Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of WeChat ecosphere technology, and in particular relates to a miniature ecosphere with easy-to-replace filter. Background Technology
[0002] Miniature ecospheres are scientifically designed devices that condense the basic components of an ecosystem (such as biotic and abiotic environments) within a closed or semi-closed transparent container. They are often made of transparent materials (such as glass or acrylic) to form a spherical or similar closed structure, making it easy to observe the internal ecological cycle.
[0003] Miniature ecospheres often employ an integrated sealed structure, with filter sheets (or screens) embedded beneath the cultivation substrate layer to prevent substrate leakage. When the filter sheets become clogged by cultivation substrate or humus, they are difficult to disassemble, clean, or replace, leading to decreased root aeration and root rot due to lack of oxygen. Therefore, a miniature ecosphere with easily replaceable filter sheets is needed. This ecosphere uses a magnetically fixed filter structure and employs magnetic repulsion to push the filter sheet into a designated position, making it convenient for users to replace or disassemble the filter sheets. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0022] In the following description, embodiments of the present invention’s miniature ecosphere with easily replaceable filter will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] Figure 1-4 This invention illustrates a miniature ecosphere with easily replaceable filter elements, comprising a base 1. A transparent bottom shell 2 is placed within the inner cavity of the base 1. A transparent top shell 3 is snapped onto the top of the transparent bottom shell 2. The contact points between the transparent bottom shell 2 and the transparent top shell 3 are respectively provided with arc-shaped protrusions and arc-shaped grooves for fastening. The bottom of the inner cavity of the transparent bottom shell 2 is filled with sphagnum moss substrate 4. It should be noted that the sphagnum moss substrate 4 is dried sphagnum moss; after filling, water is added, providing good water retention and air permeability. A layer of gravel 5 is laid on top of the moss substrate 4. Through the combined use of the moss substrate 4 and the gravel layer 5, the moss substrate 4 is provided with the necessary cultivation materials for plant growth. The gravel layer 5 also shields the moss substrate 4, effectively preventing leakage of the moss substrate 4 into the inner cavity of the transparent bottom shell 2 when the ecosphere is tilted or inverted. A partition 6 is fitted into the inner cavity of the transparent bottom shell 2. Positioning plates 7 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the partition 6. A filter sheet 8 is fitted into the bottom of the partition 6. The partition 6 and the filter sheet... Planting holes 10 are provided at the center of the top of each of the 8. Anti-slip textures 11 are provided on one side of the top of the partition plate 6. The filter 8 is located in the inner cavity of the two positioning plates 7. The inner cavity of the transparent bottom shell 2 is provided with a magnetic suction assembly 9. The magnetic suction assembly 9 includes a fixing plate 91 fixedly connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the transparent bottom shell 2. A first positive magnet 92 is fixedly connected to the front side of the top of the fixing plate 91, and a first negative magnet 93 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the top of the fixing plate 91. A second negative magnet 94 that attracts the first positive magnet 92 is fixedly connected to the front side of the bottom of the positioning plate 7, and a second positive magnet 95 that attracts the first negative magnet 93 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the bottom of the positioning plate 7. A counterweight magnet 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the base 1. A circular groove that matches the counterweight magnet 12 is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the base 1. The counterweight magnet 12 plays a counterweight role for the base 1. At the same time, the ecological ball can be fixed to the surface of the metal object by the magnetic force of the counterweight magnet 12.
[0024] Working Principle: In use, the user fills the inner cavity of the transparent bottom shell 2 with sphagnum moss base 4 and gravel layer 5, inserts plant roots through the planting hole 10, and plants the roots inside the sphagnum moss base 4. The partition 6 and filter 8 are then installed inside the transparent bottom shell 2. The transparent top shell 3 is then placed on top of the transparent bottom shell 2, and the base 1 is placed on the surface of the transparent bottom shell 2. The filter 8 blocks the gravel layer 5, and the combined use of the gravel layer 5 and filter 8 prevents the sphagnum moss base 4 from scattering. During daily use, the plant grows self-sufficiently through photosynthesis. After a certain period, the pores on the surface of the filter 8 may become clogged due to the sphagnum moss base 4. This clogged filter 8 prevents normal air circulation and root respiration for the plant roots. At this point, the user removes the transparent top shell 3. The top shell 3 is removed from the top of the transparent bottom shell 2, and the partition 6 is pushed and rotated by the anti-slip texture 11. This causes the partition 6 to rotate the two positioning plates 7 on the top of the fixing plate 91. During the rotation, the positioning plates 7 cause the second negative magnet 94 and the second positive magnet 95 to shift, causing the second negative magnet 94 to disengage from the first positive magnet 92, the second positive magnet 95 and the first negative magnet 93. During the movement, the rear second positive magnet 95 reaches above the right first positive magnet 92, and the front second negative magnet 94 reaches above the rear first negative magnet 93. At this time, according to the principle of like poles repulsion, the partition 6 is pushed upward, making the partition 6 higher than the top of the transparent bottom shell 2. At this time, the user can remove the partition 6 from the inner cavity of the transparent bottom shell 2 and remove the filter 8 from the inner cavity of the two positioning plates 7 to replace the filter 8.
[0025] In summary, this miniature ecosphere with easily replaceable filter media provides a suitable living environment for plants through the combined use of the transparent bottom shell 2, sphagnum moss base 4, and transparent top shell 3. Simultaneously, the combination of the gravel layer 5, partition 6, and filter media 8 prevents leakage of the sphagnum moss base 4. Furthermore, the magnetic suction component 9 facilitates the user's removal of the partition 6 and filter media 8 from the inner cavity of the transparent bottom shell 2, thus achieving the goals of easy filter replacement and maintenance.
