Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of planting troughs, specifically to a roof garden planting trough. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid advancement of urbanization, urban green space is gradually decreasing and the ecological environment is deteriorating. Rooftop gardens, as an innovative greening method, add green elements to urban spaces and improve the ecological environment.

[0003] In the prior art, utility model patent application number CN202420876988.7 discloses a roof garden module, including a flower pot. Multiple partitions are fixedly installed inside the flower pot, dividing the interior space into multiple planting areas. Each planting area has a drainage pipe connected to its bottom. A water collection hopper is fixedly installed at the bottom of the flower pot, and a water outlet pipe is connected to the bottom of the water collection hopper. The drainage pipes can promptly drain excess water from the planting areas to prevent water accumulation, and the water collection hopper collects the drained water.

[0004] However, the aforementioned roof garden modules are not equipped with rainwater collection structures, resulting in a large amount of rainwater not being effectively stored during the rainy season, thus wasting resources. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a roof garden planting trough with rainwater collection function to solve the defects mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A roof garden planting trough includes a support frame on which a planting trough is fixedly mounted. The bottom wall of the planting trough has drainage holes. A water collection tray is mounted on the support frame below the planting trough, designed to collect water discharged from the drainage holes. The water collection tray is driven to slide horizontally by a power device. During rainy weather, the power device drives one end of the water collection tray to extend beyond the bottom of the planting trough to collect rainwater. A water tank is located below the water collection tray, and a water outlet pipe is located at the bottom of the water collection tray. A strip-shaped hole is provided on the top wall of the water tank for the water outlet pipe to pass through. When the water collection tray slides horizontally, it causes the water outlet pipe to move along the strip-shaped hole.

[0008] As a further improvement, the water receiving tray is equipped with a filter sponge.

[0009] As a further improvement, a canopy is installed on the support above the planting trough. The top of the canopy is provided with a water collection trough, and the bottom of the canopy is provided with a drain outlet. When one end of the water receiving tray extends outward from the bottom of the planting trough to collect rainwater, the rainwater collected by the water collection trough is discharged into the water receiving tray through the drain outlet.

[0010] As a further improvement, the canopy is driven to move up and down by a lifting device; on sunny days, the canopy is driven to rise by the lifting device to allow the plants in the planting trough to receive sufficient sunlight; in inclement weather, the canopy is driven to fall by the lifting device to provide protection for the plants in the planting trough.

[0011] As a further improvement, spray pipes are fixedly installed on the supports located on the front and rear sides of the top of the planting trough. The spray pipes are provided with spray holes facing the planting trough. The two spray pipes are connected to the same main pipe. The main pipe is connected to the water tank through a water supply pipe. A water pump is provided on the water supply pipe.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. In rainy weather, the front end of the water collection tray is extended to the outside of the bottom of the planting trough by a motor so that rainwater can be collected through the water collection tray. The rainwater enters the water tank through the water outlet pipe for storage. The stored rainwater can be used to irrigate the plants in the planting trough, thereby achieving the purpose of resource recycling and reuse.

[0014] 2. After the rain stops, this application uses a motor to drive the water collection tray to slide backward and return to its original position, so that the water collection tray is retracted into the bottom of the planting trough, thereby reducing the space occupied;

[0015] 3. In this application, when rainwater is collected in the drip tray, rainwater is also collected in the water collection trough on the roof. The rainwater collected in the water collection trough is discharged into the drip tray through the drain outlet. The rainwater collected in the water collection trough and the drip tray then enter the water tank for storage, thereby improving the efficiency of rainwater collection.

[0016] 4. In severe weather, this application uses an electric push rod to retract and lower the canopy, which provides protection for the plants in the planting trough, preventing them from being damaged by heavy rain.

[0017] 5. This application uses a water pump to draw water stored in the water tank and sprays it onto the plants in the planting trough through a sprinkler pipe, thus eliminating the need for manual watering. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a roof garden planting trough includes a support 1. The support 1 includes two uprights 2 arranged opposite each other on the left and right. A crossbar 3 is fixedly installed between the middle of the two uprights 2 by bolts. A planting trough 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the crossbar 3 by bolts. The planting trough 4 is a long strip extending from left to right. Multiple partitions are fixedly installed inside the planting trough 4 and are evenly spaced along its length. The partitions evenly divide the inner cavity of the planting trough 4 into multiple planting areas 5. Each planting area 5 has a drainage hole 6 on the bottom wall of the planting trough 4 to drain excess water from the planting trough 4.

[0026] A water collection tray 7, equipped with drainage holes 6, is installed on the support 1 located below the planting trough 4. The water collection tray 7 is driven by a power unit to slide horizontally back and forth. Specifically, track boxes 8 are bolted to the inner sides of the two left and right uprights 2, such as... Figure 3As shown, a sliding rod 9 extending forward and backward is fixedly installed in the left track box 8 by bolts, and a slider 10 matching the sliding rod 9 is fixedly installed on the left side of the water receiving tray 7 by bolts; a motor 11 is installed in the right track box 8 by bolts, and one end of a lead screw 12 is connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 11 by a coupling, and the other end of the lead screw 12 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the corresponding track box 8 by a bearing. The lead screw 12 is arranged parallel to the sliding rod 9, and a nut 13 matching the lead screw 12 is fixedly installed on the right side of the water receiving tray 7 by bolts; the left and right track boxes 8 are respectively provided with strip-shaped slots extending forward and backward on the side that are close to each other, so that the slider 10 and the nut 13 can pass through respectively.

[0027] A water tank 14 is provided below the water receiving tray 7. A downward-extending water outlet pipe 15 is provided at the rear bottom of the water receiving tray 7. A strip hole 16 is provided on the top wall of the water tank 14 for the water outlet pipe 15 to pass through. When the water receiving tray 7 slides horizontally back and forth, it drives the water outlet pipe 15 to move back and forth along the strip hole 16.

[0028] When in use, excess water in the planting trough 4 is drained through the drain hole 6, and the water drained through the drain hole 6 is collected by the water receiving tray 7. The water collected by the water receiving tray 7 enters the water tank 14 through the water outlet pipe 15 for storage.

[0029] On sunny days, the water tray 7 remains directly below the bottom of the planting trough 4, without protruding beyond the support 1 to minimize space occupation. Alternatively, on rainy days, the motor 11 drives the lead screw 12 to rotate in a specific direction, causing the water tray 7 to slide forward along the slide rod 9, extending its front end beyond the bottom of the planting trough 4. This allows the water tray 7 to collect rainwater, which then flows through the outlet pipe 15 into the water tank 14 for storage. The stored rainwater can be used to irrigate the plants in the planting trough 4. After the rain stops, the motor 11 drives the lead screw 12 in reverse, causing the water tray 7 to slide backward back to its original position, retracting it back into the bottom of the planting trough 4. In this embodiment, the drain hole 6 is specifically located at the front bottom of the planting trough 4. Even when the front end of the water tray 7 extends beyond the bottom of the planting trough 4, water discharged from the drain hole 6 can still drip down into the water tray 7.

[0030] In this embodiment, a filter sponge 17 is laid at the bottom of the water receiving tray 7 to filter the water discharged through the drain hole 6.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, a canopy 18 is installed on the support 1 above the planting trough 4. The top of the canopy 18 is arched, and a water collection trough 19 is arranged around the top edge of the canopy 18. A drain outlet 20 connected to the water collection trough 19 is provided on the front side of the bottom of the canopy 18. Multiple drain outlets 20 are evenly spaced on the left and right sides. The lower end of the drain outlet 20 is inclined forward. When the front end of the water receiving tray 7 extends out of the bottom outside of the planting trough 4 to collect rainwater, the water collection trough 19 on the canopy 18 also collects rainwater. The rainwater collected by the water collection trough 19 is discharged into the water receiving tray 7 through the drain outlet 20. The rainwater collected by the water collection trough 19 and the water receiving tray 7 then enter the water tank 14 for storage, thereby improving the efficiency of rainwater collection.

[0032] In this embodiment, vertically extending slide rails 21 are fixedly installed on the inner sides of the left and right uprights 2 by bolts, and sliding seats 22 matching the slide rails 21 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the canopy 18. The canopy 18 is driven to move up and down by a lifting device, which is specifically two electric push rods 23 set on the left and right sides of the bottom of the canopy 18. The main body of the electric push rod 23 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the canopy 18 by bolts, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 23 extends downward and is fixedly installed on the uprights 2 on the corresponding side by bolts. On sunny days, the canopy 18 is raised by extending the electric push rods 23 to avoid blocking the sunlight and allow the plants in the planting trough 4 to receive sufficient light. In inclement weather, the canopy 18 is lowered by retracting the electric push rods 23 to provide protection for the plants in the planting trough 4 and prevent them from being damaged by heavy rain.

[0033] Support plates are bolted to the inner sides of the two uprights 2. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 23 is fixed to the corresponding support plate via the connecting seat 24. A horizontally extending sprinkler pipe 25 is also fixed between the two support plates. The two sprinkler pipes 25 are located on the front and rear sides of the top of the planting trough 4, respectively. Multiple spray holes facing the planting trough 4 are evenly distributed on the sprinkler pipes. The right ends of the two sprinkler pipes 25 are connected to the same main pipe 26. The main pipe 26 is connected to the water tank 14 via a water supply pipe, and a water pump is installed on the water supply pipe. The water pump draws water stored in the water tank 14 and sprays it onto the plants in the planting trough 4 through the sprinkler pipes 25, thus eliminating the need for manual watering.

[0034] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
