The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0026] See Figure 1 The planting device 10 includes a cup body 110 and a planting body 120. The cup body 110 has a side wall and a bottom wall 112. The side wall 111 and the bottom wall 112 enclose a water storage cavity 113. The water storage cavity 113 has an opening 1131. The side wall 111 has an inner wall surface 1111 located inside the water storage cavity 113 and an outer wall surface 1112 located outside the water storage cavity 113.

[0027] The cup body 110 is at least partially embedded within the implant 120. The implant 120 has an absorbent portion 121 located within a water storage cavity 113 and an implantation portion 122 located outside the water storage cavity 113. The absorbent portion 121 adheres to the inner wall surface 1111 and extends to the bottom wall 112 of the cup, while the implantation portion 122 adheres to the outer wall surface 1112. A connecting portion 123 is formed between the absorbent portion 121 and the implantation portion 122, connecting them through the connecting portion 123. The implant 120 is made of a material with internal capillary channels. For example, the implant 120 can be made of materials such as sponge, diatomaceous earth, or coconut coir. Specifically, during the manufacturing process, the cup body 110 can be manufactured first, and then the material with internal capillary channels can be attached to the cup body 110 to form the implant device 10. Of course, the cup body 110 can also be embedded within the implant 120 in other ways.

[0028] During use, the plant to be planted is first tied to the planting section 122 of the planting body 120. Then, liquids such as water and nutrients are poured into the water storage chamber 113 through the opening 1131. Understandably, since the planting body 120 is made of a material with internal capillary channels, the liquid can overcome gravity through capillary action, rising along the absorbent section 121 and entering the planting section 122 through the connecting section 123, thus moistening the planting section 122. The plant can then obtain water through the moistened planting section 122. When the planting section 122 is not sufficiently moist, the liquid will repeat the above process under capillary action, i.e., the liquid re-enters the planting section 122, thereby maintaining a moist environment for the plant for a long time.

[0029] The planting device 10 of this utility model is simple to operate and can eliminate the need for frequent watering. Users do not need to worry about their plants withering due to lack of water or insufficient moisture. They only need to check the water level in the water storage chamber 113 periodically. When the water level in the water storage chamber 113 is low or the liquid is depleted, water, nutrients and other liquids can be poured into the water storage chamber 113 through the opening 1131. This greatly saves users' time and effort and improves the user experience.

[0030] See Figure 2 The cup body 110 has an outer edge 114 at its opening 1131 that connects to the side wall 111. The outer edge 114 extends away from the water storage cavity 113, and the joint 123 and the planting part 122 are respectively attached to both sides of the outer edge 114. This strengthens the connection between the implant 120 and the cup body 110. When the planting device 10 is picked up, the joint 123 positions and locks the outer edge 114, thereby locking the cup body 110 and preventing the implant 120 and the cup body 110 from easily separating during the movement of the planting device 10.

[0031] See Figure 3The implant 120 has a support portion 124, which connects to the implant portion 122 at the end of the implant portion 122 away from the joint portion 123. The support portion 124 is attached to the bottom wall 112 of the cup. In this way, when the implantation device 10 is picked up, the support portion 124 can support the cup body 110, thereby avoiding the problem of the implant 120 and the cup body 110 easily separating during the movement of the implantation device 10. At the same time, the support portion 124 can protect the bottom wall 112 of the cup, preventing damage to the bottom wall 112 caused by bumping or knocking.

[0032] Further, see Figure 2 The support part 124 has a bottom hole 1241 that passes through the support part 124, and the center line of the bottom hole 1241 coincides with the center line of the cup body 110, which facilitates demolding.

[0033] See Figure 6 The implant device 10 includes a receiving member 140. Understandably, when the implant 120 has a support portion 124 or the implant portion 122 extends to the bottom wall 112 of the cup body 110, directly placing the implant 120 on a table or other platform may cause it to become wet or soiled. Placing the implant 120 on the receiving member 140 effectively avoids this. The receiving member 140 has a receiving cavity 141, within which the implant 120 is received. Specifically, the receiving member 140 can be a receiving tray, receiving cylinder, etc. This not only prevents the implant 120 from becoming wet or soiled but also provides positioning for the implant 120. Of course, the receiving member 140 can also be constructed as a flat plate. Understandably, when a user wants to move the planting device 10, they will inevitably touch the planting part 122. Since the planting part 122 is usually wet, it is not easy to hold and will stick to or soil the user's hands. After placing the implant 120 on the receiving part 140, the planting device 10 can be moved simply by moving the receiving part 140. The user does not need to touch the implant 120, which makes it easier for the user to move the planting device 10 and improves the user experience.

[0034] See Figure 4 The projection of the cup side wall 111 onto the horizontal plane is located outside the projection of the cup bottom wall 112 onto the horizontal plane. The cup body 110 is trumpet-shaped (i.e., larger at the top and smaller at the bottom); the implant 120 is frustum-shaped (i.e., smaller at the top and larger at the bottom). Understandably, the volume of the implant 120 can be larger, resulting in more liquid inside the implant 120. The implant 120 can remain moist for a longer period without frequent watering. The outer surface area of ​​the implant 120 can also be larger, allowing for more plants to be planted on it. At the same time, the opening 1131 is larger, making it easier for the user to pour liquid into the water storage chamber 113 through the opening 1131.

[0035] See Figure 5 The water storage cavity 113 is equipped with a strainer 130, the outer edge of which abuts against the inner side of the liquid absorption section 121. The strainer 130 may have small holes that allow liquid to pass through but prevent plant growth. Understandably, after a plant is planted in the planting section 122, over time, the plant's roots will extend towards a more moist and nutrient-rich direction (i.e., into the water storage cavity 113) to obtain more water and nutrients. Specifically, the strainer 130 can be positioned at the opening 1131, thus effectively preventing plants from entering the water storage cavity 113. The strainer 130 can also be positioned between the opening 1131 and the cup side wall 111, thus allowing some plants to enter the water storage cavity 113. Understandably, the user can adjust the position of the strainer 130 according to actual needs.

[0036] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
