Problems solved by technology

However, the humidity value of the soil at the bottom of the flower pot cannot represent the humidity environment required by the plant. The humidity value of the soil at the bottom is generally very high, and cannot be used as a factor to judge whether the plant is short of water.
At the same time, the capacity of the water storage bottle is too small to meet the long-term water demand of plants.

Embodiment Construction

[0049]The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can implement it with reference to the description.

[0050] It should be understood that terms such as "having", "comprising" and "including" as used herein do not entail the presence or addition of one or more other elements or combinations thereof.

[0051] figure 1 It shows an implementation form according to the present invention, where the smart flower pot includes an airtight air bag 110 , a sensor 120 , a water supply device 130 , a communication module 140 , a single chip microcomputer 150 , a pot body 160 and a plant 170 .

[0052] The airtight airbag 110 is a waterproof film made of polyvinyl alcohol. The airtight airbag 110 is installed on the plant leaves to form a closed environment with the leaves. The airtight airbag 110 is so small that the airtight environment can simulate the internal environment of the plant. ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a smart flowerpot and a water potential and weight based control method. The smart flowerpot comprises a closed air bag, a temperature and humidity sensor, a weight sensor, a water supply device, a communication module, a single-chip microcomputer, a flowerpot body and a plant. By means of the technology of Internet of Things, a terminal of the communication module can control and manage growth conditions of the plant at any time anywhere; water potential of leaves can be calculated by temperature and humidity and can judge whether the plant is short of water or not, whether the plant is short of water or not can be monitored in real time, and lagging in monitoring is overcome. In addition, by the water potential and weight based control method, watering of the plant can be accurately controlled so as to prevent too much or too less water.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of smart home. More specifically, the present invention relates to an intelligent flower pot, and a control method for automatically controlling the water addition and the amount of water added to the flower pot. Background technique [0002] With the progress of society, people's quality of life has also improved, and more and more families pay attention to a healthy living environment. Placing some potted flowers in the environment of home, work and study can not only absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis, purify the indoor air, but also cultivate our sentiment and make our life, work and study more pleasant. Proper plant growth is a major concern, and one of the biggest contributors to this concern is the plant's need for proper moisture. If the family is out and the plants are left unattended, there is a good chance that the flowers will wilt. [0003] The patent number of "Intelligent Automatic Watering...
