The overflow net divides the main body into a lower drainage and water storage chamber and an upper mud and sand chamber. The mud and sand chamber contains, from bottom to top, a pebble layer, a rock wool layer, a geotextile layer, and a planting soil layer. This invention breaks away from the limitations of traditional flower box structures, as the design of the rock wool and pebble layers achieves a sponge-like structure, providing better water storage and filtration functions.
[0004] The existing technology has at least the following problems in its use:
[0005] During long-term use of the flower box, water flow will carry sediment into the water storage tank through the connecting pipe. Over time, the accumulation of sediment will reduce the flower box's water storage capacity. Utility Model Content

[0024] according to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a flower box with adaptive adjustment function, including: a box body 100, a first water tank 102, a second water tank 104, a filter assembly 200, and an adjustment assembly. The box body 100 has a first accommodating space 101; the first water tank 102 is installed on the box body 100, has a water inlet 103 with a controllable switch, and is connected to the first accommodating space 101 through a first connecting part; the second water tank 104 is installed at the bottom of the box body 100, is connected to the first accommodating space 101, and has an overflow hole; the filter assembly 200 is disposed between the first accommodating space 101 and the second water tank 104; the adjustment assembly is installed on the box body 100, has a monitoring part 301 and an adjustment part 302, the monitoring part 301 is disposed inside the second water tank 104, the adjustment part 302 is disposed at the water inlet 103, and the monitoring part 301 and the adjustment part 302 are communicatively connected.
[0025] In this embodiment, the first water tank 102 is located on the top of the box body 100 and is fixed to the top periphery of the box body 100 by a limiting bracket. Water is evenly supplied to the first water tank 102 by providing an inward opening. The first accommodating space 101 is used to accommodate soil. A filter assembly 200, including multiple layers of filter media, is provided between the box body 100 and the second water tank 104 to block mud and sand particles in the first accommodating space 101. An adjustment assembly is provided to monitor and control the water in the two water tanks separately, thereby achieving adaptive adjustment of the interior of the flower box.
[0026] according to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the regulating unit 302 is used to control the start and stop of the water inlet 103, and the monitoring unit 301 is used to detect the liquid level information in the second water tank 104. The monitoring unit 301 is equipped with a timer. With a preset time threshold T, when the monitoring unit 301 detects a liquid level signal lower than the preset liquid level in the second water tank 104, it starts timing to obtain t1. When t1 equals T, the monitoring unit 301 controls the regulating unit 302 to replenish water to the first water tank 102.
[0027] In this embodiment, the time threshold T is set according to the growth stage of the plant and the specific planting conditions. A suitable T value is set accordingly. In particular, the drought resistance of the plant can also be referenced to set a suitable T value. The monitoring unit 301 uses a floating liquid level sensor and a piezoelectric sensor to control the liquid level information stored in the second water tank 104. A microcontroller is used to convert the collected information. The adjustment unit 302 can be a solenoid valve, which converts the electrical signal of the liquid level information into the electrical signal for opening and closing the solenoid valve.
[0028] During use, different preset control thresholds for liquid level height h are set for different plants. This liquid level height h is a range value. After the control and adjustment unit 302 is closed, the liquid entering the entire device will continue to flow slowly into the second water tank 104, eventually being controlled and stabilized within the range h. When the liquid level in the second water tank 104 is lower than the minimum set value, a timer is started. Within the time threshold T, after replenishment through rainwater or other means, the liquid level information in the second water tank 104 changes, and the timer resets to zero. When the liquid level in the second water tank 104 is lower than the minimum set value, a timer is started. When t1 is greater than or equal to the time threshold T, the monitoring unit 301 sends a signal collected by the sensor. The control center, using a microcontroller as an example, processes the collected signal and outputs an electrical signal to control the adjustment unit 302 to control the water inlet 103, initiating water replenishment.
[0029] according to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, it further includes: a plurality of water storage racks 105. The water storage racks 105 are stacked on top of each other, and a water storage tank 106 is provided on the water storage rack 105. The plurality of water storage racks 105 are stacked on top of each other to form a plurality of water storage tanks 106, and a first interlayer 107 is provided inside the water storage rack 105.
[0030] In this embodiment, the water storage rack 105 forms multiple water storage tanks 106 at the bottom of the first accommodating space 101 to perform preliminary sedimentation of mud and sand, and to perform preliminary sedimentation of the liquid in the first accommodating space 101, so as to prevent the added water flow rate from being too high and causing a large amount of mud and sand to enter the second water tank 104.
[0031] according to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the filter assembly 200 includes: a first filter section 201, a second filter section 202, and a third filter section 203. A water outlet 108 is provided on the first water tank 102. One end of the first filter section 201 is disposed within the water outlet 108, and the other end of the first filter section 201 is embedded within the first receiving space 101. The second filter section 202 is disposed within a first interlayer 107, and filter holes are provided on both sides of the first interlayer 107. A water suction groove 109 is provided on the second water tank 104, and one end of the third filter section 203 is disposed on the water suction groove 109, and the other end is embedded within the first receiving space 101.
[0032] In this embodiment, the first filter section 201 is a cotton rope with fine pores, used to guide the liquid in the first water tank 102 into the soil in the first containment space 101, preventing the soil from being impacted by the water flow and causing mud and sand to splash; the second filter section 202 is filter cotton, which is set in the first interlayer 107 to further filter the liquid that has been deposited in the first containment space 101 and guide it into the second water tank 104, basically preventing mud and sand from entering the second water tank 104 and thus ensuring the water storage capacity of the second water tank 104; the third filter section 203 is filter cotton, used to guide the liquid in the second water tank 104 back into the first containment space 101.
[0033] according to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, it further includes: an insulation layer 1010 and a conical sleeve 1012. A second interlayer 1011 is provided on the housing 100, and the insulation layer 1010 is disposed in the second interlayer 1011; one end of the conical sleeve 1012 is disposed on the water absorption groove 109, and the other end extends into the first receiving space 101. The conical sleeve 1012 has a water absorption channel, and a third filter section 203 is disposed in the water absorption channel.
[0034] In this embodiment, the insulation layer 1010 is heat insulation cotton, which is set in the second interlayer 1011 to provide heat insulation protection for the space inside the box 100 and prevent sudden temperature changes; the tapered sleeve 1012 is slightly larger at the bottom and gradually narrows towards the top, thereby enhancing the guidance of liquid.
[0035] according to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the water storage tank 106 is provided with an inclined surface, and the filter holes have a height difference from the bottom of the water storage tank 106.
[0036] In this embodiment, the height difference ensures that the liquid in the water storage tank 106 can only enter the second water tank 104 after sedimentation through a filter hole of a certain height, thereby increasing the sedimentation time and ensuring the efficiency of blocking sediment.
[0037] In summary, the monitoring unit 301, the adjustment unit 302, and the time threshold of the timer enable dynamic capture and response to the plant's water demand; multi-stage filtration and inclined plane-assisted sedimentation reduce mud and sand splashing and improve mud and sand barrier, thereby increasing the water storage capacity and lifespan of the second water tank 104; and the water replenishment of the first water tank 102 and the water storage of the second water tank 104, along with the auxiliary water circulation structure, combined with liquid level control and time threshold control, improve adaptability to various usage scenarios.
[0038] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope described in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
