Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of water collection and water-saving devices, and more specifically, provides a tree water collection and loss reduction care box for arid areas. Background Technology

[0002] Ecosystems in arid and semi-arid regions are constrained by a water imbalance pattern of scarce precipitation and intense evaporation, making efficient water use a core constraint on artificial vegetation construction (Hu Zhou. Research progress on the application of efficient water resource utilization technology in arid areas [J]. Water Conservancy Technology Supervision, 2023, (12): 256-258). Currently, in urban greening in arid areas, regular maintenance is mainly adopted to ensure the healthy growth of green plants. However, the operation of regular watering of green plants is very cumbersome, and long-term implementation consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, increasing the cost of municipal engineering construction. Moreover, due to the poor water retention of the soil, most of the water is lost, and natural precipitation is not properly utilized, resulting in water waste (He Xinjie. Greening maintenance strategies for urban gardens in arid and semi-arid regions [J]. Modern Horticulture, 2018, (08): 169.).

[0003] In large-scale artificial afforestation, rainwater harvesting techniques such as fish-scale pits and reverse-slope terraces effectively collect rainwater to plant roots (Liu Bing. Drought-resistant afforestation techniques in northern regions [J]. Modern Rural Science and Technology, 2024, (09): 67-68.), but in some areas, poor soil water retention leads to significant water loss (Zhang Haojie, Ma Jiangang, He Fan, et al. Characteristics of soil and water loss in Liangwang tea plantations under different measures [J / OL]. China Soil and Water Conservation, 1-5 [2025-07-08].); drip irrigation technology effectively reduces soil moisture loss. Poor soil water retention leads to water loss, but drip irrigation does not take into account the water evaporation of the root soil around plants; mulching technology effectively reduces water evaporation and loss from the root soil and increases soil temperature, but it also blocks rainwater from seeping into the root soil to a certain extent, and has disadvantages such as high construction cost and poor convenience (Yao Jianmin, Bi Xinyuan, Li Ruizhen, et al. Research and performance analysis of ultra-thin fully biodegradable permeable mulch film [J]. China Plastics, 2025, 39(05):95-100.). Some researchers have also invented rainwater harvesting drip irrigation system devices, but they all have problems such as not being able to comprehensively reduce rainwater loss, high cost, poor convenience, and poor applicability. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a water-collecting and water-reducing cultivation box for tree planting in arid areas, which can effectively collect natural rainwater, improve water use efficiency, reduce water loss through evaporation from the root soil, and increase the temperature of the root soil.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows:

[0006] A water collection and loss reduction cultivation box for tree planting in arid areas includes a water collection tank, a water inlet device, a water outlet device, and a filter screen. The water collection tank is equipped with a water inlet, a water outlet, a top cover plate, and a bottom plate. The filter screen is located on the water inlet. The top cover plate slopes inward from the edge. Collected water enters the water collection tank through the water inlet, the filter screen, and the water inlet device. The water inlet device is a pressure-type water inlet device, located inside the water collection tank. Under water pressure, the pressure-type water inlet device opens. When there is no water pressure, the top of the pressure-type water inlet device is completely sealed to the water inlet, forming a closed space inside the water collection tank. The water outlet device is a controllable water outlet device. The top of the controllable water outlet device is connected to the water outlet of the water collection tank, and the end can be directly inserted into the soil of the plant roots.

[0007] Furthermore, in the aforementioned arid zone tree planting water collection and loss reduction nurturing box, the pressure-type water inlet device includes, from bottom to top, a horizontal support platform, a pressure-type spring cylinder, a sealing cover support column, and a sealing cover. The horizontal support platform is connected to the water collection tank. The bottom of the pressure-type spring cylinder is connected to the horizontal support platform to ensure that the middle pressure spring can be evenly stressed. The top is connected to the sealing cover through the sealing cover support column. The sealing cover is completely sealed to the water inlet when there is no water pressure, so that the inside of the water collection tank forms a closed space.

[0008] Furthermore, in the aforementioned arid zone tree planting water collection and loss reduction cultivation box, the adjustable water outlet device includes a water collection bowl, a guide pipe for controlling the water outlet speed, and a regulator installed on the guide pipe. The top of the water collection bowl is connected to the outlet of the water collection tank, and the bottom is connected to the guide pipe. The end of the guide pipe can be directly inserted into the soil around the plant roots. A filter screen is installed on the top of the water collection bowl. The end of the guide pipe can be directly inserted into the soil around the plant roots. The regulator controls the water outlet speed.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the water collection bowl in the arid zone tree planting water loss reduction and nurturing box is equipped with a filter screen.

[0010] Preferably, in the arid zone tree planting water collection and loss reduction nurturing box, the bottom plate of the water collection box is an inclined bottom plate, which can collect water to the outlet, and the water flows through the outlet of the water collection box to the controllable water outlet device.

[0011] Preferably, the arid zone tree planting water collection and loss reduction maintenance box is made of transparent PVC material, which facilitates light to pass through the box and irradiate the tree root soil, and has good heat preservation and anti-evaporation effects.

[0012] Furthermore, the arid zone tree planting water collection and loss reduction nurturing box has a groove on one side, which is the location of the tree trunk.

[0013] Furthermore, in the aforementioned arid zone tree planting water collection and loss reduction nurturing box, the upper end of the water collection box with a groove is provided with a buckle, which can combine two water collection boxes together to form a hole that does not affect the growth of the tree trunk.

[0014] Furthermore, the upper cover plate is provided with a handle.

[0015] The top cover of this utility model's water collection tank is installed with an inward slope from the edge, collecting water flow to the inlet filter screen. The water flows through the filter screen to the pressure-type inlet device, which opens under water pressure, allowing water to enter the collection tank. The inclined bottom plate of the collection tank collects water to the outlet, where it flows to the controllable outlet device. The top cover and bottom plate of the water collection tank are connected by supporting columns, effectively supporting the top cover.

[0016] This invention has the following beneficial effects: The arid zone tree water collection and loss reduction cultivation box of this invention can not only collect and store natural rainwater, reducing water loss and improving water use efficiency; at the same time, it can also play a role in warming and conservation, reducing root soil moisture evaporation and increasing soil temperature. Furthermore, the device is easy to move and disassemble, and can be applied to afforestation in sandy and loess areas, as well as urban street trees, in arid and semi-arid regions.

[0026] Example

[0027] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model relates to a water collection and loss reduction maintenance box for trees in arid areas, comprising a water collection tank 1, a pressure-type water inlet device 2, a controllable water outlet device 3, a filter screen 4, and connecting buckles 5. The water collection tank 1 is made of 1cm transparent PVC material, allowing light to pass through the tank and reach the tree roots and soil, while also providing good insulation and preventing evaporation. The top cover 101 of the water collection tank 1 is installed with a 5° inward tilt from the edge, collecting water flow to the filter screen 4 at the inlet 107. The water flows through the filter screen 4 to the pressure-type water inlet device 2. The inlet dimensions are 0.1m long × 0.1m wide. The pressure-type water inlet device 2 opens under water pressure, allowing water to enter the water collection tank 1. The tilted bottom plate 2 of the water collection tank collects water to the outlet 108, which then flows to the controllable water outlet device 3. The outlet 108 dimensions are 0.1m long × 0.1m wide. The top cover 101 and bottom plate 102 of the water collection tank 1 are connected by a sealing cap support column 204. The sealing cap support column 204 is made of 1.5cm thick transparent PVC material and can effectively support the top cover 101.

[0028] The pressure-type water inlet device 2 consists of a horizontal support platform 203 at the bottom, a pressure-type spring cylinder 202 in the middle, and a sealing cap 201 at the top. The horizontal support platform 203 is made of PVC. The horizontal support platform 203 is connected to the water collection tank 1, ensuring that the pressure-type spring cylinder 202 can be evenly stressed. The bottom of the pressure-type spring cylinder 202 is continuous with the horizontal support platform 203, and the top is connected to the bottom cover of the water inlet 107 via the sealing cap support column 204. The sealing cap 201 is equipped with a sealing rubber ring, which completely seals against the water inlet 107 when there is no water pressure, forming a closed space inside the water collection tank 1. When the sealing cap 201 is subjected to a water pressure of ≥20g, a gap will appear, allowing water to flow into the water collection tank 1.

[0029] The adjustable water outlet device consists of a water collection bowl 302, a filter screen 301, a guide pipe 304, and a regulator 303. The top of the water collection bowl 302 is connected to the outlet 107 of the water collection tank 1 via a threaded connection, and the bottom is connected to the guide pipe 304. The water collection bowl 302 is made of PVC, and the guide pipe 304 is a PVC flexible tube with an inner diameter of 0.5cm and an outer diameter of 0.7cm. The filter screen 301 is installed on the top of the water collection bowl 302 via a threaded connection. The end of the guide pipe 304 can be directly inserted into the soil around plant roots. The regulator 303 is installed on the guide pipe 304 and controls the water flow rate. The regulator 303 is controlled by a pulley.

[0030] Filter screens 4 and 301 are made of stainless steel and have a mesh size of 30. The filters prevent debris such as fallen leaves and branches from entering the water collection tank 1 or clogging the inlet 107 and the guide pipe 304.

[0031] The combination buckle 5 can combine the two water collection tanks 1 together.

[0032] One side of the water collection tank 1 has a groove 106 for the location of the tree trunk. The groove 106 is 0.15m in size. By combining the two water collection tanks together using the combination buckle 5, a hole of 0.15m × 0.15m can be formed.

[0033] Application Example 1

[0034] An application embodiment of this utility model is as follows:

[0035] The experimental site is located in the Mu Us Desert in my country, specifically in Yuyang District of Yulin City, on the southeastern edge of the desert. Yuyang District has an arid climate and is prone to sandstorms, requiring significant water resources for urban greening maintenance annually. Water collection and mitigation boxes of the same size as those used for planting street trees were constructed and installed in the tree pits of the planted trees (with a diameter at ground level of 0.08m). (See [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 6The dimensions of the nursery box are: 1.0m long × 1.0m wide × 0.2m high. From March to the end of May 2025, the nursery box for water collection and loss reduction of trees in arid areas, based on this invention, was used for planting trees along urban streets. This effectively increased the temperature and humidity of the root soil at a depth of 30-40cm and saved water resources (see Table 1).

[0037]

[0038] Application Example 2

[0039] Another application embodiment of this utility model is as follows:

[0040] An experiment was conducted in the northern sandy area of ​​Yuyang District, Yulin City, on the southeastern edge of the Mu Us Desert. Large-scale sand control and afforestation are carried out annually in this area; however, the arid and harsh climate and inconvenient transportation in the sandy region cause the survival rate of trees to be highly dependent on rainfall. Nursery boxes with dimensions of 1.0m (length) × 1.0m (width) × 0.2m (height) were constructed during afforestation in the spring of 2025. These boxes were then installed on the Pinus sylvestris seedlings during planting in March 2025. Figure 7 Ten Pinus sylvestris trees, each 1.2m tall, were installed. Monitoring from March to the end of June effectively improved the survival rate of the seedlings and the temperature and humidity of the root soil at a depth of 40-50cm (see Table 2).
