Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of landscaping and greening, and in particular relates to a small 3D printed elongated bone-like vine green sculpture. Background Technology

[0002] Existing plant sculptures, also known as green sculptures or three-dimensional flower beds, are a form of plant landscaping used in vertical greening. They leverage the ecological functions of plants, enrich the layers of urban greening, enhance visual appeal, and promote the upgrading of urban landscaping. In existing technologies, the main structure of a green sculpture typically includes a base, a frame, and a planting net. The base is used to fix the sculpture to the ground, the frame shapes the sculpture and provides support, and the planting net secures the cultivation substrate on which the plants are planted. Typically, garden green sculptures are installed after the urban garden is completed. Larger sculptures are difficult to move or replace, and the design, production, and installation of green sculptures are often separate processes, resulting in a somewhat abrupt integration with the environment and a lack of organic fusion with the landscape. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The problem this invention aims to solve is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a small 3D printed, growing bone-like vine green sculpture.

[0004] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A small-scale 3D-printed, growing bone-like vine sculpture includes a skeleton formed by 3D printing. The skeleton is wrapped with a fiber layer and a climbing net. The skeleton is installed on a planting trough. Several connecting bones are welded to the bottom of the planting trough, and the upper ends of the connecting bones are connected to the skeleton. The connecting bones are wrapped with a fiber layer and a climbing net, and the fiber layer and climbing net on the connecting bones are connected to the fiber layer and climbing net on the skeleton, respectively. A filter screen is installed in the lower part of the planting trough, and planting material is laid on the filter screen. Water and fertilizer are stored below the filter screen.

[0006] Preferably, the filter screen is a stainless steel mesh.

[0007] Preferably, the planting trough is a metal trough or a concrete trough.

[0008] Preferably, the skeleton is formed by 3D printing using ABS plastic.

[0009] Preferably, the fiber layer is made of wood fiber or hemp fiber.

[0010] Preferably, the climbing net is a mesh structure made of cotton fiber, linen fiber, or polyester fiber.

[0011] This invention allows for the prefabrication of green sculptures, making them movable and replaceable. Depending on the planning, suitable green sculptures can be selected or replaced at different greening sites. Prefabricated series of green sculptures exhibit greater coordination and coherence. This invention also enables the native application of vines in green sculptures, creating landscape green sculptures with a sense of layering and three-dimensionality. Native plants have strong adaptability to their planting environment, adding a natural aesthetic to the green sculptures. Furthermore, this invention enables hydroponic vines and a framework for water and fertilizer transfer, reducing the difficulty and cost of maintaining green sculptures. Attached Figure Description

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments.

[0017] This embodiment includes a skeleton 1 and a planting trough 2. The skeleton 1 is formed by 3D printing, preferably using ABS plastic (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer) as the 3D printing material. The skeleton 1 can be made into any desired shape through 3D printing. If the skeleton 1 is small, it can be printed as a whole in one piece. If the skeleton 1 is large, it can be printed in several parts and then assembled together. The skeleton 1 is installed on the planting trough 2 by welding the bottom of the skeleton 1 to the planting trough 2.

[0018] The framework 1 is surrounded by a fiber layer 4, which in turn is surrounded by a climbing net 5. In other words, the framework 1 is sequentially wrapped with fiber layer 4 and climbing net 5. Fiber layer 4 can be made of wood fiber or hemp fiber, and it acts as a capillary absorber and transpire layer, drawing water and fertilizer from the lower part of the planting trough 2 to various locations on the framework 1. The climbing net 5 can be made of cotton fiber, hemp fiber, or polyester fiber, and has a fine mesh structure, suitable for vines to climb or twine around via tendrils, suckers, etc.

[0019] The aforementioned planting trough 2 provides growing space and water / fertilizer for the vines. Planting trough 2 is a box-like structure, which can be made of rigid materials such as metal or concrete, and is installed underground. A filter screen 3 is installed in the lower middle part of planting trough 2, dividing it into upper and lower layers. The filter screen 3 is preferably made of stainless steel mesh, capable of supporting planting materials such as soil and expanded clay pebbles, while also filtering out water and fertilizer seepage. Planting materials such as soil and expanded clay pebbles are laid on top of the filter screen 3. Vine plants are planted in the planting trough 2 above the filter screen 3, preferably annual or biennial varieties, such as: Ivy, Wisteria, and Pothos. The planting trough 2 below the filter screen 3 collects and stores the water and fertilizer that seeps through the filter screen 3.

[0020] Several connecting ribs 7 are welded upwards on the bottom surface of the planting trough 2. (This embodiment is attached.) Figure 2 The example given is of a single connecting bone 7. Multiple connecting bones 7 can be added as needed, for example, one connecting bone 7 can be placed at each of the four corners of the planting trough 2. The connecting bones 7 are welded to the bottom surface inside the planting trough 2. The upper end of the connecting bone 7 is connected to the skeleton 1. Like the skeleton 1, the connecting bone 7 is also formed by 3D printing, using ABS plastic as the 3D printing material. A fiber layer 4 and a climbing net 5 are sequentially wrapped around the connecting bone 7. The fiber layer 4 on the connecting bone 7 is connected to the fiber layer 4 on the skeleton 1, and the climbing net 5 on the connecting bone 7 is connected to the climbing net 5 on the skeleton 1, ensuring that water and fertilizer can be transported to the entire skeleton 1 through the fiber layer 4 of the connecting bone 7.

[0021] This embodiment uses *Ipomoea quamoclit* 6 as an example to illustrate the usage process: Planting soil, expanded clay pebbles, and other planting materials are filled into the planting trough 2 above the filter screen 3. Several *Ipomoea quamoclit* 6 plants are transplanted as green sculpture vines. Existing vines are fixed along the connecting bone 7 and the framework 1, and tied with plastic rope every 20cm. A vine culture solution is prepared by sequentially dissolving potassium nitrate, ammonium nitrate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, calcium carbonate, magnesium sulfate, and trace elements in an appropriate amount of purified water, adjusting the pH to approximately 6.5. The prepared vine culture solution is poured into the planting trough 2, ensuring that the bottom of the vine roots are in contact with the solution. The vine culture solution is transported to the fiber layer 4 on the framework 1 through capillary absorption and transpiration via the fiber layer 4 on the connecting bone 7. New shoots of *Ipomoea quamoclit* 6 grow along the framework 1 and attach to the climbing net 5 for fixation. After the cypress vines (6) have recovered their growth vigor in the nursery, they are transported to the garden site for on-site installation. The installation site only requires digging a planting hole slightly larger than the planting trough (2), hoisting the planting trough (2) into the planting hole, and then burying and securing it. Vining nutrient solution is added on-site to encourage the cypress vines (6) to continue growing until they achieve the desired landscape effect. This invention allows for the natural growth of the vines in the green sculpture, which can also be maintained in the nursery for a long period until the vines have grown to form the desired landscape effect before being planted in the garden site.

[0022] If the green sculpture planted on-site by this invention does not meet the overall planning or effect requirements of the garden later, the planting trough 2 can be dug out along the outside of the planting trough 2 and transplanted to other locations, where a suitable green sculpture can be planted again, thus realizing the mobility and replacement of the green sculpture.

[0023] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
