Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent agricultural equipment technology, specifically to an integrated intelligent flower maintenance machine. Background Technology
[0003] In recent years, my country's flower industry has shown a vigorous development trend. Data from the National Forestry and Grassland Administration shows that in 2022, the national flower planting area reached 1.49 million hectares, and the retail market size exceeded 225.476 billion yuan, making it a highly dynamic sub-sector of modern agriculture. With the rapid expansion of large-scale planting bases, urban landscaping, and greenhouses, traditional flower maintenance methods have gradually exposed many shortcomings, urgently requiring upgrades to intelligent technologies.
[0004] In traditional plant care, manual inspection is the most basic but also the most time-consuming and labor-intensive task. Gardeners need to walk among the flowers daily, observing the growth of each plant and recording data such as temperature, humidity, and soil moisture. For large-scale plantations, this work requires dozens or even hundreds of people simultaneously, resulting in high labor costs and low efficiency. For example, in the high temperatures of summer, flowers are prone to dehydration or heatstroke; if manual inspections are spaced more than a few hours apart, some flowers may wither due to lack of water. Furthermore, manually recorded data is often inaccurate and easily influenced by subjective judgment, failing to provide a reliable basis for scientific plant care.
[0005] Traditional maintenance lacks clear quantitative standards, with many operations relying on "experience-based judgment." For example, determining whether the soil needs watering is often based solely on the feel of inserting a finger into the soil; fertilization is also mostly done according to a rough ratio of "a handful of fertilizer to a bucket of water," lacking precise calculations. This ambiguity leads to significant differences in the growth of different batches of flowers, with the flowering period of the same variety potentially differing by several weeks, affecting bulk sales and the overall landscape effect. In pruning, manual operation is even more arbitrary; gardeners may prune according to their personal aesthetic preferences, failing to strictly adhere to the design drawings, resulting in inconsistent landscaping effects.
[0006] Flower cultivation is a labor-intensive industry, requiring a large number of young and middle-aged workers for heavy physical labor such as watering, fertilizing, and moving plants. However, with rapid urbanization, a large number of young rural laborers are migrating to cities, leaving fewer and fewer young people willing to stay in rural areas to engage in agriculture. This has led to a severe labor shortage in the flower cultivation industry. At the same time, the existing workforce is aging, with limited physical strength and learning ability, making it difficult for them to adapt to the promotion and application of new technologies and equipment. For example, many veteran flower growers find it difficult to operate smart devices and prefer to use traditional tools, which slows down the adoption of new technologies and further exacerbates the industry's lag.
[0007] Traditional flower care equipment still has some drawbacks, including:
[0008] 1) Limited functionality and poor coordination negatively impact maintenance effectiveness:
[0009] Traditional flower care equipment generally suffers from limited functionality. For example, automatic waterers can only water on a set time, while manual fertilizer applicators can only apply fertilizer, failing to coordinate watering, fertilizing, and environmental regulation. This functional fragmentation leads to a fragmented care process: for instance, ventilation equipment needs to be manually activated after watering to prevent waterlogging around the plant roots, but traditional equipment cannot perform this in conjunction, making it easy to miss steps and negatively impact plant growth; the timing and amount of watering and fertilizing are also difficult to precisely match, potentially leading to nutrient loss or uneven absorption.
[0010] 2) Insufficient environmental adaptability, making it difficult to meet diverse needs:
[0011] Traditional flower care equipment lacks environmental adaptability. Significant differences in temperature, humidity, and light between indoor and outdoor environments make it difficult for existing equipment to be precisely adapted, easily leading to deviations in care parameters. Complex terrain, such as the elevation differences in greenhouses and the slopes of gardens, makes equipment movement difficult, and the slope significantly increases the failure rate. Furthermore, the fixed design of the equipment cannot flexibly address the care needs of different flower varieties, and it is easily damaged in special environments such as high humidity and dust. This limits its applicability and practicality, making it unsuitable for diverse scenarios such as home balconies and large-scale planting bases.
[0012] 3) Insufficient intelligence, relying on frequent manual adjustments:
[0013] The "intelligent" features of traditional plant maintenance equipment are mostly limited to simple timer functions. They lack the ability to perceive environmental changes and make autonomous decisions: the equipment can only perform operations such as watering and turning on lights according to preset times, unable to perceive changes in environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, and soil fertility in real time. For example, it might continue watering according to the original schedule on rainy days, leading to waterlogging at the plant roots. Users need to manually input parameters such as plant variety and growth stage; for users lacking professional knowledge, incorrect parameter settings can actually exacerbate maintenance problems, and frequent manual adjustments increase the user's workload.
[0014] To address the aforementioned drawbacks, there is an urgent need for an integrated intelligent flower care machine to lower the barrier to gardening and save time and effort. Summary of the Invention
