Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of municipal flower boxes, and in particular relates to an intelligent water-saving flower box for municipal use. Background Art
[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the improvement of people's requirements for quality of life, urban greening and landscape design have become increasingly important. As a new type of urban greening facility that integrates greening, beautification, environmental protection and intelligent management, smart flower boxes have gradually attracted widespread attention. However, the current smart flower box technology still has some shortcomings in practical applications, which limits its comprehensive promotion and application in urban greening. First of all, the existing smart flower boxes are relatively single in functional integration, mainly focusing on plant planting and basic environmental monitoring, such as temperature and humidity. This single-function design cannot meet the needs of modern urban greening for diversified and intelligent management.
[0003] For example, many smart flower boxes lack comprehensive monitoring of key environmental factors such as air quality, soil nutrients, and light intensity, resulting in the inability to optimize the plant growth environment, affecting the greening effect. Secondly, the current smart flower boxes have obvious deficiencies in intelligent management. Many systems rely on simple sensors and controllers and lack intelligent analysis and decision-making capabilities. This low level of intelligence makes it impossible for flower boxes to automatically adjust management strategies based on real-time environmental data, such as automatic watering, fertilization, and light adjustment, resulting in unstable plant growth status and low management efficiency. In addition, existing smart flower boxes also have bottlenecks in data transmission and processing. Many systems use wired connections or low-bandwidth wireless communication technology, with slow data transmission speeds and poor real-time performance, which cannot meet the needs of large-scale, high-frequency data collection and processing. This data transmission bottleneck not only affects the response speed of the system, but may also cause data loss or delays, affecting the accuracy of management decisions.
[0004] Current smart flower boxes have deficiencies in energy supply and endurance. Many systems rely on external power or traditional batteries, and cannot achieve long-term, uninterrupted operation. This limitation in energy supply limits the use of smart flower boxes in outdoor applications, especially in remote areas or temporary greening projects, where it is difficult to achieve continuous intelligent management. Finally, existing smart flower boxes often lack standardization and modularization in design and manufacturing, resulting in poor compatibility and interoperability between different brands and models. This lack of standardization not only increases the maintenance cost of the system, but also limits the large-scale promotion and application of smart flower boxes. Therefore, the development of a smart water-saving flower box for municipal use aims to overcome the various defects of existing technologies by integrating a variety of advanced technologies and provide a more comprehensive, intelligent and efficient urban greening solution. By introducing multi-sensor fusion technology, intelligent decision-making algorithms, high-speed data transmission networks and efficient energy management systems, the smart flower box can achieve comprehensive monitoring and intelligent regulation of the plant growth environment, ensure healthy plant growth, and improve the urban greening effect. At the same time, through standardized and modular design, the compatibility and interoperability of the system are improved, the maintenance cost is reduced, and the widespread application of smart flower boxes in urban greening is promoted. Summary of the invention
[0005] The present invention proposes a smart water-saving flower box for municipal use. Traditional flower boxes are relatively single in energy utilization, usually relying on external power or manual operation, lacking sustainability and environmental protection. The multifunctional smart flower box achieves self-sufficient energy supply through the combination of solar panels and light sensors. The solar panel converts solar energy into electrical energy to provide power for the equipment in the flower box, reducing dependence on external power, reducing energy consumption and environmental pollution, and embodying the green and environmentally friendly design concept.
[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is achieved as follows: a smart water-saving flower box for municipal use, comprising a flower box body which is a hollow rectangular structure with a closed bottom and an opening at the top, a spray pipe is installed on the upper front and rear inner walls of the flower box body, a solar panel is installed on the upper end surface of one side of the flower box body, a light sensor is installed on the side above the solar panel, an equipment board is installed on the flower box body below the solar panel, a partition plate is horizontally arranged in the middle of the inner cavity of the flower box body, a filtering device is arranged in the middle of the partition plate, a water tank is below the partition plate, and the equipment board is connected to the water tank through a water pump inlet pipe, and the water stored in the water tank is pressurized and sprayed out through the spray pipe.
[0007] As an innovative gardening equipment, the multifunctional smart flower box aims to solve the various technical problems existing in traditional flower boxes in plant care and management. First of all, traditional flower boxes often rely on manual operation for watering, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to poor plant growth or even death due to uneven or excessive watering. The multifunctional smart flower box realizes the automatic watering function through the built-in sprinkler pipe and water pump system. The water inlet pipe of the water pump is connected to the water tank, which can pressurize the water stored in the water tank and evenly spray it to the roots of the plants through the sprinkler pipe, ensuring that the plants get the right amount of water, solving the problem of uneven manual watering.
[0008] Traditional flower boxes lack flexibility in light management and cannot automatically adjust light conditions according to the growth needs of plants. Multifunctional smart flower boxes can monitor light intensity in real time by installing solar panels and light sensors, and automatically adjust the tilt angle of solar panels according to the photosynthesis needs of plants to maximize the absorption of solar energy. This intelligent light management method not only improves the utilization efficiency of solar energy, but also provides plants with a suitable light environment and promotes the healthy growth of plants.
[0009] Traditional flower boxes have deficiencies in drainage and filtration, which can easily lead to waterlogging in the soil and lack of oxygen in the roots, affecting the growth of plants. The multifunctional smart flower box effectively solves this problem through built-in partitions and filtering devices. The partition divides the inner cavity of the flower box into two parts, the lower part is the water tank, and the upper part is the planting area. The filtering device is set in the middle of the partition, which can filter out impurities and excess water in the soil, ensuring that the water in the water tank remains clean, while avoiding waterlogging in the soil, providing a good growth environment for plant roots.
[0010] Compared with existing technologies, multifunctional smart flower boxes have shown significant advantages in many aspects. First of all, in terms of automated watering, traditional flower boxes usually require manual regular watering, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to uneven watering. The multifunctional smart flower box realizes the automated watering function through the built-in sprinkler pipe and water pump system. The water inlet pipe of the water pump is connected to the water tank, which can pressurize the water stored in the water tank and evenly spray it to the roots of the plants through the sprinkler pipe, ensuring that the plants get the right amount of water and improving the efficiency and uniformity of watering.
[0011] In terms of light management, traditional flower boxes cannot automatically adjust light conditions according to the growth needs of plants, and often rely on natural light or manual adjustment. The multifunctional smart flower box can monitor light intensity in real time by installing solar panels and light sensors, and automatically adjust the tilt angle of the solar panels according to the photosynthesis needs of plants to maximize the absorption of solar energy. This intelligent light management method not only improves the utilization efficiency of solar energy, but also provides plants with a suitable light environment and promotes the healthy growth of plants.
[0012] In terms of drainage and filtration, traditional flower boxes easily cause waterlogging in the soil and lack of oxygen in the roots, affecting the growth of plants. The multifunctional smart flower box effectively solves this problem through built-in partitions and filtering devices. The partition divides the inner cavity of the flower box into two parts, the lower part is the water tank, and the upper part is the planting area. The filtering device is set in the middle of the partition, which can filter out impurities and excess water in the soil, ensuring that the water in the water tank remains clean, while avoiding waterlogging in the soil, providing a good growth environment for plant roots.
[0013] In terms of energy utilization, traditional flower boxes usually rely on external power or manual operation, which lacks sustainability and environmental protection. The multifunctional smart flower box achieves self-sufficient energy supply through the combination of solar panels and light sensors. Solar panels convert solar energy into electrical energy to provide power for the equipment in the flower box, reducing dependence on external power, reducing energy consumption and environmental pollution, and embodying the green and environmentally friendly design concept.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, a soil temperature and humidity sensor is installed in the middle of the inner wall side end face of the flower box body. The soil temperature and humidity sensor is connected to the integrated circuit board in the equipment board. When the soil temperature and humidity sensor detects that the soil data is lower than the set threshold, the water pump is started to supply water.
[0016] As a preferred embodiment, the spray pipe is provided with a plurality of through holes on one side toward the center point of the flower box body, and an emergency filtering device is installed in the inner wall of the flower box body opposite to the soil temperature and humidity sensor, and the emergency filtering device assists the filtering device in filtering excess moisture in the soil into the water tank.
[0017] As a preferred embodiment, the solar panel is connected to the battery through a solar adapter cable, and the battery is powered by the solar panel. A manual switch is provided under the solar panel to control the water pump to be turned on and off.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment, the light sensor sends a trigger signal to the equipment board after not receiving a light signal for a set time, and starts the spray pipe to replenish water when the intensity of the light signal is lower than a set threshold.
[0020] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the design and implementation of the multifunctional smart flower box brings significant beneficial effects. First, the introduction of the automated watering function significantly improves the efficiency and quality of plant maintenance. Through the built-in spray pipe and water pump system, the flower box can automatically pressurize the water stored in the water tank and spray it evenly to the roots of the plants, ensuring that the plants get the right amount of water and avoiding the problem of uneven manual watering. This automated watering method not only saves time and energy, but also improves the growth quality and survival rate of plants.
[0021] Intelligent light management provides a suitable growth environment for plants. By installing solar panels and light sensors, the flower box can monitor light intensity in real time and automatically adjust the tilt angle of the solar panels according to the photosynthesis needs of the plants to maximize the absorption of solar energy. This intelligent light management method not only improves the utilization efficiency of solar energy, but also provides a suitable light environment for plants, promoting the healthy growth of plants.

[0023] The self-sufficient energy supply method embodies the green and environmentally friendly design concept.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] 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.
[0029] Example: like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a smart water-saving flower box for municipal use includes a flower box body 1 which is a hollow rectangular structure with a closed bottom and an opening at the top, a spray pipe 2 is installed on the upper front and rear inner walls of the flower box body 1, a solar panel 3 is installed on the upper end surface of one side of the flower box body 1, a light sensor 31 is installed on the upper side of the solar panel 3, an equipment board 5 is installed on the flower box body 1 below the solar panel 3, a partition plate 4 is horizontally arranged in the middle of the inner cavity of the flower box body 1, a filter device 41 is arranged in the middle of the partition plate 4, a water tank 6 is located below the partition plate 4, and the equipment board 5 is connected to the water tank 6 through a water pump inlet pipe 61, and the water stored in the water tank 6 is pressurized and sprayed out through the spray pipe 2.
[0030] The design of this multifunctional smart flower box aims to provide an ideal growth environment for plants through automation and intelligent means while saving resources. The system's structure and functional combination make it suitable for different climatic conditions and user needs. Its main working principle and process can be divided into the following steps: The bottom of the flower box body 1 is closed and the top is provided with an opening, forming a hollow rectangular structure, and the internal space is used to accommodate plants and water. A spray pipe 2 is installed on the upper part of the front and rear inner walls of the flower box. The function of the spray pipe is to atomize water and spray it evenly on the plants to meet the moisture required for their growth. To achieve this function, a solar panel 3 is installed on the upper end surface of one side of the flower box body. The solar panel is used to convert sunlight into electrical energy to provide power for various components of the flower box. A light sensor 31 is installed on the upper side of the solar panel to monitor the light intensity of the surrounding environment. In the middle of the flower box, a partition plate 4 is horizontally placed, and a filter device 41 is provided in the middle of the partition plate. The filter device is used to ensure the cleanliness of the water source and prevent impurities from affecting the growth of plants. Below the partition plate 4 is a water tank 6, the main function of which is to store water for watering plants. The equipment board 5 is installed below the solar panel 3, and a water pump and related controllers are configured on the equipment board. When the flower box system is started, the light sensor 31 will monitor the ambient light intensity in real time. When the light intensity reaches the preset threshold, the sensor will send a signal to the controller, prompting the system to perform watering operations. At this time, the water pump draws water from the water tank 6 through the water inlet pipe 61 and pressurizes it. The pressurized water flow is transported to the nozzle through the spray pipe 2. In this process, the flow of water first passes through the filter device 41 to ensure the cleanliness of the water quality. The filtered water flows into the spray pipe 2, and the nozzle atomizes the water to form a fine mist, which is evenly sprayed on the plants. This spraying method can effectively increase the humidity of the soil and meet the growth needs of the plants. In addition, the design of the spray pipe ensures that the water can cover every corner of the flower box to avoid poor plant growth due to insufficient water.
[0031] While the water pump is working, the solar panel 3 continues to provide power to the system to ensure the normal operation of the water pump and the light sensor. Once the water pump stops working, the spraying of water will also stop, and the controller will continue to monitor the light intensity and soil moisture according to the preset time interval to determine whether it is necessary to start the watering operation again.
[0032] In addition, the system has good energy efficiency management. The solar panels are charged during the day and accumulate enough electricity to support the operation of the entire system. When the light is insufficient, the system automatically switches to low power mode to extend the battery life, thus ensuring the continuous operation of the flower box under different environmental conditions.
[0033] To ensure the efficient operation of the flower box, users can set and monitor it through the control panel on the device board or the relevant smart application. Users can freely set the watering frequency and watering amount according to the type and growth needs of the plants, thereby achieving personalized management. At the same time, the system can also record the watering history and plant growth through the data recording function, so that users can conduct subsequent analysis and adjustments.
[0034] This multifunctional smart flower box realizes the automatic management of plant watering through reasonable structural design and intelligent control system. Through the coordinated work of light sensors, solar panels, filtration devices and water pumps, it ensures that plants can obtain the right amount of water under different lighting conditions to promote their healthy growth. The intelligent design of the system not only improves the user's operating convenience, but also provides a more ideal growth environment for plants, reflecting the application potential of modern technology in horticultural management.
[0035] The equipment board 5 is equipped with a water pump 51, a battery 52, an integrated circuit board 53, a water pump power line 54 and a 4G signal module 55. The water pump 51 is arranged in the middle of the equipment board 5, the water pump water inlet pipe 61 is connected to the water pump 51, and the water pump outlet pipe is connected to the spray pipe 2. The integrated circuit board 53 is arranged on one side of the water pump 51 and connected to the water pump 51 through the water pump power line 54. The battery 52 is arranged on one side of the integrated circuit board 53, and the integrated circuit board 53 is powered by the battery 52. The 4G signal module 55 is installed on one side of the equipment board 5. The difference between this technical solution and the prior art is mainly reflected in the integration and intelligent control of system components. In the prior art, the water pump and the power supply are usually designed separately, lacking an integrated power management system, which may cause energy waste and inflexible control problems during system operation. However, this solution integrates the water pump, battery, integrated circuit board and 4G signal module on the same equipment board 5, thereby realizing a high degree of system integration, reducing the complexity of connection between components, and improving the overall operating efficiency.
[0036] The water pump 51 is connected to the water tank 6 through the water inlet pipe 61, and can directly draw water from the water tank, while the connection between the water outlet pipe and the sprinkler pipe 2 ensures that the water flow can be effectively sprayed onto the plants. The integrated circuit board 53 serves as the control center, and directly controls the switch of the water pump through the water pump power line 54, which simplifies the control circuit design and greatly improves the response speed and reliability of the system. The provision of the battery 52 ensures that the system can still work normally in the absence of external power supply, which often requires additional power management modules or battery monitoring devices in the prior art, increasing costs and complexity. In addition, the addition of the 4G signal module 55 enables the device to have the ability of remote monitoring and control. Users can monitor the status of the flower box in real time and perform remote operations through mobile phones or other smart devices. This kind of remote intelligent control is not common in the prior art.
[0037] Through integrated design concepts and intelligent control methods, this technical solution not only improves the operating efficiency of the system, but also enhances its adaptability and user experience, reflecting the trend of modern horticultural technology towards intelligence and automation.
[0038] A soil temperature and humidity sensor 11 is installed in the middle of the inner wall side end face of the flower box body 1. The soil temperature and humidity sensor 11 is connected to the integrated circuit board 53 in the equipment board 5. When the soil temperature and humidity sensor 11 detects that the soil data is lower than the set threshold, the water pump 51 is started to supply water. The difference between this technical solution and the prior art is that it adopts an active soil moisture monitoring and automatic water supply mechanism to ensure that the plants obtain a suitable growth environment. In the prior art, soil moisture monitoring often relies on manual inspection by users or the use of simple humidity detectors, lacking real-time feedback and automatic control functions, causing plants to be easily affected by untimely or excessive watering. This solution installs a soil temperature and humidity sensor 11 in the middle of the inner wall of the flower box to monitor the moisture content in the soil in real time. When it is detected that the soil moisture is lower than the set threshold, the system can automatically start the water pump 51 to supply water, thereby realizing intelligent watering.
[0039] The soil temperature and humidity sensor 11 is connected to the integrated circuit board 53 in the equipment board 5 to form a closed-loop control system. The sensor collects humidity data in the soil in real time and transmits the data to the integrated circuit board 53 for analysis. When the humidity data is lower than the preset threshold, the integrated circuit board will send a signal to start the water pump 51, and the water pump will start working to draw water from the water tank 6 and spray it to the roots of the plants through the spray pipe 2. This process not only improves the efficiency of watering, but also ensures the timely supply of water required by the plants, avoiding plant growth problems caused by untimely watering. In addition, this automated control mechanism also reduces the workload of users and improves the convenience of use.
[0040] This technical solution significantly enhances the intelligence level and adaptability of the smart flower box by introducing soil temperature and humidity sensors and automatic water supply mechanism. Compared with the existing technology, it provides a more efficient and convenient plant maintenance solution.
[0041] The spray pipe 2 is provided with a plurality of through holes on one side facing the center point of the flower box body 1, and an emergency filter device 12 is installed in the inner wall of the flower box body 1 opposite to the soil temperature and humidity sensor 11. The emergency filter device 12 assists the filter device 41 in filtering excess moisture in the soil into the water tank 6. The difference between this technical solution and the prior art is that it introduces the emergency filter device 12 to optimize moisture management and improve the functionality of the system. In the prior art, there is usually a lack of effective means for managing excess moisture, which may cause the soil to become over-wet, thereby affecting the healthy growth of plant roots. This solution can effectively handle excess moisture in the soil by installing an emergency filter device 12 in the inner wall of the flower box, thereby improving the moisture management capability of the system.
[0042] The spray pipe 2 has several through holes on one side facing the center point of the flower box body 1, so that water can be evenly sprayed onto the roots of the plants, ensuring that the soil remains moist within an appropriate range. However, in some cases, such as rainfall or system failure, there may be too much moisture in the soil, affecting plant growth. At this time, the role of the emergency filter device 12 becomes particularly important. The emergency filter device 12 works in conjunction with the auxiliary filter device 41 to quickly filter and guide excess water back to the water tank 6 to prevent water accumulation in the soil. The design of the emergency filter device 12 allows water to be effectively discharged without affecting plant growth. When the soil temperature and humidity sensor 11 detects that the soil humidity is too high, the system can automatically trigger the operation of the emergency filter device 12 to ensure that excess water is discharged in time and returned to the water tank 6. This design not only improves the utilization efficiency of water resources, but also ensures the healthy growth of plants and reduces the risk of root rot.
[0043] This technical solution enhances the moisture management capability of the smart flower box by introducing the emergency filter device 12. Compared with the prior art, it provides a more comprehensive moisture regulation solution to adapt to the growth needs of plants under different environmental conditions.
[0044] The solar panel 3 is connected to the battery 52 through a solar adapter cable, and the battery 52 is supplied with energy through the solar panel 3. A manual switch is provided under the solar panel 3, and the water pump 51 is turned on and off by the manual switch. The difference between this technical solution and the prior art is that it adopts a combination of solar power supply and manual control to improve the energy utilization efficiency and flexibility of the system. In the prior art, many plant watering systems rely on traditional power supplies, which may cause energy waste and problems of not being able to work normally in the event of a power outage. This solution solves this problem by providing the system with renewable energy through the solar panel 3.
[0045] The solar panel 3 is connected to the battery 52 through a solar adapter. When there is sufficient sunlight, the solar panel can convert light energy into electrical energy and store it in the battery. This design not only reduces the dependence on traditional power sources, but also realizes the use of sustainable energy. At the same time, the battery 52 can provide power for the system when there is no sunlight, ensuring that the flower box can operate stably in all weather conditions.
[0046] The manual switch setting provides the user with an additional control option. The user can manually turn on or off the water pump 51 according to actual needs and flexibly adjust the frequency and amount of watering. This manual control mechanism combined with the automation system enables the user to respond quickly in specific situations, increasing the operational flexibility of the system. For example, in rainy weather or when the soil humidity is high, the user can manually turn off the water pump to avoid unnecessary water supply and protect the health of the plant roots.
[0047] This technical solution improves the energy efficiency and operational flexibility of the smart flower box by introducing a combination of solar power supply and manual control. Compared with existing technologies, this solution has obvious advantages in sustainable development and user experience, providing a more intelligent and environmentally friendly solution for modern gardening.
[0048] The filter device 41 is protruding from the partition plate 4, and the filter device 41 is a 7-stage filter device. The upper end surface of the filter device 41 has a rectangular array of through grooves 42, and the filter device 41 is filled with activated carbon. The main difference between the above technical scheme and the prior art is that it adopts a highly efficient seven-stage filter device 41, and further improves the water purification ability by filling activated carbon. In the prior art, the water quality filtration system is often relatively simple, and may only rely on basic physical filtration methods, which cannot effectively remove fine particles, chemicals or harmful substances in the water, resulting in the plant growth environment being affected. This scheme significantly enhances the water purification effect by setting a seven-stage filter device 41, ensuring that the water quality supplied to the plants reaches a higher standard.
[0049] Specifically, the design of the filter device 41 protruding from the partition plate 4 enables it to better adapt to the overall structure of the flower box and provide an efficient filtering effect when water flows through. The filter device 41 adopts a seven-stage filtering design, which means that the water needs to pass through multiple filtering layers when passing through, and each layer can filter different types of impurities, thereby achieving more comprehensive water purification. Such a multi-stage filtering method is not common in the prior art, and usually only single or double-stage filtering is used, resulting in limited filtering effects. On the upper end face of the filter device 41, a rectangular array is provided with a number of through grooves 42. This design not only improves the passing efficiency of the water flow, but also increases the filtering area, so that the water flow can contact the filter material in a larger range, further improving the filtering effect. The design of the through groove ensures the uniform distribution of the water flow and avoids the situation where the local water flow is too fast and cannot be fully filtered.
[0050] The filter device 41 is filled with activated carbon, which is a material with extremely strong adsorption capacity and can effectively remove organic matter, odor and other pollutants in the water. The use of activated carbon is not common in the prior art, especially in small plant maintenance systems. By introducing activated carbon, the filter device 41 can significantly improve the safety of water quality and reduce the adverse effects on plant growth. This technical solution significantly enhances the water purification capacity by providing a seven-stage filter device 41 and filling it with activated carbon. Compared with the prior art, it provides a more efficient and comprehensive water filtration solution, providing a healthier growth environment for plants.
[0051] After the light sensor 31 has not received a light signal for a set time, it sends a trigger signal to the equipment board 5, and when the intensity of the light signal is lower than the set threshold, it starts the sprinkler pipe 2 to replenish water. The main difference between the above technical scheme and the prior art is that it introduces an intelligent light control mechanism, and realizes the automatic management of plant watering through the light sensor 31. In the prior art, the plant watering system often relies on manual operation by the user, or only controls the watering time through a timer, lacking real-time response and intelligent judgment to changes in ambient light. This method is prone to excessive or insufficient watering under changing climatic conditions, thereby affecting the healthy growth of plants. However, this scheme realizes intelligent monitoring of light intensity and watering control through the setting of the light sensor 31, which significantly improves the automation and adaptability of the system.
[0052] Specifically, the light sensor 31 sends a trigger signal to the device board 5 after the set time has passed without receiving a light signal. This mechanism ensures that the system can respond in time when the light conditions change. When the light sensor detects that the light intensity is lower than the set threshold, it will immediately send a signal to the device board to instruct the system to start the sprinkler pipe 2 for water replenishment. This intelligent control method enables the system to automatically adjust the watering strategy according to the actual environmental conditions, ensuring that the plants can still get enough water when the light is insufficient.
[0053] Compared with existing technologies, this solution has significant advantages in the intelligence and adaptability of watering. Existing technologies are usually unable to automatically adjust the watering frequency according to changes in light, which can easily lead to growth problems for plants due to lack of water or overwatering. However, through the introduction of light sensors, the system can achieve real-time monitoring of the plant growth environment, ensuring timely watering in the case of insufficient light, thereby improving the survival rate and growth quality of plants.
[0054] In addition, this automatic watering mechanism based on light-sensing signals also reduces the user's operating requirements and improves the convenience of use. Users no longer need to frequently check the status of plants or water them manually, but can rely on the intelligent management of the system to make plant maintenance easier and more efficient. This technical solution realizes intelligent control of plant watering by introducing a light sensor 31, significantly improving the automation and adaptability of the system. Compared with the prior art, this solution shows obvious advantages in environmental responsiveness and user convenience, providing a more efficient and intelligent solution for modern gardening.
