Figures 1-4As shown, the system includes a movable base 1, a water storage tank 2 mounted on the base 1, and a flowerpot 3 detachably mounted on the water storage tank 2. The top of the water storage tank 2 has an opening and a filter plate 4 adapted to the opening. The flowerpot 3 is mounted on the filter plate 4, which provides support for the flowerpot 3, ensuring its stable installation on the upper part of the water storage tank 2. The system also includes a microcontroller 5, a spray nozzle 6 for spraying water into the flowerpot 3, a lifting mechanism 7 for driving the spray nozzle 6 to rise and fall, and a rotating mechanism 8 for driving the lifting mechanism 7 to move around the flowerpot 3. Water is supplied to the water supply mechanism 9 of the nozzle 6. The lifting mechanism 7, the rotating mechanism 8, and the water supply mechanism 9 are all electrically connected to and controlled by the microcontroller 5. Specifically, the microcontroller 5 can be a single-chip microcomputer of the C51 or C52 series. Through the cooperation of the water supply mechanism 9, the filter plate 4, and the nozzle 6, the water in the water storage tank 2 can be recycled. Through the cooperation of the lifting mechanism 7 and the rotating mechanism 8, the potted plants in the flowerpot 3 can be evenly watered and the potted plants can be sprayed from multiple angles, further improving the user's convenience and experience.

[0027] Preferably, an annular dam 10 extending downward is fixedly provided on the outer edge of the lower surface of the filter plate 4; when assembled, the outer wall of the annular dam 10 is in close contact with the inner wall of the water storage tank 2. In this embodiment, the outer contour of the annular dam 10 is adapted to the inner contour of the upper end of the water storage tank to ensure that the filter plate 4 is stably installed on the water storage tank 2 and to prevent the filter plate 4 from tilting and causing the flower pot 3 to tip over.

[0028] Preferably, the upper side wall of the water storage tank 2 is provided with a water inlet, and a micro electric valve 11 is provided on the water inlet to facilitate connection to an external water pipe for water replacement or replenishment. Furthermore, in order to prevent water from overflowing in the water storage tank when adding water, a liquid level sensor is provided on the inner wall of the water storage tank so that the micro controller can control the micro electric valve 11 to close in time.

[0029] Preferably, the water supply mechanism 9 includes a water pump 91 disposed in the water storage tank 2, and a water pipe module 92 connecting the water pump 91 and the nozzle 6. Further, the water pipe module 92 is disposed on the movable terminal of the rotating mechanism 8. The water pipe module 92 includes a horizontal rotating shaft 921 arranged radially along the rotation trajectory of the rotating mechanism 8, a winding motor 922 driving the rotating shaft 921 to rotate, and a rotary joint 923 coaxially disposed at one end of the rotating shaft 921 opposite to the winding motor 922. The rotating shaft 921 has a flow channel communicating with the rotary joint 923, and the rotating shaft 921 has a corresponding flow channel. The system is equipped with a water pipe connector 12. The outlet of the rotary connector 923 is connected to the nozzle 6 via a water outlet pipe 13. The water pipe connector 12 is connected to the outlet 911 of the water pump 91 via a connecting pipe 14 wound around the rotating shaft 921. The connecting pipe passes into the water storage tank 2 and its position in the water storage tank is higher than the position of the liquid level sensor. When the rotating mechanism 8 is activated, the connecting pipe 14 wound around the rotating shaft 921 can be wound and unwound with the cooperation of the winding motor 922, thereby ensuring continuous water supply during the circumferential movement of the nozzle 6 and preventing the connecting pipe 14 from being exposed.

[0030] When watering is performed, the water pump 91 pumps the water in the water storage tank 2 into the nozzle 6 through the connecting pipe 14, the rotary joint 923, and the outlet pipe 13, and sprays it out to water the plants. Excess water permeates through the filter plate 4 and flows back into the water storage tank 2 for use in the next watering. This not only achieves water circulation and saves resources, but also prevents the roots of the potted plants from being soaked in water and causing root rot.

[0031] Preferably, the rotating mechanism 8 includes an annular guide rail 81 disposed on the water storage tank 2, a drive shaft 82 radially disposed above the annular guide rail 81, and a drive gear 83 and a limiting block 84 vertically disposed on the drive shaft 82; the upper surface of the annular guide rail 81 is provided with teeth that are adapted to the drive gear 83, and is also provided with a limiting groove 15 for the lower end of the limiting block 84 to be inserted into. The limiting groove 15 is arranged circumferentially along the annular guide rail 81 and is annular. Specifically, the drive shaft passes through the limiting block and is rotatably connected to it in the longitudinal direction, and the lower end of the limiting block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 15.

[0032] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism 8 also includes a fixed frame 86 located on the outer side of the annular guide rail 81. A circumferential groove 16 is provided on the outer wall of the annular guide rail 81. A support bearing 17 adapted to the groove 16 is rotatably mounted longitudinally on the fixed frame 86. The rotating mechanism 8 also includes a drive unit 85 that drives the drive shaft 82 to rotate. The lifting mechanism and the water pipe module 92 are both mounted on the fixed frame 86 via a mounting shell 8a. The drive shaft is rotatably connected to the fixed frame. The mounting shell 8a forms the movable terminal of the rotating mechanism 8. The drive shaft... 82, drive gear 83, limit block 84, fixing frame 86, water pipe module 92 and micro controller 5 are all located inside the housing. The bottom of the housing is provided with a winding window 18 for the connecting pipe 14 to pass through, corresponding to the water pipe module 92. When the rotation requires the nozzle 6 to move, the fixing frame 86 and drive shaft 82 can be mounted on the annular guide rail 81 by the double limiting effect of the limit block 84 and the support bearing 17. Then, the fixing frame 86 is driven to move along the annular guide rail 81 by the drive gear 83 on the drive shaft 82.

[0033] In addition, for the sake of a neat and aesthetically pleasing appearance, a microcontroller and a battery 130 for powering the drive unit's winding motor can be installed inside the mounting housing.

[0034] Preferably, the drive unit 85 includes a first bevel gear 851 mounted on the drive shaft 82, a second bevel gear 852 meshing with the first bevel gear 851, a transmission shaft 853 driving the second bevel gear 852 to rotate, a transmission gear 854 mounted at the lower end of the transmission shaft 853, and a rotary motor 855 driving the transmission gear 854 to rotate. Through the cooperation of the first bevel gear 851, the second bevel gear 852, the transmission shaft 853, and the transmission gear 854, the position of the rotary motor 855 can be easily installed, and a large-size transmission gear 854 can be used to increase the driving force.

[0035] Once installed, the mounting bracket can be slidably supported on the annular guide rail by the limiting cooperation of the support bearing 17 and the limiting block 84. The support bearing plays a supporting and guiding role, while the limiting block plays a guiding and limiting role to prevent the mounting bracket from falling off. Furthermore, the drive unit 85 can drive the drive shaft 82 and the drive gear 83 to rotate, so that the mounting shell 8a can move on the annular guide rail.

[0036] Preferably, the lifting mechanism 7 is an electric lifting rod, which can be implemented by purchasing a commonly used electric telescopic rod on the market. Specifically, the lifting mechanism 7 is located on the movable terminal of the rotating mechanism 8, that is, it is fixed on the mounting shell and inserted into the mounting shell and fixed thereto. The nozzle 6 is located at the upper end of the electric lifting rod, and the water outlet pipe 13 is spirally wound on the electric lifting rod, and the shell maintains a certain degree of tightness to avoid affecting the free extension and retraction of the electric lifting rod.

[0037] Preferably, the system further includes an extension shaft 19 horizontally mounted on the upper end of the movable terminal of the lifting mechanism 7, a support rod 20 rotatably mounted at the end of the extension shaft 19, and a pressure sensor 21 mounted on the support rod 20. The support rod 20 is in a vertical state, and the pressure sensor 21 is located on the side of the support rod 20 that faces the movable terminal of the rotating mechanism 8. Multiple pressure sensors 21 are provided and are evenly distributed axially on the support rod 20. During the movement of the movable terminal of the rotating mechanism 8, the pressure sensor 21 on the front side of the support rod 20 can detect the branches of the flowers and plants in the forward direction. When the pressure sensor 21 detects pressure, the controller controls the lifting mechanism 7 to descend, thereby avoiding the branches of the flowers and plants extending out of the flowerpot 3, thus achieving the purpose of avoidance and preventing the branches of the flowers and plants from breaking during the watering of the flowerpot 3.

[0038] Furthermore, the operating principle of this self-circulating watering potted plant system is as follows:

[0039] The height of the pivot 921 of the support rod 20 serves as a reference point, through which multiple pressure sensors 21 are longitudinally divided into two groups. The microcontroller 5 controls the rotation mechanism 8 to move, driving the lifting mechanism 7 to move around the flowerpot 3, while simultaneously controlling the water supply mechanism 9 to supply water to the sprinkler head 6 to irrigate the potted plant. The microcontroller scans multiple pressure sensors 21 in real time and determines the position of the pressure sensor 21 being squeezed relative to the reference point. Based on the position, the lifting mechanism 7 drives the sprinkler head 6 to rise and fall. Specifically, when the sensor being squeezed is below the reference point, the lifting mechanism 7 drives the sprinkler head 6 to fall to avoid the branches of the potted plant extending out of the flowerpot 3. During this process, the distance the lifting mechanism 7 falls can be measured by multiple pressure sensors. The distance between the devices 21 is used as a reference; if the detected pressure sensor 21 is above the reference point, the lifting mechanism 7 does not move, and the rotating mechanism 8 continues to move forward, thereby pressing the upper end of the support rod 20 backward and downward through the branches of the potted plant, thereby causing the front end of the support rod 20 to swing upward to lift the branches and leaves in the forward direction, thus facilitating the circumferential and uniform watering of the flowerpot 3. In addition, for positions that are blocked by the potted plant and cannot be watered, an additional circulation pipe connected to the water pump can be added, passing through the filter plate and the inside of the flowerpot, so that the user can make adaptive adjustments to the watering according to the actual situation and ensure more uniform watering. In order to prevent the soil moisture content in the flowerpot from being too high, a solenoid valve connected to the controller can be added to the circulation pipe for watering control.

[0040] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
