[0021] Please refer to Figure 1-3An environmental sensing-based home gardening maintenance device includes an environmental sensor, a control cabinet 1, and an actuator. The control cabinet 1 is equipped with a data conversion device 7, a data processor 4, and a network communication device 5. The data processor 4 is electrically connected to the environmental sensor through the data conversion device 7. The data processor 4 detects soil environmental data through the environmental sensor and obtains data such as soil temperature, soil moisture, soil EC value, soil pH value, and soil N, P, and K content. The data processor 4 is wirelessly connected to a terminal server through the network communication device 5 and uploads the environmental data detected by the environmental sensor to the terminal server wirelessly. The terminal server compares the data with preset environmental data and makes a judgment on whether to irrigate, whether to fertilize, and the amount of irrigation water and fertilizer. The judgment result is sent to the data processor 4. The data processor 4 is electrically connected to the actuator and controls the start and stop of the actuator according to the judgment result sent by the terminal server.

[0022] Preferably, the terminal server can also be wirelessly connected to the mobile device, so that the growth status of the green plants can be viewed at any time through the mobile device, and signals can be sent to the data processor 4 through the mobile device to remotely and manually control the start and stop of the actuator.

The display is a touch screen, through which the actuator can be manually controlled to start and stop, and the plants can be manually watered and fertilized.

[0024] The actuator includes a diverter 11, an irrigation pipe 12, a turbulence valve 14, and a spray nozzle 13. The input end of the diverter 11 is connected to the water and fertilizer system. A solenoid valve 10 is installed between the output end of the diverter 11 and the irrigation pipe 12. The solenoid valve 10 is electrically connected to the data processor 4. The solenoid valve 10 operates according to the received electrical signal to control the flow rate of water and fertilizer from the water and fertilizer system into the irrigation pipe 12. The input end of the turbulence valve 14 is connected to the irrigation pipe 12 to make the pressure at each irrigation point equal and ensure uniform irrigation. A spray nozzle 13 is installed at the output end of the turbulence valve 14, and the spray nozzle 13 is set to correspond to the green plants in home gardening.

[0025] Environmental sensors include, but are not limited to, soil temperature and humidity sensors 8 and soil nutrient sensors 9. These sensors are respectively installed in the culture medium of home gardening. Preferably, the soil temperature and humidity sensors 8 and soil nutrient sensors 9 are equipped with scale lines. The depth to which the sensors 8 and 9 are inserted into the culture medium is determined by these scale lines, allowing for the detection of data such as soil temperature, soil moisture, soil EC value, soil pH value, and soil N, P, and K content at different depths. Multiple soil temperature and humidity sensors 8 and soil nutrient sensors 9 can also be installed in the same culture medium, with their probes positioned at different depths, to simultaneously detect environmental data at different soil depths.

The data conversion device 7 converts the RS485 signals generated by the soil temperature and humidity sensor 8 and the soil nutrient sensor 9 into TTL signals, which can be directly recognized by the ESP8266 CH9102X microcontroller. The control coil of the relay 6 is connected to the ESP8266 CH9102X microcontroller to control the coil of the relay 6. The relay 6 is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 10, thereby realizing the control of the water and fertilizer system. The number of relays 6 is not less than the number of solenoid valves 10.

[0027] The actuator also includes an irrigation dripper, which is connected to the irrigation pipe 12 via a turbulence valve 14 and is positioned above the growing medium in home gardening. During irrigation and fertilization, the plants are watered by drip irrigation, which saves water and improves irrigation and fertilization efficiency.

[0028] To facilitate the control of the solenoid valve 10 by the control circuit inside the control cabinet 1, a wiring hole is provided on the side of the control cabinet 1. A waterproof wire connector 3 is installed in the wiring hole. The wires connecting the solenoid valve 10 and the relay 6, as well as the wires connecting the data conversion device 7 and the environmental sensor, are all installed in the wiring hole to prevent external moisture from entering the control cabinet 1 and causing corrosion to the internal data conversion device 7, data processor 4, and other devices.
