This invention has advantages such as reasonable structure, convenience, practicality, and wide applicability.

[0003] However, automatic watering systems lack control over the amount of water they can provide, and the water flow can damage the soil structure, causing plant roots to be exposed and thus affecting plant growth. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Based on this, this application provides an intelligent automatic watering system to solve the problems that automatic watering devices lack control over the amount of water they can provide, and that the water flow can damage the soil structure and expose plant roots, thus affecting plant growth.

[0006] An intelligent automatic watering system, installed on a flowerpot containing flowers, includes:

[0007] The system comprises a fixing component, a watering component, and a control component. The fixing component is detachably mounted on the flowerpot. The watering component includes a main pipe, a water tank, and a buffer. The main pipe is located on the side of the fixing component away from the flowerpot and has several water outlet holes. The water tank is detachably mounted on one side of the flowerpot and is connected to the main pipe via an auxiliary pipe. The buffer is mounted on the fixing component, located below the main pipe, and covers the flowerpot. The control component includes a water supply component and a detection component. The water supply component is located inside the water tank and is used to introduce water from the water tank into the auxiliary pipe.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This application provides an intelligent automatic watering system, installed on a flowerpot 10 containing flowers, including: a fixing component 100, a watering component 200, and a control component 300. The fixing component 100 is detachably mounted on the flowerpot 10. The watering component 200 includes a main pipe 210, a water tank 220, and a buffer 230. The main pipe 210 is located on the side of the fixing component 100 away from the flowerpot 10, and has several water outlets. The water tank 220 is detachably mounted on one side of the flowerpot 10 and is connected to the main pipe 210. The auxiliary pipe 221 is connected to the main pipe 210; the buffer 230 is disposed on the fixing component 100, the buffer 230 is located below the main pipe 210, and covers the flowerpot 10; the control component 300 includes a water supply component 310 and a detection component 320, the water supply component 310 is disposed in the water tank 220, and is used to introduce water in the water tank 220 into the auxiliary pipe 221; the detection component 320 is inserted into the flowerpot 10, and the detection component 320 is electrically connected to the water supply component 310, and is used to control the start and stop of the water supply component 310.

[0030] Specifically, the fixing component 100 uses clips, slots, or other devices that can be detachably installed on the edge of the flowerpot 10. The main pipe 210 uses flexible tubing such as plastic hoses. The main pipe 210 is connected to the fixing component 100 by binding or snapping. Several fixing components 100 are provided according to the circumference of the flowerpot 10 and are evenly distributed on the flowerpot 10. At least one end of the main pipe 210 is sealed. For example, when the auxiliary pipe 221 is connected to one end of the main pipe 210, the end of the main pipe 210 away from the auxiliary pipe 221 is sealed, and then the main pipe 210 goes around the upper edge of the flowerpot 10. If the auxiliary pipe 221 is located in the middle of the main pipe 210 and is connected to it, then both ends of the main pipe 210 are sealed, and both ends of the main pipe 210 are set along the upper edge of the flowerpot 10. The two ends of the main pipe 210 are detachably installed on the upper edge of the flowerpot 10 and are opposite to the auxiliary pipe 221.

[0031] The water tank 220 is detachably tied to one side of the flowerpot 10 using straps or other methods, or it can be placed directly on the table. The auxiliary pipe 221 and the main pipe 210 are made of the same material, and the inlet of the auxiliary pipe 221 is connected to the outlet of the water tank 220. The buffer 230 is set on the fixing component 100. The width of the buffer 230 is not less than the distance from the main pipe 210 to the flower stem. The buffer 230 is made of, but is not limited to, sponge, cotton cloth, etc. If the fixing component 100 is a clip type, several fixing components 100 are set on one side of the buffer 230 by means of binding wire, so that the buffer 230 covers the flowerpot 10 by snapping the fixing component 100 onto the flowerpot 10, and the side of the buffer 230 away from the fixing component 100 is attached to the flower stem.

[0032] The detection component 320 uses, but is not limited to, a humidity sensor, a moisture detector, etc., and the water supply component 310 uses, but is not limited to, a water pump, a self-priming pump, a valve, etc. The water supply component 310 is equipped with a power source, such as a storage battery or a button battery. By electrically connecting the detection component 320 and the water supply component 310, when the detection value of the detection component 320 reaches a first threshold, the water supply component 310 is turned on, and when the first threshold is reached, the water supply component 310 is turned off.

[0033] Further, the water tank 220 is placed on one side of the flowerpot 10, the buffer 230 is fixed to the fixing component 100, and the main pipe 210 and the auxiliary pipe 221 are installed. After installation, the fixing component 100 is detachably connected to the upper edge of the flowerpot 10, and the posture of the buffer 230 is adjusted so that it lies flat and covers the flowerpot 10. Then, the detection component 320 is inserted into the flowerpot 10 through the gap between the flower stems and electrically connected to the water supply component 310. When the detection component 320 detects that the water content in the flowerpot 10 is lower than the first threshold, the water supply component 310 is turned on, and water enters the main pipe 210 from the water tank 220 along the auxiliary pipe 221. Then, water is sprayed from the water outlet on the main pipe 210 onto the buffer 230. The buffer 230 absorbs the water and drips it into the flowerpot 10. When the detection component 320 detects that the water content in the flowerpot 10 reaches the second threshold, the water supply component 310 is turned off, thus completing the automatic watering process.

[0034] The technical solution of the intelligent automatic watering system adopted in this application can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0035] 1. By setting a buffer 230, water is first sprayed onto the buffer 230 and absorbed by it, and then drips into the flowerpot 10. This solves the problem that when an automatic watering device waters, the water flow impacts the soil, which can easily damage the soil structure, causing the plant roots to be exposed and thus affecting plant growth.

[0036] 2. By covering the flowerpot 10 with the buffer 230, the problem of excessive water loss from the soil inside the flowerpot 10 due to direct sunlight shining into the flowerpot 10 is solved. The setting of the buffer 230 reduces the rate of water loss from the flowerpot 10.

[0037] 3. By electrically connecting the detection component 320 and the water supply component 310, the water content of the soil in the flowerpot 10 is detected while watering, and the start and stop of the water supply component 310 is controlled to solve the problem of excessive or insufficient watering, which leads to poor plant growth conditions in the flowerpot 10.

[0038] Based on the above scheme, the water flowing out of the water outlet is sprayed onto the buffer 230, and the buffer 230 is a water-absorbing sponge. The thickness of the water-absorbing sponge is no greater than the height of the fixing component 100. The water-absorbing sponge has good water absorption, and after the water supply component 310 stops, some water is stored in the water-absorbing sponge to slowly replenish the soil in the flowerpot 10. At the same time, the water in the soil is absorbed by the water-absorbing sponge after it vaporizes, and when the temperature drops, it enters the soil from the water-absorbing sponge, making the water loss in the soil slower.

[0039] In one embodiment of this application, the water outlet is provided with an atomizing nozzle, and the atomizing nozzle forms an angle of 45° to 80° with the horizontal plane. The atomizing nozzle sprays upward towards the center of the flowerpot 10. Most of the atomized water falls onto the plant inside the flowerpot 10 and along the plant's stem into the flowerpot 10. The remaining part falls onto the buffer 230 and is then blocked by the buffer 230, which solves the problem of water flow impacting the soil, easily damaging the soil structure, causing plant roots to be exposed, and thus affecting plant growth.

[0040] In another embodiment of this application, the width of the buffer 230 is not less than the distance from the water outlet to the water droplet location. If an atomizing nozzle is not used, the water droplet from the water outlet will fall between the edge of the flowerpot 10 and the flower stem, and will not exceed the width of the buffer 230. By adjusting the width of the buffer 230, the problem of water impacting the soil, easily damaging the soil structure, causing plant roots to be exposed, and thus affecting plant growth is solved.

[0041] In the above scheme, for easier fixing, the fixing component 100 includes a flexible slot 110 and a through hole 120. The lower end face of the flexible slot 110 is detachably mounted on the flowerpot 10. The buffer 230 is mounted on one side of the flexible slot 110 and located below the through hole 120. The through holes 120 are equidistantly mounted on the flexible slot 110 for fixing the main pipe 210. The flexible slot 110 adjusts its posture according to the operator's operation. The flexible slot 110 adopts, but is not limited to, dovetail slots, square slots, etc., and a through hole 120 is provided on the upper part of the flexible slot 110. Several through holes 120 are evenly arranged. An arc-shaped groove is provided at one end of the flexible slot 110 near the through hole 120. The arc-shaped groove is used to increase the contact area between the flexible slot 110 and the main pipe 210. By using a strip or binding wire to pass through the through hole 120, the main pipe 210 is fixed on the flexible slot 110, making installation more convenient and improving the efficiency of replacement and maintenance.

[0042] Based on the above solution, the fixing component 100 further includes a clamp 130, which is disposed within the through hole 120 for detaching the two main pipes 210. The middle part of the clamp 130 is disposed within the through hole 120, and one end of the clamp 130 surrounds the main pipe 210 and is inserted into the other end of the clamp 130, making operation more convenient.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the detection element 320 includes a first humidity detector 321 and a second humidity detector 322. Both the first humidity detector 321 and the second humidity detector 322 are inserted into the flowerpot 10. The first humidity detector 321 is electrically connected to the water supply element 310 to control the opening of the water supply element 310, and the second humidity detector 322 is electrically connected to the water supply element 310 to control the closing of the water supply element 310. The water supply element 310 is a water pump.

[0044] The first humidity detector 321 and the second humidity detector 322 are identical, employing FC-28 type, resistive sensors, etc. By adjusting the threshold values ​​of the first humidity detector 321 and the second humidity detector 322 (the first humidity detector 321 corresponds to the first threshold value, and the second humidity detector 322 corresponds to the second threshold value), when the humidity detected by the first humidity detector 321 is less than the first threshold value, the water supply component 310 is turned on; when the soil humidity detected by the second humidity detector 322 is equal to the second threshold value, the water supply component 310 is turned off. For example, an automatic start-stop dehumidifier disclosed in application number CN202410984488.X detects the soil humidity through the first humidity detector 321 and the second humidity detector 322, and then controls the water pump to turn on or off, making operation simple and convenient.

[0045] In another preferred embodiment of this application, the water tank 220 is connected to a water source via a water inlet pipe 330, and a level switch 332 is provided on the water inlet pipe 330. A level detection element 331 is provided inside the water tank 220. The level detection element 331 is connected in cooperation with the level switch 332 to detect the water level in the water tank 220 and control the closing of the level switch 332.

[0046] The liquid level detection element 331 adopts a ball valve type, and the liquid level switch 332 is connected to the liquid level detection element 331. When the water level rises, the liquid level detection element 331 rises with the water level, causing the liquid level switch 332 to gradually close. After reaching the preset water level, the liquid level switch 332 closes. When the water level drops, the liquid level detection element 331 drops with the water level and opens the liquid level switch 332, making the operation more convenient and simple.

[0047] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
