Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of cut flower care, and in particular to cut flower water circulation systems. Background Technology
[0002] Cut flowers, also known as fresh-cut flowers, refer to plant materials such as stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits cut from living plants and possessing ornamental value. To prolong the flowering period of cut flowers, they need to be provided with clear water. Traditionally, this requires daily manual water changes. To overcome this problem, publication number CN 220875435 U discloses a flower box with a circulating filtration function. This function filters out fallen petals and leaf fragments, as well as purifies wastewater, providing clean water for cut flowers. This saves water resources and eliminates the need for frequent daily water changes. While the filtration system reduces the frequency of water changes, circulating filtration cannot completely replace them. To ensure the extended flowering period, regular manual water changes are still necessary. Furthermore, the aforementioned flower box requires manual addition of sterilizing disinfectant. Adding sterilizing disinfectant manually requires careful attention to the proportions; excessive amounts can kill the cut flowers. Utility Model Content

The drainage device includes a drain pipe and a drain pump, with one end of the drain pipe inserted into the drainage area. The partition plates include an upper through plate and a lower through plate. The bottom of the upper through plate is connected to the circulation tank, and its top is lower than the top of the circulation tank. The top of the lower through plate is higher than the top of the upper through plate, and its bottom does not contact the bottom of the circulation tank. The partition plates between the water inlet area and the filtration area, and between the circulation area and the drainage area, are both upper through plates.

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0018] Example: A fresh-cut flower water circulation system includes a circulation tank 1, a filtration device, a sterilization device, a circulation device, a water inlet device, and a drainage device. The circulation tank 1 is provided with several partitions 2, which sequentially divide the circulation tank 1 into a water inlet zone 11, a filtration zone 12, a sterilization zone 13, a circulation zone 14, and a drainage zone 15. The water inlet device includes a water inlet pipe 3 connected to a water source, with one end of the water inlet pipe 3 inserted into the water inlet zone 11. The drainage device includes a drain pipe 72 and a drain pump 71, with one end of the drain pipe 72 inserted into the drainage zone 15. A water inlet solenoid valve can be installed on the water inlet pipe 3 and connected to a control device 8, which controls water exchange. The partitions 2 include an upper through plate 21 and a lower through plate 22. The bottom of the upper through plate 21 is connected to the circulation tank 1, and its top is lower than... The top of the circulation tank 1, i.e., the top of the circulating water can flow through the top of the upper plate 21. The top of the lower plate 22 is higher than the top of the upper plate, and its bottom does not contact the bottom of the circulation tank 1, i.e., the circulating water can flow through the bottom of the lower plate 22. The partition plate between the water inlet zone 11 and the filter zone 12 is the upper plate 21. The partition plate between the circulation zone 14 and the drainage zone 15 is the upper plate 21. The upper plate near the drainage zone 15 can be slightly higher than the other upper plates so that the circulating water does not enter the drainage zone 15 when the water is not being changed. When changing the water, water is supplied to the water inlet zone 11 through the water inlet pipe 3, so that the overall water level of the circulation tank 1 rises. The circulating water passes over the upper plate of the drainage zone 15 and enters the drainage zone 15. The water is discharged by the drainage pump for water change. There is no need for manual water change, making it more convenient to use.
[0019] During use, a flower arrangement box 9 is installed on the circulation box 1. The circulating water that has been filtered and sterilized in the circulation box is transported to the flower arrangement box 9 through the circulation device. The flower arrangement box is also equipped with a water outlet pipe 91, which is located above the filtration device. The water outlet pipe 91 can send the circulating water in the flower arrangement box 9 back to the circulation box 1 for filtration and sterilization.
[0020] Furthermore, the filter device is installed in the filter zone 12. The filter device includes a biochemical filter cotton 41 and an activated carbon filter material 42. The biochemical filter cotton 41 is located in the upper part of the filter zone 12 and can remove large particulate impurities. The activated carbon filter material 42 is located in the lower part of the filter zone 12 and can remove small particulate impurities.
[0021] Furthermore, two partition plates are provided between the filtration zone 12 and the sterilization zone 13. The partition plate closer to the filtration zone 12 is the lower passage plate 22, so that the water flowing into the flower box 1 can only flow into the sterilization zone 13 after passing through the biochemical filter cotton 41 and the activated carbon filter material 42 in sequence. The partition plate closer to the sterilization zone 13 is the upper passage plate 23, so that the circulating water entering the sterilization zone flows in from the upper part of the sterilization zone 13.
[0022] Furthermore, the sterilization device includes an ozone generator 51 and an ultraviolet germicidal lamp 52. The ozone generator 51 is installed outside the circulation tank 1 and connected to the sterilization zone 13 via a delivery pipe. The ultraviolet germicidal lamp 52 is installed at the bottom of the sterilization zone. The sterilization device sterilizes the circulating water, preventing it from becoming sticky and smelly due to bacterial growth, which could affect the flowering period of the cut flowers. Additionally, it eliminates the need for manual addition of sterilizing disinfectant, making operation more convenient and preventing the cut flowers from being burned due to incorrect proportions of sterilizing disinfectant. Preferably, a third-stage filter material 53, such as a compressed activated carbon filter or precision PP cotton, can be installed above the sterilization zone 13 to further improve the filtration effect during sterilization.
[0023] Furthermore, two partition plates are provided between the sterilization zone 13 and the circulation zone 14. The partition plate closer to the sterilization zone 13 is the lower through plate 22, and the partition plate closer to the circulation zone 14 is the upper through plate 21. The circulating water entering the sterilization zone 13 flows from top to bottom through the entire sterilization zone before flowing into the circulation zone, so as to ensure a better sterilization effect.
[0024] Furthermore, the circulation device includes a circulating water pump 61 and a water delivery pipe 62. The circulating water pump 61 is preferably a variable frequency water pump, which delivers the filtered and sterilized circulating water into the flower arrangement box 9.
[0025] Furthermore, the drainage device also includes a liquid level sensor 73, which is installed in the drainage area 15. After the water in the drainage area reaches a certain safe level, the drainage pump 71 starts to drain automatically.
[0026] Furthermore, the circulating tank is also equipped with a control device 8, which is electrically connected to the sterilization device, the circulating water pump 61, the liquid level sensor 73 and the drain water pump 71. The water exchange and sterilization can be controlled by the control device 8.
[0027] This utility model is not limited to the above-described preferred embodiments. Anyone can derive other forms of products under the guidance of this utility model. However, regardless of any changes made in their shape or structure, any technical solution that is the same as or similar to this application falls within the protection scope of this utility model.
