TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention relates to a device for ensuring plant survival during drought.
TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
Plants can die in drought for lack of water supply temporarily, regardless whether the plants are grown by men or naturally reproduced. For example, in some areas, 4 months without rain is sufficient to kill plants in the areas in large scale. In another example, a 2-month vacation can let plants at home die because no one waters them during the vacation. Some dry areas can only grow grass and not trees because of occasional water shortage. There are no trees in these dry areas because the trees have died due to a short period of drought. In such dry areas, produce trees such as fruit trees, poplars and pine trees cannot survive. In some other intermittent dry areas, because of drought, some land has become desert. As a result, plants cannot grow, even though intermittent natural rain could be sufficient for their growth, and the rain water is lost due to the lack of plants.
SUMMARY
The objective of the disclosed device is to overcome the above problems caused by drought. The disclosed device can improve the growth condition for plants and thus enhance their growth and ensure their survival.
The purpose of the disclosed device can be achieved by the following technical scheme.
A device for ensuring the survival of plants includes a water storage container, an evaporation net, a funnel, a indicating rod and a float. The water storage container is used for storing water, the upper part of the water storage container has an evaporation net, the evaporation net is a gas permeable structure, and the evaporation is performed. There is a funnel connected to the net. The leaking tube of the funnel is equipped with a indicating rod. There is a gap between the leaking tube of the funnel and the indicating rod. The lower end of the indicating rod extends to the water storage container and is connected with a float. The floating rod drives the indicating rod to indicate the inside of the water storage container water level. A conduit can also be used between the funnel and the evaporation net.
The method is as follows: the water storage container and the evaporation net are buried in the soil of the root of the plant, and the water is filled into the water storage container through the gap between the leaking tube of the funnel and the indicator rod, the float is floated to the water surface by the water, and the floating rod drives the indicator rod to rise. Indicate the water level in the water storage container. The indicator rod can be marked with a scale to indicate the level of the water level in the water storage container, and the water is filled until the water storage container is full. After that, the water in the water storage tank naturally evaporates into the soil through the evaporation net, and the water in the soil is maintained to maintain the survival of the plant. After the water storage container is filled with water, the natural evaporation time of 1-5 months or more can be maintained. The time is determined by the size of the water storage container, the temperature, and the amount of water absorbed by the plant. For example, the winter time is longer. During this period, the plants can be saved without watering.
As an optimization aspect, according to the above device for ensuring plant survival, the evaporation net cover has a gauze to prevent soil or sand from entering the water storage container.
As an optimization aspect, according to the above device for ensuring plant survival, the inside of the funnel has an inner threaded buckle. The filter is provided with a filter net, the lower end of the filter net has a thread buckle, and the filter net has an indicator rod passing through it. The funnel is connected to the evaporation net by a conduit, and the lower end of the conduit is connected with an elbow. The other end of the elbow has a check switch on the outlet to prevent water in the water storage container from evaporating to the atmosphere along the conduit, indicator rod and float connection.
As an optimization aspect, according to the above device for ensuring plant survival, the internal thread in the funnel is a tapered inner thread. The funnel is provided with a filter net, and the lower end of the filter has a tapered external thread.
In another general aspect, a method for using the disclosed device is as follows: the water storage container and the evaporation net are buried in the soil of the root of the plant, and the length of the catheter is adjusted according to the depth of the root of the plant. The funnel with the inner thread is slightly lower than the ground plane, so that the ground rain can flow into the water storage container. A plastic cloth can be placed between the funnel and the filter. The plastic cloth is laid into a funnel shape, and the rainwater is collected into the filter through the plastic cloth, and flows into the water storage container through the filter hole, the funnel, and the conduit. The indicator rod indicates the water level of the water storage container. If the rainfall is too large, water that exceeds the water storage tank penetrates into the soil through the evaporation net. After the rain, the water in the water storage tank naturally evaporates into the soil through the evaporation net, and there is water in the soil, and the plants can survive. According to the size of the water storage container, the water in the water storage container can be maintained for 4-6 months or more. More natural evaporation time, during which plants can survive without watering. Observe the indicator rod. If the water in the water storage container is about to evaporate, manually inject water into the water storage container in time to survive the plant. Another advantage of the present invention is that the amount of water that is manually injected into the water storage container is much less than that of irrigation, and therefore the consumption of water resources and labor costs is very low.
As an optimization aspect, according to the above device for ensuring plant survival, the water storage container 1 has a water pipe connection port, and the plurality of water storage containers are connected together by a water pipe. A plurality of water storage containers and evaporation nets are buried in the soil of a large plant root, wherein rain water can flow in the device, and when the rainwater flowing into the water storage container of the device is higher than the water pipe connection port, the water flows into other water storage containers. This will accumulate more rain and promote plant growth. The water pipe connection can also connect tap water or irrigation pipes underground to achieve artificial irrigation.
As an optimization, according to the above device for ensuring plant survival, the water storage container and the evaporation net are integrated, and are called a water storage evaporator, and the upper end of the water storage evaporator has a plurality of the venting hole and the lower end of the water storage evaporator are used for storing water, and have the same function as the water storage container and the evaporation net. The upper end of the water storage evaporator has a cover, and the cover has a conduit hole. The venting hole at the upper end of the water storage evaporation tank can be covered with gauze.
The disclosed device has the advantages of low use cost, simple use and convenient transportation, and is particularly suitable for use in areas with drought and temporary water shortage. After the device is installed, the plant can survive through continuous drought. For people going for a long vacation, with the disclosed device, the flowers and plants raised at home will not die. Some areas grown with only grass can be planted with produce trees such as fruit trees, poplars and pine trees that cannot be planted in otherwise arid areas. Some drought, desertification and desert areas can grow grass and plant trees using the disclosed device to restore the land to an oasis and improve the living environment of human beings.
