Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of flower pot technology, and in particular to a flower pot with an automatic water supply function. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of plant care, automatic watering flower pots can effectively reduce the frequency of manual watering and improve the convenience of maintenance, making them especially suitable for daily office, home, and short-term outings. Currently, most automatic watering flower pots on the market use adjustable throttle valves or rely on electronic sensors and control systems to achieve water supply, such as by setting a fixed flow rate or controlling the start and stop of the water pump or solenoid valve based on feedback from soil moisture sensors.

[0003] In terms of water supply control, existing technologies mostly rely on manually setting the opening of throttle valves to maintain a constant water supply. This cannot adaptively adjust the water supply according to changes in environmental humidity, temperature, and other weather conditions, which can easily lead to overly wet or dry soil, affecting plant growth. At the same time, adjusting the throttle valve itself is relatively cumbersome, making it difficult to find a suitable water supply balance point, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0004] Secondly, while some automated water supply systems use computers and sensors for control, achieving relatively precise water supply, these systems are complex in structure, costly, and require a high level of expertise in use and maintenance. Furthermore, the reliability and lifespan of electronic components limit the application of such products in ordinary consumer scenarios.

[0005] Furthermore, current flowerpot irrigation systems generally use top-down drip or seepage irrigation, resulting in a persistently high humidity level in the upper soil layer and a relatively dry lower layer. This humidity distribution not only affects soil aeration but can also lead to root hypoxia due to overwatering, potentially causing root rot. Simultaneously, the upper soil layer evaporates water quickly under high temperatures, resulting in low water supply efficiency and wasted water resources.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an automatic water supply flowerpot that does not require an external power source or complex control and can adaptively supply water according to the actual soil moisture. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a flowerpot with an automatic water supply function, which solves the technical problems of high cost of existing automatic water supply and top-down water intake method.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A flowerpot with an automatic water supply function includes a flowerpot body, a planting cavity formed within the flowerpot body, a water supply trough formed on one side of the flowerpot body, and a water passage formed between the water supply trough and the bottom of the planting cavity; a water supply bottle is installed on the water supply trough, and a water supply component is provided between the water supply bottle and the water supply trough, the water supply component being used to supply water to the flowerpot body; a positioning component is provided on the flowerpot body, the positioning component being used to position the water supply bottle.

[0009] Furthermore, the water supply assembly includes a bottle cap with a through hole. A water-proof cover is provided on the side of the bottle cap near the through hole, covering the through hole. A water-passing hole is provided on the water-proof cover, communicating with the through hole. A sealing plate is provided on the water-proof cover, and a support spring is provided between the sealing plate and the water-proof cover, with the support spring pressing against the water-proof cover and the sealing plate.

[0010] Furthermore, a support plate is provided on the side of the flowerpot body near the water supply trough, and a top rod is provided on the support plate. The top rod is installed on the support plate, and one end of the top rod passes through the through hole.

[0011] Furthermore, a soil-separating plate is provided on the side of the flowerpot body near the water passage, and the soil-separating plate is installed inside the water passage.

[0012] Furthermore, the positioning component includes a clamping block with a clamping groove formed therein. The clamping block is clamped to the flowerpot body through the clamping groove. A positioning ring is rotatably mounted on the clamping block, and the water supply bottle passes through the positioning ring.

[0013] Furthermore, a guide slope is formed on the side of the flowerpot body near the water supply trough, and the guide slope is inclined downwards towards the planting cavity.

[0014] Furthermore, a ventilation hole is provided on one side of the flowerpot body, and the ventilation hole is spaced apart on the flowerpot body.

[0015] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects of flower pots with automatic water supply function: When in use, install the water supply bottle on the water supply groove of the flower pot body, position the water supply bottle, and then the water supply component supplies water to the planting cavity of the flower pot body through the water passage. The soil is kept moderately moist by relying on the plant roots to absorb water. The water enters from the bottom of the flower pot, and the characteristics of the plant roots to grow towards gravity and water promote the plant roots to grow deeper into the soil. The installation of the support plate, top rod, sealing plate, and support spring improves the convenience of supplying water from the water supply bottle into the implantation cavity. By setting up support plates, top rods, guide ramps, and soil-separating walls, the ease of water flow into the planting cavity is improved while reducing the amount of soil from the planting cavity entering the water supply trough.

[0018] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0019] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0020] This application discloses a flowerpot with an automatic water supply function.

[0021] Reference Figures 1-2 A flowerpot with an automatic water supply function includes a flowerpot body 1, within which a planting cavity 11 is formed. A water supply trough 2 is formed on one side of the flowerpot body 1, and a water passage 21 is formed between the water supply trough 2 and the planting cavity 11, connecting the water supply trough 2 and the planting cavity 11. A water supply bottle 12 is installed on the water supply trough 2 of the flowerpot body 1, and a water supply component 3 is provided on one side of the water supply bottle 12 for supplying water to the planting cavity 11. A positioning component 4 is provided on the flowerpot body 1 for positioning the water supply bottle 12.

[0022] The water supply bottle 12 is inverted on the water supply trough 2. The water supply component 3 is used to direct water from the water supply bottle 12 into the water supply trough 2, and then through the water passage 21 into the bottom soil of the planting chamber 11. This bottom-up water supply method simulates the process of groundwater rising through capillary action, allowing the soil to automatically draw water from the bottom "as needed" according to its dryness. This helps maintain uniform soil moisture, reduces long-term over-wetting of the surface soil, and promotes root growth into deeper soil by utilizing the hydrotropism and gravitational attraction of plant roots.

[0023] Reference Figure 3 The water supply assembly 3 includes a bottle cap 31, which is threadedly connected to the water supply bottle 12. The bottle cap 31 has a through hole 311, and a water-proof cover 32 is installed inside the bottle cap 31, covering the through hole 311. Furthermore, the side wall of the water-proof cover 32 has several water passage holes spaced around the water-proof cover 32, and all of these water passage holes communicate with the through hole 311. During use, water in the water supply bottle 12 flows out through the water passage holes and the through hole 311.

[0024] A sealing plate 33 is provided on the inner side of the water-proof cover 32. A support spring 34 is provided between the water-proof cover 32 and the sealing plate 33. In its natural state, the support spring 34 presses the sealing plate 33 against the water-proof cover 32, thereby reducing the leakage of water from the water supply bottle 12 when it is inverted by closing the through hole 311. To improve the sealing effect of the sealing plate 33 on the through hole 311, a rubber gasket 35 is provided on the side of the sealing plate 33 near the through hole 311. The rubber gasket 35 presses against the sealing plate 33 and the bottle cap 31 to seal the gap between the sealing plate 33 and the through hole 311.

[0025] To activate the water supply, a support plate 36 is installed at the bottom of the water supply trough 2 of the flowerpot body 1. Four sets of support plates 36 are spaced apart within the water supply trough 2, and each set of support plates 36 has a vertically mounted push rod 361. When the water supply bottle 12 is inverted and placed into the water supply trough 2, one end of the push rod 361 passes through the through hole 311 on the bottle cap 31 and pushes against the sealing plate 33, compressing the support spring 34 and moving it towards the inside of the water supply bottle 12, thereby opening the water passage. At this time, water in the water supply bottle 12 flows into the water supply trough 2 below through the water passage and through hole 311 under the influence of gravity. The water in the water supply trough 2 then flows into the planting cavity 11 of the flowerpot body 1 through the water passage 21.

[0026] To improve the ease of water flow into the planting cavity 11, a guide slope 22 is formed on the side of the flowerpot body 1 near the water passage 21. The guide slope 22 is inclined downward toward the bottom of the planting cavity 11, thereby improving the smooth flow of water from the water supply tank 2 through the water passage 21 and finally into the bottom of the planting cavity 11.

[0027] A soil-separating plate 23 is installed on the side of the water passage 21 near the planting chamber 11. The soil-separating plate 23 is spaced apart from the water passage 21. The soil-separating plate 23 blocks large soil particles, reducing the amount of soil flowing through the water passage 21 to the water supply tank 2. Water can flow through the gap between the soil-separating plate 23 and the water passage to the planting chamber 11, reducing the amount of soil clogging the water passage 21.

[0028] During use, to improve the stability of the water supply bottle 12 on the flowerpot body 1, a positioning component 4 is used to stabilize and fix the inverted water supply bottle 12. The positioning component 4 includes a clamping block 41 with a clamping groove 42, which allows the clamping block 41 to be clamped onto the outer edge of the flowerpot body 1. A positioning ring 43 is rotatably mounted on the clamping block 41, and when the water supply bottle 12 is inverted, its body passes through the positioning ring 43. Positioning the water supply bottle 12 by the positioning ring 43 improves the stability of the water supply bottle 12 in a vertically inverted state.

[0029] In addition, ventilation holes 13 are provided on the side wall of the flowerpot body 1. Several ventilation holes 13 are spaced apart on the flowerpot body 1, and all ventilation holes 13 are connected to the planting cavity 11. The ventilation holes 13 help to exchange gases between the soil and the external environment, maintain the oxygen required for root respiration, and reduce root rot.

[0030] The implementation principle of a flowerpot with automatic water supply function in this application embodiment is as follows: When the water supply bottle 12 is installed upside down, the top rod 361 in the water supply trough 2 will push open the sealing plate 33, opening the through hole 311, allowing water to flow into the water supply trough 2 under the action of gravity, and then be guided by the guide slope 22 through the water passage 21 to seep into the bottom of the planting cavity 11. The side wall ventilation holes 13 improve the aeration effect of the root system, while the soil separating plate 23 effectively reduces soil blockage.

[0031] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
