Detailed Implementation

[0014] 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. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0015] Example 1: Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment of the utility model, a flower planting box includes: Box 1 has an open structure at both the top and bottom. Multiple drainage holes 6 are arranged in an array along the length of the box 1 near the bottom. The support components installed inside the housing 1 are used to support the soil; The bottom box 5 is slidably installed in the box body 1. The bottom box 5 is fixedly connected to the support assembly by an elastic suspension mechanism. The bottom box 5 is used to store water. And a support mechanism that is fixedly installed on the outside of the housing 1.

[0016] The soil required for planting flowers is filled into the space above the internal support components of the box 1. In its initial state, the bottom box 5 is relatively light in weight, and with the support of the elastic suspension mechanism, its two sides can cover the drainage holes 6 near the bottom on both sides of the box 1.

[0017] When watering or when it rains, excess water in the soil will seep to the bottom of the support components and eventually flow into the bottom box 5 to store water. If the watering amount is normal or the rainfall is small, the water storage capacity in the bottom box 5 is limited and it always keeps the drainage hole 6 covered to avoid excessive water loss. When there is heavy rainfall or excessive watering, the water volume in the bottom box 5 continues to increase, and its overall weight increases accordingly. Under the action of gravity, the bottom box 5 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic suspension mechanism and slides down along the inner wall of the box body 1 until the drain hole 6 is no longer blocked and is in an open state. At this time, the excess water accumulated in the bottom box is quickly discharged through the drain hole 6. After a certain amount of water is discharged, the weight of the bottom box 5 is reduced, the elastic suspension mechanism restores its elastic deformation, and drives the bottom box 5 to slide upward and reset, blocking the drain hole 6 again, so that an appropriate amount of water is retained in the bottom box 5.

[0018] This invention achieves adaptive adjustment of drainage and water storage. It can quickly drain water when the water volume is too large, avoiding water accumulation in the container 1 that could cause root rot in the flowers, and can also store water under normal water volume, reducing water loss, lowering the watering frequency, and saving maintenance costs.

[0019] Example 2: Please see Figures 2-4 Based on embodiment 1, the support assembly includes a support frame 7 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the box 1, and an X-shaped support frame 9 fixedly installed between the two ends of the support frame 7. A drain board 8 is placed on the top surface of the support frame 7.

[0020] The support frame 7 in the support assembly is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the box 1, providing a basic installation carrier for the entire support structure. The X-shaped support frame 9 between the two ends of the support frame 7 distributes the force through a cross structure, evenly transferring the weight of the soil to the inner wall of the box 1. The drain board 8 is placed on the top surface of the support frame 7, and the soil is laid on top of the drain board 8. When watering or rainfall occurs, excess water in the soil can seep through the gaps in the drain board 8 into the bottom box 5 below. At the same time, the drain board 8 can provide stable support for the soil, preventing the soil from falling directly into the bottom box 5. When it is necessary to clean or replace the drain board 8, or to maintain the inside of the bottom box 5, the drain board 8 can be directly removed from the top surface of the support frame 7, which is convenient.

[0021] Example 3: Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 Based on Embodiment 2, the elastic suspension mechanism includes four sets of elastic connectors 10. Each set of elastic connectors 10 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the support frame 7 near the corner. The bottom ends of the four sets of elastic connectors 10 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the top surface of the base box 5.

[0022] The elastic connector 10 includes a hollow column 11 fixedly connected to the support frame 7. A slide plate 12 is slidably installed in the hollow column 11. A coaxial hanging column 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the slide plate 12. The bottom end of the hanging column 13 slides through the hollow column 11 and is fixedly connected to the bottom box 5. A spring 14, which is sleeved around the outside of the hanging column 13, is fixedly connected between the bottom end of the sliding plate 12 and the inner bottom end of the hollow column 11.

[0023] Four sets of elastic connectors 10 of the elastic suspension mechanism are respectively installed at the bottom surface of the support frame 7 near the corner and at the four corners of the top surface of the base box 5, forming a symmetrical suspension support structure. In the elastic connector 10, the hollow column 11 is fixed to the support frame 7, the slide plate 12 can slide inside the hollow column 11, the hanging column 13 connects the slide plate 12 and the base box 5, and the spring 14 is sleeved on the outside of the hanging column 13 with its two ends connected to the slide plate 12 and the bottom of the hollow column 11 respectively. When the water volume in the base box 5 increases, the weight of the base box 5 increases, pulling the hanging column 13 downward, causing the slide plate 12 to slide downward in the hollow column 11 and compress the spring 14, and the base box 5 moves downward accordingly; when the water in the base box 5 is discharged and the weight is reduced, the spring 14 restores its elastic deformation, pushes the slide plate 12 upward, and drives the base box 5 to return to its original position through the hanging column 13.

[0024] In this embodiment, four sets of symmetrically distributed elastic connectors 10 ensure that the bottom box 5 is subjected to uniform force and remains horizontal during the downward movement and resetting process, avoiding tilting and jamming of the bottom box 5 due to uneven force, and ensuring smooth drainage and resetting functions.

[0025] The elasticity of spring 14 enables adaptive adjustment of the weight and position of the bottom box 5, allowing for the switching of the drainage hole 6 to be blocked or opened without manual intervention, thus improving the automation level of the planting box.

[0026] Example 4: Please see Figure 6 Based on Example 2, multiple evenly distributed mounting cylinders 15 are fixedly installed on the top surface of the drain plate 8. Water-absorbing cotton strips 16 are provided in the mounting cylinders 15, and the bottom end of the water-absorbing cotton strips 16 passes through the support frame 7 and extends into the bottom box 5. The mounting cylinder 15 has multiple evenly distributed through holes 17 on its periphery.

[0027] During the planting process, the water in the bottom box 5 is absorbed by the absorbent cotton strip 16 under capillary action and is transported upward along the absorbent cotton strip 16 to the installation cylinder 15; the through holes 17 on the periphery of the installation cylinder 15 connect the inside of the installation cylinder 15 with the surrounding soil, and the water absorbed into the installation cylinder 15 permeates into the surrounding soil through the through holes 17 to replenish the soil moisture; since the installation cylinders 15 are evenly distributed on the top surface of the drain plate 8, water can permeate into different areas of the soil simultaneously through multiple installation cylinders 15 to achieve uniform replenishment of soil moisture.

[0028] In this embodiment, the capillary action of the absorbent cotton strip 16 and the through hole 17 design of the mounting tube 15 enable the slow and uniform delivery of water stored in the bottom box 5 to the soil, solving the problem of uneven soil moisture distribution in traditional planting boxes, so that all areas of the flower roots can obtain a stable water supply and improve the uniformity of flower growth.

[0029] The mounting cylinder 15 provides a stable installation and protection space for the absorbent cotton strip 16, preventing the absorbent cotton strip from being squeezed, deformed, or blocked by the soil, ensuring the stability of the water absorption and delivery functions, and also facilitating the replacement of the absorbent cotton strip later.

[0030] Example 5: Please see Figure 1 Based on embodiment 1, the support mechanism includes a boss 2. Both ends of the housing 1 are fixedly installed with bosses 2 near the bottom. A support column 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the boss 2. A locking universal wheel 4 is installed at the bottom of the support column 3.

[0031] The support brackets 2 are fixed to both ends of the box 1 near the bottom, providing a mounting base for the support column 3. The support column 3 extends vertically downwards, and its bottom locking casters 4 are in contact with the ground. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the planting box in the landscape, the locking casters 4 are released, and the box 1 is pushed. The locking casters 4 can then roll along the ground, moving the planting box to the target position. After reaching the target position, the locking casters 4 are locked to prevent them from rolling, thus fixing the planting box in the current position and preventing it from moving due to external forces.

[0032] In this embodiment, the locking universal wheels 4 greatly improve the mobility of the planting box, making it easy to flexibly change the arrangement of the planting box according to the dynamic adjustment needs of the garden landscape.

[0033] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
