Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to bonsai trees, and more particularly to prefabricated artificial bonsai trees. [Background technology]

[0002] Artificial bonsai are a common indoor decoration and are widely favored by consumers due to their convenience and the fact that they do not require artificial cultivation. Using artificial bonsai can beautify the indoor environment and also have a relaxing effect.

[0003] Patent document CN1082120121A discloses a multifunctional artificial bonsai plant, which includes a flowerpot, an upwardly opening storage cavity, a positioning iron block within the storage cavity, a male-threaded positioning rod integrally formed in the center of the top surface of the positioning iron block, a flexible electrical conduit threadedly engaged with the positioning rod, an artificial bark covering fitted over the flexible electrical conduit, an annular groove formed in the upper part of the inner wall of the flowerpot, a flowerpot cover fitted over the lower part of the flexible electrical conduit, the underside of the flowerpot cover abutting the bottom of the annular groove, an artificial soil layer on the upper surface of the flowerpot cover, and a nonwoven fabric base layer, a wire mesh positioning layer, and a plastic upper layer sequentially formed on the artificial bark covering from the inside to the outside. This technical form has a reasonable structural design, a simple structure, and removable components, which makes transportation and maintenance somewhat easier, but it has the following drawbacks. Since all artificial branches must be assembled to the same flexible electrical conduit, the vertical size of the same bonsai is roughly determined by the height of the flexible electrical conduit, and the horizontal size of the same bonsai is determined by the shape of the artificial branches, the range of variation in vertical and horizontal sizes of artificial bonsai made by conventional technology is small, and the various shapes available are not very different. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention aims to provide an assembled artificial bonsai tree that has a large range of possible changes in horizontal and vertical dimensions, and that has a wide variety of available shapes.

[0005] The technical solutions used by the present invention to solve the problems are as follows:

[0006] The plant includes a pot and a plant body, the pot is provided with a third connecting part, the number of the plant bodies is at least two, the first connecting part is provided at a lower part of the plant body, and the second connecting part is provided at an upper part of the plant body, and the second connecting part and the third connecting part are both fitted into the first connecting part; the second connection part in the upper part of the plant is plural and the third connection part in the pot is one, or the third connection part in the pot is plural and the second connection part in the upper part of the plant is one, or the second connection part in the upper part of the plant and the third connection part in the pot are both plural, That is, there are a plurality of second connection parts in the same plant body and a plurality of third connection parts in the same pot.

[0007] In the present invention, the plant bodies may be connected to each other via the first connecting part and the second connecting part, and may be assembled into the pot via the first connecting part and the third connecting part.

[0008] When one plant body is assembled in a pot and the remaining plants are assembled vertically in succession, the assembled artificial bonsai of the present invention reaches its maximum vertical size.

[0009] If there are multiple second connection parts at the top of the plant body and only one third connection part in the pot, and other plants are inserted into all of the multiple second connection parts, the horizontal size of this assembled artificial bonsai will be large.

[0010] If there are multiple third connection parts in the pot and only one second connection part at the top of the plant body, and the plant body is assembled to all of the multiple third connection parts, this assembled artificial bonsai will be in its maximum horizontal size.

[0011] When there are multiple second connection parts at the top of the plant body and multiple third connection parts in the pot, and the plant body is assembled to all of the multiple third connection parts, this assembled artificial bonsai will be in a state where its horizontal size is maximized.

[0012] Since the plant bodies can be assembled vertically one after the other, the height of this prefabricated artificial bonsai can be changed over a wide range, and since all the plant bodies can be directly assembled into the pot via the first and third connecting parts, the horizontal size of this prefabricated artificial bonsai can be changed over a wide range, and there are large differences in the various states and shapes available, so that a user can obtain a variety of shapes by simply purchasing one prefabricated artificial bonsai.

[0042] As shown in Figures 8 to 12, the plant further includes a male plug 100 and a female plug 20, the male plug 100 being fixedly connected to one end of the plant body, and the female plug 20 being fixedly connected to the other end of the plant body, and the male plug 100 and the female plug 20 being inserted and connected. The male plug 100 and the female plug 20 are made of engineering plastic or metal material. The material of the male plug 100 and the female plug 20 is different from the material of the plant body. The male plug 100 and the female plug 20 are made of engineering plastic or metal material, and since the material itself has excellent hardness, the insertion portion is less likely to deform, making the insertion method more reliable.

[0043] The male plug 100 and the female plug 20 are integrally molded with the plant body by insert injection molding, which aims to fix and connect the plugs to the corresponding branches.

[0044] One of the male plug 100 and the female plug 20 is provided with a mounting groove, and the other is provided with a circular hole 201. A throttle opening is provided at the top of the mounting groove, and a spring and a steel ball 101 are attached within the mounting groove, the outer diameter of the steel ball 101 being larger than the diameter of the throttle opening, and the steel ball 101 partially extending outside the throttle opening can be pressed against the circular hole 201 by the biasing action of the spring, and thus the steel ball 101 being pressed against the circular hole 201 prevents the male plug 100 from loosening in the vertical direction.

[0045] One of the male plug 100 and the female plug 20 is provided with a positioning post 102, and the other is provided with a groove 202 that fits into the positioning post 102. The positions of the positioning post 102 and the steel ball 101 are relatively fixed, and when the positioning post 102 is inserted into the groove 202, the steel ball 101 is closely fitted into the circular hole 201. By combining the positioning action of the positioning post 102 and the groove 202 and the fixing action of the steel ball 101 and the circular hole 201, the male plug 100 is directionally and fixedly inserted into the female plug 20, and the user only needs to insert it along the insertion direction of the positioning post 102 and the groove 202.

[0046] A first insertion portion 103 is provided on the side of the male plug 100 closer to the plant body, and a second insertion portion 104 is provided on the side of the male plug 100 away from the plant body, and the positioning post 102 is provided on the first insertion portion 103. The mounting groove, steel ball 101 and spring are all attached to the second insertion portion 104, and the vertical cross-sectional area of ​​the first insertion portion 103 is larger than that of the second insertion portion 104. The female plug 20 is provided with a third insertion portion 203 that fits into the first insertion portion 103, and a fourth insertion portion 204 that fits into the second insertion portion 104, the first insertion portion 103 and the third insertion portion 203 are inserted and connected, and the second insertion portion 104 and the fourth insertion portion 204 are inserted and connected, and in the insertion method between the first insertion portion 103 and the third insertion portion 203 and the insertion method between the second insertion portion 104 and the fourth insertion portion 204, at least one location is inter-fitted, thereby preventing loosening of the male plug 100 in the horizontal direction. By providing the first insertion portion 103 and the second insertion portion 104 with different outer diameters, the contact area between the male plug 100 and the female plug 20 is increased, further improving assembly stability.

[0047] The base of the male plug 100 is provided with a first spherical surface 105 that protrudes outward, and the top of the female plug 20 is provided with a second spherical surface 205 that fits into the first spherical surface 105 and is recessed inward, with the first spherical surface 105 tightly contacting the second spherical surface 205. The tight contact between the first spherical surface 105 and the second spherical surface 205 increases the contact area of ​​the insertion surfaces, further improving assembly stability.

[0048] A first flat surface 3 is provided on the edge of the first spherical surface 105, and a second flat surface 4 is provided on the edge of the second spherical surface 205, and the first flat surface 3 is in close contact with the second flat surface 4, and the outer diameter of the first flat surface 3 is equal to the outer diameter of the second flat surface 4. By having the first flat surface 3 in close contact with the second flat surface 4, the insertion site is hidden, improving the appearance of the bonsai or plant.

[0049] The male plug 100 and the female plug 20 are both prismatic, with matching cross sections of the male plug 100 and the female plug 20 forming a polygonal structure. Compared to a cylindrical structure, the polygonal structure limits the rotation of the plant bodies and allows one plant body to be directionally inserted into another plant body without the need to rotate to find a mating position, improving insertion efficiency. Each of the four side walls of the female plug 20 has a circular hole 201, a design that facilitates processing and improves processing efficiency.
