[0027] The base 1 is provided with a fertilizer bin 41 and a liquid storage bin 42; the column 2 is provided with a first limit plate 51; the first limit plate 51 is provided with a pipe 53 that slides in the horizontal direction; the two ends of the pipe 53 are respectively provided with a first piston 43 and a second piston 44; the first piston 43 is sealingly movable in the fertilizer bin 41; the second piston 44 is sealingly movable in the liquid storage bin 42; the first piston 43 is penetrated by a first feed port 45; the second piston 44 is penetrated by a second feed port 46; the two ends of the pipe 53 are respectively provided with a first one-way valve 54 and a second one-way valve 55; a transmission pipe 56 is provided between the pipe 53 and the tray 3; the column 2 is provided with a driving mechanism.

[0028] Specifically, in the intelligent mixing home planting box described in this embodiment, when the driving mechanism drives the pipeline 53 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction, the fertilizer in the fertilizer bin 41 and the nutrient solution in the liquid storage bin 42 can be extracted into the pipeline 53 through the first piston 43 and the second piston 44, and then transmitted to the tray 3 through the transmission pipe 56, thereby supplying fertilizer and nutrient solution to the plants.

[0029] In this embodiment of the smart mixing home planter, the upright column 2 is provided with a second limit plate 52; the first limit plate 51 and the second limit plate 52 are arranged parallel to each other; and the pipe 53 is arranged to slide horizontally between the first limit plate 51 and the second limit plate 52. This arrangement enables the pipe 53 to reciprocate stably.

[0030] This embodiment is a smart mixing home planting box, the driving mechanism includes a motor 6 arranged on the top of the column 2; the output end of the motor 6 is connected to the first pulley 61 and the first slider 62; the middle part of the pipe 53 is provided with a boss 63; the boss 63 is rotatably connected to the second slider 64; a rocker rod 65 is provided between the first slider 62 and the second slider 64. In this embodiment of a smart mixing home planting box, a third limiting plate 71 is provided between the column 2 and the first pulley 61 and the first limiting plate 51; a fourth limiting plate 72 is provided between the column 2 and the first pulley 61 and the second limiting plate 52; an adjustment rod 73 is provided between the third limiting plate 71 and the fourth limiting plate 72, sliding horizontally; an adjustment frame 74 is provided in the middle of the adjustment rod 73; the adjustment frame 74 has an adjustment slot 75; an adjustment block 76 is provided in the adjustment slot 75 for lifting and lowering movement; the adjustment block 76 is hinged to the middle of the rocker 65; the first slider 62 is slidably mounted on the top of the rocker 65; and the second slider 64 is slidably mounted on the bottom of the rocker 65. In this embodiment of a smart mixing home planting box, a connecting rod 32 is provided between the tray 3 and the adjustment block 76; and a return spring 77 is provided between the adjustment block 76 and the top of the adjustment slot 75. In this embodiment, a smart mixing home planting box is provided with a first resistance sensing column 78 at one end of the adjustment frame 74; a second resistance sensing column 79 is provided at the other end of the adjustment frame 74; the first resistance sensing column 78 is used to abut against the third limit plate 71; the second resistance sensing column 79 is used to abut against the fourth limit plate 72.

[0031] Specifically, in the smart mixing home planting box described in this embodiment, when the fertilizer and nutrient solution in the tray 3 are sufficient, the spring 11 is compressed downward, and the tray 3 drives the adjustment block 76 through the connecting rod 32 to overcome the action of the reset spring 77 and move to the bottom of the adjustment groove 75. At this time, since the positions of the first sliding block and the second sliding block in the height direction cannot be changed, the connecting rod 32 moves to the bottom with the adjustment block 76, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 In the first state shown, the distance between the adjustment block 76 and the second slider 64 is the smallest; when the motor 6 drives the connecting rod 32 to swing, when the first resisting sensing column 78 abuts against the third limit plate 71, the motor 6 moves in the opposite direction until the second resisting sensing column 79 abuts against the fourth limit plate 72, and the motor 6 moves in the opposite direction again, thereby causing the adjustment frame 74 to reciprocate; and since the stroke of the adjustment frame 74 is fixed and the distance between the adjustment block 76 and the second slider 64 is the smallest, the stroke of the boss 63 is the smallest at this time, so the stroke of the first piston 43 and the second piston 44 is the smallest, that is, when the fertilizer and nutrient solution in the tray 3 are sufficient, the amount of fertilizer and nutrient solution delivered to the tray 3 is also reduced accordingly.

[0032] When the fertilizer and nutrient solution in the tray 3 decrease, Figure 6 In the second state shown, under the action of the spring 11 and the return spring 77, the adjustment block 76 gradually moves upward, so that the distance between the adjustment block 76 and the second slider 64 increases. Since the positions of the first sliding block and the second sliding block in the height direction cannot be changed, the connecting rod 32 gradually moves upward with the adjustment block 76; when the motor 6 drives the connecting rod 32 to swing, when the first resisting sensing column 78 abuts against the third limit plate 71, the motor 6 moves in the opposite direction until the second resisting sensing column 79 abuts against the fourth limit plate 72, the motor 6 moves in the opposite direction again, thereby causing the adjustment frame 74 to reciprocate; and since the stroke of the adjustment frame 74 is fixed, the distance between the adjustment block 76 and the second slider 64 increases, so that the stroke of the boss 63 increases, so the stroke of the first piston 43 and the second piston 44 increases, that is, when the fertilizer and nutrient solution in the tray 3 decrease, the amount of fertilizer and nutrient solution delivered to the tray 3 also increases accordingly.

[0033] Through the above-mentioned configuration, this embodiment can intelligently adjust the water-fertilizer mixture ratio for irrigation according to the actual situation of the planting unit; it saves costs and resources and improves the practicality and flexibility of the planting box.

[0034] In this embodiment of the smart mixing home planting box, a first tension spring 47 is provided between the first piston 43 and the fertilizer bin 41; a second tension spring 48 is provided between the second piston 44 and the liquid storage bin 42. Specifically, the above arrangement enables a stable supply of fertilizer and nutrient solution to the opposite pipe 53.

[0035] In this embodiment, a smart mixing home planter is provided. A large gear 81 is rotatably mounted in the center of the tray 3. Multiple small gears 82 are disposed within the tray 3 along the circumference of the large gear 81. The large gear 81 meshes with the small gears 82. A culture pot 83 is disposed within the small gear 82. In this embodiment, a smart mixing home planter is provided. A worm 91 and a one-way gear 92 are disposed within the base 1. The one-way gear 92 is coaxially coupled to the large gear 81. A second pulley 93 is rotatably mounted on the column 2. A synchronous belt 94 is disposed between the first pulley 61 and the second pulley 93. The worm 91 is coaxially coupled to the second pulley 93. The worm 91 meshes with the one-way gear 92.

[0036] Specifically, when the first pulley 61 rotates back and forth, the synchronous belt 94 drives the second pulley 93 to rotate back and forth, and the second pulley 93 drives the one-way gear 92 to rotate through the worm 91. Since the one-way gear 92 can only rotate in one direction, the one-way gear 92 can drive the large gear 81 to rotate in one direction, so that the plants in the culture pot 83 can continuously rotate in one direction, so that the plants can evenly receive the light of the fill light, thereby ensuring the good growth of the green plants.

[0037] In the smart mixing home planting box of this embodiment, the upright column 2 is provided with an illumination lamp 21 on the top of the tray 3. The above arrangement can provide light for the growth of plants.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
