Description
A humidity-adjustable planting device Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of plant care, specifically relating to a humidity-adjustable planting device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the planting boxes used in plant cultivation are mainly of two types: traditional planting boxes and self-priming planting boxes.
[0003] Traditional planting boxes are containers for soil and plants, with drainage holes at the bottom. Watering and fertilization are done manually by the caretaker. This method requires experience and expertise in watering and fertilization; inexperienced caretakers are prone to imbalances in watering and fertilization, leading to abnormal plant growth or even death.
[0004] The common structure of self-priming planters is a two-part box with two sections arranged vertically. One section holds the plants and soil, while the other stores water or a fertilizer solution. The grower simply adds liquid to the storage section, and the soil absorbs the liquid through capillary action via absorbent materials. However, the liquid level in the storage section decreases with each replenishment. This is due to prolonged residence time of the liquid in the absorbent materials, aging, and compaction, which alters the soil's growing environment and makes it difficult to maintain a constant humidity level, negatively impacting plant growth. Because the structure of a self-priming planter is fixed, the liquid level in the storage section can only vary within a relatively large preset range. Without frequent maintenance, it cannot be kept within a small range. For example, some plants, like succulents, do not prefer high humidity and have low water requirements, while others require more water. Existing self-priming planters struggle to meet the diverse needs of plant cultivation. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a humidity-adjustable planting device to solve the problem of imbalanced water and fertilizer supply when using traditional planting boxes by inexperienced and unprofessional growers; and the problem that soil moisture cannot be maintained within a constant range when using self-priming planting boxes, making it difficult to meet people's diverse plant planting needs.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a humidity-adjustable planting device, including a planting box body, which is a shell structure. The planting box body includes a planting box side wall and a planting box bottom. A mixing chamber isolation wall is fixedly provided at the bottom of the planting box, and the height of the mixing chamber isolation wall is lower than the height of the planting box side wall.
[0007] The inner side of the planting box sidewall, the bottom of the planting box, and the outer side of the mixing chamber isolation wall together form the soil-liquid mixing chamber;
[0008] A liquid storage device is installed on the outer side of the side wall of the planting box. The liquid storage device is connected to the side wall of the planting box through a height adjustment device, which is used to adjust the height of the liquid storage device relative to the bottom of the planting box.
[0009] The bottom of the liquid storage device is connected to a first liquid delivery pipe, which is used to connect the interior of the liquid storage device with the soil-liquid mixing chamber. The liquid storage device forms a connected container with the soil-liquid mixing chamber through the first liquid delivery pipe.
[0010] Furthermore, the height adjustment device includes a liquid storage tank section and a planting box section; the liquid storage tank section is connected to the liquid storage device, and the planting box section is connected to the side wall of the planting box.
[0011] Furthermore, a liquid storage tank is fixedly installed on the side wall of the liquid storage tank, and several planting boxes are fixedly installed in the vertical direction of the side wall of the planting box. The liquid storage tank and the planting box are detachably connected.
[0012] Furthermore, the liquid storage tank and the planting box are hook-type components, and the liquid storage tank and the planting box are suspended and connected.
[0013] Furthermore, the liquid storage tank is a flexible strip structure, and the planting box includes a rotating motor; one end of the liquid storage tank is fixedly connected to the liquid storage device, and the other end of the liquid storage tank is fixedly connected to the motor shaft of the rotating motor.
[0014] Furthermore, the liquid storage device is provided with several sliding wheels on one side of the liquid storage tank, and a sliding track is provided on the side wall of the planting box near the liquid storage device, with the sliding wheels slidably connected to the sliding track.
[0015] Furthermore, the liquid storage device is equipped with a liquid source input pipe, and the liquid storage device is equipped with a liquid level valve for the liquid storage tank, which is connected to the liquid source input pipe; the liquid source input pipe is used to input external liquid into the liquid storage device.
[0016] Furthermore, a first drainage hole is provided at the bottom of the planting box, which is located on the bottom of the planting box outside the soil-liquid mixing chamber.
[0017] Furthermore, a second drain hole is provided on the side wall of the liquid storage device.
[0018] The beneficial effects of the humidity-adjustable planting device provided by this utility model are as follows:
[0019] 1. A humidity-adjustable planting device, comprising a planting box body with a mixing chamber isolation wall fixedly installed at the bottom of the planting box. A liquid storage device is installed on the outer side of the planting box side wall, and the liquid storage device is connected to the planting box side wall via a height adjustment device; a first liquid delivery pipe is connected to the bottom of the liquid storage device, which connects the interior of the liquid storage device with the soil-liquid mixing chamber, forming a connected container. Based on the capillary action and matrix potential gradient driving principle, water and nutrients can be transported to the soil around the plant roots. The liquid volume in the soil-liquid mixing chamber is kept constant by controlling the installation height of the liquid storage device, forming a constant liquid source inside the planting box. Even if the caregiver is inexperienced or lacks professional skills, there will be no imbalance in the liquid supply. Moreover, it avoids the problems of self-absorbing materials and liquid level issues found in self-priming planting boxes, thus maintaining a constant humidity range for the soil inside the planting box. Because the height of the liquid storage device relative to the bottom of the planting box is adjustable, different heights of the liquid storage device relative to the bottom of the planting box can be set for different plants, so that the liquid level in the soil-liquid mixing chamber can be adjusted and stabilized within a suitable range, thereby meeting people's needs for diverse plant cultivation.
[0020] 2. Adjustable Humidity Planting Device Liquid Supply Method: Combining the aforementioned adjustable humidity planting device simplifies the maintenance process, reduces the demands on the caregiver, and lessens the difficulty of plant care. It also maintains the soil environment around the plant roots within a fixed humidity range, while ensuring timely nutrient supply to the roots. This reduces the risk of excessive or insufficient liquid supply, effectively improving water and nutrient utilization efficiency and promoting plant growth. Attached Figure Description
[0021] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the planting device with adjustable humidity being filled with soil and used to plant plants.
[0022] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the unused humidity-adjustable planting device. Detailed Implementation
[0023] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following detailed description of a humidity-adjustable planting device is provided in conjunction with Figures 1 and 2.
[0024] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a humidity-adjustable planting device, including a planting box body 100. The planting box body 100 is a shell structure, and includes a planting box side wall 110 and a planting box bottom 120. A mixing chamber isolation wall 130 is fixedly installed on the planting box bottom 120, and the height of the mixing chamber isolation wall 130 is lower than the height of the planting box side wall 110. The inner side of the planting box side wall 110, the planting box bottom 120, and the outer side of the mixing chamber isolation wall 130 together form a soil-liquid mixing chamber 140.
[0025] In this utility model, a liquid storage device 200 is provided on the outer side of the side wall 110 of the planting box. The liquid storage device 200 is connected to the side wall 110 of the planting box through a height adjustment device. The height adjustment device is used to adjust the height of the liquid storage device 200 relative to the bottom 120 of the planting box.
[0026] The bottom of the liquid storage device 200 is connected to a first liquid delivery pipe 300, which connects the interior of the liquid storage device 200 to the soil-liquid mixing chamber 140. The liquid storage device 200 and the soil-liquid mixing chamber 140 form a connected container through the first liquid delivery pipe 300. The liquid storage device 200 is equipped with a liquid source input pipe 400, and an internal liquid storage tank level valve 210 is connected to the liquid source input pipe 400. The liquid source input pipe 400 is used to input external liquid into the liquid storage device 200.
[0027] This invention simulates the natural flow of water and / or nutrients in soil through capillary action and matrix potential gradient. After soil is filled into the soil-liquid mixing chamber 140 of the planting box body 100, the soil in the mixing chamber 140 and the soil outside the mixing chamber 140 within the planting box body 100 form a unified whole. This soil transports water and / or nutrients to the soil surrounding the plant roots through capillary action and matrix potential gradient. The liquid volume within the soil-liquid mixing chamber 140 is maintained constant within a certain range by the installation height of the liquid storage device 200, thus providing a constant liquid source for the planting box body 100 and maintaining a constant humidity range for the soil within the planting box body 100.
[0028] When plants absorb water, transpire, or evaporate water from the soil surface, the moisture around the plant roots decreases, humidity drops, and the matrix potential also decreases. This creates a matrix potential gradient. According to the principle of matrix potential gradient, water in soil with high matrix potential will diffuse to soil with low matrix potential. This drives the transport of water from the soil around the roots to the roots. This water is continuously supplied by the liquid in the soil-liquid mixing chamber 140 through capillary action. This keeps the soil environment around the plant roots within a fixed humidity range, while also supplying nutrients to the plant roots. This reduces the problem of excessive or insufficient liquid supply, effectively improves the efficiency of water and nutrient utilization, achieves planting that simulates a natural growth environment, and reduces the difficulty of plant maintenance.
[0029] The planting box body 100 is a container for holding planting soil and can be designed in various shapes. Inside the planting box body 100, a soil-liquid mixing chamber 140 is separated by a mixing chamber isolation wall 130. After the planting soil is filled in, the soil inside the planting box is connected into a whole.
[0030] Understandably, the soil-liquid mixing chamber 140 is connected to the liquid storage device 200 via the first liquid delivery pipe 300. The liquid level valve 210 of the liquid storage tank is installed inside the liquid storage device 200.
[0031] In use, the liquid storage device 200 is connected to tap water or other constant liquid source through the liquid source inlet pipe 400, ensuring that the liquid storage device 200 and the soil-liquid mixing chamber 140 can receive a continuous and sufficient supply of liquid at any time. The liquid level valve 210 of the liquid storage tank opens when the liquid level in the liquid storage device 200 drops to a preset value, allowing the liquid source inlet pipe 400 to input liquid into the liquid storage device 200. When the liquid level rises to a preset height, the liquid level valve 210 closes, stopping the liquid source inlet pipe 400 from inputting liquid into the liquid storage device 200, thereby keeping the liquid volume in the liquid storage device 200 and the soil-liquid mixing chamber 140 constant, providing a constant liquid source for the plants in the planting box body 100.
[0032] In this invention, the height adjustment device includes a liquid storage tank and a planting box; the liquid storage tank is connected to the liquid storage device 200, and the planting box is connected to the planting box side wall 110.
[0033] In some embodiments, the height of the liquid storage device 200 can be manually adjusted. A liquid storage tank is fixedly installed on the side wall of the liquid storage tank section, and several planting box sections are fixedly installed vertically on the side wall 110 of the planting box. The liquid storage tank section and the planting box sections are detachably connected. The liquid storage tank section and the planting box sections are hook-type components, and are suspended from each other.
[0034] In other embodiments, the height of the liquid storage device 200 can be adjusted electrically or automatically. The liquid storage tank section is a flexible strip structure, and the planting box section includes a rotating motor; one end of the liquid storage tank section is fixedly connected to the liquid storage device 200, and the other end of the liquid storage tank section is fixedly connected to the motor shaft of the rotating motor.
[0035] To make the lifting and lowering process smoother, the liquid storage device 200 is provided with several sliding wheels on one side of the liquid storage tank, and the side wall 110 of the planting box is provided with a sliding rail on the side near the liquid storage device 200, with the sliding wheels slidably connected to the sliding rail.
[0036] According to the principle of communicating vessels, varying the height of the liquid storage device 200 can cause changes in the liquid level in the soil-liquid mixing chamber 140. This design allows for adjustment of the height of the liquid storage device 200 to suit different plant characteristics, thereby providing the most suitable humidity environment for different plants.
[0037] Understandably, a first drain hole 121 is provided at the bottom 120 of the planting box, and the first drain hole (121) is located on the bottom 120 of the planting box outside the soil-liquid mixing chamber (140) mentioned above. A second drain hole 220 is provided on the side wall of the liquid storage device 200. The design of the first drain hole 121 and the second drain hole 220 is to allow excess liquid in the soil-liquid mixing chamber 140 or the liquid storage device 200 to be discharged outward through the first drain hole 121 and the second drain hole 220 in the event of rain or failure of the liquid level valve 210 of the liquid storage tank. This ensures that the liquid in the soil-liquid mixing chamber 140 in the planting box body 100 remains constant within a certain range and that the soil in the planting box body 100 does not accumulate liquid; thus reducing the impact of liquid accumulation on the plants.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
