Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of flower and plant planting pots, and specifically relates to a flower pot. Background Technology

[0002] There are various types of plants grown in pots. Some plants are drought-tolerant, while others require ample water. Therefore, different plants have different watering frequencies. However, with a large number of potted plants, it's difficult to balance the watering frequency for all types, as they are easily forgotten. Generally, the amount of water is controlled directly, which greatly increases the frequency of watering. Some flowerpots have water storage structures, which can reduce watering frequency. However, for ease of watering, they generally use open or interlocking designs. But open designs result in greater water evaporation, thus wasting water and also increasing the frequency of watering. Furthermore, some plants have different water requirements at different stages, making it difficult for the same flowerpot to suit all their needs.

[0003] Pot cultivation is a plant cultivation experiment conducted under artificially controlled conditions. Plants are grown in specially designed containers to simulate and control growth conditions such as water, nutrients, temperature, and light, in order to accurately measure the impact of each experimental factor on plant growth. Coffee has relatively high requirements for light, temperature, and water, especially water; too much or too little water is detrimental. Because water is difficult to control, pot cultivation is challenging. Furthermore, water requirements vary at different stages. In pot cultivation experiments, seedlings generally require low water and soil moisture; during the subsequent developmental stages (flowering and fruiting), water requirements increase significantly, and the soil must be kept consistently moist; water requirements decrease during the ripening stage, approaching those of the seedling stage.

[0004] Chinese patent announcement number "CN217957944U" discloses a multifunctional flower pot for flower planting. The flower pot has a water storage structure, but the opening structure is prone to foreign objects entering and causing blockage, and it is easy to evaporate, which wastes water resources and is not suitable for promotion and trial use in coffee potted plants. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a more practical flower pot.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: A flowerpot includes a pot body, a partition, a cover plate, and a water supply pipe. The pot body is divided into a water storage chamber and a planting chamber by the partition. The planting chamber is located above the water storage chamber. The water storage chamber and the planting chamber absorb water from bottom to top through the water supply strip using capillary action. The outer periphery of the planting chamber is provided with an annular water injection chamber. The water injection chamber is sealed by the cover plate to form a closed chamber. The water injection chamber is sealed to the water storage chamber through the water supply pipe.

[0007] The advantages of this design are: it can be used as a regular flowerpot as well as a tool for potted plant experiments. The cover structure prevents foreign objects from falling into the water filling chamber, avoiding the breeding of mosquitoes in summer and preventing blockage of the water supply pipe. The water filling chamber is located at the top for easy watering, while the water storage chamber is located at the bottom, allowing gravity to adjust the moisture content within the planting chamber, preventing the planting soil from becoming excessively dry or too wet, which would affect aeration. Because the water filling chamber is a sealed chamber, under atmospheric pressure, no air enters the water filling chamber, so the stored water in the water filling chamber will not automatically enter the water storage chamber. This allows for control of the water level in the water storage chamber, preventing excessive water from entering the planting soil and affecting plant growth. In other words, no further watering is needed after planting, making planting more convenient. When conducting coffee potted plant experiments, the height of the water supply pipe and the effective amount of water used by the water supply strip can be adjusted to change the water absorption capacity and control the soil moisture level according to the water requirements of coffee at different stages.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper end of the basin is provided with an outwardly protruding and upwardly inclined annular cone, the water injection chamber is located inside the cone, and the cover plate is annular and located above the cone. This design is convenient to manufacture, can be injection molded in one piece, and has a simple structure and low cost.

[0009] Furthermore, the cover plate includes a sealing rubber plate and a mounting ring. The mounting ring is fixed to the upper end of the basin, and one side of the sealing rubber plate is fixed to the mounting ring. The other side can be elastically deformed and moved under pressure. This design facilitates water filling, that is, simply by squeezing the sealing rubber plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the sealing rubber plate is annular, with the outer side of the annular sealing rubber plate in sealing contact with the inner wall of the cone via the mounting ring, and the inner side of the annular sealing rubber plate in sealing contact with the outer wall of the basin. The outer side of the sealing rubber plate is sealed by the pressure of the mounting ring, while the inner side is sealed by elasticity.

[0011] Furthermore, the mounting ring is equipped with multiple water injection holes, which facilitates water injection at different angles.

[0012] Furthermore, after the water pipe enters the water storage chamber, it extends downwards to a certain height. This allows the water level to be adjusted by changing the length of the water pipe. The lower the water level, the less water the pipe can absorb and the drier the planting soil becomes, and vice versa.

[0013] Furthermore, the partition is equipped with multiple water inlets, and water strips are installed inside the water inlets. The water supply capacity can be adjusted by changing the number of water strips to accommodate different types of plants.

[0014] Furthermore, the partition is provided with external threads and is installed into the basin through these threads, which facilitates manufacturing.

[0015] Furthermore, the mounting ring includes an annular portion and a cylindrical portion, the cylindrical portion being threaded and fixed to the upper end of the basin by the thread, which makes the design and manufacturing simpler and the cost lower.

[0016] Furthermore, the sealing rubber plate includes an annular piece and a sealing ring. The sealing ring is positioned between the mounting ring and the cone and maintains a seal with the cone under the action of the mounting ring. The annular piece is located below the annular part of the mounting ring, and the inner ring of the annular piece forms a seal with the outer wall of the basin. This design facilitates processing and installation, and provides good sealing performance.

[0017] Furthermore, the water supply pipe is made of corrugated pipe or elastic material, which can be bent within a certain range and has a certain rigidity. The end of the water supply pipe is equipped with a pipe clamp, and the pipe clamp is equipped with an adjusting screw. The adjusting screw matches the threaded hole of the partition through the thread. The upper end of the adjusting screw is higher than the pot body, so that the height of the pipe clamp can be adjusted by adjusting the adjusting screw after planting coffee. This allows for adjustments as needed, such as adjusting the height of the water supply pipe at different stages of coffee production. Attached Figure Description

The pot body 1 is divided by the partition 2 into a water storage chamber 5 and a planting chamber 6. The planting chamber 6 is located above the water storage chamber 5 and can hold planting soil. The water storage chamber 5 and the planting chamber 6 absorb water from bottom to top using capillary action via a water supply strip 7. The outer periphery of the planting chamber 6 has an annular water inlet chamber 8. The annular shape has a large volume and saves material; other shapes are also possible but less aesthetically pleasing. The water inlet chamber 8 is sealed by the cover 3 to form a closed chamber. The cover 3 can be fixed by threads and has a sealing structure made of silicone or rubber. The water inlet chamber 8 is sealed to the water storage chamber 5 via the water supply pipe 4. The cover 3 can be designed as a bottle cap structure, and a threaded bottle mouth structure can be provided in the water inlet chamber 8 to match the cover 3.

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the upper end of the basin 1 is provided with an annular cone 9 that protrudes outward and extends upward at an angle, the water injection chamber 8 is located inside the cone 9, and the cover plate 3 is annularly located above the cone 9.

[0022] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the cover plate 3 includes a sealing rubber plate 31 and a mounting ring 32. The mounting ring 32 is fixed to the upper end of the basin 1. One side of the sealing rubber plate 31 is fixed to the mounting ring 32, and the other side can be elastically deformed and moved under pressure.

[0023] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the sealing rubber plate 31 is annular, and the outer side of the annular sealing rubber plate 31 is in sealing contact with the inner wall of the cone 9 through the mounting ring 32, while the inner side of the annular sealing rubber plate 31 is in sealing contact with the outer wall of the basin 1.

[0024] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the mounting ring 32 has multiple water inlet holes 33. The water supply pipe 4 enters the water storage chamber 5 and extends downwards to a certain height. The partition 2 has multiple water supply holes 71, and the water supply strip 7 is installed in the water supply holes 71.
