Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Detailed description follows.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: an auxiliary irrigation device for cultivating plants in flower baskets, including a main body 1, a turntable 2 rotatably mounted on the upper wall of the main body 1, a water tank 3 fixedly mounted on the turntable 2, a flexible hose 4 provided at the output end of the water tank 3, a spray head 5 connected to one end of the flexible hose 4, a fixed seat 6 fixedly mounted on the upper wall of the turntable 2, a lifting cylinder 7 slidably mounted on the fixed seat 6, a rotating cylinder 8 fixedly mounted on the upper end of the lifting cylinder 7, a hinge connecting seat 9 fixedly mounted on the rotating cylinder 8, and the spray head 5 rotatably mounted on the hinge connecting seat 9. The rotation axis of the rotating cylinder 8 coincides with the cylinder axis of the lifting cylinder 7, and the rotation axis of the spray head 5 and the rotation axis of the rotating cylinder 8 are on the same plane and perpendicular to each other. This device allows for mobile spraying, free steering, and adjustable pitch for precise spraying, saving water.
[0022] In this embodiment, a water pump 10 is installed inside the water tank 3. The water pump 10 is fixedly installed inside the water tank 3. The input end of the hose 4 is connected to the output end of the water pump 10. A mounting frame 11 is fixedly installed on the turntable 2. The hose 4 is installed inside the mounting frame 11 and is located at the upper end of the mounting frame 11. Water is delivered for spray irrigation by the water pump 10.
[0023] In this embodiment, a lifting motor 12 is fixedly installed inside the fixed base 6. The lifting motor 12 is fixedly installed on the upper wall of the turntable 2. A lead screw 13 is fixedly installed on the lifting motor 12. An inner sleeve 14 is fixedly installed inside the lifting cylinder 7. A threaded sleeve 15 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the inner sleeve 14. The threaded sleeve 15 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 13. The lifting motor 12 drives the lead screw 13 to rotate, which causes the threaded sleeve 15 to drive the inner sleeve 14, thereby causing the lifting cylinder 7 to move up and down, thus adjusting the height of the spray head 5, so that the plants on the flower basket cultivation rack are sprayed evenly.
[0024] In this embodiment, the upper end of the lifting cylinder 7 is fixedly installed with a swing motor 16, and the driving end of the swing motor 16 is fixedly connected inside the rotating cylinder 8 for swinging the spray head 5 left and right.
[0025] In this embodiment, a pitch motor 17 is fixedly installed on the hinge connecting seat 9, and the driving end of the pitch motor 17 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the spray head 5 for adjusting the pitch of the spray head 5.
[0026] In this embodiment, a walking frame 18 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the main vehicle body 1. Four walking wheels 19 are installed on the walking frame 18. The walking wheels 19 are tracked wheels and electric wheels. A pair of walking tracks 20 are respectively engaged and connected to the four walking wheels 19. The vehicle can move on dirt roads, rotate in place, reduce the range of movement, reduce the turning radius, and move more flexibly.
[0027] In this embodiment, a rechargeable battery 21 is fixedly installed on the lower wall of the main vehicle body 1, and a steering motor 22 is fixedly installed inside the main vehicle body 1. The drive end of the steering motor 22 is fixedly installed on the lower wall of the turntable 2 for adjusting the orientation of the entire device. When located between two pairs of frames, it can spray both sides without rotating the main vehicle body 1, only the structure above the turntable 2 needs to be rotated.
[0028] In this embodiment, the water tank 3 is further configured to have a water injection pipe 23 and a water outlet pipe 24 fixedly installed on its side wall. The water injection pipe 23 and the water outlet pipe 24 are used to add and drain the culture medium.
[0029] Its detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in this field; such as Figure 1-3 As shown, firstly, clean water or prepared culture medium is injected into the water tank 3 through the water injection pipe 23 on the side wall of the water tank 3 to ensure that the water tank 3 has sufficient water. Excess liquid can be discharged through the water outlet pipe 24 for easy management. When the area is small, a traction pipe can be used to continuously add water. Check whether all components of the equipment are normal, including the spray head 5, water pump 10, hose 4, and the walking tracks 20 and walking wheels 19 of the main vehicle body 1.
[0030] Turn on the equipment power, using the rechargeable battery 21 at the bottom of the main vehicle body 1 to power the equipment.

The design of the tracked wheels and electric wheels allows the equipment to adapt to various types of mud or complex road surfaces, and supports rotation in place for precise positioning.
[0031] The lifting motor 12 inside the fixed base 6 drives the lead screw 13 to rotate, thereby adjusting the height of the lifting cylinder 7 through the threaded sleeve 15. After the height is adjusted, the sprinkler head 5 at the top of the lifting cylinder 7 can accurately spray the flower basket plants at different heights.
[0032] The swing motor 16 on the lifting cylinder 7 is used to control the spray head 5 to swing left and right to spray.
[0033] If the pitch angle needs to be adjusted, the pitch angle of the spray head 5 can be adjusted by the pitch motor 17 on the hinge connector 9 to ensure that different parts of the plant are sprayed evenly.
[0034] The water pump 10 draws water from the water tank 3 and delivers it to the sprinkler head 5 through the hose 4. During irrigation, the rotation direction of the turntable 2 can be adjusted as needed to spray the plants on both sides. The steering motor 22 is responsible for rotating the turntable 2, eliminating the need to move the entire device.
[0035] The spray coverage and intensity can be adjusted by changing parameters such as the spray head angle and swing range, allowing for flexible operation based on the density of the flower basket cultivation and the needs of different plant species.
[0036] After irrigation is complete, move the equipment to the storage area. If the culture medium is used up, empty the remaining liquid in the water tank 3 through the water outlet pipe 24.
[0037] Check if the device needs cleaning and charge the rechargeable battery 21 to ensure the device has sufficient power for the next use.
[0038] It should be noted that in this paper, relational terms such as first and second are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.
