The present invention relates to flowerpots, and in particular to a power-saving flowerpots capable of serial connecting with other flowerpot.
Referring to
The flowerpot body 5 has an approximate trapezoidal shape. The flowerpot body 5 has a planting tank 50 for planting plants, a water tank 51 below the planting tank 50 for collecting water and a water guide plate 52 below the water tank 51. A filter net plate 53 is installed in the planting tank 50. The surplus water in the planting tank 50 will flow into the water tank 51 for storage. When the water in the water tank 51 is full, the water will be guided from a notch 520 in the filter net plate 53 to another planting tank of another flowerpot body. The process can be repeated from the upper side to the lower side. Thus, an upper side of the water guide plate 52 is formed with the notch 520 having a triangular shape. Each of two opposite sides of the planting tank 50 is formed with a recess 54 for receiving a water tube 8. A backside of the planting tank 50 has a hook unit 56 for hooking to a net 9 of a wall 4 so that the wall has the flowerpot body 5 of the present invention and presents with a beautiful scenery.
The soil protecting frame 6 is formed by connecting two L shape rods 60 which are arranged in parallel. In assembly, the L shape rods 60 are arranged at two openings 55 at a bottom of the flowerpot body 5. An upper end of each L shape rod 50 is formed with a hook 61. When the hooks 61 hook to the net 9, one surface of the soil protecting frame 6 will press upon the lower side of the flowerpot body 5 so as to avoid soil to drain out. Another, it has the function of supporting the flowerpot body to have a stable structure, as shown in

Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a power-saving flowerpots capable of serial connecting with other flowerpot. The plants or flowers can be planted on the horizontal plane 10 and the inclined plane 11. The water tubes at two sides of the flowerpot causes that a plurality of flowerpots can be connected as a row. Moreover, may rows can be arranged as a large planting plane. Thus water is saved and the work for watering is simplified.
To achieve above objects, the present invention provides a power-saving flowerpots capable of serial connecting with other flowerpot, comprising a planting tank having a horizontal plane and an inclined plane at an upper side thereof for planting plants and flowers; a water tank connected to a lower side of the planting tank; the connection of the planting tank and the water tank being formed as an L shape; an interior of the water tank being formed with a water draining channel; an upper side of the water draining channel being formed with a communication hole so that when the water level in the water tank is over a lower edge of the communication hole; water will flow into the communication hole 200 from the water tank; and wherein a plurality of flowerpot can be installed as a first row by a retaining rod to pass through all hooks of the flowerpots; the water tubes of the flowerpot are connected one by one.
Each of two lateral sides of the water tank is formed with a water tube. Sealing pads are used to seal the water tubes. A water absorption sheet is located from the water tank to the planting tank for absorbing water; and a lower side of the planting tank is formed with a plurality of water draining holes for draining water from the planting tank; a lower side of the planting tank installed with a plurality of strips for enhancing the structure of the planting tank; an upper side of the planting tank is formed with a recess for locating a water spraying tube; and a rear side of the planting tank is installed with a hook.
The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing.
In order that those skilled in the art can further understand the present invention, a description will be provided in the following in details. However, these descriptions and the appended drawings are only used to cause those skilled in the art to understand the objects, features, and characteristics of the present invention, but not to be used to confine the scope and spirit of the present invention defined in the appended claims.
Referring to
A planting tank 1 has a horizontal plane 10 and an inclined plane 11 which are formed at an upper side of the planting tank 1. A lower side of the planting tank 1 is formed with a plurality of water draining holes 12 for draining water from the planting tank 1. A lower side of the planting tank 1 is installed with a plurality of strips 13 for enhancing the structure of the planting tank 1. An upper side of the planting tank 1 is formed with a recess 14 for locating a water spraying tube 8 (see
A water tank 2 is connected to a lower side of the planting tank 1. The connection of the planting tank 1 and the water tank 2 is formed as an L shape. An interior of the water tank 2 is formed with a water draining channel 20. An upper side of the water draining channel 20 is formed with a communication hole 200 so that when the water level in the water tank 2 is over a lower edge of the communication hole 200, water will flow into the communication hole 200 from the water tank 2. Each of two lateral sides of the water tank 2 is formed with a water tube 21 (22).
A water absorption sheet 3 is located from the water tank 2 to the planting tank 1 for absorbing water.
Referring to
The present invention provides a simple structure. In that, the planting tank 1 and the water tank 2 are formed with an L shape. The manufacturing cost is low. The plants or flowers can be planted on the horizontal plane 10 and the inclined plane 11. The water tubes at two sides of the flowerpot causes that a plurality of flowerpots can be connected as a row. Moreover, may rows can be arranged as a large planting plane. Thus water is saved and the work for watering is simplified.
The present invention is thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
