Abstract
Description
A substrate flower pot for home gardening Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flower pots, specifically to a substrate flower pot for home gardening. Background Technology
[0002] In home gardening, substrate flower pots are the core carrier for plant growth, and their structural design directly affects the substrate condition and plant health. Existing substrate flower pots for home gardening have the following significant defects:
[0003] 1. Traditionally, watering flower pots is done by pouring the water directly. The water flow impacts the substrate surface and easily damages the original pore structure, causing the particles to accumulate tightly. According to actual measurements, a single direct watering can increase the thickness of the substrate surface crust by 1-2 mm and reduce the air permeability porosity by 10%-15%. After long-term use, the substrate's aeration continues to deteriorate, and root hypoxia can easily lead to root rot, growth stagnation, and other problems.
[0004] 2. To prevent soil compaction, the substrate needs to be loosened regularly. However, existing flower pots lack an automatic loosening mechanism and rely on manual operation using tools such as toothpicks and small rakes. Manual loosening is inefficient and cumbersome.
[0005] Therefore, a substrate flowerpot for home gardening is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned substrate flower pots, this utility model is proposed.
[0007] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a substrate flowerpot for home gardening, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0009] A substrate flowerpot for home gardening includes a pot body, an annular water cavity is provided inside the side wall of the pot body and the annular water cavity is located at the top of the pot body, a plurality of evenly distributed water outlet holes are provided on the inner side wall of the pot body corresponding to the position of the annular water cavity, and L-shaped water inlet pipes are fixedly provided on both sides of the pot body corresponding to the position of the annular water cavity.
[0010] The bottom of the basin is provided with a base, and multiple evenly distributed columns are fixed between the base and the bottom of the basin. An electric push rod is fixed to the top of the base, and a fixed plate is fixed to the moving end of the electric push rod. Multiple loosening rods are fixed to the upper surface of the fixed plate, and the upper ends of the multiple loosening rods extend into the interior of the basin.
[0011] Preferably, the upper ends of the two L-shaped water inlet pipes are fixedly provided with water receiving hoppers, and the top openings of the two water receiving hoppers are hinged with hopper covers.
[0012] Preferably, an anti-clogging mesh is fixedly installed inside the water outlet, and the anti-clogging mesh is flush with the inner wall of the basin.
[0013] Preferably, the bottom of the basin is fixedly embedded with multiple sealing sleeves, and the multiple loosening rods slide through the interior of the multiple sealing sleeves respectively.
[0014] Furthermore, an annular protective plate is fixedly provided at the top edge of the base, and the top of the annular protective plate extends to the bottom periphery of the basin.
[0015] Preferably, the loosening rod is a solid stainless steel rod with a diameter of 12mm.
[0016] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:
[0017] 1. Spiral slow-flow watering reduces surface impact. Water flows through an annular water cavity inside the side wall of the pot and evenly distributed water outlets. After entering the annular water cavity through the L-shaped water inlet pipe, the water flows slowly through the water outlets into the substrate in an annular pattern. This avoids the water impact caused by traditional direct pouring. Actual tests show that it can reduce the thickness of the substrate surface crust, increase the air permeability and porosity, and effectively alleviate root hypoxia.
[0018] 2. Automatic lifting and loosening of soil replaces manual operation. The electric push rod on the base drives the fixed plate and loosening rod to move up and down. When the loosening rod moves inside the pot, it can automatically loosen the deep layer of the substrate. Compared with manual loosening, this mechanism can reduce the average annual time spent on loosening soil, and the loosening depth can be precisely controlled. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] This utility model provides a substrate flowerpot for home gardening, as shown in Figures 1-2. It includes a pot body 1, with an annular water cavity 2 located inside the side wall of the pot body 1 at the top. Multiple evenly distributed water outlet holes 3 are provided on the inner side wall of the pot body 1, corresponding to the position of the annular water cavity 2. An anti-clogging mesh 12 is fixed inside the water outlet holes 3, flush with the inner wall of the pot body 1, to prevent the substrate from clogging the water outlet holes 3 and improve watering efficiency. L-shaped water inlet pipes 4 are fixed on both sides of the pot body 1, corresponding to the position of the annular water cavity 2. Water receiving hoppers 10 are fixed at the upper ends of both L-shaped water inlet pipes 4. Hinged caps 11 are hinged to the top openings of the two water receiving hoppers 10, facilitating water pouring and preventing spillage. When not in use, the caps 11 can cover the water receiving hoppers 10 for protection.
[0027] As shown in Figures 1-3, a base 5 is provided at the bottom of the basin 1. Multiple evenly distributed columns 6 are fixed between the base 5 and the bottom of the basin 1. An electric push rod 7 is fixed at the top of the base 5. The electric push rod 7 is connected to an external power source via wires and can be periodically activated by connecting to a timer. A fixed plate 8 is fixed at the moving end of the electric push rod 7. Multiple loosening rods 9 are fixed on the upper surface of the fixed plate 8. The upper ends of the loosening rods 9 extend into the interior of the basin 1. The loosening rods 9 are made of solid stainless steel. Furthermore, the soil loosening rod 9 has a diameter of 12mm, which can easily penetrate compacted substrate (such as clay). It is not easily bent or deformed after long-term use. Multiple sealing sleeves 13 are fixedly embedded at the bottom of the basin 1. Multiple soil loosening rods 9 slide through the interior of multiple sealing sleeves 13 respectively, which can play a sliding sealing role and prevent the substrate and water inside the basin 1 from leaking out. A ring-shaped protective plate 14 is fixed at the top edge of the base 5, and the top of the ring-shaped protective plate 14 extends to the bottom periphery of the basin 1, which plays a protective role for components such as the electric push rod 7.
[0028] When in use, the user first opens the lid 11 of the water receiving hopper 10 and pours water into the water receiving hopper 10. The water flows through the L-shaped water inlet pipes 4 on both sides and is evenly injected into the annular water cavity 2 inside the side wall of the basin 1. After being stored and buffered in the annular water cavity 2, it slowly seeps out through multiple water outlets 3 at the corresponding positions on the inner wall of the basin 1 and the annular water cavity 2. The anti-clogging mesh 12 in the water outlet 3 can prevent substrate particles from entering the water cavity, and at the same time make the water flow in an annular slow flow to penetrate into the substrate along the inner wall of the basin, avoiding the impact of traditional direct watering that causes the substrate surface to harden.
[0029] When soil loosening is needed, the electric push rod 7 on the base 5 is activated. Its moving end pushes the fixed plate 8 upward. The fixed plate 8 drives multiple stainless steel loosening rods 9 to rise synchronously. The loosening rods 9 pass through the sealing sleeve 13 at the bottom of the pot body 1 (ensuring that the substrate and water do not leak out during sliding) and penetrate deep into the substrate. The physical pushing and stirring action of the solid rod body breaks the deep compacted structure. The electric push rod 7 can precisely adjust the soil loosening depth by controlling the stroke to adapt to the needs of different plant root systems.
[0030] The entire system effectively reduces the risk of substrate compaction and improves the convenience and efficiency of home gardening maintenance through the linkage of optimized watering path and automatic soil loosening mechanism.
[0031] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
