Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of small plant planting devices, specifically a small plant planting device that is easy to replace quickly. Background Technology

[0002] The small-scale plant planting device is a specialized piece of equipment for the efficient cultivation and transplanting of small plants. It is suitable for large-scale planting of small plants in landscape gardens, roadside medians, and other similar settings. It is compatible with various seedlings such as hedges, woody flowering plants, and small shrubs. During operation, seedlings are conveyed via a conveyor belt, precisely grasped by a robotic arm, and planted into pre-dug trenches by a trenching mechanism. Simultaneously, soil covering and compaction are completed. Some devices are equipped with drip irrigation systems, allowing for immediate watering after planting to improve seedling survival rates. The small-scale device is suitable for small-area planting in courtyards, while the large-scale tractor-mounted device can be used with tractors to achieve continuous planting and significantly reduce labor costs. This device ensures uniform spacing and neat arrangement of small plants, improving planting efficiency and landscape consistency, making it an important piece of equipment for mechanized landscaping construction. For example, utility model patent CN221228319U discloses a planting device for purple plants as hedges. The device includes a rectangular body with a base plate and side plates. The upper part of the device is open, and two lifting rods are arranged opposite each other on the upper part. A slit along the length of the middle of the device divides it into a first body and a second body. The device has multiple connecting structures for joining the first and second bodies. This utility model device can be divided into two parts and connected into one unit via the connecting structures. It can be used to prefabricate small plants of the genus *Purple Plant*. When transplanting *Purple Plant* to small garden plants, the device can be moved by holding the lifting rods, and the plant and soil can be separated by disassembling the connecting structures, allowing for quick planting. The operation is convenient and provides a good user experience. However, this small plant planting device cannot regulate water during use. After watering, water tends to accumulate at the bottom plate, resulting in insufficient water in the upper part of the side plate and excessive water in the lower part, causing the roots of the small plants to rot. In addition, the device cannot be combined with multiple boxes, and once the parts are damaged, the whole device becomes unusable. Furthermore, after watering, excess water is lost, resulting in waste. Utility Model Content

[0014] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0015] Please refer to Figures 1-4A small plant planting device for easy and quick replacement includes a small plant fixing box 1. The small plant fixing box 1 has several positioning holes 2, and small plant planting boxes 3 are slidably connected to the several positioning holes 2. A support platform 4 is fixedly installed on the lower wall inside the small plant planting box 3. The support platform 4 is provided with a water volume regulating structure that can drain and store water. The water volume regulating structure includes several first water storage tanks 5 and drainage holes 6. The several first water storage tanks 5 are evenly arranged on the upper wall of the support platform 4, and the drainage holes 6 are opened in the center of the lower wall of the support platform 4. On the surface, the upper end of the drain hole 6 is provided with drainage holes 7 that are respectively connected to several first water storage tanks 5; the upper wall of the support platform 4 supports a green plant bag 8, and several guide columns 9 are fixedly installed on the lower wall of the green plant bag 8. The several guide columns 9 are respectively in contact with the lower wall of several first water storage tanks 5. The bottom of the small plant fixing box 1 is provided with two slides 10. One end of the side wall of the small plant fixing box 1 is fixedly installed with a stepped cylindrical pin 17, and the other end is provided with two limiting slide grooves 18. The two limiting slide grooves 18 are respectively matched with the positions of the two stepped cylindrical pins 17.

[0016] Please refer to Figure 4 The bottom of the small plant planting box 3 is provided with several second water storage tanks 11, which are connected to several first water storage tanks 5 through connecting holes 23. Several observation windows 12 are fixedly installed on the side wall of the small plant planting box 3, which correspond to the positions of several second water storage tanks 11.

[0017] Please refer to Figure 4 The drainage hole 7 is flush with the top wall of the second water storage tank 11 on the drainage hole 6. The small plant planting box 3 has several balance holes 24, which are connected to the upper wall of several second water storage tanks 11 respectively. When in use, the balance holes 24 can balance the air pressure inside and outside the second water storage tank 11 to ensure smooth drainage.

[0018] Please refer to Figure 2 A fixed frame 13 is provided below the small plant planting box 3. Two sliders 14 are fixedly installed on the upper wall of the fixed frame 13 and are slidably connected to two slides 10 respectively. Two guide plates 15 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the fixed frame 13, and guide holes 16 are provided at the joint of the two guide plates 15.

[0019] Please refer to Figure 2 The two guide plates 15 are connected at an angle to facilitate the water flow to converge at the guide hole 16.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1-2 One end of the side wall of the small plant fixing box 1 is fixedly installed with a stepped cylindrical pin 17, and the other end is provided with two limiting grooves 18, which are respectively matched with the positions of the two stepped cylindrical pins 17.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-3 Each of the several positioning holes 2 has a fixed mounting seat 19, and each of the several mounting seats 19 has a through hole 20 in the center. Each of the several small plant planting boxes 3 has an assembly hole 21 on the lower wall surface, which matches the several mounting seats 19. When in use, the assembly hole 21 on the lower wall of the planting box cooperates with the mounting seat 19 in the positioning hole to limit lateral swaying.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 3 Each of the several green plant bags 8 has a handle 22 fixedly installed on its outer wall. When in use, the green plant bag 8 can be easily taken out through the handle 22.

[0023] Example 1: In this example, the dual water storage tank and the hydrophobic structure precisely control the water volume, adapting to small plants with different drought resistance; the visualized water storage monitoring simplifies the maintenance process, making it suitable for large-scale application in urban greening.

[0024] Specifically, the replacement and maintenance process for small plants is as follows: The operator holds both sides of the small plant planting box 3 and lifts it upwards to detach it from the positioning hole 2 of the small plant fixing box 1 (the assembly hole 21 on the lower wall of the planting box separates from the limiting seat 19 in the positioning hole to ensure stable placement). After moving it to the transplanting point, the green plant bag 8 is removed from the planting box through the handle 22 on the outer wall, and a small plant seedling is planted into the bag. Then, the green plant bag is placed back on the support platform 4, so that the guide column 9 at the bottom of the bag is aligned with the first water storage tank 5 and in contact with the bottom of the tank, completing the replacement of the small plant. When watering the planter bag 8, water seeps into the soil inside the bag, and excess water flows into the first water storage tank 5 through the guide column 9. Some water enters the second water storage tank 11 through the connecting hole 23 for storage. When the water level in the second water storage tank 11 reaches its top wall, the water in the first water storage tank 5 just overflows to the drainage hole 7 (the drainage hole 7 is flush with the top wall of the second water storage tank 11), and excess water is discharged along the drainage hole 6, preventing waterlogging and root rot. In subsequent maintenance, the guide column 9 uses capillary action to return the water stored in the first water storage tank 5 to the planter bag 8, maintaining soil moisture. Operators can observe the water level of the second water tank 11 through the observation window 12 on the side wall of the small plant planting box 3, and indirectly judge the water volume of the first water tank 5 (the two are connected through the connecting hole 23 and the water levels are synchronized), and add water as needed; the balance hole 24 can balance the air pressure inside and outside the second water tank 11 to ensure smooth drainage.

[0025] Example 2: In this example, a modular design is achieved through the stepped cylindrical pin 17 and the limiting slide groove 18, which facilitates later maintenance, enables quick replacement of small plants, reduces labor costs, and is suitable for large-scale applications such as road medians and small plants in parks.

[0026] Specifically, the operational procedure for large-scale application is as follows: Multiple small plant fixing boxes 1 are connected to the limiting slide grooves 18 via stepped cylindrical pins 17 (the stepped structure ensures precise connection and pull-out resistance) to form a continuous small plant belt. Small plant planting boxes 3 are inserted into the positioning holes 2 of each fixing box, and the assembly holes 21 on the lower wall of the planting box cooperate with the limiting seats 19 in the positioning holes to limit lateral swaying; the fixing frame 13 slides along the slide rails 10 at the bottom of the planting box via sliders 14 to adjust its position so that it is located below multiple planting boxes to form a unified drainage system; When a single small planter holder 1 drains water, the water flows out from the drain hole 6, drips through the through hole 20 of the limiting seat 19 onto the guide plate 15 of the holder 13. The guide plate is angled and connected to collect the water discharged from multiple holders into the central guide hole 16, which can be connected to a pipe to lead the water to the municipal drainage system or a water collection tank (to achieve rainwater recycling), preventing water from soaking the holder or washing the ground; To increase the length of the smaller plants, simply continue to assemble the smaller plant fixing boxes, which can be quickly expanded using the standardized interface of stepped cylindrical pins and sliding grooves. If a single box has a problem, it can be removed and replaced individually without affecting the overall structure, making maintenance convenient.

[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
