Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of modern agricultural facilities technology, and in particular to a rotatable vertical flower stand. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, the demand for beautifying indoor and outdoor environments is increasing, and flower cultivation has become a popular activity. Flower stands, as important containers for displaying flowers, are constantly being innovated in design. Most existing flower stands are horizontally tiered or fixedly tilted. However, horizontally tiered flower stands have significant drawbacks in space utilization, especially in limited spaces such as balconies and indoor corners, where vertical space is not fully utilized, leading to wasted space. Furthermore, multiple horizontal layers result in insufficient sunlight for the lower-level plants, affecting their growth. While fixedly tilted flower stands improve lighting to some extent, they offer only one angle of flower display, failing to meet people's needs for viewing flowers from different directions.

[0003] Furthermore, existing flower stands lack flexibility in flower arrangement. When it's necessary to adjust the flower positions to adapt to seasonal changes in light or to alter the interior decor, the fixed structure of existing flower stands makes operation extremely inconvenient. In terms of flower maintenance, the fixed structure of flower stands makes it difficult to inspect and care for the flowers on each tier, increasing the difficulty of maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a rotatable vertical flower stand that can make full use of vertical space for flower planting, improve the lighting problem when planting multiple layers, and allow for flower display from different angles.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a rotatable vertical flower stand, including a base and a connecting frame mounted on the base. The bottom of the connecting frame is provided with a connector threaded to the mounting seat. The flower stand also includes a watering component for watering from bottom to top, and multiple flower pots rotatably mounted on the connecting frame and arranged from top to bottom along the connecting frame. The base is a hollow structure with a water tank inside. The upper surface of the base is provided with a mounting seat for mounting the connecting frame and a first drain hole for draining water into the water tank. The watering component consists of a water pump arranged in the water tank, a water pipe arranged along the connecting frame, and a nozzle mounted on the upper end of the connecting frame. The outlet of the water pump is connected to the nozzle through the water pipe. The flower pots are provided with a second drain hole. The position of the drain hole can be arranged according to the actual situation, either on the side wall or the bottom of the flower pot. There are multiple drain holes, evenly distributed on the flower pots.

[0006] Preferably, the water tank is a pull-out type. The pull-out design facilitates convenient maintenance of the water tank and pump. It should be noted that the base is equipped with a pipe for adding water to the tank. This pipe is normally closed; water can be added via the pipe when needed. A sliding block with a groove is provided between the base and the water tank for pulling out. The specific design of the sliding block is sufficient to achieve the pull-out function and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0007] The upper surface of the base is a sloping surface that curves inward from all sides towards the center. The mounting base is installed in the center of the upper surface, and the first drainage hole is located at the lowest point of the upper surface. Commonly, the upper surface of the base is conical, such as a cone or a square cone. The base is mainly used to install the connecting frame and water pump. For ease of use, a counterweight can also be installed on the base to increase its weight and further enhance the stability of the flower stand.

[0008] The number of nozzles is multiple, and the nozzles are symmetrically arranged on the upper end of the connecting frame. It should be noted that connectors are installed on the upper end of the connecting frame to connect the water pipes and the nozzles. A three-way connector is used to connect two nozzles, and a five-way connector is used to connect four nozzles. Furthermore, it should be noted that since the flowerpot of this application can rotate, a single nozzle can also be used in this application.

[0009] The connecting frame is equipped with multiple bushings for mounting the flowerpots. Each flowerpot has a bearing rotatably mounted on one of the bushings, with an interference fit between the bearing and the bushing. The connecting frame has openings symmetrically arranged along its center. These openings are designed to allow for bushing replacement, modularizing the corresponding parts. For example, replacing flowerpots of different sizes requires matching bushings of different sizes (to ensure flowerpot stability). The sidewalls of the openings have limiting grooves, and the bushings have locking blocks that engage with these grooves. The purpose of the limiting grooves is to allow the locking blocks on the bushings to rotate to a certain angle, causing the bushing to engage. Therefore, bolts can be used to lock the bushing's rotational position (after rotation to the correct position, corresponding fixing holes are provided in the bushing and limiting groove), or an interference fit between the locking blocks and the limiting groove can be used to ensure connection stability. It should be noted that the limiting grooves are not through-holes; in actual use, the locking blocks are inserted into the limiting grooves until the edge of the groove is reached to achieve the limiting purpose. If you need to replace the bushing, knock the bushing out in the opposite direction so that the locking block on the bushing rotates to the opening, and then you can remove the bushing.

[0010] As a further improvement of this application, the connecting frame is provided with through holes for water pipes to pass through, allowing the water pipes to be arranged more neatly. It should be noted that, in this application, the water pipes can also be arranged along the connecting frame.

[0011] In practical use, because the flowerpot contains flowers and has a certain weight, it generally will not rotate further without external force after being rotated. As a further improvement of this application, in order to increase the stability of the flowerpot after rotation, a fixing rod for fixing the position of the flowerpot is provided on the flowerpot. The end of the fixing rod is provided with a fixing clamp. When the flowerpot is rotated to a specified angle, the flowerpot can be fixed. When fixing the flowerpot, the fixing clamp is engaged with the connecting frame and fixed by bolt assembly.

[0012] In addition, the flowerpots are usually circular. In this application, the flowerpots can be circular, square, triangular, or other irregularly shaped (preferably symmetrical about the center point) depending on the actual situation. Since the flowerpots rotate, it is best to choose regularly shaped flowerpots in actual use. For circular flowerpots, the diameter increases sequentially from top to bottom. To further improve lighting conditions, the projected areas of multiple flowerpots on the bottom surface are not completely overlapping; the projected area of ​​the lower layer of flowerpots on the bottom surface exceeds the projected area of ​​the flowerpots in the upper planting area. The "not completely overlapping" arrangement means that the projected areas of multiple flowerpots on the bottom surface do not overlap or only partially overlap.

[0013] As can be seen, in this application, different flowers can be planted in a multi-layered arrangement of flowerpots. During daily maintenance, the water pump is turned on, and water is poured from bottom to top (drip irrigation) through water pipes and nozzles. Since the diameter of the flowerpots increases sequentially, the nozzles cover all flowerpots (specifically, the nozzles spray directly onto the top layer of flowerpots and the areas overflowing from the bottom layer). The water from the top layer of flowerpots drips into the bottom layer through the second drainage hole. For the areas of the bottom layer flowerpots that are not overflowing, irrigation can be completed by using the second drainage hole and manual watering. The excess water from the bottom layer of flowerpots drains into the upper surface of the base through the second drainage hole and then into the water tank for recycling through the first drainage hole. As a further improvement of this application, a filter screen is provided on the first drainage hole to filter out impurities in the drainage from the flowerpots. As the flowers grow, there will be differences in light and noise conditions between the plants. Rotating the flowerpots can improve the light conditions in different layers of flowerpots and also allow for different angles of display. If different models of flowerpots need to be replaced, the bushings and flowerpots can be removed.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: (1) The flower pot can be rotatably installed on the connecting frame, realizing 360° rotation of the flower pot, which is convenient to manage and occupies little space. The diameter of the flower pot gradually increases from top to bottom, which solves the problem of insufficient light for the bottom layer of flowers when multiple layers are placed horizontally. It makes full use of vertical space for flower planting, improves the light problem when planting multiple layers, and realizes the display of flowers at different angles; (2) The bushing and flower pot are modularly set, and both the bushing and flower pot can be replaced. The structure is simple and detachable, which increases the practicality of the device; (3) It comes with a watering system and can recycle excess water, which improves irrigation efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1-5As shown, a rotatable vertical flower stand includes a base 1 and a connecting frame 2 mounted on the base 1. It also includes an irrigation component 3 for watering from bottom to top and four flower pots 4 (four-layer planting) rotatably mounted on the connecting frame 2 and arranged from top to bottom along the connecting frame 2. The base 1 has a hollow structure and a water tank 101 is provided in the base 1. The upper surface of the base 1 is provided with a mounting seat 102 for mounting the connecting frame 2 and a first drain hole 103 for draining water into the water tank 101. The irrigation component 3 consists of a water pump 301 arranged in the water tank 101, a water pipe 302 arranged along the connecting frame 2, and a nozzle 303 installed at the upper end of the connecting frame 2. The outlet of the water pump 301 is connected to the nozzle 303 through the water pipe 302. A second drain hole 401 is provided on the side wall of the flower pot 4 near the bottom.

[0025] like Figure 6 As shown, the upper surface of the base 1 is an inclined surface sloping from all sides towards the center. The mounting base 102 is installed in the center of the upper surface, and the first drain hole 103 is located at the lowest point of the upper surface. There are two nozzles 303, symmetrically arranged on the upper end of the connecting frame 2. The connecting frame 2 is provided with multiple bushings 201 for mounting the flowerpots 4, and each flowerpot 4 is provided with a bearing 402 rotatably mounted on the bushing 201. The diameter of the flowerpots 4 increases sequentially from top to bottom. The connecting frame 2 is provided with openings 203 symmetrically arranged along the center of the connecting frame 2. Limiting grooves 204 are provided on the side walls of the openings 203, and locking blocks 205 are provided on the bushings 201 to engage with the limiting grooves 204. The connecting frame 2 is provided with through holes 202 for the passage of water pipes 302. Figure 7 As shown, the flowerpot 4 is provided with a fixing rod 206 for fixing the position of the flowerpot 4. The end of the fixing rod 206 is provided with a fixing clamp 207. When fixing the flowerpot 4, the fixing clamp 207 is snapped onto the connecting frame 2 and fixed by bolt assembly. The bottom of the connecting frame 2 is provided with a connector 208 that is threadedly connected to the mounting base 102.

[0026] The flowerpots 4 are spaced 30-50cm apart, allowing for a planting height of over 2 meters with four layers. This is significantly different from existing horizontal or fixed tilted flower stands. The base 1 is equipped with a water tank 101 and a water pump 301, allowing watering from the top flowerpots 4 via nozzles 303. Each layer of flowerpots 4 has a second drainage hole 401, and the base 1 also has a first drainage hole 103 to collect excess water. The four-layer structure allows for planting different colored flowers to achieve the best visual effect. The top layer of flowerpots 4 has a diameter of 30-40cm, the bottom layer has a diameter of 120-150cm, and the diameters of the middle flowerpots 4 vary accordingly. As can be seen, in this application, the flowerpot 4 can be selected 360° to achieve different angles of light and display for different layers of flowerpot 4, making full use of vertical space for planting. At the same time, the bushing 201 can rotate at a small angle (70°). When the locking block 205 rotates to the opening 203, it can be removed from the connecting frame 2 to complete the replacement of the bushing 201 and the flowerpot 4, realizing modular processing of components and facilitating later maintenance.
