Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of landscaping technology, specifically to a combination flower box. Background Technology
[0002] Different types of combination flower boxes are widely used in urban greening construction, garden landscape construction, horticultural landscape exhibitions and many other aspects, playing a role in beautifying and greening people's living environment.
[0003] Some existing flower boxes are box-shaped structures that store potting soil inside before planting flowers and plants. However, some plants don't require much potting soil, and filling the entire flower box with soil leads to overuse of the soil. This increases the cost of setting up the flower boxes, and moving them becomes inconvenient. Furthermore, the pressure from the soil inside the flower boxes over time can cause them to deform.
[0004] The patent document with publication number CN208159459U discloses a flower box with artistic patterns. Through the overall research and development design of the flower box, base plate, support, reinforcing strip, drainage part and artistic pattern, a flower box with artistic patterns is made. The flower box requires the use of potting soil to fill the internal space of the flower box, and the amount of potting soil used is relatively large.
[0005] Patent document CN217407164U discloses a modular flower box with replaceable outer panels. This modular flower box features reinforcing ribs on the outer side of the lower part of the hollow flower box. These ribs enhance the overall strength of the lower part of the hollow flower box and prevent collapse or breakage of the lower part after flower pots are installed inside. The outer panels on the frame are easy to install and remove, and replacing the outer panels improves the aesthetics of the hollow flower box. However, this flower box still requires filling with potting soil, which can lead to overuse of the potting soil. Utility Model Content
[0006] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a combined flower box that can avoid excessive use of potting soil, prevent flower box deformation, and facilitate watering of flowers and plants planted in the potting soil.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: A combination flower box includes multiple independent boxes of equal width. Each independent box includes an upper box body with a lower box body fixed to its lower end. The upper and lower box bodies are concentric. Both the upper and lower boxes have outer frames fixed to their upper and lower ends. The four corners of the two outer frames are fixedly connected by four uprights. Fixed side plates are provided between two uprights on the left and right sides, and movable side plates are provided between two uprights on the front and rear sides. The movable side plates and the lower box body form a storage cavity. One storage cavity contains an inner plate fixed to the outside of the lower box body, and the other storage cavity contains a pressurizing device connected to the upper end of the lower box body. The flower box also includes a water pipe with its lower end near the bottom plate of the lower box body and its upper end penetrating the bottom plate of the upper box body. A first elbow is fixed to the upper end of the water pipe, and a rotating sleeve is fixed to the first elbow. A second elbow is rotatably and sealingly connected inside the rotating sleeve.
[0008] Specifically, one end of the movable side panel is rotatably connected to the upright on one side via a hinge, and the other end of the movable side panel is equipped with a latch. The latch's bolt is blocked by the upright on one side, and the movable side panel can be rotated open after the latch rotates.
[0009] Specifically, the pressurization device includes a support plate located in another storage chamber. The support plate is fixed to the outside of the lower housing. An air cylinder is fixed to the upper end of the support plate. The lower end of the air cylinder is connected to the interior of the upper end of the lower housing through an outlet pipe. An outlet one-way valve is installed on the outlet pipe. A piston is movably and sealed inside the air cylinder. A push rod is fixed to the upper end of the piston. A push plate is fixed to the upper end of the push rod. An inlet one-way valve is installed on the piston.
[0010] Specifically, the fixed side plate is detachably and fixedly connected to the uprights on both sides.
[0011] Specifically, the upper box and the lower box are of equal length, the left and right ends of the lower outer frame are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the lower box, and the inner side of the upper outer frame is fixedly connected to the outer side of the upper box.
[0012] Specifically, the inner and outer sides of both the upper and lower housings are provided with anti-corrosion layers.
[0013] Specifically, the push plate is connected to the upper end of the air cylinder by a spring.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. With a pressurization device, users can use a foot pedal to pump water from the lower chamber into the upper chamber, enabling convenient irrigation of plants without relying on external water pipe systems or complex installations. Routine maintenance only requires periodically replenishing water to the lower chamber, saving time and resources. The water storage design in the lower chamber increases the overall weight, preventing the flower box from tipping over or shifting during placement, making it especially suitable for windy outdoor environments. Both the upper and lower chambers are equipped with anti-corrosion layers, extending the lifespan of the combined flower box.
[0015] 2. Planting flowers and grasses is done by filling only the upper chamber with potting soil, avoiding excessive soil use and reducing material waste. The lower chamber's independent water storage design, combined with pressurized irrigation, reduces installation costs, eliminates the need for additional irrigation equipment, and supports multiple independent chambers to adapt to different scenarios and improve cost-effectiveness.
[0016] 3. The movable side panel design allows easy opening of the storage cavity for easy access to the pressurization device or maintenance; the added inner panel provides extra storage space for gardening supplies such as weeding tools, enhancing the practical value of the planter.
[0017] 4. The design of the second bend allows for flexible water filling, making operation simple, intuitive, and user-friendly. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0027] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1-7As shown, a combination flower box includes multiple individual boxes, all of which have the same width.
[0028] The independent case includes an upper case 10, with a lower case 11 fixed to the lower end of the upper case 10. The upper case 10 and the lower case 11 are concentric and have the same length. The inner and outer sides of both the upper case 10 and the lower case 11 are provided with anti-corrosion layers.
[0029] An outer frame 1 is fixed to the upper end of the upper box 10 and the lower end of the lower box 11. The left and right ends of the lower outer frame 1 are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the lower box 11, respectively. The inner side of the upper outer frame 1 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the upper box 10.
[0030] The four corners of the two outer frames 1 are fixedly connected by four uprights 2, and fixed side plates 12 are provided between the two uprights 2 on the left and right sides. Specifically, the fixed side plates 12 are detachably fixedly connected to the uprights 2 on both sides.
[0031] Movable side plates 3 are installed between the two uprights 2 on the front and rear sides, forming a storage cavity between the movable side plates 3 and the lower box 11. A pressurizing device is fixed in one of the storage cavities, and the pressurizing device is connected to the upper end of the lower box 11.
[0032] It also includes a water pipe 4, the lower end of which is close to the bottom plate of the lower housing 11, and the upper end of which penetrates the bottom plate of the upper housing 10. A first elbow 5 is fixed to the upper end of the water pipe 4, and a rotating sleeve 6 is fixed to the first elbow 5. A second elbow 7 is rotatably and sealingly connected inside the rotating sleeve 6.
[0033] One end of the movable side panel 3 is rotatably connected to the upright 2 on one side via a hinge 9. The other end of the movable side panel 3 is equipped with a latch 8. The latch tongue of the latch 8 is blocked by the upright 2 on one side. After the latch tongue of the latch 8 is rotated, the movable side panel 3 can be rotated open.
[0034] The pressurization device includes a support plate 13, which is located in another storage chamber. The support plate 13 is fixed to the outside of the lower housing 11. An air cylinder 14 is fixed to the upper end of the support plate 13. The lower end of the air cylinder 14 is connected to the interior of the upper end of the lower housing 11 through an outlet pipe 17. An outlet one-way valve 19 is installed on the outlet pipe 17. A piston 18 is movably and sealed inside the air cylinder 14. A push rod 15 is fixed to the upper end of the piston 18. A push plate is fixed to the upper end of the push rod 15. The push plate is connected to the upper end of the air cylinder 14 through a spring 16. An inlet one-way valve 20 is installed on the piston 18.
[0035] Multiple independent boxes of different heights can be combined to form a combination flower box.
[0036] The upper chamber 10 is used to store potting soil, in which flowers and plants can be planted. The second elbow 7 is rotated so that its free end faces upwards, allowing water to be added to the lower chamber 11 through the second elbow 7, the first elbow 5, and the water pipe 4. When adding water to the lower chamber 11, the hose passes through the second elbow 7 and the first elbow 5 into the water pipe 4. Water flows from the hose into the lower chamber 11, and air in the lower chamber 11 is expelled through the gaps between the hose, the water pipe 4, the first elbow 5, and the second elbow 7.
[0037] When watering the plants in the potting soil, open the movable side plate 3 on one side of the air cylinder 14, step on the push plate, and as the push plate moves downward, it drives the push rod 15 and piston 18 downward. When the piston 18 moves downward, the spring 16 is compressed, and the air in the air cylinder 14 is compressed into the lower chamber 11. At this time, the exhaust one-way valve 19 opens, and the intake one-way valve 20 closes. After the pressure in the lower chamber 11 increases, the water in the lower chamber 11 is discharged through the water pipe 4, the first elbow 5, and the second elbow 7 to irrigate the plants in the upper chamber 10. When the push plate is released, under the elastic force of the spring 16, the piston 18, push rod 15, and push plate move upward. At this time, the exhaust one-way valve 19 closes, and the intake one-way valve 20 opens, allowing outside air to enter the air cylinder 14 below the piston 18. By manually moving the piston 18, the pressure in the lower chamber 11 is increased, and the water in the lower chamber 11 is discharged to irrigate the plants in the upper chamber 10. During daily maintenance, there is no need to lay pipes to irrigate the plants in the upper chamber 10. It is only necessary to periodically replenish water to the lower chamber 11 using a water truck.
[0038] Storing water in the lower box 11 increases the overall weight of the individual boxes, improving their stability after placement. Placing only potting soil in the upper box 10 avoids excessive soil use and reduces the installation cost of the combined flower boxes.
[0039] Example 2: Based on Example 1, referring to... Figure 5 As shown, another storage cavity is provided with an inner plate 21, which is fixed to the outside of the lower box 11.
[0040] By installing an inner plate 21 in another storage cavity, weeding tools and other items can be placed in the storage cavity above the inner plate 21, improving the practicality of the independent box.
[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
