[0049] The following will describe in detail the implementation manners of the present application in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments, so as to fully understand how the present application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve the implementation process of technical effects and implement accordingly.

[0050] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7As shown in the figure, an intelligent flower watering pot tray based on multi-sensor fusion provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes: a support shell 1, a flower pot placement component 2 for placing flower pots is arranged on the top of the support shell 1, a water storage component 3 for supplying water to the flower pots is installed on one side of the support shell 1, and a control component 4 for controlling the water storage component 3 is installed on the other side of the support shell 1.

[0051] In order to achieve the modular layout of the water storage component 3 and the control component 4 and make efficient use of space, in this embodiment: a receiving cavity 101 for accommodating the water storage component 3 and the control component 4 is provided on the side surface of the support shell 1, and a partition plate 1011 for separating the water storage component 3 and the control component 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 101. The water storage component 3 and the control component 4 are integrated into the support shell 1 through modular design, and functional partitioning is realized by using the partition plate 1011, which improves the space utilization rate and the convenience of system maintenance.

[0052] In order to improve the mobility and scene adaptability of the intelligent flower pot tray, in this embodiment: a moving wheel 102 for moving the support shell 1 is further installed at the bottom of the support shell 1. The design of the bottom moving wheel 102 allows users to freely adjust the position of the tray according to requirements such as light and ventilation, enhancing the flexibility of the device in indoor and outdoor scenarios.

[0053] In order to ensure the stability of flower pot placement and standardized adaptation, in this embodiment: the flower pot placement component 2 includes a flower pot placement tray 201 fixedly connected to the support shell 1, and a placement groove 2011 for accommodating the flower pot is provided on the top of the flower pot placement tray 201. The design of the standardized placement groove 2011 is suitable for flower pots of various sizes, and physical limits are used to prevent the flower pot from tilting, improving the safety of plant maintenance.

[0054] In order to achieve the convenient maintenance and quick replacement of the water storage component 3, in this embodiment: the water storage component 3 includes a water storage tank 301 matching the receiving cavity 101, a water injection port 3011 is provided on the water storage tank 301, and an abutting plate 303 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the water storage tank 301. The design of the independent water storage tank 301 facilitates users to directly replenish water through the water injection port 3011, and the structure of the abutting plate 303 enhances the installation stability of the water storage tank 301 and reduces the maintenance difficulty.

[0055] In order to achieve the precise control of the irrigation system and the efficient utilization of water resources, in this embodiment: a delivery pump 302 is installed on the side surface of the water storage tank 301, the water inlet of the delivery pump 302 is communicated with the water storage tank 301, a delivery pipe 3021 is installed on the water outlet of the delivery pump 302, and a solenoid valve 3022 is installed on the delivery pipe 3021. The combination of the delivery pump 302 and the solenoid valve 3022 realizes water supply on demand, avoids ineffective irrigation, and can dynamically adjust the irrigation amount in cooperation with multi-sensor data, improving the water-saving efficiency.

[0056] In order to achieve the quick disassembly, assembly and anti-fooling design of the water storage component 3, in this embodiment: A first magnet sheet 304 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the water storage tank 301, and a second magnet sheet 3041 that cooperates with the first magnet sheet 304 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the partition plate 1011. The magnetic adsorption type fixing structure simplifies the disassembly and assembly process of the water storage tank 301, and at the same time realizes anti-fooling installation through magnetic pole matching, avoiding equipment damage caused by user's incorrect operation.

[0057] In order to achieve the flexible maintenance and hardware expandability of the control component 4, in this embodiment: The control component 4 includes a control module 401 slidably installed inside the accommodation cavity 101. An installation plate 4011 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the control module 401, and the installation plate 4011 is fixedly installed on the side surface of the support shell 1 through installation bolts 4012. The sliding installation facilitates the quick removal of the control module 401 for maintenance or upgrade, and the combination of the installation plate 4011 and the installation bolts 4012 ensures the operation stability of the system.

[0058] In order to achieve multi-parameter environmental perception and precise irrigation decision-making, in this embodiment: A soil humidity sensor 402 for monitoring the soil humidity in the flowerpot is electrically connected to the side surface of the control module 401. An environmental temperature sensor 202 and a light intensity sensor 2021 are respectively installed on both sides of the flowerpot placement tray 201. The multi-sensor fusion collects soil humidity, temperature, and light data, providing multi-dimensional input for the adaptive irrigation algorithm and reducing the irrigation precision error.

[0059] In order to achieve the real-time monitoring of the water storage volume and user warning, in this embodiment: A liquid level sensor 305 for monitoring the liquid level height inside the water storage tank 301 is also installed on the water storage tank 301. The liquid level sensor 305 feeds back the water storage volume in real time, and when the water level is lower than the threshold, a reminder is pushed through the APP, avoiding irrigation interruption caused by water shortage and improving the system reliability;

[0060] Among them, a solar panel 203 is also provided on the side surface of the flowerpot placement tray 201. By setting the solar panel 203, electrical energy can be provided for the flowerpot tray of the present invention, and it can work continuously for several days under the condition of no light, thereby reducing the energy consumption;

[0061] By adopting the above technical solutions, the following can be achieved:

[0062] Precise irrigation and water resource conservation

[0063] Multi-parameter fusion decision-making: Data is collected in real time by the soil humidity sensor 402, the environmental temperature sensor 202 and the light intensity sensor 2021, and the watering threshold is dynamically adjusted in combination with the adaptive algorithm. For example:

[0064] In a high-temperature and strong-light environment, that is, temperature > 30°C, light > 800 lux: Trigger high-frequency and small-water-volume irrigation to avoid too fast water evaporation.

[0065] Low-temperature and low-light environment, i.e., temperature < 15°C, light < 200 lux: reduce the irrigation frequency to once every 24 hours, and the water volume to 20 ml per time.

[0066] Improved water-saving efficiency: Compared with traditional timed irrigation, the water resource utilization rate is increased by 45%, avoiding soil salinization caused by ineffective irrigation.

[0067] Full-scenario adaptation and low-power operation

[0068] Generalized tray design:

[0069] Size adaptation: The tray diameter supports flowerpots with a diameter of 15 - 30 cm. Fix the flowerpot on the flowerpot placement tray 201, which is compatible with various materials such as ceramic, plastic, and wood.

[0070] Modular installation: The sensor and the irrigation system are integrated inside the support shell 1. Users only need to place the flowerpot on the flowerpot placement tray 201 to use it, greatly shortening the installation time.

[0071] Energy self-sufficiency:

[0072] Solar power supply: This invention is also equipped with a 10W monocrystalline silicon solar panel 203, placed outside the flowerpot placement tray 201, with a daily power generation of 30 Wh. Combined with a 5000 mAh lithium battery, it can work continuously for several days under no-light conditions.

[0073] Low-power control: The control module 401 uses an STM32L4 series chip, with a sleep current < 1 μA. The sensor data acquisition interval can be dynamically adjusted, with an active period of 1 minute per time and a sleep period of 30 minutes per time. The overall power consumption is reduced to 1 / 5 of the traditional system.

[0074] User-friendly and intelligent management

[0075] Remote monitoring and early warning:

[0076] APP real-time push: Users can view data such as soil humidity, light intensity, and the water level of the water storage tank 301 through the mobile APP, and receive water shortage reminders, such as pushing notifications when the water level is below 10%.

[0077] Historical data analysis: The system records the irrigation records and environmental parameters within 30 days, generates a plant health report, and assists users in optimizing the maintenance strategy.

[0078] Plant type adaptation:

[0079] Preset parameter library: Built-in irrigation thresholds for more than 200 types of plants such as succulents, Epipremnum aureum, and orchids. After the user selects the plant type, the system automatically matches the parameters, reducing the usage threshold.

[0080] Machine learning optimization: Through user feedback, such as the growth status of plants, and long-term data accumulation, the algorithm can automatically correct the watering strategy, improving irrigation accuracy.

[0081] Safety and reliability guarantee

[0082] Double anti-leakage design:

[0083] Sealing of solenoid valve 3022: The irrigation system uses a solenoid valve 3022 with waterproof function, such as solenoid valve 3022 of model IP67, to avoid short circuit caused by dripping.

[0084] Overflow prevention of water storage tank 301: The liquid level sensor 305 monitors the water level in real time. When the water level reaches 90%, the water supply is automatically stopped to prevent overflow.

[0085] Abnormal handling mechanism:

[0086] Sensor fault detection: If the reading of the soil humidity sensor 402 is continuously abnormal, such as > 90% and lasting for 24 hours, the system prompts the user to check the sensor or replace the flowerpot through the APP.

[0087] Function of resuming data transmission after network interruption: Wi-Fi / Bluetooth dual-mode communication supports offline storage of data, and automatically synchronizes to the cloud after the network is restored to ensure data integrity.

[0088] The working principle of the present invention is:

[0089] Multi-sensor data fusion:

[0090] The soil humidity sensor 402 monitors the soil water content in the flowerpot in real time. The environmental temperature sensor 202 and the light intensity sensor 2021 sense the external environmental parameters. The liquid level sensor 305 monitors the water level of the water storage tank 301, forming multi-dimensional data input.

[0091] Adaptive irrigation algorithm:

[0092] The control module 401 dynamically adjusts the watering threshold based on the plant type input by the user and historical data. For example:

[0093] Succulent plants: Set the lower limit of soil humidity to 40% and the upper limit to 60%. In a high-temperature environment, lower the lower limit to 35% to promote root respiration.

[0094] Foliage plants: Set the lower limit of humidity to 50% and the upper limit to 70%. In a low-light environment, raise the upper limit to 75% to reduce transpiration loss.

[0095] Precision irrigation execution:

[0096] When the soil humidity is lower than the set threshold and the light intensity > the critical value, such as 200 lux, the control module 401 activates the delivery pump 302 and the solenoid valve 3022, and conveys a fixed amount of water to the flowerpot through the delivery pipe 3021, and automatically shuts down after irrigation is completed.

[0097] User interaction and feedback:

[0098] Through the Wi-Fi / Bluetooth communication module, users can remotely monitor the system status, adjust parameters or receive warning messages through the APP, realizing the intelligence and convenience of plant maintenance.

[0099] The above description shows and describes several preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, as mentioned before, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the form disclosed herein, should not be regarded as excluding other embodiments, but can be used in various other combinations, modifications and environments, and can be changed within the scope of the inventive concept herein through the above teachings or the technology or knowledge in related fields.
