Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of green plant cultivation technology, and in particular to an automated watering mechanism for green plant cultivation. Background Technology
[0002] Plant cultivation refers to the process of nurturing and promoting plant growth by simulating natural environmental conditions through artificial or automated means. With the advancement of modern agricultural technology, plant cultivation has been widely applied in indoor, greenhouse, horticultural, and large-scale agricultural production. To improve planting efficiency and water resource utilization, automated watering systems have emerged. Through intelligent control and precise adjustment, automated watering mechanisms can accurately allocate water according to the actual needs of plants, avoiding the inconvenience and waste of resources associated with manual watering, and providing a more efficient and sustainable cultivation environment.
[0003] Traditional automated irrigation systems typically consist of a water source, water supply pipes, sprinklers, control valves, and sensors. Their basic working principle is to automatically start and stop water supply based on feedback from preset time sensors. Sensors detect soil moisture; when the soil is too dry, the system activates the water pump, delivering water through pipes to the plant roots, while the sprinklers evenly spray water, ensuring the plants receive sufficient water. The main function of this type of system is to ensure normal plant growth while reducing water waste and improving irrigation efficiency.
[0004] The aforementioned traditional automated watering mechanisms have several shortcomings. Continuing to water when the soil surface moisture is high leads to overwatering, negatively impacting plant root health and even wasting water resources. Furthermore, traditional systems cannot adjust water volume based on changes in deeper soil moisture, resulting in uneven water distribution among the roots and hindering root development. Therefore, an automated watering mechanism for green plant cultivation is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

The bottom of the plant cultivation pool 1 is provided with multiple permeation holes 25 so that excess water can flow out appropriately and prevent the plant roots from rotting due to water accumulation.
[0032] Working Principle: The soil moisture sensor 2 monitors the soil moisture level in the plant cultivation pond 1 in real time. When the soil moisture sensor 2 detects that the soil moisture is lower than the set threshold, the signal transmission rod 3 transmits the transmitted moisture signal to the moisture signal processing circuit board 4. After receiving the data, the moisture signal processing circuit board 4 processes it and converts it into a control signal to control the start and stop of the automatic watering pump 7. The moisture display panel 5 displays the soil moisture value in real time for easy observation and adjustment by the user. The moisture signal transmission line 6 transmits the processed moisture signal to the automatic watering pump 7 to indicate the pump's working status and ensure that the soil receives appropriate moisture. To ensure uniform water distribution, the bottom of the automatic watering pump 7 is equipped with a diversion component. The water guide pipe 8 connects the pump to the diversion pipe 9, and water is delivered to the diversion pipe 9 through the water guide pipe 8. The design of the diversion pipe 9 allows water to selectively flow to the insecticide tank 10 and the water storage tank 11. The water flow and direction are flexibly adjusted using the water guide hole 14 of the ball valve 13. In addition, the automatic watering pump 7 is connected to the upper and lower telescopic components to ensure that the water flow is evenly sprayed. The sliding block 21 in the telescopic components moves up and down according to the changes in water pressure. The reset spring 20 resets the movement of the sliding block 21, pushes the water supply pipe 22, drives the horizontal water outlet pipe 23 and multiple upward-angle nozzles 24, so that the water is evenly sprayed on the plants and provides them with sufficient water.
[0033] The wastewater recycling tank 26 is located at the bottom of the plant cultivation tank 1, collecting excess water flowing out of the plant cultivation tank 1. The interior of the wastewater recycling tank 26 is equipped with an activated carbon layer 27 to filter impurities in the water, ensuring the quality of the recycled water. Through the recycling pipe 28, the wastewater is guided to the recycling water pump 29, which pumps the wastewater out and sends it back to the storage tank 11 through the circulation pipe 30 for reuse. In this process, the flow and filtration of water ensure the cleanliness of the water and the recycling of water resources. To prevent excessive water accumulation from affecting the health of plant roots, the bottom of the plant cultivation tank 1 is equipped with multiple permeable holes 25 to ensure that excess water can flow out in a timely manner, preventing water accumulation that could lead to root rot. The wastewater recycling tank 26 is connected to the storage tank 11, forming a closed water circulation system, ensuring maximum utilization of water resources and reducing waste.
