Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic flower pot technology, specifically to a modular ceramic flower pot. Background Technology
[0002] Flower pots are basin-shaped containers used in private gardens and villas, and are widely used in landscaping and greening projects. Among them, terracotta flower pots have the most artistic effect. Currently, most flower pots on the market are only used for holding bonsai. Indoor plant cultivation is becoming increasingly popular due to its advantages such as beautifying the environment and bringing joy to the mind and body. A search revealed existing technology (publication number: CN212487476U), which describes "a modular ceramic flowerpot for zoned planting, comprising a base, flowerpots set on the base, the flowerpots being composed of several individual flowerpots, each planted with different plants, a water inlet pipe in the middle of the base, one end of the water inlet pipe being a water inlet, and the other end of the water inlet pipe being connected to a water distribution pipe extending to each individual flowerpot, the water distribution pipe having a spray nozzle. The flowerpot of this utility model is composed of several individual flowerpots, each planted with different plants, appearing as if one flowerpot is planted with different flowers. When not needed to be combined, they can be placed separately. The water inlet pipe in the middle of the base is connected to a water distribution pipe extending to each individual flowerpot, the water distribution pipe having a spray nozzle, thus allowing simultaneous watering of plants planted in multiple individual flowerpots. It has a simple structure, low cost, and is easy to use."
[0003] Although the modular ceramic flowerpots mentioned in the aforementioned patent documents achieve the functions of zoned planting and convenient watering, the water distribution pipes are placed directly above the flowerpots, which affects the growth of green plants or flowers. Secondly, the leaves of green plants in the flowerpots are easily covered with dust, which affects the respiration and photosynthesis of the leaf stomata and usually requires manual cleaning, which is quite troublesome. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, a modular ceramic flowerpot is provided to solve the problems mentioned in the background.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a modular ceramic flowerpot is provided, comprising: a base and a pot body. The base has a water storage chamber inside, and a water pump is installed in the water storage chamber. A motor, a controller, and a time relay are installed on the lower side of the water storage chamber. A rotating tube is connected to the upper end of the motor, and the rotating tube passes through the water storage chamber and is connected to a spray pipe at its upper end. A spray head is installed on the lower side of the spray pipe. A water injection ring is rotatably connected to the outer side of the rotating tube, and the water injection ring communicates with the inside of the rotating tube. The outer side of the water injection ring is connected to the outlet end of the water pump through a water injection pipe. A guide post is connected to the lower end of the pot body, and the guide post is inserted into a guide hole opened at the upper end of the base.
[0006] Furthermore, the outer wall of the base is provided with a power socket, which is a USB connection port.
[0007] Furthermore, the upper side of the motor is provided with a sealing plate and a sealing ring, and the rotating tube rotates through the sealing ring and the sealing plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the water storage cavity is provided with an absorbent cotton swab, and the upper end of the absorbent cotton swab is inserted into the inside of the basin.
[0009] Furthermore, a second through hole is provided on one side of the water injection ring, and a water injection pipe is connected to the outside of the second through hole. A stabilizing frame is connected to the other side of the water injection ring.
[0010] Furthermore, the outer wall of the rotating tube is provided with a first through hole, and the first through hole is located inside the water injection ring.
[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the basin is provided with a drainage hole, and the upper end of the base is provided with a filter screen hole, which is located below the drainage hole.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. When in use, the guide column and guide hole make it easy to position and assemble the pot on the base. Then, insert the absorbent cotton swab into the pot, add soil, plant the green plants inside, and then water the pot. Excess water enters the water storage chamber in the base through the seepage hole and filter screen. During the subsequent growth of the green plants, water can be absorbed from the water storage chamber through the absorbent cotton swab and enter the soil in the pot to achieve continuous water supply.
[0014] 2. By using a controller and time relay, the start interval of the motor and water pump can be preset, thus enabling timed motor start-up. When the motor is driven, it rotates the rotating tube, which in turn rotates the spray pipe. At the same time, water can be injected into the rotating tube using the water pump and water injection ring. The water is then sprayed downwards through the spray pipe and spray head. Combined with the rotation of the spray pipe, this achieves a rotating spray on the green plants, making it easier to clean the dust on the leaves and allowing the plants to better perform photosynthesis, eliminating the hassle of regular manual cleaning.

[0020] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a combined ceramic flower pot, including: a base 1 and a pot body 2. The base 1 has a water storage chamber 11 inside, and a water pump 18 is provided in the water storage chamber 11. A motor 15, a controller 16 and a time relay 17 are provided on the lower side of the water storage chamber 11. The upper end of the motor 15 is connected to a rotating tube 3, and the rotating tube 3 passes through the water storage chamber 11 and is connected to a spray pipe 31 at its upper end. At the same time, a spray head 32 is provided on the lower side of the spray pipe 31. A water injection ring 4 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the rotating tube 3, and the water injection ring 4 communicates with the inside of the rotating tube 3. The outer side of the water injection ring 4 is connected to the water outlet of the water pump 18 through the water injection pipe 42. A guide post 22 is connected to the lower end of the pot body 2, and the guide post 22 is correspondingly inserted into the guide hole 111 opened at the upper end of the base 1. A seepage hole 21 is opened at the bottom of the pot body 2, and a filter screen hole 110 is opened at the upper end of the base 1, and the filter screen hole 110 is located below the seepage hole 21.
[0021] In this embodiment, the base 1 and the pot 2 constitute the main structure of the combined ceramic flowerpot involved in this application.
[0022] The basin 2 can be set in multiple groups according to the size of the base 1, so as to realize the planting of a variety of different green plants.
[0023] Specifically, the base 1 has an installation cavity, and the outside of the installation cavity has an inspection port and a heat dissipation hole. The motor 15, the controller 16 and the time relay 17 are all placed in the installation cavity. At the same time, the time relay 17 is electrically connected to the motor 15 and the water pump 18 through the controller 16. The water pump 18 is designed as a small submersible pump.
[0024] Specifically, the rotating pipe 3 and the spray pipe 31 are connected, and one end of the rotating pipe 3 itself is connected by a telescopic pipe, which allows the height of the spray pipe 31 to be adjusted, thus facilitating adjustment according to the height of the green plants or flowers.
[0025] As a preferred implementation, the drainage holes 21 can prevent the roots of the plants from being soaked due to excessive watering, and the filter screen holes 110 can filter the water entering the water storage chamber 11 to prevent it from affecting the water pump 18.
[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the middle, the outer wall of the base 1 is provided with a power plug 19, and the power plug 19 is a USB connection port. The upper side of the motor 15 is provided with a sealing plate 14 and a sealing ring 13, and the rotating tube 3 rotates through the sealing ring 13 and the sealing plate 14. The bottom of the water storage cavity 11 is provided with a water-absorbing cotton swab 12, and the upper end of the water-absorbing cotton swab 12 is inserted into the inside of the basin 2. A second through hole 41 is opened on one side of the water injection ring 4, and the water injection pipe 42 is connected to the outside of the second through hole 41. A stabilizing frame 43 is connected to the other side of the water injection ring 4. A first through hole 33 is opened on the outer wall of the rotating tube 3, and the first through hole 33 is located inside the water injection ring 4.
[0027] Specifically, the absorbent swab 12 includes an inner ceramic rod and a sponge rod sleeved on the outside of the ceramic rod, so that the absorbent swab 12 can maintain stability when connected to the insertion hole opened at the bottom of the basin 2.
[0028] As a preferred embodiment, by setting the sealing ring 13 and the sealing plate 14, water can be prevented from seeping downwards from the connection between the rotating pipe 3 and the water storage chamber 11 into the mounting cavity of the motor 15, thus protecting the electrical equipment.
[0029] Specifically, the water injection ring 4 has an internal cavity, and both the upper and lower ring openings of the water injection ring 4 are equipped with seals to ensure sealing during water injection. At the same time, when the rotating tube 3 rotates, the water injection ring 4 is kept stationary by the stabilizer 43.
[0030] It should be noted that the rotating pipe 3 and the spray pipe 31 can be preset to their initial rotation position by the controller 16 and the rotation start time can be set by the time relay 17, so that the spray pipe 31 returns to its initial position after rotation, that is, it is located in the gap between the pots 2, so as not to affect the normal growth of the green plants.
[0031] In use, the guide pillars and guide holes facilitate the positioning and assembly of the pot onto the base. A water-absorbing cotton swab is then inserted into the pot, followed by soil addition and planting of the plant. Water is then poured into the pot, and excess water flows through the seepage holes and filter mesh into the water storage chamber within the base. During subsequent plant growth, the water-absorbing cotton swab draws water from the storage chamber into the soil, ensuring a continuous water supply. The controller and time relay allow for preset start intervals for the motor and water pump, enabling timed motor startup. When the motor is driven, it rotates the rotating tube, which in turn rotates the spray pipe. Simultaneously, the water pump and water inlet ring inject water into the rotating tube, which is then sprayed downwards through the spray pipe and nozzles. The rotation of the spray pipe, combined with the rotation of the spray pipe, creates a rotating spray effect on the plant, effectively cleaning dust from the leaves and promoting better photosynthesis, eliminating the need for regular manual cleaning.
[0032] This utility model of a modular ceramic flowerpot effectively solves the problems mentioned in the background technology. Based on the existing modular ceramic flowerpot technology, it is easy to assemble and install, does not affect the normal growth of green plants, and can automatically clean the dust on the leaves of green plants at regular intervals, thus promoting the healthy growth of green plants.
