Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of landscape architecture technology, and in particular relates to an automatic water replenishment mechanism for landscape bonsai. Background Technology

[0002] As a unique landscape form that integrates horticultural cultivation and artistic styling, bonsai is widely used in landscape gardens due to its small and exquisite shape, high adaptability to space, and excellent environmental decoration effect. The healthy growth of bonsai plants and the maintenance of their landscape effect depend on a stable and appropriate water supply, and a scientific and reasonable watering method is one of the core elements to ensure the healthy growth of bonsai plants.

[0003] However, most commercially available bonsai gardens currently lack dedicated automatic watering mechanisms. Water replenishment relies primarily on manual operation, with growers periodically watering the soil using spray bottles, buckets, or other tools. This traditional manual watering method has significant limitations: the frequency of watering depends entirely on the grower's subjective judgment and schedule, making timely watering difficult and prone to occurrences. This can lead to the bonsai soil remaining chronically dry, or even complete forgetting to water, causing the bonsai to wither and die from prolonged dehydration. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve upon existing technologies and provide an automatic watering mechanism for bonsai gardens. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a reasonably designed, simple structure, and automatic water replenishment mechanism for garden landscape bonsai that can automatically replenish water, thereby solving the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic water replenishment mechanism for garden landscape bonsai, comprising:

[0007] A water storage tank, on the top of which a small water pump and controller are fixedly installed. The input end of the small water pump is fixedly connected to a water pumping pipe, and one end of the water pumping pipe extends to the bottom inside of the water storage tank.

[0008] A vertical plate has a support fixed to one outer wall, on which a dropper is slidably mounted. A rotating plate is rotatably mounted on the other outer wall of the vertical plate. A spring is fixed between the top of the rotating plate and the vertical plate, and a positioning ball is embedded and fixed at the bottom of the rotating plate.

[0009] A humidity sensor, wherein there are at least two humidity sensors, which are evenly distributed in the bonsai soil, and a fixing ring is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of one end of the humidity sensor, and the outer wall of the fixing ring is fixed with barbs in a ring shape.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, an observation plate is embedded and fixed on the front outer wall of the water storage tank. The observation plate is made of transparent reinforced plexiglass and is used to observe the remaining water volume inside the water storage tank.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a water delivery hose is fixedly installed between the top end of the dropper and the output end of the small water pump, and a positioning bolt is threaded onto the outer wall of the support for positioning the dropper against the pump.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a filter head is threadedly mounted on the bottom end of the dropper. The filter head includes a cylindrical section threadedly connected to the dropper and a conical section located below the cylindrical section, wherein the conical section has a uniformly distributed microporous structure inside.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a clamping mechanism is also included, which includes a ball joint rod, a pressure plate, and a rubber pad. The ball joint rod is movably mounted in the positioning ball, and the other end of the ball joint rod is fixed with a pressure plate. A rubber pad is adhered to the surface of the pressure plate.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the controller includes a PLC controller and a power supply module. Both the small water pump and the humidity sensor are electrically connected to the PLC controller via signal lines, and the power supply module supplies power to the small water pump and the humidity sensor.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the PLC controller has a preset soil moisture threshold. When the soil moisture detected by the humidity sensor is lower than the preset threshold, the PLC controller controls the small water pump to start. When the soil moisture detected by the humidity sensor reaches the preset threshold, the PLC controller controls the small water pump to shut down.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the power module is a rechargeable lithium battery, and a charging interface electrically connected to the power module is provided on the side wall of the controller.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] In the solution of this utility model:

[0019] This device evenly embeds multiple humidity sensors into the bonsai soil, covering different areas to avoid misjudgment from single-point detection. The barbed structure enhances the fit between the humidity sensors and the soil, preventing soil loosening and displacement, and ensuring reliable detection data. When the detected soil moisture content is below the threshold, a small water pump is automatically activated to deliver water or nutrient solution from the storage tank to the drip irrigation system via the pumping pipe and delivery hose, and then inject it into the soil. This eliminates the need for manual watering, reduces the burden of maintenance, and fundamentally avoids the problem of untimely watering caused by human forgetfulness, providing stable moisture for bonsai plants and ensuring their normal growth.

[0020] The filter head is installed at the bottom of the dripper via a thread. Its bottom is a conical section with micropores inside, which reduces the resistance of the dripper when inserted into the soil and prevents soil from entering the dripper. In the clamping mechanism, the ball head rod and the positioning ball form a movable connection, allowing the pressure plate to adaptively adjust its angle according to the curvature of the bonsai's outer wall, achieving a tight contact with the outer wall of the bonsai. This facilitates the stable installation of the vertical plate and dripper on one side of the flowerpot, achieving stable water replenishment and improving the reliability and adaptability of the device.

[0029] The embodiments described below are merely some embodiments of the present invention and do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Exemplary embodiments will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0030] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention relates to an automatic water replenishment mechanism for garden landscape bonsai, comprising:

[0031] A water storage tank 1 is fixedly installed on the top of the water storage tank 1. A small water pump 3 and a controller 17 are fixedly connected to the input end of the small water pump 3. One end of the water pump 4 extends to the bottom inner side of the water storage tank 1.

[0032] A vertical plate 8 has a support 9 fixed on one side of its outer wall. A dropper 6 is slidably mounted on the support 9. A rotating plate 11 is rotatably mounted on the other side of the vertical plate 8. A spring 12 is fixed between the top of the rotating plate 11 and the vertical plate 8. A positioning ball 13 is embedded and fixed at the bottom of the rotating plate 11.

[0033] Humidity sensor 18, there are at least two humidity sensors 18, which are evenly distributed in the bonsai soil. A fixing ring 19 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of one end of the humidity sensor 18. The outer wall of the fixing ring 19 is fixed with barbs 20 in a ring shape.

[0034] Based on the above structure, an observation plate 2 is fixedly embedded in the front outer wall of the water storage tank 1. The observation plate 2 is made of transparent reinforced organic glass and is used to observe the remaining water volume inside the water storage tank 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, a transparent reinforced plexiglass observation plate 2 is used to facilitate observation of the remaining water level inside the water tank 1, allowing for timely replenishment.

[0036] Based on the above structure, a water delivery hose 5 is fixedly installed between the top of the dropper 6 and the output end of the small water pump 3, and a positioning bolt 10 is threaded on the outer wall of the support 9 for positioning the dropper 6.

[0037] In this embodiment, the positioning bolt 10 facilitates the positioning of the dropper 6 after height adjustment.

[0038] Based on the above structure, a filter head 7 is threadedly installed at the bottom end of the dropper 6. The filter head 7 includes a cylindrical section that is threadedly connected to the dropper 6, and a conical section located below the cylindrical section. The conical section has a microporous structure evenly distributed inside.

[0039] In this embodiment, the bottom of the filter head 7 is a conical section with internal micropores, which reduces the resistance of the dripper 6 when inserted into the soil and prevents soil from entering the dripper 6.

[0040] Based on the above structure, a clamping mechanism is also included. The clamping mechanism includes a ball head rod 14, a pressure plate 15, and a rubber pad 16. The ball head section of the ball head rod 14 is movably installed in the positioning ball 13, and the other end of the ball head rod 14 is fixed with the pressure plate 15. The surface of the pressure plate 15 is bonded with the rubber pad 16.

[0041] In this embodiment, the ball head rod 14 and the positioning ball 13 form a movable connection, allowing the pressure plate 15 to adaptively adjust its angle according to the curvature of the bonsai's outer wall, achieving close contact with the bonsai's outer wall, which facilitates the stable installation of the drip tube 6 on the bonsai.

[0042] Based on the above structure, the controller 17 includes a PLC controller and a power supply module. Both the small water pump 3 and the humidity sensor 18 are electrically connected to the PLC controller via signal line 21, and the power supply module supplies power to the small water pump 3 and the humidity sensor 18.

[0043] Based on the above structure, the PLC controller has a preset soil moisture threshold. When the soil moisture detected by the humidity sensor 18 is lower than the preset threshold, the PLC controller controls the small water pump 3 to start. When the soil moisture detected by the humidity sensor 18 reaches the preset threshold, the PLC controller controls the small water pump 3 to shut down.

[0044] In this embodiment, a humidity sensor 18 is used to detect soil moisture. When the detected soil moisture content is lower than the threshold, a small water pump 3 is automatically started to transport water or nutrient solution in the water storage tank 1 to the drip pipe 6 through the water pumping pipe 4 and the water delivery hose 5, and inject it into the soil to achieve automatic water replenishment.

[0045] Based on the above structure, the power module is a rechargeable lithium battery, and a charging interface 22 electrically connected to the power module is provided on the side wall of the controller 17.

[0046] In this embodiment, the power module facilitates power supply, and the charging interface 22 facilitates timely replenishment of power to the power module.

[0047] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0048] In use, multiple humidity sensors 18 are first evenly buried in the bonsai soil to fully cover different areas of the soil, thereby avoiding misjudgment of water content caused by single-point detection and ensuring real-time and accurate monitoring of the actual water shortage status of the soil. Moreover, the fixing ring 19 fixed on the outside of the humidity sensor 18 and the multiple barbs 20 on its periphery can effectively enhance the fit between the humidity sensor 18 and the soil, preventing the humidity sensor 18 from shifting due to bonsai movement or soil loosening, and ensuring the reliability of the detection data.

[0049] Then press the rotating plate 11 and insert the bottom of the vertical plate 8 and the drip tube 6 into the soil inside the bonsai. When the rotating plate 11 is reset by the spring 12, the ball head rod 14 and the positioning ball 13 are connected to make it easy for the pressure plate 15 to adjust the angle according to the curvature of the outer wall of the bonsai, so as to achieve a tight contact with the outer wall of the bonsai. This makes it easy for the drip tube 6 to be firmly installed on one side of the flower pot. In addition, the bottom of the drip tube 6 is fitted with a filter head 7 through a thread. The bottom of the filter head 7 is a conical section with micropores inside, which reduces the resistance of the drip tube 6 when it is inserted into the soil and prevents soil from entering the drip tube 6.

[0050] When the humidity sensor 18 detects that the soil moisture content is lower than the preset threshold, the PLC controller in the controller 17 can control the small water pump 3 to start, and transport the water or nutrient solution in the water storage tank 1 to the drip pipe 6 through the water pumping pipe 4 and the water delivery hose 5, and finally inject it into the soil to complete the automatic water replenishment.

[0051] This device, by implementing an automatic watering mechanism for bonsai, not only completely eliminates the reliance on manual watering and greatly reduces the workload of maintenance personnel, but also fundamentally avoids the problem of untimely watering caused by human forgetfulness, providing a stable and suitable water supply for bonsai plants and ensuring their normal growth.

[0052] It should be noted that the small water pump 3, controller 17 and humidity sensor 18 in this device are all existing electrical appliances. Their specific structures and working principles are mature and widely used existing technologies, so they will not be described in detail in this article.

[0053] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any equivalent changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations made by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model and on the basis of existing technology through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experiments shall be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
