[0003] Traditional flower pots merely provide a container for plant growth. When placed on a balcony, they cannot adjust their angle of exposure to sunlight, resulting in plants only receiving light from one side and thus causing uneven growth. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an intelligent flowerpot structure, which aims to improve the problem that traditional flowerpots cannot adjust their angle of illumination according to the light, causing the plant to be illuminated only on one side, resulting in uneven growth of the plant in the flowerpot.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an intelligent flowerpot structure, including a pot body, an inner barrel inside the pot body, support legs evenly fixedly connected to the bottom of the pot body, light sensors evenly fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pot body, a fixing block fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the pot body, an annular limiting groove provided in the middle of the inner wall of the fixing block, a motor fixedly installed at the top of the inner wall of the fixing block, a first gear fixedly installed at the output end of the motor, a second gear meshing with the tooth end of the first gear, a rotating shaft fixedly connected to the middle of the second gear, the top of the rotating shaft rotatably connected to the top of the inner wall of the fixing block, an electric suction cup fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft, a limiting block fixedly connected to the outer wall of the electric suction cup, and the end of the limiting block away from the electric suction cup slidably connected to the inside of the annular limiting groove.

[0006] Preferably, a water spray pipe is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner wall of the basin, and a temperature and humidity sensor is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the basin.

[0007] Preferably, the inner wall of the basin is symmetrically provided with a first groove, and an electromagnet is provided inside the first groove of the basin.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the inner barrel is symmetrically provided with a second groove, and an iron sheet is fixedly connected inside the second groove of the inner barrel, and the iron sheet is in contact with the electromagnet.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the water spray pipe passes through the second through hole and is located in the middle of the inner tub, and the top of the temperature and humidity sensor passes through the first through hole and is located inside the inner tub.

[0011] Preferably, the basin has a water storage tank inside, a water inlet on one side of the basin, the water inlet of the basin is connected to the water storage tank, a check valve is provided on one side of the water inlet of the basin, a water pump is fixedly installed inside the water storage tank of the basin, and the output end of the water pump is fixedly installed at the other end of the spray pipe.

[0012] Preferably, a control panel is fixedly installed on the other side of the basin, and handles are symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner tub.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. In this utility model, an electric suction cup is used to attach the pot to the balcony, thereby limiting the pot to the balcony. The motor drives the first gear to rotate, which in turn drives the second gear and the rotating shaft to rotate. Since the electric suction cup is limited to the balcony, the fixing block rotates around the rotating shaft, which in turn drives the pot to rotate. As a result, the pot adjusts the angle of light exposure according to the light sensor, so that the plants inside the inner bucket grow evenly and enhance its aesthetics.

[0015] 2. In this utility model, an electromagnet is used to attract the iron sheet, which confines the inner bucket inside the pot, thereby limiting the position of the plant inside the inner bucket. This prevents the inner bucket from shaking or even falling out during daily handling and moving of the flower pot due to accidental collisions or tilting. An electric suction cup is used to hold the pot on the balcony by fixing blocks and a rotating shaft, preventing the pot from tipping over due to strong winds or other unexpected situations, which could damage the plant's root system and affect plant growth. At the same time, it also ensures the stability of the overall structure of the flower pot under various conditions.

[0016] 3. In this utility model, the temperature and humidity inside the inner bucket are monitored by a temperature and humidity sensor, and water from the water storage tank is sent to the inside of the inner bucket through a spray pipe by a water pump. This regulates the growth temperature and humidity of the plants inside the inner bucket, ensuring that the soil moisture is always within a suitable range for plant growth, thereby enhancing practicality and improving the convenience and intelligence of plant maintenance.

[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of an intelligent flowerpot structure, including a pot body 1, an inner barrel 2 inside the pot body 1, support legs 6 evenly fixedly connected to the bottom of the pot body 1, light sensors 4 evenly fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pot body 1, a fixing block 7 fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the pot body 1, an annular limiting groove 22 provided in the middle of the inner wall of the fixing block 7, a motor 16 fixedly installed at the top of the inner wall of the fixing block 7, a first gear 17 fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 16, a second gear 19 meshing with the tooth end of the first gear 17, a rotating shaft 18 fixedly connected to the middle of the second gear 19, the top of the rotating shaft 18 rotatably connected to the top of the inner wall of the fixing block 7, an electric suction cup 20 fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 18, a limiting block 21 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the electric suction cup 20, and the end of the limiting block 21 away from the electric suction cup 20 slidably connected to the inside of the annular limiting groove 22.

[0025] Specifically, the inner tub 2 allows for planting, while the support legs 6 support the entire pot. A light sensor 4 detects the light intensity around the pot 1. The electric suction cup 20 then adheres the pot to the balcony, securing it in place via the fixing block 7 and the rotating shaft 18. This prevents the pot 1 from tipping over due to strong winds or other unforeseen circumstances. The motor 16 drives the first gear 17, which in turn drives the second gear 19, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 18. The electric suction cup 20 also helps to keep the pot 1 in place. The suction cup 20 is fixed to the balcony, which causes the fixing block 7 to rotate around the pivot 18, and also causes the pot 1 to rotate. This allows the pot 1 to adjust its angle of illumination according to the light sensor 4, so that the plants inside the inner bucket 2 can grow evenly and enhance their aesthetics. This improves the problem that traditional flower pots cannot adjust their angle of illumination according to the light, resulting in uneven growth of plants in the pot. The annular limiting groove 22 limits the limiting block 21, making the fixing block 7 more stable when rotating.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-3 A water spray pipe 9 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner wall of the basin 1, and a temperature and humidity sensor 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the basin 1. A first groove 10 is symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the basin 1, and an electromagnet 11 is installed inside the first groove 10. A second groove 14 is symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the inner tub 2, and an iron sheet 15 is fixedly connected inside the second groove 14 of the inner tub 2, with the iron sheet 15 fitting against the electromagnet 11. A second through hole 13 is provided in the middle of the inner tub 2, and a first through hole 12 is provided on one side of the inner tub 2. One end of the water spray pipe 9 passes through the second through hole 13. Located in the middle of the inner tub 2, the top of the temperature and humidity sensor 8 passes through the first through hole 12 and is located inside the inner tub 2; the inside of the basin 1 is provided with a water storage tank 23, and a water inlet 25 is provided on one side of the basin 1. The water inlet 25 of the basin 1 is connected to the water storage tank 23. A check valve is provided on one side of the water inlet 25 of the basin 1. A water pump 24 is fixedly installed inside the water storage tank 23 of the basin 1. The output end of the water pump 24 is fixedly installed at the other end of the spray pipe 9; a control panel 5 is fixedly installed on the other side of the basin 1, and handles 3 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner tub 2.

[0027] Specifically, the operation of this intelligent flowerpot structure is controlled by the control panel 5. Users can set various parameters on the operation interface, such as the threshold for light adjustment, the suitable range of temperature and humidity, the watering interval and water volume, etc., to adapt to the needs of different plant species and growth stages. The temperature and humidity sensor 8 monitors the temperature and humidity inside the inner bucket 2. The operation of the electromagnet 11 generates a corresponding attraction, which attracts the iron plate 15, thereby limiting the inner bucket 2 inside the pot body 1. This limits the plants inside the inner bucket 2, preventing the inner bucket 2 from shaking or even falling off due to accidental collisions or tilting during daily handling and moving of the flowerpot, which could damage the plant's root system and affect plant growth. It also ensures the stability of the overall flowerpot structure under various conditions. The operation of the water pump 24 delivers water from the water storage tank 23 to the inner bucket 2 through the spray pipe 9, thereby regulating the growth temperature and humidity of the plants inside the inner bucket 2 and ensuring that the soil moisture is always within the suitable range for plant growth. This enhances practicality and improves the convenience and intelligence of plant maintenance.

[0028] Working principle: During use, plants are planted in the inner bucket 2. Then, the electromagnet 11 generates a suction force to attract the iron plate 15, confining the inner bucket 2 inside the pot 1. This confines the plant inside the inner bucket 2. The electric suction cup 20 then adheres to the balcony, thus securing the pot 1 to the balcony via the fixing block 7 and the rotating shaft 18. This prevents the pot 1 from tipping over due to strong winds or other unexpected situations. Finally, the light sensor 4 detects the light intensity around the pot 1, and the motor 16 drives the... The rotation of gear 17 drives the rotation of the second gear 19 and the rotating shaft 18. Since the electric suction cup 20 is fixed to the balcony, it drives the fixing block 7 to rotate around the rotating shaft 18, and drives the pot 1 to rotate. The pot 1 adjusts the angle of light exposure according to the light sensor 4, so that the plants inside the inner bucket 2 can grow evenly. At the same time, the temperature and humidity inside the inner bucket 2 are monitored by the temperature and humidity sensor 8. The water pump 24 sends the water in the water storage tank 23 to the inside of the inner bucket 2 through the water spray pipe 9, thereby regulating the growth temperature and humidity of the plants inside the inner bucket 2.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
