Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biological teaching technology, and in particular to a smart plant cultivation kit. Background Technology

[0002] In biology teaching practice, the purpose of plant cultivation methods is to help students gain a deeper understanding of the plant growth process. During plant cultivation experiments, it is necessary to create an artificial climate environment for the plants to conduct various scientific experiments. This artificial climate environment includes the temperature, humidity, light, and nutrients necessary for plant growth. Traditional plant cultivation teaching aids, such as plant cultivation boxes, are generally large and inconvenient for children to move. Furthermore, existing plant cultivation teaching aids lack automated control functions; they cannot automatically control the start and stop of water pumps and light sources, and they lack monitoring functions for the cultivation environment, making it impossible to know the key parameters of the current cultivation environment, such as light intensity, ambient temperature, and soil moisture. Similarly, plant cultivation experiments for children lack interactivity.

[0003] Therefore, there is a need for a smart plant cultivation kit that can create an artificial climate environment, meet monitoring and automated control requirements, stimulate children's interest in plant cultivation experiments, and facilitate students' observation and learning. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem of the need to create artificial climate environments but the lack of monitoring and automated control of the aquaculture environment, this utility model provides a smart plant cultivation kit.

The flat support has through holes for accommodating the planting mechanism. The planting mechanism includes a tray containing a planting substrate and a base support for supporting the tray. The tray has permeable holes. The water pump adds water to the water tank, and the water enters the planting substrate through the permeable holes. The lighting mechanism applies light to the planting substrate.

[0006] Furthermore, the three-dimensional shell is house-shaped.

[0007] Furthermore, a flat plate bracket is provided below the water tank, and the flat plate bracket and the flat plate support are fixedly connected by threaded posts.

Ventilation holes are provided on the first and second sidewalls. A fan is installed on the ventilation hole of the first sidewall, and the fan is placed inside the three-dimensional shell.

[0009] Furthermore, the base support includes multiple sets of support plates, which are installed in a cross-coupling manner.

[0010] Furthermore, the lighting mechanism includes a first bracket mounted on a flat plate support and a second bracket detachably connected to the first bracket. The first bracket is provided with a plurality of insertion holes evenly distributed, and the second bracket is provided with insertion pins evenly distributed. The second bracket extends toward the planting substrate to form a top bracket, and a light strip is mounted on the top bracket.

[0011] Furthermore, a soil temperature and humidity sensor is provided on the three-dimensional shell, the soil temperature and humidity sensor includes a probe that extends into the planting substrate, and an environmental temperature and humidity sensor is provided on the first side wall, the environmental temperature and humidity sensor being placed outside the three-dimensional shell.

[0012] Furthermore, a light sensor is installed on the second bracket.

[0013] Furthermore, the three-dimensional outer shell is equipped with a display screen and operation buttons, and the second side wall is equipped with a charging port.

[0014] Furthermore, the control device includes:

[0015] The power module provides operating voltage to the microprocessor control unit, water pump, and light strips;

[0022] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. The present invention proposes a smart plant cultivation kit, which is portable and child-friendly. The kit has a compact overall structure. A flat bracket is set under the water tank and is fixedly connected to the flat bracket by a threaded post, which ensures the overall stability. At the same time, compared with the traditional bulky plant cultivation box, it is easier for children to move and operate. The tray containing the planting substrate is equipped with water holes, which makes it easy for the water pump to add water in the water tank and for the water to flow into the planting substrate.

[0024] 2. This utility model has a complete environmental creation and monitoring function. By setting soil temperature and humidity sensors and environmental temperature and humidity sensors, it can accurately monitor the soil temperature and humidity inside the planting substrate and the environmental temperature and humidity outside the three-dimensional shell, providing key environmental data support for plant growth. This allows students to intuitively understand the temperature and humidity conditions required for plant growth and to adjust the environment in a timely manner based on this data, creating a more suitable growth climate for plants. This helps students to deeply understand the important impact of temperature and humidity on plant growth.

[0025] 3. In this invention, the installation of a light sensor allows for real-time detection of light intensity. Combined with the light strips in the lighting mechanism, it provides sufficient light for the plants. The clock module in the control device can set the start and stop times of the water pump, light strips, and fan. The microprocessor control unit can control the working status of the water pump drive module, light control module, and fan drive module based on the signals fed back from the sensor and the clock settings, thereby achieving automated start and stop of the water pump, light source, and fan. This automated control function effectively avoids the inaccuracies and untimely nature of manual operation, ensuring that the plants are always in a suitable growth environment.
