Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cultivation technology, and in particular to a drip-irrigated ceramic flowerpot. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional ceramic flowerpots used in homes or offices typically involve hand-watering, where water is concentrated on the surface of the soil within a short period. Since water needs time to penetrate deeper into the soil, this "pulsating" watering method easily leads to insufficient water penetration, only wetting the surface while leaving the deeper soil dry. This results in incomplete watering and uneven water distribution within the growing medium. This is detrimental to the downward growth of plant roots and the even absorption of water, negatively impacting plant health.
[0003] Furthermore, watering a large amount of water in a short period of time, exceeding the soil's instantaneous infiltration and water retention capacity, often causes excess water to overflow from the surface of the pot. This not only wastes water resources but may also soil the tabletop, floor, or windowsill around the flowerpot, affecting the cleanliness and aesthetics of the environment and increasing additional cleaning and maintenance work. Therefore, a drip irrigation ceramic flowerpot is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a drip irrigation ceramic flowerpot to address the above-mentioned technical problems. The pressurized water storage unit at the bottom and the drip irrigation water delivery unit arranged around it work together. The ceramic pot itself can push the piston to slide, so as to slowly and continuously deliver water directly to the soil.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A drip-irrigated ceramic flowerpot includes a ceramic pot body, a pressurized water storage unit at the bottom of the ceramic pot body, the pressurized water storage unit being connected to the ceramic pot body via a connecting seat, and a drip irrigation water delivery unit being provided on the outside of the pressurized water storage unit.
[0007] The pressurized water storage unit includes a water storage base and a piston slidably disposed within the water storage base. A transmission column is connected to the top of the piston, and the transmission column extends outward from the water storage base and connects to the connecting seat.
[0008] Furthermore, the drip irrigation water delivery unit includes a water delivery pipe and a drip irrigation nozzle connected to the top of the water delivery pipe. The bottom end of the water delivery pipe is connected to the outside of the water storage base and communicates with its interior.
[0009] Furthermore, an adjusting valve is provided at the position of the water supply pipe near the water storage base, and multiple drip irrigation water supply units are distributed at equal intervals along the circumference of the water storage base.
[0010] Furthermore, the top of the connector is provided with an embedding groove, and the bottom of the ceramic basin is engaged with the connector through the embedding groove.
[0011] Furthermore, a sealing cap ring is threadedly connected to the top of the water storage base, and the piston can slide along the height direction of the water storage base due to the action of the sealing cap ring.
[0012] Furthermore, a guide rod is slidably connected to the top of the sealing cover ring, and a guide groove adapted to the guide rod is provided on the surface of the connecting seat. The guide rod is slidably assembled with the connecting seat through the guide groove.
[0013] Furthermore, the guide rod has positioning grooves on its surface, and multiple positioning grooves are evenly distributed along the height direction of the guide rod;
[0014] An adjustment column is inserted into a positioning groove within a single guide rod.
[0015] Furthermore, the ceramic basin has a plant cultivation chamber inside, and the water storage base has a water storage cavity located below the piston.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] This utility model provides a drip-irrigated ceramic flowerpot. Through the coordinated operation of a pressurized water storage unit at the bottom and surrounding drip irrigation units, the ceramic pot's own gravity drives a piston to slide, slowly and continuously delivering water directly to the soil. Multiple drip irrigation units are evenly distributed along the circumference of the water storage base, ensuring that water seeps out evenly and stably from multiple points, overcoming the uneven water distribution caused by concentrated watering in manual watering. The slow drip irrigation process allows sufficient time for water to penetrate deep into the soil, ensuring effective wetting of all soil layers (especially the deeper layers). This solves the problem of insufficient watering caused by traditional short-term watering, resulting in a "wet surface, dry deeper layers," and is more conducive to healthy plant root growth.
[0018] Each drip irrigation unit is equipped with a regulating valve on its water delivery pipe, allowing users to adjust the drip rate at each outlet according to soil moisture, plant water requirements, or environmental conditions. This controllable, micro-volume water supply method fundamentally avoids water overflowing from the bottom or rim of the pot due to excessive watering exceeding the soil's instantaneous absorption and infiltration capacity. This not only significantly saves water but also completely solves the problem of waterlogged surfaces and floors affecting the cleanliness of the surrounding environment, making it particularly suitable for homes and offices where cleanliness is a high priority.
[0019] The guide rod, positioning groove, and adjusting column work together to fix the height of the connecting seat relative to the water storage base. This allows users to adjust the final total water output of the entire drip irrigation system according to the water requirements of different plants, improving its practicality.

[0033] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0034] Example 1
[0035] Please refer to Figures 1-6 As shown, a drip irrigation ceramic flowerpot includes a ceramic pot body 1, a pressurized water storage unit 2 at the bottom of the ceramic pot body 1, the pressurized water storage unit 2 being connected to the ceramic pot body 1 via a connecting seat 3, and a drip irrigation water delivery unit 4 being provided on the outside of the pressurized water storage unit 2.
[0036] The pressurized water storage unit 2 includes a water storage base 21 and a piston 22 slidably disposed in the water storage base 21. A transmission column 23 is connected to the top of the piston 22, and the transmission column 23 extends to the outside of the water storage base 21 and is connected to the connecting seat 3.
[0037] Because the ceramic flowerpot of this invention has the above structure, it utilizes the weight of the ceramic pot 1 itself as the driving force. When soil is filled into the ceramic pot 1 and plants are planted, its weight is transmitted to the transmission column 23 through the connecting seat 3, thereby pushing the piston 22 to slide slowly downwards within the water storage base 21. The water storage chamber at the bottom of the piston 22 is compressed, and water is slowly forced out. This design requires no external power, achieving continuous and stable pressurized water supply driven by gravity, providing a power basis for subsequent drip irrigation operations.
[0038] This ensures that water seeps out evenly and stably from multiple points, overcoming the uneven water distribution caused by concentrated watering in a single point during manual watering. The slow drip irrigation process gives water ample time to penetrate deep into the soil, ensuring that all soil layers (especially the deep layers) are effectively moistened. This solves the problem of insufficient watering caused by traditional short-term irrigation, where the surface is wet but the deeper layers are dry, and is more conducive to the healthy growth of plant roots.
[0039] Example 2
[0040] The drip-irrigation ceramic flowerpot provided in Example 1 has been further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the drip irrigation water delivery unit 4 includes a water delivery pipe 41 and a drip irrigation nozzle 42 connected to the top of the water delivery pipe 41. The bottom end of the water delivery pipe 41 is connected to the outside of the water storage base 21 and communicates with its interior.
[0041] A regulating valve 43 is provided at the position of the water supply pipe 41 near the water storage base 21, and multiple drip irrigation water supply units 4 are distributed at equal intervals along the circumference of the water storage base 21.
[0042] Because of the above structure of the drip-irrigated ceramic flowerpot of this invention, water is squeezed out from the water storage base 21 and transported upward through the connected water supply pipe 41, finally dripping evenly from the drip irrigation nozzle 42 located in the upper layer of the soil. Multiple drip irrigation water supply units 4 are distributed at equal intervals along the circumference, allowing irrigation water to seep out simultaneously from multiple radial positions in the flowerpot, effectively ensuring uniform water distribution across the soil cross-section. Furthermore, the regulating valve 43 installed on each water supply pipe 41 allows users to individually adjust or close the flow rate of any water supply branch as needed, adapting to the different water requirements of different plants and seasons, thus achieving personalized irrigation management.
[0043] Example 3
[0044] Further optimizations were made to the drip-irrigation ceramic flowerpots provided in Embodiment 1 or 2, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the top of the connecting seat 3 is provided with an embedding groove 31, and the bottom of the ceramic basin 1 is engaged with the connecting seat 3 through the embedding groove 31.
[0045] Because the drip-irrigated ceramic flowerpot of this invention has the above structure, the embedding groove 31 at the top of the connecting seat 3 and the bottom of the ceramic pot body 1 are fitted together. This connection method not only ensures a stable connection between the ceramic pot body 1, the connecting seat 3 and the pressurized water storage unit 2, and can reliably transmit gravity, but also makes the ceramic pot body 1 and the water supply system below a detachable modular design.
[0046] When it is necessary to replenish the water storage base 21, or to thoroughly clean the flowerpot or replace the plant, the ceramic pot 1 can be easily lifted and separated from the connecting seat 3. The operation is very simple and improves the convenience of maintenance.
[0047] Example 4
[0048] The drip-irrigation ceramic flowerpot provided in Example 3 has been further optimized, such as... Figure 6 As shown, a sealing cap ring 210 is threadedly connected to the top of the water storage base 21, and the piston 22 can slide along the height direction of the water storage base 21 due to the action of the sealing cap ring 210.
[0049] The top of the sealing cover ring 210 is slidably connected to a guide rod 5, and the surface of the connecting seat 3 is provided with a guide groove 32 that is adapted to the guide rod 5. The guide rod 5 is slidably assembled with the connecting seat 3 through the guide groove 32.
[0050] The guide rod 5 has a positioning groove 51 on its surface, and a plurality of positioning grooves 51 are distributed at equal intervals along the height direction of the guide rod 5;
[0051] An adjusting column 52 is inserted into a positioning groove 51 within a single guide rod 5.
[0052] Because the drip-irrigated ceramic flowerpot of this utility model has the above structure, the threaded connection between the sealing cap ring 210 and the water storage base 21 ensures the sealing of the piston 22's moving chamber, while restricting the piston 22's movement path so that it can only slide smoothly in the height direction. Furthermore, rotating the sealing cap ring 210 allows it to be disassembled, thereby allowing the piston 22 to be removed, which facilitates adding water or cleaning the inside of the water storage chamber.
[0053] The sliding engagement between the guide rod 5 and the guide groove 32 on the connecting seat 3 provides a precise vertical guide for the overall lifting and lowering movement of the ceramic pot 1 and the connecting seat 3, preventing skewing. Multiple positioning grooves 51 evenly spaced on the surface of the guide rod 5 engage with the adjusting column 52 to form a height adjustment and locking mechanism. By inserting the adjusting column 52 into the positioning grooves 51 at different heights, the final height at which the ceramic pot 1 pushes the piston downwards can be adjusted. This allows the user to preset the maximum water supply volume based on the size of the water storage chamber and the plant's estimated water requirement, achieving controllable adjustment of the total water supply and enhancing the product's applicability.
[0054] Example 5
[0055] The drip-irrigation ceramic flowerpot provided in Example 4 has been further optimized, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the interior of the ceramic basin 1 is provided with a plant cultivation chamber, and the water storage base 21 is provided with a water storage cavity located below the piston 22.
[0056] Because the drip-irrigated ceramic flowerpot of this invention has the above structure, the plant cultivation chamber inside the ceramic pot 1 is used to accommodate soil and plant roots, forming the main growth space. The water storage chamber located below the piston 22 in the water storage base 21 serves as an independent closed water storage container. These two functional areas are cleverly connected through a transmission mechanism and piping system, yet remain relatively independent. The weight change in the plant cultivation chamber is converted into water pressure in the water storage chamber through mechanical transmission, and the water in the water storage chamber is then directly applied to the soil in the cultivation chamber through the drip irrigation water delivery unit 4, forming a gravity-sensing, self-supplied, slow drip irrigation circulation system.
