Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of municipal management, and in particular relates to an integrated control and management system for municipal flower boxes. Background Art
[0002] In the process of urban greening and beautification, municipal flower boxes, as an important landscape facility, are widely used in public places such as streets, parks, and squares. Municipal flower boxes not only improve the beauty of the city, but also play an important role in improving air quality, regulating climate, and providing leisure space. With the acceleration of urbanization and the improvement of citizens' requirements for living environment, the management and maintenance of municipal flower boxes have become increasingly important. This requires an efficient integrated control and management system to realize the intelligent management of municipal flower boxes.
[0003] Although existing technologies have made some progress in the management of municipal flower boxes, there are still many shortcomings. First, traditional management methods often rely on manual inspections and manual records. This method is not only inefficient, but also prone to omissions and errors. In a busy urban environment, managers may not be able to detect changes in the growth status of plants in the flower boxes, soil moisture, and other environmental factors in time, which may affect the growth of plants and even cause death. This passive management model cannot meet the requirements of modern cities for efficient and timely management of green facilities.
[0004] Existing technologies have limited capabilities in data collection and monitoring. Many traditional flower box management systems lack real-time monitoring of environmental parameters such as soil moisture, temperature, and light, and often rely on experience to judge the growth needs of plants. This approach not only lacks scientific basis, but also leads to a waste of resources. For example, managers may over-water or over-fertilize without data support, resulting in a waste of water resources and fertilizers, which may also have a negative impact on the health of plants.
[0005] Existing management systems have deficiencies in information transmission and feedback mechanisms. Many traditional systems cannot be linked with other urban management systems, such as weather forecasts and traffic management, which limits the level of intelligence of the system. For example, when extreme weather (such as heavy rain or high temperatures) occurs, the management system cannot adjust the management strategy of the flower boxes in time, resulting in damage to the plants. In addition, due to the lack of a real-time information sharing mechanism, managers cannot quickly obtain the status of each flower box, which affects the timeliness and accuracy of decision-making.
[0006] Existing technologies also have problems in user experience and interface design. Many traditional management systems have complex operation interfaces, which are not intuitive enough for non-professionals to use, increasing the difficulty of operation. This poor user experience makes it easy for managers to be confused when using the system, thus affecting work efficiency.
[0007] Safety and sustainability are also issues that need to be improved in existing technologies. Many traditional municipal flower box management systems fail to take safety precautions into account, especially when implementing automated irrigation and fertilization, and lack safety monitoring and emergency response mechanisms for equipment. This may not only cause damage to the equipment, but also pose safety hazards to the surrounding environment and personnel. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive control and management system for municipal flower boxes. Summary of the invention
[0008] The present invention proposes an integrated control and management system for municipal flower boxes, which solves the problems of insufficient real-time monitoring of environmental parameters and inaccurate plant maintenance plans in traditional flower box management. It collects a variety of environmental data through Internet of Things sensors and combines with a comprehensive plant database to achieve intelligent and automated plant maintenance and environmental regulation.
[0009] The technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows: a comprehensive control and management system for municipal flower boxes, including an Internet of Things sensor module, a control instruction processing module, a plant comprehensive database, a solar light sensing detection module, a regional environment monitoring module and a comprehensive control module; The Internet of Things sensor module includes a temperature sensor, a camera, a wind detection sensor, a PM2.5 sensor and a communication unit. The temperature sensor wall is arranged around the soil on the inner wall of the flower box and in the water storage tank at the bottom of the flower box, and the collected temperature data is imported into the communication unit; the camera performs regular image data acquisition on the flower box, and imports the collected image data into the communication unit; the wind detection sensor records the wind direction and wind speed around the flower box, and forms a linear graph of time and wind speed, and imports the linear graph into the communication unit at regular intervals; the PM2.5 sensor performs regular detection of the PM2.5 content in the air around the flower box, and imports the detected air data into the communication unit; the communication unit transmits the collected temperature data, image data, line graph and air data to the control instruction processing module; The control instruction processing module receives the data uploaded by the communication unit, and calls the inventory data in the plant comprehensive database for comparison, establishes a standard control threshold according to the inventory data, sets at least three control intervals in the standard control threshold, controls the associated module in the flower box to act according to the data control interval, and performs corresponding maintenance on the plants in the flower box; The plant comprehensive database pre-stores several kinds of plant data, including temperature parameters, light parameters, humidity parameters, soil nutrient content and wind resistance parameters. Before the control instruction processing module calls the data, the plant planted in the flower box is selected from the plant comprehensive database, and the corresponding parameter data is called according to the planted plant; The solar light sensing detection module detects light sensing parameters in real time, establishes a change curve according to the time change of the light sensing parameters, stores the daily change curve, and sends the position and light data to the plant comprehensive database and the regional environment monitoring module after associating with the flower box position information; The regional environment monitoring module retrieves the types of plants planted in all flower boxes in the designated area, and retrieves the corresponding data of the planted plants from the plant comprehensive database at the same time, and sorts the plants in the plant comprehensive database according to the matching degree according to the illumination data of the light sensing detection module after calling the data in the plant comprehensive database according to the received information of the solar light sensing detection module, and outputs the sorting results through a visual interface; The comprehensive control module retrieves data from the Internet of Things sensor modules and control instruction processing modules of all flower boxes in the designated area, establishes a data backup library based on the retrieved data, and sets regional general rules for the control instruction processing modules. When the regional general rules conflict with the control interval, the control instruction processing module gives priority to using the regional general rules to issue control instructions to the flower boxes.
[0010] When designing a comprehensive control and management system for municipal flower boxes, the core idea is to use IoT technology and intelligent control methods to achieve refined management and maintenance of plants in flower boxes to improve the growth environment and quality of plants. The design of this system includes multiple modules, such as IoT sensor module, control instruction processing module, plant comprehensive database, solar light sensing detection module, regional environment monitoring module and comprehensive control module. Each module cooperates with each other to form an efficient management system.
[0011] The design of the IoT sensor module is the foundation of the system, which includes temperature sensors, cameras, wind detection sensors, PM2.5 sensors and communication units. Through these sensors, the system can monitor key parameters in the flower box and the surrounding environment in real time, such as soil temperature, air quality, wind speed and light intensity. The real-time collection of these data provides an important basis for subsequent decision-making, ensuring that the growth conditions of plants can be effectively monitored and adjusted. In addition, the camera's timed image acquisition function can not only be used for environmental monitoring, but also to observe the growth status of plants and detect problems such as pests and diseases in a timely manner.
[0012] The control instruction processing module plays a key role in the system. It receives data from the communication unit and compares it with the plant growth parameters in the plant comprehensive database to establish standard control thresholds. By comparing the data with the thresholds, the system can intelligently determine whether the current environment is suitable for plant growth and trigger corresponding maintenance measures as needed. This intelligent control method greatly improves management efficiency and reduces the need for manual intervention.
[0013] The plant comprehensive database is designed to store and manage a large amount of plant growth data, including parameters such as temperature, light, humidity, and soil nutrient content. The existence of this database enables the system to perform personalized management for different plant species, ensuring that each plant can grow in the most suitable environment. Compared with existing technologies, the intelligent call and logical matching functions of this database enable the system to provide more accurate maintenance measures and improve the success rate of plant growth.
[0014] The introduction of the solar light sensing module provides the system with real-time light data, which can dynamically monitor light changes and generate change curves. This function can not only analyze the impact of light on plant growth, but also provide support for the regional environmental monitoring module, enabling it to retrieve and analyze plant types and data over a larger range.
[0015] The regional environmental monitoring module can optimize plant management in the entire region by integrating plant data and environmental information from multiple flower boxes. The design of this module can ensure coordinated management between different flower boxes and improve resource utilization efficiency. In addition, the setting of the comprehensive control module ensures that when there is a conflict between the regional general rules and the specific control interval, the regional general rules will be followed first, ensuring the consistency and effectiveness of the system in management.
[0016] As a preferred embodiment, the associated modules in the flower box include a drainage unit, a watering unit, a nutrient bag control unit and a thermal insulation unit; wherein the drainage unit is provided with a water level unit in the water storage tank of the flower box, and after receiving the trigger signal of the water level unit, the drainage unit is started to drain until the water level is lower than the set line; when the temperature of the temperature sensor is lower than the set threshold, the drainage unit receives the instruction of the control instruction processing module to drain all the water in the water storage tank; the watering unit receives the timed watering instruction of the control instruction processing module, and controls the water pump to introduce the quantitative liquid in the water storage tank into the soil in the flower box; the nutrient bag control unit receives the nutrient solution replenishment instruction sent by the control instruction processing module, controls the nutrient bag in the soil in the flower box to open, and closes it at a fixed time; the thermal insulation unit receives the trigger signal of the control instruction processing module, heats the water storage tank of the flower box at a fixed time, and maintains the temperature of the flower box by water vapor.
[0017] As a preferred embodiment, the watering unit is set to water at night. After receiving the instruction from the control instruction processing module, the soil moisture in the flower box at different points is repeatedly detected through the humidity sensors installed in the horizontal array in the middle of the inner cavity of the flower box, and the watering amount is adjusted according to the detection results.
[0018] As a preferred embodiment, a support frame is horizontally arranged in the middle of the inner cavity of the flower box, a humidity sensor is installed in the support frame, and a soil nutrient sensor is installed on one side of each humidity sensor. The soil nutrient sensor provides nutrient content data in the soil, and the nutrient capsule control unit adjusts the opening and closing time of the nutrient capsule according to the nutrient content.
[0019] As a preferred implementation, the regional environment monitoring module sorts the plants according to their matching degree in the visualization interface, and simultaneously displays the temperature data, image data, line graph and air data uploaded by the Internet of Things sensor module in the visualization interface.
[0020] As a preferred implementation, the regional environmental monitoring module performs zoning monitoring according to the cultivated plants in the area, and sends corresponding data to the comprehensive control module according to the information received from the solar light sensing detection module. The comprehensive control module formulates regional general rules based on the corresponding data, and modifies the regional general rules when the corresponding data sent by the regional environmental monitoring module changes.
[0021] After adopting the above technical scheme, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the design and implementation of the municipal flower box integrated control and management system brings about many beneficial effects, which are not only reflected in the refined management of the plant growth environment, but also show significant advantages in improving the overall efficiency of urban greening, reducing management costs and enhancing public participation. First of all, the system can accurately collect a number of key environmental data such as soil temperature, humidity, light intensity, air quality, etc. through real-time monitoring of the Internet of Things sensor module. This real-time monitoring enables managers to grasp the environmental status of plant growth at the first time, and promptly discover and solve potential problems such as lack of water, lack of light or air pollution, thereby effectively preventing poor growth or death of plants due to environmental factors. This instant response capability is often difficult to achieve in traditional management models, and can greatly improve the survival rate and growth quality of plants.
[0022] The control instruction processing module in the system can automatically set standard control thresholds according to the growth needs of different plants through intelligent docking with the comprehensive plant database. This personalized control method ensures that each plant can grow in the environment most suitable for its growth, avoiding the waste of resources and uneven plant growth caused by improper management. This precise management not only improves the growth efficiency of plants, but also enhances the overall aesthetics and ecological value of urban greening, allowing municipal flower boxes to truly play their role in beautifying the environment.
[0023] The introduction of the solar light sensing module enables the system to monitor the changes in light in real time and establish a light change curve. This function can not only reflect the changes in the plant's demand for light, but also provide data support for managers to optimize the location layout of flower boxes and plant planting strategies. For example, in areas with less sunlight, plants suitable for low-light environments can be selected for planting, thereby increasing the success rate of plant growth. In addition, regular analysis of light sensing detection data also provides an important basis for future urban greening planning, helping decision makers to formulate more scientific greening plans.
[0024] Another beneficial effect of the system is the coordinated management of multiple flower boxes through the regional environmental monitoring module. By integrating the plant types and environmental data of different flower boxes, managers can optimize resource allocation over a larger range. For example, in a certain area, if it is found that the growth status of a certain plant is generally poor, managers can adjust the maintenance strategy of the area in time and concentrate resources for remediation. This regional collaborative management not only improves the utilization efficiency of resources, but also enhances the flexibility and response capabilities of management.
[0025] In addition, the system design also greatly reduces the need for manual management. Through automated data collection and intelligent decision support, managers can reduce daily manual inspections and record keeping work and devote more energy to strategic planning and system optimization. This change in work mode not only improves management efficiency, but also reduces management costs. Especially in large-scale greening projects, the savings in labor costs will be considerable.
[0026] The successful implementation of the integrated control and management system will provide important support for the sustainable development of the city. Through scientific and reasonable plant management, it can not only improve the ecological environment quality of the city, but also enhance the city's biodiversity, laying the foundation for the sustainable development of the city. At the same time, the intelligent management model of the system also provides a reference for the management of other urban infrastructure and promotes the process of smart city construction.

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0030] Example: like Figure 1 As shown, a comprehensive control and management system for municipal flower boxes includes an Internet of Things sensor module, a control instruction processing module, a plant comprehensive database, a solar light sensing detection module, a regional environment monitoring module and a comprehensive control module; The Internet of Things sensor module includes a temperature sensor, a camera, a wind detection sensor, a PM2.5 sensor and a communication unit. The temperature sensor wall is arranged around the soil on the inner wall of the flower box and in the water storage tank at the bottom of the flower box, and the collected temperature data is imported into the communication unit; the camera performs regular image data acquisition on the flower box, and imports the collected image data into the communication unit; the wind detection sensor records the wind direction and wind speed around the flower box, and forms a linear graph of time and wind speed, and imports the linear graph into the communication unit at regular intervals; the PM2.5 sensor performs regular detection of the PM2.5 content in the air around the flower box, and imports the detected air data into the communication unit; the communication unit transmits the collected temperature data, image data, line graph and air data to the control instruction processing module; The control instruction processing module receives the data uploaded by the communication unit, and calls the inventory data in the plant comprehensive database for comparison, establishes a standard control threshold according to the inventory data, sets at least three control intervals in the standard control threshold, controls the associated module in the flower box to act according to the data control interval, and performs corresponding maintenance on the plants in the flower box; The plant comprehensive database pre-stores several kinds of plant data, including temperature parameters, light parameters, humidity parameters, soil nutrient content and wind resistance parameters. Before the control instruction processing module calls the data, the plant planted in the flower box is selected from the plant comprehensive database, and the corresponding parameter data is called according to the planted plant; The solar light sensing detection module detects light sensing parameters in real time, establishes a change curve according to the time change of the light sensing parameters, stores the daily change curve, and sends the position and light data to the plant comprehensive database and the regional environment monitoring module after associating with the flower box position information; The regional environment monitoring module retrieves the types of plants planted in all flower boxes in the designated area, and retrieves the corresponding data of the planted plants from the plant comprehensive database at the same time, and sorts the plants in the plant comprehensive database according to the matching degree according to the illumination data of the light sensing detection module after calling the data in the plant comprehensive database according to the received information of the solar light sensing detection module, and outputs the sorting results through a visual interface; The comprehensive control module retrieves data from the Internet of Things sensor modules and control instruction processing modules of all flower boxes in the designated area, establishes a data backup library based on the retrieved data, and sets regional general rules for the control instruction processing modules. When the regional general rules conflict with the control interval, the control instruction processing module gives priority to using the regional general rules to issue control instructions to the flower boxes.
[0031] This integrated control and management system is used for the intelligent management of municipal flower boxes. It aims to achieve real-time monitoring and regulation of the plant growth environment through the Internet of Things technology, thereby improving the growth quality and management efficiency of plants. Its working principle is based on the synergy of multiple modules. Specifically, the system includes an Internet of Things sensor module, a control instruction processing module, a plant comprehensive database, a solar light sensing detection module, a regional environment monitoring module, and a comprehensive control module. The workflow can be roughly summarized into the following steps: First, the Internet of Things sensor module, as a front-end device for data acquisition, monitors the environmental parameters inside and outside the flower box in real time, including temperature, humidity, light, wind speed, and air quality. The temperature sensor is placed on the inner wall of the flower box and in the water storage tank to ensure accurate monitoring of soil and water temperature; the camera regularly captures the growth of plants in the flower box and transmits the image data to the communication unit; the wind detection sensor records the surrounding wind speed and direction and forms a time linear graph; the PM2.5 sensor monitors the pollutant content in the surrounding air. These data are summarized and transmitted to the control instruction processing module through the communication unit.
[0032] The control instruction processing module receives data from the communication unit and compares it with the inventory data in the plant comprehensive database to establish standard control thresholds. Based on these thresholds, the system sets multiple control intervals, and then controls different modules in the flower box (such as sprinkler system, lighting system, etc.) to perform corresponding actions to meet the needs of plant growth. The plant comprehensive database stores the growth parameters of various plants, including the required temperature, light and humidity information. When regulating, the system will call the corresponding data according to the type of plants planted in the flower box to achieve personalized maintenance. The solar light sensing detection module monitors light changes in real time, associates the data with the flower box location information, generates and stores light change curves. The regional environment monitoring module is responsible for managing the plant types of all flower boxes in a specific area, sorting the plants according to the data of solar light sensing detection, and outputting visual results to help managers make decisions.
[0033] The comprehensive control module aggregates all sensor data, establishes a data backup library, and sets regional general rules to ensure that regional rules are executed first in the event of rule conflicts. The design idea of this system is to achieve comprehensive perception and dynamic control of the plant growth environment through an intelligent sensor network. Compared with traditional manual management methods, its significant advantages lie in the data-driven decision-making process and real-time feedback mechanism. Traditional flower box management often relies on manual experience and regular inspections, which is inefficient and prone to errors. This system can respond to environmental changes in a timely manner through automated data collection and processing, significantly improving management efficiency and the health of plant growth.
[0034] The system's visual interface presents data in an intuitive way, making it easier for managers to quickly understand and process information. This design not only improves the management level of municipal flower boxes, but also contributes positively to urban greening and environmental protection. Through the optimization and integration of various modules, the comprehensive control and management system provides a new solution for the intelligent management of municipal flower boxes and promotes the sustainable development of urban greening.
[0035] The associated modules in the flower box include a drainage unit, a watering unit, a nutrient bag control unit and a thermal insulation unit; wherein the drainage unit is provided with a water level unit in the water storage tank of the flower box, and after receiving a trigger signal from the water level unit, the drainage unit is started to drain water until the water level is lower than the set line; when the temperature of the temperature sensor is lower than the set threshold, the drainage unit receives the instruction of the control instruction processing module to drain all the water in the water storage tank; the watering unit receives the timed watering instruction of the control instruction processing module, and controls the water pump to introduce the quantitative liquid in the water storage tank into the soil in the flower box; the nutrient bag control unit receives the nutrient solution replenishment instruction sent by the control instruction processing module, controls the nutrient bag in the soil in the flower box to open, and closes it at a fixed time; the thermal insulation unit receives the trigger signal of the control instruction processing module, heats the water storage tank of the flower box at a fixed time, and maintains the temperature of the flower box by water vapor.
[0036] The associated modules in the integrated control and management system include drainage units, watering units, nutrient capsule control units and thermal insulation units. The design of these units is significantly different from the existing technology in terms of functional integration, degree of automation and intelligent regulation. Traditional plant maintenance systems usually rely on manual intervention and lack real-time monitoring and automatic control capabilities. This system, through the combination of intelligent sensors and control modules, realizes comprehensive monitoring and management of the plant growth environment, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of plant maintenance.
[0037] The design of the drainage unit is innovative. In traditional flower box systems, drainage usually relies on manual operation and lacks an automated management mechanism. The drainage unit in this system, combined with the water level unit, can detect the water level in the water storage tank in real time and automatically start the drainage function after receiving a trigger signal. This design not only improves the accuracy of water level management, but also effectively prevents water accumulation at the roots caused by excessively high water levels. In addition, when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature is lower than the set threshold, the drainage unit can quickly drain the water in the water storage tank through the instructions of the control instruction processing module to avoid damage to the plant roots caused by low temperatures. This intelligent drainage mechanism is not common in the existing technology and reflects the efficiency and safety of the system.
[0038] The setting of the watering unit also has significant advantages. Traditional watering systems often rely on timers or manual watering, which lack flexibility and adaptability. The watering unit of this system can achieve quantitative watering according to the actual needs of the soil by receiving the timed watering instructions from the control instruction processing module. This automated watering mechanism not only saves water resources, but also ensures that plants can get the right amount of water to promote their healthy growth. This control method based on real-time data is relatively scarce in the existing technology, which shows the progress of this system in intelligent irrigation.
[0039] The design of the nutrient capsule control unit further enhances the scientific and targeted nature of plant maintenance. Traditional plant maintenance systems often cannot accurately control the replenishment of nutrient solution, which may lead to excess or insufficient nutrition for plants. However, this system can intelligently control the opening and closing of nutrient capsules in the soil by receiving the nutrient solution replenishment instructions sent by the control instruction processing module, ensuring that plants obtain the required nutrients at different growth stages. This precise nutrient management is a first in the existing technology, demonstrating the system's intelligent level in plant nutrient control.
[0040] The setting of the thermal insulation unit is also a highlight of this system. Traditional flower boxes often cannot maintain a stable temperature under extreme weather conditions, which affects the growth of plants. The thermal insulation unit of this system can receive the trigger signal of the control instruction processing module, heat the water storage tank regularly, and maintain the temperature in the flower box through water vapor. This active temperature control design is relatively rare in the existing technology, which can effectively improve the survival ability of plants in cold weather and ensure their healthy growth.
[0041] The watering unit is set to water at night. After receiving the instruction from the control instruction processing module, the humidity sensors installed in the horizontal array in the middle of the inner cavity of the flower box are used to repeatedly detect the soil humidity in the flower box at different points, and the watering amount is adjusted according to the detection results.
[0042] The watering unit of this system is set to water at night. This design concept is based on the characteristics of lower temperature and higher air humidity at night, which effectively reduces water evaporation loss. Compared with the traditional daytime watering method, night watering can maximize the use of water resources, ensure that plants can fully absorb the water they are watered, and improve the growth environment of plants.
[0043] Specifically, watering at night can not only reduce water evaporation, but also effectively reduce soil temperature fluctuations, providing a more stable growth environment for plants. Traditional watering methods are often carried out during the day. Due to the high temperature at this time, the evaporation rate of water is accelerated, resulting in a significant reduction in the effect of plants absorbing water, and even water waste. This system significantly optimizes the efficiency of water use and reduces the waste of water resources by watering at night. This design is not common in the prior art. The usual plant watering system lacks intelligent control of watering timing, and often relies on manual experience or fixed timers for watering, resulting in unsatisfactory watering effects.
[0044] By using humidity sensors to repeatedly detect soil humidity at different points in the flower box, this system can monitor the actual humidity of the soil in real time and dynamically adjust the amount of watering based on the test results. This control method based on real-time data ensures that plants can get the right amount of water at different growth stages or under different environmental conditions, avoiding the problem of insufficient or excessive watering that may occur in traditional watering methods. Traditional systems often only set fixed watering times and watering amounts, lacking targeted control, which can easily cause the soil to be over-wet or dry for a long time, affecting the healthy growth of plants.
[0045] The design of this system not only improves the accuracy of water management through intelligent humidity monitoring and dynamic adjustment, but also provides a more suitable growth environment for plants and promotes the healthy growth of plants. In summary, this system greatly improves the efficiency and scientificity of watering through the design of watering at night, which is different from the common watering methods in the existing technology and fully reflects the advantages of modern intelligent management. This innovative watering strategy and its matching humidity monitoring system mark an important advancement in plant management technology and provide strong support for achieving more efficient and sustainable urban greening.
[0046] A support frame is horizontally arranged in the middle of the inner cavity of the flower box, a humidity sensor is installed in the support frame, and a soil nutrient sensor is installed on one side of each humidity sensor. The soil nutrient sensor provides nutrient content data in the soil, and the nutrient capsule control unit adjusts the opening and closing time of the nutrient capsule according to the nutrient content.
[0047] In this integrated control and management system, humidity sensors and soil nutrient sensors are installed on the support frame arranged horizontally in the middle of the inner cavity of the flower box. This design fully considers the relationship between water and nutrients required for plant growth, and can realize comprehensive monitoring and regulation of the soil environment. As time goes by, the nutrients in the soil will gradually decrease due to plant absorption, microbial activities and environmental influences. This requires targeted management measures to maintain the nutrient balance of the soil and ensure the healthy growth of plants. Traditional plant maintenance systems usually lack real-time monitoring of soil nutrients and often rely on fixed fertilization cycles and fertilizer amounts, which may lead to excessive depletion of soil nutrients or excessive fertilization, thereby affecting plant growth and health. By installing soil nutrient sensors in the support frame, this system can monitor the nutrient content data in the soil in real time, and feed these data back to the nutrient capsule control unit to realize intelligent nutrient management.
[0048] Specifically, when the soil nutrient sensor detects a decrease in nutrient content, the nutrient capsule control unit can adjust the opening and closing time of the nutrient capsule in time to adapt to the actual needs of the soil. This dynamic adjustment mechanism not only improves the accuracy of nutrient supply, but also avoids the problems of nutrient waste and insufficiency that may occur in traditional fertilization methods. In addition, through the collaborative work of humidity sensors and nutrient sensors, the system can flexibly adjust watering and fertilization strategies when changes in soil moisture and nutrients are detected, thereby achieving the best ratio of water and nutrients and promoting the healthy growth of plants. This integrated management method based on real-time data is relatively rare in existing technologies. Traditional systems often lack this intelligent linkage mechanism and cannot effectively respond to dynamic changes in plant growth.
[0049] The regional environment monitoring module sorts the plants according to the matching degree in the visualization interface, and at the same time displays the temperature data, image data, line graph and air data uploaded by the Internet of Things sensor module in the visualization interface.
[0050] Existing technologies often only focus on monitoring a single environmental factor, such as temperature or humidity, but lack comprehensive analysis and real-time feedback of multiple environmental factors. By introducing the detection of wind speed and wind direction, the microclimate changes around the flower box can be more comprehensively grasped, providing more accurate environmental data support for plant growth. The generation of linear graphs and the regular import of communication units mean that the system can update data in real time and display it to users through a visual interface, providing users with intuitive data references. The timely transmission and visualization of this information not only improves the user's operating experience, but also enhances the ability to monitor the plant growth environment. The role of the line graph is particularly important because it not only reflects the trend of wind speed changes over time, but also helps users identify extreme changes in wind speed. Studies have shown that wind speed has an important influence on plant growth. Appropriate wind speed can promote plant photosynthesis and enhance plant growth vitality, while too strong or too weak wind speed may cause plant growth to be hindered. Especially in flower boxes, changes in wind speed directly affect the water evaporation rate and nutrient absorption efficiency of plants. By monitoring and analyzing wind speed, users can adjust watering and fertilization strategies in a timely manner to optimize plant growth conditions. In addition, the visual display of the line graph can help users intuitively understand the potential impact of wind speed changes on plant growth, and then make scientific decisions to avoid uneven plant growth or the occurrence of diseases and pests due to environmental fluctuations.
[0051] The regional environmental monitoring module performs zoning monitoring according to the cultivated plants in the area, and sends corresponding data to the comprehensive control module according to the information received from the solar light sensing detection module. The comprehensive control module formulates regional general rules according to the corresponding data, and modifies the regional general rules when the corresponding data sent by the regional environmental monitoring module changes.
[0052] In urban environments, the presence of high-rise buildings has a significant impact on lighting conditions, especially on the same street, where flower boxes in different locations have different lighting conditions due to the shading and reflection of buildings. This differentiated lighting condition directly affects the growth status and health of plants, especially in the management of urban greening and plant cultivation. This factor is particularly important. Light is a key factor for plant photosynthesis, and different plants have different requirements for light. Generally speaking, an environment with sufficient light can promote plant photosynthesis, increase its growth rate and growth quality, while insufficient light may cause slow plant growth, yellowing of leaves, or even death. Therefore, in urban environments, especially in areas with dense high-rise buildings, how to reasonably arrange the location of flower boxes and select suitable plant species has become an important topic.
[0053] In specific applications, the regional environmental monitoring module performs zoning monitoring based on the needs of plant cultivation in different regions, and can monitor the light intensity of each flower box in real time and collect relevant data. Through the information received from the solar light sensing detection module, the comprehensive control module can provide users with specific analysis of the light, helping users understand the changes in light conditions of flower boxes in different locations. For example, on the same street, flower boxes near high-rise buildings may have short light time and low light intensity due to the obstruction of the building. In this case, even if the same plant is used, the growth state of the plant may be obviously inconsistent due to insufficient light conditions, resulting in slow growth, yellowing leaves and other problems. However, the flower boxes on the other side of the street may thrive and show good growth due to open light conditions.
[0054] Therefore, for flower boxes in different locations, the comprehensive control module can dynamically adjust the regional general rules according to the changes in lighting data. For example, for flower boxes with poor lighting conditions, users can be advised to choose shade-tolerant plants or increase artificial light sources to improve the growth environment of plants. For flower boxes with better lighting conditions, users can choose plant varieties that require sufficient light to maximize the growth potential of plants. This decision-making mechanism based on real-time data makes urban plant breeding no longer a blind attempt, but a precise management based on scientific data.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
