Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rainwater irrigation technology, and in particular to a rain garden structure. Background Technology
[0002] Current methods of cultivating flowers and plants involve collecting rainwater and irrigating them with workers or placing them in open-air locations to be directly watered by rain. However, for flowers and plants with thin leaves and delicate petals, being exposed to rain is not a good option. Rainwater wetting the leaves can easily breed mold, and water accumulation on double-petaled petals can accelerate rotting.
[0003] When watering manually, you need to slowly pour water along the edge of the flowerpot, allowing the water to slowly soak into the roots from the bottom soil. Alternatively, you can use the bottom watering method to allow the soil to absorb enough water from the bottom up. This method can meet the growth needs and avoid the risk of the leaves getting wet directly. However, this method is more laborious and time-consuming. Utility Model Content
[0004] In response to the technical problems existing in the background art, the utility model provides a rain garden structure, which solves the problem mentioned in the background art that, in the process of cultivating flowers and plants, it is not a good choice to expose them to rain in the open air.

Detailed Implementation
[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.
[0015] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0016] Example like Figures 1-4 As shown, a rain garden structure includes a rain collection component 1, a support component 2, and an irrigation component 3. The support component 2 is located at the lower end of the side of the rain collection component 1, and the irrigation component 3 is located at the lower end of the support component 2. The rain collection component 1 includes a rain collection tray 11, and the lower end of the rain collection tray 11 is connected to a water storage tank 12 through a water pipe 111. The support component 2 includes a support wall 21, and the water storage tank 12 is fixed to the upper end of the support wall 21. A first flower rack 22 is fixed to the inner side of the support wall 21, and multiple movably mounted on the first flower rack 22 are... The second flower stand 23 is connected to the first flower stand 22 by a sleeve. The second flower stand 23 can rotate on the first flower stand 22. A support base 231 is fixed on the second flower stand 23, and a flower pot 4 is installed on the support base 231. The irrigation component 3 includes an irrigation pipe 31. The upper end of the irrigation pipe 31 is connected to the water storage tank 12. Multiple sets of seepage pipes 33 are provided at the lower end of the irrigation pipe 31. The seepage pipes 33 are connected to the irrigation pipe 31 through a connecting pipe 32. The seepage pipes 33 are installed inside the flower pot 4.
[0017] During use, the rain collection tray 11 collects rainwater from the open air, preventing it from directly hitting the leaves and petals of the plants. The water pipe 111 guides the rainwater collected by the rain collection tray 11 to the water storage tank 12 for storage. The water storage tank 12 stores the rainwater transported by the water pipe 111, providing a water source for subsequent controlled irrigation. The supporting wall 21 supports the water storage tank 12 above and provides an installation foundation for the first flower stand 22 through its inner space. The irrigation pipe 31 is the channel for transporting rainwater in the water storage tank 12. The seepage pipe 33 and the connecting pipe 32 directly guide the rainwater transported by the irrigation pipe 31 into the soil of the flowerpot 4, replenishing the roots of the plants through soil infiltration, thus achieving "root irrigation". This method completely avoids water contact with the leaves and petals, meeting the water needs of the plants while preventing mold growth on the leaves and rotting of the petals due to water accumulation.
[0018] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an irrigation valve 311 is installed at the upper end of the irrigation pipe 31, and a drain valve 312 is installed at the lower end of the irrigation pipe 31. The irrigation valve 311 is the main control valve of the irrigation system. The rainwater collected in the water storage tank 12 may contain a small amount of impurities such as mud, sand, and fallen leaves. After long-term use, these impurities will accumulate at the bottom of the irrigation pipe 31 and the connecting pipe 32. When the drain valve 312 is opened, the impurities can be discharged directly to avoid pipe blockage.
[0019] like Figures 1-4As shown, each of the multiple sets of drainage pipes 33 and connecting pipes 32 is equipped with a drainage valve 34. The drainage valve 34 is an independent control switch for the irrigation system of a single flowerpot 4, which can be opened or closed individually. The connecting pipe 32 is made of flexible hose, which connects the irrigation pipe 31 and the drainage pipe 33. It has the characteristics of being flexible and stretchable, and can be flexibly deformed with the rotation of the second flower stand 23.
[0020] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the lower end of the flowerpot 4 has multiple sets of drainage holes 41. The drainage holes 41 are channels for draining excess water from the flowerpot 4, which can promptly remove water from the soil that exceeds the plant's needs.
[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the lower end of the irrigation pipe 31 is attached to the first flower rack 22, and the lower end of the irrigation pipe 31 is fixed to the first flower rack 22 by the fixing ring 221. The structure of the first flower rack 22 can provide support for the irrigation pipe 31, preventing the irrigation pipe 31 from shaking due to its own weight or water flow impact. The attached installation can make the direction of the irrigation pipe 31 more in line with the flower rack layout, reducing the redundant space occupied by the pipe around the flower rack.
[0022] In the use of the rain garden structure, when it rains, the rain collection tray 11 automatically collects the rainwater. The rainwater flows through the drainage pipe 111 into the storage tank 12, preventing rainwater from directly hitting the leaves and petals of the flowers. In case of drought or when artificial watering is needed, the irrigation valve 311 is opened first, allowing the rainwater in the storage tank 12 to enter the irrigation pipe 31. Then, according to the water needs of the plants in each flowerpot 4, the seepage valve 34 of the corresponding seepage pipe 33 is opened individually, while the other seepage valves 34 remain closed. The rainwater will then seep directly into the soil of the flowerpot 4 through the connecting pipe 32 and the seepage pipe 33, replenishing the water for the plant roots and achieving "…". "Root irrigation" During the irrigation process, if the soil moisture exceeds the plant's needs, the excess water will be drained in time through the drainage hole 41 at the bottom of the flowerpot 4 to prevent root rot. After irrigation, simply close the corresponding seepage valve 34 and the main irrigation valve 311. After long-term use, if the water flow in the pipes slows down, the drain valve 312 can be opened periodically to drain the mud, sand, and debris deposited at the bottom of the irrigation pipe 31 and connecting pipe 32 to avoid pipe blockage. At the same time, the position of the second flower rack 23 can be adjusted according to the plant's growth. The flexible connecting pipe 32 will flexibly adapt to the rotation of the flower rack to ensure that the irrigation system always operates stably.
[0023] This is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
