Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flower pot technology, specifically to an automatic water replenishment and breathable ceramic flower pot. Background Technology
[0002] Ceramic flower pots are widely used in home gardening, office greening, and landscaping due to their beautiful appearance and excellent texture. However, existing ceramic flower pots have the following technical defects in actual use: 1. Inconvenient watering and easy water accumulation: Traditional ceramic flower pots are mostly single-layered structures, requiring direct watering onto the surface of the soil. This not only requires frequent manual operation, but also easily leads to water accumulation at the bottom of the pot, causing root rot. Insufficient watering easily leads to dry soil and wilting of the plant, making them particularly unsuitable for long-term absences or situations where watering is not timely. 2. Inconvenient watering: Watering requires carefully parting the plant branches and leaves, which is not only cumbersome but also easily leads to broken or crushed leaves. Under traditional watering methods, water easily splashes onto the leaf surface. For many water-sensitive plants, such as succulents and African violets, prolonged dampness on the leaves can directly cause leaf rot, the development of disease spots, and even infection of the entire plant, seriously affecting the plant's health and ornamental value. 3. Inconvenient observation of water storage and disposal of excess water: Existing water storage flower pots do not allow for direct observation of the remaining water in the storage chamber, which can easily lead to forgetting to add water or adding too much water. To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides an automatic water-replenishing and breathable ceramic flowerpot. Through optimized structural design, it achieves the functions of automatic and slow water replenishment, convenient water addition, and intuitive observation of water storage, effectively solving the pain points of using existing ceramic flowerpots. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an automatic water replenishment and breathable ceramic flower pot to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: The present invention proposes an automatic water-replenishing and breathable ceramic flowerpot, comprising: a flowerpot body, an outer shell, cotton strips, a breathable component, a tray, and a lid. The outer shell is fitted onto the outside of the flowerpot body, and a storage cavity for storing water is formed between the outer shell and the flowerpot body. The storage cavity occupies only the upper half of the outer shell. The cotton strips are distributed at varying heights along the periphery of the flowerpot body, and one end of the cotton strip extends into the inner side of the flowerpot body. The cultivation area extends to the storage cavity at one end. The top of the outer shell is symmetrically provided with integrated water-filling handles on both sides. The upper part of the water-filling handle has an upward-opening water-filling cavity, which is connected to the storage cavity. The lower part of the water-filling handle forms a handle structure for hand gripping. By utilizing the capillary absorption principle of cotton strips, the water in the storage cavity is slowly and evenly transported to the potting soil, realizing automatic water replenishment for the plant. The staggered distribution pattern ensures that different height areas of the potting soil can obtain water, avoiding local drought or waterlogging.
[0005] Furthermore, the inner wall of the water filling chamber is provided with inwardly protruding guide ribs, which extend along the height direction of the water filling chamber; the guide ribs can guide the water flow smoothly into the storage chamber along the chamber wall, avoiding splashing of water due to impact when adding water.
[0006] Furthermore, the upper half of the outer shell is embedded with a transparent observation window that communicates with the storage cavity. The extension direction of the transparent observation window is consistent with the height direction of the storage cavity. Users can directly observe the remaining water in the storage cavity through the transparent observation window, replenish water in time, and avoid the plant from being dehydrated or over-watered due to the inability to judge the water level.
[0007] Furthermore, the outer side of the transparent observation window is provided with a scratch-resistant coating with a thickness of 3μm-5μm; the silica coating has high hardness and wear resistance, which can effectively prevent the transparent observation window from being scratched by friction and collision during daily use, ensuring the clarity of observation.
[0008] Furthermore, the air-permeable component includes several air-permeable tubes, each of which is evenly distributed along the circumference of the outer shell and arranged at varying heights. The air-permeable tubes are inclined, with their upper ends penetrating the outer shell and extending to the outside of the outer shell, and their lower ends penetrating the flowerpot body and extending to the inner cultivation area of the flowerpot body. By arranging the air-permeable tubes at varying heights, air permeability at different depths of the potting soil can be achieved, avoiding oxygen deficiency in the deep potting soil. The inclined structure can improve the stability of air permeability.
[0009] Furthermore, the inclination angle of the vent pipe is 30°-60°, and a protective net to prevent soil blockage is provided at one end of the vent pipe located inside the flowerpot body. The protective net is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the vent pipe. The protective net can further filter potting soil particles, prevent the vent pipe from being blocked by soil, and ensure that the venting channel is unobstructed for a long time.
[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the flowerpot body is shaped like a basin, with a lower center and higher edges. A water outlet is provided in the center of the bottom of the flowerpot body, and a filter screen is fixedly embedded in the water outlet. The basin-shaped bottom structure can guide excess water to gather in the center and drain it through the water outlet, thus avoiding water accumulation at the bottom.
[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the outer shell is provided with a downwardly protruding support ring, and the support ring is provided with at least two water channels distributed along its circumference. The tray is detachably set below the ceramic flower pot, and the opening area of the tray is larger than the bottom area of the ceramic flower pot. The support ring can support the flower pot as a whole on the tray, avoiding direct contact between the bottom of the flower pot and the residual water in the tray, thus reducing bacterial growth.
[0012] Furthermore, the lower half of the outer shell is a hollow structure, and the inner wall of the lower half of the outer shell is provided with reinforcing ribs that extend along the height direction of the outer shell; the hollow structure of the lower half can significantly reduce the overall weight of the flowerpot and reduce the difficulty of handling.
[0013] Furthermore, the lid includes an upper lid and a lower lid that are connected to each other. The lower lid is pluggably embedded into the storage cavity. The lower end face of the upper lid abuts against the top face of the flowerpot body and the outer shell. The inner diameter of the upper lid is the same as the inner diameter of the flowerpot body, and the outer diameter of the upper lid is larger than the outer diameter of the outer shell. The lid can seal the water in the storage cavity, reduce water evaporation, and prevent dust and debris from falling into the storage cavity and contaminating the water.
[0014] As described above, the automatic water-replenishing and breathable ceramic flowerpot provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. Automatic water replenishment and convenient use: Automatic and slow water replenishment is achieved through the capillary absorption principle of cotton strips, eliminating the need for frequent manual watering and solving the problem of long-term absence or untimely watering; the water filling chamber and storage chamber are directly connected, making water addition simple and requiring no disassembly of parts. 2. Intuitive observation and comprehensive functions: A transparent observation window facilitates viewing the water level, and the scratch-resistant coating ensures clear observation; the lid provides a sealed dustproof seal, reducing water evaporation and enhancing aesthetics. 3. Highly efficient breathability and root protection: The breathable pipes are evenly distributed along the circumference and at varying heights, achieving comprehensive breathability of the potting soil in both circumferential and depth directions, preventing root hypoxia; the protective net and inclined structure prevent the breathable pipes from clogging, ensuring stable breathability. 4. Prevents water accumulation and soil leakage, keeping the environment clean: The basin-shaped bottom of the flowerpot body, combined with the drainage holes, quickly drains excess water; the filter effectively prevents soil loss; the tray collects residual water and is removable, keeping the usage environment clean. 5. Lightweight design for easy handling: The hollow lower half of the outer shell reduces weight, and the water-filling handle provides a stable grip, reducing the difficulty of handling; reinforcing ribs ensure structural strength and prevent deformation. This utility model has a reasonable structural design and comprehensive functions, effectively solving the pain points of existing ceramic flower pots. It is suitable for various scenarios such as homes, offices, and landscaping, and has high practicality and promotional value. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0020] like Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model provides an automatic water-replenishing and breathable ceramic flowerpot: it includes a flowerpot body 1, an outer shell 2, cotton strips 3, a breathable component 4, a tray 5, and a lid 6. The outer shell 2 is fitted onto the outside of the flowerpot body 1, and a storage cavity 7 for storing water is formed between the outer shell 2 and the flowerpot body 1. The storage cavity 7 occupies only the upper half of the outer shell 2 to avoid excessive weight of the outer shell 2 and facilitate handling. The cotton strips 3 are distributed at varying heights along the perimeter of the flowerpot body 1. One end of the cotton strips 3 extends to the cultivation area inside the flowerpot body 1, and the other end extends into the storage cavity 7, utilizing the capillary absorption principle of the cotton strips 3. The water in the storage chamber 7 is slowly and evenly delivered to the potting soil, enabling automatic water replenishment for the plant. The staggered distribution ensures that water is available in different areas of the potting soil, preventing localized drought or waterlogging. The top of the outer shell 2 is symmetrically equipped with integrated water-filling handles 21 on both sides. The upper part of the water-filling handle 21 has an upward-opening water-filling groove 22, which is connected to the storage chamber 7. Water can be added directly to the storage chamber 7 through the water-filling groove 22 without disassembling other parts, making operation convenient. The lower part of the water-filling handle 21 forms a handle structure for hand gripping, replacing the traditional method of directly gripping the pot and improving the stability and convenience when moving the flower pot.
[0021] The inner wall of the water filling tank 22 is provided with inwardly protruding guide ribs 23. The guide ribs 23 extend along the height direction of the water filling tank 22. The guide ribs 23 can guide the water flow smoothly into the storage chamber 7 along the cavity wall, avoid water splashing due to impact when adding water, and reduce the scouring and wear of the water flow on the inner wall of the water filling tank 22, thus extending the service life.
[0022] The upper half of the outer shell 2 is embedded with a transparent observation window 24 that communicates with the storage cavity 7. The extension direction of the transparent observation window 24 is consistent with the height direction of the storage cavity 7. Users can directly observe the remaining water in the storage cavity 7 through the transparent observation window 24 and replenish water in time to avoid the plant being dehydrated or over-watered due to the inability to judge the water level. The transparent observation window 24 extends along the height direction of the storage cavity 7 and can completely display different water level states, providing a more comprehensive observation range.
[0023] The transparent observation window 24 is provided with a scratch-resistant coating 25 on its outer side. The scratch-resistant coating 25 is a silicon dioxide coating with a thickness of 3μm-5μm. The silicon dioxide coating has high hardness and wear resistance, which can effectively prevent the transparent observation window 24 from being scratched by friction and collision during daily use, ensuring the clarity of observation. At the same time, the coating thickness is controlled at 3μm-5μm, which can ensure the scratch resistance effect without affecting the light transmittance.
[0024] The ventilation component 4 includes several ventilation pipes 41. Each ventilation pipe 41 is evenly distributed along the circumference of the outer shell 2 and is arranged at different heights. The ventilation pipe 41 is inclined, with its upper end penetrating the outer shell 2 and extending to the outside of the outer shell 2, and its lower end penetrating the flowerpot body 1 and extending to the inner cultivation area of the flowerpot body 1. The even distribution of the ventilation pipes 41 along the circumference ensures uniform aeration of the potting soil in all directions. The staggered arrangement allows for aeration at different depths of the potting soil, preventing oxygen deficiency in the deeper layers of the potting soil. The inclined structure guides outside air smoothly into the potting soil and prevents water from directly entering the ventilation pipes 41 during watering, thus improving aeration stability.
[0025] The ventilator 41 has an inclination angle of 30°-60°. This angle range ensures efficient air circulation while effectively preventing soil particles from entering the ventilator 41. The ventilator 41 is equipped with a protective net 42 to prevent soil blockage at one end inside the flowerpot body 1. The protective net 42 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the ventilator 41. The protective net 42 can further filter soil particles, prevent the ventilator 41 from being blocked by soil, and ensure that the ventilation channel remains unobstructed for a long time.
[0026] The flowerpot body 1 has a basin-shaped bottom, lower in the middle and higher around the edges. A drainage hole 11 is located in the center of the bottom of the flowerpot body 1, and a filter screen 12 is fixedly embedded within the drainage hole 11. The basin-shaped bottom structure guides excess water to the center, allowing it to drain through the drainage hole 11 and preventing water accumulation at the bottom. The filter screen 12 prevents soil loss with the water flow, ensuring the stability of the soil structure. The filter screen 12 can be made of stainless steel or ceramic. Stainless steel filter screens are corrosion-resistant and have high strength, while ceramic filter screens are more aesthetically pleasing and compatible with the material of the flowerpot body 1. The mesh size of the filter screen 12 is 80-120. The mesh size is such that it can effectively block soil particles without affecting water drainage. The edge of the filter screen 12 is sealed to the inner wall of the drainage hole 11 with high-temperature resistant adhesive to prevent gaps between the filter screen 12 and the drainage hole 11 from causing soil leakage. At the same time, the high-temperature resistant adhesive can adapt to the temperature changes during the firing of ceramic flower pots and daily use, and the connection stability is strong.
[0027] The outer shell 2 has a downwardly protruding support ring 26 at its bottom. The support ring 26 can support the flowerpot on the tray 5, preventing the bottom of the flowerpot from directly contacting the residual water in the tray 5 and reducing bacterial growth. The support ring 26 has at least two drainage channels 27 distributed along its circumference. The residual water discharged from the flowerpot body 1 can flow into the tray 5 through the drainage channels 27, preventing the residual water from accumulating in the support ring 26. The tray 5 is detachably set below the ceramic flowerpot, and the opening area of the tray 5 is larger than the bottom area of the ceramic flowerpot, which is convenient for collecting all residual water. At the same time, the detachable design makes it convenient to regularly clean the water and impurities in the tray 5 and keep the use environment clean.
[0028] The lower half of the outer shell 2 is hollow, which can significantly reduce the overall weight of the flowerpot and reduce the difficulty of handling. It is especially suitable for larger ceramic flowerpots. The inner wall of the lower half of the outer shell 2 is provided with reinforcing ribs 28. The reinforcing ribs 28 extend along the height direction of the outer shell 2. The reinforcing ribs 28 can improve the structural strength of the outer shell 2, avoid shell deformation caused by the hollow structure, and ensure the service life of the flowerpot.
[0029] The cover 6 includes an upper cover 61 and a lower cover 62 connected to each other. The lower cover 62 is pluggably embedded in the storage cavity 7, which can seal the water in the storage cavity 7, reduce water evaporation, and prevent dust and debris from falling into the storage cavity 7 and contaminating the water. The lower end face of the upper cover 61 abuts against the top face of the flowerpot body 1 and the outer shell 2, which can cover the top of the flowerpot body 1, reduce water evaporation, and improve the overall aesthetics of the flowerpot. The inner diameter of the upper cover 61 is the same as the inner diameter of the flowerpot body 1 to avoid gaps between the upper cover 61 and the flowerpot body 1 and ensure the covering effect. The outer diameter of the upper cover 61 is larger than the outer diameter of the outer shell 2, which makes it easier for the user to hold the edge of the upper cover 61 and realize quick insertion and removal of the cover 6, making the operation convenient.
[0030] Working Principle: When using this ceramic flowerpot, first place the plant in the inner planting area of the flowerpot body 1, and pour clean water into the water filling groove 22 of the water filling handle 21. The clean water flows along the guide ribs 23 on the inner wall of the water filling groove 22 into the storage cavity 7 between the outer shell 2 and the flowerpot body 1. The water in the storage cavity 7 is slowly transported to the potting soil in the flowerpot body 1 through the staggered cotton strips 3, using the principle of capillary water absorption, providing continuous and uniform water for the plant, and realizing automatic water replenishment. The user can observe the remaining water in the storage cavity 7 in real time through the transparent observation window 24 on the outer shell 2, and replenish the water in time through the water filling groove 22 when the water is insufficient. The venting pipes 41 of the venting component 4 are evenly distributed along the circumference and staggered in height. Outside air enters the potting soil in the flowerpot body 1 through the inclined venting pipes 41, providing sufficient oxygen for the plant roots. The protective net 42 at the end of the venting pipe 41 can prevent soil from clogging the venting channel. When overwatering occurs, excess water is guided by the basin-shaped structure at the bottom of the flowerpot body 1 to the central drainage hole 11, and then discharged after being filtered by the filter screen 12, preventing water accumulation in the pot soil. The discharged excess water flows to the tray 5 through the drainage channel 27 of the support ring 26. The tray 5 can be removed periodically to clean up excess water and impurities. When it is necessary to move the flowerpot, the lower part of the water filling handle 21 on both sides of the top of the outer shell 2 can be held to move it stably and the operation is convenient.
[0031] The above are only some specific embodiments of this utility model, but the design concept of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to this utility model using this concept shall be considered as an infringement of the protection scope of this utility model.
