Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garden facilities technology, and more specifically, to a modular garden water storage and planting unit. Background Technology

[0002] In landscape construction, planting units are indispensable facilities used to plant various flowers, shrubs, trees, and other plants to beautify the environment. Currently, most existing landscape planting units are monolithic structures with fixed sizes and shapes, making it impossible to flexibly adjust them according to actual planting needs and landscape layout. When it is necessary to change the planting area or layout, planting units need to be replaced or rebuilt, which is cumbersome and costly. Meanwhile, most existing planting units lack water storage capabilities, resulting in the direct loss of excess water during watering or rainfall, thus wasting water resources. During dry seasons, frequent irrigation is necessary, increasing the workload and cost of garden maintenance. Furthermore, some planting units with water storage functions have poorly designed water storage structures, preventing the even and slow supply of water to the plants, which can easily lead to root rot or dehydration, hindering normal plant growth. Therefore, developing a garden planting unit that can be flexibly combined and has efficient water storage and supply functions has become an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned problems in the existing technology and provide a modular garden water storage and planting unit to realize the flexible combination of planting units, improve the utilization rate of water resources, and provide a stable water supply for plant growth.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A modular garden water-retaining planting unit includes a top frame, a water collection cover, a planting cavity, and a water storage tank. The planting cavity has a cylindrical structure with a conical water collection cover connected to its upper end. A square top frame is fixed to the upper end of the water collection cover. A water storage tank is fixedly connected to the bottom of the planting cavity, and the bottom of the water storage tank has an arc-shaped recessed cavity. A partition is provided inside the planting cavity, and water-permeable holes are evenly distributed on the partition. A water-absorbing component is provided inside the planting cavity. An overflow port is opened on the top surface of the water storage tank.

[0005] Furthermore, the water-absorbing component includes water-guiding columns, a water-absorbing pad, and a water-absorbing rod; the water-absorbing pad is laid on the partition, and several water-guiding columns are evenly distributed on the upper side of the water-absorbing pad. An integral water-absorbing rod is fixed on the bottom surface of the water-absorbing pad, and the lower end of the water-absorbing rod penetrates the partition and extends into the water storage tank to near the bottom.

[0006] Furthermore, the top and side surfaces of the top frame are evenly provided with several splicing holes for connecting adjacent planting units.

[0007] Furthermore, the implantation cavity is provided with several ventilation holes evenly distributed on its annular surface.

[0008] Furthermore, a layer of mesh fabric is adhered to the inner wall of the implantation cavity.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the top frame is fixedly connected to the water storage tank via a connecting pillar near the corner.

[0010] Furthermore, a drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the recessed cavity on the water storage tank, and a removable sealing plug is provided inside the drain outlet.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the water storage tank is fixed with integrated support legs near the four corners, and the bottom surface of the support legs is lower than the bottom surface of the sealing plug.

A single planting unit can be used independently or expanded indefinitely, which greatly reduces the cost and difficulty of adjusting the garden layout and improves the utilization rate of facilities.

[0013] 2. This utility model can efficiently collect rainwater or irrigation water through a cone-shaped water collection cover. After flowing into the planting cavity, the water is stored in the water storage tank through the permeable holes, realizing the recycling of water resources. The volume of the water storage tank can be designed to fit the size of the planting cavity, meeting the water needs of plants for 1-7 days. In dry seasons, frequent irrigation is not required, significantly reducing the workload of garden maintenance and water consumption. The overflow outlet avoids the problem of root water accumulation caused by excessive water storage, ensuring the safety of plant growth.

[0014] 3. In this utility model, the water-absorbing component absorbs water from the water storage tank through the water-absorbing rod and evenly diffuses it into the soil of the planting cavity through the water-absorbing pad, so as to achieve water supply on demand, which not only ensures that the roots receive water continuously, but also avoids the soil from becoming too wet; the water-guiding column enhances the soil permeability, and together with the air vents and mesh of the planting cavity, it forms a "permeable-water-retaining" balanced environment, which effectively prevents the roots from lacking oxygen and rotting, and promotes the healthy growth of plant roots.

[0015] 4. This utility model ensures overall structural stability through the combined design of connecting pillars and legs, which can withstand the weight of soil and plants and is suitable for outdoor garden environments; the recessed cavity facilitates the settling of impurities, and the combination of the drain outlet and the sealing plug can quickly clean the sediment and sewage in the water storage tank without disassembling the entire planting unit, making maintenance simple and efficient; the combination design of mesh and ventilation holes prevents soil loss and ensures air circulation, extending the service life of the planting unit.

[0016] 5.

[0025] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0026] Example 1: like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a modular garden water storage planting unit, including a top frame 1, a water collection cover 2, a planting cavity 3 and a water storage tank 4. The components work together to form a complete planting-water storage system.

[0027] The planting cavity 3 is a cylindrical structure that runs vertically through the plant. It is preferably a circular or polygonal cylindrical body, which facilitates modular splicing and allows plant roots to spread out. A conical water collection cover 2 is integrally connected to its upper end. The cone angle of the water collection cover 2 is 30°-60°, which ensures that rainwater flows quickly along the inner wall and avoids residue. A square top frame 1 is integrally provided on the upper end of the water collection cover 2. The top frame 1 and the edge of the water collection cover 2 are sealed and smoothly transitioned to prevent rainwater leakage.

[0028] In this embodiment, the bottom of the planting cavity 3 is fixedly connected to the water storage tank 4 by an integral molding method. The water storage tank 4 has a box-shaped structure with an arc-shaped recessed cavity 9 at its bottom. The recessed cavity 9 converges towards the center, which facilitates the settling and centralized cleaning of impurities. An overflow port 7 is opened at the edge of the top surface of the water storage tank 4. The overflow port 7 is connected to the inside of the water storage tank 4. When the water level in the water storage tank 4 exceeds the set height, the excess water is discharged through the overflow port 7 to prevent water from overflowing into the planting cavity 3 and flooding the roots.

[0029] Furthermore, a partition 14 is horizontally installed inside the planting cavity 3. The partition 14 is sealed and fixed to the inner wall of the planting cavity 3. Water permeable holes 15 with a diameter of 2-5mm are evenly distributed on the partition 14. The spacing between the water permeable holes 15 is 10-15mm, which ensures that excess water in the soil can quickly penetrate into the water storage tank 4, while preventing soil particles from being lost.

[0030] In this embodiment, a water-absorbing assembly 13 is laid on the partition 14. The water-absorbing assembly 13 includes water-guiding columns 131, a water-absorbing pad 132, and a water-absorbing rod 133. The water-absorbing pad 132 is a sheet structure that completely covers the upper surface of the partition 14. Several water-guiding columns 131 are evenly distributed on the upper side of the water-absorbing pad 132. The water-guiding columns 131 are hollow columnar structures with several seepage holes on their outer walls. The height of the water-guiding columns 131 is adapted to the depth of the planting cavity 3 to guide water to penetrate into the deeper soil layers and enhance soil permeability. A water-absorbing rod 133 is integrally formed on the bottom surface of the water-absorbing pad 132. The water-absorbing rod 133 is a solid columnar structure with a diameter of 8-12 mm. Its lower end passes through the reserved holes on the top surface of the partition 14 and the water storage tank 4, extending into the interior of the water storage tank 4 near the bottom, 5-10 mm away from the bottom of the recessed cavity 9, to realize the conduction of water from the water storage tank 4 to the water-absorbing pad 132.

[0031] Among them, the water guiding column 131, the water-absorbing pad 132 and the water-absorbing rod 133 are made of the same material, preferably non-woven fabric or water-absorbing cotton, which has high water absorption and water retention.

[0032] In this embodiment, ventilation holes 11 with a diameter of 3-6 mm are evenly distributed on the annular surface of the planting cavity 3. The ventilation holes 11 are arranged in two rows along the circumference of the planting cavity 3 to ensure the circulation of soil and outside air and improve the oxygen content of the roots. A layer of mesh 12 is pasted on the inner wall of the planting cavity 3. The mesh 12 covers the inside of the ventilation holes 11 to prevent soil particles from being lost from the ventilation holes 11, while not affecting gas exchange.

[0033] In this embodiment, a number of splicing holes 8 are evenly distributed on the top surface and four sides of the top frame 1. The splicing holes 8 are threaded holes or through holes. Adjacent planting units can be fixedly connected by bolts passing through the splicing holes 8, or quickly spliced ​​by cable ties passing through the splicing holes 8. After splicing, adjacent top frames 1 fit tightly together to ensure overall stability.

[0034] To further explain, connecting pillars 6 are vertically fixed at the four corners of the bottom surface of the top frame 1. The lower end of the connecting pillars 6 is fixedly connected to the edge of the top surface of the water storage tank 4. The connecting pillars 6 are made of hollow metal tubes or high-strength plastic rods, which not only support the top frame 1 and the planting cavity 3, but also ensure the overall structural strength of the planting unit.

[0035] In addition, the bottom of the water storage tank 4 is integrally formed with support legs 5 near the four corners. The support legs 5 are columnar structures, and the bottom surface of the support legs 5 is lower than the bottom surface of the sealing plug 10, ensuring that the bottom of the water storage tank 4 is suspended and avoiding contact between the sealing plug 10 and the ground, which may cause wear or sealing failure.

[0036] In this embodiment, a drain port 17 is provided at the center of the bottom of the recessed cavity 9 of the water storage tank 4. The drain port 17 is a circular through hole with internal threads on the inner wall. A sealing plug 10 is detachably connected inside the drain port 17. The outer wall of the sealing plug 10 is provided with external threads, which are threaded and sealed with the drain port 17. By unscrewing the sealing plug 10, the impurities and sewage that have settled in the water storage tank 4 can be discharged, which is convenient for maintenance and cleaning.

[0037] Example 2: This embodiment provides the working principle of a modular garden water storage and planting unit:

[0038] 1. Modular splicing: According to the needs of garden planting, multiple planting units are connected through the splicing holes 8 on the top frame 1 and fixed with bolts or buckle connectors to form the required planting array; when splicing, ensure that the adjacent top frames 1 fit tightly to prevent rainwater from leaking from the splicing gaps.

[0039] 2. Planting operation: Fill the planting cavity 3 with planting soil, cover the top of the water guide column 131 with soil by 5-10 mm, and plant the seedlings or roots into the soil to complete the planting.

[0040] 3. Water storage and supply: During rainfall, the water collection cover 2 collects rainwater and flows into the planting cavity 3. The water then permeates through the permeable holes 15 into the water storage tank 4 for storage. During drought, the water-absorbing rod 133 absorbs water from the water storage tank 4, conducts it to the water-absorbing pad 132, and then slowly releases it into the soil through the water guide column 131 to achieve continuous water supply. When the water storage tank 4 is full, excess water is discharged through the overflow port 7.

[0041] 4. Maintenance and cleaning: Every 1-3 months, unscrew the sealing plug 10 and drain the settled soil impurities, root debris, etc. in the water storage tank 4 through the drain outlet 17. If necessary, clean water can be injected into the water storage tank 4 to rinse it. After cleaning, tighten the sealing plug 10 again. When the water absorption component 13 ages, the top frame 1 and water collection cover 2 can be removed, and the water absorption pad 132 and water absorption rod 133 can be replaced.

[0042] This utility model, through scientific structural design, achieves multiple functions such as modular combination, efficient water storage, stable water supply and convenient maintenance, solves the core pain points of existing garden planting units, is applicable to various garden landscape construction scenarios, and has significant practical and promotional value.

[0043] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to exhaustively list all the implementation methods here. Any obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
