Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant cultivation technology, and in particular to a planting container for preventing root rot and promoting survival in deep-rooted tree species. Background Technology

[0002] In landscaping, ecological restoration, and forestry production, container seedling cultivation has become an important method for seedling cultivation due to its advantages such as ease of management, convenient transportation, and high survival rate after transplanting. However, traditional seedling containers generally suffer from root entanglement problems during application, especially for deep-rooted tree species. This problem is more prominent for deep-rooted tree species, which typically have well-developed taproots and roots that grow vertically downwards. However, conventional containers often adopt a cylindrical shape with equal width at the top and bottom, and their internal space lacks directional guidance for root growth. When the roots of deep-rooted tree species grow in such containers, due to the ample lateral space and lack of a clear longitudinal path for guidance, the taproot tends to deviate from its vertical growth direction, while the lateral roots expand disorderly within the container, ultimately forming a "root entanglement" phenomenon. Therefore, a planting container for deep-rooted tree species to prevent root entanglement and promote survival is proposed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing the following technical solution: Planting containers for deep-rooted tree species to prevent root rot and promote survival include: A fixing plate is provided with multiple sets of mounting holes; The implantation assembly includes an implanter that engages within the mounting hole. The implanter includes two symmetrically arranged implantation units, connecting blocks on both sides of the implantation unit, and sleeves that engage with the adjacent connecting blocks. The implantation unit has three cavities from top to bottom: a first cavity, a second cavity, and a third cavity. The first cavities of the two implantation units enclose a cylindrical area, the second cavities of the two implantation units enclose a conical area, and the third cavities of the two implantation units enclose a bottom hole. The sidewalls of the implantation unit have multiple sets of through holes along their axial direction.

[0004] As an improvement to the above technical solution, a fixing ring is fixedly sleeved on the side wall of the planting unit above the through hole, and the inner wall of the fixing ring and the outer wall of the planting unit form a storage area.

[0005] As an improvement to the above technical solution, a cotton rope is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage area, and the other end of the cotton rope is located within the conical area.

[0006] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the ratio of the height to the width of the implanter is 3:1.

[0007] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the diameter of the conical region gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0008] As an improvement to the above technical solution, a slot is provided on the side of the two sets of adjacent connecting blocks that are far apart from each other, and a limiting plate adapted to the slot is integrally formed on the inner wall of the sleeve.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: The three-tiered planting space, consisting of cylindrical, conical, and bottom holes, forms a synergistic guiding mechanism. The cylindrical area provides a moderate lateral buffer for the roots during the seedling stage, preventing initial growth restriction. The conical area narrows from top to bottom, using shape constraints to force the roots to grow vertically, reducing disorderly horizontal coiling at the root source. The bottom hole serves as a clear exit, guiding the taproot to break through the container. The multiple perforations on the sidewalls of the planting unit achieve a dual function of air permeability and drainage: on the one hand, they prevent water accumulation that could lead to root rot, and on the other hand, they ensure the flow of oxygen needed for root respiration, creating a loose and aerobic growing environment for the roots.

[0012] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0013] Planting containers for deep-rooted tree species to prevent root rot and promote survival include: The fixing plate 10 has multiple sets of mounting holes 11. The planting assembly 20 includes a planting device that is snapped into the mounting hole 11. The planting device includes two symmetrically arranged planting units 21, connecting blocks 25 connected to both sides of the planting unit 21, and a sleeve 26 snapped into the adjacent connecting blocks 25. The planting unit 21 has a cavity 1 211, a cavity 212, and a cavity 3 sequentially formed from top to bottom. The cavities 1 211 of the two planting units 21 enclose a cylindrical area, the cavities 212 of the two planting units 21 enclose a conical area, and the cavities 3 of the two planting units 21 enclose a bottom hole 22. The sidewall of the planting unit 21 has multiple sets of through holes 24 along its axial direction.

[0014] Specifically, the planter uses two sets of symmetrical planting units 21 to form a three-level gradually changing planting space. The cylindrical area provides a stable initial growth space for the roots of seedlings, ensuring sufficient buffering when the roots expand laterally. The conical area gradually narrows with increasing depth, using its shape to guide the roots to grow vertically downwards, rather than randomly coiling horizontally, which conforms to the growth habits of deep-rooted tree species. The bottom hole 22 serves as an outlet for the roots to extend downwards, ultimately guiding the main root to break through the container's limitations and form a deep root system. Multiple sets of through holes 24 opened axially on the sidewalls of the planting unit 21 allow for ventilation and drainage, preventing water accumulation in the container and root rot, while ensuring the flow of oxygen needed for root respiration. The symmetrically assembled planting units 21 are fixed by connecting blocks 25 and clips 26, facilitating later disassembly. When transplanting is needed, the container can be easily opened to avoid damaging the roots during disassembly, further protecting the integrity of the root system.

[0015] In one embodiment, a fixing ring 23 is fixedly sleeved on the side wall of the planting unit 21 above the through hole 24. The inner wall of the fixing ring 23 and the outer wall of the planting unit 21 form a storage area. A cotton rope 27 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage area. The other end of the cotton rope 27 is located in the conical area. Water is stored in the storage area. The water in the storage area is adsorbed by the capillary action of the cotton rope 27 and continuously and slowly transported to the soil in the planter along the cotton rope. One end of the cotton rope is fixed to the bottom of the storage area and contacts the water source, while the other end reaches the conical area, forming a water transmission channel.

[0016] In one embodiment, the height-to-width ratio of the planter is 3:1. Deep-rooted tree species have well-developed taproots and require sufficient vertical space to extend downwards. The 3:1 height-to-width ratio gives the planter a "slender" structure. The vertical height provides more sufficient vertical growth path for the roots, avoiding the root system from preferentially expanding horizontally due to excessive lateral space, which could lead to root entanglement.

[0017] In one embodiment, the diameter of the conical region gradually decreases from top to bottom, with a larger diameter at the top that smoothly connects to the upper cylindrical region, providing a certain buffer space for the lateral expansion of the seedling roots. As the depth increases, the diameter gradually decreases, and the lateral space is continuously compressed. This "wide at the top and narrow at the bottom" gradual structure creates a physical constraint on the roots. When the roots grow to the second cavity, the space for lateral expansion becomes increasingly limited. If they continue to grow laterally, they will be squeezed by the container wall, while growing downwards allows them to obtain a smoother path along the narrowing channel, forcing the roots, especially the taproot, to extend downwards preferentially.

[0018] In one embodiment, a slot is provided on the side of the two adjacent connecting blocks 25 that are far apart from each other. The inner wall of the sleeve 26 is integrally formed with a limiting plate 261 that matches the slot. The planting assembly consists of two sets of symmetrical planting units 21. When the two sets of planting units 21 are assembled, the adjacent connecting blocks 25 will align and fit together to form a paired connection structure. The sleeve 26 serves as a fixing component, and the limiting plate 261 on its inner wall is perfectly matched in shape and size with the slot on the outer side of the connecting block 25. During installation, the sleeve 26 is inserted along the vertical direction of the connecting block 25. Position plate 261 is embedded in the slot of connecting block 25, and the mechanical engagement is used to limit the separation of the two planting units 21. In this structure, the engagement between sleeve 26 and connecting block 25 is a detachable structure. Simply pull sleeve 26 upward (or downward) along the axis, and the limiting plate 261 will disengage from the slot, and the two planting units 21 can be separated, fully exposing the internal root system. This can maximize the protection of the root system's integrity, reduce root damage during transplantation, reduce the environmental stress response of trees, and further improve the survival rate. It is suitable for the transplantation needs of deep-rooted tree species in the later stages of seedling cultivation.

[0019] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it.
