of the tray, and the planting trough contains planting soil, and the bottom of the planting trough has several through holes corresponding to the pipe; wherein, water is added to the container, and the upper end of the water submerges the lower end of the filter and water absorption structure.
[0008] A further technical solution is that the tray is secured to the upper end of the container; the filter and water absorption structure is secured inside the pipe or adhered to the pipe.
[0009] A further technical solution is that an extension is provided at the lower end of the tray, and the extension is inserted into the opening of the container; when the filter and water absorption structure is inserted into the pipe, two inner edges are provided at intervals inside the pipe, and the filter and water absorption structure is inserted between the two inner edges.
[0010] A further technical solution is that the water-absorbing filter structure is a sponge or cotton cloth.
[0011] A further technical solution is that the pipe and the tray are integrally formed.
[0012] A further technical solution is that the bonsai maintenance device also includes a funnel, the funnel including a bucket part and a tube part connected to the lower end of the bucket part, the bucket part being located outside the container, and the tube part extending through the tray into the container.
[0013] A further technical solution is that a cover is rotatably provided on the upper end of the bucket.
[0014] A further technical solution is to provide an air vent on the outside of the container.
[0015] A further technical solution is that there is a gap between the upper end of the filter and water absorption structure and the lower end of the planting trough.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model embodiment are as follows:
[0017] (I) The bonsai maintenance device of this utility model includes a container, a tray, and a planting trough. By placing the tray on the container, placing the planting trough containing planting soil and plants on the tray, and adding water to the container to cover the lower end of the filter and water absorption structure, the filter and water absorption structure absorbs water and filters impurities in the water. Water evaporation increases the soil moisture at the bottom of the planting trough. When the moisture is sufficient, it can continuously keep the soil moist. The structure is simple and the maintenance requires low labor and economic costs.
[0018] At the same time, since the tray, planting trough and container are set up separately, it is easy to install and replace each of the components, and the replacement cost is low.
[0019] (ii) Furthermore, the filter and water absorption structure is embedded inside the pipe to prevent it from detaching, facilitating disassembly and recycling. Also, the filter and water absorption structure does not directly contact the bottom of the planting trough, ensuring good air permeability and preventing root rot.
[0020] (III) Furthermore, the bonsai maintenance device also includes a funnel, which comprises a funnel body and a tube connected to the lower end of the funnel body. The funnel body is located outside the container, and the tube extends into the container through the tray. Adding water to the container via the funnel avoids the need to remove the planting trough and tray, making it more convenient to use. A rotatable lid is mounted on the upper end of the funnel body to prevent external dust, insects, etc., from entering the container, thus ensuring water quality. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The bonsai maintenance equipment includes a container 1, a tray 2, and a planting trough 3.
[0031] Container 1 is a hollow structure with an opening at the top.
[0032] The tray 2 is positioned on top of the container 1. The tray 2 includes a pipe 21 and a filtration and water absorption structure 22. The pipe 21 is positioned at the bottom of the tray 2 and has a through hole 32 extending vertically. The filtration and water absorption structure 22 is disposed inside the pipe 21.
[0033] Planting trough 3 is set on the upper end of tray 2. Planting soil 31 is placed in planting trough 3. Several through holes 32 are opened at the bottom of planting trough 3 corresponding to pipe 21. Water is added to container 1, and the upper end of the water body submerges the lower end of the filter and water absorption structure 22.
[0034] Furthermore, tray 2 is secured to the upper end of container 1. The filter-absorbing structure 22 is secured within or adhered to pipe 21. For example, a ring of extension is provided at the lower end of tray 2, which engages with the opening of container 1, improving the stability of tray 2. When the filter-absorbing structure 22 is secured within pipe 21, two rings of inner edge are spaced apart within pipe 21, with the filter-absorbing structure 22 engaged between these two rings, preventing it from detaching from pipe 21 and facilitating disassembly and recycling. Specifically, the filter-absorbing structure 22 is made of sponge or cotton cloth, possessing a certain degree of softness and the ability to filter and absorb water. Pipe 21 and tray 2 are integrally formed, enhancing the structural strength.
[0035] Furthermore, the bonsai maintenance device also includes a funnel 4, which includes a bucket 41 and a tube 42 connected to the lower end of the bucket 41. The bucket 41 is located outside the container 1, and the tube 42 extends into the container 1 through the tray 2. For example, a groove is provided on the side of the tray 2 for the tube 42 to pass through. Water is added to the container 1 through the funnel 4, avoiding the need to remove the planting trough 3 and the tray 2, making it more convenient to use.
[0036] Preferably, a cover 43 is rotatably provided on the upper end of the container 41 to prevent external dust, insects, etc. from entering the container 1 and to ensure water quality.
[0037] Furthermore, an outlet 11 is provided on the outside of container 1 to facilitate the drainage of water from container 1.
[0038] Furthermore, there is a gap between the upper end of the filter and water absorption structure 22 and the lower end of the planting trough 3 to prevent the filter and water absorption structure 22 from directly contacting the soil, ensuring good air permeability and preventing root rot.
[0039] In this embodiment, by placing the tray 2 on the container 1, the planting trough 3 containing planting soil 31 and plants is placed on the tray 2. Water is added to the container 1 to cover the lower end of the filter and water absorption structure 22. The filter and water absorption structure 22 absorbs water and filters impurities in the water. Water evaporation increases the soil moisture at the bottom of the planting trough 3. When there is enough water, it can continuously keep moist. The structure is simple and the maintenance requires low labor and economic costs.
