Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of landscaping and greening, and in particular relates to a soil water retention device for landscaping and greening. Background Technology

[0002] A garden is a beautiful natural environment and recreational space created within a specific area using engineering techniques and artistic methods. This involves modifying the terrain, planting trees and flowers, constructing buildings, and arranging pathways. With the development of landscape architecture as a discipline, it has also expanded to include forest parks, scenic spots, nature reserves, and national park areas. Naturally, landscaping requires the support of landscaping seedlings. In landscaping, seedlings are one of the first materials to be prepared, as they are involved in project cost estimation and design.

[0003] Currently, the commonly used landscaping water conservation projects use manual sprinkling or mixed burial of water-retaining agents to achieve the effect of water retention in landscaping soil. However, this method requires a lot of manpower, and it can only cover the soil surface, unable to irrigate the soil inside, and the water retention effect is relatively low.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to provide a soil water retention device for landscaping. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a soil water retention device for landscaping, addressing the shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the garden greening soil water retention device of this utility model, the top four corners of the frame are provided with threaded holes with internal threads, and the top of the frame is fixedly connected with an anti-evaporation cover. The anti-evaporation cover is fixedly connected to the frame by screws that are screwed into the threaded holes. The center of the anti-evaporation cover is provided with a pipe hole, and the bottom of the water pipe extends through the pipe hole into the frame and is located above the water storage component.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the soil water retention device for landscaping described in this utility model, the surface of the anti-evaporation cover is provided with a number of air vents with a diameter of 0.1 to 0.5 mm.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the landscaping soil water retention device of this utility model, a support frame is fixedly installed on the outside of the frame, and a humidity sensor is fixed inside the support frame, the probe of which can extend into the soil.

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of this utility model, and not the only embodiments.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the landscaping soil water retention device includes a frame 1. The four bottom corners of the frame 1 are provided with inserts 2 that can extend into the soil. In actual use, the inserts 2 are inserted into the soil to fix the frame 1 to the soil. The frame 1 can intercept impurities around the soil, preventing impurities from polluting the water inside the frame 1 and affecting soil quality. A water storage component for transporting water to the soil at the bottom of the frame 1 is installed inside the frame 1. A filter screen 6 with several filter holes 7 is installed at the bottom of the frame 1. The filter screen 6 is located at the bottom of the water storage component and is adjacent to the water storage component. With proper fit, the filter screen 6 can filter the water in the water storage component before it flows into the soil. Therefore, the diameter of the water storage hole 4 should be larger than the diameter of the filter hole 7 to reduce the unavoidable impurities entering the soil through the filter hole 7. A water pipe 8 is provided above the water storage component to inject water into it. Specifically, the bottom of the water pipe 8 is located above the water storage component to ensure that the water in the water pipe 8 can fully enter the water storage component. The water pipe 8 is connected to the water pump 9, and an interface for connecting to an external water source is provided on one side of the water pump 9. The water pump 9 is electrically connected to an external power source.

[0027] Specifically, the water storage component includes a water storage base 3 that matches the internal shape of the frame 1. Several water storage holes 4 are arrayed on the water storage base 3, and the several water storage holes 4 form a honeycomb structure. The water storage base 3 is made of biodegradable materials, such as polylactic acid or starch-based materials. Furthermore, the honeycomb structure can enhance the load-bearing capacity of the water storage base 3, giving it sufficient strength.

[0028] To enhance the water absorption and storage capacity of the water storage seat 3, water-retaining gel 5 is filled into the water storage hole 4. The water-retaining gel 5 can fully absorb the water from the water pipe 8 and slowly release the water into the soil, thus improving the water retention capacity and effect of the soil.

[0029] Furthermore, the top four corners of the frame 1 are provided with threaded holes 10 with internal threads. An anti-evaporation cover 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1. The anti-evaporation cover 11 is fixedly connected to the frame 1 by screws 12 that are screwed into the threaded holes 10. The connection and separation of the anti-evaporation cover 11 and the frame 1 can be completed by adjusting the screws 12. In this way, the anti-evaporation cover 11 completely covers the frame 1, that is, completely covers the water storage component, ensuring that the water in the water storage base 3 will not be evaporated, which is beneficial to the continuous preservation of the soil. A pipe hole 13 is provided in the center of the anti-evaporation cover 11. The diameter of the pipe hole 13 matches the outer diameter of the water pipe 8. The bottom of the water pipe 8 extends into the frame 1 through the pipe hole 13 and is located above the water storage component. This ensures that water continues to enter the water storage component through the water pipe 8.

[0030] Since the anti-evaporation cover 11 completely covers the frame 1 and the water storage component, the soil at the bottom of the water storage component cannot absorb external air. Therefore, several vent holes 14 are provided on the surface of the anti-evaporation cover 11 to supply air to the soil. To prevent the water in the water storage seat 3 from evaporating, the diameter of the vent holes 14 is set to allow the soil to absorb external air. Through practical demonstration, the effect is best when the diameter of the vent holes 14 is in the range of 0.1 to 0.5 mm.

[0031] To further monitor soil moisture, a support frame 15 is fixedly installed on the outside of the enclosure 1. The support frame 15 is fixedly connected to the outside of the enclosure 1 via an L-shaped buckle. A humidity sensor 16 is fixed inside the support frame 15. A probe 17 located at the bottom of the humidity sensor 16 can extend into the soil. The probe 17 can feed back the humidity information in the soil to the humidity sensor 16, thus enabling the monitoring of soil moisture.

[0032] The water pump 9 is equipped with a water flow control valve 18. When abnormal soil moisture is detected, the water flow into the water storage seat 3 can be adjusted by adjusting the control valve 18 to control the water flow and ensure that the water absorbed by the soil meets the growth requirements of the plants.

[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
