[0014] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. When the water level in the storage tank is low and insufficient to support the float, the float descends and pulls the rocker arm to rotate, opening the gate valve. At the same time, the central transmission structure drives the sealing plate to close the gap between water pipe two and the anti-clogging bucket. At this time, water pipe two is open, and the external water source supplies water to the planting pot through water pipe two and water pipe one. When the rainwater collected in the storage tank is sufficient and the water level rises, causing the float to float, the float pushes the rocker arm to rotate and close the gate valve. At the same time, the sealing plate opens the gap. At this time, the rainwater in the storage tank supplies water to the planting pot through the anti-clogging bucket and water pipe one, realizing the automatic switching of the water source from the external water source to rainwater.
[0016] 2. Baffle 1 allows rainwater to flow in while blocking impurities from entering the water storage tank, ensuring the cleanliness of the collected rainwater; Baffle 2 effectively reduces the evaporation rate of water inside the water storage tank by leaving only one water passage gap and separating most of the contact area between the water storage tank and the outside world, thus saving water resources.

[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] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a combined flower stand, including a flower stand 1, a water storage tank 11, a water pipe 12, and multiple planting pots 13. The water storage tank 11 is located at the upper part of the flower stand 1, the multiple planting pots 13 are respectively located at the middle part of the flower stand 1, the water pipe 12 is located at the right side of the flower stand 1, and the output end of the water pipe 12 is located at the lower part of the planting pots 13. The water storage tank 11 is provided with a switching component 2 for switching water sources.
[0025] Furthermore, the upper interior of the water storage tank 11 is equipped with a baffle 14 and a baffle 2 15.
[0026] The flower stand 1, water tank 11, and water pipe 12 constitute the main structure of the device's water supply. Through the connection of water pipe 12, multiple planting pots 13 can be watered simultaneously. Baffle 14 and baffle 25 both have V-shaped cross sections. The difference is that baffle 14 is an inverted V-shape, which allows rainwater to flow through and prevents leaves from entering the interior of water tank 11. Baffle 25 is a regular V-shape, and its surface has only one gap that allows water to flow into the interior of water tank 11. Furthermore, baffle 25 can separate most of the area of water tank 11 from the outside, reducing the rate of water evaporation inside water tank 11.
[0027] Furthermore, the switching component 2 includes a gate valve 21 and a limit rod 23 disposed inside the water storage tank 11. A bracket 26 is provided on the upper part of the gate valve 21. A rocker arm 25 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the bracket 26. A float ball 24 is slidably connected to the left end of the rocker arm 25. The right end of the rocker arm 25 is slidably connected to the upper part of the gate valve 21.
[0028] Furthermore, the lower end of the float 24 is slidably connected to the inside of the limiting rod 23, the inside of the water storage tank 11 is provided with a second water pipe 22, the gate valve 21 is located in the middle of the second water pipe 22, and the inside of the water storage tank 11 is provided with a sealing component 3 for separating the second water pipe 22.
[0029] The gate valve 21 is existing technology. By pulling the control lever, the passage of water pipe 22 can be controlled. The rocker arm 25 and the bracket 26 form a drive system with a lever on the right. Only a small force needs to be applied to the left end of the rocker arm 25 to pull the gate valve 21 to open water pipe 22. At the same time, the push rod 31 can drive multiple sealing plates 32 to rotate counterclockwise to close the gap between water pipe 22 and the anti-blocking tank 36, preventing water from entering the water storage tank 11 through the anti-blocking tank 36 and causing evaporation waste. When the water in the water storage tank 11 is above the float ball 24, the float ball 24 can push the rocker arm 25 to rotate and close the gate valve 21. The limit rod 23 is used to limit the upward movement of the float ball 24. When the water in the water storage tank 11 decreases and is insufficient to support the float ball 24 to float, the float ball 24 will descend and pull the rocker arm 25 to rotate and open the gate valve 21. Thus, water pipe 22 is in a passable state, allowing water to flow.
[0030] Furthermore, the sealing component 3 includes an anti-clogging bucket 36 disposed at the right end of the second water pipe 22. Multiple evenly distributed sealing plates 32 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the right side of the anti-clogging bucket 36. A pull rod 33 is rotatably connected to the side of the sealing plate 32 away from the anti-clogging bucket 36. A push ring 34 is slidably connected to the right end of the second water pipe 22. The end of the pull rod 33 away from the sealing plate 32 is rotatably connected to the edge of the push ring 34.
[0031] Furthermore, a pull rod 35 is slidably connected to the upper part of the water pipe 22. The right end of the pull rod 35 is located on the left side of the push ring 34. The right end of the pull rod 35 is rotatably connected to a push rod 31. The left end of the push rod 31 is rotatably connected to the right end of the rocker arm 25.
[0032] Furthermore, the right end of the anti-clogging bucket 36 is located at the left end of the water pipe 12.
[0033] When the water collected inside the water storage tank 11 is sufficient to support the float 24 to float, the float 24 will push the rocker arm 25 to rotate and close the gate valve 21, while simultaneously pulling the push rod 31 to move to the left. The push rod 31 can drive the pull rod 35 and the push ring 34 to move to the left, thereby pulling multiple pull rods 33 to simultaneously drive the sealing plate 32 to rotate clockwise and open the gap between the water pipe 22 and the anti-clogging tank 36, so that the water source of the water supply pipe 12 can be switched to the rainwater inside the water storage tank 11.
[0034] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 5 Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides another technical solution: a support 26 is provided inside the water storage tank 11, a rocker arm 25 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the support 26, a push rod 27 is slidably connected inside the water pipe 22, the lower end of the support 26 is slidably connected to the left end of the push rod 27, the right end of the push rod 27 is located in the middle of the push ring 34, a fixing block 28 is provided in the middle of the water pipe 22, a partition 29 is slidably connected inside the fixing block 28, and the partition 29 is located in the middle of the push rod 27.
[0035] Under the push of water, the float 24 rises, which can push the rocker arm 25 to rotate and pull the push rod 27 to slide. When the push rod 27 slides, it can drive the partition 29 to slide inside the fixed block 28. The partition 29 closes the fixed block 28, making the second water pipe 22 a circuit breaker. When the second water pipe 22 moves, it can also move the push ring 34. The push ring 34 can push the pull rod 33 and the closing plate 32 to rotate, thus completing the water source switching. By using the push rod 27 to achieve the opening and switching of the water source, the overall structure of the device can be simplified and the stability of the device during operation can be increased.
