Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of horticultural technology, specifically to a flowerpot that can automatically add water. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand for urban greening and home gardening, the ease of care for potted plants has become a core concern for users. Traditional flowerpots rely on regular manual watering, and if growers are unable to water them in time due to work or travel, the plants are prone to wilting due to dehydration. To address this issue, various automatic watering devices have emerged, such as drip irrigation systems and water-absorbing cotton wicks. However, these solutions generally have the following drawbacks: First, drip irrigation systems require an external water source or storage container, are complex in structure, and occupy a large amount of space, making them difficult to adapt to ordinary household scenarios; second, while water-absorbing cotton wicks can passively deliver water, their water supply rate is significantly affected by ambient temperature and humidity, making it impossible to accurately match the plant's water needs.

[0003] Furthermore, existing automatic watering planters are typically designed with fixed water storage structures, making it impossible to switch flexibly to use them as regular planters in non-automatic mode, resulting in low space utilization during daily use. For example, some double-layered water-storage planters, because the outer pot and planting pot are permanently fixed, cannot save space when automatic watering is not required. Therefore, how to simplify the structure and reduce costs while meeting the needs of compact daily placement and achieving reliable automatic watering has become a pressing technical challenge in the field of home gardening equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a flower pot that can automatically add water, which can automatically water the flowers when the grower is away for a long time, preventing the flowers from withering due to the grower's long absence, and at the same time reducing the space occupied when not automatically watering.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a flowerpot capable of automatically adding water, comprising:

[0006] An outer basin, the bottom of which is provided with a liquid outlet;

[0007] A planting pot, used for planting flowers, which can be placed inside the outer pot;

[0008] A support frame, installed inside the outer pot, is used to support the planting pot;

[0009] A pumping mechanism is installed outside the outer basin and connected to the liquid outlet, enabling it to pump water regularly and intermittently.

[0010] A water pipe is connected to the outlet of the pumping mechanism; and

[0011] A pipe clamp is provided at the top of the planting pot to hold the end of the water pipe.

[0012] Furthermore, the pumping mechanism includes a one-way valve, a water storage tank, a piston, a stopper rod, and a linear motion drive source. The water storage tank is vertically arranged, and its bottom end is connected to both the liquid outlet and the water pipe. The one-way valve is located between the liquid outlet and the water storage tank, allowing water to flow only in the direction of the water storage tank. The piston is sealed and slidably disposed inside the water storage tank. The stopper rod is disposed on the piston. The linear motion drive source is connected to the stopper rod, enabling it to drive the stopper rod to move up and down repeatedly in a regular and intermittent manner.

[0013] Furthermore, the linear motion drive source includes a rotary power source, a disc, actuating teeth, a rack, and an elastic support. The disc is rotatably disposed outside the outer basin. The rotary power source drives the disc to rotate continuously. A plurality of actuating teeth are evenly spaced circumferentially on a portion of the sidewall of the disc. The rack is vertically disposed on the stopcock and can mesh with the actuating teeth during the rotation of the disc. The elastic support is supported between the piston and the bottom surface of the water storage cylinder. The supporting force of the elastic support is less than the force of the actuating teeth pressing down on the rack, and it can push the piston to reset after the actuating teeth disengage from the rack.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer basin includes a base basin, a central telescopic sleeve, a top cylinder, and a height adjustment support frame. The base basin, the central telescopic sleeve, and the top cylinder are connected sequentially from bottom to top. The central telescopic sleeve can extend and retract axially. The height adjustment support frame is supported between the outside of the top cylinder and the bottom surface. The height of the height adjustment support frame is adjustable. The support frame is disposed inside the top cylinder.

[0015] Furthermore, the height adjustment support frame includes multiple support rods, which are circumferentially spaced apart. Each support rod includes a support rod, a sleeve rod, and a locking screw. The support rod and the sleeve rod can be slidably inserted into each other and supported between the top cylinder and the bottom surface. The locking screw is disposed on the sleeve rod. Rotating the locking screw will cause the locking screw to abut against the support rod.

[0016] Furthermore, the support includes multiple support blocks, which are circumferentially spaced and arranged on the inner wall of the top cylinder to form the support.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] The above-mentioned flowerpot with automatic water filling function is used normally when the planter places the planting pot on the support inside the outer pot. When the grower needs to leave, first remove the planting pot from the outer pot and place it on the ground. Then, clamp the end of the water pipe onto the pipe clamp and align the end of the water pipe with the inner cavity of the planting pot. Next, fill the outer pot with water. Finally, start the water pumping mechanism, and the grower can leave. After that, the water pumping mechanism pumps water regularly and intermittently to automatically irrigate the plants.

[0019] Using this flowerpot with automatic water filling, the planting pot can be placed inside the outer pot, thus taking up less space. When used as a regular flowerpot, the water pumping mechanism automatically waters the plants when the grower is away for an extended period, preventing the plants from wilting due to prolonged absence.

[0028] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be practiced in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of the invention; therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides an automatically watering flowerpot, including an outer pot 100, a planting pot 200, a support 300, a water pumping mechanism 400, a water pipe 500, and a pipe clamp 600. The outer pot 100 has a liquid outlet at its bottom. The planting pot 200 is used for planting flowers and can be placed inside the outer pot 100. The support 300 is located inside the outer pot to support the planting pot 200. The water pumping mechanism 400 is located outside the outer pot 100 and communicates with the liquid outlet, enabling it to regularly and intermittently pump water from the outer pot 100. For example, in specific implementations, it can pump water once every 6 hours, 12 hours, or 24 hours. The water pipe 500 is connected to the water outlet of the water pumping mechanism 400. The pipe clamp 600 is located on the top of the planting pot and is used to clamp the end of the water pipe 500.

[0030] During normal cultivation, the planting pot 200 is placed on the support 300 inside the outer pot 100, and the entire flower pot is used as a normal flower pot. When the grower needs to go out, first remove the planting pot 200 from the outer pot 100 and place it on the ground. Then, clamp the end of the water pipe 500 onto the pipe clamp 600 and align the end of the water pipe 500 with the inner cavity of the planting pot 200. Next, fill the outer pot 100 with water. Finally, start the water pumping mechanism 400, and the grower can leave. After that, the water pumping mechanism 400 pumps water regularly and intermittently to automatically irrigate the plants.

[0031] Using this flowerpot with automatic water filling, the planting pot 200 can be placed inside the outer pot 100, thus taking up less space. When used as a regular flowerpot, the water pumping mechanism 400 automatically waters the plants when the grower is away for an extended period, preventing the plants from withering due to prolonged absence.

[0032] In this embodiment, the pumping mechanism 400 includes a one-way valve, a water storage tank 410, a piston 420, a stopper rod 430, and a linear motion drive source 440. The water storage tank 410 is vertically arranged. The bottom end of the water storage tank 410 is simultaneously connected to the liquid outlet and the water pipe 500. The one-way valve is located between the liquid outlet and the water storage tank 410, allowing water to flow only in one direction towards the water storage tank 410. The piston 420 is sealed and slidably arranged inside the water storage tank 410. The stopper rod 430 is arranged on the piston 420. The linear motion drive source 440 is connected to the stopper rod 430, enabling it to drive the stopper rod 430 to move up and down repeatedly in a regular and intermittent manner.

[0033] Specifically, the linear motion drive source 440 includes a rotary power source, a disc 441, actuating teeth 442, a rack 443, and an elastic support 444. The disc 441 is rotatably mounted outside the outer basin 100, and the rotary power source drives the disc 441 to rotate continuously. In specific implementations, the rotary power source can be any mechanism capable of driving the disc 441 to rotate, such as a rotary motor, gear mechanism, etc. If watering is required every 6 hours, the rotary power source needs to drive the disc 441 to rotate for a 6-hour cycle; similarly, if watering is required every 12 hours, the rotary power source needs to drive the disc 441 to rotate for a 12-hour cycle, and so on. Multiple actuating teeth 442 are evenly spaced circumferentially on a portion of the sidewall of the disc 441. In specific implementations, the rack 443 is vertically mounted on the stopper rod 430 and can engage with the actuating teeth 442 during the rotation of the disc 441. The elastic support 444 is supported between the piston 420 and the inner bottom surface of the water storage cylinder 410. The supporting force of the elastic support 444 is less than the force of the actuating tooth 442 pressing down on the rack 443 and can push the piston 420 to reset after the actuating tooth 442 disengages from the rack 443.

[0034] In use, when the user is away, the planting pot 200 is removed from the outer pot 100. The rotating power source drives the disc 441 to rotate. When the actuating tooth 442 engages with the rack 443, the rotation of the disc 441 pushes the rack 443 down, pushing the water from the water storage cylinder 410 into the water pipe 500 and watering the planting pot 200. At this time, the elastic support 444 gradually contracts. When the actuating tooth 442 separates from the rack 443, the elastic force of the elastic support 444 pushes the piston 420 up, opening the one-way valve, and the water is pumped back into the water storage cylinder 410, ready for the next watering. Of course, in other embodiments, the linear motion drive source 440 can also be other types of mechanisms, such as a telescopic motor driving the stop rod 430 to extend and retract regularly.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the outer basin 100 includes a base basin 110, a central telescopic sleeve 120, a top cylinder 130, and a height adjustment support frame 140. The base basin 110, the central telescopic sleeve 120, and the top cylinder 130 are connected sequentially from bottom to top. The central telescopic sleeve 120 can extend and retract axially. The height adjustment support frame 140 is supported between the outside of the top cylinder 130 and the bottom surface. The height of the height adjustment support frame 140 is adjustable. The bracket 300 is disposed inside the top cylinder 130.

[0036] Using this method, users can flexibly change the height of the outer basin 100 according to the length of their absence, thereby changing the volume of the outer basin and making it easier to store more water.

[0037] In this embodiment, the height adjustment support frame 140 includes four support rods, which are circumferentially spaced. Each support rod includes a support rod, a sleeve rod, and a locking screw. The support rod and the sleeve rod can be slidably inserted and supported between the top cylinder 130 and the bottom surface. The locking screw is located on the sleeve rod. By rotating the locking screw, the locking screw can press against the support rod.

[0038] When the height of the outer basin needs to be increased by 100 mm, first loosen all the locking screws, pull down the four support rods to the required length, and then tighten the four locking screws. Conversely, when the height of the outer basin needs to be decreased by 100 mm, push the support rods inward.

[0039] In this embodiment, the support 300 includes a plurality of support blocks 310, which are circumferentially spaced on the inner wall of the top cylinder 130 to form the support 300. Of course, in other embodiments, the support 300 may also be in other forms, such as a support plate, a support mesh, etc.

[0040] The flowerpot with automatic water filling can be used as a normal flowerpot under normal circumstances. When the grower goes out, the water pump 400 can be turned on to automatically water the planter. In addition, since the volume of the outer pot 100 is variable, the user can pre-store water as much as possible according to the situation when going out, which further improves the convenience of use.

[0041] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
