[0001] This utility model relates to the field of landscape engineering technology, specifically to a planting trough structure with water retention function for landscape engineering. Background Technology

[0002] The authorized announcement number CN220827970U discloses a rooftop planting structure with water retention and soil stabilization functions, which includes a vegetation layer, a substrate layer, a drainage layer, a protective layer, a slope-finding layer, and an insulation layer arranged sequentially from top to bottom on the roof structure; the drainage layer is located above the protective layer to drain water and protect the protective layer; the substrate layer includes several geocells connected together and artificial planting soil placed in the geocells; the vegetation layer is located on the substrate layer.

[0003] By arranging several geocells in sequence and filling them with artificial planting soil mixed with superabsorbent resin particles, the stability of the planting structure is improved, water loss is effectively mitigated, and the overall stability of the planting structure is enhanced, the workload of workers is reduced, and the corrosion of the roof is reduced.

[0004] Although the technical solution in the prior art uses superabsorbent resin to achieve water retention, it cannot simultaneously address both water retention and the need to release excess water. Excessive water retention can lead to the rotting of plant roots and stems in the soil. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a planting trough structure with water retention function for landscape engineering, which solves the problem of being unable to simultaneously retain water and release excess water, and the problem that excessive water retention can lead to the rot of plant roots and stems in the soil.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a planting trough structure with water retention function for landscape engineering, including a planting trough, with several through holes on both sides of the planting trough, a water storage component placed at the bottom of the planting trough, and a partition component fixedly connected to its inner wall in an axially symmetrical manner, with a soil layer and a green plant layer arranged sequentially on the top surface of the partition component.

[0007] The water storage component includes a sponge block placed at the bottom of the planting trough and several flow-guiding sponges fixedly connected to both sides of the sponge block. The flow-guiding sponges extend through the through holes to the outside of the planting trough.

[0008] The partition assembly includes two axially symmetrical inclined plates fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the planting trough and a partition mesh fixedly connected between the two inclined plates.

[0009] In one specific embodiment, the sponge block of the water storage component forms a water storage body at the bottom of the planting trough, and the flow guiding sponge extends from the side of the sponge block and is exposed through the through hole.

[0010] In one specific embodiment, the two inclined plates of the separating component are symmetrically arranged on the inner sidewall of the planting trough, and the separating net is horizontally fixed between the two inclined plates to form a supporting layer.

[0011] In one specific embodiment, the flow-guiding sponge is integrally connected with the sponge block and is directed outward along the through hole of the planting groove.

[0012] In one specific embodiment, the separating net is located below the soil layer and flush with the top of the inclined plate.

[0013] In one specific embodiment, the sponge block of the water storage component is located directly below the separator net and the two do not contact each other. One end of the flow guiding sponge is fixedly connected to the side of the sponge block and extends to the outside through the through hole of the planting trough. The separator net is horizontally set between two inclined plates and its top surface directly supports the soil layer.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a planting trough structure with water retention function for landscape engineering, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] In the technical solution disclosed in this utility model, water storage and drought prevention are achieved by using sponge blocks, drainage sponges with through-holes to discharge excess rainwater and prevent flooding, and a separating net to support the soil layer and form an evaporation and water conveyance channel with the sponge blocks, thereby achieving coordinated control of water conservation and flood drainage.

[0016] The water storage component absorbs water infiltrating through the dividing net to achieve water storage and drought prevention. Simultaneously, the integrated flow-guiding sponge, connected to the sponge block, penetrates the exposed holes in the planting trough, actively diverting excess water out of the trough during heavy rainfall, completely solving the problem of waterlogging in the soil layer leading to root rot in the vegetation. The dividing net is horizontally fixed between two inclined plates, with its top surface directly supporting the soil layer. The sponge block is located directly below the dividing net, with the two not in contact, forming a continuous water replenishment channel where vaporized water from the water stored in the sponge block permeates upwards through the dividing net to the soil layer. The inclined plates, positioned at an angle on the inner wall of the planting trough, guide the water flow to converge and infiltrate. The straight flow-guiding sponge penetrating the holes ensures efficient drainage, and the dividing net fully covering the soil layer ensures uniform water vapor diffusion. This achieves an active regulation mechanism for flood prevention during heavy rain and water replenishment through drought evaporation. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The following will describe in detail the implementation of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the implementation process of how this application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.

[0024] Figures 1-4 As an embodiment of the present invention, a planting trough structure with water retention function for landscape engineering includes a planting trough 1. Several through holes are opened on both sides of the planting trough 1. A water storage component 2 is placed at the bottom of the planting trough 1. A partition component 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the planting trough 1 in an axially symmetrical manner. A soil layer 4 and a green plant layer 5 are arranged sequentially on the top surface of the partition component 3.

[0025] The specific problem addressed in this embodiment is the inability to simultaneously balance water retention and the need to release excess water, as excessive water storage can lead to root and stem rot in the soil. This invention utilizes sponge blocks 21 for water retention and drought prevention, and drainage sponges 22 with through-holes to drain excess rainwater and prevent flooding. A separating net 32 ​​supports the soil layer 4 and forms an evaporation and water transport channel with the sponge blocks 21, achieving coordinated control of water retention and flood drainage.

[0026] The water storage component 2 includes a sponge block 21 placed at the bottom of the planting trough 1 and several flow-guiding sponges 22 fixedly connected to both sides of the sponge block 21. The flow-guiding sponges 22 extend through the through holes to the outside of the planting trough 1. The partition component 3 includes two axially symmetrical inclined plates 31 fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the planting trough 1 and a partition net 32 ​​fixedly connected between the two inclined plates 31. In this specific embodiment, the sponge block 21 of the water storage component 2 is located directly below the partition net 32 ​​and the two do not contact each other. One end of the flow-guiding sponge 22 is fixedly connected to the side of the sponge block 21 and extends to the outside through the through holes of the planting trough 1. The partition net 32 ​​is horizontally set between the two inclined plates 31 and its top surface directly supports the soil layer 4. The water storage component 2 uses sponge blocks 21 to absorb water infiltrated by the dividing net 32, achieving water storage and drought prevention. Simultaneously, the flow-guiding sponge 22, integrated with the sponge blocks 21 and exposed through the holes in the planting trough 1, actively guides excess water out of the trough during heavy rainfall, completely solving the problem of water accumulation in the soil layer 4 leading to root and stem rot in the green plant layer 5. The dividing net 32 ​​is horizontally fixed between two inclined plates 31, with its top surface directly supporting the soil layer 4. The sponge blocks 21 are located directly below the dividing net 32, with the two not in contact, forming a continuous water replenishment channel where vaporized water from the water stored in the sponge blocks 21 permeates upwards through the dividing net 32 ​​to the soil layer 4. The inclined plates 31, tilted and set on the inner wall of the planting trough 1, guide the water flow to converge and infiltrate. The straight flow-guiding sponge 22 through the holes ensures efficient drainage. The soil layer 4 is fully covered by the dividing net 32, ensuring uniform water vapor diffusion. This achieves an active regulation mechanism for flood prevention during heavy rain and water replenishment through drought evaporation.

[0027] In this specific embodiment, the flow-guiding sponge 22 is integrally connected with the sponge block 21 and is discharged outward along the through hole of the planting trough 1; the flow-guiding sponge 22 and the sponge block 21 adopt an integral seamless connection structure, and the flow-guiding sponge 22 extends directly from the side of the sponge block 21 and extends straight through the through holes on both sides of the planting trough 1 to the outside; this embodiment reduces the risk of structural detachment by eliminating seams, and at the same time, the straight through design ensures that rainwater is efficiently discharged along the capillary channel of the flow-guiding sponge 22, avoiding water accumulation in the trough caused by blockage of traditional drainage pipes, and effectively preventing the root and stem rot of the green plant layer 5 caused by long-term waterlogging of the soil layer 4.

[0028] In this specific embodiment, the separator 32 is located below the soil layer 4 and is flush with the top of the inclined plate 31; the separator 32 is horizontally fixed to the top of the two inclined plates 31 and the mesh surface is flush with the top edge of the inclined plate 31. The mesh size of the separator 32 is smaller than the soil particle size, and its top surface directly supports the soil layer 4 and completely covers the area above the separator component 3. This embodiment, through its flush fixing and full coverage design, not only prevents the soil layer 4 from leaking down, but also ensures that water seeps down to the sponge block 21 through the mesh, while maintaining the unobstructed channel for evaporating water vapor to rise through the mesh to replenish the soil layer 4, thus achieving a dynamic balance between water retention and air permeability. Compared with the traditional geocell structure, this significantly improves the efficiency of soil and water conservation.

[0029] Working principle: Rainwater infiltrates through the green plant layer 5 and soil layer 4, then enters the bottom of the planting trough 1 through the partition net 32 ​​of the partition component 3, where it is absorbed and stored by the sponge block 21 of the water storage component 2. When the rainfall is too heavy, excess water is discharged straight out of the trough through the through hole of the planting trough 1 by the guide sponge 22 integrated on the side of the sponge block 21, preventing water accumulation in the soil layer 4. Under drought conditions, the water stored in the sponge block 21 evaporates to form water vapor, which penetrates the mesh of the partition net 32 ​​and enters the soil layer 4. The vapor channel formed by the partition net 32 ​​and the sponge block 21 continuously replenishes the water. The inclined plate 31 is fixed to the inner wall of the planting trough 1 at an angle to guide the water flow to the center. The partition net 32 ​​horizontally supports the soil layer 4 to ensure uniform infiltration. The exposed end of the guide sponge 22 achieves efficient drainage, thus completing the cycle regulation of "water storage-flood prevention-evaporation water replenishment" in a coordinated manner.

The power supply is also common knowledge in the field.
