Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of architectural design and planting technology, specifically to a combined planting device for architectural design. Background Technology
[0002] Modular planting systems for architectural design are an integrated, modular green building technology that provides a systematic solution for planting in architectural spaces (such as facades, rooftops, and balconies) through a detachable and combinable structural design. Existing products include, for example, GSky's Versa. XT indoor and outdoor green walls primarily focus on combined planting inside and outside building walls. Core components include a modular tray system, patented vertical irrigation technology, aluminum alloy frame, and detachable planting pots. This enables adaptive design to the curvature of building facades and supports installation on complex structures. By combining traditional horticulture with modern building technology, and through standardized modular design, flexible configuration is achieved, which can meet both architectural aesthetic needs and ecological functions.
[0003] Compared to typical plains areas, the architecture of the mountainous region of northern Guangxi is characterized by sloping roofs and load-bearing timber structures. Due to the high humidity and frequent rainfall in the mountainous region, many buildings employ stilt-house construction to reduce the impact of moisture on the interior and enhance ventilation. When existing architectural designs using combined planting techniques are applied to buildings in the northern Guangxi region, the original stilt-house structures are affected. Combined with the humid and rainy climate of the mountainous area, the wooden components inside the buildings are prone to mold and corrosion, reducing building durability. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a combined planting device for architectural designs that can adapt to complex architectural styles and climates. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a combined planting device for architectural design. By combining a stilted, elevated load-bearing frame with an intelligent adjustment system for tilt angle and environmental monitoring, it achieves moisture isolation between the planting area and the main building, dynamic adaptation to sloping roofs, and efficient utilization of rainwater, thus solving the problem of wooden buildings in the mountainous areas of northern Guangxi being susceptible to moisture and corrosion.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A combined planting device for architectural design includes several installation frames that are arranged and fixed on the exterior facade or roof of a building. The installation frames are divided into facade frames and top frames according to the installation plane of the exterior wall. Several facade planting units for vertical planting of green plants are installed on each facade frame, and several top planting units are installed on each top frame.
[0006] Each top planting unit includes a support frame, which is a bottom-suspended frame of a dry-stilt structure. Several planting boxes are arranged at equal intervals inside the support frame. Each support frame is equipped with an angle acquisition component for collecting the tilt angle of the support frame. Each support frame is equipped with a drive adjustment component at the bottom for adjusting the posture of the support frame. The drive adjustment component is connected to the control system. The angle acquisition component is connected to the control system.
[0007] The supporting frame is equipped with an environmental monitoring component for collecting temperature and humidity data of the planting environment. The supporting frame is also equipped with a water collection and irrigation component that can collect rainwater and deliver irrigation water. Both the water collection and irrigation component and the environmental monitoring component are connected to the control system signal.
[0008] The technical principle of the above solution is as follows: the facade and roof planting units are integrated through a modular installation frame, the planting area is isolated from the main building by a stilt-style structural support frame, the tilt angle is dynamically corrected by a drive adjustment component in real time by a tilt acquisition component, and the control system integrates sensor data and executes irrigation and environmental regulation commands to form an integrated planting system that adapts to complex building structures and climatic conditions.
[0009] The above approach has the following beneficial effects:
[0010] 1. This solution uses a stilt-style overhead support frame to block the path of moisture conduction, thus resolving the conflict between traditional planting devices and stilt structures. It prevents moisture from directly penetrating the main building from the planting area, alleviates the risk of mold and corrosion of wooden components caused by the high humidity climate in the Guibei mountainous area, and improves the durability of the building.
[0011] 2. This solution is designed to work in concert with tilt angle acquisition and drive adjustment components to automatically correct the tilt angle of the load-bearing frame, ensuring that the planting unit maintains a stable posture on uneven surfaces such as sloping roofs, avoiding substrate loss and local water accumulation, and solving the problem of structural load and fixing method conflict when installing traditional planar modular devices in mountainous buildings.
[0012] 3. This solution utilizes rainwater resources efficiently through water-collecting irrigation components and achieves on-demand irrigation by combining environmental monitoring, reducing human intervention; the stilt structure utilizes natural wind to accelerate air circulation, reduce humidity in the planting area, and adapt to the humid and rainy climate of the northern Guangxi mountainous area.
[0013] 4. The modular design supports flexible combination of facade and roof planting units, and can be installed differently according to the characteristics of the building structure (such as wood structure, concrete roof), enhancing the system's scalability and compatibility, without the need for large-scale modification of the building itself, and improving adaptability to complex architectural styles.
[0014] Furthermore, the load-bearing frame includes a partition and a connecting plate. The partition divides the load-bearing frame into a fixed planting section and a deformable section from top to bottom. The fixed planting section includes a box that is fixedly connected to the top of the partition.
[0015] The partition is hinged to the connecting plate through a deformation part. The deformation part includes an extension connector fixedly connected to the bottom of the partition and several telescopic connectors. Both the telescopic connectors and the extension connectors are hinged to the connecting plate. The extension connectors are located on one side of the bottom of the partition, and the telescopic connectors are evenly distributed from the extension connectors to the other side of the partition.
[0016] Beneficial effects: By dividing the load-bearing frame into a fixed planting section and a deformable section, and utilizing the hinged structure of the extension connector and the telescopic connector, the partition can rotate around the connecting plate to adapt to different slopes; this design realizes stepless adjustment of the load-bearing frame posture, provides a mechanical basis for keeping the planting section horizontal, and improves the adaptability to complex terrains such as sloping roofs.
[0017] Furthermore, the drive adjustment assembly includes an electric cylinder hinged to the connecting plate, the output shaft of which is hinged to the bottom of the partition.
[0018] Beneficial effects: By using the hinged design of the electric cylinder with the partition and connecting plate, the control system commands are converted into mechanical driving force, which drives the telescopic connector and the extension connector to move in coordination; this design realizes the automatic adjustment of the tilt angle of the load-bearing frame, replaces manual leveling, improves installation efficiency and reduces the operation difficulty caused by mountainous terrain.
[0019] Furthermore, the tilt acquisition component includes a tilt sensor fixedly connected to the side wall of the partition, which is used to acquire the angle between the partition and the horizontal plane.
[0020] Beneficial effects: The tilt sensor collects the angle data between the partition and the horizontal plane in real time, providing a basis for attitude monitoring for the control system; the design achieves precise quantification of the tilt angle, ensuring the timeliness and accuracy of adjustment command triggering, and avoiding the loss of planting substrate or structural stress concentration caused by angle deviation.
[0021] Furthermore, a top plate covering the top of the box is provided above the partition. Several telescopic limiting rods perpendicular to the connecting plate are vertically fixedly connected to both sides of the top plate. The ends of the telescopic limiting rods away from the top plate are slidably connected to the surface of the connecting plate, and the telescopic parts of the telescopic limiting rods are fixedly connected to the partition.
[0022] Beneficial effects: The rigid connection between the top plate and the telescopic limit rod ensures that the top plate remains parallel to the connecting plate as the partition is adjusted. This design ensures that the top of the planting unit is consistent with the roof slope of the building, maintaining smooth drainage and coordinating the planting system with the building's appearance, thus meeting the requirements for the preservation of traditional village features.
[0023] Furthermore, the water collection and irrigation component includes a water storage tank fixedly connected to the partition, a water collection trough fixedly connected to one end of the top plate, the water collection trough being connected to the water storage tank, a water level sensor fixedly connected inside the water storage tank, a water supply component connected to several planting boxes fixedly connected to one side of the water storage tank, and a signal valve fixedly connected at the connection between the water storage tank and the water supply component.
[0024] Beneficial effects: By collecting rainwater in a collection trough and storing it in a water tank, and combining water level sensors and signal valves to control the irrigation rhythm, this design achieves efficient use of rainwater resources, reduces dependence on building water supply and drainage systems, and at the same time avoids irrigation interruptions during droughts through water level monitoring, thus improving system independence.
[0025] Furthermore, the environmental monitoring components include several soil moisture sensors that are fixedly connected to the corresponding planting boxes.
[0026] Beneficial effects: The soil moisture sensor collects moisture data from the planting box in real time, providing a trigger signal for the irrigation module; this design enables on-demand irrigation, avoids the subjective errors of manual irrigation, improves the stability of the plant root environment, and reduces the risk of waterlogging or drought.
[0027] Furthermore, the environmental monitoring components also include a temperature sensor fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank, and a sprinkler system for spraying and irrigating green plants is connected to one side of the water tank.
[0028] Beneficial effects: By monitoring the ambient temperature of the container through a temperature sensor, the sprinkler system is switched to atomize and cool down when it gets too hot; this design upgrades the irrigation function into a composite system that combines water supply and temperature regulation, improving the plant's high-temperature tolerance and adapting to the climate characteristics of large diurnal temperature differences in mountainous areas.
[0029] Furthermore, the facade planting unit has the same structural design as the roof planting unit, except that several planting boxes in the facade planting unit are replaced with several planting pots hung on the surface of the partition.
[0030] Beneficial effects: By replacing the planting boxes of the facade planting unit with hanging planting pots, and using a modular hanging structure to adapt to vertical installation, this design reduces the facade load, improves space utilization, and facilitates disassembly and maintenance, adapting to the complex structure of the building facade and the need for greening replacement.
[0031] Furthermore, the control system includes a tilt adaptation adjustment module, an irrigation module, a growth environment adjustment module, and a drought alarm module;
[0032] The tilt adaptation adjustment module is used to collect the angle data between the partition and the horizontal plane in real time through the tilt sensor, and analyze the collected real-time tilt angle. When |real-time tilt angle|>0.5°, it generates an electric cylinder extension adjustment command, sends the adjustment command to the electric cylinder, drives the telescopic connector and the extension connector to work together to adjust the partition to a horizontal state.
[0033] The irrigation module is used to collect the soil moisture of the root layer in the planting box or planting pot through the soil moisture sensor, compare the real-time humidity value with the preset optimal soil moisture threshold, and trigger the irrigation demand when the real-time humidity value is less than the preset optimal soil moisture threshold. At the same time, it generates an irrigation duration command by combining the water level sensor data of the water storage tank, and controls the opening of the control signal valve by combining the irrigation duration and irrigation demand.
[0034] The growth environment regulation module is used to collect the real-time temperature inside the box through a temperature sensor and compare the real-time temperature with the preset plant overheating threshold. When the real-time temperature is greater than the preset plant overheating threshold, a misting cooling command is generated and a signal is sent to the irrigation module, which sends the signal originally intended to the signal valve to the sprinkler.
[0035] The drought alarm module is used to collect the real-time water level in the water tank through the water level sensor in the water tank, and compare the real-time water level with the preset warning threshold. The preset warning threshold is 15% of the total volume of the water tank. When the real-time water level is ≤ the threshold, a drought warning signal is generated to prompt the user to manually replenish irrigation water and to suspend the output of irrigation instructions.
[0036] The preset optimal soil moisture threshold and preset plant overheating threshold are both determined by the user based on the characteristics of the green plants being planted.
[0037] Beneficial effects: Through a multi-module collaborative control system, the system integrates sensor data such as tilt angle, temperature and humidity, and water level to achieve integrated control of tilt adjustment, intelligent irrigation, environmental cooling, and drought alarm. This design improves the system's automation level, reduces manual intervention, adapts to the real pain points of rugged mountainous terrain and high maintenance costs, and enhances the device's versatility for diverse planting scenarios.

[0049] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:
[0050] Example 1:
[0051] This embodiment provides a combined planting device for architectural design, specifically as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the system includes several installation frames 1 fixed to the exterior facade or roof of the building. The installation frames 1 are divided into facade frames 101 and roof frames 102 according to the installation plane of the exterior wall. The installation of facade frames 101 and roof frames 102 needs to be implemented in accordance with the differences in building structural characteristics and functional requirements. For example, the installation of roof frames 102 needs to be adapted to the roof structure of the Guibei mountainous area. For wooden roofs, L50×5 full-length galvanized angle steel brackets (spacing ≤1200mm) are used to fix the roof truss purlins with φ8×80mm wood screws. For concrete roofs, M10×100mm expansion bolts are used to fix the waterproof layer protection layer directly, and butyl rubber waterproof gaskets are added at the root of the bolts. The bottom of the load-bearing frame 4 is equipped with 0-100mm adjustable feet, and the levelness is calibrated by a level instrument (deviation ≤2mm / 2m). Neoprene rubber anti-slip pads (friction coefficient ≥0.6) are added to the pitched roof area. The edge integrates a 50mm wide water guide channel and connects to the roof drainage system through a 75mm diameter PVC elbow.
[0052] Several facade planting units 2 for vertical planting of greenery are installed on the facade frame 101, and several roof planting units 3 are installed on the top frame 102.
[0053] Taking one of the top-mounted planting units, 3, as an example, this will be explained in conjunction with... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the top planting unit 3 includes a supporting frame 4, which is a stilt-style structure with an open bottom. Several planting boxes 5 are arranged equidistantly inside the supporting frame 4. The design of the stilt-style supporting frame 4 is in line with the traditional wisdom of "open bottom, ventilation and moisture isolation" in the architecture of the Guibei mountain area. Its advantages in reducing the impact of building humidity after installation are mainly reflected in: (1) After the installation of the stilt-style supporting frame 4, the open isolation effect can block the moisture conduction path. The supporting frame 4 forms an air buffer layer between the planting area inside the supporting frame 4 and the roof structure layer through the open bottom frame, avoiding the soil moisture in the planting box 5 from directly penetrating to the main body of the building; (2) This design can utilize the natural wind in the mountain area to form a through airflow, accelerate the air exchange between the bottom of the supporting frame 4 and the indoor and outdoor areas, and improve the evaporation rate of condensate; (3) The stilt-style structure keeps the planting box 5 at a certain distance from the building facade, avoiding the high humidity air generated by plant transpiration from directly contacting the wall, effectively alleviating the pain point of wooden buildings being prone to moisture deformation under the rainy climate of Guibei.
[0054] Due to the unique structure of sloping roofs in the mountainous areas of northern Guangxi, conventional green wall technology faces a conflict between structural load and fixing methods. Traditional green walls often employ planar modular assembly, relying on anchor bolts to fix the walls vertically. However, the purlins of sloping roofs are distributed at an angle and have lower structural load limits; direct installation would lead to module slippage or exceeding the roof's load-bearing capacity. Therefore, taking a load-bearing frame 4 as an example, specifically... Figure 3 As shown, the supporting frame 4 in this embodiment includes a partition 401 and a connecting plate 402. The partition 401 divides the supporting frame 4 into a fixed planting section and a deformable section from top to bottom. The fixed planting section includes a box 6 welded to the top of the partition 401. The partition 401 is hinged to the connecting plate 402 through the deformable section. The deformable section includes an extension connector 7 fixedly connected to the bottom of the partition 401 and several telescopic connectors 8. The extension connector 7 includes an extension rod 701. One end of each extension rod 701 is welded to the bottom of the partition 401, and the other end of each extension rod 701 is hinged to the connecting plate 402 through a hinge seat. Each telescopic connector 8 includes a telescopic connecting rod. 801, the moving parts of the telescopic connecting rod 801 are all welded to the bottom of the partition 401, and the fixed parts of the telescopic connecting rod 801 are all hinged to the connecting plate 402 through hinge seats; in this structure, a set of extension rods 701 serve as the main support components, one end of which is welded and fixed to the bottom of the partition 401, and the other end forms a rotating pair with the connecting plate 402 through a hinge seat with a bearing, allowing the partition 401 to pitch and rotate around the hinge axis; the telescopic connecting rod 801 serves as a synchronous adjustment unit; this design lays the foundation for the partition 401 to be steplessly adjusted according to the actual tilt angle of the sloping roof, ultimately keeping the box 6 of the fixed planting part in a horizontal position.
[0055] Based on the fact that the partition plate 401 and the connecting plate 402 can swing relative to each other, this embodiment designs that the bearing frame 4 is equipped with an angle acquisition component for acquiring the tilt angle of the bearing frame 4, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the tilt acquisition component includes a tilt sensor 9 fixedly connected to the side wall of the partition 401 by bolts. The tilt sensor 9 is used to acquire the angle between the partition 401 and the horizontal plane. The tilt sensor 9 calculates the real-time angle between the partition 401 and the horizontal plane by detecting the change in the component of gravitational acceleration on its sensitive axis. The bottom of the support frame 4 is equipped with a drive adjustment component for adjusting the attitude of the support frame 4. The drive adjustment component includes an electric cylinder 10 hinged to the connecting plate 402 via a hinge seat. The output shaft of the electric cylinder 10 is hinged to the bottom of the partition 401 via a connecting rod. The electric cylinder 10 is signal-connected to a control system, and the tilt sensor 9 is signal-connected to the control system.
[0056] Based on the above design, after the connecting plate 402 is fixed to the top frame 102, the tilt sensor 9 on the side wall of the partition 401 collects the angle data between it and the horizontal plane in real time and transmits it to the control system. If the control system detects that the angle exceeds 0.5°, it immediately sends a drive signal to the electric cylinder 10 to drive the partition 401 to adjust its pitch around the extension rod 701. The telescopic connecting rod 801 performs swing compensation in sync to ensure that the partition 401 always maintains stable movement until the tilt sensor 9 returns the angle to within the 0.5° error threshold. In terms of terrain adaptability, this design is compatible with the complex tilt angles of 25°-45° sloping roofs in the Guibei mountainous area. By replacing manual leveling with mechanical adjustment, installation efficiency is improved by more than 60%. Regarding planting stability, the design ensures that the fixed planting box 6 always maintains a horizontal posture, avoiding uneven soil moisture caused by water accumulation on the slope and reducing the problem of oxygen deficiency in plant roots. In terms of structural safety, the progressive thrust of the electric cylinder 10, combined with the flexible connection of the hinge seat, can buffer structural vibrations under strong wind loads in mountainous areas and reduce the risk of fatigue damage to the roof purlins. From the perspective of operation and maintenance convenience, the fully automated adjustment design reduces manual intervention, especially adapting to the real pain points of rugged terrain and high manual maintenance costs in the Guibei mountainous area, providing key technical support for the large-scale application of green walls on sloping roofs.
[0057] In addition, the special feature is that the design expands the area of the bottom of the partition 401 by adjusting the angle of the partition 401. This has the following advantages: (1) When the partition 401 is raised, the bottom area of the partition is expanded, so that the total weight of the device is evenly transferred to the roof purlins through the connecting plate 402, the surface load is reduced, and the deformation of the purlins or cracking of the roof panel caused by local stress concentration is avoided; (2) The change of the air gap can form an air gap, which, together with the natural wind in the mountainous area, forms a "chimney effect" and the characteristics of the green planting itself. In summer, it can reduce the surface temperature of the roof by 8-12℃ and reduce the cracks in the roof structure caused by thermal expansion and contraction. In winter, the air insulation layer reduces the heat exchange between indoor and outdoor areas, improves the roof insulation performance, and indirectly reduces the energy load of the original building. (3) The elevated design keeps the device in a non-direct connection with the roof, avoiding the risk of the traditional green wall puncturing the roof waterproof layer; at the same time, the expanded operating space facilitates regular maintenance of the original building roof (such as waterproofing and repair, tile replacement), without the need to disassemble the green wall components, reducing the secondary damage rate of the building body, and is especially suitable for the protection needs of traditional wooden sloping roofs in the Guibei mountainous area.
[0058] Specifically, such as Figure 5As shown, a top plate 11 covering the top of the box 6 is provided above the partition 401. Several telescopic limiting rods 12 perpendicular to the connecting plate 402 are vertically welded to both sides of the top plate 11. Each telescopic limiting rod 12 includes an outer cylinder 121 and an inner rod 122 slidably connected to each other. The top end of the inner rod 122 is fused to the top plate 11. The bottom end of the outer cylinder 121 is slidably connected to the surface of the connecting plate 402 via a slider groove structure. Each inner rod 122 has a limiting hole 13 corresponding to the height of the partition 401. A limiting pin is provided in each limiting hole 13, which connects the height of the inner rod 122 to the height of the partition 401. The telescopic limiting rod 12's outer cylinder 121 and inner rod 122 slide together, allowing for free adjustment of the horizontal distance along the surface of the connecting plate 402 via a slider groove structure. This, combined with the limiting pin inserted into the limiting hole 13 of the inner rod 122, enables stepless adjustment of the top plate 11's height. Since the limiting rod is perpendicular to both the top plate 11 and the connecting plate 402, when the device is installed on a sloping roof, the extension length of the limiting rods on both sides adjusts synchronously during the adjustment of the partition 401's level, ensuring that the bottom surface of the top plate 11 remains parallel to the connecting plate 402. This accurately replicates the original roof's slope angle on the planting device. In terms of drainage performance, the top plate 11 forms a natural drainage slope with the roof's gradient, ensuring that rainwater runoff velocity matches the original roof and preventing increased structural load due to water accumulation. The improved aesthetics are reflected in the device's top forming an integrated sloping surface with the roof, visually concealing the planting system within the original sloping roof form, thus meeting the requirements for preserving the traditional village landscape of northern Guangxi.
[0059] Each load-bearing frame 4 is equipped with a rainwater collection and irrigation system. The system includes a water storage tank 14 welded to the partition 401, and a water collection trough 15 welded to one end of the top plate 11. The water collection trough 15 is connected to the water storage tank 14 via a flexible hose. The design of the water collection trough 15 efficiently collects rainwater runoff from the roof and then directs it into the water storage tank 14 for natural rainfall storage. A water level sensor is fixedly connected inside the water storage tank 14. The water level sensor monitors the water level in real time, and when the water level is low, it triggers the control system to issue a water replenishment warning to avoid irrigation interruptions during drought periods. A water supply component 16 is welded to one side of the water storage tank 14. The water supply component 16 includes a main pipe and several branch pipes. The branch pipes are connected to several planting boxes 5 respectively. A signal valve is fixedly connected to the connection between the water storage tank 14 and the main pipe by a snap fastener. The signal valve is connected to the control system. The control system is designed to send switching commands to the signal valve, so that the rainwater in the water storage tank 14 is distributed to each branch pipe through the main pipe and injected into the corresponding planting box 5. This not only realizes the efficient use of rainwater resources, but also avoids the subjective error of artificial irrigation, improves the uniformity of plant irrigation, and reduces the need for modification of the original water supply and drainage system of the building.
[0060] Based on the aforementioned rainwater harvesting and irrigation principles, and to further improve the precision of green plant planting, this embodiment designs an environmental monitoring component within the supporting frame 4 for collecting temperature and humidity data of the planting environment. This component includes several soil moisture sensors, each bolted to a corresponding planting box 5. All soil moisture sensors are connected to the control system. The sensors collect real-time soil moisture content data from each planting box 5 and feed it back to the control system. The system automatically starts and stops the signal valves according to a preset humidity threshold, achieving precise irrigation on demand.
[0061] The facade planting unit 2 has the same structural design as the roof planting unit 3. In the facade planting unit 2, several planting boxes 5 are replaced with several planting pots hanging on the surface of the partition 401. The modular facade planting unit 2, through adjustable hanging angle and lightweight design, can flexibly arrange planting pots under limited light conditions blocked by eaves, improve the utilization rate of vertical space green plants for diffused light, and adapt to the ecological planting needs of complex building facades in the Guibei mountainous area.
[0062] Example 2:
[0063] As attached Figure 5 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that the environmental monitoring component also includes a temperature sensor fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box 6. A sprinkler for spraying irrigation green plants is also connected to one side of the water storage tank 14. The sprinkler includes a nozzle and a pump. The pump is preferably a Prandy miniature diaphragm water pump. The diaphragm water pump is connected to the water storage tank 14 through a pipe. The end of the diaphragm water pump away from the water storage tank 14 is connected to the nozzle through a hose. The temperature sensor monitors the air temperature inside the box 6 in real time. When the detected value exceeds the preset threshold, the control system immediately sends a mode drive signal. The mode switching logic is to close the main signal valve (cut off the drip irrigation path) and simultaneously start the diaphragm water pump of the sprinkler. The rainwater in the water storage tank 14 is pressurized by the diaphragm water pump and then transported to the nozzle through the hose to form a cold mist environment covering the entire area of the box 6, while simultaneously meeting the irrigation needs. After the cooling is completed, the control system automatically switches back to the drip irrigation mode.
[0064] Example 3:
[0065] As attached Figure 6 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 2 is that the control system includes a tilt adaptation adjustment module, an irrigation module, a growth environment adjustment module, and a drought alarm module.
[0066] The tilt adaptation adjustment module uses tilt sensor 9 to collect real-time data on the angle between partition 401 and the horizontal plane, and analyzes the collected real-time tilt angle. When |real-time tilt angle| > 0.5°, it generates an adjustment command for the extension / retraction of electric cylinder 10, sends the adjustment command to electric cylinder 10, and drives the telescopic connecting rod 801 and extension rod 701 to work together to adjust partition 401 to a horizontal state. Through closed-loop feedback control of tilt sensor 9 and electric cylinder 10, the horizontality of partition 401 is dynamically corrected, ensuring that the surface of the planting substrate always remains horizontal, avoiding local water accumulation or substrate loss caused by the tilt of the roof, and reducing the risk of structural overturning caused by the shift of the device's center of gravity.
[0067] The irrigation module collects soil moisture data from the root zone in the planting box 5 or planting pot using a soil moisture sensor. It compares the real-time moisture value with a preset optimal soil moisture threshold. When the real-time moisture value is less than the preset optimal soil moisture threshold, irrigation is triggered. Simultaneously, data from the water level sensor in the water storage tank 14 is used to generate an irrigation duration command. The control signal valve opens based on the irrigation duration and irrigation demand. This design employs a dual-parameter linkage logic of soil moisture and water level. Irrigation is precisely triggered by root zone moisture, and the irrigation duration is dynamically adjusted based on the water level in the water storage tank 14. This satisfies the plant's water requirements (avoiding waterlogging or drought) while achieving efficient tiered utilization of water resources.
[0068] The growth environment regulation module collects the real-time temperature inside the chamber 6 via a temperature sensor and compares it with a preset plant overheating threshold. When the real-time temperature exceeds the preset plant overheating threshold, a misting cooling command is generated and sent to the irrigation module, which then sends the signal originally intended for the signal valve to the sprinkler system. This temperature data enables intelligent switching of irrigation modes, upgrading the sprinkler function from "single water delivery irrigation" to a composite system of "mist cooling and water replenishment" under high-temperature stress. The evaporation and heat absorption of the mist droplets lowers the temperature inside the chamber 6, while simultaneously improving water utilization through leaf absorption.
[0069] The drought alarm module collects the real-time water level in the water storage tank 14 via a water level sensor and compares it with a preset warning threshold. The preset warning threshold is 15% of the total volume of the water storage tank 14. When the real-time water level is less than or equal to the threshold, a drought warning signal is generated, prompting the user to manually replenish irrigation water and suspending irrigation commands. This design prevents the diaphragm pump from running dry and wearing down (extending its service life by 2 times) while providing users with a sufficient window for water replenishment, avoiding physiological damage to plants caused by sudden drought.
[0070] The preset optimal soil moisture threshold and preset plant overheating threshold are both determined by the user based on the characteristics of the plant. This allows the user to independently set the humidity and temperature thresholds according to the plant characteristics (such as drought-tolerant / moisture-loving, tropical / temperate varieties), making the system adaptable to a variety of common horticultural plants and improving the device's versatility for diverse planting scenarios.
[0071] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
