Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of balcony railing structures, and in particular to a railing structure and building for balcony planting. Background Technology
[0002] Balcony gardening is a method of plant cultivation that utilizes the space of a residential balcony, a microcosm of urban agriculture. It transforms a limited balcony area into a small growing area, capable of cultivating various plants such as vegetables, flowers, and herbs. The planting methods are flexible, using containers such as flowerpots, planting boxes, and hanging racks, along with nutrient-rich soil and organic fertilizers. Light, water, and temperature are artificially controlled to meet the plant's growth needs. This method not only provides fresh ingredients and beautifies the environment but also relieves stress, becoming a convenient way for modern urban dwellers to connect with nature, combining practicality and leisure value.
[0003] Current balcony planting methods mostly rely on flat flooring, placing flower pots and planting boxes directly on the ground. This method is significantly encroaching on space. The already limited balcony area is greatly encroached upon, narrowing passageways and significantly restricting daily functions such as drying clothes and storing miscellaneous items. Furthermore, this planting method lacks systematic planning; containers of different sizes and materials are scattered haphazardly, and plants of varying heights are arranged disorderly, resulting in a cluttered and disorganized balcony layout, reducing visual comfort and overall aesthetics.
[0004] Currently, no effective solution has been proposed to address the problems of ground planting taking up space and being messy and unsightly in related technologies. Utility Model Content

[0177] The method of using this utility model is as follows:
[0178] (I) Installation work (taking the installation of two support units 120 and one placement unit 140 as an example)
[0179] Placement unit 140 is placed between two support units 120 (two second support elements 122) so that a second docking element 142 provided in placement unit 140 is connected to a first docking element 123 provided in a second support element 122, and another second docking element 142 provided in placement unit 140 is connected to a first docking element 123 provided in another second support element 122.
[0180] A second support element 122 is passed through the corresponding through slot element 114, and a second snap-fit element 121 provided on the second support element 122 is snapped into the corresponding first snap-fit element 115.
[0181] Another second support element 122 is passed through the corresponding through slot element 114, and the second snap-fit element 121 of the other second support element 122 is snapped into the corresponding first snap-fit element 115;
[0182] A locking element 131 is placed in the corresponding through slot element 114 and the first snap-fit element 115, and the locking element 131 is made to contact the top end of a second support element 122 and the top end of the second snap-fit element 121 provided on the second support element 122, so that the first rotating element 132 provided on the locking element 131 is aligned with the corresponding connecting element 116 (coaxial).
[0183] Insert the hex wrench into the groove element 136 and twist the hex wrench so that it drives the second rotating element 134 to rotate along the circumference of the first rotating element 132 and move along the axial direction of the first rotating element 132 towards the corresponding connecting element 116, so that the second rotating element 134 is threadedly connected to the corresponding connecting element 116 until it is twisted.
[0184] During the process, the second rotating element 134 drives the second limiting element 135 to move correspondingly inside the first limiting element 133 until the end of the second limiting element 135 (the end near the corresponding connecting element 116) abuts against the end of the first limiting element 133 (the end near the corresponding connecting element 116).
[0185] Finally, a locking element 131 is fixed in the corresponding through slot element 114 and the first snap-fit element 115, and the locking element 131 is made to contact the top end of a second support element 122 and the top end of the second snap-fit element 121 provided on the second support element 122 respectively.
[0186] The installation method of the other locking element 131 is basically the same as that of the first locking element 131, and will not be described again here. Finally, the other locking element 131 is fixed in the corresponding through slot element 114 and the first snap-fit element 115, and the other locking element 131 is in contact with the top end of the other second support element 122 and the top end of the second snap-fit element 121 provided on the other second support element 122.
[0187] (2) Place potted plants for 300
[0188] Place the potted plant 300 on top of the corresponding placement element 141 (see reference). Figure 8 (As shown).
[0189] The advantages of this invention lie in the fact that the coordinated use of the guardrail unit, support unit, locking unit, placement unit, and railing unit allows the support unit to be fixed to the guardrail unit via the locking unit, and the placement unit to be erected in the vertical space of the guardrail unit, thus suspending the potted plants off the ground. Furthermore, multiple support and placement units are provided; the support units can be arranged horizontally or vertically along the guardrail unit, and the placement units are distributed in layers, allowing for adjustments to their positions according to the plant's growth needs and specifications. This ensures orderly plant arrangement, improves spatial coordination, increases planting capacity without occupying ground space, preserves ground area for activity, and meets planting requirements.
