[0021] Combined with Figures 1 to 3 A flower pot with an automatic watering function as shown, including an outer pot 1. An inner pot 2 for holding soil and flowers is provided inside the outer pot 1. Several first springs 3 are provided at the inner bottom of the outer pot 1. A placement plate 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the first springs 3. The inner pot 2 is placed on the placement plate 4. An annular water box 5 for watering is provided on the outer pot 1. A water storage cavity 51 is opened inside the annular water box 5. Several second springs 6 are fixedly installed at the top of the water storage cavity 51. A watering hole 7 is opened at the bottom of the water storage cavity 51. A water blocking valve 8 is inserted between the second spring 6 and the watering hole 7.

[0022] Among them, four fixed columns 9 are fixedly provided at equal angles at the inner bottom of the outer pot 1. Each fixed column 9 is sleeved with a first spring 3, and the first spring 3 is higher than the fixed column 9. Two opposite second springs 6 are fixedly installed at the top of the water storage cavity 51. A watering hole 7 corresponding to the second spring 6 is opened at the bottom of the water storage cavity 51. The water blocking valve 8 includes a hole plug 81 inserted into the watering hole 7. A guide post 82 is fixedly connected to the top of the hole plug 81. The guide post 82 is inserted into the second spring 6, and the second spring 6 is higher than the guide post 82. A push rod 83 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hole plug 81. A top rod 21 for pushing up the water blocking valve 8 is provided on the inner wall of the inner pot 2.

[0023] Working principle: When in use, the inner pot 2 is used to hold soil and plant flowers. When there is water in the inner pot 2, due to its large overall weight, the inner pot 2 placed on the placement plate 4 can compress the first spring 3 downward. When the water in the inner pot 2 is gradually consumed, the first spring 3 pushes the inner pot 2 upward. The ejector rod 21 provided on the inner wall of the inner pot 2 just pushes the push rod 83 above upward, thereby driving the water blocking valve 8 to move upward. As a result, the hole plug 81 moves upward and the watering hole 7 opens. The water in the annular water box 5 flows downward through the watering hole 7 and into the inner pot 2. When the water in the inner pot 2 gradually rises, its weight also increases, causing the inner pot 2 to move downward. As a result, the ejector rod 21 is disengaged from the push rod 83, and the second spring 6 pushes the water blocking valve 8 downward, so that the hole plug 81 blocks the watering hole 7 again. When in use as above, in order to enhance the sealing performance of the hole plug 81 to the watering hole 7, a sealing ring can be provided at the joint of the two, or other sealing means can be adopted.
