Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of Phalaenopsis seedling raising, in particular to a Phalaenopsis seedling raising cup with adjustable height. Background Art

[0002] Phalaenopsis, also known as butterfly orchid, small tendon-connecting vine, golden ring grass, tendon-shrinking grass, and tendon-separating grass, is an evergreen herbaceous flower of the Orchidaceae family. Its origin is in tropical and subtropical regions. It is a perennial herb with many aerial roots clustered on the plant. The aerial roots are flat like ribbons with many wart-like protrusions on the surface. The stem is short, about 1 - 1.5 cm long. The leaves are clustered, oblong in shape, about 4 cm long and about 2 cm wide, with short sheaths at the base and obvious joints. When flowering, the leaves fall off, leaving only 1 - 2. The raceme of the flower sometimes branches, 2 - 20 cm long, with sparse flowers. The flower is pink or light purple, and the lip is purple, deeply divided into 3 parts, nearly cross-shaped.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , a height-adjustable Phalaenopsis seedling cup, including an installation base 1. A rotating outer cup 2 is rotatably installed on the top of the installation base 1. An inner seedling cup 3 is threadedly installed on the inner side wall of the rotating outer cup 2. An installation ring plate 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating outer cup 2. A sunshade 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the installation ring plate 4. An arc-shaped folded edge 51 is fixedly installed on the top of the sunshade 5. The arc-shaped folded edge 51 prevents the sunshade 5 from being too sharp and cutting people or plants. The Phalaenopsis is planted in the inner seedling cup 3, and the inner seedling cup 3 is threadedly installed inside the rotating outer cup 2. The height of the inner seedling cup 3 is adjusted as needed. When the sun shines directly on the Phalaenopsis, the rotating outer cup 2 is rotated to turn the sunshade 5 to the sunny side to block the sun and prevent the Phalaenopsis from being directly irradiated by the sun.

[0023] Meanwhile, a servo motor 6 is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the installation base 1, and the output end of the servo motor 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating outer cup 2. The servo motor 6 drives the rotating outer cup 2 to rotate to adjust the direction of the sunshade 5.

[0024] Among them, four sunlight sensors 7 are fixedly installed on the top of the installation base 1, and the four sunlight sensors 7 are distributed in four directions on the top of the installation base 1.

[0025] Secondly, a controller 8 is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the installation base 1, and the controller 8 is electrically connected to the servo motor 6 and the sunlight sensors 7. When one of the sunlight sensors 7 senses sunlight, it transmits a position signal to the controller 8, and the controller 8 controls the servo motor 6 to work, rotating the sunshade 5 to one side of this sunlight sensor 7.

[0026] Meanwhile, a temperature sensor 9 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the rotating outer cup 2, and a heater 10 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the rotating outer cup 2. Both the temperature sensor 9 and the heater 10 are electrically connected to the controller 8. The temperature sensor 9 detects the water temperature inside the rotating outer cup 2. When the water temperature is lower than five degrees, the heater 10 is controlled to turn on through the controller 8, and the heating stops after heating the water temperature to twenty degrees, preventing the phalaenopsis from dying due to low temperature.

[0027] Among them, a water leakage hole 11 is opened at the bottom of the seedling-growing inner cup 3, a limiting ring plate 12 is fixedly installed at the top of the seedling-growing inner cup 3, and a water level observation window 13 is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating outer cup 2. When water is poured into the seedling-growing inner cup 3, the excess water leaks into the rotating outer cup 2 through the water leakage hole 11 for storage, and the water level height is observed through the water level observation window 13 to prevent the bottom of the seedling-growing inner cup 3 from being flooded by excessive water addition.

[0028] Secondly, a humidity sensor 14 is fixedly installed inside the sunshade 5, and a buzzer alarm 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the installation base 1. Both the humidity sensor 14 and the buzzer alarm 15 are electrically connected to the controller 8. The humidity sensor 14 detects the humidity of the phalaenopsis growth environment. When the humidity is too low, the buzzer alarm 15 is controlled to turn on through the controller 8 to prompt the cultivator to water.

[0029] When this embodiment is in use, the direction of sunlight irradiation is detected by the sunlight sensors 7 in four directions, the rotating outer cup 2 is driven to rotate by the servo motor 6 to adjust the direction of the sunshade 5, blocking the sunlight directly hitting the phalaenopsis to prevent the phalaenopsis from being directly irradiated by sunlight. The water in the rotating outer cup 2 is heated by the heater 10 to prevent the temperature from being lower than five degrees in winter. The buzzer alarm 15 sounds when the humidity is low to prevent the cultivator from forgetting to water.

[0030] All electrical components mentioned in the text are electrically connected to the main controller and the power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer for control, and the existing publicly disclosed power connection technology will not be elaborated in the text.
