[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.
[0027] A solar-powered smart flowerpot, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a basin 1, inside which is a detachably connected inner shell 2. There is a gap between the inner shell 2 and the bottom wall of the basin 1, forming a first water storage cavity 3 for storing water. The bottom of the inner shell 2 is provided with an overflow hole 4 that communicates with the first water storage cavity 3. A column 5 is vertically provided on the bottom wall of the inner shell 2. The overflow hole 4 is vertically provided on the column 5 and has both ends through it. In this way, when there is too much water in the inner shell 2 during actual use, the excess water can flow into the first water storage cavity 3 through the overflow hole 4, and there will be no water flowing out of the basin 1, keeping the outside clean.
[0028] like Figures 2-3 As shown, a support plate 6 is placed inside the inner shell 2, and multiple support columns 7 are distributed at the bottom of the support plate 6. The support plate 6 is placed inside the inner shell 2 with the help of the support columns 7, thus forming a second water storage cavity 8 below the support plate 6 and a planting area 9 for planting above the support plate 6. Multiple drainage holes 10 are opened on the support plate 6. In actual use, the soil is above the support plate 6, and the water can leak down into the second water storage cavity 8 through the drainage holes 10 for storage. In this way, the water at the bottom is separated from the soil with the help of the support plate 6, avoiding the root of the plant from being soaked in water for a long time, which can easily lead to root rot.
[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a recessed groove 11 is also provided on the support plate 6. Multiple evenly distributed drainage channels 12 are provided on the side wall of the groove 11. The drainage channels 12 connect the groove 11 and the second water storage chamber 8. The groove 11 provides more space for the roots to extend downward, and the roots can also absorb water from the second water storage chamber 8 through the drainage channels 12, so that the plant can grow better. The support column 7 is hollow inside and forms a vertical groove 13. The vertical groove 13 is not connected to the second water storage chamber 8. The vertical groove 13 can provide more space for the plant roots to extend downward.
[0030] like Figures 1-4As shown, a ring 14 is detachably connected to the top opening of the pot body 1. A ring groove 15 is formed at the top of the ring 14, which surrounds the opening of the pot body 1. The ring groove 15 is used to install a light strip, and a cover 16 is placed on top of the ring groove 15. The cover 16 is made of transparent plastic and can protect the light strip inside. The internal light can be emitted through the cover 16, so that the flower pot has both decorative and lighting functions at night. This makes the flower pot more than just a single function, but has more functions and is more practical.
[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a controller 17 electrically connected to the light strip. The controller 17 is used to control the opening and closing of the light strip. A photovoltaic panel 18 and a storage battery 19 are fixedly installed on one side of the controller 17. The storage battery 19 is electrically connected to the photovoltaic panel 18 and the controller 17. During the day, the photovoltaic panel 18 collects solar energy and converts it into electrical energy, which is stored in the storage battery 19. The storage battery 19 can supply power to the light strip, realizing the self-sufficiency of the light strip's power, which is more environmentally friendly and energy-saving. A button 20 is provided on the controller 17 to control the opening and closing of the light strip. People only need to operate the button 20 to control the opening and closing of the light strip, which is simple and convenient. In addition, a plug 21 is hinged to the controller 17. The bottom end of the plug 21 is tapered. In actual use, the plug 21 can be inserted into the soil in the planting area 9 for fixation, and the angle can be adjusted by flipping, so that the photovoltaic panel 18 can better collect light energy.
[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the support plate 6 has a notch at one corner, forming an installation groove 22 for installing a water level gauge. In actual use, a water level gauge can be installed in the installation groove 22. With the help of the water level gauge, the water level in the flowerpot can be known in real time, and it can be dealt with in time when there is too much water inside. In other embodiments, a water level sensor can also be installed in the installation groove 22. The water level sensor is electrically connected to the controller 17, and an alarm is set on the controller 17. When the water level sensor senses a signal that the water level is too high, the controller 17 controls the alarm to sound, so that people can deal with it in time, thereby ensuring that the plant can grow well.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the top of the basin 1 has a concave hand groove 23, and the ring 14 has a convex protrusion 24 above the hand groove 23. In actual use, when the ring 14 needs to be removed, it can be held in the hand groove 23 and then pulled up by the protrusion 24, which facilitates the installation and removal of the ring 14.
[0034] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a hook part 25 is provided at the top of the inner shell 2, and a vertical connecting rod 26 is provided at the bottom of the ring 14. The hook part 25 is connected to the connecting rod 26, so that the inner shell 2 and the ring 14 are connected into a whole. In actual use, when the ring 14 is moved up and disassembled, the inner shell 2 can be disassembled and assembled at the same time, which is more convenient and quick.
[0035] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
