Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flower pot maintenance equipment, specifically a flower pot plant maintenance device. Background Technology
[0002] In most flower cultivation methods, plants are grown in pots, and after being sold to consumers, they are expected to continue cultivating the plants in pots. One common problem when cultivating plants in pots is root rot. In the limited space of a pot, water easily accumulates, hindering the roots' aerobic respiration and causing root rot, thus affecting the plant's growth. The roots in the very center of the plant are particularly susceptible to rot because while soil moisture can evaporate or seep downwards in the upper and lower parts of the plant, the central area has poor water retention, making it difficult for moisture to diffuse and permeate. Furthermore, pathogens generated from root rot can directly affect the surrounding root systems, impacting the plant's survival rate.
[0003] Meanwhile, traditional aeration and soil loosening methods are difficult to effectively deliver air into the soil inside the flowerpot. For the deeper parts of the soil in the flowerpot, it is still impossible to carry out aeration operations, and the continuity of aeration operations cannot be guaranteed. This makes it impossible to ensure effective respiration of the root system over a long period of time, thus failing to fundamentally solve the above problems.
[0004] Based on the above problems, a potted plant care device is designed to ensure rapid and continuous aeration of the roots in the pot, thereby alleviating root rot and ensuring normal plant growth. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for maintaining plants in flowerpots, which can ensure rapid and continuous aeration of the roots in the flowerpot, thereby continuously alleviating root rot problems and ensuring normal plant growth.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution:
[0007] A potted plant care device includes an insertion tube with vent holes evenly spaced on its side wall. The vent holes are connected to an air pump via a valve body, and the air pump delivers gas toward the insertion tube.
[0008] The valve body includes a flow divider cavity, one end of which is provided with an air inlet, and the air inlet is connected to the air pump through an air inlet pipe.
[0009] The other end of the diversion cavity is provided with multiple air outlets at equal intervals. Each air outlet is connected to the port of the insertion tube through an air outlet pipe. A regulating valve is provided at each air outlet position to open and close the air outlet.
[0010] The lower end of the insertion tube has a pointed conical structure, and the lower end of the pointed conical structure is smoothly connected to the tube wall of the insertion tube.
[0011] The insertion tube is a rigid plastic tube, and the rigid plastic tube is made of a cutable material.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] This device, when set up, utilizes an insertion tube and an air pump to effectively deliver gas into the insertion tube. After the insertion tube is inserted into the soil of the flowerpot, the gas diffuses outwards, effectively distributing it throughout the soil. Furthermore, the device incorporates a valve component, which allows for simultaneous gas delivery to multiple parts of the flowerpot or aeration of the soil in different flowerpots. This significantly increases the efficiency and effectiveness of flowerpot maintenance, thereby greatly reducing the risk of root rot. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined in this application.
[0020] Because traditional flower cultivation involves growing flowers in pots, this environment is particularly prone to root rot, especially for beginners. This is because the soil is too compacted, preventing air from entering. Furthermore, watering the pots often involves inconsistent watering amounts, hindering the roots' aerobic respiration. This allows anaerobic bacteria to multiply rapidly, corroding and damaging the roots, ultimately preventing the plant from growing and reproducing normally.
[0021] To address the aforementioned issues, a potted plant care device is provided, comprising an insertion tube 1. Ventilation holes 2 are evenly spaced on the side wall of the insertion tube 1, and these ventilation holes 2 are connected to an air pump via a valve body 3. The air pump delivers gas to the insertion tube 1. By creating the ventilation holes 2 on the side wall of the insertion tube 1, after the insertion tube 1 is inserted into the soil of the pot, air enters the insertion tube 1 and diffuses through the ventilation holes 2 into the gaps in the soil. This allows for gas exchange between the soil and the outside air, effectively expelling harmful gases from the soil while ensuring that outside gases effectively enter the soil, thus enabling the roots to perform effective aerobic respiration. Furthermore, the connection to the air pump via the valve body 3 allows the air pump to deliver gas through the valve body 3 into the soil. This method enables the roots to quickly resume normal respiration without affecting their normal absorption of soil nutrients. Most importantly, this method does not cause excessive evaporation of soil moisture, and it does not require continuous application of the insertion tube 1 to the root system of the flowerpot, thus ensuring that the root system of the flowerpot has normal propagation space.
[0022] The above structure will be further configured and optimized as follows:
[0023] The valve body 3 includes a flow divider 4, one end of which is provided with an air inlet 5, and the air inlet 5 is connected to the air pump via an air inlet pipe. The other end of the flow divider 4 is provided with multiple air outlets 6 at equal intervals, each air outlet 6 being connected to the port of the insertion tube 1 via an air outlet pipe; a regulating valve 7 is provided at each air outlet 6, and the air outlet 6 is opened and closed by the regulating valve 7. The beneficial effects achieved by the above structural design are as follows:
[0024] 1. Because root lesions occur in different locations within a flowerpot, a single insertion tube 1 within a single flowerpot cannot meet the normal respiration needs of the entire root system. Therefore, the insertion tube 1 connected to the outlet 6 of the aforementioned diversion chamber 4 can be inserted into different locations within the soil of the same flowerpot, allowing roots in multiple lesion locations within the flowerpot to effectively respire, thereby minimizing the severity of root lesions.
[0025] Meanwhile, the insertion tube 1 connected to the extra air outlet 6 can also be inserted into different soil positions in different flower pots to achieve the purpose of gas delivery to the roots of multiple flower pots through one air pump, thereby maximizing the efficiency of plant maintenance.
[0026] 2. Because after the insertion tube 1 is inserted into the soil, the regulating valve body 7 set in the air outlet 6 can regulate the gas flow rate. Therefore, for some plants with relatively fragile root systems, the flow rate of the regulating valve body can be adjusted to buffer the external gas received by the root system at the diseased location, so as to ensure that the plant root system avoids other damage problems while exchanging air.
[0027] The lower end of the insertion tube 1 has a pointed conical structure, and the lower end of the pointed conical structure is smoothly connected to the wall of the insertion tube 1. This ensures that the insertion tube 1 can be smoothly inserted into the plant's root system. At the same time, the pointed conical structure can squeeze the soil in the flowerpot to both sides during insertion, thereby reducing direct damage to the plant's root system caused by the insertion of the insertion tube 1 and ensuring better plant growth.
[0028] The insertion tube 1 is a rigid plastic tube, and the rigid plastic tube is made of a cuttable material so that the length of the tube can be adjusted by cutting the rigid plastic tube, so as to ensure that the insertion tube 1 can better adapt to the depth of the flower pot soil.
[0029] Therefore, the design of a potted plant care device can ensure that the roots in the pot can be quickly aerated, and at the same time, ensure the continuity of aeration, so that the root system of plants with root rot problems can be continuously alleviated, thereby ensuring that the plants can grow normally.
