[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "setting" should be interpreted broadly. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this patent can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0017] Reference Figures 1-4 A water-saving flower box suitable for long-term irrigation-free use in high-altitude towns includes a box body 1 made of HDPE material. A placement rack 2 is fixedly installed inside the box body 1. The placement rack 2 can divide the internal space of the box body 1 into a planting chamber 3 and a water storage chamber 4 distributed vertically. The planting chamber 3 is located above the placement rack 2 and is used to support the plant planting structure. The water storage chamber 4 is used to store irrigation water and provide a stable water source for subsequent automatic water supply.

[0018] A horizontal partition 6 is fixedly installed inside the water storage tank 4. The upper area of ​​the water storage tank 4 can be divided into an expansion space 7 by the horizontal partition 6. The expansion space 7 is filled with water-conducting filter cotton, which can cover the top of the horizontal partition 6. It can filter soil particles and other impurities that seep in from the planting chamber 3, preventing impurities from clogging the subsequent water supply structure or settling at the bottom of the water storage tank 4. At the same time, the expansion space 7 can provide a buffer space for the water in the water storage tank 4 to freeze during the winter in the plateau, avoiding damage to the water storage tank 4 due to the pressure generated by the expansion of ice, and ensuring that the flower box can operate for a long time in the cold and harsh environment of the plateau.

[0019] The planting chamber 3 is equipped with a modular planting system, which includes a planting plate 5 located inside the planting chamber 3 and multiple circular planting cups 10 arranged in a matrix on the top of the planting plate 5. The planting plate 5 is placed on top of the placement rack 2, and two protrusions are fixedly provided on both sides of the planting plate 5. The ends of the protrusions slide in contact with the inner wall of the main body 1. This structure can guide the planting plate 5 to be accurately positioned on the placement rack 2, while reducing the friction between the planting plate 5 and the inner wall of the main body 1, making it convenient to load and unload the planting plate 5. If the planting layout needs to be adjusted later, the planting plate 5 can also be easily moved and removed through the hand grooves 501 on both sides of the planting plate 5. Multiple round planting cups 10 are used for planting plants. Each round planting cup 10 has a limiting groove 16 on its bottom inner wall, and each round planting cup 10 is equipped with a water-absorbing cotton rope 11. Each water-absorbing cotton rope 11 is fixedly fitted with a limiting ring 17. During installation, the limiting ring 17 is fixedly embedded in the corresponding limiting groove 16. The upper and lower positions of the water-absorbing cotton rope 11 can be fixed by the cooperation between the limiting ring 17 and the limiting groove 16, so as to prevent the water-absorbing cotton rope 11 from shifting or falling off the round planting cup 10 during use, and to ensure the stability of the water delivery path.

[0020] The water storage and irrigation system inside the main body 1 is centered around multiple absorbent cotton ropes 11. Each absorbent cotton rope 11 is located within the expansion space 7 and corresponds to multiple circular planting cups 10. The top of each absorbent cotton rope 11 passes through the top of its corresponding circular planting cup 10 and extends into the interior of the cup. The bottom of each rope passes through multiple through holes in the horizontal partition 6 and extends into the water storage tank 4. The through holes in the horizontal partition 6 correspond one-to-one with the multiple circular planting cups 10. During daily use, water in the water storage tank 4 is transported upwards through the capillary action of the absorbent cotton ropes 11. The cotton rope material continuously and stably absorbs water and slowly delivers it to the plant roots within the circular planting cups 10. No daily manual watering is required, and even in situations where professional maintenance personnel are scarce, the water needs for plant growth can be met, achieving an ultra-long maintenance-free period for the flower box.

[0021] A water inlet pipe 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the main body 1 of the tank. The water inlet pipe 12 is connected to the interior of the water storage tank 4. A sealing cap is installed on the water inlet pipe 12. When filling the water storage tank 4, the sealing cap can be opened to connect the water source to the water inlet pipe 12. At the same time, a water level gauge 13 is fixedly embedded on the other side of the main body 1 of the tank. The water level gauge 13 is connected to the interior of the water storage tank 4. During the water filling process, the water level gauge 13 can be used to visually observe the changes in the water volume in the water storage tank 4, accurately control the water volume, and avoid overfilling or underfilling to meet the needs of long-term use. Moreover, the water storage status can be viewed without opening the tank, reducing operation steps. After filling the water, the water inlet pipe 12 is closed and the sealing cap is tightened to prevent water evaporation or external impurities from entering the water storage tank 4.

[0022] An opening is provided on one side of the main body 1 of the tank. A baffle 8 is sealed and fixedly connected to the opening. The baffle 8 can protect the internal structure of the water storage tank 4. A cover plate 9 is attached to the outside of the opening via a snap-fit ​​assembly. The snap-fit ​​assembly includes two slots 101 at the bottom of the opening. The bottom of the cover plate 9 is fixedly connected to a corresponding insert block. Positioning blocks 901 are fixedly provided on both sides of the cover plate 9. Positioning holes corresponding to the two positioning blocks 901 are provided on both sides of the opening. When maintenance and cleaning of the water storage tank 4 are required, the positioning blocks 901 on both sides of the cover plate 9 can be removed from the corresponding positioning holes. Then, the cover plate 9 can be lifted up so that the bottom insert can be pulled out of the slot 101. After removing the cover plate 9, the baffle 8 can be removed to clean the inside of the water storage tank 4 or drain water through the drain pipe 14 fixed at the bottom of the main body 1. The drain pipe 14 is connected to the inside of the water storage tank 4 and is equipped with a valve. Opening the valve can drain the accumulated water or sewage in the water storage tank 4. The whole maintenance process is simple to operate and reduces the difficulty of maintenance.

[0023] The bottom of the main body 1 of the flower box is fixedly connected with multiple omnidirectional wheels 15 with brakes. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the flower box to meet the needs of urban landscape layout, simply release the brake device of the omnidirectional wheels 15 and push the main body 1 of the flower box to move it. The omnidirectional wheels 15 can flexibly turn to adapt to different directions of movement. After reaching the target position, lock the brake device of the omnidirectional wheels 15 to fix the position of the flower box and prevent accidental sliding. This allows the flower box to be moved easily and meet the needs of flexible landscape layout. At the same time, the independent round planting cups 10 facilitate the quick replacement and combination of plants. The modular layout not only enhances the aesthetics of the landscape but also further reduces the difficulty of daily maintenance.

[0024] Working principle: When using for the first time, first check the installation status of the absorbent cotton rope 11: ensure that the bottom end of each absorbent cotton rope 11 passes through the corresponding through hole on the horizontal partition 6, and that the through hole corresponds one-to-one with the position of the circular planting cup 10. The top of the absorbent cotton rope 11 should extend completely into the interior of the circular planting cup 10. At the same time, the limiting ring 17 on the cotton rope should be completely embedded in the limiting groove 16 on the bottom inner wall of the planting cup. The cooperation between the limiting ring 17 and the limiting groove 16 can fix the upper and lower positions of the absorbent cotton rope 11, prevent the cotton rope from shifting or falling off the planting cup during use, and ensure the stability of the water delivery path. At this time, you can also check whether the water-guiding filter cotton in the expansion space 7 is laid flat and can cover the top of the horizontal partition 6. The filter cotton can then filter impurities that seep in from the planting chamber 3.

[0025] Open the sealing cap on the water inlet pipe 12 on one side of the main body 1 of the tank, connect the water source to the water inlet pipe 12 and fill the water storage tank 4. During the filling process, it is necessary to continuously observe the water level gauge 13 on the other side of the tank. The water level gauge 13 is connected to the inside of the water storage tank 4 and can intuitively display the changes in the water volume in the tank. The water level gauge 13 can accurately control the water volume to avoid water overflow due to excessive filling or insufficient filling to meet the needs of long-term use. At the same time, the water storage status can be understood without opening the tank, reducing the operation steps. After the water level reaches the reasonable range shown by the water level gauge 13 and the volume required for the expansion space 7 is reserved, close the water inlet pipe 12 and tighten the sealing cap to prevent water evaporation or impurities from entering.

[0026] Place the pre-planted round planting cups 10 one by one into the matrix holes at the top of the planting board 5. The mesh or porous structure at the bottom of the planting cups should be in contact with the top of the absorbent cotton rope 11 to ensure that the water can penetrate smoothly into the soil inside the planting cups. The porous structure does not hinder the water delivery of the cotton rope and allows the plant roots to breathe, avoiding water accumulation in the soil and root rot. Then, hold the hand grooves 501 on both sides of the planting board 5 and place the planting board 5 horizontally on the placement rack 2 inside the main body 1 of the box. The protrusions on both sides of the planting board 5 should fit against the inner wall of the main body 1 of the box. When pushing the planting board 5, the protrusions slide along the inner wall. The protrusions can not only guide the planting board 5 to be accurately positioned on the placement rack 2, but also reduce the friction between the planting board 5 and the inner wall of the box, making it easy to load and unload. If the planting layout needs to be adjusted later, the planting board 5 can also be easily removed through the hand grooves 501. During daily use, the water in the water storage tank 4 is transported upward through the capillary action of the absorbent cotton rope 11. The cotton rope material can continuously and stably absorb water and slowly transport it to the plant roots in the round planting cup 10. There is no need for daily manual watering. Even when there is a shortage of professional maintenance personnel, it can meet the water needs of plant growth and achieve long-term maintenance-free operation. At the same time, the expansion space 7 above the water storage tank 4 will play a role in the high-altitude winter. When the water in the tank freezes and expands in volume, the expansion space 7 can provide a buffer space to prevent the water storage tank 4 from being damaged due to excessive pressure. The water-conducting filter cotton will intercept soil particles and other impurities that seep in from the planting tank 3, preventing impurities from clogging the absorbent cotton rope 11 or settling at the bottom of the water storage tank 4, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the water storage irrigation system and improving the durability of the flower box in the cold and impurity-rich environment of the high altitude. When the position of the flower box needs to be adjusted to meet the requirements of urban landscape design, simply release the braking device of the universal wheel 15 at the bottom of the main body 1 of the flower box and push the flower box to move it. The universal wheel 15 can turn flexibly to adapt to different directions of movement. After reaching the target position, lock the braking device of the universal wheel 15 to fix the position of the flower box and prevent accidental sliding.
