The drain pipe delivers water to the collection tank. The extension pipe allows excess water from the plant placement box to be transferred to the collection tank, preventing the plant roots in the planting trough from rotting due to constant water immersion. This creates a water-saving cycle. The extension pipe, capillary expansion pipe, first solenoid valve, fixing ring, and humidity sensor work together to detect soil moisture in the plant placement box. This allows for easy control of the first solenoid valve's opening and closing, thus controlling the amount of water delivered to the plant placement box via the capillary expansion pipe. This ensures the normal operation of the modular plant greening wall system. Attached Figure Description

Using the PLC controller 20, the data transmitted by the humidity sensors 11 and the liquid level sensors 25 can be processed to facilitate the control of the opening and closing of the first solenoid valves 8 and the second solenoid valve 24.
[0038] The output ends of several extension water pipes 6 are all fixedly connected to a circulating drain pipe 7.

The display screen 21 can display the data of the PLC controller 20, thereby facilitating the operation and use of the modular plant greening wall system.
[0039] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, first connect the water pump 4, the first solenoid valve 8, the humidity sensor 11, the PLC controller 20, the second solenoid valve 24 and the liquid level sensor 25 to the power supply. When it is necessary to use this modular plant greening wall system to carry out modular plant greening on the wall, first manually drill threaded holes corresponding to the fixing bolts 14 at the corresponding positions on the wall. Then, the structure of the modular plant greening wall system can be placed on one side of the wall by manual means, and the fixing bolts 14 can be threaded through the mounting bracket 1 and threadedly connected to the drilled threaded holes, so that the structure of the modular plant greening wall system can be installed and fixed in the required position on the wall.
[0040] Next, multiple green plants are planted manually in multiple green plant baskets 17, so that the green plant baskets 17 planted with green plants can be placed into multiple green plant placement boxes 27 in sequence by manual means. The extension strip 12 and the upper frame 18 can be used to stabilize and limit the multiple green plant baskets 17 in the green plant placement box 27. At the same time, one end of the capillary water pipe 9 of the corresponding green plant basket 17 can be inserted into the soil in the green plant basket 17 by manual means, so that the fixing ring 10 fixed outside the capillary water pipe 9 can contact the soil surface, and the humidity sensor 11 can be inserted into the soil to detect its humidity.
[0041] Then, external irrigation water is manually transported to the water storage tank 22 through the water supply pipe 23. Two sets of liquid level sensors 25 are installed inside the water collection tank 2 on one side of the mounting bracket 1 to detect the liquid level in the water collection tank 2. The PLC controller 20 controls the second solenoid valve 24 to open, so that the irrigation water in the water storage tank 22 can be transported to the water collection tank 2 through the automatic water supply pipe 26 until the appropriate water level is reached. At the same time, by controlling the power of the water pump 4, the water in the water collection tank 2 can be transported to the circulating water supply pipe 5 through the water pumping pipe 3. The circulating water supply pipe 5 is used to transport the water to multiple extension water pipes 6, and the circulating water supply pipe 7 connected to the multiple extension water pipes 6 is used to collect the water back to the water collection tank 2, thus forming a water cycle and saving water resources.
[0042] By using the corresponding humidity sensor 11 to monitor the soil moisture of the green plants, the power supply of the corresponding first solenoid valve 8 can be easily controlled, so that the first solenoid valve 8 can be opened, thereby allowing the corresponding capillary water pipe 9 to irrigate the green plants in the green plant planting basket 17 with water from the extension water pipe 6. Since the green plant planting basket 17 is equipped with filter holes, excess water in the soil can be transported through the green plant planting basket 17 and the filter screen 16 to the green plant placement box 27. Multiple connecting pipes 13 are provided at the bottom of the green plant placement box 27, so that the connecting pipes 13 can extend into the green plant placement box 27, so that there is a certain amount of water in the green plant placement box 27, and excess water can be transported to the water collection tank 2 in sequence. This makes it convenient to irrigate the green plants in the green plant planting basket 17, and can also recycle the water in the modular plant greening wall system to save water resources and avoid the problem of the green plant roots rotting from being soaked in water.
