Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of horticulture and planting technology, and in particular to an urban three-dimensional planting and horticulture system. Background Technology
[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, urban residents' living space is becoming increasingly limited, making the need for plant cultivation in limited spaces more urgent. This has driven urban agriculture to shift from traditional planar planting to three-dimensional space utilization. Currently, the core development directions in urban planting technology include: space-efficient utilization technologies, such as three-dimensional trellises, multi-layer planting modules, and soil-hydroponics compatible technologies to meet the different growth habits of plants; nutrient solution self-circulation technology to reduce manual management costs; and architectural space integration technologies, such as wall planting and balcony gardening. Among these, three-dimensional stacking technology improves the utilization rate of unit space through multi-layer structures, and nutrient solution circulation technology achieves automatic water and fertilizer supply through pipeline design; these are key technological branches in this field.
[0003] In home-based small-scale gardening scenarios, existing technologies have significant limitations: traditional flower pots or planting boxes are mostly single-function designs, making it difficult to meet the needs of both soil and hydroponics simultaneously. If both are required, multiple sets of equipment are needed, taking up a lot of space; three-dimensional stacked structures mostly rely on simple stacking, lacking stable locking or latching designs, making them prone to tipping over due to shaking, and difficult to achieve diverse combinations; nutrient solution management relies on manual watering, and even if some systems are equipped with drip irrigation devices, there are problems such as low circulation efficiency and easy liquid overflow, making it difficult to achieve "lazy management"; changing soil and water is cumbersome, requiring complete disassembly, which causes significant damage to the plant root system.
[0004] Traditional wall planting often uses integrated planting trays, which require fixing a large area of structure to the wall surface. This not only makes installation complicated, but also requires the entire tray to be operated for the maintenance of a single plant. When changing the soil or crops, the entire tray needs to be disassembled, resulting in poor flexibility.
[0005] This utility model addresses the aforementioned issues of space utilization, functional compatibility, and cyclical management in home-based planting and breeding by proposing an urban three-dimensional planting and horticulture system. Utility Model Content
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide an urban three-dimensional planting and horticulture system.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: This utility model provides an urban three-dimensional planting and horticulture system, including multiple stackable small components and a circulating drip irrigation assembly; The small component consists of a detachably connected curved cavity square brick and a curved tube planting dish. The curved cavity square brick has a curved cavity structure, and the curved tube planting dish is an elliptical arc-shaped tube. The curvature of the curved tube planting dish is precisely matched with the curvature of the curved cavity structure of the curved cavity square brick. The circulating drip irrigation assembly consists of a nutrient solution drip bottle, a siphon pipe, and a circulation pipe. The nutrient solution drip bottle is attached to the top of the curved cavity square brick. The siphon pipe is used to connect the nutrient solution drip bottle from high to low with the curved tube planting dish and the curved cavity square brick with the curved tube planting dish. The circulation pipe is used to connect the lowest curved cavity square brick and the nutrient solution drip bottle.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the curved cavity square brick includes an upper cavity and a lower cavity, and a vertically connected splicing structure is provided between the upper cavity and the lower cavity. Both the upper cavity and the lower cavity have multiple arc-shaped openings. The top of the upper cavity is provided with at least one pair of protruding structures, and the bottom of the lower cavity is provided with a concave bottom structure that matches the shape and size of the protruding structures. The protruding structure is located at the edge region of the top of the upper cavity, and the concave bottom structure is located at the corresponding position at the bottom of the lower cavity. The height of the protruding structure is adapted to the depth of the concave bottom structure, so that the concave bottom structure of the upper lower cavity can be fitted and engaged with the protruding structure of the lower upper cavity, thereby achieving axial positioning and stability when stacked. The outer periphery of the protruding structure and the inner periphery of the concave bottom structure are complementary locking shapes. When the upper and lower cavities are misaligned and superimposed, the protruding structure can form a circumferential limiting lock with the concave bottom structure, restricting the relative displacement of the curved cavity bricks in the horizontal direction, so as to ensure the stability of the superimposed combination.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the lower cavity has an overflow port on its side, and the horizontal line of the overflow port is lower than that of the arc-shaped port.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom end of the curved tube planting dish has multiple ventilation holes.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the bottom surface of the nutrient solution drip bottle is provided with a concave bottom structure that matches the raised structure.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the curved cavity square brick is made of cement prefabrication, ceramic firing or high-density polyethylene injection molding, and the curved tube planting dish is made of high-density polyethylene injection molding or ceramic firing.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a water flow regulator is provided on the siphon pipe, and a micro-power micro-water pump is provided on the circulation pipe.

This utility model achieves compatibility between soil-grown and hydroponic plants through the structural design of curved cavity square bricks and curved tube planting dishes, meeting diverse planting needs.
[0015] 2: This utility model ensures the stability and combination diversity of three-dimensional stacking by using the interlocking design of the top protrusion and bottom concave bottom of the curved cavity square brick and the precise matching of the curvature of the curved cavity square brick and the curved tube planting dish, thereby improving the utilization rate of small spaces.

[0019] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0020] Example 1 like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides an urban vertical planting and horticulture system, including multiple stackable small components and a circulating drip irrigation assembly; The small assembly consists of a detachably connected curved cavity square brick 11 and a curved tube planting dish 12. The curved cavity square brick 11 has a curved cavity structure, and the curved tube planting dish 12 is an elliptical arc tube. The curvature of the curved tube planting dish 12 is precisely matched with the curvature of the curved cavity structure of the curved cavity square brick 11. The circulating drip irrigation assembly consists of a nutrient solution drip bottle 21, a siphon pipe 22, and a circulation pipe 23. The nutrient solution drip bottle 21 is fastened to the top of the curved cavity square brick 11. The siphon pipe 22 is used to connect the nutrient solution drip bottle 21 from high to low with the curved tube planting dish 12 and the curved cavity square brick 11 with the curved tube planting dish 12. The circulation pipe 23 is used to connect the lowest curved cavity square brick 11 and the nutrient solution drip bottle 21.
[0021] Furthermore, the curved cavity square brick 11 includes an upper cavity 111 and a lower cavity 112. A vertically connected splicing structure 113 is provided between the upper cavity 111 and the lower cavity 112. Both the upper cavity 111 and the lower cavity 112 have multiple arc-shaped openings 114. The top of the upper cavity 111 is provided with at least one pair of protruding structures 115, and the bottom of the lower cavity 112 is provided with a concave bottom structure 116 that matches the shape and size of the protruding structures 115. The protruding structure 115 is located at the edge area of the top of the upper cavity 111, and the concave bottom structure 116 is located at the corresponding position at the bottom of the lower cavity 112. The height of the protruding structure 115 is matched with the depth of the concave bottom structure 116, so that the concave bottom structure 116 of the upper lower cavity 112 can be fitted and engaged with the protruding structure 115 of the lower upper cavity 111, thereby achieving axial positioning and stability when stacked. The outer periphery of the protruding structure 115 and the inner periphery of the concave bottom structure 116 are complementary locking shapes. When the upper and lower cavities are misaligned and superimposed, the protruding structure 115 can form a circumferential limiting lock with the concave bottom structure 116, restricting the relative displacement of the curved cavity square brick 11 in the horizontal direction, so as to ensure the stability of the superimposed combination.
[0022] Furthermore, an overflow port 117 is provided on the side of the lower cavity 112, and the horizontal line of the overflow port 117 is lower than that of the arc-shaped port 114. This can control the amount of liquid in the cavity, avoid soaking the roots and affecting their respiration, provide a stable overflow path for the circulation of nutrient solution, and also allow air to circulate inside the curved cavity brick 11.
[0023] Furthermore, the bottom of the curved tube planting dish 12 has multiple ventilation holes 118 to balance water supply and root respiration, ensure ventilation, and drain excess water.
[0024] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the nutrient solution drip bottle 21 is provided with a concave bottom structure 116 that matches the raised structure 115, so as to achieve a stable connection with the curved cavity square brick 11, prevent the bottle from tipping over, and ensure a stable supply of nutrient solution.
[0025] Furthermore, the curved cavity square brick 11 is made of precast cement, ceramic firing, or high-density polyethylene injection molding, while the curved tube planting dish 12 is made of high-density polyethylene injection molding or ceramic firing. The material selection of the curved cavity square brick 11 and the curved tube planting dish 12 takes into account structural strength, durability, and plant safety, and is suitable for different usage environments. Specifically, when used indoors, the curved cavity square brick 11 and the curved tube planting dish 12 are made of high-density plastic; when used outdoors, the curved cavity square brick 11 is made of precast cement or ceramic firing, and the curved tube planting dish 12 is made of ceramic firing.
[0026] Furthermore, a water flow regulator 221 is installed on the siphon pipe 22, and a micro-power micro-water pump 231 is installed on the circulation pipe 23. The water flow regulator 21 can control the drip irrigation rate to adapt to the water needs of the plants, and the micro-power micro-water pump 231 drives the nutrient solution to flow back to achieve closed-loop circulation, reducing waste and lowering management costs.
[0027] Specifically, this embodiment discloses an urban vertical planting and horticulture system for planting and cultivating plants on urban exterior walls, in indoor-outdoor connections, or indoors, as detailed below: The system consists of multiple stackable small components and a set of circulating drip irrigation components. The whole system can achieve the following through modular combination: wall-penetrating vertical planting, indoor water and fertilizer management for outdoor plants, and easy indoor planting management.
[0028] Each small component includes a curved cavity square brick 11 and a curved tube planting dish 12, which are detachably connected. The curved cavity square brick 11 is made of high-density plastic and has an overall rectangular structure with an internal arc-shaped cavity, the curvature of which is 1 / 4 of a standard circle. It is divided into an upper cavity 111 and a lower cavity 112, which are joined together by a vertical butt joint structure 113 at the edges; the side walls of both the upper cavity 111 and the lower cavity 112 have multiple arc-shaped openings 114 for embedding the curved tube planting dish 12.
[0029] The curved tube planting dish 12 is an elliptical arc-shaped tube, the curvature of which is precisely matched with the curved cavity structure of the curved cavity square brick 11; multiple air holes 118 are evenly distributed at its bottom end, which not only ensures root aeration but also allows excess water to permeate.
[0030] During assembly, the curved tube planting dish 12 is inserted into the curved cavity of the curved cavity square brick 11 through the arc-shaped opening 114. During disassembly, it can be directly pulled out to replace the soil or crops separately.
[0031] The circulating drip irrigation assembly includes a nutrient solution drip bottle 21, a siphon pipe 22, and a circulation pipe 23. The nutrient solution drip bottle 21 is made using PET blow molding technology, has a capacity of 1L or more, and has a concave bottom structure on its bottom surface that matches the raised structure 115 on the top of the upper cavity 111. It is fastened to the top of the uppermost curved cavity square brick 11 and is used to store diluted nutrient solution.
[0032] The siphon pipe 22 is made of silicone tubing, with one end connected to the outlet of the nutrient solution drip irrigation bottle 21, and the other end's seepage plug inserted into the soil of the curved tube planting dish 12 inside the uppermost curved cavity square brick 11. A flow regulator 221 is installed on the pipe to adjust the drip irrigation rate. Furthermore, the upper and lower curved cavity square bricks 11 are connected by a branch siphon pipe 22, with the overflow port 117 on the upper curved cavity square brick 11 connected to the lower curved tube planting dish 12, thus achieving a step-by-step transfer of nutrient solution from the upper to the lower layers.
[0033] The circulation pipeline 23 is made of PE pipe. One end is connected to the lower half cavity 112 of the bottom curved square brick 11, and the other end is connected to the return port of the nutrient solution drip irrigation bottle 21 through the micro-power micro water pump 231 to form a closed loop circulation.
[0034] The upper half of the curved cavity square brick 11 has two symmetrical protrusions 115 at its top edge, and the lower half of the cavity 112 has a corresponding concave bottom structure 116 at its bottom. When the upper and lower parts are staggered and stacked, the concave bottom structure 116 of the upper curved cavity square brick engages with the two adjacent protrusions 115 below, restricting axial displacement.
[0035] An overflow port 117 is opened on the side of the lower half cavity 112 of the curved cavity square brick 11. Its height is lower than the lowest point of the arc-shaped opening 114. Excess nutrient solution flows into the circulation pipe 23 through the overflow port 117.
[0036] Installation and Usage Procedures During installation, multiple curved cavity square bricks 11 are stacked one on top of the other. Curved tube planting dishes 12 are inserted into the arc-shaped openings 114 of the curved cavity square bricks 11. Hydroponics or soil cultivation of green plants or vegetables can be selected, and the number of curved tube planting dishes 12 inserted can be adjusted according to the planting density. A nutrient solution drip irrigation bottle 21 is attached to the raised structure 115 of the uppermost curved cavity square brick, and diluted nutrient solution is injected. To ensure siphon quality and meet the height difference requirements, staggered, layered drip irrigation is used to connect the siphon pipes 22. Finally, the circulation pipes 23 are assembled to complete the liquid circulation.
[0037] When the water flow regulator 221 of the siphon pipe 22 is opened, the nutrient solution drips from top to bottom into the water storage chambers of each curved tube planting dish 12 through siphon action. Excess water flows out from the vent 118 at the bottom, and then the excess liquid is discharged through the overflow port 117. It is then transferred downwards through the branching siphon pipes 22, and finally the liquid in the lowest curved cavity square brick 11 is drawn back into the nutrient solution drip bottle 21 by the micro-powered micro-pump 231 on the circulation pipe 23, completing the circulation. The siphon pipe 22 provides unpowered top-down liquid supply, and the circulation pipe 23 uses the micro-powered micro-pump 231 to achieve bottom liquid return. With proper overall circulation, considering evaporation factors, it can meet the requirement of only needing to replenish the nutrient solution or water once every few days, making it convenient for business trips and travel. Among them, the circulating drip irrigation component is generally used for pure hydroponic circulation with a large water flow rate. It is optional for soil-based planting projects with a small flow rate.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
