Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit and vegetable crop planting technology, and in particular to an integrated vegetable potted plant device. Background Technology
[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the improvement of residents' living standards, small-scale vegetable cultivation methods such as balcony farming and home gardening are receiving increasing attention. People hope to achieve self-cultivation of green vegetables in limited spaces, satisfying both dietary health needs and improving the quality of their home environment. Traditional simple vegetable cultivation methods often use simple flower pots, trays, or planting boxes. These devices are simple in structure and single in function, often failing to meet the requirements of planting efficiency, water storage capacity, and ease of use. Existing tray-type vegetable cultivation devices usually require a tray to be placed at the bottom of the pot, which can be used for hydroponics and substrate cultivation of vegetables. However, their independent and separate structure makes the operation steps during vegetable cultivation extremely cumbersome, increasing the burden on manpower and resources. Secondly, because the tray is usually designed with shallow grooves, the water storage capacity of the tray is relatively small, and the water supply path is singular, relying only on top watering or shallow soaking. This leads to uneven distribution of water in the substrate, resulting in low water absorption efficiency of vegetable roots, affecting the quality of vegetable growth, and failing to meet the stringent requirements for healthy vegetable growth. Moreover, the overall appearance is not aesthetically pleasing, which easily increases labor and maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and provides an integrated vegetable potted plant device.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] This utility model provides an integrated vegetable potted plant device:
[0006] The integrated vegetable potted planter includes a first pot body. A nested staircase with a drop is provided in the middle of the outside of the first pot body. The nested staircase divides the first pot body into a high pot area and a low pot area. The high pot area can be manually held by the grower and prevents water from overflowing. The low pot area is used for planting vegetable plants and placing cultivation substrate.
[0007] The integrated vegetable potted planter also includes a second pot, the inner cavity of which is the same shape as the lower pot area, so that the first pot can be stacked and nested on the second pot, and the nesting of the second pot is limited by the difference in height and nesting steps, so that the shapes of the first pot and the second pot can be spliced and integrated with each other.
[0008] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, both the first basin and the second basin are in the shape of a quadrangular pyramid.
[0009] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the height of the second basin is higher than that of the lower basin area, so that when the second basin is nested and encloses the lower basin area, a water storage chamber is formed.
[0010] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of rectangular water inlets are provided on the side wall of the low basin area, and the rectangular water inlets are arranged in parallel and aligned with each other.
[0011] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first basin body is provided with a drainage mesh plate at the bottom of the lower basin area, and the drainage mesh plate is circular in shape.
[0012] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of identical joint fixing piles are arranged around the drainage mesh plate, and the joint fixing piles are provided with arc grooves.
[0013] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of joint fixing piles are arranged in four equal parts around the drainage net plate by fitting with the arc groove, so that a cylindrical fixing position is formed in the middle of the plurality of joint fixing piles.
[0014] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the cylindrical fixing position is used to lock and fix the planting cylinder.
[0015] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a first hollow drainage hole is provided on the side wall of the planting cylinder, and a second hollow drainage hole is provided at the bottom of the planting cylinder.
[0016] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a pair of locking buckles are provided on the inner wall of each side of the second basin. The locking buckles can pass through the rectangular water inlet hole when the second basin reaches the nested steps of the drop and is nested with the first basin, and abut against the inner wall of the high basin area to fasten it.
[0017] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] This invention achieves a modular and highly integrated vegetable planting system design through a detachable nested structure of the first and second pots, and a precise locking mechanism between the planting cylinder and the fixed cylindrical part. This significantly improves the ease and flexibility of operation during assembly, disassembly, cleaning, and transportation, realizing integrated vegetable cultivation. Secondly, by laying substrate and vegetable seeds in the space between the planting cylinder and the first pot, and injecting water into the planting cylinder, the first perforated drainage hole on the side wall of the planting cylinder allows the water to diffuse and permeate into the surrounding substrate, achieving initial water supply. The water then flows into the second pot through the second perforated drainage hole and drainage mesh at the bottom of the planting cylinder, forming a water storage structure in the second pot. A rectangular water inlet provides continuous water infiltration, supporting secondary water absorption by the vegetable roots. This dual-channel circulating water supply method not only effectively balances the water intake of vegetables and improves the stability of the planting environment, but also enhances the balance and continuity of root water supply, significantly improving the growth rate, growth quality, and planting success rate of vegetables. Compared to the traditional tray-based planting method, this device has a stronger water storage capacity and good energy efficiency, environmental adaptability, and promotion and application value.

[0031] Example
[0032] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this application provides an integrated vegetable potted plant device.
[0033] The integrated vegetable potted planter includes a first pot 101. A stepped, nested ladder 102 is provided at the middle position of the outside of the first pot 101. The stepped, nested ladder 102 divides the first pot 101 into a high pot area 103 and a low pot area 104. The high pot area 103 can be manually held by the grower and prevents water from overflowing. The low pot area 104 is used for planting vegetable plants and placing cultivation substrate.
[0034] The integrated vegetable potted planter also includes a second pot 105. The inner cavity of the second pot 105 is consistent with the shape of the lower pot area 104, so that the first pot 101 can be stacked and nested on the second pot 105. The nesting of the second pot 105 is limited by the drop nesting steps 102, so that the shapes of the first pot 101 and the second pot 105 are spliced and integrated with each other.
[0035] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, both the first basin 101 and the second basin 105 are in the shape of a quadrangular pyramid.
[0036] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the height of the second basin 105 is higher than that of the lower basin area 104, so that when the second basin 105 nests and wraps around the lower basin area 104, a water storage chamber 106 is formed.
[0037] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sidewall of the low basin area 104 is provided with a plurality of rectangular water inlet holes 107, and the rectangular water inlet holes 107 are arranged in parallel and aligned with each other.
[0038] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first basin 101 is provided with a drainage mesh plate 108 at the bottom of the low basin area 104, and the drainage mesh plate 108 is circular in shape.
[0039] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of identical joint fixing piles 109 are provided around the drainage mesh plate 108, and the joint fixing piles 109 are provided with arc grooves 201.
[0040] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of joint fixing piles 109 are arranged in four equal parts around the drainage net plate 108 by means of arc grooves 201, so that a cylindrical fixing position 202 is formed in the middle of the plurality of joint fixing piles 109.
[0041] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cylindrical fixing position 202 is used to hold and fix the planting cylinder 203.
[0042] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the planting cylinder 203 has a first hollow drainage hole 204 on its side wall and a second hollow drainage hole 205 on its bottom.
[0043] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a pair of locking buckles 206 are provided on the inner wall of each side of the second basin 105. The locking buckles 206 can pass through the rectangular water inlet hole 107 when the second basin 105 reaches the nested step 102 and is nested with the first basin 101, and abut against the inner wall of the high basin area 103 to fasten.
[0044] It should be noted that before planting vegetables, the lower basin area of the first basin 101 is stacked and nested into the second basin 105. When the top of the second basin 105 reaches the nesting step 102, the locking buckle 206 will penetrate into the rectangular water inlet hole 107 and generate a misalignment force after contacting the inner wall of the higher basin area 103, so that the locking buckle 206 will fasten the first basin 101 and the second basin 105 together, realizing the merging and separation of the first basin 101 and the second basin 105. Meanwhile, the diameter of the planting cylinder 203 matches the diameter of the cylindrical fixing position 202 formed by multiple joint fixing piles 109. By simply aligning the planting cylinder 203 with the cylindrical fixing position 202 and applying a certain downward force, the planting cylinder 203 can be vertically locked in the cylindrical fixing position 202, thus placing the planting cylinder 203 stably in the center of the first pot 101. After locking and engaging, the second hollow drainage hole 205 of the planting cylinder 203 maintains communication and contact with the drainage mesh plate 108, completing the combined use of the planting cylinder 203 and the cylindrical fixing position 202. When planting is not required, the planting cylinder 203 can be pulled out from the cylindrical fixing position 202 to separate the two. The modular design of this device, which allows for both detachment and integration, greatly enhances the flexibility and convenience of using it for growing vegetable pots. The integrated detachable and assembleable structure not only improves the appearance of the vegetable pots but also facilitates cleaning after cultivation, effectively optimizing the overall water storage capacity.
[0045] It should be noted that during vegetable planting, with the first pot 101 and the second pot 105 joined together and the planting cylinder 203 fixed in the center of the first pot 101, a space is formed between the planting cylinder 203 and the lower pot area 104. The substrate is laid in this space, and vegetable seeds are sown in the filled substrate. Then, tap water is injected into the planting cylinder 203. The tap water gradually permeates through the first perforated drainage hole 204 on the side of the planting cylinder 203 to different substrate layers around it. The tap water continuously diffuses through the gaps in the substrate, providing sufficient moisture to the vegetable seeds from the roots, thus achieving the first water supply channel for vegetable planting. Simultaneously, when tap water is injected into the planting cylinder 203, it flows through the second perforated drainage hole 205 at its bottom to the drainage mesh plate 108, and then enters the water storage chamber 106 from the drainage mesh plate 108. As the tap water continuously accumulates to a certain height or volume, a small-scale reservoir maintaining a certain water level is formed in the water storage chamber 106. The tap water in the water storage chamber 106 gradually submerges the rectangular water inlet hole 107, allowing it to contact the substrate and seep into the substrate, thus achieving the second water supply channel for vegetable planting. The tap water supply through the first and second water channels forms a circulation, keeping the vegetable planting environment and nutrient intake balanced, significantly improving the growth quality, growth rate, and planting success rate of vegetables. Compared with traditional shallow trough tray-type potted vegetable planting, it has a richer water storage capacity, reduces the frequency of water injection, saves labor and time costs, and enables vegetable planting to achieve a more stable effect.
[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of this technical solution, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
