Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of plant cultivation devices and relates to an automatic water level control type energy-saving and air-supplementing plant maintenance device based on a siphon effect. Background Art

[0002] In the fast-paced modern world, potted plants, with their unique charm, have become a popular choice for many urbanites to relax and add interest to their lives. They not only decorate spaces and purify the air, but also subtly enhance our moods, bringing a touch of tranquility and greenery to our busy lives. However, with the accelerating pace of urban life, many plant enthusiasts face a significant challenge in maintaining these green plants scientifically and rationally within limited time and energy. This is especially true for plants that require specific water management, such as orchids, whose growth is closely linked to precise watering. These plants often require regular irrigation at fresh, optimal water levels to promote healthy root development and efficient nutrient absorption. However, traditional manual watering methods require not only frequent monitoring of soil moisture and plant condition, but also precise control of watering volume and frequency. This tedious and time-consuming process places a significant burden on plant enthusiasts. Especially in the fast-paced urban world, it is often difficult to ensure timely and accurate watering of plants, resulting in uneven growth and even withering and death due to improper water management.

[0003] To meet this challenge, a variety of automatic watering devices have appeared on the market, aiming to reduce the frequency and difficulty of manual watering through technical means. However, these existing devices still have many shortcomings in terms of functionality and intelligence. Most automatic watering devices can only achieve simple timed watering functions and lack the ability to automatically adjust the water level according to the actual water needs of the plants or environmental changes. In addition, existing automatic watering devices also have obvious shortcomings in water quality management. Because the water source inside the device is stationary for a long time (the oxygen content in the water cannot be automatically replenished), it is easy to breed bacteria and accumulate impurities, causing the water quality to deteriorate, which in turn affects the growth and health of the plants. Therefore, users need to manually replace the water source regularly to keep the water quality clean. This requirement not only increases the user's maintenance workload, but may also cause damage to the plants due to forgetting to change the water source.

[0004] In summary, existing automatic watering devices still have many problems to be solved in terms of controlling the irrigation water level, maintaining the water level, and managing water quality (they cannot automatically replenish the oxygen content in the water). Therefore, the development of a new automatic watering plant cultivation device is particularly urgent. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic water level controlled energy-saving and air-supplementing plant maintenance device based on the siphon effect, so as to effectively solve the problem that the existing automatic watering device cannot automatically overflow due to excessive watering, maintain the water level, and automatically replenish the oxygen content in the water.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] An automatic water level control type energy-saving and air-supplementing plant maintenance device based on the siphon effect, comprising a flower pot, a water tank, a submersible pump, and a water pipe, wherein the flower pot is arranged above the water tank, and both ends of the water pipe pass through the flower pot and are inserted into the water tank. The water pipe is in an inverted U shape, and the top of the water pipe is located in the flower pot. A water pipe hole is provided at the top of the water pipe, and the water pipes located on both sides of the water pipe hole serve as an upper water pipe and a lower water pipe respectively. The submersible pump is arranged in the water pipe at one end opening on the upper water pipe;

[0008] A watering port is provided on the water supply pipe, and the watering port is located at the bottom of the flower pot.

This design not only reduces the energy consumption of additional aeration equipment, but also enhances the plant's root system's respiration and healthy growth, further improving the plant's maintenance effectiveness. Furthermore, the submersible pump operates only when needed, reducing overall energy consumption and embodying a green and energy-saving design philosophy.

[0015] Finally, this device boasts a rational structural design, strong practicality, and easy adoption. The flowerpot and water tank are detachably connected via a connecting plate, allowing for flexible assembly and adjustment based on user needs. The rational layout of the water pipes, particularly the design of the upper and lower water pipes, not only achieves efficient water recycling but also ensures the stability and reliability of the device's operation. Furthermore, the placement of the water injection holes facilitates daily water addition and maintenance, making the entire device more user-friendly and suitable for plant care in a variety of settings, including homes and offices.

[0023] See also Figure 1 , is an automatic water level controlled energy-saving and air-supplementing plant maintenance device based on the siphon effect, comprising a flower pot 1, a water tank 2, a submersible pump 3 and a water pipe. The flower pot 1 is arranged above the water tank 2, the water pipe is in an inverted U shape, and both end openings of the water pipe pass through the bottom of the flower pot 1 and are inserted into the water tank 2, and a water pipe hole 6 is provided at the top of the water pipe, and the top of the water pipe is located in the flower pot 1, and the water pipes located on both sides of the water pipe hole 6 are respectively used as an upper water pipe 4 and a lower water pipe 5, the submersible pump 3 is arranged at one end opening of the water pipe on the upper water pipe 4, and a watering port 7 is provided on the upper water pipe 4, and the watering port 7 is located at the bottom of the flower pot 1.

[0024] Specifically, the flowerpot 1 is used for growing plants, and the water tank 2 is filled with water for watering the plants.

[0025] The working principle of the automatic water level control energy-saving aeration plant maintenance device based on the siphon effect is as follows:

[0026] When the plants need watering, the submersible pump 3 is in working condition, and the submersible pump 3 pumps out the water in the water tank 2 through the upper water pipe 4, part of which is poured into the flower pot 1 through the watering port 7, and the other part returns to the water tank 2 through the water pipe hole 6 and the downpipe 5 in turn. In this state, the water flow through the upper water pipe 4 below the watering port is greater than the water flow in the downpipe 5, so that the water level in the flower pot 1 rises, and the plants are immersed in water; and in this process, some air will accompany the circulating water through the water pipe hole 6 and the downpipe 5 in turn and return to the water tank 2, thereby realizing the aeration of the water in the water tank 2 and achieving the purpose of increasing the oxygen content of the water in the water tank 2, so that the recycled water has a higher oxygen content, which is more conducive to the healthy growth of plants.

[0027] During the watering process, when the water level in the flowerpot just submerges the water pipe hole 6, a siphon effect occurs, causing the water in the flowerpot 1 to flow through the water pipe hole 6 and into the downpipe 5. At this time, the water flow through the upper water pipe 4 is less than the water flow in the downpipe 5, and the water in the flowerpot 1 quickly flows through the water pipe hole 6 and the downpipe 5 back into the water tank 2, causing the water level in the flowerpot 1 to begin to drop. When the water level in the flowerpot 1 drops and exposes the water pipe hole 6, the siphon effect is broken, and the water flow through the upper water pipe 4 is greater than the water flow in the downpipe 5, causing the water level in the flowerpot 1 to rise. This cycle repeats, achieving the function of watering to the preset water level, which is the height of the water pipe hole 6. When the plants no longer need to be irrigated, the submersible pump 3 stops working, and the water in the flowerpot 1 flows back into the water tank 2 through the watering port 7 and the upper water pipe 4.

[0028] Preferably, a water injection hole is further provided on the upper portion of the water tank 2 so as to add water to the water tank 2 when the water tank 2 is short of water. In another embodiment, water can also be added to the water tank by directly adding water to the flower pot.

[0029] Preferably, the opening at one end of the water pipe located on the upper water pipe 4 is arranged at the bottom of the water tank 2 so that the water in the water tank 2 can be fully utilized.

[0030] Furthermore, the flowerpot 1 is arranged directly above the water tank 2, and a connecting plate 8 is provided between the flowerpot 1 and the water tank 2. The flowerpot 1 and the water tank 2 are both detachably connected to the connecting plate 8; and a through hole for the water pipe to pass through is provided on the connecting plate 8.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model and are not limiting. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
