Abstract
Description
A water-absorbing fork with water storage function Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of gardening supplies and provides a water suction fork with a water storage function. Background Art
[0002] The water-absorbing surface is the core component of the water-absorbing flower pot. When used, it needs to be prefabricated at the bottom of the flower pot before planting flowers and plants. If the purchased potted plants want to achieve the self-absorption function, they need to be replanted and prefabricated with water-absorbing cotton. Therefore, the conventional use method is not suitable for decorative flower pots. Moreover, the water-absorbing cotton installed at the bottom of the flower pot only contacts the lowest layer of soil, and the water absorption efficiency is low. Technical issues
[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a water absorption fork with a water storage function. By using the water absorption fork, the water-washing cotton can be inserted into the soil from the bottom of the flower pot, and the water-washing cotton can be fixed in the soil at a certain height from the bottom of the flower pot, so that the water-washing cotton is in full contact with the soil, thereby improving the water absorption efficiency. A dual-purpose elastic support foot is provided at the bottom of the water absorption fork. The elastic support foot can directly prevent the flower pot from being re-entered and play a supporting role. The planting pot is lifted out of sleep to prevent the green plants from being soaked and rotten. The water absorption fork can also be fixed to the matching water storage bracket in advance through the elastic support foot. The bottom of the water storage bracket is used to store water. When in use, the green plant with the pot is pressed down from the top to insert the water absorption fork into the soil from the bottom of the planting pot. The lower end of the water-washing cotton extends into the water storage, transporting water to the planting pot to nourish the green plants. Technical Solutions
[0004] The utility model relates to a water-absorbing fork with a water storage function, comprising a prismatic fork body, a supporting plate and an elastic supporting foot.
[0005] The prismatic fork is designed to pierce the bottom of the planter and draw the water-absorbing cotton into the soil. A threading hole is located in the center of the fork. After one end of the water-absorbing cotton is threaded through the hole, the end of the string naturally droops. As the prismatic fork penetrates the soil, the water-absorbing cotton is drawn into the soil. Reinforcing ribs are located on either side of the prismatic fork to prevent it from bending under stress. An elastic plate and a safety step are located at the bottom of the prismatic fork. Utilizing the elastic deformation of the plastic, the elastic plate contracts toward the center during installation. Once installed, it springs outward under elastic force, causing the safety step at the bottom to latch onto the planter floor, preventing the water-absorbing fork from being dislodged from the bottom of the pot under external forces. An elastic groove is located inside the elastic plate to allow for the plate to deform inward. A support plate is located in the center of the water-absorbing fork to support the planter. Outwardly opening cable grooves are located on opposite sides of the support plate to secure the water-absorbing cotton string that hangs from above. The bottom of the water pump is equipped with relatively spaced elastic feet for support or fixing. Reinforcement ribs are located on the back of the elastic feet. A clip is located at the bottom of the elastic feet. When used with the water storage bracket, the clip locks onto the bottom of the water storage bracket to prevent the water suction fork from falling off the bracket. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0013] Implementation Methods The present invention is further described below through specific implementation methods, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.
[0014] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a water-storage fork structure. The water-storage fork is composed of a prismatic fork body 1, a support plate 2, and an elastic bracket 3. A threading hole 1-1 for fixing the absorbent cotton is provided in the middle of the prismatic fork body 1. Reinforcing ribs 1-2 are provided on both sides of the prismatic fork body 1 from top to bottom to prevent the prismatic fork body 1 from deforming under stress. An elastic plate 1-4 is provided at the lower portion of the prismatic fork body 1. An elastic groove 1-3 is provided inside the elastic plate 1-4. When the elastic plate 1-4 contracts inwardly under stress, the elastic groove 1-3 provides space for the elastic plate 1-4 to contract and deform. An anti-slip step 1-5 is provided at the bottom of the elastic plate 1-4. When the water-storage fork is installed in place, the elastic plate 1-4 rebounds outward, causing the anti-slip step 1-5 at the bottom to be stuck at the bottom of the plant pot, preventing the water-storage fork from being dislodged from the bottom of the plant pot under external force. The support plate 2 is disposed in the middle of the water-absorbing fork and is used to support the planter. Outwardly opening wire grooves 2-1 are provided on both sides of the support plate 2. The wire grooves 2-1 are used to secure the water-absorbing cotton rope suspended from above. Relatively distributed elastic legs 3 are provided at the lower portion of the support plate 2 to provide support or fixation. Vertical ribs 3-1 are provided on the back of the elastic legs 3. A buckle 3-2 is provided at the bottom of the elastic legs 3. When used in conjunction with the water storage bracket, the buckle 3-2 can be locked to the bottom surface of the water storage bracket to prevent the water-absorbing fork from falling off the bracket.
[0015] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the installation of the washing cotton. During installation, one end of the washing cotton 4 is passed through the threading hole 1-1, and the middle part of the washing cotton 4 is placed in the threading hole 1-1. The washing cotton 4 hanging on both sides is inserted into the wire clamping groove 2-1 from the outer opening, and the washing cotton 4 is pushed to the inner root position of the wire clamping groove 2-1, so that the washing cotton 4 is in a vertical downward state.
[0016] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the connection between the water suction fork and the water storage bracket. When in use, place the water suction fork with the washing cotton 4 on the upper part of the water storage bracket, align the elastic support leg 3 with the cross brace and press it downward. After the buckle 3-2 contacts the cross brace, the elastic bracket 3 is deformed outward by the force and continues to be pushed downward until it contacts the top of the cross brace and the bottom of the support plate 2. At this time, the elastic support leg 3 rebounds, causing the buckle 3-2 to be stuck under the cross brace to prevent the water suction fork from falling off.
[0017] FIG4 is a functional schematic diagram of a water-absorbing fork with a water storage function. As shown in (1), water is stored at the bottom of the decorative flower pot, and a water storage bracket is placed inside the decorative flower pot. The water-absorbing fork with absorbent cotton 4 is installed on the water storage bracket. The planting pot with green plants is pressed downward from above the water-absorbing fork until the bottom of the planting pot contacts the water storage bracket. The absorbent cotton 4 is buried in the soil along with the water-absorbing fork, and the lower end of the absorbent cotton 4 hangs in the water, transporting the water stored at the bottom of the decorative flower pot to the planting pot to nourish the green plants.
[0018] As shown in Figure (2), the water absorption fork can also be used independently to play a supporting role. Three water absorption forks equipped with water absorption cotton 4 are evenly inserted into the bottom of the planting pot, ensuring that the anti-dropping steps 1-5 are stuck at the bottom of the planting pot to prevent them from falling off. The planting pot with the water absorption fork is placed inside the decorative flower pot. Under the support of the elastic support foot 3, more than 2 cm of water storage space is left at the bottom of the decorative flower pot. The water absorption cotton 4 can transport the water stored here to the planting pot to nourish the flowers and plants.
[0019] Figure 5 shows the structure of water-storage forks B, C, D, and E. Depending on how the forks are used and how they are fixed, the bottom brackets can be configured as "I-shaped" legs 5, as shown in fork B. These legs can be used in conjunction with brackets of a certain thickness. When used alone for support, the legs can be configured as cross legs 6, as shown in fork C, triangular legs 7, as shown in fork D, or cylindrical legs 8, as shown in fork E.
