[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but the implementation scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, an energy-saving self-adjusting household planting box described in this embodiment includes a planting box body 1, the planting box body 1 is provided with a window and a groove connected to the window, a culture tray 2 is arranged in the groove, and the culture tray 2 stores the culture solution required for plant growth during cultivation, and the culture tray 2 is provided with a first planting unit 3 and a second planting unit 4 is slidably provided;

[0029] The first planting unit 3 and the second planting unit 4 both include a supporting bracket 10 having a Y-shaped groove 101 extending therethrough, a scissor-type carrier 20 being provided in the Y-shaped groove 101 for lifting, and two sides of the scissor-type carrier 20 being in contact with the groove wall of the Y-shaped groove 101;

[0030] A transmission mechanism is connected between the scissor-type support frame 20 of the first planting unit 3 and the supporting frame 10 of the second planting unit 4. When the scissor-type support frame 20 of the first planting unit 3 moves downward, the transmission mechanism can drive the second planting unit 4 to slide away from the first planting unit 3.

[0031] Specifically, when the family planting box of this embodiment is actually used, plant seeds or seedlings are planted on the scissor-type support frame 20, and a proper amount of mixed water and business liquid are added to the culture tray 2 to form a culture solution. At the beginning of planting, the distance between the first planting unit 3 and the second planting unit 4 is the smallest, and the scissor-type support frame 20 floats on the surface of the culture solution, and the buoyancy generated by the culture solution is used to provide support for the scissor-type support frame 20; as the plant absorbs the culture solution in the culture tray 2 and continues to grow and develop, its weight continues to increase, causing the scissor-type support frame 20 to gradually sink in the Y-shaped groove 101, and the scissor-type support frame 20 gradually sinks in the Y-shaped groove 101. During the sinking process of the fork-type supporting frame 20, the scissors-type supporting frame 20 abuts against the groove wall of the Y-shaped groove 101, so that the Y-shaped groove 101 generates an extrusion force on the scissors-type supporting frame 20, and the scissors-type supporting frame 20 performs a shearing movement, thereby increasing the distance between adjacent plants on the scissors-type supporting frame 20. At the same time, during the downward movement of the scissors-type supporting frame 20 of the first planting unit 3, the transmission mechanism drives the second planting unit 4 to slide relative to the supporting bracket 10, so that the distance between the first planting unit 3 and the second planting unit 4 is increased, thereby providing a suitable growth space for the grown plants.

[0032] This embodiment utilizes the weight changes of plants during their growth and development. By setting a scissor-type support frame 20 to cooperate with the Y-shaped groove 101, and setting a transmission mechanism between the scissor-type support frame 20 of the first planting unit 3 and the supporting support of the second planting unit 4, the distance between plants is automatically increased according to the weight gain of the plants. No manual adjustment is required, so that the plants can be properly supplemented with light, and the structure is more convenient to use.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in the energy-saving self-adjusting household planting box described in this embodiment, in some embodiments, the scissor-type supporting frame 20 is composed of a plurality of scissor-type brackets 201 hinged in sequence, and a planting tray 30 is provided at the center of each scissor-type bracket 201.

[0034] Specifically, after the weight of the plant increases, the scissor-type carrier frame 20 sinks along the trajectory of the Y-shaped groove 101, so that each scissor bracket 201 is squeezed by the Y-shaped groove 101, and the scissor bracket 201 performs a scissor motion. The distance between the center points of two adjacent scissor brackets 201 increases, thereby increasing the distance between two adjacent planting trays 30. During the downward movement and scissor motion of the scissor bracket 201, the transmission mechanism drives the second planting unit 4 to slide away from the first planting unit 3, thereby increasing the distance between the second planting unit 4 and the first planting unit 3 to provide sufficient growth space.

[0035] like Figures 3 to 7 As shown, preferably, a center hole is provided at the center of the scissor bracket 201, and the planting tray 30 is disassembled and sleeved in the center hole for easy taking and placing operations.

[0036] like Figures 2 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the energy-saving self-adjusting home planting box described in this embodiment, the planting tray 30 located at the center of the scissor-type carrier 20 is provided with a first guide shaft 301, and the bottom of the supporting bracket 10 is correspondingly provided with a first guide cylinder 102, and the first guide shaft 301 is slidably inserted into the first guide cylinder 102. In this embodiment, the first guide cylinder 102 is provided to cooperate with the first guide shaft 301, thereby providing a guide limit for the scissor-type carrier 20, so that the movement of the scissor-type carrier 20 is more stable.

[0037] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in the energy-saving self-adjusting household planting box described in this embodiment, in some embodiments, the planting trays 30 at both ends of the scissor-type carrier 20 of the first planting unit 3 are respectively provided with second guide shafts 302;

[0038] An I-shaped slide rail 5 is provided in the culture tray 2; the transmission mechanism includes a first slider 601 slidably connected to the longitudinal arm of the slide rail 5 and a second slider 602 slidably connected to the transverse arm of the slide rail 5, the first slider 601 and the second slider 602 are hinged with a connecting rod 603, the first slider 601 is provided with a second guide cylinder 604, the second guide shaft 302 is slidably inserted into the second guide cylinder 604, and the second slider 602 is fixedly connected to the supporting bracket 10 of the second planting unit 4.

[0039] Specifically, when the scissors bracket 201 performs a scissors motion, the distance between two adjacent planting trays 30 increases, that is, the planting trays 30 are displaced along with the scissors motion of the scissors bracket 201. At this time, the planting trays 30 located at both ends of the scissors-type carrier 20 cooperate with the second guide shaft 302 and the second guide cylinder 604 to push the first slider 601 to slide along the longitudinal arm of the slide rail 5. The first slider 601 pushes the second slider 602 to slide in a direction away from the first planting unit 3 through the connecting rod 603, thereby increasing the distance between the first planting unit 3 and the second planting unit 4 synchronously.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the energy-saving self-adjusting home planting box described in this embodiment, the two sides of the culture tray 2 are respectively provided with slide grooves 21 corresponding to the second planting unit 4, and the two ends of the supporting bracket 10 of the second planting unit 4 are provided with latches 103, and the latches 103 are movably inserted into the slide grooves 21. In this embodiment, the slide grooves 21 and the latches 103 are provided to cooperate, so as to limit and guide the second planting unit 4, so that the sliding of the second planting unit 4 is more stable.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in some embodiments of the energy-saving self-adjusting home planting box described in this embodiment, the number of the second planting units 4 is two, and the two second planting units 4 are distributed on both sides of the first planting unit 3. This arrangement can increase the plant planting capacity.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the energy-saving self-adjusting household planting box described in this embodiment, in some embodiments, the planting box body 1 is provided with a fill light 11 just above the culture tray 2, and the planting box body 1 is also provided with a controller 12 electrically connected to the fill light 11 and a shooting and identification unit 13 electrically connected to the controller 12, and the shooting and identification unit 13 is used to shoot and identify the range of the planting area formed by the first planting unit 3 and the second planting unit 4. Specifically, the shooting and identification unit 13 is a camera, which shoots an image of the planting area formed by the first planting unit 3 and the second planting unit 4, and uploads the image to the controller 12, and the controller 12 processes the image to determine the range of the planting area; the controller 12 processes the image using existing technology.

[0043] In actual use, the planting area formed by the first planting unit 3 and the second planting unit 4 is photographed and identified by the shooting and identification unit 13 to determine the actual planting area range, and the feedback is sent to the controller 12. The controller 12 controls the fill light 11 to work according to the determined planting area range, so that the illumination area of ​​the fill light 11 matches the actual planting area range; when the distance between the first planting unit 3 and the second planting unit 4 becomes larger, the shooting and identification unit 13 shoots and identifies the planting area formed by the first planting unit 3 and the second planting unit 4, so that the current planting area range is expanded, and the feedback is sent to the controller 12. In this way, the controller 12 can control the fill light 11 to turn on more light during the gradual growth of the plant, meet the different lighting requirements of the plant at different growth stages, and maximize the lighting efficiency, thereby achieving energy-saving effects, and realizing that the effective lighting of the fill light 11 changes with the actual planting area range, so as to maximize the energy efficiency of the planting box.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the energy-saving self-adjusting home planting box described in this embodiment, a water injection pipe 14 and a water outlet pipe 15 connected to the culture tray 2 are respectively provided at both ends of the planting box body 1. In this embodiment, by providing the water injection pipe 14 and the water outlet pipe 15, the culture solution can be added to the culture tray 2 and the culture solution in the culture tray 2 can be easily replaced, and the structure is more convenient to use.

[0045] like Figure 1As shown, in the energy-saving self-adjusting home planting box described in this embodiment, in some embodiments, a transparent material viewing cover 16 is embedded in the side wall of the planting box body 1. During the planting process, the water level of the culture solution in the culture tray 2 can be observed through the viewing cover 16 so as to replenish the culture solution in real time; at the same time, the initial planting height can be controlled by controlling the total amount of culture solution added according to the initial weight difference of different plants.

[0046] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the structure, characteristics and principles described in the scope of the patent application of the present invention are included in the protection scope of the patent application of the present invention.
