Detailed implementation manner

[0023] Next, in combination with the accompanying drawings and the detailed implementation manner, the present invention will be further described. It should be noted that, on the premise of no conflict, the following described embodiments or technical features can be combined arbitrarily to form new embodiments.

[0024] Embodiment 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 6 , a garden landscape plant wall with an automatic irrigation function in this embodiment includes a fixed frame 1 and a flower pot 2. One side of the flower pot 2 is fixedly connected with an insertion block 7. One side of the fixed frame 1 is processed with a groove 8. The insertion block 7 is movably connected inside the groove 8. The bottom of the groove 8 is processed with a slot 9. The bottom of the insertion block 7 is plugged and connected inside the slot 9. A clamping block 10 is movably connected inside the groove 8. The clamping block 10 is located at the top of the slot 9. One side of the clamping block 10 is fixedly connected with a movable column 11. One end of the movable column 11 is fixedly connected with a limit ring 18. The bottom of the limit ring 18 is fixedly connected with a connecting block 17. A plurality of hand wheels 13 are arranged at one end of the fixed frame 1. The inner side of the hand wheel 13 is fixedly connected with a rotating shaft 14. A plurality of gears 15 are fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 14. The top of the gear 15 is meshed and connected with a rack 16. The top of the rack 16 is fixedly connected with the bottom of the connecting block 17; Among them, when several plants are necrotic and need to be replaced, a worker rotates the hand wheel 13 at one end of the flower pot 2. The hand wheel 13 will drive the rotating shaft 14 to rotate. The rotating shaft 14 will drive the gear 15 to rotate. The gear 15 will drive the rack 16 to move. The rack 16 will drive the connecting block 17 to move. The connecting block 17 will drive the limit ring 18 to move. The limit ring 18 will drive the movable column 11 to move. The movable column 11 will drive the clamping block 10 to move, so that the clamping block 10 disengages from the top of the slot 9. Another worker lifts the corresponding flower pot 2 upward. The flower pot 2 will drive the insertion block 7 to move upward, so that the bottom of the insertion block 7 disengages from the inside of the slot 9. Thus, the flower pot 2 can be easily removed, and the operation of directly replacing the flower pot 2 planted with new green plants is simple and convenient; Secondly, when the new flowerpot 2 needs to be installed on one side of the fixing rack 1, first push the insertion block 7 into the inside of the groove 8. The insertion block 7 will squeeze the clamping block 10, causing the clamping block 10 to move inside the fixing rack 1 and disengage from the top of the slot 9. Then move the flowerpot 2 downward so that the bottom of the insertion block 7 is completely inserted into the inside of the slot 9. At the same time, the elastic force of the return spring 21 will push the clamping block 10 to move back to its position, causing the clamping block 10 to move to the top of the insertion block 7, thereby limiting the movement of the insertion block 7 and further fixing the flowerpot 2 to avoid potential safety hazards caused by the flowerpot 2 falling off from one side of the fixing rack 1 due to vibration; Furthermore, a limiting groove 12 is machined inside the fixing rack 1, and the limiting ring 18 is movably connected inside the connecting groove 19. When the movable column 11 drives the limiting ring 18 to move, the limiting ring 18 will move along the inside of the limiting groove 12, and the limiting groove 12 will limit the movement of the limiting ring 18 to prevent the limiting ring 18 from disengaging from the inside of the limiting groove 12; Furthermore, one end of the limiting groove 12 is machined with a movable groove 20, and one end of the movable groove 20 is communicated with the groove 8. The movable column 11 is movably connected inside the movable groove 20. When the insertion block 7 pushes the clamping block 10 to move, the clamping block 10 will drive the movable column 11 to move. The movable column 11 will move inside the movable groove 20, and the clamping block 10 will move inward along the groove 8, causing the groove 8 to disengage from the top of the slot 9, facilitating the insertion block 7 to be inserted downward into the inside of the slot 9; Furthermore, a return spring 21 is arranged outside the movable column 11. One end of the return spring 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the clamping block 10, and the other end of the return spring 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one end of the movable groove 20. By providing the return spring 21, when the clamping block 10 is pushed, the clamping block 10 will drive the return spring 21 to be compressed. When the clamping block 10 is released, the return spring 21 will return and elongate, and the return spring 21 will drive the movable column 11 to move, thereby causing the clamping block 10 to move to the top of the slot 9 to limit the insertion block 7; Furthermore, connecting grooves 19 are machined at the top and bottom of the limiting groove 12, and the connecting blocks 17 are movably connected inside the connecting grooves 19. When the limiting ring 18 moves, the limiting ring 18 will drive the two connecting blocks 17 to move. The two connecting blocks 17 will move along the inside of the connecting grooves 19 respectively, and the connecting grooves 19 will limit the movement of the connecting blocks 17, thereby enabling the limiting ring 18 to maintain a stable state when moving; Furthermore, a sliding groove 22 is machined at the bottom of the connecting groove 19, and the rack 16 is movably connected inside the sliding groove 22. When the gear 15 rotates to drive the rack 16 to move, the rack 16 will move along the inside of the sliding groove 22, and the sliding groove 22 will limit the movement of the rack 16, thereby enabling the rack 16 to maintain a stable state when moving; Furthermore, a rotation groove 23 is processed inside the fixed frame 1, and the rotation groove 23 is located at the bottom of the slide groove 22. The rotating shaft 14 is rotatably connected inside the rotation groove 23. By providing the rotation groove 23, the rotating shaft 14 will rotate along the inside of the rotation groove 23, and the rotation groove 23 will limit the movement of the rotating shaft 14.

[0025] Embodiment 2: Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment introduces the specific structure of the water pipe 3 and the spray head 4. The flower pot 2 is located on one side of the fixing frame 1. The fixing frame 1 is provided with a water pipe 3 inside. One side of the water pipe 3 is provided with a plurality of spray heads 4. One end of the spray head 4 passes through the outside of the fixing frame 1. One end of the plurality of spray heads 4 is respectively located on the top of the plurality of flower pots 2. Among them, the intelligent controller is the core of the automatic irrigation system. The intelligent controller can connect to various sensors and automatically make irrigation decisions based on environmental parameters. For example, the microprocessor-based intelligent controller can receive sensor data and accurately control the duration and frequency of irrigation. By burying a soil moisture sensor inside the flowerpot 2, the soil moisture is monitored in real time. When the moisture is lower than the set threshold, a feedback signal is sent to the controller to start irrigation; when it reaches an appropriate value, the feedback signal causes the controller to stop irrigation; Water pipe 3 is responsible for water delivery, which delivers water from the water source to various areas of the plant wall. It is divided into main pipes and branch pipes according to pipe diameter and purpose. The main pipe has a large pipe diameter and is responsible for long-distance water delivery; the branch pipe has a small pipe diameter and distributes the water from the main pipe to each sprinkler or drip irrigation device; The drainage system consists of a water collection tank and drainage pipes. The water collection tank collects excess irrigation water and condensed water from plant transpiration and evaporation; the drainage pipe guides the water in the water collection tank to a suitable location for recycling and reuse. When it is necessary to irrigate the green plants in the flowerpot 2, one end of the water pipe 3 is connected to the water source, so that the water source enters the inside of the water pipe 3, and then passes through the multiple sprinkler heads 4 respectively, so that the water passes through the multiple sprinkler heads 4 one by one to irrigate the multiple green plants; Furthermore, an inclined water trough 201 is processed on the top of one side of the flower pot 2, and a water seepage hole 202 is processed on the bottom of the inclined water trough 201. The bottom of the water seepage hole 202 is connected to the inner bottom of the flower pot 2. When the sprinkler head 4 is working to irrigate the green plants, water will inevitably drip from the water outlet of the sprinkler head 4. These dripping water will flow into the flower pot 2 along the inclined water trough 201, realizing the recycling of water resources. At the same time, water flows through the water seepage hole 202 and can penetrate into the bottom of the flower pot 2, effectively moistening the bottom soil and providing sufficient water for the plant roots, truly realizing the maximum utilization of water resources and avoiding waste; Furthermore, multiple flower pots 2 are distributed in a regular array on one side of the fixed rack 1. The multiple flower pots 2 are divided into 5 layers and 6 columns. A plurality of water collecting troughs 5 are arranged at the bottom of the multiple flower pots 2. One end of the plurality of water collecting troughs 5 is fixedly connected with a water pipe 6. When too much water is irrigated inside the flower pot 2, the water will flow down through the bottom of the flower pot 2 and be collected inside the water collecting trough 5. The water inside the plurality of water collecting troughs 5 will be collected through the water pipe 6 and recycled, avoiding waste of water resources.

[0026] Automatic irrigation workflow: Parameter setting and initialization: Before the automatic irrigation system is enabled, according to the plant species, growth stage, seasonal changes, etc. of the plant wall, parameters such as the appropriate soil humidity range, irrigation time, duration, frequency, etc. are set on the controller. At the same time, the sensor is calibrated to ensure accurate data.

[0027] Real-time monitoring: The sensor works continuously. The soil humidity sensor monitors the soil humidity parameters, and the real-time data is continuously transmitted to the controller.

[0028] Decision-making and execution: The controller receives the sensor data and analyzes it. When the soil humidity is low, the controller issues an instruction to open the solenoid valve (controlling the water flow on and off in the water pipe), and the water pump starts (if pressurization is required). The water is transported to the spray head 4 through the pipe network for irrigation. When the set irrigation duration is reached or the soil humidity meets the standard, the controller issues an instruction to close the solenoid valve and stop irrigation. Working principle: By rotating the handwheel 13 at one end of the flower pot 2, the handwheel 13 will drive the rotating shaft 14 and the gear 15 to rotate. The gear 15 will drive the rack 16, the connecting block 17 and the limiting ring 18 to move. The limiting ring 18 will drive the movable column 11 and the clamping block 10 to move, so that the clamping block 10 disengages from the top of the slot 9. Then the worker lifts the flower pot 2 to be replaced upward. The flower pot 2 will drive the insertion block 7 to move upward and disengage from the inside of the slot 9, so that the flower pot 2 can be easily removed and a new flower pot 2 for planting green plants can be directly replaced. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0029] The above embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention belong to the scope of protection required by the present invention.
