[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, an intelligent irrigation controller that can be used for a three-dimensional flower wall includes a waterproof box, three circuit boards, a transformer, a main switch, and a communication antenna. The three circuit boards are the main control board, the interface board, and the light board. The main control board is the core control board and is placed in the waterproof box and connected to the main bracket through the waterproof box. The waterproof box has threading holes for cables connected to the main control board. The threading holes are sealed with sealant to ensure the waterproofness of the main control board. The main control board is equipped with a single-chip microcomputer, a power management module, a communication module, a switch interface circuit, an indicator light interface circuit, a signal processing circuit, and an output drive circuit. The power management module, communication module, switch interface circuit, indicator light interface circuit, signal processing circuit, and output drive circuit are all electrically connected to the single-chip microcomputer. The single-chip microcomputer can use a 51 series single-chip microcomputer or an STM32 single-chip microcomputer.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the interface board is provided with a power interface, an input signal interface and an output signal interface. The power interface uses a 3P interface, including an ACL interface, an ACN interface and a PE interface. The power interface is used to connect a 220V external power supply. The input end of the transformer is electrically connected to the power interface, and the external power supply is connected to the transformer through the power interface. A main switch is provided between the input end of the transformer and the power interface. The main switch is used to control the on and off of the circuit between the transformer and the power interface. The output end of the transformer is electrically connected to the power management module. The transformer reduces the 220V power supply to 24V power and provides it to the main control board through the power management module or the power management circuit for use by the electrical components installed on the main control board.
