Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of containers, such as flower pots or flower boxes; and particularly relates to an intelligent seedling tray device for indoor planting. Background Technology
[0002] Flower trays are not only devices for cultivating seedlings and flowers in gardens. Most existing seedling trays are made of PET material, which is relatively soft. Although the production cost is low, the durability is poor and they are easily deformed. In particular, the edges of the planting holes on the sides and bottom are not strong enough and are very easy to dent, which causes many inconveniences when using them.
[0003] To improve the efficiency of seedling and flowering, seedlings cultivated in flower trays require timely watering, drainage, and supplemental lighting. Traditional seedling cultivation methods involve placing seedling trays on seedling racks, with water pipes typically in fixed positions. This results in seedlings closer to the tray absorbing excessive water, while those further away from the water pipes fail to receive sufficient moisture. Alfalfa seedlings require a lot of water, necessitating frequent watering. Prolonged watering in this manner leads to water waste. Furthermore, watering causes soil compaction, clogging the drainage holes at the bottom of the trays and slowing the drainage of excess water. This can cause root rot due to waterlogging, and supplemental lighting is also inefficient.
[0004] As the international situation deteriorates and nuclear war draws ever closer, ordinary people hope for a peaceful world. At the same time, they also need to consider how to survive and cultivate crops in a sealed environment if nuclear war breaks out or the Earth's environment deteriorates and normal survival on the ground becomes impossible. This is a direction that agricultural technicians need to consider. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention provides an intelligent seedling tray device for indoor planting. This intelligent seedling tray device integrates a microcontroller, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a supplemental lighting device, and a ventilation device on the seedling tray, so that the seedlings in the indoor planting room can achieve a cold light, warm light, and supplemental ventilation growth environment, enabling the seedlings to grow in the indoor planting room and improving the food supply capacity of the indoor planting room.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0018] like Figure 1-6 The present invention provides a schematic diagram of the structure of an intelligent seedling tray device for indoor planting. The intelligent seedling tray device for indoor planting includes a pot body 1, a plant planting area 2 and an electrical control area 3 on the pot body 1, a support 10 near one side of the pot body 1, a bracket 11 extending to the plant planting area 2 fixed on the top of the support 10, and a supplementary lighting area 19 for supplementing light to the plants in the plant planting area 2 and a supplementary air fan 12 for supplementing air to the plants in the plant planting area. The supplementary lighting area 19 includes a blue light area and a yellow light area for supplementary lighting. Blue light LER lamps are evenly distributed in the blue light area, and yellow light LER lamps are evenly distributed in the yellow light area. The electrical control area 3 includes a power supply, a control board connected to the power supply, and a display screen connected to the control board. The control board is equipped with a power supply module 20, a microcontroller chip 28, and voltage modules, data string sensor modules 22, panel touch modules 24, display panel button modules, and at least two relay modules 27, all of which are connected to the microcontroller chip 28. The basin 1 is equipped with a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor connected to the data string sensor module 22; The supplementary light and supplementary fan 12 are respectively connected to the relay module 27.
[0019] This embodiment features a bracket at the top of the planting area in the pot, with blue light, yellow light, and airflow zones within the bracket. This intelligent seedling tray device for indoor planting can supplement blue light, yellow light, and airflow, enabling seedlings in enclosed or semi-enclosed environments to have their natural growth environment, sunlight, humidity, and airflow intelligently improved. This allows the seedlings to grow well, improves plant production conditions, and increases planting efficiency.
[0020] This embodiment uses 220V AC power and an AC-to-DC converter to directly charge a 12V lithium battery, or directly power the circuit board. A touch-sensitive master switch is located at the front end of the lithium battery. When the main power switch is clicked, the segment LCD screen, 51 microcontroller chip, and voice control motherboard are powered on and begin to operate.
[0021] The voice control system is activated by voice commands and uses dual-control relays to independently control the auxiliary lights, fan, and humidifier. When the auxiliary lights are turned off by voice command, the switch activates the human body sensor. When a person passes by the sensor, the auxiliary lights will turn on. When the person leaves, the lights will automatically turn off after a delay.
[0022] When the voice control system turns off the fan, oxygenation, and humidification, the timer and humidity control relays set by the 51 microcontroller chip will start working.
[0023] The 51 microcontroller passes the test, independently disables the timing function, and enables the voice control function of the bidirectional relay control module to start working.
[0024] When the main power is turned on, the LCD screen displays data collected by the 51 microcontroller chip, humidity sensor, and temperature sensor. The screen also displays the time, date, day of the week, battery level, and company logo. Humidity data is collected by the sensor and can be manually set between 0% and 99% to turn the humidifier on and off. Temperature is collected by the temperature sensor inside the humidifier basin and can be set between 0% and 60 degrees Celsius. The fan and light are timed, with four time periods controlled by hour, minute, and second. The main power is turned off, and the system automatically memorizes the data. The 51 microcontroller chip includes two reserved touch switches and a dual-control relay for backup.
[0025] It connects to the network via Bluetooth and can be remotely controlled via mobile phone. Users can view data for various functions, and also remotely control the power on and off, set timers, and adjust temperature and humidity settings.
