Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of landscape architecture technology, and in particular to a plant root-breathable landscape flower box. Background Technology

[0002] As an indispensable and important facility in urban greening and landscaping projects, garden landscape flower boxes are widely used in various scenarios such as park walkways, square rest areas, and median strips of main and secondary urban roads, thanks to their ingenious use of space and their role in embellishing the landscape. They have become a key element in enhancing the city's appearance and ecological quality.

[0003] Most existing flower boxes adopt an integrated fixed structure design. The box body and the base are often rigidly connected by welding, bolting and other methods. Some flower boxes are also directly fixed to the ground by expansion screws. Some flower boxes are even cast as a whole, without any detachable or movable parts, forming an inseparable whole structure.

[0004] The weight of the fixed structure, including the box itself, the soil, nutrient solution, and the plants, significantly increases the overall load on the flower box. Replacing the soil and plants requires the combined efforts of many people, which not only consumes a lot of manpower but also makes it difficult to flexibly adjust the placement according to the landscape theme of different seasons and the scene arrangement of holidays, greatly limiting the flexibility and update efficiency of landscape design. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the inconvenience of replacing soil and plants, and to propose a plant root-permeable landscape flower box.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] Design a plant root-ventilated landscape flower box, including an outer frame, a door hinged to one side of the outer frame, a guide seat fixedly installed on the bottom inner side of the outer frame, a sliding rod slidably installed above the guide seat, an inner frame fixedly installed at the upper end of the sliding rod, a breathable membrane fixedly installed on the inner side wall surface of the inner frame, a water outlet and a breathable bottom hole opened at the bottom of the inner frame, a breathable waist hole opened on the side wall of the inner frame, and an overflow hole opened on one side of the outer frame.

[0008] Preferably, the water outlet is located at the center of the bottom of the inner frame, and the vent holes are arranged in a circular array around the water outlet.

[0009] Preferably, a filter screen is fixedly installed below the water outlet by bolts.

[0010] Preferably, the breathable membrane is a polytetrafluoroethylene breathable membrane.

[0011] Preferably, a coconut shell fiber mesh is fixedly installed on the bottom inner side of the inner frame, and a layer of ceramsite is laid on the upper surface of the coconut shell fiber mesh.

[0012] Preferably, an observation window is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the outer frame.

[0013] Preferably, a fixing box is fixedly installed on the outer side of the outer frame, a slider is slidably provided inside the fixing box, a connecting rod is fixedly installed on the upper end of the slider, and the upper end of the connecting rod extends to the top of the fixing box and is fixedly installed with a cover plate.

[0014] Preferably, the upper surface of the cover plate protrudes upward from the center.

[0015] This utility model proposes a plant root-permeable landscape flower box, which has the following advantages: During use, the pull-out inner frame design, combined with a sliding rod and guide seat, allows for easy removal of the inner frame, facilitating quick addition and replacement of soil or plants. The breathable membrane on the sides of the inner frame ensures air circulation, providing fresh air for the roots. The bottom perforation and side perforations form multi-angle ventilation channels, significantly improving soil permeability, reducing the risk of soil compaction, and promoting root respiration. The combination of coconut fiber mesh and expanded clay layer at the bottom quickly drains excess water, preventing waterlogging and root rot, while also absorbing some moisture to create a slightly humid environment, maintaining suitable soil humidity. Combining breathability, water drainage, moisture retention, and soil stability, this flower box creates a more suitable growing environment for plant roots, reducing growth problems caused by poor breathability, waterlogging, or soil loss, and promoting healthy plant growth.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Example 1: Refer to Figure 1-4 A plant root-ventilated landscape flower box includes an outer frame 1 with casters at the bottom for easy movement. This allows for flexible placement adjustments based on seasonal landscape themes and holiday scene arrangements, improving the flexibility and efficiency of landscape design. A hinged door 2 is attached to one side of the outer frame 1. A guide seat 3 is fixedly installed on the bottom inner side of the outer frame 1, and a sliding rod 4 slides above the guide seat 3. An inner frame 5 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the sliding rod 4, containing soil on which plants are planted. Moving the inner frame 5 moves the sliding rod 4 along the guide seat 3. Opening the door 2 allows the inner frame 5 to be pulled outwards. Compared to lifting it from above, this horizontal pulling method is more time-saving and labor-saving, facilitating soil replacement for the plants.

[0023] A breathable membrane 6 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall surface of the inner frame 5. The breathable membrane 6 is a polytetrafluoroethylene breathable membrane that only allows gas and water vapor to pass through while blocking soil particles, thus ensuring air circulation and preventing soil erosion. Breathable waist holes 12 are opened on the side wall of the inner frame 5. The breathable waist holes 12 are evenly arranged around the inner frame 5 to allow the soil in the middle of the inner frame 5 to breathe.

[0024] The inner frame 5 has a water outlet 9 and a ventilation hole 11 at its bottom. The ventilation holes 11 are arranged in a circular array around the water outlet 9 and are conical in shape, with the upper end diameter larger than the lower end diameter, reducing soil leakage and improving air convection efficiency. The water outlet 9 is located at the center of the bottom of the inner frame 5. A filter screen 10 is fixedly installed below the water outlet 9 by bolts. The water outlet 9 is mainly used to drain excess water from the inner frame 5 downwards, and the filter screen 10 prevents soil from flowing downwards with the water flow.

[0025] A coconut fiber mesh 8 is fixedly installed on the bottom inner side of the inner frame 5. A layer of expanded clay pebbles 7 is laid on the upper surface of the coconut fiber mesh 8, which is both hydrophobic and breathable, and can absorb moisture to create a slightly humid environment, preventing the roots from directly contacting waterlogged areas. Multiple overflow holes 14 are provided on one side of the outer frame 1, serving both aeration and overflow prevention. An observation window 13 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the outer frame 1, allowing observation of the water level at the bottom of the outer frame 1 for timely watering of the plants.

[0026] Working principle: When using this plant root breathable landscape flower box, open the sealing door 2 and pull the inner frame 5 outward. The sliding rod 4 will then move outward along the guide seat 3. At this time, the inner frame 5 can be removed to add or replace soil and plants. Plants are cultivated in the inner frame 5. The breathable membrane 6 on its side can ensure air circulation. The breathable bottom hole 11 and the breathable waist hole 12 on the side can improve the breathability of the soil. In addition, the coconut fiber mesh 8 and the ceramsite layer 7 set at the bottom can not only be water-repellent and breathable, but also absorb moisture to form a slightly humid environment, while preventing soil loss.

[0027] Example 2: In Example 1, since the landscape flower box is used in a garden, and the outdoor environment is complex and changeable, the ornamental flowers and plants do not have strong wind resistance. In strong winds, the plant roots and stems are easily blown down and broken. Therefore, this example is proposed. (Refer to...) Figure 1-3 In another preferred embodiment of this utility model, based on embodiment 1, a fixing box 15 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the outer frame 1. A slider 16 is slidably provided inside the fixing box 15. A bolt is threadedly connected to one side of the slider 16. After adjusting the height of the slider 16, the position of the slider 16 can be easily fixed by the bolt. A connecting rod 17 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the slider 16. The upper end of the connecting rod 17 extends above the fixing box 15 and is fixedly installed with a cover plate 18. The center of the upper surface of the cover plate 18 protrudes upward, which facilitates the sliding of rainwater.

[0028] In windy weather, move the cover panel 18 downwards so that it covers the outer frame 1. The plants are enclosed between the cover panel 18 and the outer frame 1, preventing damage from strong winds. The internal space of the cover panel 18 can be adjusted according to the specific plant species to ensure that the cover panel 18 does not crush the plants. In addition, if there is intense sunlight, the height of the cover panel 18 can be adjusted to shield the plants and prevent damage from excessively high temperatures.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
