Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of greening device technology, specifically to a modular greening planting pot. Background Technology
[0002] Greening is the activity of planting plants to improve the environment. Greening refers to the planting of protective forests, roadside trees, crops, and various plants in residential areas and parks. Greening includes national land greening, urban greening, greening around houses and roads, etc.
[0003] To further increase green coverage, people have begun to utilize rooftop spaces for greening and planting. Many rooftop greening planting pots have appeared on the market, but they generally have the following problems: 1. Poor drainage in these pots leads to insufficient rainwater drainage, causing root rot and other diseases due to excessive soil moisture. Poor soil aeration also hinders plant growth. 2. The planting pots cannot be connected, resulting in poor overall integrity. If there are many pots, individual watering is time-consuming and laborious. Only sprinkler irrigation is possible, not continuous watering, which can easily lead to extreme situations like waterlogging or drought in individual pots. 3. The planting pots take up a large amount of space, making them inconvenient to move and transport. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a modular greening planting pot with strong water storage and drainage capacity, and which can be spliced and stacked, making it easy to handle and transport.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is:
[0006] A modular greening planting pot includes a square pot body with an open top. At least one side of the pot body has an inverted U-shaped connecting buckle at its top. The pot body includes a bottom and a wall, which together form a planting space. The wall gradually slopes outwards from bottom to top, widening the opening. The bottom has several recessed water storage tanks. A planting support surface is formed on the bottom corresponding to the positions of the water storage tanks. Multiple water-guiding channels for connecting adjacent water storage tanks are recessed on the planting support surface. At least one water storage tank has a vertically penetrating drainage protrusion. A planting partition is also provided inside the pot body above the bottom. The planting partition has several permeable micropores corresponding to the planting support surface, and drainage holes are provided on the planting partition corresponding to the positions of the water storage tanks.
[0007] Each corner of the basin is provided with a tearable piece in the shape of a quarter circle (fan shape), the outer side of the basin wall is provided with a wavy groove, and the top of each of the adjacent two sides of the basin is provided with an inverted U-shaped connecting buckle. Each connecting buckle is provided along the corresponding side edge of the basin and is integrally formed with the basin.
[0008] The depth of the water guiding channel is less than the depth of the water storage tank.
[0009] There are 9 water storage tanks, which are arranged longitudinally and transversely in the bottom of the basin. The 3 water storage tanks in the middle of the basin are hexagonal, and the 3 water storage tanks on each side of the basin are fishtail shaped on the side closest to each other.
[0010] The planting support surface at the bottom of the pot is provided with several vertical anti-slip ribs, and the planting partition is provided with slots for inserting the corresponding anti-slip ribs at the corresponding positions.
[0011] The drainage protrusions are conical in shape, and the height of each drainage protrusion is less than the depth of the corresponding water storage tank.
[0012] The bottom of the planting partition is provided with a support column corresponding to the position of each water storage tank. Each support column is provided with a number of water passage holes and a water passage notch is provided at the bottom end of each support column.
[0013] Each of the aforementioned support pillars is in the shape of an inverted cone, and the height of each of the aforementioned support pillars is greater than the depth of the corresponding water storage tank.
[0014] The bottom of the planting partition has several protrusions corresponding to the positions between each of the permeable micropores.
[0015] It also includes a water pipe for connecting adjacent basins, one end of the water pipe being inserted into the drainage protrusion, and the other end of the water pipe being connected to a connecting pipe.
[0016] With the above structure, the modular greening planting pot of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. A U-shaped connecting buckle is provided on the top side of one side of the basin. The connecting buckle of one basin can be fastened to the side wall of another basin to achieve quick splicing between the basins without the need for additional connectors.
[0018] 2. The basin has several water storage tanks with a downward-facing depression, which can hold a large amount of water and intercept rainwater over a large area. The water storage tanks are interconnected through water guiding channels to ensure that the water in each water storage tank is evenly distributed.
[0019] 3. At least one of the water storage tanks is provided with a vertically penetrating drainage protrusion. When the water level in the water storage tank is higher than the drainage protrusion, the excess water in the water storage tank is discharged from the drainage protrusion to avoid water accumulation.
[0020] 4. The pot is also equipped with a planting partition located above the bottom of the pot. The planting partition divides the planting space in the pot into an upper substrate area and a lower water storage area. It can play the role of permeable water and soil filtration without the need for geotextile. Geotextile can also be stuffed into the planting partition and water-absorbing cotton can be stuffed into the drainage hole for better water conduction.
[0021] 5. The basin has an flared opening, which makes it easier to stack the basins together during handling and transportation, saving transportation space.
[0022] Furthermore, the bottom of the planting partition is provided with support pillars corresponding to the positions of each of the water storage tanks. After the pot is filled with planting soil, the water stored in the corresponding water storage tank can be conducted to the planting soil above the planting partition through capillary action (wicking) to provide a continuous water supply. The support pillars are inverted conical in shape, and the planting partitions can also be stacked together for easy handling and transportation.
[0023] Furthermore, the bottom of the planting partition is provided with several protrusions corresponding to the positions between each of the permeable micropores, so that a three-dimensional gap is maintained between the planting partition and the planting support surface. This not only forms a water passage to facilitate water storage in the water tank and drainage in the pot, but also allows fine soil on the planting partition to fall from the permeable micropores into the three-dimensional gap, preventing the permeable micropores from being blocked.
[0024] Furthermore, it also includes water pipes for connecting adjacent basins, so that the water storage capacity of each basin is basically the same, making maintenance more convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0046] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided through specific embodiments.
[0047] A modular greening planting pot, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a square basin 1 with an open top. At least one side of the basin 1 has an inverted U-shaped connecting buckle 11 at its top edge. The connecting buckle 11 is integrally formed with the basin 1 along one side edge. In use, the connecting buckle 11 of one basin 1 is fastened to the side wall of another basin 1, enabling quick assembly between the basins. This allows for modular greening in green areas (rooftops, etc.). Preferably, connecting buckles 11 are provided at the top edges of adjacent sides of the basin 1, allowing for assembly in both longitudinal and transverse directions.
[0048] like Figures 1-2As shown, the pot body 1 includes a pot bottom 12 and a pot wall 13, which enclose a planting space. The pot wall 13 gradually slopes outward from bottom to top, making the opening of the pot body 1 flared outward. This allows the pot bodies 1 to be stacked together during handling and transportation, making it more convenient and saving transportation space. The outer side of the pot wall 13 is provided with wavy grooves 131, providing a gripping point for the hands and facilitating the handling of the pot body 1.
[0049] The bottom 12 of the pot is recessed and has several water storage troughs 14. The positions of the bottom 12 corresponding to each water storage trough 14 form a planting support surface. Preferably, there are nine water storage troughs 14, which are distributed longitudinally and transversely within the bottom 12. The three water storage troughs 14 located in the middle of the pot body 1 are hexagonal to ensure a large water storage capacity and increase the overall strength of the pot body 1. The three water storage troughs 14 on each side of the pot body 1 each have four sides, with the side closest to each other being fishtail-shaped, and the other three sides being straight, resulting in a unique and stylish design. The side walls of each water storage trough 14 gradually slope outward from bottom to top, which facilitates the stacking of pots 1. This modular greening planting pot uses a bottom-mounted water storage system, which has a large water storage capacity and can intercept rainwater over a large area.
[0050] Since each water storage tank 14 protrudes from the outside of the basin bottom 12, it forms a crisscrossing groove on the outside of the basin bottom 12, so that the basin body 1 can be engaged with the keel strip of the sloping roof, fixing the basin body 1 on the sloping roof and preventing the basin body 1 from sliding.
[0051] The planting support surface of the pot bottom 12 is recessed with multiple water guiding channels 15 for connecting adjacent water storage tanks 14. The depth of the water guiding channels 15 is less than the depth of the water storage tanks 14. Each water storage tank 14 is connected to the others through the water guiding channels 15, thereby ensuring that the water volume of each water storage tank 14 can be evenly distributed.
[0052] At least one of the water storage tanks 14 is provided with a vertically penetrating drainage protrusion 16. The drainage protrusion 16 is conical, and the height of each drainage protrusion 16 is less than the depth of the corresponding water storage tank 14. When the water level in the water storage tank 14 is higher than the drainage protrusion 16, the excess water in the water storage tank 14 is discharged from the drainage protrusion 16 to avoid water accumulation. When the modular greening planting pot is shipped, both ends of the drainage protrusion 16 are closed. When drainage is needed, both ends of the drainage protrusion 16 can be completely punctured with a sharp tool to achieve the drainage function. Preferably, in order to achieve better drainage effect, drainage protrusions 16 are respectively provided in the water storage tanks 14 located in the middle of each side pot wall 13, and the drainage protrusions 16 are set close to the corresponding pot wall 13, thereby facilitating the connection of the water storage tanks 14 between adjacent pots 1.
[0053] like Figure 1 , Figures 3-4As shown, a planting partition 2 is also provided inside the pot body 1, located above the bottom 12 of the pot. The planting partition 2 divides the planting space inside the pot body 1 into an upper substrate area and a lower water storage area. The planting partition 2 has several densely distributed permeable micropores 21 at the position corresponding to the planting support surface. The planting partition 2 has drainage holes 22 at the center position of each water storage tank 14. The drainage holes 22 are staggered with the drainage protrusions 16. The roots of the plants extend into the water storage tank 14 through the permeable micropores 21 to extract water and nutrients. It can play the role of permeable soil filtration without geotextile. Alternatively, geotextile can be stuffed on the planting partition 2 and water-absorbing cotton can be stuffed into the drainage holes 22 to achieve better water conduction effect and provide water and nutrients for the plants.
[0054] Several vertical anti-slip ribs 17 are provided on the planting support surface of the pot bottom 12. The planting partition 2 has slots 23 for inserting the corresponding anti-slip ribs 17 at the corresponding positions. By inserting the anti-slip ribs 17 into the slots 23, the planting partition 2 is placed more stably in the pot body 1 when placed on a sloping roof. The anti-slip ribs 17 also play a certain role in preventing the planting soil in the pot body 1 from sliding.
[0055] Preferably, the bottom of the planting partition 2 is provided with a support column 24 corresponding to the position of each water storage tank 14. Each support column 24 is provided with several water passage holes 241, and the bottom end of each support column 24 is provided with a water passage notch. Thus, when the pot is filled with planting soil and the planting partition 2 is placed on the planting support surface of the pot bottom 12, the water stored in the corresponding water storage tank 14 can be conducted to the planting soil above the planting partition 2 through capillary action (wicking), providing a continuous water supply. Each support column 24 is inverted conical in shape, and the planting partitions 2 can also be stacked together through the support columns 24 for easy handling and transportation. The height of each support column 24 is greater than the depth of the corresponding water storage tank 14.
[0056] Preferably, the bottom of the planting partition 2 is provided with several protrusions 25 corresponding to the positions between each permeable micropore 21, so that a three-dimensional gap is maintained between the planting partition 2 and the planting support surface. This not only forms a water passage to facilitate water storage in the water tank 14 and drainage in the pot 1, but also allows the fine soil on the planting partition 2 to fall from the permeable micropore 21 into the three-dimensional gap, preventing the permeable micropore 21 from being blocked.
[0057] Preferably, each corner of the pot body 1 is provided with a tearable piece 18 in the shape of a quarter circle (fan). When the four pot bodies 1 are spliced together, the adjacent corners of each pot body 1 combine to form a circle. When it is necessary to insert an irrigation pipe or a sprinkler assembly from below the pot body 1, each tearable piece 18 can be cut off to facilitate watering of the plants.
[0058] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 andFigure 7 As shown, the modular greening planting pot also includes a water pipe 3 for connecting adjacent pots. The water pipe 3 is T-shaped or L-shaped. The water pipe 3 has a first end 31, a second end 32, and a third end 33 that are parallel to each other. The first end 31 of the water pipe 3 is the water inlet end, which is inserted into the drainage protrusion 16. The bottom 12 of the pot has a notch 19 on the outside corresponding to the drainage protrusion 16 to facilitate the insertion of the first end 31 of the water pipe 3. The second end 32 of the water pipe 3 is the closed end. After the first end 31 of the water pipe 3 is inserted into the drainage protrusion 16, the closed end 32 is flush with the bottom of the pot 12 on the horizontal ground, making the connection more stable. The third end 33 of the water pipe 3 is connected to the connecting pipe 4. The water pipe 3 is symmetrically provided with abutment blocks 34 that abut against the end of the connecting pipe 4 at the position corresponding to the third end 33. The two ends of the connecting pipe 4 can be connected to the third end 33 of the water pipe 3 on the adjacent pot 1, thereby connecting the water storage tanks 14 of the adjacent pots 1, so that the water storage capacity of each pot 1 is basically the same, making maintenance more convenient. One end of the connecting pipe 4 can be connected to the water pipe 3 on the pot 1, and the other end can be connected to the drainage pipe, thereby draining the excess water in the water storage tank 14 out of the planting system.
[0059] Preferably, multiple waterproof sealing rings 35 are respectively installed on the first end 31 and the third end 33 of the water pipe 3 to ensure that there is no water leakage at the connection between the water pipe 3 and the drainage protrusion 16 or the connection between the water pipe 4.
[0060] The water pipe 3 is compatible with standard 20 mm pipes, plugs and valves on the market, enabling flexible drainage. It can also be connected to drainage pipes for long-distance drainage, or installed with a stop plug to achieve zoned water level control.
[0061] Overall, the planting pot consists of three parts: the pot body 1, the planting partition 2, and the water pipe 3. It has a simple structure, is easy to process and install, and the pot body 1 and the planting partition 2 can be stacked separately, resulting in low transportation costs.
[0062] The above embodiments and figures are not intended to limit the product form and style of this utility model. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art should be considered as not departing from the patent scope of this utility model.
