[0027] The horizontal bar 11 and the vertical bar 13 are connected by a right-angle tee 12 to form a frame structure. Four mounting holes 19 are symmetrically opened on the upper surface of the box cover 17. The vertical bar 13 is inserted into the inside of the mounting holes 19. The box cover 17 is installed on the outer side wall of the vertical bar 13. The frame of the top of the planting box is installed by plugging in, which is simple to operate and reduces the difficulty of installation.
[0028] The lid 17 is fastened to the upper surface of the bottom box 14. The lid 17 is used to seal the bottom box 14. The bottom box 14 is an industrial turnover box, which not only has good waterproof performance, but also reduces the cost of the planting box.
[0029] Four planting holes 18 are symmetrically opened on the upper surface of the box cover 17. The planting holes 18 are used to plant seeds.
[0030] The control box 15 is attached to one side of the base box 14. The first wire hole 20 is opened on the side of the base box 14 near the control box 15, and the second wire hole 21 is opened on the outer side wall of the control box 15. The sensor 26 is installed inside the base box 14. The first wire hole 20 and the second wire hole 21 on the base box 14 are used for wiring the sensor 26.
[0031] In this embodiment, specifically: the control box 15 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 25 by screws. A buzzer 22, a main board 23 and a display 24 are installed on one side of the mounting plate 25. A transparent cover 16 is installed on the side of the control box 15 away from the bottom box 14.
[0032] The motherboard 23 is the core control board, with powerful computing capabilities and rich interfaces. It can connect to various sensors and external devices to realize data acquisition and control functions. The model of the motherboard 23 is ESP32, which has built-in Flash memory for storing data.
[0033] Display 24 is used to display the collected environmental data in real time;
[0034] The motherboard 23 is connected to the sensor 26 via DuPont wires. The sensor 26 is used to collect environmental data. When routing the sensor 26, the DuPont wires can pass through the first wire hole 20 and the second wire hole 21.

[0036] When seeds are hydroponically grown, sensor 26 is a water level sensor. Sensor 26 is attached to one side of the bottom box 14 by adhesive bonding to measure the water level in the bottom box 14. When seeds are soil-grown, sensor 26 is a soil moisture sensor. Sensor 26 is inserted into the soil by plugging to measure soil moisture, thereby realizing multimodal environmental monitoring.
[0037] In this utility model, the buzzer 22, motherboard 23, display 24 and sensor 26 are all existing technologies, so their structures and working principles will not be described in detail.
[0038] In this embodiment, specifically: the inside of the planting hole 18 is provided with a planting component 301, which includes a cap 31, a planting basket 32, absorbent cotton 33, and cotton thread 34;
[0039] The lid 31 is fastened to the top of the planting basket 32. The absorbent cotton 33 is located inside the planting basket 32. One end of the cotton thread 34 is located inside the absorbent cotton 33. The end of the cotton thread 34 away from the absorbent cotton 33 passes through the planting basket 32 and extends to the bottom of the planting basket 32. The outer wall of the planting basket 32 is attached to the inner wall of the planting hole 18. The top of the planting basket 32 is attached to the upper surface of the box lid 17. The planting basket 32 is located inside the bottom box 14. During hydroponic operation, the absorbent cotton 33 and the cotton thread 34 work together to absorb water and provide a good growth environment for the seeds. When there is no planting plan, the planting basket 32 can be closed by the lid 31.
[0040] During soil cultivation, the planting component 301 can be directly removed and the seeds can be cultivated and planted in the planting hole 18.
[0041] Working principle or structural principle: When in use, the horizontal bar 11, vertical bar 13 and box cover 17 are assembled using the right-angle tee 12. The control box 15 is glued to one side of the bottom box 14. Then, the sensor 26 is wired through the first wire hole 20 and the second wire hole 21. When performing hydroponics, the sensor 26 uses a water level sensor and is attached to one side of the bottom box 14. When performing soil cultivation, the sensor 26 uses a soil moisture sensor and is inserted into the soil inside the bottom box 14. After the wiring is completed, the box cover 17 is placed on the bottom box 14. At this time, the seeds can be planted according to the planting needs. In soil cultivation, the seeds are planted directly in the planting hole 18. In hydroponics, the seeds are planted in the planting basket 32.
[0042] Compared to existing technologies, this utility model assembles the horizontal bar 11, vertical bar 13, and box cover 17 using a right-angle tee 12, then installs the control box 15 by adhesive bonding, routes the sensor 26 through the first wire hole 20 and the second wire hole 21, and finally completes the assembly by fastening the box cover 17 to the bottom box 14. The assembly process is simple and reduces the difficulty of installation. Moreover, during the planting process, soil cultivation or hydroponics can be carried out according to planting needs, which enhances the flexibility of planting and facilitates use.
