[0001] Container Flower Sales Techniques Background Art

[0002] Growing flowers is the cheapest, healthiest and most beautiful enjoyment in nature. Everyone needs and loves it. However, the traditional sales method of container flowers is store display. Customers need to make a special trip to the store, which is time-consuming and troublesome. Store rent and supervision costs greatly increase the price of flowers. Modern people also lack experience in plant care and often kill flowers quickly, so they think that growing flowers is a very expensive thing. This has greatly widened the distance between ordinary people and flowers. Summary of the invention

[0003] The unmanned container flower vending device can easily place container flowers in any corner of a residential area, making use of the residential environment to both display and sell flowers, bringing flowers and services to residents, achieving the best of both worlds. The device consists of a container (1) with a stopper and a remotely controlled lock seat (2).

[0004] The container (1) is a conduit drainage container or a container without drainage. The container (1) has a mounting hole (101) on the plane in contact with the lock seat (2). The main body of the T-nut (102) is covered with a sealing material (104). The outer side of the T-head is sealed with sealing glue (103) to be watertight and then installed into the mounting hole (101) from the inside of the container (1). The exposed part should not be higher than the plane on which it is installed. The stop rod (105) has teeth at one end and a T-head or a ring at the other end. The stop rod (105) is screwed into the T-nut (102) from the outside. The length of the stop rod (105) excluding the head should be equal to the distance from the T-nut (102) to the bottom side of the lock tongue (20201) of the electromagnetic lock (202) + a loose margin of 2 to 3 mm.

[0005] The lock base (2) includes hardware and software. The hardware consists of four parts: a shell (201), an electromagnetic lock (202), a controller (203) and a power supply (204). The plane where the shell (201) contacts the container (1) is called an upper cover (20101). The surface has a blocking rod hole (2010101) that is loosely matched with the diameter of the blocking rod (105) but smaller than its T-head. Starting from the center of the blocking rod hole (2010101), there is a slide groove (2010102) that is perpendicular to the extension and contraction direction of the lock tongue. The width of the starting section of the slide groove is greater than the diameter of the blocking rod (105) but smaller than the diameter of its T-head, and can gradually widen after passing through the lock tongue. , until it is larger than the diameter of the T-head of the T-screw, so that the blocking rod (105) can be finally lifted off, or it is not widened but extends all the way to the side wall of the shell (201), penetrates the side wall and widens its opening so that the blocking rod (105) including the T-head can slide out together, or the two are used in combination; after the blocking rod (105) of the container flower is lifted off or slides out, the blocking rod (105) can be unscrewed and placed normally; the shell (201) has a lower shell (20102) matched with the upper cover (20101), the lower shell is a cavity, and the electromagnetic lock (202) is installed in the lower shell, and the electromagnetic lock is installed in a position where the lock tongue (2201) is extended from the blocking rod hole The outer circumference of (2010101) crosses, and when the lock tongue (2201) is retracted, the connecting line perpendicular to the extension direction of the top of the lock tongue is outside the circumference of the blocking rod hole (2010101). When the lock tongue (2201) is extended, the container flower is in a locked state, and when it is retracted, the container flower is in an unlocked state; the controller (203) is a remotely controlled integrated unit, and the electromagnetic lock (202) and the respective power supplies (204) can be connected respectively according to the wiring diagram provided by the manufacturer; one controller (203) corresponds to a unique code (20301); the manufacturer provides remote control software (20302) when selling, but the user needs to pay a certain annual fee to the manufacturer, The remote control software (20302) can be used to remotely send action instructions to a controller (203) with a specific code, so that the electromagnetic lock (202) generates a chain response to make the lock tongue (2201) extend or retract to block or open the slide slot (2010102) channel, thereby achieving the purpose of locking or opening the container flowers; the bottom of the lock base shell (201) can be fixed on a smooth plane by using a super-strong adhesive, or a mounting hole (2010201) for fixing screws can be added at the bottom of the shell (20102), and then the container flowers can be arranged at any suitable position, and a one-to-one correspondence between the flowers and the lock base (2) is established.

[0006] When the container flowers are potted, the remote control software (20302) sends an action instruction to the controller (203) corresponding to the code (20301), opens the electromagnetic lock (202), puts the container flowers with the blocking rod (105) installed on the surface of the lock base shell (201) and allows the blocking rod (105) to be located in the blocking rod hole (2010101), and the T-head part is lower than the lock tongue (20201) of the electromagnetic lock (202), and then closes the electromagnetic lock (202), and the lock tongue (20201) blocks the blocking rod (105) so that it cannot slide out or be lifted away, and the locking is completed.

[0007] In order to realize unmanned sales, merchants can currently use WeChat or Alipay to generate a payment code (205) containing the selling price (20501). Before generating the code, enter the code (20301) of the controller (203) of the lock seat (2) where the flower is located in the remarks column (20502), print out the payment code (205) and bind it to the flower or flower pot. Buyers who like it can directly scan the code to pay. After payment, the merchant can receive the code (20301) information of the controller (203) of the lock seat (2) corresponding to the pot of flowers. The code (20301) can also be converted into a Chinese code that is easy to remember but not repeated. After finding the coding device, the unlocking instruction is issued. After unlocking, the buyer follows the prompt (206) to move the container flowers out along the slide (2010102) and unscrew the stopper (105) to take them away, and the transaction is completed. This payment mode needs to be simplified, and it can eventually be realized that the lock seat (2) automatically responds to unlocking after scanning the code for payment.

[0008] The prompt (206) should include a voice prompt (20601) and a graphic prompt (20602). The voice prompt (20601) is played by a speaker (20303) provided by the controller (203) through an instruction containing play text, and the graphic prompt (20602) is attached to a conspicuous position of the lock base housing (201).
