Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of planting equipment technology, specifically to a multi-layer planting box. Background Technology

[0002] In today's increasingly compact urban environment, vertical planting has become an important way to efficiently utilize space. Multi-layer planting boxes, with their high space utilization advantage, are widely used in home gardening, small-scale agricultural planting, and other scenarios. However, existing multi-layer planting boxes have several technical bottlenecks: First, the internal structure design of the planting boxes is unreasonable, and the water management function is lacking. Traditional planting boxes usually only have a single planting space, which easily leads to waterlogging and root rot in the upper layer and drought in the lower layer when watering, failing to meet the plant's reasonable water needs and causing water waste. Second, in terms of the connection structure, most multi-layer planting boxes use simple stacking or loose connection methods, which are prone to misalignment and poor stability when bearing the weight of soil and plants, posing safety hazards. Third, most existing planting boxes are fixed, making it difficult to flexibly adjust their position according to the needs of light, spatial layout, etc., which greatly limits their application scenarios.

[0035] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, a multi-layer planting box in the first aspect embodiment of the present invention includes at least two planting box bodies 1 stacked one on top of the other, and adjacent planting box bodies 1 are connected by a support column assembly 2.

[0038] The planting box 1 is a container structure with an open top. When manufacturing the planting box 1, durable plastic material can be selected and it is made by injection molding. Inside the container structure, a horizontally set soil-water separation partition 11 divides it into an upper planting area 12 and a lower water storage area 13. The upper planting area 12 is used to fill soil and plant plants, while the lower water storage area 13 is used to store irrigation water.

[0039] The soil-water separation partition 11 can be made of a plastic board with a certain strength. Several water evaporation holes 111 are drilled on the partition to connect the planting area 12 with the water storage area 13, so as to maintain the soil moisture balance. The diameter of these water evaporation holes 111 is usually set to about 3-6mm to ensure that the water can evaporate effectively and prevent the planting soil from falling off.

[0040] The inner wall of the planting box 1 is provided with a watering trough 14. A snap-fit ​​protrusion 143 is provided on the side of the watering trough 14 closest to the planting box 1. A corresponding snap-fit ​​groove 15, which is an arc-shaped groove, is provided on the inner wall of the planting box 1 at a corresponding position to fit the snap-fit ​​protrusion 143. When installing the watering trough 14, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 143 is aligned with the snap-fit ​​groove 15, and then the watering trough 14 is pushed along the direction of the arc-shaped groove, causing the snap-fit ​​protrusion 143 to snap into the snap-fit ​​groove 15. This allows for quick and easy detachable installation between the watering trough 14 and the planting box 1, and also facilitates the replacement of the watering trough 14. The inlet 141 of the irrigation trough 14 is located above the planting area 12 to facilitate the reception of external water flow. The outlet 142 of the irrigation trough 14 extends above the soil-water separation partition 11 and connects with the water storage area 13. Thus, during irrigation, water enters the irrigation trough 14 from the inlet 141 and flows into the water storage area 13 through the outlet 142. A limiting plate 4 is provided on the soil-water separation partition 11. The limiting plate 4 is an arc-shaped plate that surrounds the bottom of the irrigation trough 14 and abuts against the bottom outer wall of the irrigation trough 14 to prevent the irrigation trough 14 from shifting or becoming misaligned.

[0041] The support assembly 2 includes a fixing seat 21, a support column 22, and a fixing sleeve 23. The fixing seat 21 includes a conical cylinder 211 and an annular end plate 212. The conical cylinder 211 has a tapered conical cavity that tapers along its axis. The top of the support column 22 abuts against the conical cavity. The smaller diameter end of the conical cavity is the first port 211a, and the larger diameter end is the second port 211b. The annular end plate 212 surrounds the edge of the second port 211b. The inner ring of the annular end plate 212 is connected to the second port 211b. The outer diameter of the annular end plate 212 is larger than the diameter of the second port 211b, and the plane of the annular end plate 212 is perpendicular to the axis of the conical cylinder 211. The top of the support column 22 is fitted onto the fixing seat 21. Two adjacent upper planting boxes 1 have mounting holes 16 at their bottoms. The conical cylinder 211 is inserted into the mounting holes 16, and the annular end plate 212 abuts against the bottom wall of the planting box 1, thus connecting the upper planting box 1 to the support column 22. A fixing sleeve 23 is fitted onto the bottom of the support column 22. Two adjacent lower planting boxes 1 have mounting protrusions 17 on their tops, and the fixing sleeve 23 is fitted onto the mounting protrusions 17. The mounting hole 16, fixing seat 21, support column 22, fixing sleeve 23, and mounting protrusions 17 are coaxially arranged to ensure the stability of the multi-layer planting box connection. Preferably, the projected area of ​​the annular end plate is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the mounting hole; the diameter of the support column 22 is smaller than the diameter of the second port 211b but larger than the diameter of the first port 211a; this enhances the connection stability and load-bearing capacity between the fixing seat and the planting box, preventing the fixing seat from detaching from the mounting hole; the diameter of the support column is smaller than the diameter of the second port but larger than the diameter of the first port, ensuring that the support column can be smoothly inserted into the conical cylinder and can fit tightly with the conical cylinder, preventing the support column from shaking within the conical cavity and ensuring the support effect and stability of the support assembly.

[0042] In practical applications, when planting plants, suitable planting soil is filled into the planting area 12, and the plants are planted in it. Water is injected into the water storage area 13 through the irrigation trough 14, and the water in the water storage area 13 evaporates and rises naturally through the water evaporation holes 111, providing a continuous and suitable humidity environment for the plant roots and avoiding the problems of water accumulation and root rot in the upper layer and drought and water shortage in the lower layer.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, a multi-layer planting box includes all the components of Embodiment 1, plus a drive mechanism 3. The drive mechanism 3 is located at the bottom of the planting box body 1, which is in contact with the ground or platform. The drive mechanism 3 consists of rollers, which are universal wheels with a locking mechanism. When installing the rollers, bolts are used to fix them to pre-set mounting holes at the bottom of the planting box body 1. When the planting box needs to be moved, the locking mechanism of the rollers is unlocked, and the flexible steering characteristics of the universal wheels allow the planting box to be easily moved to a suitable position, such as moving it to a sunny location based on changes in light intensity. Once the planting box is in the target position, the locking mechanism secures the rollers, ensuring the planting box is stably positioned and preventing unauthorized movement. This design allows the planting box to be flexibly adjusted according to light conditions, spatial layout, and other requirements, greatly expanding its application scenarios.

[0045] Example 3

[0046] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, a multi-layer planting box includes all the features of Embodiment 1, except that the rollers are directional wheels with a lockable structure. In certain scenarios, such as moving the planting box in narrow and fixed channels or tracks, directional wheels offer better guidance and stability. The directional wheels are installed similarly to casters, secured to the bottom of the planting box body 1 with bolts. When the planting box needs to be moved, the locking structure of the directional wheels is unlocked, and the planting box is pushed along a fixed direction; once the target position is reached, the directional wheels are locked in place. Compared to casters, directional wheels are more stable in linear and directional movement, meeting the needs of different users for different planting box movement methods.

[0047] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.

[0048] The terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and "middle" used in this specification are merely for clarity of description and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Any changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, shall also be considered within the scope of implementation of this utility model.
