Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant cultivation technology, specifically to a desert planting device. Background Technology

[0002] my country has vast desert and arid regions with fragile ecosystems. Ensuring the survival rate of planted vegetation is a key challenge when carrying out vegetation restoration and ecological construction in these areas. Water is the most critical factor restricting plant growth.

[0003] Currently, in desert afforestation practices, water-saving irrigation methods such as drip irrigation and seepage irrigation are commonly used, or water storage devices (such as water bags and ceramic pots) are directly buried at the roots of seedlings for water replenishment. However, these methods have significant limitations: First, drip irrigation and seepage irrigation require the laying of pipelines, resulting in large infrastructure investments and high maintenance costs, and are difficult to implement comprehensively in my country's vast and remote desert areas. Second, for water storage devices directly buried underground, the water replenishment process is difficult to control, and the sand above the storage devices is directly exposed to the air. Under the intense sunlight and high temperatures of the desert, water evaporates rapidly from the sand surface, leading to significant water waste and low irrigation efficiency. Furthermore, the exposed water storage containers themselves absorb solar radiation heat, exacerbating internal water evaporation losses. This results in the actual usable effective water for plants being far lower than the supplied amount, and seedlings still face the risk of dying from dehydration. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the limitations of water storage devices directly buried underground, this invention proposes a desert planting device that connects the water collection box cavity to the sand via a diversion rope, utilizing the capillary action principle to achieve automatic, slow, and continuous water release.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A desert planting device includes a heat insulation component, a water collection box and a drainage rope. The water collection box is provided with a cavity for containing liquid. The heat insulation component is detachably connected to the upper inner wall of the water collection box. The upper surface of the heat insulation component is provided with a reflective layer. One end of the drainage rope passes through the bottom of the water collection box and is placed inside the cavity. The other end of the drainage rope extends to the outside of the water collection box.

[0006] Optionally, the heat insulation component includes a heat insulation plate and a connecting ring plate arranged around the periphery of the heat insulation plate. The connecting ring plate is detachably connected to the water collection box, and a reflective layer is provided on the upper surface of the heat insulation plate.

[0007] Optionally, the heat insulation plate includes a plurality of spaced-apart first protrusions and recesses, wherein the recesses are recessed toward the side of the heat insulation plate facing the water collection box to form a second protrusion.

[0008] Optionally, the end face of the second protrusion facing the inner wall of the water collection box is provided with a protruding strip, and the diameter of the connecting ring plate is larger than the diameter of the water collection box.

[0009] Optionally, the water collection box is provided with a water collection plate inside, the side plate of the water collection box is provided with a first through hole, and the side of the heat insulation plate facing the water collection plate is provided with a second through hole. The first through hole, the second through hole, and the recess are connected in sequence. The heat insulation plate and the water collection plate are respectively inclined from the periphery to the center. The center of the heat insulation plate and the water collection plate are respectively provided with a guide hole communicating with the cavity.

[0010] Optionally, a guide tube is installed inside the guide hole, and the guide tube extends to the bottom of the cavity.

[0011] Optionally, the inner wall of the water collection box is provided with an annular step, and the water collection plate is provided with an annular protrusion that abuts against the annular step.

[0012] Optionally, the inner wall of the water collection box is provided with multiple limiting blocks, which are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the annular step, and the water collection plate is provided with multiple limiting grooves that correspond to and cooperate with the limiting blocks one by one.

[0013] Optionally, a protective cover is also included. The water collection box has a hollow support cylinder that penetrates the bottom surface. One end of the protective cover is located outside the heat insulation plate, and the other end of the protective cover passes through the heat insulation plate and the water collection plate in sequence and is connected to the protective cover. The protective cover has multiple vent holes along the axial direction.

[0014] Optionally, the water collection plate is provided with an observation hole, the observation hole is equipped with an observation cap, and the heat insulation plate is provided with a third through hole for the observation cap to pass through.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By connecting the water collection box cavity to the sand through a diversion rope, and utilizing the principle of capillary action, automatic, slow, and continuous water release is achieved. This method mimics the water retention characteristics of soil in nature, forming a stable micro-moistened irrigation zone around the plant roots. This avoids the drastic fluctuations of "sudden dryness and wetness" in traditional irrigation, which is extremely beneficial to the absorption and growth of plant roots and effectively prevents seedlings from drying out due to intermittent water shortage. Furthermore, the reflective layer set on the upper surface of the heat insulation component reflects most of the solar radiation heat back, significantly reducing the temperature of the device itself, especially the upper part of the water collection box and the internal air, further inhibiting water evaporation caused by high temperatures.

[0020] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a desert planting device, including a heat insulation component 1, a water collection box 2, and a drainage rope 3. The water collection box 2 is typically an open-top container, with an internal cavity 201 for storing water (or other liquids). The heat insulation component 1 is detachably connected to the upper inner wall of the water collection box 2, sealing the top opening of the cavity 201. A reflective layer 101 is provided on the upper surface of the heat insulation component 1. This reflective layer 101 can be a plated metal film or an adhered reflective film, used to reflect sunlight and reduce the solar radiation heat absorbed by the device as a whole. The drainage rope 3 is preferably made of a material with good water absorption, such as cotton, hemp, or microfiber. One end of the rope passes through a hole at the bottom of the water collection box 2 and extends into the cavity 201, directly contacting the liquid, while the other end is buried in the sand surrounding the water collection box 2. In use, the cavity 201 is filled with water. The drainage rope 3 utilizes capillary action to continuously and slowly guide the water in the cavity 201 to the surrounding sand, providing a stable water supply for the plant roots. At the same time, the heat insulation component 1 and its reflective layer 101 above can effectively block the high temperature generated by direct sunlight, significantly reducing the evaporation loss of water in the cavity 201, thereby achieving efficient water conservation.

[0022] The heat insulation component 1 specifically includes a heat insulation plate 102 and a connecting ring plate 103 fixed around the periphery of the heat insulation plate 102. The connecting ring plate 103 is detachably connected to the upper inner wall of the water collection box 2 by means of threads, snaps, or interference fits, making the entire heat insulation component 1 easy to install and disassemble for maintenance or cleaning. The reflective layer 101 is disposed on the upper surface of the heat insulation plate 102.

[0023] To further enhance structural strength and guide potential condensation, the upper surface of the insulation plate 102 is constructed with multiple spaced-apart first protrusions 104 and recesses 105. These irregular structures increase the rigidity of the insulation plate 102, making it less prone to deformation. More importantly, viewed from the lower surface of the insulation plate 102, the recessed area 105 is actually recessed towards the interior of the water collection box 2, thus forming a second protrusion 106. The structure of the first protrusions 104 and recesses 105 enhances the mechanical properties of the insulation plate 102, making it less prone to warping due to external forces or temperature changes. Simultaneously, this structure also guides the flow of potential nighttime condensation.

[0024] Furthermore, an annular protrusion 107 is provided on the end face of the second protrusion 106 facing the inner wall of the water collection box 2. In addition, the diameter of the connecting ring plate 103 is designed to be slightly larger than the diameter of the upper port of the water collection box 2. When the insulation assembly 1 is installed in place, the protrusion 107 will tightly abut against the inner wall of the water collection box 2, forming an effective seal, further preventing water vapor from escaping through gaps and enhancing the anti-evaporation effect. Because the connecting ring plate 103 has a larger diameter, when disassembly is needed, the user can easily pry up the connecting ring plate 103 with their fingers or tools to remove the insulation assembly 1 as a whole, making the operation very convenient.

[0025] To collect condensate from the air, a water collection plate 4 is added inside the water collection box 2 in this embodiment. A first through-hole 202 is provided on the side wall of the water collection box 2 to allow outside air to enter. A second through-hole 108 is provided at a corresponding position on the side of the heat insulation plate 102 facing the water collection plate 4 (i.e., the lower surface). When cooler outside air (such as at night) enters through the first through-hole 202 and comes into contact with the cooler water collection plate 4 and the heat insulation plate, the water vapor in the air will condense into water droplets. Both the heat insulation plate 102 and the water collection plate 4 are designed as conical or funnel-shaped structures that slope from the periphery to the center. The condensed water droplets, as well as a small amount of rainwater that may enter through the second through-hole 108, will flow along the inclined surface of the water collection plate 4 towards the center. A guide hole 109 is provided at the center of both the heat insulation plate 102 and the water collection plate 4. These guide holes 109 are aligned vertically so that the collected water flow can ultimately flow into the lower cavity 201. This structure cleverly utilizes the diurnal temperature difference to collect moisture from the air, achieving "water extraction from the air," replenishing the water source of the cavity 201, and enhancing the device's self-sustaining ability in arid environments.

[0026] To ensure a smoother flow of replenished water into the bottom of the cavity 201 and prevent evaporation en route, a guide pipe 5 is installed inside the guide hole 109. This guide pipe 5 extends downwards until it approaches the bottom of the cavity 201. The guide pipe 5 directly delivers the collected condensate to the water body at the bottom of the cavity, preventing water droplets from evaporating due to contact with the dry air inside the water collection box 2 during their descent, thus improving water collection efficiency.

[0027] To ensure stable and reliable installation of the water collection plate 4, an annular step 203 is provided on the inner wall of the water collection box 2. Correspondingly, an annular protrusion 401 is provided around the periphery of the water collection plate 4 to abut against the annular step 203. The annular protrusion 401 engages with the annular step 203, allowing the water collection plate 4 to be placed stably. To prevent the water collection plate 4 from rotating or shifting during use, multiple limiting blocks 204 are spaced circumferentially around the annular step 203 on the inner wall of the water collection box 2. Simultaneously, multiple limiting grooves 402 are formed on the water collection plate 4, each corresponding to one of these limiting blocks 204. During installation, the water collection plate 4 is lowered by aligning the limiting grooves 402 with the limiting blocks 204, allowing the limiting blocks 204 to engage in the locking position of the limiting grooves 402, achieving circumferential fixation. The cooperation between the annular step 203 and the annular protrusion 401 enables quick and stable installation of the water collection plate 4. The cooperation between the limiting block 204 and the limiting groove 402 effectively prevents the water collection plate 4 from loosening and rotating due to external force or vibration, ensuring that its tilt angle and the relative position of the guide hole are always correct, thus guaranteeing the reliability of the condensate collection function.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 To protect the seedlings from being eaten by animals, this device also includes a protective cover 6. A hollow support cylinder 205, penetrating the bottom of the water collection box 2, is located at its center. During planting, the seedling passes through the support cylinder 205. When the seedling grows taller than the water collection box 2, the lower end of the protective cover 6 passes sequentially through the heat insulation plate 102 and the guide hole 109 in the center of the water collection plate 4, and is inserted or threaded into the upper end of the support cylinder 205, ensuring the protective cover 6 is securely erected around the seedling. The protective cover 6 has multiple rows of ventilation holes 601 along its axial direction. The protective cover 6 provides physical protection for the seedling's stem, effectively preventing desert animals (such as rabbits and goats) from eating the seedlings, significantly improving the survival rate. The ventilation holes 601 on the protective cover 6 ensure air circulation, preventing the seedling stem from rotting due to prolonged exposure to a closed environment, while also not excessively affecting the plant's photosynthesis and growth.

[0029] Reference Figure 1To allow users to easily check the water level in the inner cavity 201 of the water collection box 2 without disassembling the device, and to replenish water in a timely manner, an observation hole 403 is provided on the water collection plate 4. An observation cap 7 is placed inside the observation hole 403. The observation cap 7 is preferably made of transparent engineering plastic (such as polycarbonate), and its edge may have a sealing ring to ensure it fits tightly inside the observation hole 403, preventing water vapor from evaporating. Correspondingly, a third through hole 110 is provided on the heat insulation plate 102 at the position corresponding to the observation cap 7. The size of this through hole allows the cap body of the observation cap 7 to pass through. When the user needs to check the water level, they can directly see the transparent observation cap 7 and the water level in the cavity 201 through the third through hole 110, making the operation extremely simple and intuitive. This design avoids frequent disassembly of the heat insulation component 1 to check the water level, saving the user's time and effort, and reducing the number of times the device's seal is compromised, thereby more effectively maintaining the sealed environment of the cavity 201 and preventing water evaporation. The tight fit between the observation cap 7 and the observation hole 403 ensures a seal when not in the observation state. In other examples, the observation cap 7 may also be made of a non-transparent material, allowing the operator to observe the water level in the cavity by removing the observation cap.
