Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of potted plants, and in particular to a composite planting device and a flexible combination drip irrigation system. Background Technology

[0002] When individual users cultivate ornamental plants in their homes (not in the wild), some plants (such as those with aerial roots, like dendrobiums and orchids) have very high requirements for root ventilation and humidity, needing a highly humid and well-ventilated environment. When potting certain ornamental plants (such as those with aerial roots), the potting mix immediately after watering creates a near-sealed environment around the roots, leading to excessive humidity and poor aeration, which can easily cause root rot. Even after the surface of the potting mix dries, the mix in the center may still be damp, resulting in one part of the root system being dehydrated while the other is overly wet and poorly aerated.

[0003] Therefore, plants that grow using aerial roots are often mimicked by using a board planting method, which involves planting the plants on tree trunks, hanging bark pieces, or other similar carriers. However, this method of board planting has the following problems:

[0004] Commercially grown plants are typically potted. If bare-root plants are transplanted onto a board, their roots will experience stress due to the sudden change in environment, resulting in a low survival rate. If the plant is transplanted onto a board along with its potting mix, physical methods (such as cotton thread or fishing line) are needed to assist in planting before the plant's roots can attach to the board and fix themselves and the mix, which is very unsightly.

[0005] Because water evaporates quickly from planting boards, drip irrigation is much more frequent than that for potted plants (several times a day). Without automatic drip irrigation, plants are prone to water shortage.

[0006] Chinese patent CN205266535U discloses an automatic drip irrigation planting pot, which combines an inner pot and an outer pot to create a gap between them to achieve automatic drip irrigation. However, the survival rate is still low during the plate planting process.

[0007] Chinese patent CN118923388A discloses a composite planting box and an invisible composite planting device. The composite planting box includes a frame, a cover plate, and a planting board. The frame has drip irrigation holes and ventilation holes evenly distributed around its perimeter. The cover plate is detachably connected to the frame and has ventilation holes evenly distributed throughout it. The planting board has a through hole and is detachably connected to the frame. A placement space communicating with the through hole is formed between the planting board, the cover plate, and the frame, and this space is used to place the planting material. Compared to traditional potted plants and planting boards, this method offers more root space within the same size, combining the superior breathability of planting boards with the water and fertilizer retention advantages of potted plants while avoiding their disadvantages. Because the planting board blocks the planting material, the potted plant becomes invisible. However, the structure of this composite planting box is too complex, resulting in high manufacturing costs and requiring a high level of DIY skill from the user. Utility Model Content

[0055] Implementing the composite planting device and flexible drip irrigation system provided in this embodiment will have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0056] The composite planting device provided by this utility model is used for planting ornamental plants. When the ornamental plants with aerial roots are transplanted from large-scale artificially planted flower pots to the composite planting device, the roots of the plants are first passed through the through holes on the planting board and evenly distributed in the first planting material receiving space enclosed by the planting board fixing frame and the back of the planting board. After filling the first planting material receiving space with planting material, the cover plate is covered. The drip irrigation rope can directly drip water into the first planting material receiving space. Another part of the plant's roots are directly tied to the front of the planting board with silk thread through the binding holes. The drip irrigation rope can directly drip water onto the front and back of the planting board. As the plant adapts to its new environment over time, newly grown roots radiate outwards from the stem, following its growth direction. Roots growing on the portion of the stem that hasn't penetrated the perforation will directly creep onto the front surface of the planting board, while roots growing on the portion that has penetrated the perforation will creep onto the back surface. These roots absorb water and nutrients delivered to the board via drip irrigation lines. These newly grown roots quickly attach to both sides of the planting board, thus achieving board planting. Because the plant's old roots are planted in the substrate during transplanting, the stress response and low survival rate associated with bare-root board planting are avoided, allowing the plant to adapt to its new environment more quickly.

[0057] Compared to traditional potted plants and board planting, the composite planting device provided by this utility model offers a larger root space within the same size, thus providing a more comfortable environment for plants. Part of the plant's roots grow in the planting medium within the first planting medium compartment on the back of the board, while another part of the roots grows directly on the front of the board. Because the first planting medium compartment is flat and has numerous ventilation holes on five of its six sides, it possesses the water and fertilizer retention characteristics of traditional potted plants, while offering better air permeability and a faster wet-dry cycle, preventing root suffocation and drying. The other part of the plant's roots climbs and grows on the surface of the board, completely mimicking the plant's natural environment with its superior air permeability and rapid wet-dry cycle. Water and nutrients are also delivered regularly and promptly via drip irrigation ropes.

[0058] The composite planting device provided by this utility model, because the planting board blocks the planting material filled in the placement space behind the planting board, only the plant can be seen from the front in a simulated original board planting state. That is to say, only the stems and leaves outside the through holes, as well as the new root system that has re-attached to the surface of the planting board after emerging from the placement space, the new stems and roots that have grown from the main stem, the stem system that continues to grow along the main stem, and the flowers that have bloomed can be seen. Thus, invisible potted plants are achieved, which are beautiful and elegant. Moreover, the front shape of the planting board can be customized according to the user's own preferences, and the shape of the planting board can be flexibly adjusted according to the user's actual planting environment to achieve better ornamental value.

[0059] This utility model provides users with an integrated, customizable, and aesthetically pleasing home environment for cultivating ornamental plants. The composite planting device, consisting of a planting board, drip irrigation box, water collection base, upward and downward water pipes, multiple regulating water pipes, front drip irrigation rope, and rear drip irrigation rope, forms a complete and flexible drip irrigation system for real-time drip irrigation of ornamental plants. Excess water is collected by the water collection base. Compared to traditional sprinkler irrigation, users do not need to worry about excessively wet floors due to drip irrigation of ornamental plants, nor do they need to waterproof the interior like with sprinkler irrigation. They also do not need to worry about nutrients leaking onto the ground and affecting the home environment when applying nutrients to aerial root plants. Furthermore, the customized planting board design provides users with an unprecedented experience of cultivating ornamental plants in a suitable environment. It reduces the difficulty of cultivating tropical ornamental plants by simplifying drip irrigation, fertilization, and maintaining a humid growing environment, greatly inspiring more users to enjoy creating their own green plant growing environment.

[0060] The flexible combined drip irrigation system provided by this utility model fully utilizes gravity in the process of supplying water to a lower drip irrigation box via a drip irrigation box. This reduces both the noise from the pumping device and the energy consumption of the entire system. The sound of flowing water creates a natural "flowing stream" effect, making the irrigation of epiphytic plants feel subtle and gentle, enhancing the user's enjoyment of planting and cultivating these plants. When a user needs to replace a specific composite planting device, they simply remove the corresponding device from the system, making it easy and convenient to adjust the transplanting of epiphytic plants according to their preferences. The planting plate of the composite planting device can also conceal the drip irrigation box, making the entire flexible combined drip irrigation system look more aesthetically pleasing and harmonious.

[0061] The composite planting device and flexible combination drip irrigation system provided by this utility model are applicable to the planting of almost all terrestrial plants, and are not limited to aerial root plants. Therefore, they support an unlimited number of planting methods. That is, regardless of the type of planting device (board planting, flower pot planting, or other DIY planting devices), the flexible combination drip irrigation system can use multiple interfaces for board planting, flower pot planting, or other DIY planting methods to fix it to the drip irrigation box or back plate, and provide automatic watering through the drip irrigation box and drip irrigation rope. The multiple interfaces specifically include: drip irrigation box hooks and drip irrigation box connectors, drip irrigation box snap-fit ​​devices, flower pot snap-fit ​​devices, and hanging holes with hooks or hanging ropes, etc.

[0062] The composite planting device and flexible drip irrigation system provided by this utility model can be a prefabricated "perforated board" that is easy for users to customize. The composite planting device can be placed in any position. The drip irrigation box can be fixed to the back plate through screw holes. The rotatable adapter elbow passes through the hole on the back plate and connects to the drip irrigation box. In this way, no matter where the drip irrigation box is placed, the connector can be quickly disassembled and rotated to a suitable angle to connect the water pipe components, and the automatic watering system can be adjusted arbitrarily.

[0063] The composite planting device and flexible drip irrigation system provided by this utility model completely cover the drip irrigation box, the planting frame / planting material container snap-fit ​​device, and the water-absorbing rope in the same vertical projection plane along the direction perpendicular to the mounting surface of the back panel. The back panel blocks the pipeline connecting the drip irrigation box, so that the front of the planted ornamental plants is presented in front of the back panel, while other pipelines that affect the aesthetics can be arranged behind the back panel.

[0064] This utility model provides a composite planting device and a flexible drip irrigation system. The planting board can be fitted with multiple drip irrigation box attachments on a very large back panel, allowing multiple plants to be planted in different areas and watered by multiple drip irrigation boxes. This requires multiple irrigation holes, multiple sets of through holes, and planting material fixing holes. The through holes allow ornamental plants to climb onto the back of the planting board, and the planting material and plants are secured by wrapping ropes between the planting material fixing holes, forming multiple planting patterns. This makes it particularly convenient for users to DIY their favorite ornamental plant planting environment.

[0065] The composite planting device and flexible drip irrigation system provided by this utility model allow for highly flexible installation of the drip irrigation boxes, which can be placed in any location. Multiple drip irrigation boxes can be at the same vertical height or have a height difference. In the case of a height difference, the inlet is connected to a connector on the uppermost drip irrigation box, and the outlet is connected to a connector on the lowermost drip irrigation box, all connected by a water pipe. The water flow in the drip irrigation box system is an overflow flow, and the drip irrigation box downstream along the water flow direction only needs to be at a vertical height equal to or less than that of the drip irrigation box upstream.

[0066] In summary, the composite planting device and flexible drip irrigation system provided by this utility model are easy to operate, greatly reducing the difficulty of planting ornamental plants, especially aerial root climbing plants, allowing plants to grow in an excellent state after settling in. The flexible drip irrigation system reduces many limitations for users in drip irrigation, fertilization, and maintaining a humid growing environment, making it easier for users to grow tropical aerial root plants and greatly inspiring more users to enjoy creating their own green plant walls. The flexible drip irrigation system eliminates concerns about indoor water accumulation like with drip irrigation systems, and can be placed at home without causing excessive dampness. The flexible drip irrigation system has extremely low operating noise and energy consumption, while creating a gentle, flowing, and subtle effect. Attached Figure Description

[0097] The following detailed description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0098] Firstly, such as Figures 1 to 10 , Figure 18 As shown, this utility model provides a composite planting device for planting ornamental plants. The composite planting device includes at least one of three types: a board planting assembly, a hanging planting pot, or a DIY planting basket.

[0099] The composite planting device provided by this utility model offers users an integrated, customizable, and aesthetically pleasing planting platform for ornamental plants in their personal home environment.

[0100] Example of a composite planting device

[0101] Example 1

[0102] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the composite planting device includes a board planting assembly for planting ornamental plants 150, which is especially suitable for aerial root plants. The board planting assembly includes a first board planting board 100A and a second board planting board 100B. The planting board has through holes (100A1, 100B1) and drip irrigation holes (100A2, 100B2) around the through holes. Binding holes (not shown in the attached diagram) are located near the outer edge of the planting board. Plants and planting materials can be bound to the front surface of the board using thread (not shown in the attached diagram). Planting materials can also be bound to the back surface of the board using thread through the binding holes, creating a planting space on both the front and back of the board (not shown in the attached diagram). A hanging structure can be installed on the back of the planting board, allowing it to be hung in any suitable location for ornamental plants. Drip irrigation ropes (201, 202, 203) can directly drip water onto the front and back of the planting board.

[0103] Specifically, the through holes include a first plate implantation hole 100A1 and a second plate implantation hole 100B1, and the drip irrigation holes include a first concealed pre-drip tube exit hole 100A2 and a second concealed pre-drip tube exit hole 100B2. The first plate implantation hole 100A1 is located in the central area of ​​the front surface of the first plate implantation plate 100A, and the first concealed pre-drip tube exit hole 100A2 is located around the first plate implantation hole 100A1. The second plate implantation plate 100B has a second plate implantation hole 100B1 located in the central area of ​​the front surface of the second plate implantation plate 100B. A second concealed drip irrigation outlet hole 100B2 is provided around B1; the ornamental plant 150 can be accessed from the front of the first planting plate 100A and / or the second planting plate 100B through the first planting hole 100A1 and / or the second planting hole 100B1 to the back of the first planting plate 100A and / or the second planting plate 100B. The drip irrigation rope can pass through / out through the first concealed drip irrigation outlet hole 100A2 and / or the second concealed drip irrigation outlet hole 100B2 to drip irrigate the ornamental plant 150. The planting plate can be provided with multiple through holes and drip irrigation holes, which can be set at any position on the front / back of the planting plate.

[0104] like Figure 5 As shown, during planting, the roots 153 of the ornamental plant 150 extend through the through hole P of the planting board assembly into the planting material in the planting material placement space, and absorb water and nutrients from the planting material in the planting material placement space to grow. Over time, new roots growing from the stems 152 of the ornamental plant 150 that have not passed through the through hole attach to the surface of the planting board (100A, 100B) and absorb water and nutrients from the surface of the planting board to grow.

[0105] Specifically, the first planting plate 100A and the second planting plate 100B can be customized into various shapes. The first hidden front drip tube outlet hole 100A2 and the second hidden front drip tube outlet hole 100B2 can be set to surround the first planting hole 100A1 and the second planting hole 100B1 according to the shape of the first planting plate 100A and the second planting plate 100B1. This allows the drip irrigation rope to drip water onto the ornamental plants 150 from various possible angles, while also allowing the first planting plate 100A, the second planting plate 100B, the first hidden front drip tube outlet hole 100A2, and the second hidden front drip tube outlet hole 100B2 to present various shapes that meet the user's preferences, enhancing the user's enjoyment and aesthetics in planting ornamental plants.

[0106] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, multiple composite planting devices are arranged in a certain way and installed on a back plate 500, and equipped with a water distribution system to connect each composite planting device. A water collection base 300 is installed at the bottom of the back plate 500, thus constructing a complete and flexible combined drip irrigation system. Each composite planting device is the smallest unit on which one or more aerial root plants 150 depend for survival and cultivation.

[0107] In this embodiment, when the ornamental plant 150 is transplanted from a large-scale artificially planted flowerpot to the composite planting device, the plant's roots 153 are first passed through the through holes P on the planting plates (100A, 100B), and then the roots are planted in the planting material in the planting space. The roots of the ornamental plant are in a semi-enclosed, breathable, and moisture-retaining planting environment. As the ornamental plant 150 grows in its pot, the newly formed roots grow along the growth direction of the plant stem and radiate outwards to attach to the surface of the planting plates (100A, 100B), thereby achieving plate planting.

[0108] First, the composite planting device allows the roots of ornamental plants 150 to better grow by clinging to the surface of the planting boards (100A, 100B), thus improving the survival rate of ornamental plants 150. Especially when ornamental plants 150 are aerial-rooted plants, during transplanting, the roots of aerial-rooted plants are directly planted in the planting medium, eliminating the need for bare-root treatment, reducing plant stress, and increasing survival rate. Using the composite planting device for aerial-rooted plants avoids the problems of slow repotting and low survival rates associated with bare-root board planting. Second, the planting medium space provides excellent air and water absorption and exchange conditions, allowing good air circulation to the roots of aerial-rooted plants, avoiding the poor ventilation problems of traditional sealed planting pots, and promoting healthy plant growth. It should be noted that, as shown in the attached... Figure 1-7As shown, the first planting plate 100A is elliptical, and the second planting plate 100B is rectangular. In other embodiments, the first planting plate 100A and / or the second planting plate 100B can be triangular, C-shaped, or polygonal (e.g., hexagonal, pentagonal), etc. The plate shape includes, but is not limited to, the structural types listed above. (See attached image) Figure 1-7 The through holes (100A1, 100B1, P) shown are circular through holes. In other embodiments, they can be other shapes, such as rectangular holes, elliptical holes, etc. The shape of the through holes includes, but is not limited to, the above-mentioned structural types. It should also be noted that there can be more than one through hole on the planting board. Users can choose different sizes of planting boards according to their preferences. Multiple through holes can be set on the planting board. Users can insert the old roots of each aerial plant into the planting material placement space through each through hole, allowing each aerial plant to fully adapt and grow in the new environment after being transplanted to the composite planting device. A hanging structure can be installed on the back of the planting board, allowing the planting board to be hung in any suitable place for the growth of ornamental plants.

[0109] This utility model's composite planting device can be quickly assembled using a planting board, hanging structure, thread, and drip irrigation rope. Multiple composite planting devices can be hung on a single mounting backplate. Compared to existing technologies that rely on "potting" for aerial root plant transplanting, this utility model's composite planting device offers convenient assembly and requires minimal space for growing aerial root plants in a home environment. After successful transplanting, multiple surviving aerial root plants can be assembled into an "aerial root plant wall" according to personal preference. The back of the planting board can be fitted with a hanging structure, allowing the planting board to be hung in any suitable location for ornamental plants. Adding nutrients and water to the planting medium inside the composite planting box is also very convenient, as is replacing the internal planting medium.

[0110] Furthermore, in one or more alternative embodiments, the roots 153 of the ornamental plant 150 can climb on the front surface of the planting board and extend through the through holes to the back surface of the planting board, absorbing water and nutrients from the air around both sides of the planting board to grow; the hanging structure is a drip irrigation box connector (not shown in the figure), which is detachably connected to the planting board; the planting board assembly can be hung on the hooks of the drip irrigation boxes (200, 200A, 200B) through the drip irrigation box connector; the planting board and the wires on the binding holes together enclose an open first planting material receiving space (not shown in the figure), in which the planting material can be placed.

[0111] The first substrate compartment allows the roots 153 of the ornamental plants 150 to absorb moisture from the air and nutrients from the substrate more freely. The drip irrigation box connector allows the composite planting device to be mounted in any suitable location for the growth of ornamental plants.

[0112] Furthermore, in one or more alternative embodiments, the board planting assembly further includes a board planting frame (not shown in the figures), the board planting frame is detachably connected to the board planting board, and the board planting frame, together with the board planting board, encloses an open second planting material receiving space (not shown in the figures), the planting material can also be placed in the second planting material receiving space, and the drip irrigation box can be installed in any place suitable for the growth of ornamental plants.

[0113] The detachable frame of the planting board can be connected to the planting board to further improve the rigidity of the planting board assembly and increase the second planting material holding space. At least the back of the planting board can hold more planting material, which can provide more nutrients for ornamental plants. The drip irrigation box can replenish the water needed for the growth of ornamental plants at any time.

[0114] Furthermore, in order to allow the roots 153 of the ornamental plants 150 in the second planting space to absorb moisture from the air more freely, ventilation holes are evenly distributed on the perimeter of the board planting fixing frame.

[0115] Furthermore, to make it easier to hang the board planting assembly on the drip irrigation box, at least one drip irrigation box connector can be connected to a single board planting assembly, and the drip irrigation rope can directly drip water into the first planting material receiving space and / or the second planting material receiving space.

[0116] Furthermore, in one or more alternative embodiments, to facilitate the placement of the drip irrigation cord between the drip irrigation box and the board-mounted assembly, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the normal direction perpendicular to the exposed surface of the board is the first direction. The through holes and drip irrigation holes are opened in the first direction, and the drip irrigation rope drips water onto the front and back of the board in a direction perpendicular to the first direction.

[0117] Furthermore, the drip irrigation end of the drip irrigation rope rests directly on the front and / or back of the planting board; or, the drip irrigation end of the drip irrigation rope passes through the drip irrigation hole and rests on the front and / or back of the planting board.

[0118] Furthermore, the planting board is also equipped with at least one drip irrigation rope fixing component (not shown in the attached figure) to fix one end of the drip irrigation rope to the planting board for drip irrigation.

[0119] This setup fully utilizes the capillary water absorption function of the drip irrigation rope, delivering water appropriately to the front and / or back of the planting board in a way that keeps it moist without overflowing or excessively soaking. This allows the planting material in the first and / or second planting material holding spaces to fully absorb water, while simultaneously allowing the planting material to replenish nutrients to the roots 153 of the ornamental plant 150. Of course, the roots 153 of the ornamental plant 150 can also directly absorb the water dripped onto the front and / or back of the planting board.

[0120] Specifically, such as Figure 5-7 As shown, it should be noted that the drip irrigation rope includes a front seepage rope 201, a rear seepage rope 202, and a concealed seepage rope 203. The front seepage rope 201 can pass through the drip irrigation hole from the back of the planting board to the front of the planting board. Alternatively, the front seepage rope 201 can also pass through the drip irrigation hole from the front of the planting board to the back of the planting board, for drip irrigation of the first and / or second planting material receiving spaces. Of course, the front seepage rope 201 can also directly drip irrigate the first planting material receiving space from the front of the planting board without passing through the drip irrigation hole. The rear seepage rope 202 can pass through the drip irrigation hole from the back of the planting board to the front of the planting board, for subsequent seepage. Rope 202 can also be directly attached to the back of the planting board without passing through the drip irrigation holes, providing drip irrigation to the first and / or second planting material receiving spaces. Concealed seepage rope 203 can also be directly attached to the back of the planting board without passing through the drip irrigation holes, providing drip irrigation to the second planting material receiving space. Users can flexibly configure the specific quantity and placement of the front seepage rope 201, rear seepage rope 202, and concealed seepage rope 203 according to their preferences and the growth habits of the ornamental plants, thereby meeting the drip irrigation requirements of each part of the composite planting device and further promoting the growth of the ornamental plants 150 within the composite planting device. The composite planting device can also be additionally equipped with a drip irrigation rope fixing device to manage and fix each drip irrigation rope, allowing users to accurately determine whether the drip irrigation volume applied by each drip irrigation rope using capillary suction meets their expectations. For areas where the expected drip irrigation volume is not met, users can increase the drip irrigation volume by adding more drip irrigation ropes.

[0121] Furthermore, in one or more alternative embodiments, the mounting structure is detachably connected to the back of the planter board. The mounting structure is a snap-fit ​​piece and / or a detachable hook and / or a hanging rope. The mounting structure can detachably fix the planter board assembly to any suitable place for the growth of ornamental plants.

[0122] The hanging structure adds convenience by allowing the board planting board components to be hung in drip irrigation boxes or any suitable place for the growth of ornamental plants. It can reduce the complexity of the board planting board and make the board planting board components hung more stably.

[0123] Furthermore, in one or more alternative embodiments, such as Figure 1-7As shown, the composite planting device and the drip irrigation box are hung correspondingly. The drip irrigation box provides drip irrigation water to the composite planting device, and the drip irrigation rope drips water from the drip irrigation box onto the composite planting device. The composite planting device is hung on the hook 200c on the front wall of the drip irrigation box, and the drip irrigation box is hung on the back plate 500; or, the composite planting device is hung on the front of the back plate 500, and the drip irrigation box is hung on the back of the back plate 500; or, the drip irrigation box is hung on the back of the back plate 500, the hook 200c on the front wall of the drip irrigation box passes through the back plate to the front of the back plate, and the composite planting device is hung on the hook on the front wall of the drip irrigation box.

[0124] This setup improves the ease of mounting drip irrigation boxes and board-mounted components onto the back panel, allowing users to adjust the mounting positions of the drip irrigation boxes and board-mounted components as needed.

[0125] Furthermore, in one or more alternative embodiments, such as Figure 17 As shown, the drip irrigation box connector 240 allows the composite planting device to be mounted in any suitable location for ornamental plant growth. The drip irrigation box connector 240 is elongated, and its vertical surface where it mates with the composite planting device has multiple fixing holes (not shown in the attached diagram). These holes allow for a detachable connection between the drip irrigation box connector 240 and the composite planting device. The vertical surface of the drip irrigation box connector 240 where it mates with the composite planting device also has multiple perforated holes. Hooks 200c on the front wall of the drip irrigation boxes (200, 200A) can pass through these perforated holes and securely hold them in place, thus enabling the composite planting device to be mounted on the front wall of the drip irrigation box.

[0126] Furthermore, in one or more alternative embodiments, such as Figure 16 As shown, hooks 200c are not required on the front wall of the drip irrigation boxes (200, 200A) to further reduce the processing difficulty. Instead, there is a mounting hole 2007 in the middle area of ​​each of the two hollowed-out slots Q. Users can use tools to pass bolts through the mounting holes 2007 to fix the drip irrigation boxes (200, 200A) to the back plate 500, and then use the hooks 200c after passing through the back plate to hang the composite planting device. Alternatively, users can use a hook or hanging line to attach a board planting assembly, hanging pot, or DIY planting basket to the drip irrigation box, thus replacing hooks or clips to fix the board planting assembly.

[0127] Example 2

[0128] like Figures 8 to 11 , Figure 18As shown, the composite planting device includes a hanging pot 100C for planting ornamental plants 150, especially suitable for aerial root plants. The top of the hanging pot 100C is open, and its bottom and side walls surround a second planting medium receiving space (not shown in the attached diagram). The bottom wall has drainage and ventilation holes (not shown in the attached diagram), and the side walls have drip irrigation holes (not shown in the attached diagram). The hanging pot can be hung in any suitable place for the growth of ornamental plants through the hanging structure; the drip irrigation rope (not shown in the attached diagram) drips water into the second planting medium receiving space. The roots of the ornamental plants can climb on the second planting medium receiving space of the hanging pot 100C and absorb water and nutrients from the air around the second planting medium receiving space for growth.

[0129] It should be noted that the difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 lies only in the specific form of the carrier for the ornamental plants in the composite planting device. In Embodiment 1, the carrier for the ornamental plants is a board planting assembly, while in Embodiment 2, the carrier is a hanging pot 100C. The hanging structure in the composite planting device can still be a drip irrigation box connector, which is detachably connected to the periphery of the hanging pot 100C. The hanging pot 100C can be hung on the hook of the drip irrigation box through the drip irrigation box connector. At least one drip irrigation box connector can be connected to a single hanging pot 100C, and the drip irrigation rope can directly drip water into the second planting material receiving space. The hanging structure is a snap-fit ​​piece and / or a detachable hook and / or a hanging rope. The periphery of the hanging pot 100C is detachably connected to the snap-fit ​​piece, which can detachably fix the hanging pot 100C to any suitable place for the growth of ornamental plants.

[0130] It should also be noted that, such as Figures 14 to 17 As shown, when the mounting structure is a snap-fit, the lower part of the front wall of the drip irrigation box 200A corresponding to the hanging pot 100C is also provided with a hanging pot abutment arc surface S. A "T"-shaped hanging pot snap-fit ​​groove T extends downwards from the top of the front wall of the drip irrigation box 200A along the hanging pot abutment arc surface S. One end of the snap-fit ​​is detachably fixed to the hanging pot 100C, and the other end of the snap-fit ​​can be snapped into the "T"-shaped hanging pot snap-fit ​​groove T. Simultaneously, the lower middle arc-shaped outer wall of the hanging pot 100C abuts against the hanging pot abutment arc surface S. This design further increases the stability of the hanging pot 100C when it is attached to the drip irrigation box 200A via the snap-fit. The hanging pot 100C can also be detachably connected to the drip irrigation box mounting bracket 240, allowing the hanging pot 100C to be hung in any suitable location for ornamental plant growth.

[0131] Example 3

[0132] The composite planting device includes a DIY planting basket for planting 150 ornamental plants, especially suitable for aerial root plants. The DIY planting basket has an open top and can be shaped according to the user's preference. Its bottom and side walls enclose a third planting medium holding space (not shown in the attached diagram). The bottom wall has drainage and ventilation holes (not shown in the attached diagram), and the side walls have drip irrigation holes (not shown in the attached diagram). Hanging pots can be hung in any suitable location for ornamental plant growth via a hanging structure. A drip irrigation rope (not shown in the attached diagram) drips water into the third planting medium holding space. The roots of the ornamental plants can climb on the third planting medium holding space of the DIY planting basket and absorb water and nutrients from the surrounding air to grow.

[0133] It should be noted that the difference between Embodiment 3 and Embodiments 1 and 2 lies only in the specific form of the carrier for the ornamental plants in the composite planting device. The hanging structure in the composite planting device can still be a drip irrigation box connector, which is detachably connected to the perimeter of the DIY planting basket. The DIY planting basket can be hung on the hook of the drip irrigation box via the connector. At least one drip irrigation box connector can be connected to a single DIY planting basket, and the drip irrigation rope can directly drip water into the third planting material receiving space. The hanging structure consists of snap-fit ​​pieces and / or detachable hooks and / or hanging ropes. The perimeter of the DIY planting basket is detachably connected to snap-fit ​​pieces, which can detachably fix the DIY planting basket to any suitable location for the growth of ornamental plants. The DIY planting basket can also be detachably connected to the drip irrigation box connector 240, which allows the DIY planting basket to be hung in any suitable location for the growth of ornamental plants.

[0134] Secondly, such as Figures 1 to 11 , Figure 18As shown, this utility model provides a flexible combination drip irrigation system for planting ornamental plants 150. The flexible combination drip irrigation system includes a water collection base 300, a back plate 500, drip irrigation boxes (200, 200A, 200B), water distribution pipes (210, 220, 230a, 230b), drip irrigation ropes (201, 202, 203), and a composite planting device as described in the first aspect. The water collection base 300 provides a water source and collects residual water after drip irrigation. The water collection base can prevent drip irrigation water from splashing onto the ground. The back plate 500 is fixed upright inside the water collection base 300. At least two drip irrigation boxes can be installed at any position on the back of the back plate 500 to drip irrigate the ornamental plants 150. The drip irrigation boxes have a water-holding space (not shown in the attached figure), the top surface of the drip irrigation box is open, and the bottom and peripheral walls of the drip irrigation box are closed. Water pipes connect the drip irrigation boxes and the water collection base 300 to at least one of the drip irrigation boxes. The water flows in an overflow manner inside the drip irrigation box and between two adjacent drip irrigation boxes. Starting from the drip irrigation box installed at the highest position on the back plate 500, the drip irrigation water flows along the water distribution pipe along the drip irrigation box and back to the water collection base 300 under the action of gravity. The composite planting device as described in the first aspect can be hung at any position on the mounting back plate 500. The entire flexible combination drip irrigation system includes at least one composite planting device, and one composite planting device corresponds to at least one drip irrigation box. The drip irrigation box can be hung on the front or back of the back plate 500. Water distribution pipes are connected between the drip irrigation boxes. The composite planting device can be hung at any position on the front of the mounting back plate 500 or on the front wall of the drip irrigation box. Each set of drip irrigation ropes drips water onto each composite planting device.

[0135] This utility model provides a flexible, modular drip irrigation system that offers users an integrated, customizable, and aesthetically pleasing platform for cultivating ornamental plants in their personal home environment. The system comprises a composite planting device, drip irrigation box, water collection base, upstream water pipe, downstream water pipe, multiple control pipes, front drip irrigation rope, and rear drip irrigation rope, forming a complete, flexible, and modular drip irrigation system for real-time drip irrigation of ornamental plants. Excess water is collected by the water collection base. Compared to traditional sprinkler irrigation, users do not need to worry about excessive moisture on the floor, the need for indoor waterproofing (as with sprinkler irrigation), or nutrient loss from aerial root plants. Furthermore, the customized planting board design provides users with an unprecedented experience of cultivating ornamental plants in specific environments. It reduces the limitations of drip irrigation, fertilization, and maintaining a humid growing environment, making it easier for users to cultivate tropical ornamental plants and greatly encouraging more people to create their own green plant growing environments.

[0136] The flexible combined drip irrigation system provided by this utility model fully utilizes gravity in the process of supplying water to a lower drip irrigation box via a drip irrigation box. This reduces both the noise from the pumping device and the energy consumption of the entire system. The sound of flowing water creates a natural "flowing stream" effect, making the irrigation of epiphytic plants feel subtle and gentle, enhancing the user's enjoyment of planting and cultivating these plants. When a user needs to replace a specific composite planting device, they simply remove the corresponding device from the system, making it easy and convenient to adjust the transplanting of epiphytic plants according to their preferences. The planting plate of the composite planting device can also conceal the drip irrigation box, making the entire flexible combined drip irrigation system look more aesthetically pleasing and harmonious.

[0137] Flexible Combination Drip Irrigation System Examples

[0138] Example 4

[0139] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the flexible combination drip irrigation system includes a water collection base 300, a back plate 500, drip irrigation boxes (200, 200A, 200B), water distribution pipes, drip irrigation ropes, and a composite planting device as described in the first aspect. The water collection base 300 provides a water source and collects excess water after drip irrigation, preventing water from splashing onto the ground. The back plate 500 is fixed upright inside the water collection base 300. At least two drip irrigation boxes can be installed at any position on the back of the back plate 500 for drip irrigation of ornamental plants 150. Each drip irrigation box has a water-holding space (not shown in the attached diagram), and the top of the drip irrigation box is open, allowing dripping water to pass through. The bottom and perimeter walls of the drip irrigation box are sealed; the water distribution pipes are connected between each drip irrigation box and between the water collection base 300 and at least one of the drip irrigation boxes; the water inside the drip irrigation box and between two adjacent drip irrigation boxes flows in an overflow manner, starting from the drip irrigation box installed at the highest position of the back plate 500, the drip irrigation water flows along the drip irrigation box and the water distribution pipes and flows back to the water collection base 300 under the action of gravity; the composite planting device as described in the first aspect can be hung at any position on the mounting back plate 500; the entire flexible combination drip irrigation system includes at least one composite planting device; each set of drip irrigation ropes drips water onto each composite planting device.

[0140] Furthermore, in one or more alternative embodiments, such as Figure 1-5As shown, the vertical projections of the back panel, drip irrigation boxes, composite planting device, water distribution pipes, and drip irrigation ropes all fall within the projection of the water collection base 300. The water distribution pipes (230a, 230b) between two adjacent drip irrigation boxes do not require a pump to drive the water flow; instead, the drip irrigation water flows from higher to lower levels entirely by overflow driven by the pipes. This configuration allows for efficient use of gravity in the drip irrigation process, supplying water to drip irrigation boxes of the same height or even lower, preventing water from splashing outside the water collection base during drip irrigation and reducing the overall energy consumption of the flexible combined drip irrigation system.

[0141] Furthermore, in one or more alternative embodiments, such as Figure 6-17 As shown, the drip irrigation box has at least two hooks 200c on its front wall (not shown in the attached diagram) facing outwards from the back panel 500. The hooks 200c protrude from the front of the back panel 500, allowing the composite planting device to be hung from the front of the back panel 500 onto the hooks 200c. This design allows for convenient mounting onto the drip irrigation box via the hanging structure, which further enhances the ease of mounting and the structural strength of the mounting components. Even if damage occurs due to external forces, the damaged hanging structure can be directly removed, preventing damage to the composite planting device and improving maintenance convenience.

[0142] Furthermore, in one or more alternative embodiments, such as Figure 6-17 As shown, the bottom wall of the drip irrigation box has a perforated groove Q. The perforated groove Q extends upwards towards the open end (not shown in the attached diagram) and is surrounded by a wall (not shown in the attached diagram). The wall, the surrounding wall, and the bottom wall (not shown in the attached diagram) enclose a water-containing space (not shown in the attached diagram). Figure 7 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 As shown, a limiting groove q2 is provided on one side wall of the enclosure to limit the swaying of the drip irrigation rope, and a drip irrigation rope clamping structure 2006 is provided on the bottom wall of the water-containing space to clamp the drip irrigation rope connector 2006A. One end of the drip irrigation rope (201, 202, 203) is clamped to the drip irrigation rope clamping structure 2006 through the drip irrigation rope connector 2006A, and the other end of the drip irrigation rope passes through the limiting groove q2 to drip irrigate the composite planting device.

[0143] Specifically, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, when the composite planting device is a plate-planting assembly, the other end of the drip irrigation rope (201, 202, 203) passes through the limiting groove q2 and the hollow groove Q in sequence, exits from the bottom of the drip irrigation box 200, and then passes through the drip irrigation hole to directly drip irrigate the composite planting device; the rear wall of the drip irrigation box 200 is provided with a first inlet / outlet water transfer structure 2001 and a first inlet / outlet water transfer structure 2004 at both ends, and the inlet / outlet water transfer structures (2001, 2004) connect to the water-containing space; the rear wall of the drip irrigation box 200 is located at the first inlet / outlet water transfer structure 2001 and the first inlet / outlet water transfer structure 2004. The water outlet transition structure 2004 area is provided with two water inlet and outlet holes (not shown in the attached diagram), which are connected to the water storage space; the water distribution pipeline includes at least one first dispatch water pipe 230a and at least one second dispatch water pipe 230b. Both ends of the first dispatch water pipe 230a and the second dispatch water pipe 230b are provided with rotatable transition elbows M. The rotatable transition elbows M can rotate in the water inlet and outlet holes to arbitrarily adjust the direction of the first dispatch water pipe 230a and the second dispatch water pipe 230b, thereby adjusting the direction of the water distribution pipeline, while ensuring no water leakage.

[0144] It should be noted that the rear wall of the drip irrigation box has an inlet / outlet transition structure at each end along the horizontal direction. The size of the inlet / outlet transition structure in the height direction of the drip irrigation box is less than half the height of the entire drip irrigation box. The inlet / outlet transition structure connects to the water storage space. There are two inlet / outlet holes on the rear wall of the drip irrigation box, which also connect to the water storage space. Because the position of the rotatable transition elbow in the drip irrigation box is much lower than the top edge of the box, the size of the inlet / outlet transition structure in the height direction of the drip irrigation box is sufficient for multiple drip irrigation boxes of the same size to be connected together in series through the rotatable transition elbow, the first regulating water pipe and / or the second regulating water pipe, and for multiple drip irrigation boxes to be at the same height. Adjacent drip irrigation boxes can also supply water to each other by gravity through overflow.

[0145] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, the drip irrigation rope connector package 2006A includes a drip irrigation rope connector body. The drip irrigation rope connector body has a drip irrigation rope connecting baffle (not shown in the attached figure) that divides the drip irrigation rope connector body into two drip irrigation rope holes (not shown in the attached figure). The drip irrigation rope connector body also has one or more snap-fit ​​flaps (not shown in the attached figure). The drip irrigation rope can pass through the drip irrigation rope holes in sequence and go around the drip irrigation rope connecting baffle, forming a two-hole fold-back structure with the drip irrigation rope connector body. When the drip irrigation volume cannot meet the needs of the area when a single-strand drip irrigation rope is used, the drip irrigation rope can also be constructed into a double-strand drip irrigation rope by utilizing the two-hole fold-back structure of the drip irrigation rope connector body. The double-strand drip irrigation rope doubles the drip irrigation volume based on the single-strand form to deliver water. The snap-fit ​​flaps snap onto the other end of the two-hole fold-back structure. The drip irrigation box 200 has reinforcing ribs (not shown in the attached diagram) to increase structural strength. The drip irrigation box is completely symmetrical from left to right. The inlet and outlet holes of the drip irrigation box 200 are connected to the water distribution pipeline as needed. The flow direction of water in the drip irrigation box 200 is determined by the placement height of the drip irrigation box, the connection direction with adjacent drip irrigation boxes, and the pumping direction. The rotatable transition elbow M at the other end of the first dispatching water pipe 230a or the second dispatching water pipe 230b is rotatably connected to one of the two inlet and outlet holes on the rear wall of the drip irrigation box adjacent to this drip irrigation box. The rotatable adapter elbow M can rotate within the inlet and outlet holes to arbitrarily adjust the direction of the first dispatching water pipe 230a and the second dispatching water pipe 230b. Furthermore, the length of the first dispatching water pipe 230a and the second dispatching water pipe 230b can be flexibly adjusted. Thus, while adjusting the direction of the water distribution pipeline, the residual pressure of the end water distribution pipeline from one drip irrigation box to another via overflow can also be adjusted. Combined with the flexible arrangement of single-strand drip irrigation ropes and double-strand drip irrigation ropes, users can adjust the required drip irrigation volume for each area of ​​the entire flexible combination drip irrigation system in sequence.

[0146] Furthermore, in one or more alternative embodiments, such as Figure 1-4 , Figure 8-10 As shown, the water distribution pipeline also includes at least one upstream water pipe 220 and one downstream water pipe 210; at least one end of the upstream water pipe 220 and the downstream water pipe 210 is provided with a rotatable transition elbow M, the rotatable transition elbow of the upstream water pipe is connected to at least one drip irrigation box (200, 200A, 200B) installed at a higher position on the back plate, the rotatable transition elbow M of the downstream water pipe 210 is connected to at least one drip irrigation box installed at a lower position on the back plate, and the other end of the upstream water pipe 220 and the downstream water pipe 210 is connected to the water collection base 300.

[0147] Furthermore, the water distribution pipeline also includes at least one water pumping device (not shown in the attached figure). The water pumping device is installed in the water collection base or in the water distribution pipeline, driving water to circulate between the water distribution pipeline, each drip irrigation box and the water collection base. The flexible arrangement of the water distribution pipeline allows the composite planting device to flexibly select one or more drip irrigation boxes to supply water to the composite planting device.

[0148] By setting up an upward water pipe 220 and a downward water pipe 210, the water in the water collection base 300 can be driven by the water pump to propel the water of the entire flexible combination drip irrigation system through the water distribution pipeline. The water flows silently and without power by gravity through the overflow operation. The water collected in the water collection base 300 can be pumped back to the drip irrigation box set at the highest position, so that the water of the flexible combination drip irrigation system can be reused repeatedly, while also reducing the noise and energy consumption of the system during operation.

[0149] Furthermore, in one or more alternative embodiments, such as Figure 1-4 , Figure 8-10 As shown, each drip irrigation box corresponds to at least one composite planting device on the mounting back plate 500 or on the drip irrigation box, which can drip irrigate the ornamental plants 150. Each drip irrigation box can be installed in sequence at any position on the back plate 500. A water distribution pipe is connected between two adjacent drip irrigation boxes and between the lowest drip irrigation box and the water collection base. Each composite planting device can be arbitrarily hung on the hook of the drip irrigation box.

[0150] It should be noted that the specific structure of the drip irrigation box is not limited here. As long as the bottom wall of the drip irrigation box has a hollow groove Q, and the hollow groove Q extends upward toward the opening with a surrounding wall, the surrounding wall, the perimeter wall, and the bottom wall enclose a water-containing space; one side wall of the surrounding wall has a limiting groove q2 to restrict the movement of the drip irrigation rope; and the bottom wall of the water-containing space has a drip irrigation rope clamping structure 2006 for clamping the drip irrigation rope connector 2006A. One end of the drip irrigation rope is clamped onto the drip irrigation rope clamping structure 2006 through the drip irrigation rope connector 2006A, and the other end of the drip irrigation rope passes through the limiting groove q2 to drip irrigate the composite planting device, the drip irrigation box that can achieve the above functions and has the corresponding functional structure falls within the protection scope of this application. Of course, the hook 200c is not limited to being set on the front wall of the drip irrigation box. As long as the hook 200c is set on the drip irrigation box and can hang the drip irrigation box and / or the composite planting device, it falls within the protection scope of this application.

[0151] Example 5

[0152] Based on the aforementioned embodiment four, as Figures 8 to 11As shown, unlike Embodiment 4, in Embodiment 5 of the flexible combination drip irrigation system, the composite planting device can be a hanging pot 100C. The top of the hanging pot is open, and its bottom and peripheral walls surround a second planting material receiving space. The bottom wall is provided with drainage and ventilation holes, and the peripheral walls are provided with drip irrigation holes. The hanging pot can be hung in any place suitable for the growth of ornamental plants through the hanging structure. The drip irrigation rope drips water into the second planting material receiving space. Since there is a certain height difference between the hanging pot and the corresponding drip irrigation box, it is not possible to use the height of the hanging pot itself to block all the drip irrigation ropes leading down from the drip irrigation box. The drip irrigation rope is only the front drip irrigation rope 201 or the rear drip irrigation rope 202. The upward water pipe 210 can send water from the water collection base 300 to the drip irrigation box 200 set at the highest position; the downward water pipe 220 can collect and summarize the residual water after drip irrigation of each composite planting device from the drip irrigation box 200 set at the lowest position to the water collection bottom. The device is positioned 300. The front drip irrigation rope 201 introduces water from the drip irrigation box 200, which is higher than the corresponding composite planting device, to drip and wet the hanging pot 100C of the composite planting device mounted on the drip irrigation box 200 or its back plate. The rear drip irrigation rope 202 introduces water from the drip irrigation box 200 to drip and wet the hanging pot 100C of the composite planting device mounted on the drip irrigation box 200 or its back plate, so that the newly grown roots of the ornamental plants 150 attached to the hanging pot 100C can absorb water.

[0153] Example 6

[0154] Based on the aforementioned Embodiment 4, unlike Embodiment 4, in Embodiment 5 of the flexible combination drip irrigation system, the composite planting device can be a DIY planting basket, which can be any shape preferred by the user. The top of the DIY planting basket is open, and its bottom wall and peripheral walls surround a third planting material receiving space. The bottom wall is provided with drainage and ventilation holes, and the peripheral walls are provided with drip irrigation holes. The DIY planting basket can be hung in any place suitable for the growth of ornamental plants through a hanging structure; the drip irrigation rope drips water into the third planting material receiving space. Because there is a certain height difference between the DIY planting basket and the corresponding drip irrigation box, the height of the DIY planting basket itself cannot block all the drip irrigation ropes leading down from the drip irrigation box. The drip irrigation ropes are only the front drip irrigation rope 201 or the rear drip irrigation rope 202. The upward water pipe 210 can send water from the water collection base 300 to the drip irrigation box 200 set at the highest position. The downward water pipe 220 can collect and summarize the residual water after drip irrigation of each composite planting device from the drip irrigation box 200 set at the lowest position to the water collection base 300. The front drip irrigation rope 201 introduces water from the drip irrigation box 200, which is higher than the corresponding composite planting device, to drip irrigation and wet the DIY planting basket of the composite planting device hanging on the drip irrigation box 200 or the back plate. The rear drip irrigation rope 202 introduces water from the drip irrigation box 200 to drip irrigation and wet the DIY planting basket of the composite planting device hanging on the drip irrigation box 200 or the back plate, so that the newly grown roots of the ornamental plants 150 attached to the DIY planting basket can absorb water.

[0155] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make improvements without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, but these improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
