[0021] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more comprehensive description of the utility model will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which show several embodiments of the utility model. However, the utility model can be implemented in different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described in the text. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the utility model more thorough and comprehensive.
[0022] This utility model provides a semi-intelligent cutting propagation device suitable for home balconies. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figures 1-5 As shown, the cultivation box 2 is made of transparent PE material, with a base frame 1 and a support plate fixedly connected to the bottom of both sides. The cultivation box 2 is set on the top of the base frame 1, and a substrate tray 3 is set inside the cultivation box 2. A top cover 4 is set on the top of the cultivation box 2. The base frame 1 and the substrate tray 3 form a pull-out structure with the cultivation box 2. An automatic watering component 7 for automatic seedling irrigation is set on one side of the cultivation box 2. A soil temperature and humidity detector 8 is embedded in the seedling substrate filled in one of the planting holes on the top of the substrate tray 3. The soil temperature and humidity detector 8 adopts a low-power wireless sensor and connects to a mobile terminal via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to provide real-time data feedback and support remote control.
[0023] In this embodiment, the bottom frame 1 is installed in a drawer-like manner between two support plates. The bottom of the bottom frame is flush with the support plates and the bottom of the water storage tank. The support plates support the cultivation box 2, facilitating the pulling out of the bottom frame 1. A suitable cultivation box 2 is selected based on the balcony size, and the length of the cultivation box 2 can be 40cm, 60cm, or 80cm to suit different balcony spaces. The first T-shaped sliding strip 101 at the top of the bottom frame 1 is inserted into the first T-shaped sliding groove 102 at the bottom of the cultivation box 2, and the substrate tray 3 is filled with seedling substrate. After the soil is sized, it is pushed into cultivation box 2. The plant type is set through the control module. The control module is an external microcontroller control module, which is based on a microcontroller (such as STM32 or ESP32) and composed of peripheral circuits (such as sensors, communication modules, power supplies, etc.). Typically, after the microcontroller (such as ESP32 or STM32) is powered on, the Wi-Fi module (such as ESP8266) and sensor interface are initialized. The control module periodically sends environmental data (such as soil moisture and light intensity) to the cloud server (AWS) via Wi-Fi. (IoT, Alibaba Cloud IoT, and other platforms) The mobile APP sends control commands to the cloud, provides real-time data feedback, and supports remote control. The system automatically matches humidity thresholds and lighting schemes through the control module. The soil temperature and humidity detector 8 can be model ESP32, which supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functions and has a power supply voltage of 6.3V-50V. It can be used for remote monitoring of soil temperature and humidity in plant cultivation. Inserted into the seedling substrate, the soil temperature and humidity detector 8 collects data every 30 minutes. When the humidity is lower than the set threshold, the control module triggers the pressure pump 72 to start, and irrigation is carried out through the nozzle 76 in a misting mode. The light-absorbing film and shade net of the device are placed in the tool compartment of the device, so that shading or supplemental lighting can be selected according to the habits of the plants cultivated in the device.
[0024] Furthermore, the top of the bottom frame 1 is fixedly connected to a first T-shaped sliding strip 101 that is slidably connected to the first T-shaped sliding groove 102 opened at the bottom of the cultivation box 2. The bottom of the bottom frame 1 is fixedly connected to a drain outlet 103, one end of which is connected to an external water storage container. In use, the bottom frame 1 has a pull-out design. During installation, simply align the first T-shaped sliding strip 101 with the first T-shaped sliding groove 102 and push it in to complete the installation. This facilitates the recycling of sprayed water, which is then discharged into the external water storage container through the drain outlet 103 for collection, saving water resources. When the bottom frame 1 needs to be cleaned, simply pull it out for easy maintenance and cleaning.
[0025] Furthermore, both sides of the substrate tray 3 are fixedly connected with second T-shaped sliding strips 301 that are slidably connected to the second T-shaped sliding grooves 302 opened in the inner wall of the cultivation box 2. The bottom of the substrate tray 3 is provided with several equally spaced drainage holes 303. The bottom of the inner cavity of the cultivation box 2 is fixedly connected with a lower support frame 6 that supports the substrate tray 3. When in use, the substrate tray 3 adopts a pull-out design, which is convenient for installation and disassembly and easy for maintenance and cleaning. The drainage holes 303 opened in the bottom of the second T-shaped sliding strips 301 facilitate drainage, thereby avoiding root rot of plants.
[0026] Furthermore, the top cover 4 has exhaust holes 401 on its four side walls, and an installation slot 402 for installing a light-absorbing film or a shade net is provided on the top of the top cover 4. The bottom four corners of the top cover 4 are fixedly connected with insertion rods 403 that are compatible with the insertion holes 404 on the top of the cultivation box 2. In use, the light-absorbing film and shade net can be easily installed through the installation slots 402 on the top of the top cover 4. Whether to provide shade or supplement light can be selected according to the habits of the plants cultivated in the device. The insertion rods 403 and the insertion holes 404 are used to facilitate the installation of the top cover 4. The exhaust holes 401 facilitate ventilation, which is conducive to the growth of the plants.
[0027] Furthermore, the automatic watering component 7 includes a water storage tank 71 located on one side of the cultivation box 2. A pressure pump 72 is installed on the top of the water storage tank 71. The input end of the pressure pump 72 is fixedly connected to a water inlet pipe 73, and the output end of the pressure pump 72 is fixedly connected to a liquid guide pipe 74. The liquid guide pipe 74 is connected to a spray pipe 75 through a support frame 5 inside the cultivation box 2. Several equally spaced nozzles 76 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the spray pipe 75. In use, the humidity of the seedling substrate is detected by the soil temperature and humidity detector 8, which triggers the pressure pump 72 to start through the control module. The pressure pump 72 delivers the spray water in the water storage tank 71 to the liquid guide pipe 74, and then to the spray pipe 75. The water is then irrigated in a misting mode through the nozzles 76 to ensure the growth of the plants.
[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, first select a cultivation box 2 of appropriate specifications according to the size of the balcony. Insert the first T-shaped slide bar 101 at the top of the bottom frame 1 into the first T-shaped slide groove 102 at the bottom of the cultivation box 2. After filling the substrate tray 3 with seedling substrate, push it into the cultivation box 2. Set the plant type through the control module. The system automatically matches the humidity threshold and light scheme. Collect data every 30 minutes through the soil temperature and humidity detector 8. When the humidity is lower than the set threshold, the pressure pump 72 is triggered by the control module. The pressure pump 72 delivers the spray water in the water storage tank 71 to the liquid guide pipe 74, and then to the spray pipe 75. Irrigate in a mist mode through the nozzle 76. The light-absorbing film and the shade net are placed in the tool compartment of the device. Then, whether to provide shade or supplement light can be selected according to the habits of the plants cultivated in the device.
