Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flower pot technology, specifically a biomimetic breathable flower pot. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of living standards and the acceleration of work pace, people have placed higher demands on flower pots. Currently, most flower pots on the market have a drainage hole at the bottom, allowing water to be poured directly onto the plant and soil through the opening and drained away through the drainage hole. However, because current flower pots need to ensure drainage, it is difficult to ensure aeration while supporting water.

[0003] Existing patent CN222888285U describes a flowerpot with good air permeability, comprising: a base, a pot body placed on the base, a drain tray placed at the bottom of the pot body, the drain tray having several drain holes, and a drain space formed between the drain tray and the base. The base has several first ventilation holes along its circumference, so that the drain space can be connected to the outside through the first ventilation holes. This utility model can effectively improve the air permeability of the flowerpot and prevent water leakage.

[0004] However, this device also has some drawbacks. Although it has multiple sets of ventilation holes, the ventilation path is relatively simple, and the uniformity of air circulation within the pot may be insufficient, making it difficult to meet the needs of plant varieties that require extremely high air permeability. Furthermore, when cleaning the inside of the flowerpot, it is not easy to thoroughly clean every corner, which can easily leave behind dirt and bacteria, affecting the healthy growth of the plants.

[0005] Based on this, a biomimetic breathable flowerpot is now provided, which can eliminate the drawbacks of existing devices. Utility Model Content

The edges of the first drainage ditch 307 and the second drainage ditch 308 are provided with micro-convex structures. The bionic water ditch system opened at the bottom of the base imitates the inflow and outflow channels of a sponge, and is designed with radial shallow drainage channels to quickly guide accumulated water to the drainage holes, while imitating the sponge's... The bone needles have a slightly convex structure at the edge of the drainage ditch to support the soil and prevent blockage. The top of the bionic base 3 has a second positioning plug 303 with a second threaded hole 304. The second positioning plug 303 and the second threaded hole 304 can be easily connected to the honeycomb bionic drain tray 2.

[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the positioning slots 203 are connected to the top basin 1 and the bottom bionic base 3 respectively. The positioning slots 203 are connected to the first positioning plug 103 of the top basin 1 by a positioning bolt 204, which passes through the first threaded hole 104 and the third threaded hole 205. The positioning slots 203 are connected to the second positioning plug 303 of the bottom bionic base 3 by a positioning bolt 204, which passes through the second threaded hole 304 and the third threaded hole 205. The connection is stable, and the assembly and disassembly are simple and easy to clean.

[0037] In one embodiment, Figure 8 As shown, the stomatal adjustment mechanism 4 includes a rotating ring 401, which has ventilation holes 402 circumferentially opened. The rotating ring 401 has a rotating head 403 on its side. The size of the ventilation holes 402 can be adjusted by adjusting the rotating head 403. The size of the ventilation holes can be adjusted according to the ambient humidity and the oxygen demand of the plants, thereby achieving the effect of dynamic ventilation control.

[0038] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the end of the vent 102 located on the inner side of the pot side wall 101 is lower than the end of the vent 102 located on the outer side of the pot side wall 101, so as to avoid water leakage caused by the water resistance of the cultivation medium during watering and enhance the water retention function. The end of the drain hole 305 located on the inner side of the base side wall 301 is higher than the end of the drain hole 305 located on the outer side of the base side wall 301, so as to facilitate rapid drainage and prevent water accumulation.

[0039] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the honeycomb drainage hole 202, honeycomb air guide hole 207, honeycomb ventilation hole 206, and ventilation hole 402 are connected to ensure ventilation effect and good uniformity of air circulation in the basin.

[0040] The above embodiment discloses a biomimetic breathable flowerpot. The user first assembles the device by inserting the second positioning plug 303 on the top of the biomimetic base 3 into the positioning slot 203 of the honeycomb biomimetic drain tray 2, and then inserting the positioning plug 103 on the bottom of the pot body 1 into the positioning slot 203 of the honeycomb biomimetic drain tray 2. The rotating ring 401 of the air hole adjustment mechanism 4 passes through the pot body 1 and the honeycomb biomimetic drain tray 2 from top to bottom and is placed on the handle 302 on the top of the biomimetic base 3. Finally, the positioning bolt 204 is used to fix the pot body 1 and the honeycomb biomimetic drain tray 2 by passing through the first threaded hole 104 and the third threaded hole 205. The positioning bolt 204 is also used to fix the biomimetic base 3 and the honeycomb biomimetic drain tray 2 by passing through the second threaded hole 304 and the third threaded hole 205. The positioning bolt 204 also limits the air hole adjustment mechanism 4. After assembly, the plant and soil are placed in the pot 1 and supported by the honeycomb bionic drainage tray 2. When watering the plant, water can be drained through the honeycomb drainage holes 202 on the honeycomb bionic drainage tray 2, and the dripping water is temporarily stored in the space of the lower bionic base 3 to prevent water leakage. The water is then directed to the first drainage ditch 307 through the second drainage ditch 308 at the bottom of the bionic base 3, and can also be drained through the bottom drainage hole 309 located at the bottom of the side wall of the bionic base 3. When there is too much water in the bionic base 3, the drainage hole 305 located on the side wall of the bionic base 3 can also automatically drain water quickly and efficiently to prevent water accumulation. At the same time, due to the setting of the air vent 102, honeycomb air guide hole 207, honeycomb ventilation hole 206, and ventilation hole 402, the pot 1 is kept in communication with the outside air to ensure the breathability of the inside of the pot 1. During use, the ventilation effect of the pot 1 can be adjusted through the air hole adjustment mechanism 4. The size of the ventilation hole 402 can be adjusted according to different environmental humidity and plant oxygen demand, achieving dynamic control of ventilation. This utility model utilizes biomimetic design to optimize the ventilation inside the pot 1 while improving drainage and water discharge. It is also easy to assemble and disassemble, convenient for cleaning and maintenance, and can dynamically control ventilation during use, making it widely applicable.
