Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an agricultural implement, specifically an automatic watering flowerpot. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, commercially available automatic watering flower pots mainly control irrigation through timers or soil moisture sensors, with the core purpose of reducing the frequency of manual watering. Common irrigation methods include top drip irrigation, bottom-supplying via a permeable core, or simple sprinkler systems.

[0003] The aforementioned existing technical solutions have significant shortcomings: First, single or extensive watering methods (such as watering only the roots or spraying only from the top) cannot achieve layered and comprehensive wetting of the plant. This results in the upper leaves of the plant potentially wilting due to dry air without receiving effective spraying, the middle leaves failing to be adequately nourished by the water mist, and the root zone near the soil potentially suffering from insufficient irrigation due to water evaporation or inadequate spraying, affecting the overall healthy growth and photosynthetic efficiency of the plant. Second, the fixed pot design causes the plant's leaves to face a relatively fixed direction during growth, and the leaves on the shaded side cannot receive sufficient sunlight for a long time, easily leading to phototropism, uneven plant shape, and delayed development of leaves on the shaded side, ultimately reducing the plant's ornamental value and growth quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides an automatic watering flower pot.

[0005] This utility model provides an automatic watering flowerpot, comprising: an outer basin; an inner basin rotatably connected to the inner circumferential surface of the top of the outer basin; a vertical cylinder connected to the top of the outer basin, the vertical cylinder having a first water spray hole, a second water spray hole, and a third water spray hole from top to bottom; and a water supply assembly disposed on the outer basin for supplying water to the first water spray hole, the second water spray hole, and the third water spray hole; when the water supply assembly supplies water to the first water spray hole, the second water spray hole, and the third water spray hole, the inner basin can rotate relative to the outer basin.

[0006] Optionally, the water delivery assembly includes a water pump, a branch pipe, a first spray pipe, a main outlet pipe, and a suction pipe. The water pump is connected to the outer basin. The inlet of the water pump is connected to the inner bottom of the outer basin through the suction pipe. The outlet of the water pump is connected to the branch pipe through the main outlet pipe.

[0018] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0020] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "embodiment," "one embodiment," "some implementations," "exemplary," and "one implementation," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or implementation is included in at least one embodiment or implementation of the present invention. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or implementation. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or implementations.

[0021] The terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.

[0022] This utility model provides an automatic watering flowerpot, including: an outer basin 1; an inner basin 2, rotatably connected to the inner circumferential surface of the top of the outer basin 1; a vertical cylinder 3, connected to the top of the outer basin 1, the vertical cylinder 3 having a first water spray hole 31, a second water spray hole 32 and a third water spray hole 33 from top to bottom; and a water supply component 4, disposed on the outer basin 1, for supplying water to the first water spray hole 31, the second water spray hole 32 and the third water spray hole 33; when the water supply component 4 supplies water to the first water spray hole 31, the second water spray hole 32 and the third water spray hole 33, the inner basin 2 can rotate relative to the outer basin 1.

[0023] In this optional embodiment, by setting the first water spray hole 31, the second water spray hole 32, and the third water spray hole 33 from high to low, the water supply component 4 supplies water to the first water spray hole 31, the second water spray hole 32, and the third water spray hole 33, thereby enabling comprehensive water spraying of the upper leaves, middle leaves, and rootstock of the plant. While spraying water, the inner pot 2 can also automatically rotate relative to the outer pot 1, so that the leaves of different parts of the plant can be exposed to light, resulting in better plant growth.

[0024] In other alternative embodiments, solenoid valves are installed on the first water spray hole 31, the second water spray hole 32 and the third water spray hole 33 to achieve targeted water spraying of specific parts of the plant.

[0025] Optionally, the water supply assembly 4 includes a water pump 41, a water outlet branch pipe 42, a first spray pipe 43, a water outlet main pipe 46, and a water suction pipe. The water pump 41 is connected to the outer basin 1. The water inlet of the water pump 41 is connected to the inner bottom of the outer basin 1 through the water suction pipe. The water outlet of the water pump 41 is connected to the water outlet branch pipe 42 through the water outlet main pipe 46. One end of the first spray pipe 43 is connected to the water outlet branch pipe 42, and the other end of the first spray pipe 43 is inserted into the vertical cylinder 3 and connected to the first spray hole 31, the second spray hole 32, and the third spray hole 33.

[0026] In this optional embodiment, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the water pump 41 draws water from the outer basin 1 into the main water outlet pipe 46 through the water pumping pipe, and then delivers it into the first spray pipe 43 through the main water outlet pipe 46, and finally sprays it out through the first spray hole 31, the second spray hole 32 and the third spray hole 33.

[0027] Furthermore, a water turbine blade 5 is connected to the center of the bottom surface of the outer basin 1, and the water delivery assembly 4 also includes a second nozzle 44. One end of the second nozzle 44 is connected to the main water outlet pipe 46, and the other end of the second nozzle 44 is inclined toward the water turbine blade 5.

[0028] Specifically, the inner pot 2 is made of lightweight plastic material and has a shorter height, which not only reduces the overall weight of the inner pot 2 but also reduces the amount of soil that can be filled into it. As a result, the overall weight of the inner pot 2 after planting is also lighter, making it easier to rotate. It should be noted that due to the limited height of the inner pot 2, the depth of the soil that can be filled is limited, so it can only meet the planting needs of plants with short root systems. In order to further enable the inner pot 2 to rotate under the impact of water flow, a ball bearing seat can be installed on the inner circumferential wall of the outer pot 1, and the bottom edge of the inner pot 2 is rolled and connected to the ball bearing seat.

[0029] In this optional embodiment, the other end of the second nozzle 44, i.e., the water nozzle of the second nozzle 44, is tilted towards the water wheel blade 5, thereby impacting the water wheel blade 5 and causing the inner basin 2 to rotate. The water that is washed down is then stored in the outer basin 1. It should be noted that since the water pump 41 pumps water in different amounts each time and the pumping time is short, the inner basin 2 does not need to rotate continuously or rotate at a large angle. It is sufficient to rotate the inner basin 2 at a small angle each time it is watered, such as 20° or 30°. In this way, when planting light-loving plants with short root systems, the inner basin 2 can automatically rotate at a small angle each time it is watered, so that the leaves of different parts of the plant can be exposed to light within a certain time period, resulting in better plant growth.

[0030] Optionally, the water delivery assembly 4 also includes a water guide plate 45, which is disposed at the connection between the main water outlet pipe 46 and the second nozzle 44, and is connected to the inner wall of the main water outlet pipe 46 so that at least part of the water enters the second nozzle 44 after being guided by the water guide plate 45.

[0031] In this optional embodiment, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the water guide plate 45 can be arc-shaped, with one end welded to the inner wall of one side of the main water outlet pipe 46, and the other end of the water guide plate 45 extending downward and toward the inner wall of the other side of the main water outlet pipe 46. In this way, when the water in the main water outlet pipe 46 flows from bottom to top, the water guide plate 45 can guide some of the water into the second spray pipe 44. Since the spray nozzle of the second spray pipe 44 is tilted toward the water wheel blade 5, it can drive the water wheel blade 5 to rotate, thereby driving the inner basin 2 to rotate.

[0032] Furthermore, a PLC control panel 8 is installed on the outer basin 1, and the PLC control panel 8 is electrically connected to the water pump 41.

[0033] In this optional embodiment, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the PLC control panel 8 can be a small panel and is installed on the outer surface of the outer pot 1. The PLC control panel 8 controls the water pump 41 to water the plants.

[0034] Optionally, a water level sensor 6 is provided inside the outer basin 1, and the water level sensor 6 is electrically connected to the PLC control panel 8.

[0035] In this optional embodiment, combined with Figure 3As shown, the water level sensor 6 is vertically installed inside the outer basin 1. The water level sensor 6 can be fixed to the inner wall of the outer basin 1 by a mounting bracket. By setting the minimum and maximum threshold values ​​of the water level sensor 6, when the water level in the outer basin 1 reaches the minimum threshold value, the water level sensor 6 sends a signal to the PLC control panel 8. The PLC control panel 8 can indicate insufficient water by illuminating a red light. Water is added to the outer basin 1 through the water inlet hole on the upper side of the outer basin 1. When the water level in the outer basin 1 reaches or exceeds the maximum threshold value, the water level sensor 6 sends a signal to the PLC control panel 8. The PLC control panel 8 can indicate sufficient water by illuminating a green light.

[0036] Furthermore, a soil moisture sensor 7 is installed inside the inner basin 2, and the soil moisture sensor 7 is electrically connected to the PLC control panel 8.

[0037] In this optional embodiment, combined with Figure 3 As shown, after planting the plant in the soil of the inner pot 2, the soil moisture sensor 7 is inserted into the soil to detect the soil moisture content. According to the soil moisture content required by the plant, the minimum and maximum thresholds of the soil moisture sensor 7 are set. When the soil moisture sensor 7 detects that the soil moisture content is lower than the minimum threshold, the soil moisture sensor 7 sends a signal to the PLC control panel 8, and the PLC control panel 8 controls the water pump 41 to start. When the soil moisture sensor 7 detects that the soil moisture content is greater than or equal to the maximum threshold, the PLC control panel 8 controls the water pump 41 to turn off.

[0038] Although the present invention has been disclosed above, its protection scope is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such changes and modifications will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
