Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flower pot technology, specifically to a flower pot and its water tank detection and connection structure and its water-absorbing core anti-pull structure. Background Technology

[0002] Most common flower pots are independent structures, with the water tank and pot body usually connected by a simple plug-in or separate design, lacking an effective fixing structure. This makes the water tank prone to loosening or even falling off during use due to external forces (such as moving the flower pot, wind, or human touch). Alternatively, the water tank is installed directly inside, requiring the pot body to be disassembled to change the water, which is not very convenient to use.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a flowerpot and its water tank detection connection structure and a water-absorbing core anti-pull structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on the above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a flower pot and its water tank detection connection structure and its water absorption core anti-pull structure to solve the water tank problem.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a flowerpot, comprising:

[0006] The basin has an open planting cavity for accommodating planting substrate and plants, and the basin also has an open mounting cavity.

[0007] The water tank is slidably installed in the mounting cavity through the opening, and the water tank forms a conductive space with the planting cavity through the mounting cavity;

[0008] The water tank is used to store water and to supply water to the planting substrate and plants in the planting cavity through the conductive space;

[0009] A fixing component is disposed between the basin and the water tank, the fixing component being used to restrict the relative movement of the basin and the water tank.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of a flowerpot, the fixing component includes a first magnetic suction part and a second magnetic suction part. The first magnetic suction part is disposed in the water tank, and the second magnetic suction part is disposed in the mounting cavity corresponding to the first magnetic suction part.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of a flowerpot, the guiding space includes a first guide hole, a second guide hole, and a third guide hole respectively disposed in the planting cavity, the mounting cavity, and the water tank. The planting cavity is provided with a water-absorbing core, which passes through the first guide hole, the second guide hole, and the third guide hole sequentially from the planting cavity.

[0012] As a preferred option for flowerpots, the pot body is also provided with an interactive unit, which displays a preset image through a display module based on environmental information and / or status information.

[0013] A water tank detection connection structure, comprising:

[0014] The basin has an open planting cavity for accommodating planting substrate and plants, and the basin also has an open mounting cavity.

[0015] The water tank is slidably installed in the mounting cavity through the opening, and the water tank forms a conductive space with the planting cavity through the mounting cavity;

[0016] The detection module is inserted from the outer wall of the water tank and extends into the interior of the water tank to detect the water level or water quality parameters inside the water tank.

[0017] A water-absorbing core anti-pull structure, comprising:

[0018] The basin has an open planting cavity for accommodating planting substrate and plants, and the basin also has an open mounting cavity.

[0020] A cover plate is provided on the water tank, and the cover plate is provided with an elastic groove. The water-absorbing core passes through the elastic groove and enters the water tank from the planting cavity through the guiding space and the elastic groove.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment of the anti-pull structure of the absorbent core, the cover plate is provided with an insertion hole, the absorbent core is inserted through the insertion hole, the insertion hole intersects with the elastic groove, the diameter of the insertion hole is larger than the diameter of the absorbent core, and the elastic groove is smaller than the diameter of the absorbent core.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment of the water-absorbing core anti-pull structure, the cover plate is recessed towards the bottom of the water tank to form an anti-overflow groove.

[0023] As a preferred embodiment of the absorbent core anti-pull structure, the cover plate is made of a soft material.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment of the water-absorbing core anti-pull structure, a baffle plate is provided between the cover plate and the water tank, and the surface of the baffle plate is provided with a guide groove corresponding to the elastic groove, the diameter of the guide groove being larger than the diameter of the water-absorbing core.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By setting a fixing component between the pot and the water tank, the water tank is ensured to be stable and reliable during pushing and pulling operations or daily use, effectively preventing accidental detachment caused by external forces such as movement, wind, or accidental contact.

[0040] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0041] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly.

[0042] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0043] In the description of this embodiment, terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0044] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used merely for descriptive distinction and have no specific meaning.

[0045] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, a flowerpot is provided, including: a pot body 1, a water tank 2, and a fixing component 3. The pot body 1 has an open planting cavity 101 for accommodating planting substrate and plants, and also has an open mounting cavity 103. The water tank 2 is slidably mounted to the mounting cavity 103 via the open cavity 102, and a communication space 4 is formed between the water tank 2 and the planting cavity 101 through the mounting cavity 103. The water tank 2 stores water and supplies water to the planting substrate and plants in the planting cavity 101 through the communication space 4. The fixing component 3 is disposed between the pot body 1 and the water tank 2, and restricts the relative movement of the pot body 1 and the water tank 2.

[0046] The flowerpot provided by this utility model, by setting a fixing component 3 between the pot body 1 and the water tank 2, ensures that the water tank 2 is stable and reliable during pushing and pulling operations or daily use, effectively preventing accidental detachment caused by external forces such as movement, wind, or accidental contact. This not only enhances the overall structural stability of the flowerpot but also avoids the risk of leakage or tipping caused by a loose water tank 2, effectively improving safety. At the same time, while ensuring a secure connection, the fixing component 3 also allows for easy disassembly, facilitating operations such as adding water and cleaning.

[0047] Specifically, the fixing component 3 includes a first magnetic suction part 301 (such as a magnet) and a second magnetic suction part 302. The first magnetic suction part 301 is disposed in the water tank 2, and the second magnetic suction part 302 is disposed in the mounting cavity 103 corresponding to the first magnetic suction part 301. The water tank 2 and the mounting cavity 103 are respectively provided with the first magnetic suction part 301 and the second magnetic suction part 302, and a stable connection is achieved through magnetic attraction, ensuring that the water tank 2 is not easy to fall off when the flower pot is moved or tilted, thus improving overall stability and safety of use. Moreover, the magnetic structure facilitates quick assembly and disassembly of the water tank 2, and users can easily push and pull to add water or clean it. The operation is simple, and it can automatically position itself after attraction. Compared with traditional mechanical buckles, magnetic attraction has no wear problem, has good durability, and maintains reliable fixation even after long-term use.

[0048] Preferably, the guiding space 4 includes a first guide hole 401, a second guide hole 402 and a third guide hole 403 respectively disposed in the planting cavity 101, the mounting cavity 103 and the water tank 2. The planting cavity 101 is provided with a water-absorbing core 5, which passes through the first guide hole 401, the second guide hole 402 and the third guide hole 403 in sequence from the planting cavity 101.

[0049] The conductive space 4 forms a gradient flow channel composed of the first flow guide hole 401, the second flow guide hole 402 and the third flow guide hole 403. Together with the capillary action of the water-absorbing core 5, it achieves uniform water penetration and avoids water accumulation and root rot or insufficient water supply in the planting cavity 101.

[0050] In this embodiment, the water-absorbing core 5 can be made of sponge. The porous structure of the sponge can quickly absorb the water in the water tank 2 and evenly transport it to the planting cavity 101 through capillary action, avoiding local over-wetting or drought and maintaining stable substrate humidity.

[0051] Preferably, the basin 1 is also provided with an interactive unit, which displays a preset image through a display module based on environmental information and / or status information.

[0052] The flowerpot features a design with various modular installation interfaces and spaces. An optional LCM LCD 6 display module can be installed to show key information such as plant growth status, soil moisture, and water level in water tank 2 in real time. A speaker 7 sound module can be installed to provide voice prompts, alarm reminders, or background music playback, enhancing the human-computer interaction experience. A photosensor 8 can also be added to detect ambient light intensity and, in conjunction with supplemental lighting, automatically provide supplemental lighting to ensure the conditions necessary for plant photosynthesis.

[0053] Meanwhile, the flowerpot supports the integration of a wireless charging module 9, improving the device's battery life and ease of use, and avoiding the inconvenience and wear caused by frequent plugging and unplugging. Internally, it also provides installation positions and connection interfaces for the main control unit motherboard 10, sub-board 11, power management charging board 12, battery 23, and button board 13, facilitating systematic wiring and control logic construction, and making future upgrades and maintenance convenient.

[0054] like Figure 5 A detection connection structure for a water tank 2, applicable to a flowerpot, includes a detection module 14 (such as a pre-embedded nail), a conductive module 15 (such as a copper sheet), and a contact module 16 (such as a probe). The detection module 14 is inserted from the outer wall of the water tank 2 and extends into the interior of the water tank 2 to detect the water level or water quality parameters inside the water tank 2. The conductive module 15 is disposed on the outer wall of the water tank 2 and makes contact electrical connection with the detection module 14 to realize power transmission. The contact module 16 is disposed on the pot body 1. When the water tank 2 is installed on the pot body 1, the conductive module 15 and the contact module 16 come into contact and form an electrical connection, thereby transmitting the detection signal to an external control unit.

[0055] The detection connection structure for the water tank 2 provided by this utility model enables real-time detection of water level or water quality parameters in the water tank 2 by inserting the detection module 14 from the outer wall of the water tank 2 and extending it into the interior, ensuring the accuracy of the detection data and the timeliness of the response. By setting a conductive module 15 on the outer wall of the water tank 2 and connecting it to the detection module 14 by contact, stable power supply and signal transmission are achieved. The structure is simple and easy to assemble, while avoiding the impact of complex wiring on the installation of the water tank 2.

[0056] In this embodiment, a water level detection device or a water level detection board can be installed. The contact module 16 (such as a probe) can be a water level detection device, used to accurately detect the water level in the water tank 2 and feed the signal back to the control system to prompt the user to add water.

[0057] like Figure 2 A water-absorbing core 5 anti-pull structure is applicable to a flower pot, including a cover plate 17 set on a water tank 2, the cover plate 17 is provided with an elastic groove 18, the water-absorbing core 5 passes through the elastic groove 18, and the water-absorbing core 5 passes through the planting cavity 101 through the guiding space 4 and the elastic groove 18 into the water tank 2.

[0058] The anti-pull structure of the absorbent core 5 provided by this utility model, by setting an elastic groove 18 on the cover plate 17, allows the absorbent core 5 to expand adaptively according to its diameter when it is inserted, avoiding hard pulling on the absorbent core 5 during installation or disassembly; when the absorbent core 5 is pulled by an external force, the elastic groove 18 deforms, absorbing part of the pulling force, reducing direct friction and damage to the absorbent core 5, effectively preventing the core from breaking due to excessive force, thereby improving the structural durability and safety of use.

[0059] Preferably, the cover plate 17 is provided with an insertion hole 19. The absorbent core 5 passes through the insertion hole 19, and the insertion hole 19 intersects with the elastic groove. The diameter of the insertion hole 19 is larger than the diameter of the absorbent core 5, which facilitates quick alignment during insertion and reduces installation difficulty. The elastic groove 18 is smaller than the diameter of the absorbent core 5.

[0060] Preferably, the cover plate 17 is recessed towards the bottom of the water tank 2 to form an overflow prevention groove 20, forming an annular water storage space that can receive and return water that may seep out from the elastic groove, preventing water from overflowing.

[0061] Preferably, the cover plate 17 is made of a soft material. It is made of soft materials such as silicone or TPE, which has excellent flexibility and resilience, ensuring that the absorbent core 5 can undergo elastic deformation when subjected to external force, effectively buffering the pulling force and preventing the absorbent core 5 from being forcibly pulled out or broken.

[0062] Preferably, a baffle plate 21 is provided between the cover plate 17 and the water tank 2. The baffle plate 21 directly supports the cover plate 17, forming a composite structure of "rigid support layer + soft sealing layer". This ensures the structural strength of the cover plate 17 and improves its sealing and leak-proof performance. During installation, the cover plate 17 can be directly attached to the baffle plate 21. The surface of the baffle plate 21 is provided with a guide groove 22 corresponding to the elastic groove 18. The diameter of the guide groove 22 is larger than the diameter of the water-absorbing core 5. When the water tank 2 is pulled out or inserted, there is no interference with the water-absorbing core 5, ensuring its smooth movement and avoiding displacement or jamming during installation.

[0063] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the present utility model.
