[0018] 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 only for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model; that is, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0019] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This invention describes a specific embodiment of a combined flowerpot, comprising: The pot body 1 has a connecting structure on its top for splicing with adjacent pot bodies 1. The connecting structure includes a snap-fit part 11 formed on the top of the pot body 1 and a snap-fit member 12 for cooperating with the snap-fit part 11 of two adjacent pot bodies 1 to achieve splicing. The pot bodies 1 are spliced together through the connecting structure on the top, which is used for landscaping between plants. The pot body 1 allows multiple pot bodies 1 to be quickly spliced together to form a combined landscape. The connection between the pot bodies 1 is achieved by the snap-fit member 12 cooperating with the snap-fit part 11 of adjacent pot bodies 1. The mutual cooperation between the snap-fit member 12 and the snap-fit part 11 can restrict the relative movement between the pot bodies 1. The support plate 2 is installed at any height within the pot 1 via a height adjustment mechanism 3, ensuring that the top height of the plants supported in multiple combined pots 1 remains consistent. Drainage structures are provided on both the pot 1 and the support plate 2. The support plate 2 supports the planting medium, such as soil, hydroponic substrate, or artificial soil. Different plants grow at different rates in different pots, resulting in uneven growth heights. The height adjustment mechanism 3 allows adjustment of the support plate 2 according to the plant growth height, ensuring a consistent top height of the plants in different pots 1 within the combined pots, improving aesthetics and light uniformity. The drainage structure prevents root rot caused by waterlogging. The drainage structure on the pot 1 drains excess water beyond its storage capacity, preventing excessive water accumulation and soaking. The drainage structure on the support plate 2 prevents excessive water accumulation in the planting medium. In some embodiments, the support plate 2 can be designed as a mesh-like, perforated plate to reduce weight and facilitate cleaning.
[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the snap-fit part 11 is a snap-fit groove, and the snap-fit member 12 is a U-shaped snap-fit member 12. The two ends of the snap-fit member 12 are respectively inserted into the snap-fit grooves of two adjacent basins 1 to restrict the relative movement between the basins 1. Specifically, the snap-fit groove is formed on the top of the basin 1, and the U-shaped snap-fit member 12 is made of a micro-elastic material with barbs or protrusions at both ends. Similarly, the snap-fit groove is also provided with limiting hooks or limiting protrusions. After the snap-fit member 12 is inserted into the snap-fit groove, it is fixed by friction to prevent the basins 1 from separating or moving from each other under the action of external force.
[0022] In the first embodiment of the height adjustment mechanism 3, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the adjustment mechanism includes: Multiple limiting holes 31 are spaced apart along the height direction of the inner wall of the basin 1; The limiting post 32 is inserted into the limiting hole 31 and is used to provide support for the support plate 2. The limiting hole 31 is distributed on the inner wall of the basin 1 at a uniform or non-uniform interval. Its shape can be circular, square or elliptical, and it forms an interference fit with the limiting post 32 to ensure that the support plate 2 is fixed reliably. Multiple limiting posts 32 can be set. After being inserted into the limiting hole 31, they provide support for the support plate 2 to distribute the load and improve stability.
[0023] In the second embodiment of the height adjustment mechanism 3, please refer to Figures 3-4 As shown, the height adjustment mechanism 3 includes: Adjustment belt 33, one end of which is connected to the support plate 2; A belt channel 34 is provided on the inner wall of the basin 1 for the adjustment belt 33 to pass through and for the free end of the adjustment belt 33 to extend to the outside of the basin 1. A locking element 35 is provided on the outside of the basin 1 and is used to lock or release the adjusting belt 33 to fix or adjust the height of the support plate 2. The adjusting belt 33 is made of a high-strength flexible material, with one end fixed to the edge of the support plate 2 and the other end extending through the belt channel 34 to the outside of the basin 1. The belt channel 34 is a guide groove formed on the basin 1. The locking member 35 is used to apply frictional force to the free end of the adjusting belt 33 to fix the height of the support plate 2.
[0024] Please refer to Figure 4 As shown, the locking element 35 is a D-ring buckle; as a common locking device, the D-ring buckle achieves quick locking and release by adjusting the wrapping and friction of the belt 33 in the buckle body. Since the D-ring buckle cannot pass through the belt body channel 34, it is limited to the outer wall of the basin 1. It has the advantages of simple structure, low cost and convenient operation. This limiting and locking method is a conventional technical means and will not be described in detail here.
[0025] In some other embodiments of the locking member 35, the locking member 35 is not limited to a D-ring, but may also adopt a ratchet buckle, a clamp, or other structures.
[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, the cross-sectional area of the basin 1 gradually decreases from top to bottom, forming a conical structure. The conical structure facilitates the stacking, storage, and transportation of the basins 1, reducing the space occupied. In addition, the basin 1 is not limited to a regular cone shape, but can also be an inverted cone shape, a stepped cone shape, or a custom curved shape to adapt to different landscape needs.
[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, a seepage-proof layer (not shown) is laid on the support plate 2. Since the pot body 1 is a cone-shaped structure, when the height of the support plate 2 changes, without changing the size of the support plate 2, there will be a change in the gap between the support plate 2 and the pot body 1. The seepage-proof layer is mainly used to prevent the planting medium from leaking out from the gap formed between the support plate 2 and the pot body 1. By setting the seepage-proof layer, water can be allowed to penetrate smoothly and water accumulation is avoided. In addition, the seepage-proof layer can be a single layer or a multi-layer composite structure, which has the functions of filtration and water retention.
[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, the seepage-proof layer is a mesh screen; the mesh screen, with its porous nature, serves as the seepage-proof layer, and the mesh size can be set according to the soil particle size to ensure water permeability while effectively blocking soil.
[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the top or side wall of the basin 1 is provided with a vine-guiding hole 13 for the stems of the vines to pass through; the vine-guiding hole 13 facilitates the outward growth of the stems of the vines, achieving vertical greening or hanging effects.
[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the drainage structure on the pot 1 is a drainage hole 14 opened on the side wall of the pot 1. The opening height of the drainage hole 14 on the pot 1 is lower than the installation height of the support plate 2 on the pot 1. The drainage structure on the support plate 2 is a plurality of drainage holes 15 opened on the end face of the support plate 2. The drainage holes 14 are evenly distributed around the side wall of the pot 1. Their height is set to ensure that water can be discharged in time when it accumulates above the support plate 2 to prevent root rot. The drainage holes 15 are arranged in an array on the support plate 2. The hole diameter and number are designed according to the size of the pot 1 and the water requirement of the plant. In addition, a water-absorbing element 4 is provided in the water storage area inside the pot 1 to keep the soil particles or substrate moist.
[0031] Working principle of this utility model: The pot 1 is quickly assembled via a connecting structure at its top. Specifically, the two ends of a U-shaped snap-fit 12 are inserted into the snap-fit grooves of two adjacent pots 1. The barbs or protrusions on the snap-fit 12 form a frictional engagement with the limiting structure in the snap-fit groove, effectively restricting the relative movement of the pots 1 in the horizontal and vertical directions, connecting multiple independent pots 1 into a stable whole. This allows users to freely combine different types and colors of pots to create landscape designs according to the site and their creative ideas. Individual pots can be easily stored and transported, and quick assembly is possible during landscaping. To achieve the aesthetic effect of uniform canopy height for different plants within the combined flowerpots, a height adjustment mechanism 3 is used. Specifically: The limiting hole 31 and the limiting post 32 work together to adjust the height of the support plate 2: Based on the current height of the plant, the user aligns the limiting post 32 on the outer edge of the support plate 2 with the corresponding limiting hole 31 on the inner wall of the pot 1 and inserts it. Through multi-point insertion, the support plate 2, its planting medium, and the plant are reliably supported at the predetermined height. By adjusting the height of the support plate 2 in each pot 1 one by one, the tops of all plants can be brought to the same horizontal level.
[0032] The height of the support plate 2 is adjusted by the adjustment belt 33 and the locking member 35: The user can change the height of the support plate 2 by pulling or loosening the adjustment belt 33, which is led out from inside the basin 1 and passes through the belt channel 34. When the support plate 2 reaches the ideal position, the adjustment belt 33 is locked by the D-ring locking member 35 on the outside of the basin 1, and its length is fixed by friction, thereby suspending and fixing the support plate 2 at the required height. This method of adjustment is more continuous and precise.
[0033] Multiple drainage holes 15 on the support plate 2 allow excess water to drain out in time during irrigation, preventing the planting medium from becoming saturated with water. The mesh anti-seepage layer laid on the support plate 2 can effectively prevent fine soil particles or substrate from being lost through the drainage holes 15 or the gap between the support plate 2 and the inner wall of the conical pot 1, while not affecting the passage of water.
[0034] Excess water drained by support plate 2 and some water seeping from the medium will be temporarily stored in the bottom space of the pot below support plate 2. When the water level of this part exceeds the opening height of the drainage hole 14 on the side wall of the pot body 1, it will automatically drain out from the drainage hole 14, ensuring that the plant roots are not soaked for a long time. The opening position of the drainage hole 14 is always lower than the installation height of support plate 2, thus ensuring an effective drainage and water storage area.
[0035] The vine-guiding holes 13 on the pot body 1 provide a channel for the growth of vines, allowing their stems to extend outwards in an orderly manner, which is convenient for achieving vertical greening or hanging effects.
[0036] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0037] The above description is merely an example and illustration of the structure of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not deviate from the structure of the utility model or exceed the scope defined by the claims of this application, they should all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
