[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic watering planting pot that can automatically water potted plants.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is: an automatic watering planting pot, including a base, a water tank, a pot body, a connector, a valve stem, a compression spring, and a water suction component;

[0006] A water storage tank is provided on one side of the base, and a protrusion is provided at the bottom of the water storage tank. A water replenishment tank connected to the water storage tank is provided on the other side of the base.

[0007] The connector is sealed at the water outlet of the water tank. The connector has a water passage hole that communicates with the water outlet of the water tank. A valve hole is provided at the water passage hole. The valve stem slides axially through the valve hole. One end of the valve stem is provided with a sealing part for blocking the water passage hole. The other end of the valve stem is radially protruding to form a flange. A compression spring is provided on the valve stem and located between the valve hole and the flange.

[0008] The water tank is placed on one side of the base and the water passage hole of the connector is located in the water storage tank. The flange at the other end of the valve stem abuts against the protrusion at the bottom of the water storage tank. The gravity of the water tank causes the valve hole of the connector to move axially relative to the valve stem. The sealing part at one end of the valve stem moves away from the water passage hole. The water in the water tank flows through the water hole into the water storage tank and then from the water storage tank into the water replenishment tank.

[0009] The basin is placed in the water inlet on the other side of the base. One end of the water absorber is placed in the water inlet, and the other end is located inside the basin, so as to draw water from the water inlet into the soil inside the basin.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a sealing gasket is also included. The water outlet and the connector of the water tank are both cylindrical. One end of the connector is open to form an installation port, and the other end of the connector has the water passage hole. A diameter reduction section with a water passage channel is formed by axially protruding along one end of the connector at the water passage hole. An annular groove is formed between the outer circumference of the diameter reduction section and the inner circumference of the connector. The sealing gasket is placed in the annular groove. When the connector is sealed and installed in the water tank, the water outlet of the water tank abuts against the sealing component.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the sealing element is an elastic valve plate, which is disposed at one end of the valve stem and abuts against the diameter reduction section to block the water passage of the diameter reduction section.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, there are multiple water passage holes, which are evenly arranged around the valve hole. The water passage holes are axially protruding along the other end of the connector to form multiple first baffles. The flange at the other end of the valve stem slides axially in the sliding channel formed by the multiple first baffles. The other end of the connector is axially protruding to form multiple second baffles.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the protrusion is a first protrusion. When the water tank is placed on one side of the base, the flange at the other end of the valve stem abuts against the first protrusion, and the second baffle at the other end of the connector abuts against the bottom of the water storage tank.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the water tank outlet has an external thread on its outer circumference, and the connector has an internal thread on its inner circumference. The connector is fixed to the water tank outlet by the internal thread engaging with the external thread.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the vertical height of the water storage tank is higher than that of the water replenishment tank, a positioning groove is provided on one side of the base, and a positioning part is provided in the water tank at a position that matches the positioning groove. The positioning part is embedded in the positioning groove to fix the water tank to one side of the base.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, a positioning through hole is provided in the positioning groove, and a second protrusion is provided on the positioning part. When the positioning part is embedded in the positioning groove, the second protrusion is embedded in the positioning through hole.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the absorbent component is an absorbent cotton strip, and a plurality of absorbent columns are protruding from the basin. The absorbent cotton strip is placed in the absorbent columns, with one end of the absorbent cotton strip placed in the water replenishment groove, and the other end of the absorbent component extending from the top of the absorbent column into the basin.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the basin is provided with several drainage holes.

[0019] After adopting the above solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When the water tank of this utility model is placed on one side of the base, the water passage hole of the connector is located in the water storage tank, and the flange at the other end of the valve stem abuts against the protrusion at the bottom of the water storage tank. At this time, the gravity of the water tank causes the valve hole of the connector to move axially relative to the valve stem, and the sealing part at one end of the valve stem moves away from the water passage hole. When the water level in the water replenishment tank drops, the water in the water tank can flow through the water hole into the water storage tank, and then flow from the water storage tank into the water replenishment tank, realizing automatic water replenishment of the water replenishment tank. The basin is placed in the water replenishment tank on the other side of the base, one end of the water suction component is placed in the water replenishment tank, and the other end of the water suction component is located in the basin. The water in the water replenishment tank can be sucked into the soil in the basin through the water suction component, thereby realizing automatic watering. The structure is simple.

[0038] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0039] This embodiment provides an automatic watering planting pot, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, it includes a base 1, a water tank 2, a basin 3, a connector 4, a valve stem 5, a compression spring 6, and a water suction component 7;

[0040] A water storage tank 11 is provided on one side of the base 1, and a protrusion is provided at the bottom of the water storage tank 11. A water replenishment tank 12 connected to the water storage tank 11 is provided on the other side of the base 1.

[0041] The connector 4 is sealed and installed at the outlet 21 of the water tank 2. The connector 4 has a water passage hole 41 that communicates with the outlet 21 of the water tank 2. A valve hole 42 is provided at the water passage hole 41. The valve stem 5 is axially slidably inserted in the valve hole 42. One end of the valve stem 5 is provided with a sealing part 51 for sealing the water passage hole 41. The other end of the valve stem 5 is radially protruding to form a flange 52. The compression spring 6 is provided on the valve stem 5 and located between the valve hole 42 and the flange 52.

[0042] Water tank 2 is placed on one side of base 1 and the water passage hole 41 of connector 4 is located in water storage tank 11. The flange 52 at the other end of valve stem 5 abuts against the protrusion at the bottom of water storage tank 11. The gravity of water tank 2 causes valve hole 42 of connector 4 to move axially relative to valve stem 5. The sealing part 51 at one end of valve stem 5 moves away from water passage hole 41. Water from water tank 2 flows through water hole 41 into water storage tank 11 and from water storage tank 11 into water replenishment tank 12.

[0043] The basin 3 is placed in the water replenishment trough 12 on the other side of the base 1. One end of the water absorber 7 is placed in the water replenishment trough 12, and the other end of the water absorber 7 is located inside the basin 3, so as to draw water from the water replenishment trough 12 into the soil inside the basin 3.

[0044] Specifically, after the water tank 2 is placed on one side of the base 1, the gravity of the water tank 2 causes the connecting piece 4 to move vertically downward axially relative to the valve stem 5 through the valve hole 42. The sealing piece 51 at one end of the valve stem 5 moves away from the water passage hole 41, at which point the water passage hole 41 is normally open. Water from the water tank 2 flows through the water hole 41 into the water storage tank 11, and then from the water storage tank 11 into the water replenishment tank 12. Figure 4 As shown. Since the water storage tank 11 and the water replenishment tank 12 are connected, the water levels of the water storage tank 11 and the water replenishment tank 12 are at the same horizontal level.

[0045] When the overall water level of the water storage tank 11 and the water replenishment tank 12 rises to a height higher than the vertical height of the water passage hole 41, the water in the water tank 2 will no longer flow through the water passage hole 41 into the water storage tank 11 and the water replenishment tank 12. As the water suction component 7 draws water from the water replenishment tank 12 into the soil inside the pot 3, the overall water level of the water storage tank 11 and the water replenishment tank 12 begins to drop to a height lower than the vertical height of the water passage hole 41. At this time, the water in the water tank 2 continues to flow through the water passage hole 41 into the water storage tank 11 and the water replenishment tank 12, thereby achieving automatic water replenishment of the water replenishment tank 12. The water suction component 7 then continues to draw water from the water replenishment tank 12 into the soil inside the pot 3, thereby achieving automatic watering.

[0046] When the water in the water tank 2 drops to a certain height, the gravity of the water tank 2 is insufficient to overcome the restoring force of the compression spring 6. The elastic force of the compression spring 6 will push the connector 4 and the water tank 2. At this time, the valve hole 42 of the connector 4 will be axially displaced relative to the valve stem 5. The sealing part 51 at one end of the valve stem 5 will re-seal the water passage hole 41, thereby preventing the water in the water storage tank 11 from being sucked back into the water tank 2.

[0047] This embodiment achieves automatic watering based on the principle of communicating vessels. The structure is simple, and users only need to periodically remove the water tank 2 and refill it with water, eliminating the need for frequent manual watering and making operation convenient. Furthermore, the water tank 2 in this embodiment is made of transparent material, allowing users to easily observe the water level.

[0048] like Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, it also includes a sealing gasket 8. The water outlet 21 of the water tank 2 and the connector 4 are both cylindrical. One end of the connector 4 is open to form an installation port 43, and the other end of the connector 4 is provided with the water passage hole 41. A diameter reduction section 44 with a water passage channel 441 is formed by axially protruding along one end of the connector 4 at the water passage hole 41. An annular groove 45 is formed between the outer periphery of the diameter reduction section 44 and the inner periphery of the connector 4. The sealing gasket 8 is disposed in the annular groove 45. When the connector 4 is sealed and installed in the water tank 2, the water outlet 21 of the water tank 2 abuts against the sealing element.

[0049] In this embodiment, one end of the connector 4 is open to form an installation port 43, allowing the connector 4 to be easily fitted onto the outlet 21 of the water tank 2, simplifying the installation process. The sealing gasket 8 is placed in the annular groove 45 formed between the outer circumference of the diameter-reduced section 44 and the inner circumference of the connector 4. When the connector 4 is sealed and installed on the water tank 2, the outlet 21 of the water tank 2 abuts against the sealing gasket 8, effectively preventing water leakage from the connection point and ensuring the sealing performance of the water tank 2.

[0050] like Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the sealing element 51 is an elastic valve plate 511. The elastic valve plate 511 is disposed at one end of the valve stem 5 and abuts against the diameter reduction section 44, and is used to block the water passage 441 of the diameter reduction section 44.

[0051] Because the elastic valve plate 511 is elastic, it can fit tightly against the diameter reduction section 44, thereby effectively blocking the water passage 441 of the diameter reduction section 44 and ensuring sealing.

[0052] like Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, there are multiple water passage holes 41, which are evenly arranged around the valve hole 42, but this is not the only possibility. Multiple first baffles 46 are axially protruding from the other end of the connector 4. The flange 52 at the other end of the valve stem 5 slides axially in the sliding channel 461 formed by the multiple first baffles 46, providing guidance for the axial movement of the valve stem 5 and preventing the valve stem 5 from shifting or shaking during movement. Multiple second baffles 47 are axially protruding from the other end of the connector 4. When the water tank 2 is placed on one side of the base 1, the connector 4 is located in the water storage tank 11. The gravity of the water tank 2 causes the connector 4 to move vertically downward relative to the valve stem 5 through the valve hole 42. At this time, the second baffles 47 abut against the bottom of the water storage tank 11, providing support for the water tank 2 and ensuring that the sealing part 51 at one end of the valve stem 5 is away from the water passage hole 41, while the water passage hole 41 is in a normally open state.

[0053] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the protrusion in this embodiment is the first protrusion 111, which is axially arranged, but not limited thereto. When the water tank 2 is placed on one side of the base 1, the flange 52 at the other end of the valve stem 5 abuts against the first protrusion 111. The gravity of the water tank 2 causes the connecting piece 4 to move vertically downward axially relative to the valve stem 5 through the valve hole 42. The second baffle 47 at the other end of the connecting piece 4 abuts against the bottom of the water storage tank 11, which supports the water tank 2 and ensures that the sealing piece 51 at one end of the valve stem 5 is away from the water passage hole 41, while the water passage hole 41 is in a normally open state. The structure is simple.

[0054] like Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the water outlet 21 of the water tank 2 has an external thread 22 on its outer periphery, and the connector 4 has an internal thread 48 on its inner periphery. The connector 4 is screwed and fixed to the water outlet 21 of the water tank 2 by the internal thread 48 and the external thread 22. The processing is simple, which makes the installation and removal of the connector 4 and the water outlet 21 of the water tank 2 more convenient and facilitates the user to replenish the water tank 2.

[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the vertical height of the water storage tank 11 is higher than that of the water replenishment tank 12, but it is not limited to this. This facilitates the flow of water from the water storage tank 11 to the water replenishment tank 12. A positioning groove 13 is provided on one side of the base 1. The water tank 2 has a positioning part 23 at a position matching the positioning groove 13. The positioning part 23 is embedded in the positioning groove 13 to fix the water tank 2 to one side of the base 1, enabling quick positioning of the water tank 2 during installation and providing a fixing function to prevent the water tank 2 from shaking during use. Specifically, as... Figure 5 As shown, the water tank 2 in this embodiment is cuboid in shape, with two positioning slots 13 and two positioning parts 23. The water storage tank 11 and the two positioning slots 13 are longitudinally arranged on one side of the base 1, with the water storage tank 11 located between the two positioning slots 13. Correspondingly, the water outlet 21 of the water tank 2 is located in the middle of the water tank 2. Of course, in other embodiments, the shape and number of the water storage tank 11, water tank 2, positioning parts 23, and positioning slots 13 can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0056] like Figure 1 , Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the positioning groove 13 of this embodiment is provided with a positioning through hole 14, and the positioning part 23 is provided with a second protrusion 24. When the positioning part 23 is embedded in the positioning groove 13, the second protrusion 24 is embedded in the positioning through hole 14, which can further fix the water tank 2 and improve the stability of the water tank 2.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the absorbent component 7 is an absorbent cotton strip 71. Several absorbent columns 32 are protruding inside the basin body 3. The absorbent cotton strip 71 is placed in the absorbent column 32. One end of the absorbent cotton strip 71 is placed in the water replenishment tank 12, and the other end of the absorbent component 7 extends from the top of the absorbent column 32 into the basin body 3.

[0058] The absorbent cotton strip 71 in this embodiment has good water absorption and retention properties. It can continuously absorb water from the water replenishment tank 12 and slowly and steadily transport the absorbed water to the soil in the basin 3. The absorbent column 32 has a hollow internal design, with the absorbent element 7 disposed inside. The absorbent column 32 can be integrally formed with the basin 3, i.e., it protrudes from the bottom of the basin 3. Of course, multiple absorbent columns 32 can be provided, each with a different vertical height, to achieve water replenishment to soil at different heights within the basin 3.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom of the basin 3 is provided with several water seepage holes 31, which are connected to the water replenishment tank 12. When the basin 3 is placed in the water replenishment tank 12, the water in the water replenishment tank 12 can directly enter the soil at the bottom of the basin 3 through the water seepage holes 31. With the help of water absorption components 7 of different heights, the soil at all heights of the basin 3 can be replenished with water. The structure is simple.

[0060] The directional terms used in this specification are defined relative to the structures shown in the accompanying drawings. They are relative concepts and may therefore vary depending on their location and usage. Therefore, these or other directional terms should not be interpreted as restrictive.

[0061] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the design of this case. All equivalent changes made based on the key design of this case shall fall within the protection scope of this case.
