Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic vending equipment technology, specifically a succulent plant automatic vending machine. Background Technology

[0002] Succulent vending machines are self-service vending machines that specialize in selling succulent plants. They combine unattended operation, intelligent maintenance, and Internet of Things technology to provide a convenient experience for purchasing green plants. They are commonly found in shopping malls, supermarkets, residential areas, and other living areas. Compared to traditional flower shops, they reduce rent, logistics, and labor costs, resulting in considerable profits.

[0003] Traditional succulent sales often rely on manual stalls or ordinary shelves, which has many limitations. Their maintenance depends on manual labor, which is costly and inefficient: succulents need to be watered regularly by hand, especially in large sales venues, where the amount of manual labor is large and it is difficult to control the evenness of watering. This can easily lead to some succulents withering due to lack of water, while others rot due to overwatering. In addition, water resources are wasted, as excess water is directly lost during the watering process and cannot be recycled, which does not meet the requirements of energy conservation and environmental protection. Therefore, an automatic succulent vending machine is proposed. Utility Model Content

A rotating frame 12 is installed on one side of the outer wall of each of the multiple branch pipes 11. Spraying heads 14 are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the multiple rotating frames 12. One end of the multiple spraying heads 14 is connected to the branch pipes 11 through a connecting pipe 13.

[0023] A reflux mechanism is installed at the bottom of the main unit 2.

[0024] Specifically, the main unit 2 serves as the core area for displaying and caring for succulents. An observation window 3 is embedded in the front, allowing consumers to directly observe the growth status and appearance of the succulents inside, enhancing the purchasing experience. The inner wall is pre-installed with mounting positions for the spraying mechanism and placement structure, ensuring coordinated operation of all components. The spraying water transmission pipe 10 penetrates the outer wall of the main unit 2, connecting to multiple branch pipes 11 on one side to form a water supply network, ensuring that water can cover all succulent placement areas within the main unit 2. A rotating frame 12 is installed on the outer wall of each branch pipe 11, with a spray head 14 rotatably connected to it. The spray head 14 is connected to the branch pipe 11 via a connecting pipe 13. The spray head 14 can flexibly adjust its angle around the rotating frame 12, allowing for precise watering of succulents in different locations while avoiding direct water rinsing of the succulent leaves and preventing damage. Simultaneously, rotation enables more even spraying over a wider area, solving the problem of uneven watering in traditional manual watering.

[0025] In this embodiment, horizontal brackets 18 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the main unit 2, and fixed brackets 17 are fixedly connected to the ends of the multiple horizontal brackets 18.

[0026] Specifically, horizontal brackets 18 are fixed on both sides of the inner wall of the main unit 2, and the ends of the horizontal brackets 18 are connected to the fixed brackets 17 to form a stable multi-layer support structure. The number of layers can be flexibly designed according to the height of the succulents, which greatly increases the display capacity of succulents in a limited space.

[0027] In this embodiment, a placement plate 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of each of the multiple horizontal connecting frames 18, and a partition frame 16 is fixedly connected to the top of each of the multiple placement plates 15. The multiple partition frames 16 are all located at the bottom of the spray head 14.

[0028] Specifically, a placement plate 15 is fixed to the outer wall of the horizontal frame 18, and a divider 16 is fixed to the top of the placement plate 15. The divider 16 divides the placement plate 15 into multiple independent areas, which can be used to place different varieties and sizes of succulents. This makes it convenient for consumers to choose and avoids the succulents from being squeezed and damaged. At the same time, the divider 16 is located at the bottom of the spray head 14, which can guide the water from the spray head 14 to fall accurately to the roots of the succulents and reduce water waste.

[0029] In this embodiment, the reflux mechanism includes a water storage tank 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the main unit 2. A bottom filter plate 19 is embedded at the top of the water storage tank 4, and the bottom filter plate 19 corresponds to a plurality of placement plates 15 above.

[0030] Specifically, a water storage tank 4 is fixed at the bottom of the main unit 2, and a bottom filter plate 19 is embedded at the top of the water storage tank 4. The bottom filter plate 19 corresponds to the upper placement plate 15. When watering, excess water drips through the gaps in the placement plate 15, and after being filtered by the bottom filter plate 19 to remove soil impurities, it flows into the water storage tank 4 for temporary storage, thus preventing direct water loss.

[0031] In this embodiment, a return tank 5 is connected to one side of the outer wall of the water storage tank 4 via a pipe. A water inlet 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the return tank 5, and a delivery conduit 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the return tank 5. A transfer pump 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the delivery conduit 7 away from the return tank 5.

[0032] Specifically, the water storage tank 4 is connected to the return tank 5 through a pipe. The return tank 5 can store the collected water and replenish new water through the inlet 6. The return tank 5 is connected to the transfer pump 8 through the delivery pipe 7. The output end of the transfer pump 8 is connected to the diversion pipe 9, which is connected to the spray water transmission pipe 10. When the transfer pump 8 is started, the water in the return tank 5 can be delivered to the spray water transmission pipe 10 for spraying again, forming a closed loop. The water resource utilization rate is significantly improved, which meets the requirements of energy conservation and environmental protection.

[0033] In this embodiment, the output end of the transfer pump 8 is fixedly connected to a diversion pipe 9, which is fixed to one side of the top end of the two spray water transfer pipes 10.

[0034] Specifically, by setting up the diversion pipe 9, the water flow can be transmitted to the spray water transmission pipe 10 for use.

[0035] In this embodiment, the reflux box 5, the delivery conduit 7, and the transfer pump 8 are all located inside the side equipment box 1, and the reflux box 5, the delivery conduit 7, and the transfer pump 8 are all located on one side of the main unit box 2.

[0036] Specifically, the side equipment box 1 is used to store the core components of the reflux mechanism, namely the reflux box 5, the conveying conduit 7, and the transfer pump 8. Together with the main unit box 2, it forms a "functional zoning + space integration" design, which not only ensures the overall aesthetics of the equipment, but also avoids the exposure of maintenance components and prevents them from affecting the operation of consumers.

[0037] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: When using it, adjust the number of layers of the horizontal connecting frame 18 and the spacing of the dividing frame 16 according to the variety and specifications of the succulents, and place the succulents into the independent areas of the placement board 15 respectively.

[0038] Inject an appropriate amount of water into the return tank 5 through the inlet 6, start the transfer pump 8, test whether the spraying mechanism and the return mechanism are operating normally, adjust the angle of the spray head 14 to the optimal water replenishment position, start the transfer pump 8, and transport the water in the return tank 5 through the delivery pipe 7 and the branch pipe 9 to the spray water transmission pipe 10, and then through the branch pipe 11 and the connecting pipe 13 to the spray head 14.

[0039] The spray head 14 rotates around the rotating frame 12, evenly replenishing water to the succulents on the lower placement plate 15; excess water drips through the gaps in the placement plate 15, is filtered through the bottom filter plate 19 and flows into the water storage tank 4, and then flows into the return tank 5 through the pipe, completing one water cycle.
