[0002] Traditional vegetable growing boxes, limited by their fixed structure, confined space, and inefficient resource utilization, struggle to meet the needs of urban agriculture and home gardening. Existing technologies often use single materials (such as plastic or wood), lacking optimized air permeability and drainage, which can easily lead to root rot or uneven moisture distribution. While some smart growing boxes incorporate automatic irrigation or supplemental lighting, their high cost and reliance on external energy sources limit their widespread adoption. Furthermore, traditional designs lack modular expansion capabilities, failing to adapt to the diverse growth needs of vegetables (such as root depth and photoperiod). Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of growing box that is low-cost, energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and flexibly combinable, integrating efficient water and fertilizer management, lightweight materials, and ecological planting technologies to improve the efficiency of home and small-scale farming.

A circular fixing plate is fixedly installed at the top of the fine-tuning shaft. A planting box is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the fixing plate. A humidity sensor is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the planting box. A planting board is installed inside the opening of the planting box.

[0025] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a novel vegetable planting box includes a box body 1, an auxiliary box 2 on the side of the box body 1, a box cover 3 on the top of the box body 1, and an irrigation device 4 inside the box body 1. The irrigation device 4 includes a motor 41, which is located on the side of the auxiliary box 2. A reciprocating screw 42 is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the motor 41. A reciprocating sleeve 43 is threadedly connected to the circumferential surface of the reciprocating screw 42. A push rod 44 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the reciprocating sleeve 43. A push plate 45 is provided on the side of the push rod 44. One end of a spring 46 is fixedly connected to the side of the push plate 45. A water tank 47 is fixedly connected to the end of the spring 46 away from the push plate 45. A force rod 48 is fixedly connected to the side of the push plate 45. A piston 49 is fixedly connected to the side of the force rod 48. A hose 410 is provided on the side of the water tank 47. A nozzle 411 is provided at the bottom of the hose 410.

[0027] The nozzle 411 has a nozzle 412 at the bottom, the reciprocating threaded sleeve 43 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the limit telescopic rod 413, the hose 410 has a fixing ring 414 on its circumference, and the auxiliary box 2 has an auxiliary cover 415 on its top. This design is conducive to the limit telescopic rod 413 limiting the reciprocating threaded rod 42.

[0028] There are two push rods 44, which are symmetrical to each other along the vertical central axis of the reciprocating threaded sleeve 43. The water tank 47 is located inside the auxiliary box 2. The force rod 48 passes through the side of the water tank 47. This design is beneficial for the force rod 48 to compress the piston 49.

[0029] According to the above structure, when the worker needs to irrigate, first open the auxiliary cover 415 and pour the liquid for spraying into the water tank 47. Then, the worker can turn on the external power supply, forcing the motor 41 to start, causing the reciprocating screw 42 to rotate and drive the reciprocating sleeve 43 to make reciprocating linear motion through the limiting telescopic rod 413. At the same time, the push rod 44 fixed on the circumference of the reciprocating sleeve 43 is pushed by the force to push the push plate 45. At this time, the force rod 48 fixed on the side of the push plate 45 slides on the side of the water tank 47, thereby compressing the piston 49. The liquid in the water tank 47 is squeezed into the hose 410, and then from the hose 410 into the nozzle 411, and is sprayed out from several nozzles 412 to achieve the watering effect. When the push plate 45 loses its force, the spring 46 fixed to the side of the push plate 45 can use its own elasticity to drive the push plate 45 to reset, so that the force rod 48 and piston 49 are reset. This can achieve the effect of intermittent watering by the nozzles 412, avoiding the drawback of manual watering by the staff, improving work efficiency and reducing the workload of the staff.

[0030] like Figure 5-6As shown, the box 1 is equipped with an adjustment device 5. The adjustment device 5 includes a pulley 51, which is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the reciprocating lead screw 42. The circumferential surface of the pulley 51 is connected to a belt 52. The inner wall of the auxiliary box 2 is rotatably connected to a rotating rod 53. The outer surface of the rotating rod 53 is fixedly connected to a first bevel gear 54. The inner wall of the box 1 is rotatably connected to a threaded rod 55. The circumferential surface of the threaded rod 55 is fixedly connected to a second bevel gear 56. This design is beneficial for the belt 52 to drive the rotating rod 53 to rotate.

[0031] The threaded rod 55 is threadedly connected to the circumferential surface of the threaded rod 55, and the threaded rod 58 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the threaded rod 57. An auxiliary limiting rod 59 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod 57.

[0032] The threaded rod 55 runs through the side of the housing 1, the connecting rod 58 is fixedly connected to the top of the nozzle 411, and the auxiliary limiting rod 59 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. This design is beneficial for the connecting rod 58 to connect to the nozzle 411.

[0033] There are several nozzles 412 arranged in a linear array at the bottom of the nozzle 411. The limiting telescopic rod 413 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the auxiliary box 2. This design is conducive to the nozzles 412 irrigating the plants in the planting box more evenly.

[0034] According to the above structure, when the reciprocating screw 42 is subjected to force and rotates, the pulley 51 fixed on the circumference of the reciprocating screw 42 rotates, causing the pulley 51 to drive another pulley 51 fixed on the circumference of the rotating rod 53 to rotate via the belt 52, thereby realizing the rotation of the rotating rod 53. At the same time, the first bevel gear 54 fixed on the circumference of the rotating rod 53 is subjected to force and rotates. Through the meshing of the two bevel gears, the second bevel gear 56 fixed on the circumference of the threaded rod 55 rotates, forcing the threaded rod 55 to rotate and carrying the threaded sleeve 57 to make reciprocating linear motion through the auxiliary limiting rod 59. At the same time, the connecting rod 58 fixed on the circumference of the threaded sleeve 57 also drives the nozzle 411 to move left and right inside the housing 1. The adjustment of the nozzle 411 expands the range of automatic irrigation, reduces the working time of the staff, and improves work efficiency.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
