Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of potted planters, and in particular to a breathable ceramic potted planter. Background Technology

[0002] Flower pots, as basin-shaped containers, are not only widely used in the decoration of private gardens and villas, but also occupy an important position in landscaping and greening projects. Among them, terracotta flower pots are particularly popular due to their unique texture and artistic effect. As people's quality of life continues to improve, indoor and outdoor potted plant cultivation is gradually becoming a common lifestyle. Ceramic flower pots, as common planting containers, not only meet people's aesthetic needs for their homes and environments, but their functional design is also receiving increasing attention from consumers and the industry.

[0003] However, existing potted planters have significant shortcomings in practical use, especially in terms of watering management and aeration, making it difficult to fully meet the needs of healthy plant growth.

[0004] In terms of watering, most existing potted plants rely on manual operation, but manual watering has significant limitations: on the one hand, it is difficult for people to accurately control the best time and appropriate amount of watering, and often the lack of timely detection of soil water shortage leads to the plants being in an overly dry state, which in turn affects their normal growth and may even cause the plants to wither in severe cases; on the other hand, overwatering may occur due to misjudgment, resulting in waterlogging in the soil, causing the plant roots to lack oxygen, which in turn leads to root rot and other problems, which are also not conducive to the healthy growth of plants.

[0005] At the same time, traditional flowerpots also have significant shortcomings in their breathability design. The bottom of these pots is usually placed directly on the supporting surface, resulting in extremely limited airflow channels. Gas exchange relies solely on a few drainage holes at the bottom of the pot, which is far from meeting the oxygen needs of plant roots. This poor aeration environment hinders the normal respiration and nutrient absorption of plant roots, thus adversely affecting the plant's healthy growth.

[0006] Therefore, in response to the aforementioned problems with watering management and air permeability of existing potted planters, developing a ceramic potted planter with good air permeability and optimized watering effect has become an urgent need for the current industry development.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings: As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a breathable ceramic potted planter, including a support base 1, a planter body 2 on the top of the support base 1, a vent hole 3 at the bottom of the planter body 2, a vent 4 at the bottom edge of the planter body 2, a support hoop 5 on the top of the support base 1, the planter body 2 placed inside the support hoop 5, a water inlet pipe 10 fixed inside the support base 1, a water collection tank 16 fixed inside the support base 1, and a water spray head 13 on the top of the support base 1, with the water outlet of the water spray head 13 facing the top of the planter body 2. The water spray head 13 enables automatic watering and irrigation of the plant inside the planter body 2.

[0025] There are multiple ventilation holes 3 to ensure air circulation within the soil, and at least one ventilation port 4 to ensure that outside air can pass smoothly through the ventilation holes 3. Together, they enhance the ventilation performance of the flowerpot body 2, which is beneficial for plant root respiration. The flowerpot body 2 is suspended and supported on the support base 1, avoiding direct contact between the bottom of the flowerpot and the surface of the support base 1. Sufficient gaps are reserved for air circulation, which significantly improves soil permeability and ensures that plant roots can continuously obtain fresh air. This effectively reduces problems such as root suffocation and root rot caused by insufficient ventilation, and ensures healthy plant growth.

[0026] The left and right sides of the lifting hoop 5 are symmetrically fixed with fixing frames 6. The fixing frames 6 are slidably connected to the pressure groove opened inside the bearing seat 1. The pressure groove inside the bearing seat 1 is fixed with a piezoelectric switch 7. A spring 8 is fixed between the piezoelectric switch 7 and the fixing frame 6.

[0027] The lifting hoop 5 has an arc-shaped structure that fits the outer wall of the flowerpot body 2. The lifting hoop 5 provides a lifting base, which can lift the flowerpot body 2 and suspend it inside the support seat 1 to improve the ventilation effect. It suspends the flowerpot body 2 on the support seat 1 to avoid the bottom of the flowerpot directly contacting the surface of the support seat 1, leaving sufficient gaps for air circulation and significantly improving soil permeability.

[0028] A water inlet pipe 10 is connected between the input end of the water pump 9 and the surface of the water tank 16. A water outlet pipe 11 is fixed to the output end of the water pump 9. The water outlet pipe 11 passes through the surface of the support base 1 and is connected to the water supply pipe 12 fixed to the surface of the support base 1. The top end of the water supply pipe 12 is connected to the spray head 13. The spray head 13 connected to the top end of the water supply pipe 12 sprays water out. The water outlet is directly facing the top of the flowerpot body 2, realizing automatic watering irrigation of the plants in the flowerpot.

[0029] An isolation plate 14 is slidably connected inside the support base 1. A filter screen 15 is fixed in the middle of the surface of the isolation plate 14. The filter screen 15 is directly opposite the bottom of the flowerpot body 2 and is located directly above the water collection tank 16. A handle 17 is fixed to one end of the isolation plate 14. The filter screen 15 filters the water that flows back after irrigation. The water collection tank 16 collects the filtered water that can be reused, realizing water resource recycling. The filter screen 15 is directly opposite the bottom of the flowerpot and filters the backflow water to remove soil impurities from the water. The filtered water passes through the filter screen 15 and flows into the water collection tank 16 located directly below the isolation plate 14, realizing the recycling and storage of water resources for reuse in the next irrigation.

[0030] The isolation plate 14 has symmetrical sliding connection of locking blocks 18 on both sides inside. A spring 19 is fixed between the locking block 18 and the isolation plate 14. The bearing seat 1 has a locking groove 20 that matches the locking block 18. The isolation plate 14 can be installed and fixed quickly without additional tools. The connection is firm and not easy to loosen, ensuring the stability of the filtration and water storage process.

[0031] A push block 21 is provided on the side of the bearing seat 1 near the locking groove 20. A pull rod 23 is fixed on the surface of the push block 21. The pull rod 23 is slidably connected in the pull groove opened inside the bearing seat 1. A spring 3 22 is fixed between the push block 21 and the bearing seat 1, which facilitates disassembly and maintenance and reduces the difficulty of cleaning. When it is necessary to clean the filter screen 15, the filter screen 15 can be cleaned without complicated operation. The maintenance process is simple and efficient.

[0032] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When in use, the flowerpot body 2 is placed inside the support hoop 5 above the support base 1. The support hoop 5 has an arc-shaped structure and is adapted to the outer wall of the flowerpot body 2. The flowerpot is suspended and supported on the support base 1 by the fixing brackets 6 on the left and right sides, avoiding direct contact between the bottom of the flowerpot and the surface of the support base 1. Space is reserved for ventilation. Multiple ventilation holes 3 are opened at the bottom of the flowerpot body 2 for air circulation inside the soil. At least one ventilation port 4 is opened at the bottom edge. Outside air can enter the gap between the bottom of the flowerpot and the support base 1 through the ventilation port 4, and then enter the soil through the ventilation hole 3, forming an air circulation channel, improving the ventilation performance of the flowerpot body 2, and ensuring the respiration of the plant roots.

[0033] Furthermore, when the soil moisture inside the flowerpot body 2 decreases and the overall weight decreases, the spring 8 pushes the fixing frame 6 to slide upward, reducing the pressure of the fixing frame 6 on the piezoelectric switch 7. The piezoelectric switch 7 is triggered and closed, energizing and starting the water pump 9. After the water pump 9 starts, it draws water from the water tank 16 through the inlet pipe 10. The water flows through the outlet pipe 11 and is delivered to the water supply pipe 12. The water spray head 13 connected to the top of the water supply pipe 12 sprays water out, with the outlet facing the top of the flowerpot body 2, thus realizing automatic watering and irrigation of the plants inside the flowerpot. When the soil absorbs water, the overall weight of the flowerpot increases, and the fixing frame 6 compresses the spring 8 downward, increasing the pressure on the piezoelectric switch 7. The piezoelectric switch 7 is then disconnected, and the water pump 9 stops working, completing one automatic irrigation cycle.

[0034] It should be noted that during irrigation, excess water seeps out through the vent holes 3 at the bottom of the flowerpot body 2 and drips onto the surface of the isolation plate 14 inside the support base 1. The filter screen 15 fixed in the middle of the isolation plate 14 faces the bottom of the flowerpot and filters the backflow water to remove soil impurities. The filtered water passes through the filter screen 15 and flows into the water collection tank 16 located directly below the isolation plate 14, realizing the recycling and storage of water resources for reuse in the next irrigation.

[0035] Furthermore, the isolation plate 14 is installed inside the support base 1 by sliding. During installation, the locking blocks 18 on both sides of the isolation plate 14 are squeezed by the inner wall of the support base 1, and the compression spring 19 retracts into the isolation plate 14. When the isolation plate 14 is fully pushed in, the locking blocks 18 are aligned with the locking groove 20 inside the support base 1. The spring 19 resets and pushes the locking blocks 18 into the locking groove 20, thus fixing the isolation plate 14. When it is necessary to clean the filter screen 15, pull the pull rod 23 on the side of the support base 1. The pull rod 23 drives the push block 21 to compress the spring 22. The push block 21 extends into the locking groove 20 and pushes out the locking blocks 18. At this time, the isolation plate 14 can be pulled out from the support base 1 by the handle 17 for easy cleaning and maintenance.
