Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of daily planting and horticultural maintenance technology, and in particular to an intelligent automatic maintenance flowerpot that utilizes the Marshall bottle principle to achieve constant water level supply, combines multi-sensor detection and electroosmotic regulation of water supply, and uses a sliding rheostat to achieve precise temperature control and remote reminders. Background Technology

[0002] The maintenance of flowers and green plants is widespread in homes, offices, and public environments. The normal growth of plants is highly dependent on conditions such as water, temperature, and environmental humidity. Especially for potted plants, due to their limited soil volume, weak water retention capacity, and exposure to the external environment, water evaporates quickly and is significantly affected by environmental changes. If watering is not timely or the amount of water is not properly controlled, plants are prone to wilting due to water shortage or root rot due to waterlogging, which in turn affects the plant's growth status and even its survival rate.

[0003] In real life, users often struggle with the long-term, stable watering and environmental regulation of potted plants due to busy work schedules, frequent travel, or a lack of systematic maintenance experience, which negatively impacts plant care. Therefore, how to achieve stable control of water and the growing environment for potted plants through automation has become a key issue in the field of plant care.

[0004] To facilitate the explanation of the differences between the prior art and the technical solution of the present invention, the existing automatic maintenance flower pot and the technical solution of the present invention are compared and explained in terms of water supply method, water migration mechanism, evaporation control capability, temperature regulation method and system synergy, as shown in Table 1.

[0005]

[0006] In summary, existing automatic flowerpots and related intelligent maintenance devices still have shortcomings in terms of water supply stability, root zone water distribution regulation, and comprehensive management of the growth environment. On the one hand, traditional water supply methods based on gravity or capillary action are difficult to maintain a stable water supply throughout the entire maintenance cycle, easily causing fluctuations in the water content of the plant root zone. On the other hand, existing technologies generally focus on overall water replenishment or surface water supply, lacking the ability to precisely regulate the water status within the effective distribution range of the plant roots. When water is mainly concentrated in the soil surface or local areas, problems such as low root water absorption efficiency, localized drought, or water waste are likely to occur, making it difficult to achieve a balanced water supply within the root zone.

[0007] Meanwhile, existing solutions mainly rely on single parameters or simple on / off control to regulate growth conditions such as soil temperature and environmental temperature and humidity, lacking a coordinated regulation mechanism that is in line with the root zone water status. Especially in environments with large temperature variations or indoor air conditioning, it is difficult to provide stable and suitable growth conditions for plant roots.

[0008] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an intelligent automatic maintenance flowerpot with a reasonable structure and stable water supply, which can accurately regulate the water distribution within the range of plant roots while ensuring a constant basic water supply, and realize the linkage control of soil temperature and environmental parameters, so as to improve the automation level and reliability of potted plant maintenance. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems of unstable water supply levels, difficulty in accurately controlling water distribution within the effective range of the root system, and limited means of regulating the growth environment in existing automatic potted plant maintenance devices. The invention provides an intelligent automatic maintenance flowerpot based on constant water supply from a Marshall bottle and closed-loop linkage control with multiple sensors.

[0010] This flowerpot establishes a stable basic water supply level by introducing the Marshall bottle principle. Based on this, it combines electroosmotic regulation to actively adjust the direction and distribution of water migration within the effective distribution range of plant roots. It also collects soil moisture, soil temperature, and ambient temperature and humidity parameters in the root zone in real time through multiple sensors, and coordinates the control of water supply and temperature regulation. In this way, it provides more stable, precise and reliable growth conditions for potted plants under different environmental conditions and plant growth stages.

[0011] The solution of the present invention is:

[0012] The intelligent automatic maintenance flower pot based on constant water supply from a Marshall bottle and multi-sensor linkage includes a pot body assembly, a Marshall bottle device, a sensor detection system, an electroosmosis control device, a heating adjustment unit, and a control module.

[0013] Furthermore, the pot assembly includes a pot body and a pot bottom, the pot body and the pot bottom are connected to form a planting cavity for containing planting substrate, and a pot support is provided below the pot bottom to support and stabilize the overall structure, so that the flower pot maintains good stability during placement and use.

[0014] Furthermore, the Marshall bottle device is connected to the planting cavity, and the Marshall bottle device is provided with a Marshall tube structure inside, so that when the water volume in the bottle changes, the water supply level in the planting cavity can still be maintained within a preset height range without significant changes, thereby continuously providing a highly stable basic water supply to the plant root zone and forming a clear water supply boundary condition in the planting cavity.

[0015] Furthermore, the sensing and detection system includes at least a soil moisture detection unit and a soil temperature detection unit located within the effective distribution height range of the plant roots, for real-time acquisition of the soil moisture and temperature status in the plant root zone; in a preferred embodiment, the sensing and detection system also includes an environmental temperature and humidity detection unit, for collecting temperature and humidity parameters of the plant growth environment to provide data support for subsequent linkage control.

[0016] Furthermore, the electroosmotic control device includes a positive electrode and a negative electrode disposed within the planting cavity. The positive electrode and the negative electrode are arranged at intervals along the growth direction of the plant roots. When energized, they form an electric field with a clear direction inside the planting substrate, which drives water to migrate in the soil pores along a preset direction.

[0017] Furthermore, the heating adjustment unit is located inside or adjacent to the planting cavity and is used to heat and adjust the soil in the root zone of the plant. The heating adjustment unit is a heating device with continuously adjustable heating power to meet the temperature control requirements of the root zone under different environmental conditions and plant growth stages.

[0018] Furthermore, the control module is electrically connected to the sensing and detection system, the electroosmosis control device, and the heating adjustment unit, respectively, and is configured as follows: Based on the constant water level supply provided by the Marsh bottle device, the electroosmotic control device is controlled to form a directional electric field between the positive and negative electrodes according to the humidity parameters collected by the soil moisture detection unit. This causes water to migrate directionally from the water supply area to the effective range of the plant roots, thereby achieving active regulation of the water distribution in the root zone. Meanwhile, based on the parameters collected by the soil temperature detection unit and the ambient temperature and humidity detection unit, the power of the heating adjustment unit is adjusted to achieve continuous and precise control of the soil temperature in the plant root zone.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the intelligent automatic maintenance flowerpot further includes a water level detection device and a communication module. When the water level in the Marshall bottle is detected to be lower than a preset threshold, the control module sends a water-adding reminder message to the user terminal through the communication module to improve the ease of use and reliability of the system.

[0020] The positive effects of this invention are:

[0021] 1. For constant water supply needs, the Marsh bottle structure achieves constant water level supply, keeping the basic water supply level in the planting cavity stable throughout the entire maintenance cycle, avoiding fluctuations in water supply due to changes in water storage volume, and fundamentally improving the problem of uneven water supply in traditional water storage flower pots.

[0022] 2. This scheme achieves precise water supply within the effective range of plant roots. Based on constant water level supply, an electroosmotic control device is introduced to actively control the water migration process, so that water can migrate in a preset direction to the effective range of plant roots, avoiding excessive concentration of water in the soil surface or local areas, and improving the root system's water absorption efficiency.

[0023] 3. By reducing the surface moisture content of the soil and concentrating the water transport to the root zone, the amount of water in contact with the air on the soil surface is significantly reduced, thereby slowing down the rate of water evaporation, extending the water replenishment cycle, and improving the efficiency of water resource utilization.

[0024] 4. This solution achieves continuous and precise control of root zone temperature. By using multiple sensors to monitor soil temperature and ambient temperature and humidity in real time, and combined with a variable power heating adjustment unit, it enables continuous and stable regulation of plant root zone temperature, avoiding temperature fluctuations caused by traditional on / off temperature control, which is more conducive to healthy plant growth.

[0025] 5. This invention uses a control module to manage constant water level supply, directional water migration, and temperature regulation in a unified closed loop, achieving multi-parameter coordinated adjustment and significantly improving the automation level and system reliability of the potted plant maintenance process.

[0035] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples, further illustrates this patent.

[0036] Please see Figures 1-7 The intelligent automatic maintenance flowerpot based on constant water supply from a Marshall bottle and multi-sensor linkage includes a cylindrical pot body 1, a conical pot bottom 2, a Marshall bottle device 3, a snap-fit ​​pot support 4, a sensor detection system 5, an electroosmosis control device 6, a control module 7, a Marshall tube 8, a bottle opening 9, a water inlet 10 connected to the planting cavity, a first flexible hose 11, a water level detection device 12, a communication module 13, a user terminal 14, an environmental temperature and humidity detection unit 15, a soil temperature detection unit 16, a soil moisture detection unit 17, a positive electrode 18, a negative electrode 19, a heating adjustment unit 20, a transparent observation section 21, and a vent 22. The cylindrical pot body 1 and the conical pot bottom 2 are connected to form a planting cavity for containing the planting substrate. The snap-fit ​​pot support 4 is located below the conical pot bottom 2 to support and stabilize the overall structure of the flowerpot. The vent 22 is located on the side wall of the pot body or the side wall of the pot bottom to promote air exchange between the root zone and the outside environment and prevent root hypoxia caused by a long-term humid environment.

[0037] During the operation of the Marshall bottle water supply, by adjusting the height of the end of the Marshall tube 8 inside the bottle, the basic water supply level in the planting cavity can be limited to a preset root zone height range, thereby forming a constant water level supply structure that does not change with the amount of water in the bottle; and when the water level detection device 12 inside detects that the water level is lower than the threshold, the control module 7 sends a water replenishment reminder message to the user terminal 14 through the communication module 13.

[0038] During the electroosmosis process, a directional electric field is formed between the positive electrode 18 and the negative electrode 19, causing water to migrate directionally from the area near the water source to the plant root zone under constant water level supply boundary conditions, thus achieving precise water supply regulation against gravity.

[0039] During the root zone identification process, the sensing system 5, including the soil temperature detection unit 16 and the soil moisture detection unit 17, is electrically connected to the control module 7 to transmit real-time detection data to the control module 7 for threshold determination and linkage control. At the same time, when the control module 7 determines that the temperature is lower than the set threshold based on the root zone temperature parameters collected by the environmental temperature and humidity detection unit 15, the control module 7 controls the heating adjustment unit 20 to work, so that the root zone soil temperature is stably maintained within the range suitable for plant growth, avoiding temperature fluctuations caused by traditional on / off heating.

[0040] Further, such as Figure 1-4 The Marshall bottle device 3 is installed on the outside of the pot or in the pot support area, and is connected to the planting cavity through the first flexible tube 11. One end of the Marshall tube 8 is connected to the outside atmosphere, and the other end is inserted into the bottle and extends to a set height. By adjusting the height of the end of the Marshall tube 8 in the bottle, the basic water supply level in the planting cavity can be limited to a preset root zone height range, thereby forming a constant water supply structure that does not change with the amount of water in the bottle. A transparent observation section 21 is provided on the side wall of the Marshall bottle device 3 for direct observation of the water level. The bottle opening 9 is used to add water to the Marshall bottle device 3. The water inlet 10 delivers water to the planting cavity through the first flexible tube 11, so that a stable water source boundary condition is formed at the bottom of the planting cavity. A water level detection device 12 is provided at the bottom. When the water level is detected to be lower than a preset threshold, the control module 7 sends a water addition reminder message to the user terminal 14 through the communication module 13. The communication module 13 can use a SIM800 communication module, etc., to send a prompt message to a designated mobile phone number so that the user can replenish water in time and avoid the failure of constant water level water supply due to water shortage in the Maas bottle.

[0041] Please see Figure 5 , 6 When the control module 7 determines that the root zone humidity is lower than a preset threshold based on the root zone humidity parameters collected by the soil moisture detection unit 17, the control module 7 activates the electroosmotic regulation device 6. This creates a directional electric field between the positive electrode 18 and the negative electrode 19, causing water to migrate directionally from the area near the water source to the plant root zone under constant water level supply conditions, achieving precise water supply regulation against gravity. Because water is actively transported and concentrated within the root system's effective range, the surface soil moisture content is reduced, thereby reducing water evaporation caused by contact between the soil surface and air, improving water use efficiency, and extending the water replenishment cycle.

[0042] Please see Figure 3 , 67. The sensing and detection system 5 contains a soil moisture detection unit 17 and a soil temperature detection unit 16, located within the effective distribution height of the plant roots, for real-time collection of root zone soil moisture and temperature. An environmental temperature and humidity detection unit 15 is located on the outside of the pot or along its upper edge, for collecting external environmental temperature and humidity parameters. Each detection unit is electrically connected to the control module 7, transmitting real-time detection data to the control module 7 for threshold determination and linkage control. An internal heating adjustment unit 20 is located within or adjacent to the planting cavity. When the control module 7 determines that the temperature is below a set threshold based on the root zone temperature parameters collected by the soil temperature detection unit 16, the control module 7 controls the heating adjustment unit 20 to operate and adjusts the heating power in conjunction with the environmental parameters collected by the environmental temperature and humidity detection unit 15, so that the root zone soil temperature is stably maintained within a suitable range for plant growth, avoiding temperature fluctuations caused by traditional on / off heating.

[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
