Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of horticultural planting technology, and more specifically, to a wood fiber-based water-saving planting container with a water-conducting core. Background Technology
[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and people's pursuit of green living, home gardening and urban greening are becoming increasingly popular. Traditional planting containers are mostly made of plastic, ceramic, or cement. Plastic containers are inexpensive but non-biodegradable, easily causing "white pollution"; ceramic and cement containers are heavy, fragile, and energy-intensive to produce.
[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered that watering is a crucial aspect of daily plant care. Traditional watering methods suffer from problems such as water waste (e.g., excessive watering leading to significant water loss from the bottom of the pot), uneven watering (wet surface soil while dry deeper soil layers), and inconvenience (requiring frequent watering, especially during hot seasons or when away from home). Therefore, in view of these issues, the inventors have researched and improved the existing structure to provide a water-saving planting container with a water-conducting core based on wood fiber, aiming to achieve greater practical value. Utility Model Content
[0004] 1. Technical problems to be solved
[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a water-saving planting container based on wood fiber with a water-conducting core. It can solve the problems of water waste, uneven watering, and inconvenient maintenance in the traditional watering method, as well as the insufficient water retention and water conduction performance of environmentally friendly planting containers (such as wood fiber pots).
[0006] 2. Technical Solution
[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.
[0008] A water-saving planting container based on wood fiber with a water-guiding core includes a container body. The interior of the container body is fixedly provided with a side wall and a bottom wall from top to bottom. The interior of the side wall is provided with a soil layer. A through hole is opened in the center of the bottom wall of the container body. The water-guiding core body is fixedly installed in the through hole. A reinforcing sleeve one and a reinforcing sleeve two are fixedly provided on the outer side of the container body from top to bottom. The bottom of the container body is provided with a water-receiving base that matches the shape of the bottom wall. A base support is fixedly provided below the water-receiving base. A water storage tank is opened inside the water-receiving base. An adapter block is fixedly connected to the middle position of the bottom of the base support. An annular boss is engaged below the adapter block.
[0009] Furthermore, the container body is made of wood fiber composite material, which is formed by mixing and pressing wood fibers, natural adhesives and waterproofing agents, wherein the waterproofing agent is a natural wax.
[0010] Furthermore, an installation sleeve is installed inside the water storage tank, and an installation groove is provided on the inner side of the installation sleeve.
[0011] Furthermore, an adapter slot is provided on the inner side of the annular boss, and the adapter slot is engaged with the adapter block.
[0012] Furthermore, the water-conducting core body is embedded and sealed in the through hole, and the lower end of the water-conducting core body extends out of the bottom of the container body, while the upper end is located in the middle and lower layer of the soil inside the container body.
[0013] Furthermore, the sidewalls and bottomwalls are doped with water-retaining particles, which are highly absorbent resin particles.
[0014] Furthermore, the water-conducting core body is made of a water-absorbing material, which is a hydrophilic sponge.
[0015] 3. Beneficial effects
[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0017] (1) This solution constructs an automatic water supply system based on capillary action by setting a water-guiding core at the bottom of a container body made of wood fiber composite material, in conjunction with an external water receiving base and an internal water storage tank. When the water storage tank contains water, the lower end of the water-guiding core is immersed in the water, and the water is continuously and slowly transported upward to the soil layer inside the container body by utilizing the capillary action of the hydrophilic sponge. This "bottom-up" water supply method can effectively maintain the moisture of the lower soil layers, avoiding the problem of excessive surface wetness and deep dryness caused by traditional "top-down" watering, achieving uniform water distribution and long-term supply, significantly reducing the watering frequency and total water consumption, resulting in significant water saving and solving the problem of inconvenient maintenance.
[0018] (2) This solution uses wood fiber composite material as the container body, which has good biodegradability, breathability, and lightweight advantages, conforming to the concept of environmental protection. By adding natural wax waterproofing agent and incorporating highly absorbent resin water-retaining particles into the wall, the solution effectively reduces the rate of water leakage and evaporation from the container wall while ensuring the environmental friendliness of the materials, thereby enhancing the overall water retention capacity. This, combined with the water-conducting core, further improves the water-saving performance. The design of reinforcement sleeve one and reinforcement sleeve two enhances the structural strength of the container body, preventing it from cracking during use. The water receiving base is detachable by engaging with the annular boss through adapter blocks and adapter slots, facilitating the user's addition of water, cleaning, and maintenance.
