Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant cultivation technology, and in particular to a plant cultivation and maintenance device. Background Technology

[0002] Plant cultivation and maintenance equipment is automated equipment used for large-scale planting, greenhouse cultivation, or home gardening. Its core function is to provide a suitable growth environment for plants by integrating modules such as irrigation, supplemental lighting, and humidity monitoring, thereby reducing the cost of manual management. Traditional planting methods rely on manual watering, fertilization, and light regulation, which are inefficient and make it difficult to accurately control environmental parameters.

[0003] Existing plant cultivation and maintenance techniques have the following shortcomings:

[0004] First, management efficiency is low: traditional planting boxes are mostly independent structures, requiring irrigation systems to be operated box by box, making batch control impossible. For example, in a large greenhouse, hundreds of planting boxes require manual watering by opening the valves one by one, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to omissions. Furthermore, different plants have significantly different water requirements, and existing devices lack the ability to control specific zones, making it difficult to meet diverse needs.

[0005] In addition, humidity control is often inefficient: existing devices mostly use timed irrigation modes without adjusting the watering amount based on real-time humidity data, which can easily lead to overly wet or dry soil. For example, if humidity sensors are not integrated into the control system, the irrigation frequency cannot be dynamically adjusted according to soil moisture, which may cause root rot or wilting of plants. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a plant planting and maintenance device, which overcomes the shortcomings of the existing technology and effectively solves the problems of low management efficiency and crude humidity control.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A plant planting and maintenance device includes a base, a planting box welded to the top outer wall of the base, and an array of planting cylinders arranged on one side of the planting box's outer wall. A water storage tank is installed on one side of the planting box's top outer wall of the base, and a water pump is installed on the top outer wall of the water storage tank. The water pump's outlet is fixedly connected to an adjacent first water pipe and a second water pipe via a three-way pipe. A first horizontal pipe is fixedly connected to one end of the second water pipe's outer wall. First nozzles are evenly distributed on the bottom outer wall of the first horizontal pipe, and a cover plate is installed on the outer wall of the first nozzles. A second horizontal pipe is fixedly connected to one end of the first water pipe's outer wall, and an array of second nozzles is installed on one side of the second horizontal pipe's outer wall.

[0009] Preferably, a first solenoid valve and a second solenoid valve are respectively installed on the outer walls of the first water pipe and the second water pipe.

[0010] Preferably, a hanging plate is welded to both sides of the outer wall of one side of the planting box, and a supplementary light is inclinedly installed on the outer wall of the hanging plate side.

[0011] Preferably, a humidity sensor is embedded in the center of the outer wall on the other side of the planting box, and a controller is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall on one side of the planting box by screws. The controller is connected to the water pump, the first solenoid valve, the second solenoid valve, the supplementary light and the humidity sensor by signal lines.

[0012] Preferably, the cover plate is placed on the top outer wall of the planting box, and a drainage net is installed on the bottom inner wall of the planting box. The top outer wall of the base is provided with an installation opening below the planting box, and a wastewater collection frame is placed on the inner wall of the installation opening.

[0013] Preferably, a water supply pipe is installed on the top of one side of the outer wall of the water storage tank.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. The plant planting and maintenance device designed in this way has a second nozzle connected to the first water pipe that can accurately supply water to the roots of plants in the planting cylinder, which is suitable for crops with high water requirements. The first nozzle connected to the second water pipe provides water to the leaves through top spraying, which is suitable for foliar fertilization or humidification scenarios. It realizes batch maintenance in multiple areas and improves efficiency compared to traditional box-by-box operation.

[0016] 2. The plant planting and maintenance device designed in this paper has a humidity sensor that can monitor soil moisture in real time and feed it back to the controller, forming a closed loop of "monitoring-control-execution". This avoids the blindness of timed irrigation. When continuous rainy weather causes soil moisture to be too high, the system can automatically delay irrigation to reduce the risk of root rot.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Reference Figures 1-4 Example 1: A plant planting and maintenance device includes a base 1. A planting box 2 is welded to the top outer wall of the base 1, and planting cylinders 3 are arranged in an array on one side of the outer wall of the planting box 2. A water storage tank 4 is installed on one side of the top outer wall of the base 1, and a water pump 5 is installed on the top outer wall of the water storage tank 4. A water supply pipe 22 is installed on the top of one side of the outer wall of the water storage tank 4. The outlet of the water pump 5 is fixedly connected to an adjacent first water pipe 6 and a second water pipe 7 through a three-way pipe. A first horizontal pipe 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the outer wall of the second water pipe 7. A first nozzle 9 is installed at equal intervals on the bottom outer wall of the first horizontal pipe 8, and a cover plate 10 is installed on the outer wall of the first nozzle 9.

[0024] Planting boxes 2 are located on top of base 1. The planting tubes 3 on their sides have cylindrical through-holes for inserting different plants, suitable for various types such as succulents and herbaceous flowers. The volume of the water tank 4 can be customized according to the planting scale. The water supply pipe 22 on top of the water tank 4 connects to an external water source, allowing for water replenishment when the water level is low. The water pump 5 distributes water through a three-way pipe to the first water pipe 6 and the second water pipe 7, with each pipe corresponding to different irrigation scenarios.

[0025] In the second embodiment, a second horizontal pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the first water pipe 6, and an array of second nozzles 12 are installed on the outer wall of one side of the second horizontal pipe 11. A first solenoid valve 13 and a second solenoid valve 14 are respectively installed on the outer walls of the first water pipe 6 and the second water pipe 7.

[0026] The first water pipe 6 connects the second horizontal pipe 11 to the second nozzle 12. The second nozzle 12 faces the inside of the planting box 2 and adopts a drip irrigation mode. The water flow is fine and has the characteristics of water saving. The second water pipe 7 connects the first horizontal pipe 8 to the first nozzle 9. The spray range of the first nozzle 9 is distributed in a fan shape, which can cover one side of the planting box 2 for foliar spraying or environmental humidification.

[0027] The planting box 2 has a hanging plate 15 welded on both sides of one outer wall, and a supplementary light 16 is installed at an angle on one side of the outer wall of the hanging plate 15.

[0028] The hanging plate 15 is welded to the side of the planting box 2. The tilt angle of the supplemental light 16 is 45° to ensure that the light from the supplemental light 16 covers the entire side of the planting box 2. The supplemental light 16 is a full-spectrum LED light with adjustable power, which is suitable for different growth stages of plants. For example, strong light is needed to promote growth in the seedling stage, and specific wavelength light is needed to promote flowering in the flowering stage.

[0029] A humidity sensor 17 is embedded in the center of the outer wall of the other side of the planting box 2, and a controller 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of one side of the planting box 2 by screws. The controller 21 is connected to the water pump 5, the first solenoid valve 13, the second solenoid valve 14, the supplementary light 16 and the humidity sensor 17 by signal lines.

[0030] The humidity sensor 17 adopts an embedded design, with the probe extending deep into the soil of the planting box 2 to monitor the volumetric water content in real time. The controller 21 has a built-in MCU chip and a preset humidity threshold. When the measured value deviates from the threshold, the water pump 5 and the first solenoid valve 13 and the second solenoid valve 14 are automatically triggered.

[0031] The cover plate 10 is placed on the top outer wall of the planting box 2, and a drainage net 18 is installed on the bottom inner wall of the planting box 2. The top outer wall of the base 1 is provided with an installation port 19 below the planting box 2, and a sewage collection frame 20 is placed on the inner wall of the installation port 19.

[0032] The drainage net 18 is a perforated stainless steel plate, which is laid at the bottom of the planting box 2. It can support the soil and facilitate the infiltration of excess water. The wastewater collection frame 20 is placed in the installation port 19 of the base 1. It adopts a drawer-type design and can be pulled out regularly to clean the sediment.

[0033] Working principle:

[0034] The controller 21 receives data from the humidity sensor 17 in real time. When the humidity of a planting box 2 is lower than the threshold, irrigation is triggered according to the preset strategy. If root irrigation is required, the first solenoid valve 13 is opened, and the water pump 5 transports the water in the water storage tank 4 to the second nozzle 12 through the first water pipe 6, precisely dripping the water to the roots of the planting cylinder 3.

[0035] If foliar spraying or environmental humidification is required, open the second solenoid valve 14, and water will be sprayed out from the first nozzle 9 through the second water pipe 7, covering one side of the planting box 2.

[0036] The daily operating time of the supplemental lighting 16 can be set by the controller 21. When the ambient light intensity is below 3000 Lux, it will automatically supplement the light, and excess irrigation water will flow into the wastewater collection box 20 through the drainage net 18.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
