[0002] There are generally two methods for watering flower pots: the first is to pour water directly into the pot, and the second is to soak the pot in a basin of water, allowing the plant to absorb water through an opening at the bottom of the pot. However, both methods have drawbacks. For example, if watering is forgotten or the plant is away for an extended period, it may not receive enough water and may dry out. Furthermore, both flooding and direct soaking methods are not conducive to maintaining stable soil moisture and promoting root respiration. Therefore, an automatic water-absorbing flower pot is needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic water-absorbing flowerpot, which solves the problem that current flowerpots are inconvenient to store water for long periods of time so that plants can absorb it.

[0004] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] An automatic water-absorbing flowerpot includes:

[0006] Flowerpot base, connecting cover snapped onto the top of the flowerpot base, and flowerpot body snapped onto the top of the connecting cover;

[0007] The connecting cover has an open structure in the middle, and the inner wall of the opening protrudes along its own center to form a boss, which is set as a stepped structure. The connecting cover is connected to a water absorption box through the boss in the middle. The bottom part of the water absorption box is located inside the flower pot base, and the water absorption box is provided with a water separation component inside.

[0008] A water-absorbing tube is provided at the center of the water-absorbing box. The outside of the water-absorbing tube is in contact with the water-distributing component. A capillary water-absorbing component is inserted inside the water-absorbing tube. The top and bottom of the capillary water-absorbing component are respectively inserted into the flowerpot base and the flowerpot body.

[0009] Furthermore, an installation hole is provided at the center of the bottom of the water absorption box. The installation hole is adapted to the water absorption tube, and the water absorption tube is inserted into the installation hole, with the bottom of the water absorption tube inserted into the interior of the flowerpot base.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer edge of the top of the flowerpot base is set as a stepped structure, and the outer edge of the bottom of the connecting cover is also set as a stepped structure, and the flowerpot base and the connecting cover are interlocked with each other.

[0011] Furthermore, an air inlet groove is provided in a ring around the center of the bottom of the flowerpot body near the outer edge, and the flowerpot body is snapped onto the connecting cover through the air inlet groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer surface of the top of the connecting cover, which is inserted into the air inlet groove, has multiple air inlets, and the air inlets are connected to the air inlet groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the connecting cover has a vent cover on the protrusion, the vent cover is connected to the water absorption box, and the outer surface of the vent cover has a plurality of vent holes, the vent holes are connected to the air inlet.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be a component centrally located at the same time.

[0029] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] This utility model embodiment provides an automatic water-absorbing flower pot. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-3 The device includes: a flowerpot base 1, a connecting cover 2 snapped onto the top of the flowerpot base 1, and a flowerpot body 6 snapped onto the top of the connecting cover 2; the connecting cover 2 has an open structure in the middle, and the inner wall of the opening protrudes along its own center to form a boss, which is set as a stepped structure. A water-absorbing box 3 is snapped onto the middle of the connecting cover 2 through the boss. The bottom part of the water-absorbing box 3 is located inside the flowerpot base 1. A water-draining component 4 is provided inside the water-absorbing box 3; a water-absorbing pipe 7 is provided at the center inside the water-absorbing box 3. The outside of the water-absorbing pipe 7 is in contact with the water-draining component 4. A capillary water-absorbing component 8 is inserted inside the water-absorbing pipe 7. The top and bottom of the capillary water-absorbing component 8 are respectively inserted into the flowerpot base 1 and the flowerpot body 6.

[0031] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the flowerpot base 1, connecting cover 2, and flowerpot body 6 are designed with a layered interlocking structure, which makes each part of the flowerpot relatively independent yet interconnected. The flowerpot base 1 is used to store water and provide a water source for the entire automatic water absorption system. The connecting cover 2 plays a connecting and supporting role, and also accommodates key components such as the water absorption box 3. The flowerpot body 6 is used to place soil and plant plants, making it easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0032] The opening structure of the connecting cover 2 provides installation space for the water absorption box 3. The design of the boss and stepped structure can accurately position and fix the water absorption box 3, ensuring that the water absorption box 3 will not shake or shift during the use of the flower pot base 1. Furthermore, the bottom part of the water absorption box 3 is located inside the flower pot base 1, making it easy for the capillary water absorption element 8 to be inserted into the flower pot base 1 for water absorption.

[0033] The water-absorbing component 4 can absorb moisture from the air and then release the water. The collected water is slowly transported to the soil and plant roots through the capillary water-absorbing component 8, solving the problem of water shortage caused by the lack of timely care for the plant. In case the air humidity is insufficient and the water-absorbing component 4 does not release enough water, additional water can be added to the flowerpot base 1 so that the capillary water-absorbing component 8 absorbs water and slowly replenishes the water required by the plant, preventing the plant roots from being soaked in water and unable to breathe.

[0034] The water suction pipe 7, serving as a water transfer channel, fits snugly against the water drainer 4 to better capture the water collected by the drainer 4, ensuring that the water can smoothly enter the water suction pipe 7. The capillary water suction device 8 utilizes capillary action to draw water from the flowerpot base 1 upwards through the water suction pipe 7 into the soil inside the flowerpot body 6, providing water for the plant. It can also absorb the water collected by the drainer 4 and transfer it to the plant, achieving an automatic water absorption function. This eliminates the need for frequent manual watering, saving users time and effort. At the same time, it can automatically adjust the amount of water absorbed according to the plant's needs, maintaining suitable soil moisture.

[0035] The water separator 4 can actively absorb and collect moisture from the air, and is made of existing materials.

[0036] Specific operating process: Assemble the flowerpot base 1, connecting cover 2, and flowerpot body 6 in sequence. Place an appropriate amount of soil in the flowerpot body 6 and plant the plant. Pour a certain amount of water into the flowerpot base 1 so that the water level reaches a suitable height. The capillary water-absorbing element 8 in the water-absorbing pipe 7 uses capillary action to absorb the water inside the flowerpot base 1 and transfer it to the plant. When there is sufficient moisture in the air, the water-dispersing element 4 can absorb and collect the moisture in the air and then transfer it to the capillary water-absorbing element 8, so that the capillary water-absorbing element can transfer the water to the plant.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 An installation hole is provided at the center of the bottom of the water absorption box 3. The installation hole is adapted to the water absorption pipe 7, and the water absorption pipe 7 is inserted into the installation hole. The bottom of the water absorption pipe 7 is inserted into the flower pot base 1.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the mounting hole provides a precise installation position for the water suction pipe 7, which plays a role in positioning and fixing. It determines the installation orientation of the water suction pipe 7 at the bottom of the water suction box 3, so that the water suction pipe 7 can be stably installed on the water suction box 3, ensuring the structural stability of the entire water suction system.

[0039] The design of the mounting hole matching the suction pipe 7 ensures that the suction pipe 7 and the mounting hole can fit tightly together to form a good sealing and connection effect. This tight fit allows the water collected by the water separator 4 to be transferred to the suction pipe 7 and then quickly transferred to the capillary suction element 8.

[0040] The bottom of the water suction pipe 7 is inserted into the flowerpot base 1, establishing a water transmission channel between the flowerpot base 1 and the water suction box 3, so that the water in the flowerpot base 1 can smoothly enter the water suction pipe 7, and the capillary water suction element 8 can transfer the water to the plant in the flowerpot base 1.

[0041] Please continue reading. Figure 1 The flowerpot base 1 has a stepped structure at the top outer edge, and the connecting cover 2 has a stepped structure at the bottom outer edge. The flowerpot base 1 and the connecting cover 2 are interlocked. The bottom of the flowerpot body 6 has an air inlet groove 603 around its center near the outer edge. The flowerpot body 6 is interlocked with the connecting cover 2 through the air inlet groove 603.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the stepped structure has a clear size and shape, which can fit into the corresponding structure on the bottom outer edge of the connecting cover 2, playing a role in positioning and initial fixation. This ensures that the flowerpot base 1 and the connecting cover 2 can be accurately aligned during assembly, enhancing the connection strength between the flowerpot base 1 and the connecting cover 2, preventing water leakage. Even if there is external force during watering or moving the flowerpot, the connection between the two can be kept tight, preventing water from overflowing from the connection and wetting the surrounding environment. At the same time, this snap-fit ​​method is easy to disassemble and clean, making it convenient for users to maintain the inside of the flowerpot.

[0043] The bottom of the flowerpot body 6 is provided with an air inlet groove 603 in a ring shape around its center near the outer edge. On the one hand, it provides a structural basis for the connection between the flowerpot body 6 and the connecting cover 2, and is fixed by cooperating with the corresponding part on the connecting cover 2. On the other hand, the air inlet groove 603 can serve as a channel for air to enter the flowerpot, providing the necessary oxygen for the respiration of the plant roots. Furthermore, external air can enter the water absorption box 3, which facilitates the water extraction component 4 to absorb and collect moisture from the air.

[0044] The flowerpot body 6 is firmly installed on the connecting cover 2, forming a complete flowerpot structure. This snap-fit ​​method makes the flowerpot body 6 and the connecting cover 2 form a relatively stable connection, which can withstand a certain weight and external force, ensuring the stability of the flowerpot during use.

[0045] Please continue reading. Figure 1 The outer surface of the connecting cover 2, which is inserted into the air inlet groove 603, has multiple air inlets 201. The air inlets 201 are connected to the air inlet groove 603. The connecting cover 2 has a vent cover 5 on its protrusion. The vent cover 5 is connected to the water absorption box 3. The outer surface of the vent cover 5 has multiple vent holes 501. The vent holes 501 are connected to the air inlets 201. The bottom of the inner wall of the flowerpot body 6 has multiple ventilation holes 601. The ventilation holes 601 are connected to the vent cover 5.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the air inlet 201 is a key channel for outside air to enter the interior of the flowerpot. When the flowerpot body 6 is attached to the connecting cover 2 via the air inlet groove 603, the position design of the air inlet 201 allows air to enter the space between the flowerpot body 6 and the connecting cover 2 precisely, thereby providing the necessary oxygen for the plant roots and also providing a channel for the water draining component 4 to absorb air moisture.

[0047] The interconnected design of the air inlet 201 and the air inlet groove 603 creates a complete air circulation path. The air inlet groove 603, as the annular space formed when the flowerpot body 6 and the connecting cover 2 are engaged, can guide outside air to the lower part of the flowerpot body 6 after being connected with the air inlet 201, providing a basis for the subsequent diffusion of air to the plant roots.

[0048] The vent cover 5 serves two purposes: firstly, it protects the internal structure of the water absorption box 3, preventing external impurities and dust from entering the water absorption box 3 and affecting the normal operation of components such as the water separation component 4 and the water absorption pipe 7 inside the water absorption box 3; secondly, it acts as a node for air circulation, further guiding the air introduced by the air inlet 201 to the vent 501, thus achieving directional air circulation.

[0049] The ventilation cover 5 is connected to the water absorption box 3, which establishes an air exchange channel between the ventilation cover 5 and the water absorption box 3. This allows the water-dispersing component 4 in the water absorption box 3 to absorb moisture from the air and transfer the moisture to the plant in the flowerpot body 6 through the capillary water absorption component 8, thus keeping the air inside the water absorption box 3 fresh and circulating.

[0050] The ventilation hole 601 is an important channel for further upward diffusion and exchange of air inside the flowerpot body 6. It guides the air around the vent cover 5 to the upper part of the flowerpot body 6, allowing the air to contact the upper area of ​​the plant roots, realizing the full circulation of air inside the flowerpot. This ensures that all parts of the plant roots can obtain sufficient oxygen, avoiding the situation where some roots are hypoxic due to poor air circulation. The setting of multiple ventilation holes 601 increases the area and efficiency of air exchange, promotes the metabolism of plant roots, and helps the plant grow stronger.

[0051] Please continue reading. Figure 1 A water injection hole is provided in the middle of the bottom of the inner wall of the flowerpot body 6, and one end of the capillary water suction element 8 passes through the water injection hole and extends into the interior of the flowerpot body 6.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, the water inlet provides a path for the capillary water absorber 8 to extend from the flowerpot base 1 to the inside of the flowerpot body 6, so that the capillary water absorber 8 can pass smoothly through the bottom of the flowerpot body 6 and realize the function of transferring water in the flowerpot base 1 upward to the soil inside the flowerpot body 6.

[0053] The capillary water-absorbing component 8 utilizes capillary action to absorb water from the flowerpot base 1 and transfer it upwards to the flowerpot body 6, providing necessary water for the plant roots. It is a key component of the entire automatic water absorption system.

[0054] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The top of the flowerpot body 6 has a flowerpot opening 602, and the outer surface of the water absorption box 3 has multiple openings 301. The inner wall of the connecting cover 2 is fixed with a locking block at the position of the opening 301, and the locking block is inserted into the opening 301.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the flowerpot opening 602 provides an entrance for planting and a space for growth for the plant. The plant can be planted into the flowerpot body 6 through the flowerpot opening 602, and its roots can extend and grow in the soil inside the flowerpot body 6.

[0056] The snap-fit ​​structure between the clip and the opening 301 can firmly fix the water absorption box 3 to the connecting cover 2, preventing the water absorption box 3 from shaking, shifting or falling off during use, and ensuring the stability of the entire automatic water absorption system.

[0057] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
