Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vegetation cultivation and landscaping, specifically relating to a cultivation carrier for epiphytic plants that mimic the shape of rocks. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional artificial rock landscaping, plants are typically planted directly into pre-designed holes or recesses in the rocks, resulting in a fixed layout that is difficult to adjust. Due to the lack of effective connecting structures, transplanting or replacing plants requires disturbing the entire substrate, which can easily damage the root system and affect the survival rate. Furthermore, fixed planting methods have limited drainage capacity, easily leading to waterlogging and root rot, especially during periods of continuous rainfall or excessive irrigation, where poor drainage can cause nutrient loss. While some existing technologies offer detachable planting structures, they mostly rely on single connection points, lacking stability and failing to meet the needs of diverse landscape construction and long-term maintenance. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[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 Figure 1-3 This invention describes a specific embodiment of an epiphytic plant cultivation carrier that mimics the shape of artificial rocks, used to support plants and install them on artificial rocks, comprising: The connecting base 1 has a connecting part 11 formed on its top; The planting container 2 can be detachably connected to any position on the surface of the connecting base 1, and the bottom of the planting container 2 is provided with a plug-in part 21 that is plugged into the connecting part 11; The drainage system 3 is located inside the connecting base 1 and includes a water collection cavity 31 formed inside the connecting base 1 and a guide hole 32 opened on the top of the connecting base 1 and communicating with the water collection cavity 31. By combining the connecting base 1, planting container 2, and drainage system 3, plants can be flexibly installed on the artificial rock 4. The connecting part 11 at the top of the connecting base 1 can be detachably connected to the planting container 2 at any position, making it convenient for users to adjust the plant layout according to landscape needs. Specifically, by using the planting container 2 as a plant loading container connected to the connecting base 1, the plants can grow to a certain height on the connecting base 1 and then be moved to the artificial rock 4 along with the nutrient substrate for landscaping cultivation. At the same time, due to the convenient disassembly and reassembly of the planting container 2 on the connecting base 1, different planting containers 2 can be quickly spliced ​​to create mixed landscapes with different colors, types, and growth habits of plants. In addition, since the nutrient substrate is loaded through the planting container 2, it can be prevented from being washed away by water, and the loss can also be prevented from affecting the aesthetics of the artificial rock 4. The drainage system 3 effectively collects and drains excess water through the water collection chamber 31 and the guide hole 32, preventing water accumulation from damaging the plant roots and improving the plant survival rate.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 2-3As shown, the connecting part 11 consists of multiple male or female connectors arrayed on the top of the connecting base 1; the plug-in part 21 consists of multiple female or male connectors arrayed on the bottom of the planting container 2. Through the arrayed male and female connectors, multiple connection points are formed between the connecting base 1 and the planting container 2, improving the stability of the connection and the installation position. This allows the planting container 2 to be installed at any position on the surface of the connecting base 1, and enables quick disassembly and repositioning, facilitating plant maintenance or landscape adjustments. The interchangeability of the male and female connectors increases the flexibility of use. In this design, the top of the connecting base 1 forms the male connector, and the bottom of the planting container 2 forms the female connector, enabling rapid splicing and positioning between the connecting base 1 and the planting container 2.

[0022] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2-3 As shown, the male head is a circular protrusion structure, and the female head is a circular groove structure. The circular protrusion structure of the connecting base 1 and the circular groove structure of the planting container 2 are solidly and quickly spliced ​​and positioned to achieve a tight fit between the connecting base 1 and the planting container 2.

[0023] In other embodiments, please refer to Figures 2-3 As shown, the male connector has a circular stepped structure or the female connector has a circular stepped groove structure to create a gap between the connecting base 1 and the planting container 2. The circular stepped structure or circular stepped groove structure creates a controllable gap during splicing, which facilitates air circulation, prevents moisture accumulation at the connection point, and reduces the risk of mold or corrosion; the gap also allows for a small amount of drainage to pass through, avoiding localized water accumulation.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the planting container 2 has overflow holes 22 at the bottom and / or on the side walls. The overflow holes 22 are located at the bottom and / or on the side walls, and the drainage capacity can be flexibly adjusted according to the water requirements of the plants and the watering method. The bottom overflow holes 22 directly drain excess water to prevent the roots from being soaked. The side wall overflow holes 22 assist in drainage when the soil is saturated, and can retain some fluid inside the planting container 2 to ensure balanced humidity inside the container to meet the needs of plant growth. The different heights of the overflow holes 22 correspond to the growth habits of different plants, and the height of the overflow holes 22 on the planting container 2 can be arranged according to actual needs.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 2As shown, the drainage system 3 also includes drainage channels 33 arranged in a grid pattern or with multiple axes parallel to each other along the upper surface of the connecting base 1. The grid pattern or parallel axis drainage channels 33 cover most of the surface of the connecting base 1, which can efficiently collect water flowing out of the planting container 2, guide the water to the guide hole 32, and flow through the guide hole 32 to the water collection chamber 31 for collection, thereby improving the drainage effect. It should be noted that in order to prevent the nutrient substrate in the overflow hole 22 from flowing out synchronously with the fluid through the overflow hole 22, a gauze or filter structure can be set at the overflow hole 22 to block the flow of the nutrient substrate, so as to prevent it from clogging the guide hole 32 or overflowing onto the connecting base 1 and the artificial rock 4.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the guide hole 32 is opened in the drainage groove 33; the guide hole 32 is directly located in the drainage groove 33, so that the collected water can flow into the water collection chamber 31 quickly, reduce the residence time of water on the surface of the connecting base 1, and ensure smooth communication with the water collection chamber 31.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the drainage channel 33 has a slight slope toward the guide hole 32, which prevents water from stagnating or flowing back and reduces the risk of blockage.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the bottom or side wall of the connecting base 1 is provided with a drain hole 12 that communicates with the water collection chamber 31; the drain hole 12 is located at the bottom or side wall to allow the water in the water collection chamber 31 to be discharged to the external environment, preventing the water collection chamber 31 from overflowing. In actual use, to prevent the fluid collected in the water collection chamber 31 from overflowing onto the artificial rock 4, the drain hole 12 can be connected to a pipe to discharge the fluid in the water collection chamber 31 through the pipe in a reasonable manner, so as to avoid overflowing into the lower planting container 2.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-2 As shown, the connecting base 1 is connected to the imitation mountain stone 4 by adhesive or bolt. Both adhesive bonding and bolting can be used to connect the base 1 to the imitation mountain stone 4. Different connection methods are suitable for different surface shapes and inclinations of the imitation mountain stone 4. Adhesive bonding is suitable for smooth surfaces, while bolting is used for irregular surfaces that require stronger fixing force to ensure that the base 1 is stable and does not loosen, such as partially inclined planes.

[0030] Working principle of this utility model: The connecting base 1 is fixed to the surface of the artificial rock 4 by adhesive or bolts. The connecting parts 11 formed by the array on the top of the base 1 are connected to the insertion parts 21 at the bottom of the planting container 2 by plugging in to achieve a detachable connection. The connecting parts 11 on the top of the connecting base 1 form multiple connection positioning points. The multi-positioning point connection structure allows the planting container 2 to be quickly installed and removed at any position on the top of the connecting base 1. Users can flexibly adjust the plant layout according to landscape needs. For example, vegetation can be pre-planted on the connecting base 1. After it grows to a suitable height, the planting container 2 and the nutrient substrate can be moved as a whole to the artificial rock 4 for landscaping. Alternatively, different planting containers 2 can be used to mix and match different vegetation to achieve different landscaping effects.

[0031] Overflow holes 22 on the bottom and / or sidewalls of the planting container 2 are used to drain excess water. After watering, excess water flows out through the overflow holes 22 to the surface of the connecting base 1 and is guided to the guide holes 32 along the grid-like or parallel axis-distributed drainage channels 33. The drainage channels 33 have a slight slope towards the guide holes 32 to ensure that water is efficiently collected and flows into the water collection chamber 31, avoiding water accumulation. The water collected in the water collection chamber 31 is finally discharged through the drainage holes 12 on the bottom or sidewalls of the connecting base 1. If necessary, it can be guided to a suitable location through pipelines to prevent water overflow from affecting the lower plants or artificial rocks 4.

[0032] 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.
