Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic flower pot technology, specifically to a ceramic flower pot filter structure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, ceramic flower pots are widely used in indoor plant care and landscaping as common household and gardening containers. Traditional ceramic flower pots typically consist of a closed pot body and drainage holes at the bottom, with planting soil directly filled inside and moisture replenished by manual watering. To improve the evenness of water supply within the pot, some products incorporate a water storage layer or a water-resistant mesh at the bottom, but overall, there are still significant structural and functional deficiencies.

[0003] In existing typical structures, passive water supply is often achieved using a bottom water storage tank or absorbent cotton layer. The principle is to transport water upward through capillary action or pore permeation. However, this method is greatly affected by soil water absorption and environmental humidity, often resulting in uneven watering, local water accumulation, or drying out, making it difficult to maintain a stable humidity control effect in the long term.

[0004] Furthermore, if existing flowerpots are to incorporate filtration and slow-release functions, they typically require a separate external water tank or drip irrigation system. These structures are complex to install, bulky, and difficult to integrate with ceramic flowerpots. For the average user, cleaning and maintenance are tedious, affecting both aesthetics and practicality.

[0005] On the other hand, some improved flower pots attempt to incorporate internal filter cartridges or layered water pipes, but their filter materials are not removable and difficult to replace. After long-term use, they are prone to clogging or the growth of algae and insects, leading to poor water supply. Especially in summer, stagnant water exposed to the air easily attracts flying insects, affecting indoor hygiene.

[0006] In view of this, we have studied and improved the existing problems to provide a ceramic flowerpot filter structure to solve the current problems. The aim of this technology is to solve the problems and improve the practical value. Utility Model Content

[0007] This utility model aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0008] Therefore, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a ceramic flowerpot filter structure, including a flowerpot body and a filter cylinder.

[0009] The filter cartridge is a detachable modular structure, installed on the inner wall of the flowerpot body, and can be quickly fixed and removed via a side-hanging connection. The filter cartridge includes a filter element, a slow-release nozzle, and a filter layer assembly located inside the filter element. The slow-release nozzle is threaded to the bottom of the filter element, achieving a sealed assembly and replaceability, allowing stored water to be slowly released through micropores to the soil layer at the bottom of the flowerpot, thus forming stable humidity control. The filter layer assembly adopts a multi-layer composite structure, achieving automatic cleaning and slow-release water supply functions through step-by-step filtration and water purification. Through the above structural design, this utility model realizes a functional module integrating filtration, water storage, slow release, and insect prevention, enabling the ceramic flowerpot to maintain an aesthetic appearance while possessing intelligent water management capabilities. The filter cartridge includes a filter element, a slow-release nozzle, and a filter layer assembly. The bottom of the filter element is threaded to the slow-release nozzle, achieving a stable seepage-proof seal. The slow-release nozzle controls the water release rate through its internal microporous structure, allowing water to permeate evenly along the bottom of the flowerpot, thereby maintaining the moisture of the planting soil layer.

[0010] Specifically, the structure enables automatic slow release and long-term water supply, avoiding the problem of uneven moisture balance caused by uneven manual watering.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the filter bed is further configured as follows: the filter bed is a multi-layer composite structure, including an upper coarse sand layer, an intermediate activated carbon layer, and a lower microporous ceramsite layer. The coarse sand layer performs primary filtration and prevents particle clogging, the activated carbon layer adsorbs organic impurities and odors, and the microporous ceramsite layer further filters fine suspended particles and regulates the water permeation rate.

[0012] Specifically, this multi-layered structure enables multi-stage filtration and water purification, ensuring the cleanliness of the slow-release water and maintaining the soil's micro-ecological balance.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the inverted bucket opening is further configured as follows: the opening is an inwardly tapered structure, facing upwards and communicating with the inner cavity of the filter element, which can form a guiding zone during water injection. The water flows along the conical surface into the filter bed assembly, preventing overflow and splashing.

[0014] Specifically, the design achieves directional injection and anti-splashing effects, while forming a closed water layer in a static state, which helps to suppress the escape of flying mosquitoes.

[0015] In a preferred example, the hook is further configured to cooperate with the hanging groove on the inner wall of the flowerpot body, and the filter cartridge is quickly assembled and disassembled by a snap-fit ​​connection.

[0016] Specifically, the structure allows for tool-free modular installation, facilitating daily maintenance and filter replacement, and improving operational convenience.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the slow-release nozzle is further configured to have a microporous structure with a micropore diameter of 0.2 mm to 0.8 mm, which can achieve a constant rate of seepage based on water pressure difference and gravity, preventing instantaneous discharge or blockage.

[0018] Specifically, the design achieves stable constant flow slow release and long-term moisture retention, effectively extending the irrigation cycle.

[0019] In a preferred example, the filter cartridge is further configured such that the outer wall of the cartridge is an arc-shaped structure and the inner cavity is arranged in a funnel shape to increase the liquid storage volume and form a natural flow path.

[0020] Specifically, the design achieves high-volume liquid storage and gravity-guided filtration, improving water filtration efficiency and water supply stability.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the hook and side panel are further configured as an integrally molded structure made of an elastic polymer material, which can elastically deform and automatically reset during snap-fit ​​assembly.

[0022] Specifically, this design improves the stability and lifespan of the snap-fit, maintaining a secure fit even after multiple installations and disassemblies.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the filter layer assembly and the filter cartridge are further configured to be detachably connected via a snap ring structure, allowing the filter layer to be removed for cleaning or replacement according to the usage cycle.

[0024] Specifically, this structure enables internal maintainability and long-term reuse, reducing overall usage costs.

[0025] The beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0026] 1. In this utility model, by setting a detachable filter cylinder structure inside the flowerpot body and adopting a combination design of filter cylinder components, slow-release nozzles, and multi-layer filter layers, the functions of water storage, filtration, slow release, and insect prevention are integrated. The slow-release nozzle, connected by threads and equipped with a microporous structure, allows water to be slowly released into the soil under gravity, significantly improving the uniformity and controllability of water supply and avoiding the problems of uneven watering or waterlogging and root rot that occur with traditional flowerpots.

[0027] 2. In this utility model, the filter cartridge is quickly installed and disassembled via a side plate and hook that works in conjunction with the hanging groove on the inner wall of the flowerpot, facilitating cleaning and replacement of the internal filter layer. The filter layer assembly adopts a multi-stage filtration design consisting of a coarse sand layer, an activated carbon layer, and a ceramic particle layer, which can effectively intercept impurities, absorb odors, and achieve slow-release water guidance. The inverted spout structure forms a flow guiding and splash-proof zone when water is poured in, while inhibiting the escape of mosquitoes and water evaporation when the system is stationary, thus improving the overall hygiene and ease of use of the flowerpot system.

[0034] 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 specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features of the present utility model can be combined with each other.

[0035] It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this invention.

[0036] The following describes, with reference to the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of a ceramic flowerpot filter structure provided by this utility model.

[0037] Combination Figures 1-3 As shown, the present invention provides a ceramic flowerpot filter structure, including a flowerpot body 100 and a filter cylinder 200. The flowerpot body 100 is made entirely of ceramic material, with its bottom for filling with planting soil and a hanging groove structure on one side of its inner wall for installing the filter cylinder 200.

[0038] The filter cartridge 200 has a hollow shell structure and is used for water storage, filtration, and slow release. The filter cartridge 200 includes a filter element 210, a slow-release nozzle 220, and a filter layer assembly 230 located inside the filter element 210. The filter element 210 has an arc-shaped sidewall structure, its outer wall fitting the inner wall of the flowerpot body 100, and its inner cavity is arranged in a funnel shape for liquid collection and flow guidance. The bottom end of the filter element 210 is threaded to the slow-release nozzle 220, and a sealing ring is provided at the connection to prevent leakage.

[0039] The slow-release nozzle 220 has a conical structure with multiple micropores on its inner wall. The micropores have a diameter of 0.2mm to 0.8mm, which can slowly release water into the soil layer at the bottom of the flowerpot body 100 under the action of gravity, achieving quantitative water supply and humidity balance. This structure can maintain stable soil moisture during long-term irrigation cycles, preventing waterlogging and root rot.

[0040] The filter layer assembly 230 is arranged inside the filter cartridge 210 and has a multi-layer composite structure, including an upper coarse sand layer, a middle activated carbon layer, and a lower microporous ceramsite layer, with each layer stacked sequentially. The coarse sand layer is used to initially intercept larger particulate impurities, the activated carbon layer is used to adsorb odors and organic matter, and the microporous ceramsite layer is used for secondary filtration and slow release of water. Through this multi-stage filtration structure, the stored water can be effectively purified, maintaining the cleanliness of irrigation water.

[0041] A side plate 211 is provided on one side of the filter cartridge 210. A hook 212 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the side plate 211 for quick installation and removal of the filter cartridge 200 on the inner wall of the flowerpot body 100. The hook 212 cooperates with the hanging groove on the inner wall of the flowerpot body 100, adopting a snap-fit ​​connection structure. When inserted, it is positioned by elastic deformation, achieving tool-free installation. The hook 212 and the side plate 211 can be integrally molded, preferably made of elastic polymer material, which has good resilience and fatigue resistance, ensuring long-term stability.

[0042] The top of the filter element 210 is provided with an inverted funnel opening 213, which has an inwardly tapered structure with its opening facing upward and communicating with the inner cavity of the filter element 210. The inverted funnel opening 213 facilitates the concentrated injection of water into the filter layer assembly 230, achieving the functions of guiding flow and preventing splashing. At the same time, the shape design of the inverted funnel opening 213 can form a local water seal area in the flowerpot, which can prevent flying insects from escaping and reduce evaporation loss.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the filter layer assembly 230 and the filter cartridge 210 are detachably connected by a retaining ring structure, so that the filter layer can be removed, replaced or cleaned according to the usage cycle, thereby improving service life and maintenance convenience.

[0044] In summary, this utility model, through its modular filter cartridge design, enables the flowerpot to integrate water storage, filtration, slow release, and insect prevention functions, and has significant advantages such as simple structure, convenient installation, and long service life.

[0045] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0046] In use, the filter cartridge 200 is inserted into the hanging groove on the inner wall of the flowerpot body 100 via the hook 212 and secured, ensuring stable installation on the inner side wall of the flowerpot. The user can inject water into the filter cartridge 200 through the inverted spout 213. The water flows along the inner wall of the inverted spout into the interior of the filter cartridge 210, and undergoes purification and slow-release treatment through the multi-layered structure of the filter layer assembly 230.

[0047] When the water flows through the coarse sand layer, large particles of impurities are intercepted; when it flows through the activated carbon layer, odors and organic matter are adsorbed; after flowing through the expanded clay layer, the water gradually seeps into the bottom slow-release nozzle 220. The micropores on the inner wall of the slow-release nozzle 220 slowly release water under the action of hydraulic pressure difference, so that the water is evenly released into the soil layer at the bottom of the flowerpot body 100, realizing automatic and uniform humidity regulation.

[0048] Because the slow-release nozzle 220 adopts a microporous constant-flow structure, the water seepage rate can be controlled within a constant range, thus achieving long-term water supply without the need for frequent manual watering. At the same time, the inverted bucket opening 213 structure can form a closed water surface area, preventing mosquito breeding and water evaporation, improving hygiene and efficiency.

[0049] When maintenance is required, the user can gently pull the hook 212 to remove the filter cartridge 200 as a whole, unscrew the slow-release nozzle 220 to clean the filter layer assembly 230 or replace the internal filter media. The operation is simple and quick.

[0050] Based on the above working principle, this utility model realizes the comprehensive functions of automatic slow-release water supply, layered filtration and purification, insect and overflow prevention, and detachable maintenance, which significantly improves the practicality, safety and long-term use effect of ceramic flower pots.
