Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garden layout equipment technology, and in particular to a slope planting trough. Background Technology

[0002] Slope landscaping has become a new urban landscape trend. By arranging different colored flowers to form words or patterns at an angle, it is not only aesthetically pleasing but also serves as a landmark photo spot, enhancing the city's attractiveness and boosting surrounding commercial and tourism consumption. However, the initial investment for this type of landscaping is currently huge. It requires not only professional technicians to design the patterns but also to design specific planting troughs to hold the flower pots. In addition, the subsequent maintenance costs are also high, requiring manual watering and fertilization of the flowers. Since slope landscaping requires a large number of flowers, manual maintenance alone is very time-consuming and labor-intensive and may even affect the viewing experience for tourists.

[0003] Therefore, to address the above shortcomings, a slope planting trough needs to be provided. Utility Model Content

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0026] A type of slope planting trough, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 3 The system includes a trough box 1, a drip irrigation pipe 2, a water-absorbing pad 3, a support rod 4, a connecting rod 5, and a support frame 6. Multiple trough boxes 1 are arranged at an angle on the support frame 6 with a slope. Several flower pots 8 with decorative flowers are placed inside the trough box 1. The drip irrigation pipe 2 is placed inside the trough box 1. The plate-shaped water-absorbing pad 3 is placed at the bottom of the flower pot 8 inside the trough box 1. The long strip-shaped support rod 4 is placed on one side of the bottom of the flower pot 8 and the side wall of the trough box 1 so that the mouth of the flower pot 8 is parallel to the slope. Several long strip-shaped connecting rods 5 are fixed at intervals to the top of the trough box 1 and extend to connect the upper and lower layers of the trough box 1 on the support frame 6.

[0027] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 3 The trough box 1 is a U-shaped structure formed by bending sheet metal, preferably made of aluminum alloy or stainless steel. The sheet metal thickness of trough box 1 is no more than 10mm to facilitate bending. The length of the trough box is no less than 1m and no more than 3m. It can hold multiple flower pots and can be transported on a pickup truck. One person can operate one trough box 1 during installation and dismantling, saving time and effort. Near the bottom of the trough box 1, the sloping top bends outward into an L-shaped pipe bend area 11. The drip irrigation pipe 2 is placed within the pipe bend area 11. The pipe bend area 11 provides space for the drip irrigation pipe 2 and also enhances the structural strength of the trough box 1 to prevent deformation during transportation or stacking. The top of the trough box 1 has two inward bends on both sides, forming top bend angles 12. The top bend angles 12 are flat and abut against the connecting rod 5. The top bend angles 12 further enhance the structural strength of the trough box 1 and facilitate connection with the connecting rod 5.

[0028] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 3The top of the trough 1 has an L-shaped top bend 13 on the side away from the pipe bend 11. The top bend 13 bends outward so that the distance between the two top bend angles 12 is greater than the outer diameter of the flowerpot 8. The top bend 13 enhances the structural strength and expands the opening without increasing the width of the trough 1, making it easier to handle the conical flowerpot 8. A pesticide application tube 21 can also be placed inside the top bend 13. The application tube 21 has several small holes. By injecting pressurized pesticide solution into the application tube 21, the solution can be sprayed upwards onto the flower leaves. Pesticide solutions such as abamectin or imidacloprid can be used to repel and kill insect eggs and adults crawling under the leaves. This method is more effective than spraying from the outside, thus extending the flowering period. Furthermore, intermittent spraying does not harm other animals and is virtually pollution-free to the environment.

[0029] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 4 Each drip irrigation pipe 2 has a branch pipe connected to one side of each flowerpot 8. A connecting rod 5 is fixed to a pipe hook 52 near the drip irrigation pipe 2. This branch pipe extends above the flowerpot 8, bypassing the bend of the pipe hook 52, to achieve automatic watering. The pipe hook 52 is fixed to the branch pipe of the drip irrigation pipe 2 with steel wire to prevent the branch pipe from shifting due to wind or water. The connecting rod 5 is a long, flat plate located between the flowerpots 8. The connecting rod 5 is fixed to the plane of the top bend 12 by bolt pairs 51, and 3 to 6 trough boxes 1 are connected vertically by bolt pairs 51. The connecting rod 5 not only supports the branch pipes but also further enhances the structural strength of the trough box 1, making it less prone to deformation under pressure, thus providing stable support for the flowerpots 8.

[0030] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 3 The absorbent pad 3 can be a sponge pad or a rubber pad. The absorbent pad 3 can hold some rainwater when it rains and can supply a small amount of water to the flower pots on sunny days, saving water for daily maintenance. A support bar 4 is set to support the frustum-shaped flower pot 8 so that it is not easy to tilt and ensure the aesthetics of the landscape.

[0031] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2The support frame 6 is a right-angled trapezoidal frame welded from square tubing. The width of the support frame 6 is less than the length of the trough box 1, and several support frames 6 are spaced apart along the length of the trough box 1. Using multiple support frames 6 facilitates storage and transportation, and no lifting equipment is needed during placement; manual alignment is sufficient. Furthermore, raising the bottom of the support frames 6 further increases the capacity of the slope landscape, allowing for the arrangement of more flowers and a larger display. Several limiting blocks 7 are spaced at intervals on the upper and lower ends of the slope of the support frame 6. Each limiting block 7 is a hollow cube welded from three square plates, with the distance between two adjacent limiting blocks 7 slightly greater than the width of the trough box 1. To improve visual appeal, the slope angle is generally adjusted to no less than 75°. The limiting blocks 7 clamp the trough box 1, ensuring that it will not slip or overturn at large angles, while also ensuring load-bearing capacity. The regular shape also facilitates transportation and storage, achieving multiple benefits. A long strip-shaped receiving plate 71 is welded between the limiting block 7 and the upright 6. The width of the receiving plate 71 is the same as the width of the upright 6 and the end face is smooth, which facilitates lateral fine adjustment during the layout to ensure that the connecting rod 5 can be connected to each slot box 1 through bolt pair 51.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such 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 embodiments of this utility model.
