Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of greening and planting technology, and specifically relates to a greening and planting mechanism for large-area roof greening. Background Technology
[0002] In modern urban construction, rooftop greening has received increasing attention and application as a method that combines ecological benefits and aesthetic value. Currently, most rooftop greening projects involve setting up concrete base enclosure components on the roof to support the planting soil, thereby achieving the main planting of green plants. However, this traditional planting method has obvious drawbacks. Its structure is relatively fixed, and once the planting is completed, it is difficult to flexibly move the planting position according to actual needs. Moreover, the transplanting process is complicated and inconvenient, causing many problems for users.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, Chinese Patent No. CN208079970U discloses a greening planting mechanism for large-area rooftop greening. This mechanism comprises multiple positioning bases connected by positioning components to form the greening planting base. A limiting component consisting of the limiting base and connecting components is installed in a limiting chamber on the surface of the positioning base. A positioning groove is formed inside the limiting base to place the main body of the green plant. The limiting base separates the main body of the green plant from the planting soil, facilitating transplanting. At the same time, the positioning and locking protrusions are fixed in place by the positioning components and bolts, which improves the structural stability and makes it easy to assemble, disassemble, and use.
[0004] While the device improves the convenience of rooftop greening to some extent, it still has shortcomings in practical application. Because it is installed on the roof, in the hot summer, high temperatures and direct sunlight can easily cause the moisture inside the device to evaporate quickly, leading to drought and the death of the planted vegetation. Manual watering is cumbersome and inefficient for rooftop greening and cannot meet the actual needs. Therefore, it is clear that there is still room for improvement in the existing rooftop greening technology, and there is an urgent need to develop a more advanced planting device to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a greening planter for large-area roof greening, so as to solve the problem of lack of automatic water replenishment function during the application of the existing technology.
[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] A greening planter for large-area rooftop greening includes a frame. A rainwater collection mechanism is located at the lower end of the frame. A partition is fixedly installed at the top of the frame. Lower drainage holes are evenly spaced on the outer side of the partition. A planting frame is fixedly connected to the top of the partition.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the spraying mechanism also includes a humidity sensor, which is fixedly installed on one side inside the planting trough.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution, a filter screen is fixedly connected to the input end of the connecting hose, and the filter screen is disposed inside the rainwater collection mechanism.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution, mounting plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the top rear side of the frame, a support rod is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate, and a photovoltaic panel is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the photovoltaic panel is inclined downwards towards the frame, and the outer corners of the frame are all rounded.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the rainwater collection mechanism includes a trough, which is located at the lower end of a frame. The top of the trough is connected to the output end of the lower drain hole. A collection drawer is slidably connected inside the trough. A filter screen is disposed inside the collection drawer. A covering frame is fixedly connected to the front of the collection drawer. The covering frame covers the outside of the trough. Both sides of the covering frame are threadedly connected to mounting screws. The ends of the mounting screws pass through the covering frame and are threadedly connected to the frame.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] Example
[0024] refer to Figures 1 to 4This embodiment of a large-area roof greening planting mechanism includes a frame 1. The lower end of the frame 1 is provided with a rainwater collection mechanism 2. A partition 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the frame 1. The partition 3 has equally spaced lower drainage holes 4 on its outer side. A planting frame 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the partition 3. A planting trough 6 is opened in the middle of the bottom of the planting frame 5. The lower end of the planting frame 5 has equally spaced upper drainage holes 7 arranged in a ring. A spraying mechanism 8 is fixedly installed on the upper back of the frame 1. A housing 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper back of the frame 1. A control module and a battery are provided on the back of the housing 9.
[0025] The sprinkler mechanism 8 includes a water pump 81, which is fixedly installed on the upper back of the frame 1. A connecting pipe 82 is fixedly connected to the input end of the water pump 81, and a connecting hose 83 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting pipe 82 through the frame 1. A sprinkler pipe frame 84 is fixedly installed at the output end of the water pump 81, and sprinkler nozzles 85 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the inner output end of the sprinkler pipe frame 84. During the application of this planting mechanism, rainwater collection and irrigation are achieved through the coordinated operation of its components. When it rains, rainwater falls on the top of the planting frame 5, and a portion is retained in the planting trough 6 for direct absorption by the plants. Excess rainwater flows out through the upper drainage hole 7 at the bottom of the planting frame 5, and then through the lower drainage hole 4 on the outside of the partition 3, into the rainwater collection mechanism 2 at the bottom of the frame 1 for storage. When the soil moisture in the planting trough 6 decreases, the control module receives the signal from the humidity sensor 87 and starts the battery-powered water pump 81 in the chassis 9. The water pump 81 draws rainwater from the collection mechanism through the connecting hose 83, and delivers it to the sprinkler frame 84 through the connecting pipe 82. Finally, the sprinkler head 85 provides precise irrigation for the green plants, forming a complete cycle of rainwater collection, storage, and intelligent irrigation.
[0026] refer to Figures 1-4The spraying mechanism 8 also includes a humidity sensor 87, which is fixedly installed on one side inside the planting trough 6. A filter screen 86 is fixedly connected to the input end of the connecting hose 83. The filter screen 86 is located inside the rainwater collection mechanism 2. Mounting plates 10 are fixedly connected to both ends of the top rear side of the frame 1. A support rod 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 10. A photovoltaic panel 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod 11. The photovoltaic panel 12 is inclined downwards towards the frame 1. The outer corners of the frame 1 are all rounded. The inclined photovoltaic panel 12 can improve the sunlight effect and its light energy conversion efficiency. It can also guide rainwater to quickly enter the interior of the frame 1. In this planting mechanism, all components work together. The humidity sensor 87 is fixedly installed on one side inside the planting trough 6 to monitor the soil moisture in real time. When the detected humidity is lower than the set value, it transmits a signal to the control module, which then starts the spraying. The water pump 81 in mechanism 8 performs irrigation operations. The filter screen 86 connected to the input end of the hose 83 is set inside the rainwater collection mechanism 2, which can effectively filter impurities such as leaves and dust mixed in the rainwater during the collection process, ensuring the cleanliness of the water source entering the water pump 81 and the irrigation system, and avoiding nozzle clogging. The mounting plates 10, support rods 11 and photovoltaic panels 12 at the top rear ends of the frame 1 form a power generation and rainwater guiding structure. The photovoltaic panels 12 are tilted downwards towards the frame 1, which can maximize the reception of sunlight and improve the light energy conversion efficiency, converting solar energy into electrical energy and storing it in the battery in the chassis 9 to power the water pump 81, control module and other equipment. On the other hand, the tilted surface of the panel allows the rainwater falling on it to flow smoothly towards the frame 1, and enter the rainwater collection mechanism 2 through the upper drain hole 7 and the lower drain hole 4, realizing efficient rainwater collection. The rounded corner design of the frame 1 can reduce collision damage during handling and movement, while reducing wind resistance and making the overall structure more stable.
[0027] refer to Figure 4The rainwater collection mechanism 2 includes a trough 21, which is located at the lower end of the frame 1. The top of the trough 21 is connected to the output end of the lower drain hole 4. A collection drawer 22 is slidably connected inside the trough 21. A filter screen 86 is installed inside the collection drawer 22. A covering frame 23 is fixedly connected to the front of the collection drawer 22, covering the outside of the trough 21. Both sides of the covering frame 23 are threadedly connected to mounting screws 24, with the ends of the mounting screws 24 penetrating through... The covering frame 23 and the frame body 1 are threaded together. A bridge-type handrail 25 is fixedly connected to the outside of the covering frame 23. Universal ball joints 13 are rotatably connected to the four corners at the bottom of the frame body 1. Fixed plates 14 are fixedly connected to both sides and the front and rear ends of the frame body 1. Anti-slip screws 15 are threaded onto the fixed plates 14. The ends of the anti-slip screws 15 penetrate the fixed plates 14. The anti-slip screws 15 and the mounting screws 24 are hand-tightened screws. In this planting mechanism, rainwater collection and equipment movement maintenance functions are included. The system works in close coordination. During rainfall, rainwater flows through the upper and lower drain holes 4 into the lower trough 21 inside the frame 1. The trough 21 is connected to the lower drain hole 4, providing a channel for rainwater flow. The collection drawer 22 is slidably connected inside the trough 21 to collect and store rainwater. The filter screen 86 inside the drawer simultaneously filters and purifies the rainwater. When the collection drawer 22 needs to be cleaned or repaired, the operator can easily pull it out by hand-tightening the installation screw 24 to remove the covering frame 23 from the frame 1. When moving the equipment, the universal ball joints 13 at the four corners of the bottom of the frame 1 can rotate 360 degrees flexibly to facilitate easy relocation. After reaching the designated position, the anti-slip screw 15 is hand-tightened so that its end is pressed against the roof. In conjunction with the universal ball joint 13, the equipment is stabilized with the assistance of the fixing plate 14. The installation screw 24 and the anti-slip screw 15 adopt a hand-tightening design, which does not require additional tools and is convenient and quick to operate, ensuring the efficiency and convenience of rainwater harvesting system maintenance and equipment position adjustment.
[0028] Operating Principle and Advantages: During the application of this device, in terms of rainwater collection and automatic irrigation, this technical solution, through the rainwater collection mechanism 2, can achieve efficient utilization of rainwater and intelligent irrigation. The frame at the top of the frame 1 in the planting mechanism is provided with an upper drainage hole 7, and the partition 3 is provided with a lower drainage hole 4. When it rains, rainwater falls onto the partition 3 at the top of the frame 1. At this time, a certain amount of rainwater can be stored inside the planting trough 6. Excess rainwater can be guided out of the planting frame 5 through the upper drainage hole 7, and then flow into the trough 21 at the lower end of the frame 1 through the lower drainage hole 4. Finally, it enters the collection drawer 22 that is slidably connected in the trough 21, completing the rainwater collection process. The filter screen 86 inside the collection drawer 22 can effectively filter the rainwater. Impurities in rainwater are removed to ensure clean water sources. Meanwhile, a humidity sensor 87 installed in the planting trough 6 monitors soil moisture in real time. When the soil moisture is detected to be lower than the set threshold, the control module will start the water pump 81. The water pump 81 draws rainwater from the collection drawer 22 through the connecting hose 83 and uses the sprinkler frame 84 and sprinkler head 85 to precisely irrigate the green plants inside the planting trough 6 in the planting frame 5. This design not only makes full use of rainwater resources and reduces dependence on external water sources, thus reducing operating costs, but also achieves automatic irrigation without the need for frequent manual watering, improving irrigation efficiency and effectively avoiding the problem of green plants dying due to insufficient water, providing a stable water guarantee for the growth of rooftop green plants.
[0029] During application, this device facilitates quick and easy maintenance and flexible adjustment. The universal ball joints 13, connected to the four corners at the bottom of the frame 1, allow the entire planting mechanism to move easily on the roof. Whether adjusting the layout of the plants or performing other roof work, movement can be completed quickly and conveniently. Simultaneously, the anti-slip screws 15 on the fixing plate 14 can be tightened after reaching the designated position, ensuring tight contact with the roof and preventing the planting mechanism from sliding freely, thus ensuring its stability. For the maintenance of the rainwater collection mechanism 2, the collection drawer 22 uses a sliding connection. When cleaning or maintenance is needed, operators only need to unscrew the mounting screws 24 on both sides of the covering frame 23 to easily pull out the collection drawer 22 for cleaning, replacing the filter screen 86, etc. This design greatly simplifies the maintenance process, reduces maintenance difficulty, and saves manpower and time costs, making daily maintenance of the rooftop green plant planting mechanism easier and more efficient, effectively extending the equipment's service life and improving the overall user experience.
