Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of plant planting devices, specifically a plant planting device capable of regulating soil moisture. Background Technology
[0002] Plant cultivation is an art that blends natural laws with meticulous care. From selecting seeds based on climate and space, testing and improving the soil, to precise sowing or transplanting, the process requires adhering to the principles of "watering when dry" and "fertilizing frequently with light fertilizer," combined with timely pruning and biological control of pests and diseases. At the same time, attention must be paid to environmental details such as light and ventilation to ensure healthy plant growth. Whether creating a lush garden or harvesting fresh fruits and vegetables, one can reap nature's gifts with patience and love.
[0003] A search revealed a plant planting device for regulating soil moisture, disclosed in Chinese utility model patent publication number CN222170586U. This device features a water outlet pipe connected to a ring-shaped drip pipe positioned directly above a flowerpot. An electric water valve is mounted on the water outlet pipe. A humidity sensor is installed inside the flowerpot, with its lead wire passing through a vent at the bottom of the pot and connecting to the signal input of a PLC controller. The PLC controller's signal output is electrically connected to the electric water valve. The PLC controller parameters are set according to different soil moisture experimental requirements to control the opening and closing of the electric water valve, ensuring the soil moisture in the flowerpot reaches a set value. This allows for experiments studying different water stress conditions without requiring manual watering or weighing, simplifying operation. Furthermore, the combined use of the humidity sensor and PLC controller improves the accuracy of moisture content control, preventing inaccurate results in water stress research experiments.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 A plant planting device capable of regulating soil moisture includes a box 1, a water collection box 2 fixedly installed on the right side of the box 1, a flower pot 3 inside the water collection box 2, an adjustment structure 4 outside the box 1, and an irrigation structure 5 outside the box 1.
[0025] The adjustment structure 4 includes a fixed arc block 401. The fixed arc block 401 is installed inside the water collection box 2. An electric slide rail 402 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the fixed arc block 401. A movable arc block 403 is installed on the outer surface of the electric slide rail 402. An installation block 404 is fixedly installed on the right side of the box 1. A drive motor 405 is fixedly installed inside the installation block 404. A first threaded rod 406 is rotatably connected inside the installation block 404. A sleeve rod 407 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the first threaded rod 406. An adjustment block 408 is movably connected to the outer surface of the sleeve rod 407. An extension sleeve 409 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the adjustment block 408. A second threaded rod 410 is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the extension sleeve 409.
[0026] Furthermore, the irrigation structure 5 includes an arc-shaped irrigation block 501. The arc-shaped irrigation block 501 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the adjusting block 408. A connecting pipe 502 is fixedly installed on the top of the arc-shaped irrigation block 501. An irrigation head 503 is provided at the bottom of the arc-shaped irrigation block 501. A central infusion pipe 504 is fixedly installed on the right side of the box 1. An electromagnetic valve telescopic pipe 505 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the central infusion pipe 504. A water pump 506 is fixedly installed inside the box 1.
[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the flowerpot 3 is placed between the relatively fixed arc-shaped block 401 and the movable arc-shaped block 403. Then, by opening the electric slide rail 402, the direction of the two fixed arc-shaped blocks 401 in the slots of the two movable arc-shaped blocks 403 can be controlled to move, thereby clamping and fixing the flowerpot 3. Then, according to the center position of the flowerpot 3, the drive motor 405 is turned on to drive the two first threaded rods 406 to rotate. The rotation of the two first threaded rods 406 controls the relative movement of the two sleeve rods 407, thereby adjusting the front and back position of the arc-shaped watering block 501. Then, by sliding the adjusting block 408, the arc-shaped watering block 501 can be moved left and right on the outer surface of the sleeve rod 407. After moving to the appropriate position, the second threaded rod 410 is rotated to insert the fixing block into the fixing slot of the corresponding sleeve rod 407, thereby fixing the position of the arc-shaped watering block 501.
[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the solenoid valve telescopic tube 505 is then connected to the connecting tube 502 of the corresponding arc-shaped irrigation block 501. The water pump 506 is then turned on to draw out clean water and send it to the central infusion tube 504. The clean water is then sent into the corresponding arc-shaped irrigation block 501 through the corresponding solenoid valve telescopic tube 505. The plants in the flowerpot 3 are watered through the irrigation head 503 at its bottom. At the same time, the soil moisture is monitored by the humidity sensor 301. The corresponding solenoid valve telescopic tube 505 can be closed or opened using the control panel.
[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the control panel is electrically connected to the internal power-operated equipment of the device. It sends control commands to each component through control signal lines. These signal lines can be analog signal lines such as 4-20mA current signals, digital signal lines such as RS485 communication interfaces, or simple switch signal lines. The control signals issued by the control panel are transmitted to the control units of each component through the signal lines. By operating the control system, the control panel controls the components inside the device, enabling the start and stop operations of each component. After receiving a start command, the controller sends corresponding control signals to each component to start them. When a stop command is received, a stop signal is sent to stop each component from working. The operating parameters of each component are set on the control panel interface. These parameter settings are converted into corresponding control signals and sent to the control units of each component, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the component's operating status. The control panel has a monitoring function for the operating status of each component and can display the operating parameters and status information of each component in real time.
[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 5As shown, drive motor 405 is a dual-output motor, also known as a dual-output shaft motor or dual-shaft motor. It is a type of motor with two output shafts. This type of motor usually consists of two independent output shafts, a drive shaft, and a control unit. Each output shaft can work independently or in conjunction to adapt to different mechanical and power requirements.
[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the main components of the electric slide rail 402 include a power supply, a motor, a driver, a controller, a transmission mechanism, and the slide rail itself, which consists of a track and a slider. Its working principle is as follows: the power supply provides electrical energy to the entire system; the motor, as the power source, is driven to rotate by the driver under the command of the controller; and the transmission mechanism is responsible for converting the rotational motion of the motor into the linear motion of the slider on the slide rail. Common transmission mechanisms include precision mechanical structures such as worm gears, lead screws, and nuts. During operation, the controller precisely controls the motor's speed, direction, and working time according to a preset program or external signals, thereby driving the slider to slide smoothly and accurately on the track. This motion method has high precision and stability, meeting the linear motion requirements of various automated equipment and precision machinery. Furthermore, the electric slide rail 402 is equipped with limit devices and safety protection devices to ensure that the slider moves within a specified range and can quickly stop in case of abnormalities, thus protecting the safety of the equipment and operators. At the same time, the maintenance and upkeep of the electric slide rail 402 are relatively simple; only regular inspection and lubrication are needed to ensure its long-term stable operation.
[0032] In summary, this plant planting device capable of regulating soil moisture, through the adjustment structure 4, can control the movement of the movable arc block 403. Combined with the fixed arc block 401, it can clamp and fix flowerpots 3 of different sizes. Then, based on the actual position of the flowerpot 3, the position of the arc-shaped irrigation block 501 is simultaneously adjusted to ensure it is centered within the flowerpot 3. Finally, based on the humidity sensor 301 monitoring the soil moisture in the flowerpot 3, and in conjunction with the irrigation structure 5, the irrigation amount is adjusted, thereby achieving the purpose of facilitating the fixing of the flowerpot 3 and facilitating soil moisture regulation.
