Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant protection, and more specifically, to a plant protection monitoring box adapted to plants of different heights. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of refining agriculture and horticulture, the demand for precise protection of individual plants is increasing. Traditional planting and management models are unable to monitor and protect individual plants from environmental changes and minor diseases in a timely and accurate manner. This is especially true for rare and special plant varieties, where conventional protection methods have limitations. In view of this, plant protection monitoring boxes for individual monitoring and protection have emerged. They provide exclusive protection for individual plants and precisely safeguard their growth.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN221510419U discloses "a monitoring box for plant protection adapted to plants of different heights, comprising a first shell, a connecting groove inside the first shell, a second shell slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting groove, a return spring inside the top of the second shell, a lifting plate at the top of the return spring, and auxiliary rods rotatably connected to both sides of the lifting plate, the auxiliary rods being L-shaped. This technical solution allows for adjusting the height of the monitoring box by using a second shell that can be raised and lowered, pushing the second shell upwards, and then locking the limiting strip on the outside of the second shell with the limiting groove to fix the height of the second shell, ensuring sufficient growth space for the protected plants." However, it still has the following drawbacks:

[0004] (1) In actual use, the device relies on manual judgment to trigger the lifting operation. The operation process is quite complicated. When facing plants with a fast growth rate, the user may fail to notice the plant's growth needs in time due to negligence and fail to adjust the lifting in time, which will cause the device to be unable to adapt to the plant's growth status and have an adverse effect on the normal growth of the plant.

[0005] (2) In actual use, the device places the plant inside the placement chamber for protection and monitoring. However, the device lacks a convenient and efficient way to open it. When watering, fertilizing, or other plant maintenance work is required, the placement chamber must be removed from the device for maintenance, which is cumbersome and inefficient. Therefore, a plant protection monitoring box adapted to plants of different heights is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that, in actual use, the device relies on manual judgment to trigger the lifting operation, which is quite cumbersome. When dealing with fast-growing plants, users may fail to notice the plant's growth needs in time and fail to adjust the lifting operation accordingly, resulting in the device being unable to adapt to the plant's growth and adversely affecting its normal growth. In addition, although the device places the plant inside the placement chamber for protection and monitoring, it lacks a convenient and efficient way to open it. When watering, fertilizing, or other plant maintenance work is required, the placement chamber must be removed from the device, making the operation cumbersome and inefficient.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] The present invention is as follows: a monitoring box for plant protection adapted to plants of different heights, including a base plate, wherein the base plate is provided with a lifting adjustment component for raising and lowering to prevent the device from hindering plant growth, and the lifting adjustment component is provided with a switch component for opening the device to facilitate plant maintenance.

[0009] The lifting and adjusting assembly includes two support blocks welded to the top of the base plate, a lower housing welded to the top of the two support blocks, a placement platform welded to the top of the base plate, a servo motor fixedly mounted on the top of the placement platform, a gear fixedly mounted on the output end of the servo motor, an upper housing slidably connected to the lower housing, a rack welded to the side of the upper housing near the servo motor, the rack meshing with the gear, an infrared sensor fixedly mounted inside the upper housing, several lifting rollers hinged to the four outer walls of the lower housing, three sliding grooves formed on the outer wall of the upper housing, and three limiting blocks welded to the outer wall of the lower housing, the limiting blocks slidably connected inside the sliding grooves.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the switch assembly includes a switch groove opened on the top of the upper housing, a sliding groove opened on one side of the upper housing, a sliding switch plate slidably connected inside the sliding groove, and a limit opening block welded to the top of the sliding switch plate.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, four first ventilation openings are evenly distributed on both sides of the lower housing, and four second ventilation openings are opened on both sides of the upper housing. The positions of the four second ventilation openings correspond to the first ventilation openings, and filter plates are fixedly installed inside the first and second ventilation openings.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the bottom of the lower shell is provided with a plurality of water-permeable holes, and the plurality of water-permeable holes are arranged in an array at the bottom of the lower shell, and a water storage tank is provided at the top of the bottom plate.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0026] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to illustrate some embodiments of the utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0028] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment proposes a plant protection monitoring box adapted to plants of different heights, including a base plate 1, a lifting adjustment component 2 for raising and lowering to prevent the device from hindering plant growth, and a switch component 3 for opening the device to facilitate plant maintenance.

[0030] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the lifting and adjusting assembly 2 includes two support blocks 201 welded to the top of the base plate 1. A lower housing 202 is welded to the top of the two support blocks 201, and the lower housing 202 is used to protect the plant. A placement platform 203 is welded to the top of the base plate 1. A servo motor 204 is fixedly installed on the top of the placement platform 203. The servo motor 204 is used to provide lifting power. A gear 205 is fixedly installed on the output end of the servo motor 204. An upper housing 206 is slidably connected to the lower housing 202. The upper housing 206 is close to the servo motor 202. A rack 207 is welded to one side of the motor 204. The rack 207 meshes with a gear 205. The servo motor 204 drives the gear 205 to rotate, which in turn drives the rack 207 to raise and lower the upper housing 206, thus creating a suitable space for plant growth. An infrared sensor 208 is fixedly installed inside the upper housing 206. When the infrared sensor 208 detects plants at a certain height, it indicates that the space is about to become insufficient for plant growth. At this time, a signal is transmitted to activate the servo motor 204 to ensure that the device does not affect plant growth. The lower housing... The four outer walls of the body 202 are hinged with several lifting rollers 209. The lifting rollers 209 are used to make the upper shell 206 rise and fall more smoothly and without jamming. The outer wall of the upper shell 206 has three sliding grooves 210. The outer wall of the lower shell 202 is welded with three limiting blocks 211. The limiting blocks 211 are slidably connected to the inside of the sliding grooves 210. The limiting blocks 211 are used to limit the upper shell 206 to make the rise and fall of the upper shell 206 more stable. In use, plants that need to be protected and monitored are placed inside the lower shell 202. When the plants grow... Once the plant reaches a certain height, the infrared sensor 208 detects its position and transmits a signal to the servo motor 204. The servo motor 204 operates to raise the upper housing 206 via the gear 205 and rack 207. This automatically detects the plant's growth and provides it with growing space, reducing the need for manual labor. The lifting rollers 209 facilitate the raising and lowering of the upper housing 206 and prevent jamming during this process. The limit block 211 further limits the movement of the upper housing 206, making its raising and lowering more stable.

[0031] like Figure 4As shown, the switch assembly 3 includes a switch groove 301 opened on the top of the upper housing 206, and a sliding groove 302 opened on one side of the upper housing 206. A sliding switch plate 303 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 302. The device can be opened and closed by using the sliding switch plate 303 in the sliding groove 302. A limit opening block 304 is welded to the top of the sliding switch plate 303. The limit opening block 304 is used to limit the sliding switch plate 303. When it is necessary to water, prune or fertilize the plants, the top of the device can be opened by the sliding switch plate 303, which facilitates the user to perform plant maintenance operations. The limit opening block 304 limits the sliding switch plate 303 to prevent it from falling off. After the plant maintenance operation is completed, the sliding switch plate 303 can be closed to protect the plants.

[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, four first ventilation openings 4 are evenly distributed on both sides of the lower housing 202, and four second ventilation openings 5 ​​are opened on both sides of the upper housing 206. The positions of the four second ventilation openings 5 ​​correspond to the first ventilation openings 4. Filter plates 6 are fixedly installed inside the first ventilation openings 4 and the second ventilation openings 5. In use, the ventilation of the device is maintained through the first ventilation openings 4 and the second ventilation openings 5 ​​to meet the needs of the plants inside the device. The filter plates 6 can block insects from entering the device and prevent the protected plants from being affected by insects.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the lower shell 202 is provided with several water-permeable holes 7, and the array of several water-permeable holes 7 is distributed on the bottom of the lower shell 202. The top of the bottom plate 1 is provided with a water storage tank 8. When in use, after watering the plants in the device, the excess water in the device can flow out through the water-permeable holes 7 to prevent liquid residue from damaging the device. The excess water flows into the water storage tank 8. The water storage tank 8 can effectively prevent water from overflowing and maintain the cleanliness of the surrounding environment. It can also reuse the collected water to save water resources.

[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, four first observation ports 9 are evenly distributed on both sides of the upper housing 206, and four second observation ports 10 are opened on both sides of the lower housing 202. The second observation ports 10 and the first observation ports 9 are positioned correspondingly. A third observation port 11 is opened on the top of the sliding switch plate 303. Observation glass 12 is fixedly installed inside the first observation ports 9, second observation ports 10 and third observation ports 11. In use, users can easily observe the plants in the device through the first observation ports 9, second observation ports 10 and third observation ports 11 to keep track of the plants' growth. In addition, light sources can pass through the first observation ports 9, second observation ports 10 and third observation ports 11 to meet the plants' light requirements.

[0035] like Figure 5As shown, four fluorescent lamps 13 are fixedly installed inside the lower housing 202 and are evenly distributed on both sides inside the lower housing 202. When in use, some plants, such as night-blooming jasmine and moonflower, bloom at night, and some plants, such as pitcher plants and sundews, are active at night. By turning on the fluorescent lamps 13, users can easily understand the plant status inside the device at night.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, a protective shell 14 is fixedly installed on the servo motor 204, and four anti-collision strips 15 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the outer wall of the upper shell 206. In use, the servo motor 204 is protected by the protective shell 14, and the device is protected by the anti-collision strips 15 to prevent the device from being damaged by collision.

[0037] Specifically, when using this plant protection monitoring box adapted to plants of different heights: the plant to be protected and monitored is placed inside the lower housing 202. When the plant grows to a certain height, the infrared sensor 208 senses the plant's position and transmits a signal to the servo motor 204. The servo motor 204 operates, causing the upper housing 206 to rise via gears 205 and racks 207. This automatically detects plant growth and provides growing space for the plant, reducing the need for manual labor. The lifting rollers 209 facilitate the raising and lowering of the upper housing 206, preventing jamming during lifting. The limit block 211 limits the movement of the upper housing 206, making its raising and lowering more stable (e.g., ...). Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown), when watering, pruning, or fertilizing the plants is required, the top of the device can be opened via the sliding switch plate 303, facilitating plant maintenance. The sliding switch plate 303 is limited by the limiting pull block 304 to prevent it from falling off. After completing the plant maintenance, the sliding switch plate 303 can be closed to protect the plants (e.g., ...). Figure 4 As shown), the device maintains ventilation through the first vent 4 and the second vent 5 to meet the needs of the plants inside. The filter plate 6 prevents insects from entering the device, thus protecting the plants from insect damage (e.g., ...). Figure 5 (As shown).

[0038] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0039] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
