[0029] Example:

[0030] This embodiment discloses a bonsai maintenance device.

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, the bonsai maintenance device includes a container 1, a pot body 2, a capillary assembly 5, and a rainwater pipe 6.

[0032] Container 1 is a hollow structure with an opening at the top.

[0033] The basin 2 is a hollow structure with an open top, and is fitted onto the container 1. The basin 2 includes a partition 21, a filter and energy dissipation assembly 4, planting soil 3, and a first perforated plate 24. The partition 21 is vertically arranged inside the basin 2, dividing the basin 2 into a first inner cavity and a second inner cavity. A portion of the lower end of the partition 21 has a through hole 241 connecting the first and second inner cavities. Figures 1-3 As shown, exemplarily, the basin 2 includes a first cylindrical body 22 and a second cylindrical body 23. The first cylindrical body 22 is disposed on the upper end of the first perforated plate 24, and its outer diameter is the same as the inner diameter of the opening of the container 1. The second cylindrical body 23 is connected to the upper end of the first cylindrical body 22, and its lower outer diameter is smaller than its upper outer diameter, so that the first cylindrical body 22 is inserted into the container 1, while the second cylindrical body 23 is located above the container 1, which facilitates the positioning, placement, and removal of the basin 2.

[0034] A filter and energy dissipation component 4 is installed in the first inner cavity, receiving rainwater and performing energy dissipation filtration. Planting soil 3 is installed in the second inner cavity. A first perforated plate 24 is installed at the bottom of the basin 2, with through holes 241 on the first perforated plate 24. Rainwater that has undergone energy dissipation filtration and is not absorbed by the soil flows through the through holes 241 into the container 1 for recycling. Figures 1-3 As shown, exemplarily, the filter energy dissipation component 4 includes a pebble layer 41, a second perforated plate 42, and a gravel layer 43 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The gravel layer 43 is positioned corresponding to the first cylinder 22, the second perforated plate 42 is positioned corresponding to the connection between the first cylinder 22 and the second cylinder 23, and the pebble layer 41 is positioned corresponding to the second cylinder 23. Through holes 241 are formed on the second perforated plate 42. Specifically, the pebbles and gravel have high mechanical strength and can withstand the impact and pressure of water flow. The smooth surface of the pebbles and gravel has a certain degree of adsorption, which can effectively block larger particles in the water flow and adsorb impurities and pollutants in the water, thus purifying the water quality. The through holes 241 have a diameter of 3-5 mm, allowing rainwater to pass through while preventing impurities from falling into the container 1. The height of the through holes 241 corresponds to the height range of the first cylinder 22, preventing unfiltered rainwater from prematurely entering the soil and container 1.

[0035] like Figure 4As shown, the bonsai maintenance device also includes a capillary assembly 5, which includes a capillary structure 52 fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the second inner cavity. For example, the capillary structure 52 is a material with capillary action, such as cotton rope or fiber cloth. The capillary assembly 5 includes a pressure plate 51 connected to the inner wall of the second inner cavity by bolts 53. The pressure plate 51 presses the capillary structure 52, facilitating its installation and removal. Alternatively, the capillary structure 52 can be adhered to the inner wall of the second inner cavity. Specifically, the pressure plate 51 can be a straight iron sheet with a certain degree of deformability, allowing it to be tightened onto the inner wall by screws 53 while simultaneously pressing and clamping the capillary structure 52. Figure 5 As shown, the pressure plate 51 may also include an arc-shaped piece and straight pieces connected to both ends of the arc-shaped piece. The arc-shaped piece allows the capillary structure 52 to pass through, thus preventing excessive deformation when the arc-shaped piece presses down on the capillary structure and affecting the service life of the pressure plate 51.

[0036] The rainwater pipe 6 is installed on the wall, with its lower end positioned above the filter and energy dissipation component 4. Specifically, the rainwater pipe is a pipe extending from the rainwater downpipe, guiding rainwater to the bonsai maintenance device.

[0037] like Figures 1-3 As shown, an overflow port 11 is further provided on the side of the container 1. The overflow port 11 is lower than the bottom of the basin 2 to prevent the rainwater collected in the container 1 from submerging the soil, which would lead to oxygen deficiency in the soil, bacterial growth, and root rot.

[0038] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a drain port 12 is further provided on the side of container 1 to facilitate the drainage of water accumulated in container 1.

[0039] like Figures 1-3 As shown, preferably, the lower end of the capillary structure 52 passes through the first perforated plate 24 and extends into the container 1. When it is not raining, the capillary structure 52 can absorb rainwater collected in the container 1 into the soil, further improving rainwater utilization and making maintenance more convenient. The upper end of the capillary structure 52 extends out of the planting soil to prevent water accumulation and root rot.

[0040] In this embodiment, rainwater falls through the rainwater pipe 6 into the energy-dissipating filter component 4 in the first inner cavity of the basin 2 for energy dissipation and filtration. A portion of the rainwater passes through the through hole 241 at the lower end of the partition 21 and is absorbed by the planting soil 3 in the second inner cavity of the basin 2. By fixing the capillary component 5 to the inner wall of the second inner cavity, the capillary structure 52 in the capillary component 5 draws water located in the lower part of the soil to the upper part, achieving uniform water distribution, avoiding root rot, ensuring air circulation, improving the utilization rate of rainwater and the survival rate of plants, and realizing maintenance-free and low-cost maintenance for small infiltration scenarios such as indoor and outdoor bonsai. Another portion of the rainwater falls through the through hole 241 of the first perforated plate 24 into the container 1 and is collected, thus realizing the collection and storage of rainwater.

[0041] Meanwhile, since the capillary component 5 is fixed to the inner wall of the second inner cavity, it can guide the plant roots to grow in all directions, thereby improving the absorption efficiency of rainwater by the plant roots.

[0042] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0043] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
