Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orchid cultivation technology, and in particular to an automatic watering device for orchid cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] Orchids are plants with demanding growing requirements, making watering crucial. Their fleshy roots thrive in moist conditions but are highly susceptible to waterlogging. While maintaining adequate moisture in the substrate is essential for their physiological functions, they are extremely sensitive to waterlogging. Overwatering, leading to chronically wet substrates, easily causes root rot and seedling decay; underwatering, on the other hand, results in dehydration, stunted growth, and even the entire plant withering. Existing automatic watering systems for orchid cultivation cannot precisely set watering times and durations based on the orchid's growth cycle and habits, easily leading to overwatering or underwatering, which compromises the orchid's healthy growth. Furthermore, they lack real-time monitoring of the water level in the reservoir, making watering interruptions due to water shortages unreliable and hindering the maintenance of a continuous water supply.

[0027] 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.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-4 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: an automatic watering device for orchid cultivation, including a water storage tank 1, a tank cover 14 connected to the top of the water storage tank 1, an automatic water replenishment component 15 to ensure continuous water supply connected to the top of the tank cover 14, and a timed spraying component 2 to improve accuracy connected to the outside of the water storage tank 1.

[0029] The timed spraying component 2 includes a timer 3 and a fixing rod 4. The timer 3 is connected to the outside of the water storage tank 1. The top of the fixing rod 4 is fixedly connected to a fixing pipe 5. One end of the fixing pipe 5 is rotatably connected to a connector 6. Both ends of the connector 6 are fixedly connected to spray nozzles 7. The bottom of the fixing rod 4 is fixedly connected to a base 8. The bottom of the base 8 is fixedly connected to multiple sets of ground-inserting cones 9 for easy installation and to ensure stability.

[0030] The timed spraying component 2 also includes a mounting plate 10, one end of which is fixedly connected to the outside of the water storage tank 1. A water pump 11 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting plate 10 by bolts. The inlet of the water pump 11 is located inside the water storage tank 1, and the outlet of the water pump 11 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 12. One end of the connecting pipe 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed pipe 5. The automatic water replenishment component 15 includes an ultrasonic level sensor 16, which is connected to the top of the tank cover 14. A limit hole 17 is opened inside the tank cover 14, and the probe of the ultrasonic level sensor 16 is located inside the limit hole 17, enabling real-time monitoring of the water level inside the water storage tank 1. The automatic water replenishment component 15 also includes a mounting base 18. The bottom of the mounting base 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the bucket lid 14. A second water pump 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base 18. A water outlet pipe 20 is fixedly connected to the outlet of the second water pump 19. One end of the water outlet pipe 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the bucket lid 14. A water inlet pipe 21 is fixedly connected to the inlet of the second water pump 19. The water inlet pipe 21 is connected to an external water source. A controller 22 is fixedly connected to the outside of the water storage tank 1. The controller 22, the second water pump 19, the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 16, the first water pump 11, and the timer 3 are all electrically connected. Multiple sets of bottom pads 23 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the water storage tank 1. There are two sets of nozzles 7. The spraying directions of the two sets of nozzles 7 are opposite, and the connector 6 can be rotated by the backflow force of the water flow.

[0031] Working principle: First, place the base 8 at the bottom of the fixing rod 4 on the ground in a suitable position. The multiple sets of ground-inserting cones 9 at the bottom of the base 8 are inserted into the soil to securely fix the nozzle 7. Then, the timer 3 sends a command to the controller 22 according to the set time signal. The controller 22 then starts the first water pump 11, which sends the water in the storage tank 1 to the fixing pipe 5 through the connecting pipe 12. The water is then split through the connector 6 to spray out from the nozzles 7 on both sides. Because the two sets of nozzles 7 spray in opposite directions, the resulting water flow back force pushes the connector 6 to rotate, achieving uniform irrigation in a 360-degree range. At the same time, the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 16 continuously monitors the water level in the storage tank 1. When the water level is lower than the set threshold, the sensor transmits a signal to the controller 22. The controller 22 starts the second water pump 19, which draws water from an external water source through the inlet pipe 21 and injects it into the storage tank 1 through the outlet pipe 20, ensuring continuous water supply and achieving efficient watering operations with precise timing and automatic water replenishment.

[0032] All electrical components mentioned in this article are electrically connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer for control. The detailed description of known functions and known components is omitted in the specific embodiments disclosed herein. To ensure the compatibility of the device, the operating methods used are consistent with the parameters of commercially available instruments.
