Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ginseng hydroponic technology, and in particular to a ginseng hydroponic control device based on a microcontroller. Background Technology
[0002] Ginseng, a perennial herb belonging to the genus Panax in the family Araliaceae, order Apiales, prefers shade. Its leaves lack stomata and palisade tissue, making it unable to retain water; temperatures above 32 degrees Celsius will scorch the leaves. It thrives in shady conditions with a canopy density of 0.7-0.8. It typically flowers after 3 years and bears fruit after 5-6 years, with flowering from May to June and fruiting from June to September. The root of ginseng is found in plants such as Korean ginseng, South China ginseng, and American ginseng. A key characteristic is the presence of ginsenosides and ginsenosides. Although ginseng has been used in traditional medicine for centuries, modern clinical research has not yet reached a definitive conclusion regarding its efficacy. There is no substantial evidence that ginseng is effective in treating any disease. While ginseng is commonly sold as a dietary supplement, inconsistent production practices exist.
[0003] Patent document CN221864007U discloses a ginseng hydroponic cultivation device, including a water container with an open top and a holding container detachably connected above the water container. Two partitions are arranged between adjacent holding containers, with a columnar connection hole for placing an atomizer formed in the center of the partitions. A ginseng fixing hole is provided at the bottom of the holding container. A detachable cover is provided above the water container on one side of the holding container, with a vent hole in the center of the cover and ventilation holes on both sides. An air pipe hole for inserting a conduit for an air supply mechanism is provided on the top side of the water container near the cover. This application solves the problem of ginseng growth restriction in potted ginseng, achieving stable and healthy ginseng cultivation in a water environment.
[0004] While the aforementioned application solves the problem of ginseng growth restriction in ginseng potted plants and enables stable and healthy ginseng cultivation in aquatic environments, it is inconvenient to adjust and install the device according to the size of the container during home cultivation in actual application, thus affecting the ease of installation and reducing the efficiency of the device.

[0036] Working principle: When in use, the component is clamped at the opening of the container, and then the ginseng plant is placed inside the limiting ring 16. The screw 800 is rotated so that one side of the clamp 801 is in contact with one side of the container. The temperature sensor 805 and the humidity sensor 4 serve as the core input modules of the microcontroller 6, which can capture and transmit relevant data of the surrounding environment to the microcontroller 6 in real time. After receiving the data, the microcontroller 6 will immediately perform efficient data processing and reflect the processing results on the display 7 in real time for the user to view at any time.
[0037] Meanwhile, in this system, the transistor is closely connected to the transformer module, and the base of the transistor is connected to the GPIO pin of the microcontroller 6, enabling the microcontroller 6 to precisely control the transistor through the GPIO pin.
[0038] In the program of microcontroller 6, an appropriate threshold range for environmental data is preset. Whenever microcontroller 6 receives environmental data from the sensor, it will quickly compare and analyze the data with the preset threshold. Based on the comparison results, microcontroller 6 will decide whether to output the corresponding voltage signal to the transistor through the GPIO pin.
[0039] When the microcontroller 6 determines that the environmental data exceeds or falls below the preset suitable range, it will immediately output a voltage signal to the base of the transistor, thereby triggering the transistor to turn on or off. This state change of the transistor will directly affect the working state of the transformer module. Specifically, when the transistor is on, the transformer module will start and provide the required power to the humidifier 5 and the oxygen pump 804, while when the transistor is off, the transformer module will stop working, and the humidifier 5 and the oxygen pump 804 will also be de-energized.
