Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of signage technology, and in particular to a greening signage. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous advancement of urban greening construction, the demand for vegetation maintenance in parks, gardens, and residential areas is increasing. In traditional greening management, watering operations mostly rely on manual inspections or semi-automatic sprinkler systems with timed controls, which have problems such as delayed response, low water use efficiency, easy waste of water resources, or damage to plants due to lack of water.

[0003] Most of the greening signs commonly found on the market are static signs that only have the functions of prompting, warning, or decoration, and do not have the ability to sense the environment or control it automatically.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent device that can retain the original function and aesthetics of the sign while integrating soil moisture sensing and automatic sprinkler control functions. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a greening reminder sign to address the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a greening reminder sign, comprising: The sign body has feet at both ends of its bottom for insertion into the soil; A soil moisture sensor, located at the bottom of the support leg, is used to acquire soil moisture information; The signal transmission component is electrically connected to the soil moisture sensor and is capable of transmitting moisture information; The sprinkler system, located within the green area, is capable of performing sprinkler operations within the green area. The controller communicates with the signal transmission component and is electrically connected to the spray equipment. It can acquire humidity information and compare it with the internal preset humidity threshold. If the humidity information is lower than the internal preset humidity threshold, the spray equipment will be started to perform automatic spraying operation. The power supply component is located on the sign body and is electrically connected to the soil moisture sensor and the signal transmission component, and can supply power to the soil moisture sensor and the signal transmission component.

[0007] By integrating a soil moisture sensor at the bottom of the sign body using the aforementioned technical means, the soil moisture status can be detected in real time. The controller automatically starts and stops the sprinkler system based on the moisture threshold, enabling on-demand irrigation and effectively improving water use efficiency. At the same time, the sign body retains its original form and function, balancing aesthetics and practicality.

[0008] In some embodiments, the signal transmission component includes a WIFI signal transmitter and a WIFI signal receiver. The WIFI signal transmitter is installed on the sign body. The WIFI signal transmitter is electrically connected to the soil moisture sensor via a wire. The WIFI signal transmitter is communicatively connected to the WIFI signal receiver. The WIFI signal receiver is communicatively connected to the controller. The WIFI signal receiver can receive the humidity information sent by the WIFI signal transmitter and transmit it to the controller.

[0009] In some embodiments, the power supply components include a solar panel and a battery. Both the solar panel and the battery are mounted on the sign body and are electrically connected via wires. The battery is electrically connected to the WIFI signal transmitter and the soil moisture sensor. The solar panel can convert the absorbed solar energy into electrical energy and store it in the battery. The battery can supply power to the WIFI signal transmitter and the soil moisture sensor.

[0010] In some embodiments, the sprinkler system includes a greening sprinkler head assembly and a power supply. The greening sprinkler head assembly and the power supply are electrically connected via wires. A power control device is provided between the greening sprinkler head assembly and the power supply. The power control device is electrically connected to the controller. The power control device can control the power on / off of the greening sprinkler head assembly based on the electrical signal from the controller. Multiple greening sprinkler head assemblies are distributed in the greening area. The greening sprinkler head assemblies are connected to an external water source via a water supply pipeline.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. By utilizing a sign as a carrier, the bottom of the sign integrates a soil moisture sensor capable of real-time humidity monitoring. A signal transmission component transmits the humidity information to a controller. When the soil is dry (i.e., the soil moisture is below a preset threshold), the controller activates the sprinkler system. This not only solves the problem of response lag but also reduces the risk of overwatering or ineffective spraying caused by timed irrigation, significantly improving water resource utilization efficiency. It also eliminates the need for manual inspection of soil moisture or manual switching of the sprinkler system, achieving automated management. Simultaneously, the sign retains the function of providing helpful information about landscaping. Attached Figure Description

[0018] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0019] Combination Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment is a greening warning sign, including a sign body 1, a soil moisture sensor 3, a signal transmission component, a sprinkler system, and a controller 6. The bottom of the sign body 1 has two feet 2 for insertion into the soil. The soil moisture sensor 3 is located at the bottom of each foot 2 and is used to acquire soil moisture information. The soil moisture sensor 3 is electrically connected to the signal transmission component, which transmits the moisture information. A power supply component is provided on the sign body 1, which is electrically connected to both the soil moisture sensor 3 and the signal transmission component, providing power to them. A sprinkler system is installed within the green area where the sign body 1 is located, capable of spraying water into the green area. The signal transmission component is communicatively connected to the controller 6, which is electrically connected to the sprinkler system. The controller 6 acquires the moisture information via the signal transmission component and compares it with an internal preset moisture threshold. If the moisture information is lower than the internal preset moisture threshold, the sprinkler system is activated for automatic spraying.

[0020] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a control room is provided next to the green area, and the power supply for the controller 6 and the sprinkler equipment is arranged inside the control room next to the green area where the sign body 1 is located.

[0021] In some implementations, the signal transmission components include a WIFI signal transmitter 4 and a WIFI signal receiver 5. The WIFI signal transmitter 4 is installed on the sign body 1, and the WIFI signal receiver 5 is arranged in the control room. The WIFI signal transmitter 4 is electrically connected to the soil moisture sensor 3 via wires. The WIFI signal transmitter 4 and the WIFI signal receiver 5 are communicatively connected. The WIFI signal receiver 5 is communicatively connected to the controller 6. The WIFI signal receiver 5 can receive the humidity information sent by the WIFI signal transmitter 4 and transmit it to the controller 6.

[0022] Furthermore, considering the signal limitations in some areas, in this embodiment, the WIFI signal receiver 5 can also be placed in the trees or hidden landscape spots around the green area. The WIFI signal receiver 5 is connected to the control room through underground pipelines, thereby improving the signal reception rate.

[0023] In some implementations, the power supply components include a solar panel 7 and a battery 8. Both the solar panel 7 and the battery 8 are mounted on the sign body 1 and are electrically connected via wires. The battery 8 is also electrically connected to a WIFI signal transmitter 4 and a soil moisture sensor 3. The solar panel 7 can convert absorbed solar energy into electrical energy and store it in the battery 8. The battery 8 can supply power to the WIFI signal transmitter 4 and the soil moisture sensor 3. Specifically, in this embodiment, the solar panel 7 and the battery 8 are connected via a charge / discharge controller.

[0024] In some implementations, the sprinkler system includes a greening sprinkler head device 10 and a power supply 9. The greening sprinkler head device 10 and the power supply 9 are electrically connected via wires. A power control device is provided between the greening sprinkler head device 10 and the power supply 9. The power control device is electrically connected to a controller 6. The power control device can control the power on / off of the greening sprinkler head device 10 based on the electrical signals from the controller 6. Multiple greening sprinkler head devices 10 are distributed in the green area. The greening sprinkler head devices 10 are connected to an external water source via water supply pipes to provide water. The greening sprinkler head devices 10 can spray and irrigate the plants in the green area. Specifically, in this embodiment, the power controller 6 can be a relay.

[0025] In some implementation schemes, the correspondence between the sign body 1 and the sprinkler equipment in this embodiment is one-to-one or one-to-many within the same green area. The sign body 1 can be scattered in multiple green areas according to the specification of one every 50 meters. The soil moisture of the area is detected by relying on a single sign body 1 within the same area. Although only the soil moisture of a local area is detected, the error range of a single area is allowed, and the watering volume of the sprinkler equipment can be appropriately reduced accordingly.

[0026] The implementation principle of a greening reminder sign is as follows: This application applies to situations where signs can be inserted within a green area, there is a control room on the periphery of the green area where relevant control equipment and sprinkler power supply 9 can be installed, and there is no signal interference in the site.

[0027] The soil moisture sensor 3 senses the dryness and wetness of the soil in the green area in real time. The WIFI signal transmitter 4 can wirelessly transmit the humidity information collected by the soil moisture sensor 3 to the WIFI signal receiver 5 in the control room. The WIFI signal receiver 5 receives the data and forwards it to the controller 6. The controller 6 compares the received humidity information with the internal preset humidity threshold. When the measured humidity information is lower than the preset humidity threshold, it sends an electrical signal to the power control device to turn on the power supply 9 of the sprinkler equipment, so that the green sprinkler head device 10 can automatically irrigate the green area.

[0028] By real-time monitoring of soil moisture and automatic linkage with sprinkler systems, manual intervention is reduced, and "on-demand" spraying is implemented, avoiding delays in manual inspections, overwatering, or ineffective spraying, thus improving water resource utilization efficiency. The sprinkler system is automatically started and stopped by controller 6, replacing timed control and improving water usage accuracy. Without altering the appearance of the sign, sensing functions are integrated into the sign body 1, retaining its identification function while adding intelligent capabilities. Powered by solar energy, it achieves self-sufficient operation without an external power source, making it suitable for outdoor deployment. This application improves the automation level of green space maintenance, reduces operation and maintenance costs, and balances ecological benefits with urban aesthetics.

[0029] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
