[0024] Example:

[0025] according to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a flower box with adaptive adjustment function, comprising: a box body 100, a first water tank 102, a second water tank 104, a filter assembly 200, and an adjustment assembly. The box body 100 has a first storage space 101; the first water tank 102 is mounted on the box body 100 and has a water inlet 103 with a controllable switch, and is connected to the first storage space 101 through a first connection portion; the second water tank 104 is mounted at the bottom of the box body 100, is connected to the first storage space 101, and has an overflow hole; the filter assembly 200 is disposed between the first storage space 101 and the second water tank 104; the adjustment assembly is mounted on the box body 100 and has a monitoring unit 301 and an adjustment unit 302. The monitoring unit 301 is disposed in the second water tank 104, and the adjustment unit 302 is disposed at the water inlet 103. The monitoring unit 301 and the adjustment unit 302 are in communication with each other.

[0026] In this embodiment, the first water tank 102 is arranged at the top of the box body 100 and is fixed to the top side of the box body 100 by a limit frame. By setting an inward opening, water is evenly supplied to the first water tank 102; the first accommodating space 101 is used to accommodate soil. By setting a filter component 200 between the box body 100 and the second water tank 104, including multiple layers of filter materials, mud and sand particles are blocked in the first accommodating space 101; and by setting an adjustment component, the water bodies in the two water tanks are monitored and controlled separately to achieve adaptive adjustment of the interior of the flower box.

[0027] according to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the regulating unit 302 is used to control the start and close of the water inlet 103, the monitoring unit 301 is used to detect the liquid level information in the second water tank 104, and the monitoring unit 301 is provided with a timer. A time threshold T is preset. When the monitoring unit 301 detects a liquid level signal lower than the preset level in the second water tank 104, it counts to obtain t1. When t1 is equal to T, the monitoring unit 301 controls the regulating unit 302 to replenish water to the first water tank 102.

[0028] In this embodiment, the time threshold T is set according to the growth stage of the plant and the specific planting conditions, and a corresponding appropriate T value is set. Specifically, the appropriate T value can also be set with reference to the drought resistance of the plant's stress resistance. The monitoring unit 301 is a floating liquid level sensor and a piezoelectric sensor to control the liquid level information stored in the second water tank 104, and a single-chip microcomputer is used to convert the collected information. The adjustment unit 302 can be a solenoid valve, which converts the electrical signal of the liquid level information into the electrical signal of the opening and closing of the solenoid valve.

[0029] During use, different control thresholds of liquid level heights h are preset for different plants. The liquid level height h is a range value. After the control and adjustment unit 302 is closed, the liquid entering the entire device will continue to slowly flow into the second water tank 104, and will eventually be controlled and stabilized within the range h. When the liquid level in the second water tank 104 is lower than the minimum set value, the timer is started. Within the range of the time threshold T, after being replenished by rainwater or other forms, the liquid level information in the second water tank 104 changes and the timer is reset to zero. When the liquid level in the second water tank 104 is lower than the minimum set value, the timer is started. When t1 is greater than or equal to the time threshold T, the monitoring unit 301 sends a signal collected by the sensor. The control center, such as the single-chip microcomputer, processes the collected signal and outputs an electrical signal to control the adjustment unit 302 to control the water inlet 103 and start replenishing water.

[0030] according to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, it further includes: a plurality of water storage racks 105. The water storage racks 105 are stacked on each other, and a water storage tank 106 is provided on the water storage rack 105. The plurality of water storage racks 105 are stacked on each other to form a plurality of water storage tanks 106. A first interlayer 107 is provided inside the water storage rack 105.

[0031] In this embodiment, the water storage rack 105 forms multiple water storage tanks 106 at the bottom of the first storage space 101 to perform preliminary sedimentation of silt and liquid in the first storage space 101, thereby preventing the added water flow from being too fast and entering the second box body 100 with a large amount of silt.

[0032] according to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the filter assembly 200 includes: a first filter segment 201, a second filter segment 202, and a third filter segment 203. The first housing 100 is provided with a water outlet 108, one end of the first filter segment 201 is disposed within the water outlet 108, and the other end of the first filter segment 201 is embedded in the first accommodation space 101; the second filter segment 202 is disposed within the first interlayer 107, and filter holes are disposed on both sides of the first interlayer 107; the second housing 100 is provided with a water suction trough 109, and one end of the third filter segment 203 is disposed on the water suction trough 109, and the other end is embedded in the first accommodation space 101.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first filter section 201 is a cotton rope with fine pores, which is used to guide the liquid in the first water tank 102 into the soil in the first holding space 101 to prevent the soil from being impacted by the water flow and causing splashing of mud and sand; the second filter section 202 is filter cotton, which is arranged in the first interlayer 107, and further filters the liquid that has been deposited in the first holding space 101 and guides it into the second water tank 104, basically preventing mud and sand from entering the second water tank 104, thereby ensuring the water storage capacity of the second water tank 104; the third filter section 203 is filter cotton, which is used to guide the liquid in the second water tank 104 back to the first holding space 101.

[0034] according to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the invention further includes: a thermal insulation layer 1010 and a tapered sleeve 1012. The housing 100 is provided with a second interlayer 1011, and the thermal insulation layer 1010 is disposed within the second interlayer 1011. One end of the tapered sleeve 1012 is disposed on the water absorption groove 109, and the other end extends into the first accommodation space 101. The tapered sleeve 1012 has a water absorption channel, and the third filter section 203 is disposed within the water absorption channel.

[0035] In this embodiment, the insulation layer 1010 is insulation cotton, which is arranged in the second interlayer 1011 and is used to insulate the space inside the box 100 to prevent sudden temperature changes; the conical sleeve 1012 is slightly larger at the bottom and gradually converges towards the top, thereby strengthening the guidance of the liquid.

[0036] according to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a slope is provided in the water storage tank 106 , and the filter holes have a height difference from the bottom of the water storage tank 106 .

[0037] In this embodiment, the height difference is set so that the liquid in the water storage tank 106 can only enter the second water tank 104 after sedimentation through filter holes of a certain height, thereby increasing the sedimentation time and ensuring the efficiency of blocking sediment.

[0038] To sum up, through the monitoring unit 301 and the regulating unit 302 and the time threshold of the timer, the dynamic capture and response to the water demand of the plants can be achieved; through multi-stage filtration and inclined planes to assist the sedimentation of mud and water, the splashing of mud and sand is reduced, and the barrier to mud and sand is improved, thereby improving the water storage capacity and life of the second water tank 104; through the water replenishment of the first water tank 102 and the water storage of the second water tank 104, as well as the auxiliary water circulation structure, combined with the liquid level control and time threshold control, the adaptability to the usage scenario is improved.

[0039] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
