Abstract

A plant cultivation device and a greening apparatus thereof are provided. The plant cultivation device includes a fixing member which includes a first channel, a shared channel and a plurality of first through-holes. The first through-hole is connected with the first channel and the shared channel, and passes through an upper surface of the fixing member. Both the first through-hole and the shared channel are stack-up with each other, and the first through-hole is located above the shared channel. The shared channel is configured to fill with a cultivation medium,and the first channel is configured to store water flowing from the shared channel by the first through-hole when too much water is stored in the shared channel. The present disclosure can optimize a growing environment of plants.

Claims (21)

1. A plant cultivation device comprising:

a fixing member comprising a first channel, a shared channel and a plurality of first through-holes, the first through-hole connected with the first channel and the shared channel and passing through an upper surface of the fixing member; the first channel being stack-up with the shared channel and located above the shared channel; and wherein

the shared channel is configured to fill with a cultivation medium, and the first channel is configured to store water flowing from the shared channel by the first through-hole when too much water is stored in the shared channel;

the plant cultivation device further comprises an upper cover positioned on an upper end of the fixing member and connected with an irrigation pipe, and a lower cover positioned on a lower end of the fixing member and connected with a drain-pipe.

2. The plant cultivation device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fixing member is an integral configuration to form the first channel, the shared channel and the plurality of first through-holes.

3. The plant cultivation device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the upper cover is connected with a top portion of the first channel, and the lower cover is connected with a bottom portion of the first channel, excessive water for irrigation flowing into the drain-pipe through the first channel and the lower cover.

4. The plant cultivation device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein a top end of the shared channel is connected with the upper cover so that water and nutrient solutions in the irrigation pipe is directly guided into the shared channel by the upper cover, and a bottom end of the shared channel is connected with the lower cover.

5. The plant cultivation device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fixing member further comprises a second channel and a plurality of second through-holes, the second through-hole connected with the second channel and the shared channel and passing through the upper surface of the fixing member;

the second channel being stack-up with the shared channel and located above the shared channel; the second channel configured to store the water flowing from the shared channel by the second through-hole when too much water is stored in the shared channel, the first channel and the second channel arranged on two sides of the shared channel.

6. The plant cultivation device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the fixing member is an integral configuration to form the first channel, the second channel, the shared channel, and the plurality of first and second through-holes.

7. The plant cultivation device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the plant cultivation device further comprises an upper cover positioned on an upper end of the fixing member and connected with an irrigation pipe, and a lower cover positioned on a lower end of the fixing member and connected with a drain-pipe.

8. The plant cultivation device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the upper cover is connected with a top portion of the first channel and an upper portion of the second channel, and the lower cover is connected with a bottom portion of the first channel and a lower portion of the second channel, excessive water for irrigation flowing into the drain-pipe through the first channel, the second channel and the lower cover.

9. The plant cultivation device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein a top end of the shared channel is connected with the upper cover so that water and nutrient solutions in the irrigation pipe is directly guided into the shared channel by the upper cover, and a bottom end of the shared channel is connected with the lower cover.

10. A greening apparatus configured to cultivate plants on a roof and comprising at least two plant cultivation devices and a connecting member, the connecting member configured to connect with two adjacent plant cultivation devices;

each plant cultivation device comprising at least two fixing members, the fixing member comprising a first channel, a shared channel and a plurality of first through-holes, the first through-hole connected with the first channel and the shared channel, and passing through an upper surface of the fixing member; the first channel being stack-up with the shared channel and located above the shared channel; and wherein

the shared channel is configured to fill with a cultivation medium, and the first channel is configured to store water flowing from the shared channel by the first through-hole when too much water is stored in the shared channel;

wherein the connecting member comprises an arch top so that rainwater can flow into the plant cultivation device arranged on both sides of the connecting member.

11. The greening apparatus as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the fixing member further comprises a clasp respectively formed on two sides of an upper end thereof, and the connecting member comprises a clamping room so that the clasps of each two adjacent fixing members can respectively clamp into a corresponding portion of the clamping room so as to connect the two adjacent fixing members together.

12. The greening apparatus as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the clamping room comprises a first hole, a second hole and a pair of resisting portions, the first hole arranged between the pair of resisting portions, and the clasp entering the second hole via the first hole and clamped between the resisting portion and an inner wall of the second hole.

13. The greening apparatus as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the plant cultivation device further comprises an upper cover positioned on the upper end of the fixing member and connected with an irrigation pipe, and a lower cover positioned on a lower end of the fixing member and connected with a drain-pipe, the upper cover connected with a top portion of the first channel, and the lower cover connected with a bottom portion of the first channel, excessive water for irrigation flowing into the drain-pipe through the first channel and the lower cover.
