AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The water in the existing flower pots cannot be completely drained, leading to root hypoxia and affecting the growth and survival rate of flowering plants.

Method used

By installing a capillary drainage device in the flowerpot, the water in the soil is absorbed by the capillary absorbent material and the gravity difference, thereby improving the water permeability and air permeability of the flowerpot.

Benefits of technology

It effectively drains water from the bottom of the flowerpot, reduces root rot, and improves the growth quality and survival rate of flowering plants.

Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model relates to a tall, drainable flowerpot, specifically a flowerpot whose drainage performance is improved by increasing the height of the supporting legs and installing a capillary drainage device. Technical background:

[0002] After thoroughly watering a flowerpot filled with soil, place it on the ground. Water will flow out from the drainage holes. Once the drainage holes stop dripping, pour out the soil from the flowerpot. If you squeeze the soil, you will find that there is still a lot of water inside. It is this water that causes the roots of potted plants to lack oxygen, resulting in poor growth or even death. After watering, only part of the water in the flowerpot drains out; some water remains in the soil at the bottom of the pot and cannot be drained out through the drainage holes. At this point, the soil is like a sponge that has absorbed a lot of water. Due to the surface tension of the water, a large amount of water remains in the gaps between the soil particles. Removing as much of this water as possible can improve the quality and survival rate of potted plants. Summary of the Invention:

[0003] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a tall, draining flowerpot. The flowerpot has extended support legs with a height greater than 7 cm and is equipped with a capillary drainage device. Under the action of capillary drainage, the water accumulated in the gaps of the soil in the flowerpot is drained, thereby improving the water permeability and air permeability of the flowerpot.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] Installing a capillary drainage system in a flowerpot involves using materials with capillary absorption properties, such as cotton thread, cloth strips, paper tape, fiber rods, and hemp rope. The system contacts the soil in the flowerpot. By extending the height of the flowerpot's support legs, the space and distance from the drainage hole at the bottom of the flowerpot to the ground are increased. The capillary drainage system is installed within this space, and the increased height of the support legs further extends the length of the drainage end, creating a gravitational drop. Under the combined effect of capillary absorption and gravitational drop, water from the soil is drawn from the absorption end to the drainage end, where it accumulates and drips out.

[0008] Please see Figure 1 This utility model relates to a tall, drainable flowerpot, comprising a flowerpot (1), a capillary drainage device (2), a water-absorbing end (3) of the capillary drainage device, flowerpot support feet (4), a drain end (5) of the capillary drainage device, and a flowerpot drainage hole (6). The capillary drainage device (2) is installed on the flowerpot (1). The capillary drainage device is made of materials with capillary water absorption properties, such as cotton thread, cloth strips, paper tape, fiber rods, and hemp rope. The capillary drainage device is divided into a water-absorbing end (3) and a drain end (5). After planting, the water-absorbing end of the capillary drainage device is placed in the flowerpot and contacts the soil in the flowerpot. The drain end of the capillary drainage device extends out from the drain hole (6) of the flowerpot. The height of the bottom of the flowerpot is increased by extending the flowerpot support feet (4). This space is equipped with a capillary drainage system. Extending the length of the capillary drainage system's drain end creates a gravity difference between the water intake and drainage ends. Under the combined effect of capillary absorption and gravity, the water accumulated in the soil after watering is drawn from the water intake end to the drainage end. The water then accumulates at the drainage end and drips out. The higher the height of the flowerpot's support legs, the longer the drain end of the capillary drainage system can be installed. The longer the drain end, the better the drainage effect. When the height of the flowerpot's support legs is greater than 7 cm, the flowerpot becomes practical, thereby reducing the occurrence of root rot and suffocation when planting flowers and plants in pots, and improving the quality and survival rate of potted plants.
