Detailed implementation

[0031] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although some embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Instead, these embodiments are provided to more thoroughly and completely understand the present invention. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present invention are only for exemplary purposes and are not used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0032] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 as shown, the present invention provides an intelligent flower-growing machine, including a closer 10, a detector 20 and a controller 30.

[0033] The closer 10 is used to carry the target plants and is the main component for realizing the distance adjustment between the target plants. The closer 10 includes a first driving member and a plurality of closer seats 12.

[0034] Among them, the closer seat 12 is used to carry the target plants. The user can set the target plants according to needs, such as monstera, chlorophytum, epipremnum aureum, etc.

[0035] The plurality of closer seats 12 are arranged around a preset axis to cooperate with the first driving member to realize distance adjustment. Those skilled in the art can set the position of the preset axis and the number of closer seats 12 according to actual needs. Exemplarily, the preset axis is set to be parallel to the vertical direction, and the number of closer seats 12 is set to six.

[0036] The first driving member is respectively connected to the plurality of opening and closing seats 12 by transmission, and the first driving member is used to drive the plurality of opening and closing seats 12 to move along a first direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the preset axis. Those skilled in the art can set a specific first driving member according to actual needs, including but not limited to corresponding drivers and transmission devices. Exemplarily, the first driving member includes a plurality of independent drivers, which are respectively connected to the corresponding opening and closing seats 12 by transmission to realize driving.

[0037] It should be noted that, in the process that the first driving member drives the opening and closing seat 12 to move along the first direction, the opening and closing seat 12 can move in a direction away from the preset axis, and can also move in a direction close to the preset axis.

[0038] The detector 20 is used to detect the target state. Those skilled in the art can set the detector 20 according to actual needs, such as a camera. Exemplarily, the detector 20 can detect continuously or according to a preset time interval. Preferably, the detector 20 is set on the opener 10 and / or the shutter 40 to detect the target plant on the opener seat 12 below it.

[0039] The target state is the plant structure state of the target plant. The plant structure of the target plant includes branches, flowers, etc. During the growth and development process, the plant structure of adjacent plants may be blocked.

[0040] The target state includes an unobstructed state and an obstructed state. In the unobstructed state, the plant structures of the target plant are separated, and the opener 10 does not need to be adjusted. In the obstructed state, at least part of the plant structures of the target plant obstruct each other, and the opener 10 needs to be adjusted.

[0041] Preferably, the YOLOv5 deep learning algorithm can be selected to realize image recognition. YOLOv5 is an efficient deep learning algorithm with strong real-time performance and accuracy, which can effectively realize the rapid and accurate classification of plants. During recognition, the bounding box of the corresponding plant structure is obtained by the algorithm, and the degree of occlusion and intersection of the plant structure is judged by the overlap of two adjacent bounding boxes.

[0042] For example, when the distance between the center points of two adjacent bounding boxes is less than a fixed value, the corresponding target plant is judged to be in an obstructed state. The fixed value can be set to half of the sum of the lengths of the two corresponding bounding boxes multiplied by a ratio value, and the ratio value is set so that when the degree of obstruction of the plant structure is low, it is judged to be unobstructed.

[0043] Reference Figure 4As shown, the controller 30 is electrically connected to the first driving member and the detector 20. The controller 30 is used to control the first driving member to drive the corresponding opening and closing seat 12 to move when the detector 20 detects the blocking state until the target state is switched from the blocking state to the unblocking state.

[0044] During actual use, the opening and closing seat 12 and the target plant arranged on the seat are relatively still. As time goes by and the target plant grows, the plant structure of the target plant changes. When the detector 20 detects that the target plants on two opening and closing seats 12 have plant structures that block each other, the controller 30 controls the first drive member to drive the corresponding opening and closing seat 12 to move, so as to adjust the distance and separate the blocked target plants. In this process, the detector 20 keeps detecting, and when it detects that the corresponding plant structures are separated and no blocking occurs, the first drive member stops driving.

[0045] It can provide sufficient growth space and light for the target plants on the opening and closing seat 12, ensuring that they can thrive and develop. It effectively reduces the difficulty of plant maintenance, greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of plant maintenance, saves the user's time, and provides the user with a convenient and intelligent maintenance experience. In addition, the first driving member can also be controlled by the controller 30, so that each opening and closing seat 12 maintains dynamic movement, thereby presenting a dynamic display effect, providing the user with a unique aesthetic feeling of spring in the garden.

[0046] The intelligent flower-growing machine described in the present invention adjusts the position of the opening and closing seat 12 as the plant structure grows by setting a controller 30. First, it can provide sufficient growth space and light for the corresponding plants to ensure that they can thrive and develop, avoiding the problem of damage caused by excessive crossing of plant structures. Secondly, it effectively reduces the difficulty of plant maintenance, greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of plant maintenance, saves the user's time, and provides the user with a convenient and intelligent maintenance experience. Finally, the adjustable distance structure can present a dynamic display effect when the user needs it, and has high ornamental value and unique beauty.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the intelligent flower-growing machine of the present invention, the first driving component includes a base 111, a transmission component and a first driving motor 115.

[0048] The base 111 is used to install corresponding components and can also be assembled and connected with other components outside or in the machine. The base 111 is set in an annular shape and arranged around a preset axis to better adapt to multiple opening and closing seats 12. Preferably, the base 111 is set in an annular structure.

[0049] The base 111 is provided with mounting supports 1111 and limiting grooves 1112, and there are multiple mounting supports 1111 and multiple limiting grooves 1112. Along the circumferential direction of the base 111, the multiple mounting supports 1111 and the multiple limiting grooves 1112 are arranged alternately in sequence to set corresponding transmission components. Among them, the mounting support 1111 is used to set the transmission gear 114, and the limiting groove 1112 is used to set the transmission rack 113.

[0050] The transmission member includes a transmission internal gear 112 and multiple sets of transmission components. The transmission internal gear 112 is rotatably arranged on the base 111. The transmission internal gear 112 is of an annular structure, and its inner wall surface is provided with multiple meshing teeth arranged in sequence to achieve transmission through the meshing teeth. Those skilled in the art can set the way of rotatably connecting the transmission internal gear 112 and the base 111 according to actual needs. For example, the connection is achieved by setting a bearing.

[0051] Each set of transmission components includes a transmission rack 113 and a transmission gear 114, and both the transmission rack 113 and the transmission gear 114 are provided with meshing teeth. The transmission rack 113 is movably arranged in the limiting groove 1112, and an opening and closing seat 12 is arranged on the transmission rack 113; preferably, the opening and closing seat 12 is arranged in a fan-shaped structure. The transmission gear 114 is rotatably arranged on the mounting support 1111, and the transmission gear 114 meshes with the transmission rack 113 and the transmission internal gear 112 respectively. With the cooperation of multiple sets of transmission components and the transmission internal gear 112, a planetary gear train structure is formed.

[0052] The driving end of the first driving motor 115 is in transmission connection with the transmission member. Those skilled in the art can set the installation position of the first driving motor 115 according to actual needs. Exemplarily, the first driving motor 115 is arranged on the base 111, and the driving end of the first driving motor 115 is in transmission connection with the transmission internal gear 112. Preferably, the first driving motor 115 is arranged as a stepping motor.

[0053] Preferably, the driving end of the first driving motor 115 is in transmission connection with one of the transmission gears 114. During actual use, when the first driving motor 115 is started, its driving end drives the transmission gear 114 connected thereto to rotate. On the one hand, the transmission rack 113 meshing with the transmission gear 114 will slide along the limiting groove 1112. On the other hand, driven by the transmission gear 114, the transmission internal gear 112 will rotate accordingly and drive the remaining transmission gears 114 to rotate, thereby causing the corresponding transmission racks 113 to slide along the corresponding limiting grooves 1112.

[0054] By setting this structure, firstly, the entire opener 10 has a compact structure. Only one motor is required to simultaneously drive multiple opening and closing seats 12, with high space utilization rate, energy saving, and low cost, especially suitable for placing plants at home. Secondly, the gear drive has high transmission accuracy and can well meet the distance adjustment requirements for blocking the plant structure. Finally, when display is needed, under the drive of the first drive motor 115, each opening and closing seat 12 can simultaneously move relatively closer to or farther away from the preset axis, thereby presenting a dynamic display effect, providing the user with the unique aesthetic feeling of "a garden full of spring colors" and having high ornamental value.

[0055] Further, referring to Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the intelligent flower-growing machine of the present invention, a first guiding portion 11121 is provided on the limiting groove 1112, and a second guiding portion 1131 is provided on the transmission rack 113. The second guiding portion 1131 is slidably connected to the first guiding portion 11121.

[0056] Those skilled in the art can set the first guiding portion 11121 and the second guiding portion 1131 according to actual needs. Preferably, the first guiding portion 11121 is set as a guiding groove, and the second guiding portion 1131 is set as a guiding slider. By setting this structure, it can provide guidance for the sliding of the transmission rack 113, effectively improving the stability and reliability of the machine.

[0057] Preferably, limiting blocks are provided at both axial ends of the guiding slider to limit the transmission rack 113, prevent problems such as disengagement of corresponding components during movement, and further improve the stability and reliability of the machine.

[0058] Referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the intelligent flower-growing machine of the present invention, it further includes a light shielder 40 and a light sensor 60. The light shielder 40 is arranged above the opener 10 along the second direction D2. Both the light shielder 40 and the light sensor 60 are electrically connected to the controller 30 to cooperate with the light sensor 60 to achieve light shielding adjustment.

[0059] The light shielder 40 includes a first substrate 41, a second substrate 42, and a plurality of light shielding plates 43. Among them, both the first substrate 41 and the second substrate 42 penetrate along the second direction D2; preferably, both the first substrate 41 and the second substrate 42 are set as annular structures, and the center of the ring passes through the preset axis. The second substrate 42 and the first substrate 41 are arranged at intervals along the second direction D2. The second direction D2 is parallel to the preset axis, that is, it is parallel to the vertical direction.

[0060] A plurality of first guide grooves 411 are sequentially arranged along the circumferential direction on the first substrate 41. The first guide groove 411 includes two ends, namely a first groove end 4111 and a second groove end 4112. The first groove end 4111 is arranged close to the preset axis, and the second groove end 4112 is arranged away from the preset axis.

[0061] A plurality of second guide grooves 421 are sequentially arranged along the circumferential direction on the second substrate 42. The second guide groove 421 includes two ends, namely a third groove end 4211 and a fourth groove end 4212. The third groove end 4211 is arranged close to the preset axis, and the fourth groove end 4212 is arranged away from the preset axis. When observing the two substrates from one side along the direction of the preset axial direction of one of the substrates, the spiral directions of the first guide groove 411 and the second guide groove 421 are opposite. The second substrate 42 is configured to be rotatable around the preset axis; those skilled in the art can set the rotation mode according to actual needs. Preferably, the light shutter 40 further includes a second driving motor 422, and the driving end of the second driving motor 422 is in transmission connection with the second substrate 42 to drive the second substrate 42 to rotate.

[0062] A plurality of light shielding plates 43 are all arranged between the first substrate 41 and the second substrate 42, and the plurality of light shielding plates 43 are arranged around the preset axis. Preferably, each light shielding plate 43 is set to be a sector-like structure and they are spliced with each other. A light transmission opening 44 is arranged between the plurality of light shielding plates 43. The light shielding plate 43 is provided with a first connecting member 431 and a second connecting member 432. The first connecting member 431 is slidably arranged in the corresponding first guide groove 411, and the second connecting member 432 is slidably arranged in the corresponding second guide groove 421.

[0063] The light sensor 60 is used to detect the real-time light intensity value. Exemplarily, the light sensor 60 can be arranged on the opening and closing seat 12. During use, a preset intensity value can be set according to the light intensity requirement of the target plant placed on the opening and closing seat 12.

[0064] When the real-time light intensity value detected by the light sensor 60 is too large, after the controller 30 compares the real-time light intensity value with the preset intensity value and finds that the real-time light intensity value is greater than the preset intensity value, the controller 30 can control the second driving motor 422 to drive the second substrate 42 to rotate in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction. The second substrate 42 rotates to transmit power through the corresponding connecting members of the light shielding plate 43, so that the light shielding plate 43 rotates, and the light transmission opening 44 between the plurality of light shielding plates 43 is reduced.

[0065] Correspondingly, when the real-time light intensity value detected by the light sensor 60 is too small, and the controller 30 compares the real-time light intensity value with the preset intensity value and finds that the real-time light intensity value is less than the preset intensity value, the controller 30 can control the second drive motor 422 to drive the second substrate 42 to rotate in the reverse direction. The second substrate 42 rotates to transmit power through the corresponding connecting parts of the light shielding plate 43, so that the light shielding plate 43 rotates, and the light transmission openings 44 between the plurality of light shielding plates 43 are enlarged.

[0066] Preferably, the light sensor 60 selects the BH1750 sensor. The BH1750 sensor is a digital light intensity sensor integrated circuit for a two-wire serial bus interface. It is internally composed of a photosensitive diode, an operational amplifier, an ADC (analog-to-digital converter) acquisition, a crystal oscillator, etc. The photosensitive diode converts the input optical signal into an electrical signal through the photovoltaic effect. After being amplified by the operational amplifier circuit, the voltage is collected by the ADC, and then converted into a 16-bit binary number through the logic circuit and stored in the internal register. This module has little dependence on the light source, can accurately detect the light intensity for different colors and forms of light, and can also maintain a fairly high accuracy under the influence of temperature changes. This module can measure the light intensity in the range of 0 to 65535 lux (Lux) and directly output data in digital form for easy implementation of accurate detection.

[0067] By setting this structure, the adjustment of the light intensity value can be realized, so as to provide sufficient light for the plants and ensure the healthy growth of the plants.

[0068] Preferably, a rain drop sensor (not shown in the figure) can also be set. The rain drop sensor is electrically connected to the controller 30. When the rain drop sensor detects rain, the controller 30 can control the second drive motor 422 to drive the second substrate 42 to rotate, so that the light transmission openings 44 are reduced.

[0069] Further, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the intelligent flower-growing machine of the present invention, a supplementary light device is further included. The supplementary light device is arranged on the first substrate 41 and is electrically connected to the controller 30. The supplementary light device includes a plurality of supplementary light lamps 51, and the plurality of supplementary light lamps 51 are arranged around a preset axis. It should be noted that when there are a plurality of opening and closing devices 10, the supplementary light device can also be arranged on the corresponding opening and closing devices 10.

[0070] When the light transmission opening 44 is enlarged to the maximum, after a preset time interval, the controller 30 compares the real-time light intensity value with the preset intensity value again. If the real-time light intensity value is still less than the preset intensity value, the supplementary light lamps 51 are controlled to be turned on to supplement light for the target plants.

[0071] By setting this structure, it is possible to further ensure that the plants receive sufficient sunlight and provide a good environment for plant growth.

[0072] Referring to Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the intelligent flower-growing machine of the present invention, a plurality of openers 10 are provided, and the plurality of openers 10 are arranged at intervals in sequence along the second direction D2. By setting this structure, the space in the vertical direction can be fully utilized, so as to set more target plants, improve the ornamental value, save the space in the horizontal direction, and improve the space utilization rate.

[0073] Referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments of the intelligent flower-growing machine of the present invention, it further includes a base 70 and a lifter 72.

[0074] The base 70 is used to carry corresponding components, such as the opener 10, the light-shielding device 40, etc. The base 70 is arranged below the opener 10 along the second direction D2, and a mounting rod 71 is provided on the base 70, and the mounting rod 71 is respectively connected to a plurality of openers 10. When the light-shielding device 40 is provided, the mounting rod 71 is also connected to the light-shielding device 40.

[0075] Preferably, universal wheels 701 are provided on the base 70 to realize the movement and fixation of the machine.

[0076] Preferably, the material of the base 70 is set as a resin material, which has the characteristics of light weight, high strength, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., and at the same time also shows wear resistance and anti-ultraviolet performance, and is very suitable for storing objects, especially water and fertilizers.

[0077] The lifter 72 is arranged in the base 70, and the lifter 72 is used to set the target plant. The lifter 72 includes a lifting state and a contracting state. When in the lifting state, the lifter 72 can lift the target plant. Exemplarily, a plant, such as a small flower tree, is set on the lifter 72; another plant, such as Epipremnum aureum, etc., is set on the opening seat 12.

[0078] Normally, the lifter 72 remains in the contracting state, so that the target plant on it is located below the opener 10 and is separated from another plant. During the display, the opening seat 12 moves along the direction away from the preset axis, so that there is a certain space between the opening seats 12. At this time, the lifter 72 lifts the corresponding plant to the same height as the opener 10, so that the plants on the opener 10 surround the plant on the lifter 72, providing a unique aesthetic feeling of "the moon is surrounded by stars" for the user and having high ornamental value. Of course, it can also reciprocate up and down, cooperate with the reciprocating movement of the opener 10 to present a dynamic display effect, and further improve the viewing effect.

[0079] Those skilled in the art can set a specific lifter 72 according to actual needs. Preferably, the lifter 72 includes a first lift seat 721, a second lift seat 722 and a scissor member. The first lift seat 721 is fixedly connected to the seat body, and the first lift seat 721 is provided with a first slide rail 7211. The second lift seat 722 is arranged above the first lift seat 721 along the second direction D2, and the second lift seat 722 is provided with a second slide rail 7221, and the second slide rail 7221 is parallel to the first slide rail 7211. The scissor member is arranged between the first lift seat 721 and the second lift seat 722, and the scissor member includes a first support rod 7231 and a second support rod 7232; preferably, two of the first support rod 7231 and the second support rod 7232 are provided. One end of the first support rod 7231 is rotatably connected to the first lift seat 721, and the other end is slidably arranged in the second slide rail 7221. The second support rod 7232 is hinged to the middle of the first support rod 7231, one end of the second support rod 7232 is rotatably connected to the second lifting seat 722, and the other end is slidably arranged in the first slide rail 7211. When the corresponding support rod slides in the slide rail, lifting is realized.

[0080] Preferably, the jacking device 72 further includes a third drive motor 73, the third drive motor 73 is electrically connected to the controller 30, and the driving end of the third drive motor 73 is transmission-connected to the second support rod 7232. After the controller 30 receives the control signal, it can control the third drive motor 73 to drive the second support rod 7232, so that the second support rod 7232 and the first support rod 7231 move, thereby achieving a lifting or lowering action. By setting this structure, while being able to achieve lifting and lowering, it has high stability.

[0081] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments of the intelligent flower-growing machine described in the present invention, a water tank 74 is provided on the base 70, and the water tank 74 is used to store water. A water delivery device 741 is provided in the water tank 74, and the water delivery device 741 is electrically connected to the controller 30. The machine also includes a humidity sensor 75, and the humidity sensor 75 is electrically connected to the controller 30. The humidity sensor 75 is used to detect the soil moisture and / or the ambient temperature and humidity of the target plant to output a water replenishment signal. Preferably, the water replenishment signal includes whether the target plant is short of water, and in the case of water shortage, the amount of water required. The controller 30 is used to receive the water replenishment signal and control the water delivery device 741 to open to replenish water for the target plant.

[0082] Preferably, the humidity sensor 75 includes a DHT11 digital temperature and humidity sensor and a YL-69 capacitive soil humidity sensor to detect the ambient temperature and humidity, and the soil humidity, respectively. Preferably, a storage box is also provided on the base 70 for storing fertilizer.

[0083] On the other hand, refer to Figure 11As shown, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a control method based on the intelligent flower cultivation machine described in any of the above embodiments. The control method includes:

[0084] Detect the target state through the detector 20. Those skilled in the art can set the detector 20 according to actual needs, such as a camera, etc. Exemplarily, the detector 20 can continuously detect or detect according to a preset time interval.

[0085] Among them, the target state is the plant structure state of the target plant on the corresponding opening and closing seat 12. The plant structure of the target plant includes branches, flowers, etc. During the growth and development process, the plant structures of adjacent plants may be blocked.

[0086] The target state includes an unblocked state and a blocked state. In the case of the unblocked state, the plant structures of the target plant are separated, and at this time, there is no need to use the opener 10 for adjustment. In the case of the blocked state, at least part of the plant structures of the target plant are blocked from each other, and at this time, it is necessary to use the opener 10 for adjustment.

[0087] Preferably, the YOLOv5 deep learning algorithm can be selected to implement image recognition. YOLOv5 is an efficient deep learning algorithm with strong real-time performance and accuracy, and can effectively achieve fast and accurate classification of plants. During recognition, the boundary boxes of the corresponding plant structures are obtained through the algorithm, and the degree of occlusion and intersection of the plant structures are judged by the overlap degree of two adjacent boundary boxes.

[0088] Exemplarily, when the distance between the center points of two adjacent boundary boxes is less than a certain value, it is judged that the corresponding target plant is in a blocked state. This certain value can be set to half of the sum of the lengths of the corresponding two boundary boxes multiplied by a proportional value, and the setting of this proportional value is to judge as unblocked when the degree of occlusion of the plant structure is relatively low.

[0089] When the detector 20 detects the blocked state, the controller 30 controls the first driving member to drive the opening and closing seat 12 to move until the target state switches from the blocked state to the unblocked state. It can provide sufficient growth space and light for the target plant provided on the opening and closing seat 12, ensuring its healthy growth and development. It effectively reduces the difficulty of plant maintenance, greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of plant maintenance, saves the user's time, and provides a convenient and intelligent maintenance experience for the user.

[0090] In some embodiments, the control method described in the present invention further includes:

[0091] Obtain the real-time light intensity value through the light sensor 60.

[0092] The controller 30 compares the preset intensity value with the real-time light intensity value. The preset intensity value is a preset value that can be set according to actual needs.

[0093] When the real-time light intensity value is greater than or equal to the preset intensity value, the controller 30 controls the second substrate 42 to rotate and drives the light-shielding plate 43 to rotate, so as to narrow the light-transmitting opening 44 of the light-shielding plate 43.

[0094] When the real-time light intensity value is less than the preset intensity value, the controller 30 controls the second substrate 42 to rotate and drives the light-shielding plate 43 to rotate, so as to increase the light-transmitting opening 44. The adjustment of the light intensity value can be realized, so as to provide sufficient light for plants and ensure the healthy growth of plants.

[0095] Working principle:

[0096] The corresponding target plants are respectively placed on the opening and closing seats 12 and the lifting device 72. As time goes by and the target plants grow, the plant structures of the target plants change. When the detector 20 detects that the plant structures of the target plants on two certain opening and closing seats 12 block each other, the controller 30 controls the first driving member to drive the corresponding opening and closing seat 12 to move, so as to adjust the distance and separate the blocked target plants.

[0097] Among them, the first driving motor 115 starts, and its driving end drives the transmission gear 114 connected thereto to rotate. On the one hand, the transmission rack 113 meshing with the transmission gear 114 slides along the limit groove 1112; on the other hand, driven by the transmission gear 114, the transmission internal gear 112 rotates accordingly, and drives the other transmission gears 114 to rotate, so as to make the corresponding transmission racks 113 slide along the corresponding limit grooves 1112, so as to realize the movement of the opening and closing seat 12.

[0098] During the movement of the opening and closing seat 12, the detector 20 keeps detecting. When it detects that the corresponding plant structures are separated and not blocked, the first driving member stops driving.

[0099] In daily life, the light sensor 60 can detect the real-time light intensity value. When the real-time light intensity value detected by the light sensor 60 is too large and greater than the preset intensity value, the controller 30 can control the second driving motor 422 to drive the second substrate 42 to rotate, so as to transmit power through the corresponding connecting member of the light-shielding plate 43, make the light-shielding plate 43 rotate, and make the light-transmitting opening 44 between the multiple light-shielding plates 43 narrow. On the contrary, the light-transmitting opening 44 is enlarged. If the light-transmitting opening 44 is enlarged to the maximum and the real-time light intensity value is still less than the preset intensity value after a preset time interval, the supplementary light lamp 51 is controlled to be turned on to supplement light for the target plants.

[0100] In the case where display is required, the first drive motor 115 and the third drive motor 73 work simultaneously, so that the plants on the opening and closing seat 12 and the lifter 72 present corresponding static or dynamic display effects, providing a good viewing effect for users.
