[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0021] The above technical solution, by setting up a water storage tank and a watering component, will cause the watering component to be driven to generate negative pressure when the cultivation pot containing flowers is placed on top of the water storage tank. Then, water from inside the support platform will be introduced into the water storage tank through the water pipe to fill it up. At this time, the purpose of automatically watering the water storage tank can be achieved, which greatly reduces the cost. At the same time, it is only necessary to pay attention to replenishing the water storage tank periodically, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of the operators.

[0022] This invention, by setting up a driving component and a water-passing component, allows the driving component to be activated when the water tank is completely filled with water. This activates the water-passing component to seal the gap between the water tank and the water pipe, preventing water from entering. When the water level in the water tank decreases, the driving component activates the water-passing component to release the seal, thus replenishing the water in the water tank in a timely manner and ultimately achieving the purpose of controlling the water level in the water tank.

[0023] This invention incorporates a clamping component and a power component. When the cultivation pot is placed on the bottom top surface of the machine body or the top of the support platform, the power component can be activated. The operation of the power component drives the clamping component to clamp the cultivation pot in the opposite direction. Due to the telescopic design of the inner end of the clamping component, it can be adapted to the diameter of the cultivation pot, thereby satisfying the need for stable clamping of cultivation pots of various sizes.

[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the present invention provides a flower cultivation device with automatic watering function, including a body 1, and further including: a support platform 2, the support platform 2 being disposed in the middle of the body 1; a water storage tank 3, the water storage tank 3 being disposed at the bottom of the body 1; and a watering mechanism 4, the watering mechanism 4 being disposed on the top surface of the support platform 2 and the top surface of the bottom of the body 1; wherein, the watering mechanism 4 includes a cultivation pot 402 disposed on the top surface of the bottom of the body 1 and the top surface of the support platform 2, the cultivation pot 402 being movably installed on the top surface of the body 1 and the support platform 2 above the water storage tank 401, and a watering component 403 being disposed inside the body 1 and the support platform 2 below the water storage tank 401, the bottom of the water storage tank 401 being connected to the interior of the water storage tank 401 through a water pipe 404.

[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the watering assembly 403 includes an air cylinder 4031, a drive rod 4032, a first spring 4033, a waterproof and breathable plate 4034, and a sealing ring 4035;

[0038] The air cylinder 4031 is located inside the body 1 and the support platform 2 and below the water tank 401. The drive rod 4032 is movably installed inside the air cylinder 4031. The drive rod 4032 is elastically connected to the inside of the air cylinder 4031 through the first spring 4033. The waterproof and breathable plate 4034 is located on one side of the top of the air cylinder 4031. The sealing ring 4035 is located on the top of the surface of the drive rod 4032.

[0039] Using the above solution: the elastic force of the first spring 4033 will push the drive rod 4032 to move upward, so that the gas at the top of the inner cavity of the air cylinder 4031 is introduced into the water tank 401.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, the sealing ring 4035 is made of rubber.

[0041] The above solution involves a sealing ring 4035. Due to the excellent elasticity and extensibility of the rubber sealing ring, it can maintain its original shape under pressure and flexibly adapt to interfaces of different sizes, ensuring excellent sealing performance in equipment of various shapes and sizes.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, a drive assembly 5 is provided inside the body 1 and the support platform 2. The drive assembly 5 includes a first oil cylinder 501, a first piston rod 502 and a second spring 503.

[0043] The first oil cylinder 501 is located inside the machine body 1 and the support platform 2 and is located on the top outer side of the water tank 401. The first piston rod 502 is movably installed inside the first oil cylinder 501, and the second spring 503 is located on the outer side of the first piston rod 502.

[0044] The above solution is adopted: by setting a first piston rod 502, when the water tank 401 is full of water, it will squeeze and push the two first piston rods 502 to move in opposite directions, thereby pushing the hydraulic oil in the inner cavity of the first oil cylinder 501 to flow to the outside.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, the other end of the second spring 503 is fixedly connected to the inside of the first oil cylinder 501.

[0046] The above solution is adopted: by setting a second spring 503, when the water inside the water tank 401 decreases, the pushing force on the first piston rod 502 will decrease, thereby releasing the elastic force of the second spring 503 and pushing the first piston rod 502 to move one end towards the other.

[0047] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the machine body 1 and the support platform 2 are equipped with a water supply assembly 6 located at the bottom of the air cylinder 4031. The water supply assembly 6 includes a baffle 601, a valve column 602, a second oil cylinder 603, a second piston rod 604 and a through groove 605.

[0048] The stop block 601 is located inside the machine body 1 and the support platform 2 and at the bottom center of the air cylinder 4031. The valve column 602 is movably installed inside the machine body 1 and the support platform 2. The second oil cylinder 603 is located inside the machine body 1 and the support platform 2 and at both sides of the bottom of the stop block 601. The second piston rod 604 is movably installed in the inner cavity of the second oil cylinder 603. The bottom of the second piston rod 604 is fixedly connected to the top of both sides of the valve column 602. The second oil cylinder 603 is connected to the first oil cylinder 501 through the through groove 605.

[0049] The above solution is adopted: by setting a second oil cylinder 603, when the hydraulic oil in the inner cavity of the first oil cylinder 501 flows to the outside, it will enter the bottom of the inner cavity of the second oil cylinder 603 through the through groove 605, and then push the second piston rod 604 to drive the valve column 602 upward as a whole.

[0050] like Figure 5 As shown, the diameter of the stop block 601 is smaller than that of the middle cavity of the air cylinder 4031, and the diameter of the stop block 601 is larger than that of the inner cavity of the valve column 602.

[0051] The above solution is adopted: by setting a baffle 601, since the diameter of the baffle 601 is smaller than the middle cavity of the air cylinder 4031, there is a gap that allows water to pass through smoothly. However, since the diameter of the baffle 601 is larger than the inner cavity of the valve column 602, when the valve column 602 is in contact with the baffle 601, it will block the water tank 401 and the water pipe 404.

[0052] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, clamping components 7 located outside the incubation basin 402 are movably installed on the top surfaces of both the machine body 1 and the support platform 2. The clamping components 7 include a clamping frame 701, a sliding rod 702, a tension spring 703, and a pad 704.

[0053] The clamping frame 701 is fixedly installed on the top of the machine body 1 and the support platform 2 and located outside the incubation basin 402. The slide rod 702 is movably installed inside the outside of the clamping frame 701. The slide rod 702 is elastically connected to the outside of the clamping frame 701 through the tension spring 703. The pad 704 is set at the inner end of the slide rod 702.

[0054] The above solution is adopted: by setting a tension spring 703, when the tension spring 703 is in a contracted state, it will pull the slide bar 702 and the pad 704 towards each other. However, according to the change of the diameter of the cultivation basin 402, the pad 704 and the slide bar 702 will be opposite to each other, while stretching the slide bar 702.

[0055] like Figure 9As shown, the pad 704 is made of rubber.

[0056] The above solution is adopted: by setting up a pad 704, due to the deformable properties of rubber, the pad 704 will deform and fit according to the increase of the diameter of the cultivation pot 402, so as to meet the clamping of various sizes.

[0057] like Figure 10 As shown, a power assembly 8 is provided on the outside of the machine body 1, located below the clamping frame 701. The power assembly 8 includes a triangular block 801, a hydraulic cylinder 802, a drive bar 803, and a pulley 804.

[0058] Triangular block 801 is fixedly installed at the bottom of clamping frame 701, hydraulic cylinder 802 is fixedly installed on the outside of machine body 1 and located in the middle of the bottom of clamping frame 701, drive bar 803 is set on both sides of the top of hydraulic cylinder 802, and the outer side of the top of drive bar 803 is slidably connected to the bottom of triangular block 801 through pulley 804.

[0059] The above solution is adopted: by setting up a drive bar 803, when the hydraulic cylinder 802 runs and drives the drive bar 803 to move up and down as a whole, it will drive the pulley 804 to slide at the bottom of the triangular block 801, thereby squeezing and driving the clamping frame 701 to move in opposite directions or away from each other.

[0060] Working principle and usage process of this invention:

[0061] First, when the operator needs to place the corresponding size of the cultivation pot 402 on the top of the machine body 1 and the support platform 2, the hydraulic cylinder 802 can be activated to push the drive bar 803 upward, so that the pulley 804 slides on the bottom slide of the triangular block 801 and squeezes and pushes the triangular block 801 and the clamping frame 701 to move in opposite directions. Then, multiple cultivation pots 402 containing flowers can be placed on top of the water tank 401 in the machine body 1 and the support platform 2. Finally, the hydraulic cylinder 802 is activated downward, so that the drive bar 803 drives the triangular block 801 and the clamping frame 701 to move in opposite directions, so that the pad 704 can deform and wrap the cultivation pots 402 of different diameters, and stably clamp the cultivation pots 402 on the top of the machine body 1 and the support platform 2.

[0062] At the same time, when the cultivation basin 402 is placed above the water storage tank 401, it will squeeze and push the drive rod 4032 and the sealing ring 4035 to move downward as a whole. The downward movement of the drive rod 4032 will make the gap in the top cavity of the air cylinder 4031 larger, thereby generating suction to draw the gas inside the water storage tank 401 through the position of the waterproof and breathable plate 4034. Then, due to the loss of gas in the water storage tank 401, a negative pressure is also generated, which can then draw water from the water storage tank 3 into the water storage tank 401 through the water pipe 404.

[0063] Finally, when the water tank 401 is filled with water, the first piston rod 502 is pushed back into the first oil cylinder 501, causing the hydraulic oil inside the first oil cylinder 501 to be pushed into the through groove 605. The hydraulic oil inside the through groove 605 is then squeezed and pushed into the inner cavity at the bottom of the second oil cylinder 603. The hydraulic oil then squeezes and pushes the second piston rod 604 and the valve stem 602 upwards, causing the top of the valve stem 602 to contact the bottom of the stop block 601. The water tank 401 and the water pipe 404 are sealed. When some of the water in the water tank 401 is consumed, the second spring 503 releases its elasticity and pushes the first piston rod 502 towards the opposite side, causing the valve column 602 to be driven downward. This releases the seal between the water tank 401 and the water pipe 404, and the missing water is then drawn from the water tank 3 by the water pipe 404 through negative pressure to replenish the water tank 401, thus maintaining a certain amount of water inside the water tank 401 for cultivation.
