[0024] A sun-facing device includes a wall 1, a temperature sensor 2702, and a rotating base 2703. The temperature sensor 2702 is located on the upper side of the wall 1. There are two temperature sensors 2702, which are respectively located on the upper sides of the wall 1. The rotating base 2703 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the wall 1. An electromagnet 2704 is provided on each side of the bottom of the wall 1. A magnet 2705 is provided on the lower side of the electromagnet 2704. The angle of the wall is controlled by the change of the temperature sensor, so that the plants can be evenly exposed to sunlight.

[0025] Specifically, a rotary bearing 2701 is rotatably connected between the temperature sensor 2702 and the wall 1.

[0026] Specifically, the temperature sensor 2702 is electrically connected to the electromagnet 2704. When the temperature of the left temperature sensor 2702 is higher, the left electromagnet 2704 is energized; when the temperature of the right temperature sensor 2702 is higher, the right electromagnet 2704 is energized. When the temperatures of the two temperature sensors 2702 are the same, the two electromagnets 2704 are simultaneously de-energized. The sun-facing device is organically integrated with the wall. The temperature on the side of the wall with sufficient sunlight is higher than that on the other side. The switch of the electromagnet can control the wall to turn to the side with sufficient sunlight, ensuring that the plants can fully contact the sunlight.

[0027] Specifically, the present invention provides a technical solution: a green wall, including a wall 1, the front wall of the wall 1 is used for planting green plants, a first mounting groove 101 is provided at the top of the front wall of the wall 1, and first sliding grooves 2 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the first mounting groove 101 on the inner wall of the wall 1. A shielding plate 3 located in the first mounting groove 101 is slidably connected in the two first sliding grooves 2. A driving mechanism is provided on the rear side of the shielding plate 3, and the driving mechanism is used to drive the shielding plate 3 to move forward to shield the green plants.

[0028] The drive mechanism includes a cylinder 4, which is fixedly connected to the rear side wall of the wall 1 via an L-shaped mounting plate. A fixing plate 5 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder 4, and the fixing plate 5 is connected to the baffle plate 3.

[0029] When the green wall of the present invention is in use, if a heavy rainstorm occurs, the cylinder 4 will automatically start and extend forward. The cylinder 4 will drive the shielding plate 3 to move forward in the first sliding groove 2 through the fixing plate 5, so that the shielding plate 3 extends to the outside of the wall 1. The shielding plate 3 can shield the green plants planted on the front wall of the wall 1, so that rainwater will not fall on the green plants and can protect the green plants. At the same time, placing the shielding plate 3 inside the wall 1 can avoid the shielding plate 3 affecting the aesthetics of the green wall.

[0030] Specifically, the first chute 2 is rectangular in shape, the rear end of the shielding plate 3 is slidably connected to the vertical direction of the fixed plate 5, a triangular top block 6 is fixedly connected to the wall 1 at the bottom of the inner wall of the first mounting groove 101, the triangular top block 6 is located in front of the shielding plate 3 and is used to drive the front end of the shielding plate 3 to flip, a second mounting groove 7 is provided below the first mounting groove 101 and is opened inside the wall 1, a water collection tank 8 is fixedly connected in the second mounting groove 7, a float plate 9 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the water collection tank 8 in the vertical direction, a first sliding rod 10 located above the float plate 9 is slidably connected to the front inner wall of the water collection tank 8 in the vertical direction, the first sliding rod 10 is located below the front end of the shielding plate 3, a water supply mechanism is provided in the water collection tank 8, the water supply mechanism is used to make the water in the water collection tank 8 flow into the roots of the green plants inside the wall 1 when the shielding plate 3 moves backward;

[0031] The water supply mechanism includes a second chute 11 and several second water supply holes 20. The second chute 11 is located on the top front side of the water collection tank 8. A slide plate 26 is slidably connected to the second chute 11 in the vertical direction. Several first water supply holes 12 are arranged in an array and penetrate the front and rear side walls of the slide plate 26. A first push rod 13 is provided on the rear side of the slide plate 26. The first push rod 13 is slidably connected to the first slide rod 10 in the front-rear direction. A first spring 14 for resetting is fixedly connected to the first push rod 13. A first push block 15 is fixedly connected to the front inner wall of the water collection tank 8 above the first push rod 13. A first connecting rod 16 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the rear side wall of 26. A slide block 17 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the first connecting rod 16. The slide block 17 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the water collection tank 8 in the front-rear direction. A second connecting rod 18 located behind the first connecting rod 16 is rotatably connected to the slide block 17. A second sliding rod 19 is rotatably connected to the top of the second connecting rod 18. The second sliding rod 19 is slidably connected to the bottom of the water collection tank 8 in the vertical direction. The top surface of the second sliding rod 19 is in contact with the top surface of the float plate 9. Several second water supply holes 20 are opened on the front wall of the water collection tank 8. The second water supply holes 20 can be connected to the first water supply hole 12.

[0032] During operation, the above-described scheme works as follows: after the cylinder 4 moves the baffle 3 forward until it contacts the inclined surface of the triangular apex block 6, the bottom surface of the baffle 3 slides upward along the inclined surface of the triangular apex block 6. At this time, the baffle 3 rotates upward around the pivot axis within the first slide groove 2. After the baffle 3 slides forward to the very front of the bottom of the first slide groove 2, the cylinder 4 stops working. At this point, the baffle 3 tilts at a certain angle, and its rear end is directly above the water collection tank 8, falling into the water. Rainwater on the baffle plate 3 will slide down the inclined baffle plate 3 into the water collection tank 8, and then fall from the float plate 9 to the bottom of the water collection tank 8. After the rainwater enters the water collection tank 8, the water level will slowly rise. After the water level reaches the bottom surface of the float plate 9, the water level will move the float plate 9 upward together. When the float plate 9 moves upward and contacts the first sliding rod 10, the float plate 9 will move the first sliding rod 10 upward, and the first sliding rod 10 will move the first push rod 13 upward together. After the first spring 14, which is in a compressed state, moves the first push rod 13 forward, the bottom surface of the first push rod 13 moves to the top surface of the slide plate 26. At this time, the water level in the water collection tank 8 reaches a certain height. When the first slide rod 10 moves upward, it will push the rear end of the baffle plate 3 to slide upward in the vertical groove in front of the first slide chute 2. The rear end of the baffle plate 3 will slide upward on the fixed plate 5 at the same time until the rear end of the baffle plate 3 moves upward to the highest point of the triangular top block 6. At this time, the baffle plate 3 begins to tilt outward from the wall 1 and slides upward to the top of the vertical groove of the first slide chute 2. The rainwater will no longer slide from the baffle plate 3 into the water collection tank 8. The rainwater will slide down the outward tilting baffle plate 3 to the outside of the green plants, which can ensure that the rainwater will not damage the green plants. After the rain stops, the cylinder 4 will automatically drive the baffle plate 3 to move backward through the fixed plate 5. The baffle plate 3 will move backward at the top of the first slide chute 2.The front end of the baffle plate 3 presses down on the first sliding rod 10, causing the first sliding rod 10 to move the first push rod 13 downwards together. After the bottom surface of the first push rod 13 is in contact with the top surface of the sliding plate 26, the first push rod 13 will move the sliding plate 26 downwards. After the sliding plate 26 moves downwards for a certain distance, the first water inlet hole 12 on the sliding plate 26 will align with the second water inlet hole 20 on the front wall of the water collection tank 8. At this time, the first push rod 13 will move backwards under the action of the first push block 15 to a position offset from the sliding plate 26. After that, the sliding plate 26 will stop at the position where the first water inlet hole 12 and the second water inlet hole 20 align. Then, the rainwater in the water collection tank 8 will slowly flow into the wall from the second water inlet hole 20 and the first water inlet hole 12. At the root of the green plant, after all the rainwater in the water collection tank 8 has slowly flowed out, the float 9 returns to its initial position. Just before returning to its initial position, the float 9 contacts the top surface of the second sliding rod 19. As the float 9 falls downwards, it causes the second sliding rod 19 to move downwards as well. The second sliding rod 19, through the second connecting rod 18, causes the sliding seat 17 to move forward. The sliding seat 17, through the first connecting rod 16, causes the sliding plate 26 to move upwards back to its initial position, thus misaligning the first water inlet 12 and the second water inlet 20. Through the arrangement of the water collection tank 8 and the triangular apex block 6, this invention allows the triangular apex block 6 to act on the shielding plate 3 when it moves forward to shield the green plant, causing the shielding plate 3 to tilt upwards. When rainwater falls onto the top surface of the tilted shield 3, it slides down the shield 3 into the water collection tank 8, allowing the water collection tank 8 to collect the rainwater. Through the arrangement of the float 9 and the first sliding rod 10, when the water level in the water collection tank 8 reaches a certain height, the float 9 drives the first sliding rod 10 upwards, causing the first sliding rod 10 to drive the rear end of the shield 3 upwards, tilting the shield 3 towards the front and lower part of the wall 1, preventing rainwater from falling from the shield 3 into the water collection tank 8. Simultaneously, through the arrangement of the first push rod 13 and the sliding plate 26, after the rain stops, the shield 3 drives the first sliding rod 10 and the first push rod 13 downwards, causing the first push rod 13 to drive the sliding plate 26 downwards as well, thus preventing rainwater from falling from the shield 3 into the water collection tank 8. The first water inlet hole 12 and the second water inlet hole 20 are connected, and the rainwater collected in the water collection tank 8 can slowly flow from the first water inlet hole 12 and the second water inlet hole 20 into the roots of the green plants inside the wall 1, which can serve to irrigate the green plants and make better use of rainwater. At the same time, when the initial rainwater enters the water collection tank 8, the first water inlet hole 12 and the second water inlet hole 20 are staggered to prevent the rainwater entering the water collection tank 8 from flowing directly into the roots of the green plants. This can prevent the roots of the green plants from dying due to excessive water accumulation, reduce the frequency of watering, better protect the green plants, and greatly increase their lifespan.

[0033] Specifically, the first water inlet hole 12 and the second water inlet hole 20 are both arranged at an angle, and the angles of the first water inlet hole 12 and the second water inlet hole 20 are the same; by setting the first water inlet hole 12 and the second water inlet hole 20 as angled holes, the rainwater collected in the water collection tank 8 can flow into the roots and stems of the green plants more effectively.

[0034] Specifically, the inner walls of the left and right sides of the wall 1 are symmetrically provided with third slide grooves 21 located inside the first slide groove 2. Each of the third slide grooves 21 is slidably connected to a limiting block 22 in the front-back direction. Each limiting block 22 is fixedly connected to a first gas spring 23 for its reset. The front end of the limiting block 22 is located at the top of the vertical groove at the front side of the first slide groove 2. When this solution is in use, when the baffle plate 3 slides upward in the vertical groove at the front end of the first slide groove 2, it will drive the limiting block 22 to slide backward in the third slide groove 21. The limiting block 22 will compress the first gas spring 23. After the baffle plate 3 moves upward and is offset from the limiting block 22, the limiting block 22 will move forward under the elastic force of the first gas spring 23 and move below the baffle plate 3. The limiting block 22 will restrict the baffle plate 3 above it, so that when the baffle plate 3 moves backward, it must slide backward from the top of the first slide groove 2. This can ensure that the invention works more accurately when in use.

[0035] Specifically, the limiting block 22 is trapezoidal in shape.

[0036] Specifically, a guide plate 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the float 9. The guide plate 24 allows rainwater falling to the top of the float 9 to fall more effectively to the bottom of the water collection tank 8.

[0037] Specifically, the deflector 24 is triangular in shape.

[0038] Specifically, a first inclined surface 25 is provided at the bottom of the front wall of the baffle plate 3. The first inclined surface 25 ensures that the triangular apex 6 will not interfere with the forward movement of the baffle plate 3 when it comes into contact with the triangular apex 6.

[0039] The sun-facing device is organically integrated with the wall. The temperature on the side of the wall with more sunlight is higher than that on the other side. The wall can be turned to the side with more sunlight by the switch of the electromagnet, ensuring that the plants can fully contact the sunlight.
