Description

[0001] The present utility model relates to the field of flower pots, in particular a drip-free wall-mounted flower pot.

[0002] A wall-mounted flower pot is a plant container specifically designed for vertical spaces. Hanging it on walls, balconies, fences, pillars, or other vertical surfaces allows for three-dimensional greenery and efficient use of space. However, a common problem with this type of wall-mounted flower pot is dripping when watering, leaving dirty water on the floor.

[0003] For example, the Chinese patent document (publication number: CN 202310703 U) provides a wall-mounted flowerpot comprising a pot body with through-holes in the bottom wall of the pot body, a pot body attached to the flowerpot, a space beneath the pot body containing a water collection box, and hanging holes on the rear side wall of the pot body. The flowerpot is attached to the wall using these hanging holes, thus solving the problem of conventional flowerpots taking up a large amount of floor space.

[0004] However, when using the wall-mounted flower pot, mud and dirt particles can easily accumulate on the edge of the water collection box, making it difficult to pull out the water collection box and reducing user comfort.

[0005] The current state of the art offers no effective solution to the problems mentioned.

[0006] The present invention relates to a flowerpot with the features of claim 1. Further developments of the flowerpot are specified, among others, with the features of the dependent claims. In particular, the invention relates to a drip-free, wall-mounted flowerpot to solve the problem of the insufficient user-friendliness of existing wall-mounted flowerpots.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides a, in particular drip-free, wall-mounted flowerpot comprising the following: a planter whose base wall is provided with water perforations, wherein suspension ears are arranged on the outside of the rear wall of the planter; a water collection tray located below the planter; a connector attached to the base of the planter, wherein the connector forms a slot in the horizontal direction so that the water collection tray can be inserted into or removed from the slot; an opening is formed on the underside of the connector, wherein the width of the base of the water collection tray is greater than the width of the opening.

[0008] Optionally, the connector and the planter have a split design; the connector is detachably connected to the planter.

[0009] Optionally, the water collection tray can be inserted into the slot from the side of the planter, so that the direction of pull-out of the water collection tray runs parallel to the plane in which the back wall of the planter lies.

[0010] Optionally, the connector comprises two opposing side-seam plates, with the gap between the undersides of both plates forming the opening. The vertical section of the side-seam plates is "⊂"-shaped, the two plates are arranged symmetrically, and their upper surfaces are connected to the planter, with the base of the water collection tray being lockable between the side-seam plates.

[0011] Optionally, a gap H is present between the top of the water collection tray and the inner upper wall of the side-seam panel, with the gap H being more than 5 mm.

[0012] Optionally, the connector includes a vertically oriented back plate that is attached between two side-folding plates, with the surface of the back plate being able to support a side edge of the water collection tray.

[0013] Optionally, the underside of the backplate extends horizontally, and the underside of the backplate can support the water collection tray from its base.

[0014] Optionally, a reinforcing plate is provided, which is attached between two side-seam plates and positioned on the side facing away from the back plate; the surface of the reinforcing plate rests against the underside of the planter. The reinforcing plate is detachably connected to the planter, or the two ends of the reinforcing plate are welded to the two side-seam plates.

[0015] Optionally, the upper side of the shell wall of the water collection tray can be folded outwards, creating a gripping rim.

[0016] To achieve the aforementioned purpose, the present application also provides a flowerpot, in particular a drip-free, wall-mounted one, which comprises the following: a planting container, a water collection tray, and a connector. The planting container includes a base, a front and back wall opposite each other, and two side walls adjacent to the front and back walls, respectively. The base of the planting container is provided with drainage holes. Suspension lugs are attached to the outside of the back wall of the planting container. The connector is attached to the base of the planting container. The connector has a slot in the horizontal direction. A slot opening is arranged below at least one side wall of the planting container. The water collection tray is located below the planting container.The water collection tray can be inserted into the slot or pulled out of the slot.

[0017] The application of the technical solution provided by the present utility model offers the following advantageous effects compared to the prior art: (1) The connector of the drip-free wall-mounted flower pot can stably support the water collection tray, and the design of the opening reduces the contact area between the bottom of the water collection tray and the connector, allowing the user to easily pull the water collection tray out from the bottom of the planter to empty the water. At the same time, the opening on the bottom allows the user to wipe and clean the inner wall of the connector, further enhancing ease of use. (2) When the drip-free, wall-mounted flower pot is attached to a vertical surface using the hanging tabs on its back, the front of the planter faces the user. However, the user does not pull out the drip tray from the underside of the front of the planter, but rather from the underside of the side of the wall-mounted flower pot. This method of removal allows the user to more easily operate the drip tray by pulling it out, maintain stable control of the drip tray, and prevent water from spilling during removal, thus increasing the user-friendliness of the wall-mounted flower pot.

[0022] As in the Fig. As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the present embodiment provides a drip-free wall-mounted flower pot comprising a planting container 100, a water collection tray 200 and a connector 300.

[0023] Specifically, the planter comprises 100, as shown in Fig. 2 shown, a bottom wall 110 as well as an opposite front wall 120 and rear wall 130, furthermore two side walls 140, each adjoining the front wall 120 and the rear wall 130.

[0024] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 3, water passage openings 111 are formed in the bottom wall 110 of the planting container 100, with several such water passage openings 111 being possible to meet the requirements of plant growth. Suspension ears 400 are attached to the outside of the rear wall 130 of the planting container 100, which make it possible to hang the planting container on a building wall, a fence, a mailbox wall or similar locations.

[0025] The water collection tray 200 is located below the plant container 100 and can collect the water seeping downwards from the plant container 100 through water passage openings 111 in order to prevent dirty water from dripping directly onto the ground.

[0026] Preferably, the upper side of the shell wall of the water collection tray 200 is folded outwards to form a gripping rim 210, which makes it easier for the user to remove the water collection tray 200.

[0027] As in the Fig. 4, Fig. 5 and Fig. As shown in Figure 6, the connector 300 is attached to the bottom of the planting container 100. The connector 300 has a slot 310 in the horizontal direction, which serves to receive the water collection tray 200. The water collection tray 200 can be inserted into or pulled out of the slot 310.

[0028] As in the Fig. 5 and Fig. Figure 6 shows an embodiment for increasing user comfort, in which an opening 320 is formed on the underside of the connector 300, wherein the width of the bottom of the water collection tray 200 is greater than the width of the opening 320.

[0029] This allows the connector 300 to stably support the water collection tray 200, and the arrangement of the opening 320 further reduces the weight of the drip-free, wall-mounted flowerpot compared to the prior art, thus emphasizing its lightweight construction. In addition, the contact area between the base of the water collection tray 200 and the connector 300 is reduced, allowing the user to easily pull the water collection tray 200 out from the bottom of the planter 100 to empty the liquid. Simultaneously, the user can also quickly wipe the inner wall of the connector 300 through the opening 320 on its underside or perform other maintenance work, further improving ease of use.

[0030] If the opening 320 described above is not provided, the water collection tray 200, known from the prior art, often contains soil particles in the collected water; furthermore, soil particles can also adhere to the sliding contact areas of the water collection tray 200 and the connector 300. This makes it difficult for the user to pull out the water collection tray 200 smoothly and also makes cleaning the water collection tray 200 less convenient.

[0031] As a further embodiment to increase user comfort, the presence of an opening 320 on the underside of the connector 300 is not subject to any restrictions in this embodiment. As in Fig. As shown in Figure 4, a slot opening 311 of the slot 310 is provided below at least one side wall 140 of the planting container 100, the slot opening 311 of the slot 310 serving as an inlet for the water collection tray 200 into the slot 310. Optionally, the planting container 100 comprises two side walls 140, as shown in Figure 4. Fig. 4 shown, wherein the insertion opening 311 can be arranged exclusively below one of the side walls 140 and the water collection tray 200 can only be inserted into the slot 310 from one end; Or, as in Fig. As shown in Figure 7, there can be 140 insertion openings 311 under both side walls, so that the water collection tray 200 can be inserted from both ends of the slot 310.

[0032] Specifically, the water collection tray 200 is inserted laterally from the planting container 100 into the slot 310, so that the direction of pull-out of the water collection tray 200 runs parallel to the plane in which the back wall 130 of the planting container 100 lies. As in Fig. As shown in Figure 5, when the wall-mounted flowerpot is suspended and attached to a vertical surface by means of the suspension ears 400 on the back wall 130, the front wall 120 of the planter 100 faces the user. However, the user does not pull out the water collection tray 200 from below the front wall 120 of the planter 100, but rather from the underside of the side wall 140 of the wall-mounted flowerpot. This method of pulling it out makes it easier for the user to apply pulling force to the water collection tray 200; the user can maintain stable control of the water collection tray 200 and prevent water from spilling out of it during the process. This allows the user to use the drip-free wall-mounted flowerpot more comfortably.

[0033] The design described above also means that the water collection tray 200 in the planter 100 is not visible from the front wall 120, making the wall-mounted flower pot appear more aesthetically pleasing overall.

[0034] Optionally, the connector 300 and the planter 100 are available in a split design, meaning that the connector 300 is not formed by a downwardly extended and bent plate of the planter 100. This design allows for the creation of an independent planting space within the planter 100 and ensures its stability.

[0035] Preferably, the connector 300 is detachably connected to the planter 100, for example by means of a screw connection. If the connector 300 is only provided with a plug opening 311 at one end, the water collection tray 200 must be pulled out or pushed in from the left or right side of the drip-free, wall-mounted flowerpot. The user can remove the connector 300 from the planter 100 and change the position of the plug opening 311. Thus, a left-handed user can position the plug opening 311 on the left side wall 140 of the planter 100, while a right-handed user can position the plug opening 311 on the right side wall 140 of the planter 100. The user can freely choose the combination of connector 300 and planter 100.

[0036] In particular, the connector comprises 300, as shown in Fig. Figure 8 shows two opposing side-seam panels 330, with the gap between the lower ends of the two side-seam panels 330 forming the opening 320 mentioned above. The vertical section of the side-seam panels 330 is "⊏"-shaped; the two side-seam panels 330 are arranged symmetrically to each other, and the upper ends of the two side-seam panels 330 are each connected to the planter 100, with the water collection tray 200 being able to be snapped between the side-seam panels 330. It should be noted that the plane in which the vertical section is located runs parallel to the side wall 140 of the planter 100. This design is characterized by a simple structure and easy assembly, ensures a stable connection with the planter 100, and allows for the secure attachment of the water collection tray 200.

[0037] In particular, the side-folding plate comprises 330, as shown in Fig. Figure 8 shows a vertical plate 332 and two opposing horizontal plates 331. The vertical plate 332 is arranged between the two horizontal plates 331, the width of which can be the same or different.

[0038] Preferably, as in Fig. Figure 9 shows a gap H between the top of the water collection tray 200 and the inner upper wall of the side-seam plate 330, wherein the gap H is at least 5 mm, for example 5 mm, 5.5 mm, 6 mm or 7 mm. This gap H provides some clearance for slight displacement when the water collection tray 200 is pulled out, so that the user can pull the water collection tray out more easily.

[0039] Preferably, the connector comprises 300, as shown in Fig. Figure 10 shows at least one vertically extending back plate 340, which is attached between the two side-folding plates 330. The surface of the back plate 340 can support a side edge of the water collection tray 200, thus preventing the water collection tray 200 from protruding directly from the connector 300 when it is inserted into it.

[0040] In particular, as in Fig. Figure 10 shows the underside of the backplate 340 in a horizontal direction, where the underside of the backplate 340 can support the water collection tray 200 from below. This design is more stable.

[0041] Preferably, the design includes, as in Fig.Figure 10 shows a reinforcing plate 500, which is attached between two side-folding plates 330 and is located on the side facing away from the back plate 340. The surface of the reinforcing plate 500 is flush with the underside of the planter 100. The base of the planter 100 is usually made of a thin plate. If the water collection tray 200 is used, deformation can occur with prolonged use. However, the reinforcing plate 500, together with the connector 300 at the base of the planter 100, forms an almost frame-shaped structure that fits snugly against the planter 100 and can thus improve the overall resistance to deformation of the planter 100.

[0042] Optionally, the reinforcement plate 500 can be detachably connected to the planter 100 in order to flexibly adapt the installation location of the connector 300.

[0043] Optionally, the two ends of the reinforcement plate 500 are each welded to two side seam plates 330.

[0044] In this application, the terms "assembly," "arrangement," "provided with," "connection," "connected," and "plug connection" are to be understood in their broadest sense. For example, they may refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral design; they may be mechanical or electrical connections; they may be direct connections, indirect connections via an intermediate medium, or internal connections between two devices, components, or parts. A person skilled in the relevant field will be able to understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application according to the circumstances.

[0045] The foregoing merely represents preferred embodiments of this application and is not intended to limit the application. Various amendments and modifications to this application are possible for those skilled in the art.
