[0002] In modern urban life, with increasingly compact living spaces and rising demands for quality of life, indoor plant cultivation has gradually become an important means of improving living comfort and air quality. However, in many residences, apartments, or offices, available floor space is often occupied by furniture, appliances, and other living facilities, resulting in very limited space for placing plants. Utility Model Content

[0003] This disclosure provides a cabinet equipped with a planting module.

[0004] According to one aspect of this disclosure, a cabinet with a planting module is provided, the cabinet comprising: a planting module for planting plants; and a cabinet body including a base plate and a storage structure, the storage structure being disposed on a first side of the base plate, and the planting module being disposed on a second side of the base plate opposite to the first side.

[0005] According to one technical solution, by setting a storage structure on the first side of the substrate and a planting module on the second side of the substrate, the cabinet can achieve multifunctionality, which can meet both daily storage needs and plant planting needs, saving space, improving space utilization, and enhancing the greening effect and practicality of the home or office environment.

[0006] According to at least one embodiment of the cabinet disclosed herein, the cabinet further includes: a hinge member, the hinge member including a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion being rotatably connected, the first connecting portion being used to fix to the outer wall of the storage structure, and the second connecting portion being used to fix to a target position.

[0007] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, the design of the hinge allows the cabinet to be flexibly adjusted in position or angle relative to the target position through the rotation of the first connecting part and the second connecting part, thereby enhancing the adaptability and ease of installation of the cabinet.

[0008] According to at least one embodiment of the cabinet disclosed herein, the cabinet further includes: a base; and a connecting shaft, one end of which can be mounted on the base, the other end of which can be mounted on the cabinet body, and the cabinet body can rotate about the connecting shaft.

[0009] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, the cabinet can rotate around the connecting shaft through the design of the base and the connecting shaft, which makes it convenient for users to adjust the orientation of the cabinet, optimize the lighting or spatial layout of the planting module, and improve the flexibility of use and the adaptability of plant growth.

[0010] According to at least one embodiment of the cabinet of the present disclosure, the number of planting modules is multiple, and the multiple planting modules form an array distributed horizontally and vertically.

[0011] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, multiple planting modules form an array that is distributed horizontally and vertically, which increases the planting area, enables the planting of more plants, improves space utilization, facilitates modular management, and optimizes the plant growth environment.

[0012] According to at least one embodiment of the cabinet disclosed herein, the cabinet further includes a connecting pipe, through which two adjacent planting modules in the same row are connected, and the planting module at one end of the (n-1)th row is connected to the planting module at one end of the nth row through the connecting pipe, and the planting module at the other end of the nth row is connected to the planting module at the other end of the (n+1)th row through the connecting pipe, where n is a positive integer and is greater than or equal to 2.

[0013] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, multiple planting modules in the entire array are connected in series through connecting pipes to form a continuous water circulation from top to bottom. Nutrient solution and water are then irrigated in the uppermost planting module, and the nutrient solution and water can automatically reach other planting modules in other rows by gravity through the connecting pipes. This simplifies the irrigation process, facilitates maintenance and management, and improves water resource utilization efficiency.

[0014] According to at least one embodiment of the cabinet disclosed herein, the cabinet further includes a water inlet pipe and a water outlet pipe. The planting module includes a water inlet and a water outlet. The water inlet of the planting module at the top end that is not connected to other rows is connected to the water inlet pipe, and the water outlet of the planting module at the bottom end that is not connected to other rows is connected to the water outlet pipe. The water inlet of one of two adjacent planting modules in the same row is connected to the water outlet of the other planting module through the connecting pipe.

[0015] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, a complete irrigation system is formed through the design of inlet pipes, outlet pipes, and connecting pipes. This ensures that water flows smoothly through multiple planting modules in the form of a single, continuous waterway, reducing water waste and facilitating a stable supply of water and nutrient solution to the plants in each module. Furthermore, since there is only one waterway—starting from the inlet of the topmost planting module (not connected to other rows) and ending at the outlet of the bottommost planting module (not connected to other rows)—when using an automatic water pump for irrigation, the pump only needs to be able to deliver the nutrient solution or water to the highest point of the topmost planting module, reducing the power requirements of the pump.

[0016] According to at least one embodiment of the cabinet disclosed herein, the cabinet further includes a connecting pipe through which two adjacent planting modules in the same column are connected.

[0017] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, adjacent planting modules in the same column are connected by connecting pipes to form multiple column-oriented water circulation paths. Nutrient solution and water are then irrigated in the top row of each column. The nutrient solution and water can automatically reach the planting modules in other rows of the same column by gravity through the connecting pipes, thereby decoupling the irrigation paths between different columns of planting modules, reducing pipeline complexity, and improving irrigation convenience, irrigation efficiency and system stability. Even if the pipeline in one column is blocked, it will not affect the irrigation of other columns of planting modules.

[0018] According to at least one embodiment of the cabinet disclosed herein, the cabinet further includes a water inlet pipe and a water outlet pipe. The planting module includes a water inlet and a water outlet. The water inlet of the top planting module in the same column is connected to the water inlet pipe, and the water outlet of the bottom planting module in the same column is connected to the water outlet pipe. In two adjacent planting modules in the same column, the water outlet of the upper planting module is connected to the water inlet of the lower planting module through the connecting pipe.

[0019] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, multiple independent column-oriented irrigation systems are formed through the design of inlet pipes, outlet pipes, and column-connecting pipes, each irrigating one row of planting modules. This simplifies the pipeline layout and improves irrigation efficiency, system stability, and maintenance convenience. It is worth noting that since there are multiple water paths, each starting from the topmost planting module of each row and ending at the bottommost planting module, when using automatic water pump irrigation, the pumps need to be able to deliver nutrient solution or water to the highest points of the multiple topmost planting modules. Therefore, a more powerful pump should be selected.

[0020] According to at least one embodiment of the cabinet of the present disclosure, the planting module further includes an upward-opening cavity for planting plants, wherein the water inlet and water outlet of the planting module are located on both sides of the cavity.

[0021] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, the upward-opening cavity design of the planting module facilitates plant planting and root growth. The water inlet and outlet are located on both sides of the cavity, thereby optimizing the water flow path, reducing water flow resistance, and facilitating full irrigation of the plants in each planting module.

[0022] According to at least one embodiment of the cabinet disclosed herein, the cabinet further includes a water inlet pipe and a drain pipe, the water inlet pipe and the drain pipe being respectively connected to the planting module.

[0023] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, each planting module is individually connected to both an inlet pipe and a drain pipe, thereby decoupling irrigation between each planting module and enabling individual irrigation of each module, thus improving irrigation precision. Simultaneously, the drain pipe facilitates the drainage of excess nutrient solution or water from the planting module, preventing excessive moisture from negatively impacting plant growth and survival.

[0024] According to at least one embodiment of the cabinet disclosed herein, the cabinet further includes a water tank and a water pump, the water tank being connected to the inlet pipe and the drain pipe respectively, and the water pump being used to pump liquid from the water tank into the inlet pipe.

[0025] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, the water tank and water pump enable an automated water circulation system. The water pump pumps the liquid in the water tank into the inlet pipe, reducing the workload of manual irrigation and improving irrigation efficiency and the stability of plant growth. Simultaneously, the drain pipe is connected to the water tank, allowing excess liquid from irrigation in the planting module to be recycled back into the tank. This saves nutrient solution and water, preventing waste, and also avoids excessive nutrient solution and water negatively impacting plant growth and survival.

[0026] According to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the water tank and the water pump are housed within the storage structure.

[0027] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, the water tank and water pump are housed in the storage structure, making full use of the cabinet space, optimizing the overall layout, keeping the cabinet appearance neat, and improving space utilization and aesthetics.

[0028] According to at least one embodiment of the cabinet of the present disclosure, the first side is further provided with a groove, in which the water inlet pipe and / or the drain pipe are received.

[0029] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, a groove is provided on the first side to accommodate the water inlet pipe and / or drain pipe, which can hide the water inlet pipe and / or drain pipe to a certain extent, reduce external clutter, and improve the overall aesthetics and safety of the cabinet. At the same time, the groove can also provide a certain degree of protection for the water inlet pipe and / or drain pipe, preventing them from being bumped, bent, or worn due to exposure to the outside, thereby extending the service life of the water inlet pipe and / or drain pipe.

[0030] According to at least one embodiment of the cabinet disclosed herein, the cabinet further includes a light fixture mounted on the planting module, the light fixture being capable of providing light to the plants.

[0031] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, lighting fixtures are installed on the planting module to provide necessary light for the plants, thereby compensating for insufficient light indoors or at night, promoting plant photosynthesis, and enhancing plant growth.

[0032] According to at least one embodiment of the cabinet disclosed herein, the cabinet further includes a controller and an environmental parameter detection device. The controller is connected to the water pump, the lamp, and the environmental parameter detection device, respectively. The environmental parameter detection device is used to output an environmental parameter signal. The controller is used to output a control signal based on the environmental parameter signal. The control signal is used to control the water pump and / or the lamp.

[0033] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, through the coordinated operation of the controller and the environmental parameter detection device, environmental parameters are monitored in real time and the working status of the water pump and lights is automatically adjusted, thereby achieving intelligent plant care, improving plant growth efficiency, and saving energy. It is understandable that plant care requires daily watering and fertilization. If users were to manually care for plants, it would require considerable effort, and inadequate care could lead to plant wilting, leaf drop, or even death, necessitating manual removal of fallen leaves or withered and dead plants, making maintenance difficult. Intelligent care, however, reduces this difficulty and improves user satisfaction.

[0034] According to at least one embodiment of the cabinet disclosed herein, the storage structure includes a frame, a first partition, a second partition, a third partition, a fourth partition, a fifth partition, a sixth partition, and a seventh partition; the first partition is used to divide the storage chamber enclosed by the frame into a left storage chamber and a right storage chamber; the second and third partitions are used to divide the left storage chamber into a first chamber, a second chamber, and a third chamber arranged sequentially from top to bottom; the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh partitions are used to divide the right storage chamber into a fourth chamber, a fifth chamber, a sixth chamber, a seventh chamber, and an eighth chamber arranged sequentially from top to bottom.

[0035] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, the storage chamber surrounded by the frame is divided into multiple independent chambers by multiple partitions, which can meet the needs of different items for classified storage, improve the diversity and practicality of storage functions, and improve the space utilization of the cabinet.

[0036] According to at least one embodiment of the cabinet disclosed herein, the front view of the first side of the cabinet body is rectangular, the length of the cabinet body is 120cm to 150cm, and the height of the cabinet body is 210cm to 240cm; the lengths of the first chamber and the second chamber are 60cm to 90cm respectively, and the total height of the first chamber and the second chamber is 40cm to 60cm; the third chamber includes a first storage space and a second storage space, the length of the first storage space is 60cm to 90cm, the height of the first storage space is 150cm to 155cm, the length of the second storage space is 80cm to 100cm, and the height of the second storage space is 20cm to 30cm; the length of the right storage chamber is 40cm to 60cm, wherein the total height of the fourth chamber and the fifth chamber is 40cm to 60cm, and the total height of the sixth chamber, the seventh chamber, and the eighth chamber is 150cm to 155cm.

[0037] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, by setting the size range of the cabinet and each chamber, the cabinet structure is compact and the storage chambers are reasonably allocated to meet the needs of different usage scenarios, while taking into account both aesthetics and practicality, which facilitates production and promotion.

Detailed Implementation

[0049] The present disclosure will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0050] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features described in this disclosure can be combined with each other. The technical solutions of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0051] Indoor greenery is gaining popularity as an important means of improving quality of life and environmental comfort. However, related technologies require specialized flower pots, planters, or balcony space for indoor planting. These facilities not only occupy extra space but may also affect the overall layout and aesthetics of the interior. Therefore, how to introduce green plants to improve space utilization while meeting daily functional needs has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0052] To this end, the present disclosure proposes the following technical solution, which cleverly utilizes a multi-functional and integrated design concept to integrate the planting module with the cabinet, satisfying both storage and planting needs. This not only helps improve space utilization but also enhances aesthetics, thereby providing users with a more livable and green living environment.

[0053] The cabinet with a planting module disclosed herein can be used in indoor spaces such as balconies and living rooms, thereby improving space utilization while meeting storage and planting needs.

[0054] Please combine Figures 1 to 6 The cabinet 1000 provided in this embodiment includes: a planting module 100 for planting plants; and a cabinet body 200, which includes a base plate 210 and a storage structure 220. The storage structure 220 is disposed on a first side of the base plate 210, and the planting module 100 is disposed on a second side of the base plate 210 opposite to the first side.

[0055] The cabinet 200 can be made of metal, wood, or composite materials, and has good structural stability and load-bearing capacity. Composite materials are materials made by combining two or more materials with different properties through physical or chemical methods.

[0056] Storage structure 220 can take the form of drawers, cabinet compartments, open compartments, or shelves, facilitating the storage of daily necessities, stationery, books, tools, or other small items for easy categorization and retrieval. Storage structure 220 can be ergonomically designed for convenient access to items; it can also be designed to fit the room's ceiling height, maximizing space utilization and storage capacity.

[0057] The planting module 100 may include one or more of a planting box, planting bag, or planting trough. The planting module 100 can hold plants and the medium required for their growth (such as soil, nutrient solution, or substrate), thereby facilitating plant cultivation. The number of planting modules 100 may be one or more. The specific location of the planting module 100 on the second side can be set according to requirements and is not limited herein. Multiple planting modules 100 may have identical, partially identical, or completely different shapes. Multiple planting modules 100 may have identical, partially identical, or completely different dimensions. The shape and size of the planting module 100 can be set according to requirements and are not limited herein.

[0058] The planting module 100 can be integrally formed and disposed on the second side of the substrate 210.

[0059] The cabinet 1000 of this disclosure achieves multifunctionality by providing a storage structure 220 on the first side of the substrate 210 and a planting module 100 on the second side of the substrate 210. It can meet both daily storage needs and plant planting needs, save space, improve space utilization, and enhance the greening effect and practicality of the home or office environment.

[0060] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the cabinet 1000 further includes a hinge 300, which includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion being rotatably connected, the first connecting portion being used to fix to the outer wall of the storage structure 220, and the second connecting portion being used to fix to a target position.

[0061] The hinge 300 may include one or more of a hinge, hinge pin, hinge chain, and hinge plate. The number of hinges 300 and their installation positions on the cabinet 200 can be set according to requirements and are not limited here. The hinge 300 not only serves to connect the cabinet 200 to the target position, but also enables the cabinet 200 to rotate or flip relative to the target position.

[0062] In one example, the hinge 300 is a hinge, the first connecting part is a first plate-shaped structure, and the second connecting part is a second plate-shaped structure. One end of the first plate-shaped structure is provided with a shaft hole, and one end of the second plate-shaped structure is provided with a hinge shaft, or one end of the second plate-shaped structure is provided with a shaft hole, and one end of the first plate-shaped structure is provided with a hinge shaft. Thus, when the hinge shaft is housed in the shaft hole, the first connecting part and the second connecting part can rotate relative to each other.

[0063] The target location can be a location on a wall or other furniture.

[0064] In one example, cabinet 1000 is connected to the wall via hinge 300. Rotating cabinet 1000 selectively reveals either the side with storage structure 220 or the side with planting module 100. For example, please combine... Figure 7 With the planting module 100 visible, rotating the cabinet 1000 clockwise will cause the planting module 100 to revert from visible to hidden, and the storage structure 220 to revert from hidden to visible. Items can then be stored and retrieved. Please combine this with... Figure 8 With the storage structure 220 visible, rotating the cabinet 1000 counterclockwise will cause the storage structure 220 to become hidden, while the planting module 100 will become visible, allowing the planted greenery to be viewed. This eliminates the need for a cabinet door, effectively conceals the storage structure 220, and enhances the aesthetics and visual appeal of the cabinet 1000. The rotation angle achievable by the hinge 300 can be set according to requirements and is not limited here.

[0065] The design of the hinge 300 in the cabinet 1000 of the above embodiment allows the cabinet 200 to be flexibly adjusted in position or angle relative to the target position by rotating the first connecting part and the second connecting part, thereby enhancing the adaptability and ease of installation of the cabinet 1000.

[0066] In some embodiments, a handle 400 may be provided on the second side of the cabinet 200 to facilitate rotating the cabinet 200 by means of the handle 400.

[0067] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the cabinet further includes: a base; and a connecting shaft, one end of which can be mounted on the base and the other end of which can be mounted on the cabinet body, the cabinet body being rotatable about the connecting shaft.

[0068] The base can be a four-legged structure, a chassis structure, or a movable structure with wheels.

[0069] The connecting shaft can be a single shaft or a multi-segment combination shaft. One end of the connecting shaft can be fixed to the base by bolts, welding, or embedding, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the base and the connecting shaft. The other end of the connecting shaft can be inserted into a pre-set bushing or bearing in the cabinet.

[0070] In one example, one end of the connecting shaft is mounted on the base via a hinge, allowing the connecting shaft to rotate relative to the base. For instance, when it needs to be used with a cabinet, the connecting shaft can be rotated to a vertical position and locked in place by an additional locking mechanism, thereby improving structural stability during use. When not used with a cabinet, the connecting shaft can be rotated to a horizontal position, making it convenient for storage and transportation.

[0071] The cabinet described above, through the design of the base and connecting shaft, allows the cabinet body to rotate around the connecting shaft, making it convenient for users to adjust the orientation of the cabinet body, optimize the lighting or spatial layout of the planting module, and improve the flexibility of use and the adaptability of plant growth.

[0072] In some embodiments of this disclosure, there are multiple planting modules 100, which form an array that is distributed horizontally and vertically.

[0073] In the above-described embodiment, the cabinet 1000 has multiple planting modules 100 arranged in a horizontal and vertical array, which increases the planting area, allows for the planting of more plants, improves space utilization, facilitates modular management, and optimizes the plant growth environment.

[0074] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the cabinet 1000 further includes a connecting pipe 500, two adjacent planting modules 100 in the same row are connected by the connecting pipe 500, and the planting module 100 at one end of the (n-1)th row is connected to the planting module 100 at one end of the nth row by the connecting pipe 500, and the planting module 100 at the other end of the nth row is connected to the planting module 100 at the other end of the (n+1)th row by the connecting pipe 500, where n is a positive integer and is greater than or equal to 2.

[0075] The connecting pipe 500 can be multiple independent pipes. The connecting pipe 500 can be integrally formed with the planting module 100, or it can be separately installed on the planting module 100. The material of the connecting pipe 500 can be set according to requirements and is not limited here.

[0076] The cabinet 1000 in the above embodiment connects multiple planting modules 100 in the entire array through the connecting pipe 500, forming a continuous water circulation from top to bottom. Nutrient solution and water are then irrigated in the uppermost planting module 100. The nutrient solution and water can then automatically reach the planting modules 100 in other rows by gravity through the connecting pipe 500, thereby simplifying the irrigation process, facilitating maintenance and management, and improving water resource utilization efficiency.

[0077] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the cabinet 1000 further includes a water inlet pipe 600 and a drain pipe 700. The planting module 100 includes a water inlet 110 and a water outlet 120. The water inlet 110 of the topmost planting module 100, which is not connected to other rows, is connected to the water inlet pipe 600. The water outlet 120 of the bottommost planting module 100, which is not connected to other rows, is connected to the drain pipe 700. In the same row, the water inlet 110 of one of two adjacent planting modules 100 is connected to the water outlet 120 of the other planting module 100 via a connecting pipe 500. Figure 2 As shown.

[0078] The materials of the inlet pipe 600 and the drain pipe 700 can be set according to requirements and are not limited here.

[0079] The cabinet 1000 described above, through the design of the inlet pipe 600, the outlet pipe 700, and the connecting pipe 500, forms a complete irrigation system. This ensures that water flows smoothly through the multiple planting modules 100 in an approximately "S-shaped" waterway, reducing water waste and facilitating a stable supply of water and nutrient solution to the plants in each planting module 100. Furthermore, since there is only one waterway—starting from the inlet 110 of the topmost planting module 100 (not connected to other rows) and ending at the outlet 120 of the bottommost planting module 100 (not connected to other rows)—when using an automatic water pump for irrigation, the pump only needs to be able to pump the nutrient solution or water to the highest point of the topmost planting module 100, reducing the power requirements of the pump.

[0080] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the cabinet also includes a connecting pipe, through which two adjacent planting modules in the same column are connected.

[0081] The connecting pipes can be multiple independent pipes. They can be integrally molded with the planting module or installed separately on it. The material of the connecting pipes can be selected according to requirements and is not limited here.

[0082] In the cabinet described above, adjacent planting modules in the same column are connected by connecting pipes to form multiple column-oriented water circulation paths. Nutrient solution and water are then irrigated in the top row of each column. The nutrient solution and water can automatically reach other planting modules in the same column by gravity through the connecting pipes, thereby decoupling the irrigation paths between different columns of planting modules, reducing pipeline complexity, and improving irrigation convenience, irrigation efficiency, and system stability. Even if the pipeline in one column is blocked, it will not affect the irrigation of other columns of planting modules.

[0083] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the cabinet also includes a water inlet pipe and a water outlet pipe, the planting module includes a water inlet and a water outlet, the water inlet of the top planting module in the same column is connected to the water inlet pipe, the water outlet of the bottom planting module in the same column is connected to the water outlet pipe, and the water outlet of the upper planting module in two adjacent planting modules in the same column is connected to the water inlet of the lower planting module through a connecting pipe.

[0084] The materials for the water inlet and outlet pipes can be customized according to requirements and are not limited here.

[0085] The cabinet described above, through the design of inlet pipes, outlet pipes, and column-connecting pipes, forms multiple independent column-oriented irrigation systems, irrigating each row of planting modules separately. This simplifies the pipe layout and improves irrigation efficiency, system stability, and ease of maintenance. It is worth noting that, because there are multiple water paths, each starting from the topmost planting module of each row and ending at the bottommost planting module, when using automatic water pump irrigation, the pump needs to be able to deliver the nutrient solution or water to the highest point of each of the multiple topmost planting modules. Therefore, a more powerful pump should be selected.

[0086] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the planting module 100 further includes a cavity with an opening 130 facing upward, the cavity being used for planting plants, and the water inlet 110 and water outlet 120 of the planting module 100 are located on both sides of the cavity.

[0087] For example, the inlet 110 is located near the opening 130, meaning the height difference between the inlet 110 and the opening 130 is less than or equal to a height difference threshold; the outlet 120 is also located near the opening 130, meaning the height difference between the outlet 120 and the opening 130 is less than or equal to a height difference threshold. The height difference threshold can be set according to requirements and is not limited here. The placement of the inlet 110 and outlet 120 near the opening 130 ensures that the inlet 110 and outlet 120 are far from the bottom of the cavity, thereby reducing the scouring of the soil and other media at the bottom of the planting module 100 by the water flow and preventing the soil and other media from clogging the pipes.

[0088] In the cabinet 1000 described above, the opening 130 of the planting module 100 is designed to face upwards to facilitate plant planting and root growth. The water inlet 110 and the water outlet 120 are located on both sides of the cavity, thereby optimizing the water flow path, reducing water flow resistance, and facilitating full irrigation of the plants in each planting module 100.

[0089] In other embodiments, the inlet 110 and / or outlet 120 may also be located at the bottom of the cavity or other locations, which are not limited here.

[0090] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the cabinet also includes a water inlet pipe and a water outlet pipe, which are respectively connected to the planting module.

[0091] In the cabinet described above, each planting module is individually connected to both an inlet pipe and a drain pipe, thus decoupling irrigation between each planting module and allowing for individual irrigation of each module, thereby improving irrigation precision. Simultaneously, the drain pipes facilitate the removal of excess nutrient solution or water from the planting modules, preventing excessive moisture from negatively impacting plant growth and survival.

[0092] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the cabinet 1000 further includes a water tank 800 and a water pump. The water tank 800 is connected to an inlet pipe 600 and a drain pipe 700, respectively, and the water pump is used to pump the liquid in the water tank 800 into the inlet pipe 600.

[0093] The liquid in the water tank 800 may include water and / or nutrient solution. The size, shape, and installation location of the water tank 800 can be set according to requirements and are not limited herein. The water in the water tank 800 can be added manually by the user or supplied by a tap connected to the water tank 800.

[0094] The water pump can be one or more of a centrifugal pump, a submersible pump, and a self-priming pump. When powered on, the water pump can pump liquid from the water tank 800 into the inlet pipe 600. Exemplarily, the power supply to the water pump can be manually controlled by the user or automatically controlled by a controller; this is not limited to this.

[0095] The cabinet 1000, water tank 800, and water pump in the above-described embodiment enable an automated water circulation system. The water pump pumps the liquid from the water tank 800 into the inlet pipe 600, reducing the workload of manual irrigation and improving irrigation efficiency and the stability of plant growth. Simultaneously, the drain pipe 700 is connected to the water tank 800, allowing excess liquid from irrigation in the planting module 100 to be recycled back into the water tank 800. This saves nutrient solution and water, preventing waste, and also avoids excessive nutrient solution and water negatively impacting plant growth and survival.

[0096] In some embodiments, a filter device is provided at the connection between the water tank 800 and the drain pipe 700 to prevent impurities such as mud in the recovered liquid from contaminating the water tank 800. The filter device may be a filter or gauze.

[0097] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the water tank 800 and the water pump are housed in the storage structure 220.

[0098] For example, the water tank 800 and the water pump can be housed in the lowermost storage structure 220, thereby facilitating replacement, maintenance, and preventing damage to other items stored in the storage structure 220 due to liquid leakage from the water tank 800.

[0099] In the above-described embodiment, the cabinet 1000, water tank 800, and water pump are housed in the storage structure 220, making full use of the space in the cabinet 200, optimizing the overall layout, maintaining the neat appearance of the cabinet 1000, and improving space utilization and aesthetics.

[0100] In some embodiments of this disclosure, a groove is also provided on the first side, in which the water inlet pipe 600 and / or the drain pipe 700 are received.

[0101] For example, the first side and the second side are two opposite sides of the base plate 210 of the cabinet 200, and thus the groove can be formed on the first side of the base plate 210.

[0102] The cabinet 1000 of the above embodiment has a groove on its first side for accommodating the water inlet pipe 600 and / or the drain pipe 700. This groove can conceal the water inlet pipe 600 and / or the drain pipe 700 to a certain extent, reducing external clutter and improving the overall aesthetics and safety of the cabinet 1000. At the same time, the groove also provides some protection for the water inlet pipe 600 and / or the drain pipe 700, preventing them from being damaged by impacts, bending, or wear due to exposure, thereby extending their service life.

[0103] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the cabinet 1000 also includes lighting fixtures mounted on the planting module 100, which are capable of providing light to the plants.

[0104] For example, the luminaire may be one or more of LED plant grow lights, fluorescent lamps, full-spectrum incandescent lamps, and metal halide lamps. The luminaire may be installed on each planting module 100 individually, or on some planting modules 100; this is not limited here.

[0105] The cabinet 1000 of the above embodiment is equipped with lamps on the planting module 100, which can provide necessary light for the plants, thereby making up for insufficient light indoors or at night, promoting plant photosynthesis, and enhancing plant growth.

[0106] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the cabinet 1000 further includes a controller and an environmental parameter detection device. The controller is connected to the water pump, the lamps, and the environmental parameter detection device, respectively. The environmental parameter detection device is used to output environmental parameter signals, and the controller is used to output control signals based on the environmental parameter signals. The control signals are used to control the water pump and / or the lamps.

[0107] For example, the controller can be a device with processing capabilities and input / output interfaces, such as a microcontroller unit (MCU), a programmable logic controller (PLC), a single-board computer (SBC), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The controller can automatically control the water pump to turn on or off, and / or automatically control the lights to turn on or off, based on different environmental parameter signals.

[0108] The environmental parameter detection device may include one or more of a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, and a light intensity sensor. The number and installation location of the environmental parameter detection device can be set according to requirements and are not limited here. The environmental parameter signal may include one or more of a temperature parameter, a humidity parameter, and a light intensity parameter.

[0109] In one example, an environmental parameter detection device is installed on each planting module 100 to accurately obtain the environmental parameters at each planting module 100, which helps to improve the control accuracy of water pumps and / or lighting fixtures.

[0110] In another example, an environmental parameter detection device is installed in each row of an array formed by multiple planting modules 100, thereby saving the cost of environmental parameter detection devices while ensuring a certain level of control accuracy.

[0111] The cabinet 1000 described above, through the coordinated operation of a controller and an environmental parameter detection device, monitors environmental parameters in real time and automatically adjusts the working status of the water pump and lights, achieving intelligent plant care, improving plant growth efficiency, and saving energy. It is understandable that plant care requires daily watering and fertilization. If users were to manually maintain the plants, it would require considerable effort, and inadequate care could lead to plant wilting, leaf drop, or even death, necessitating manual removal of fallen leaves or withered / dead plants, making maintenance difficult. Intelligent care, however, reduces this difficulty and improves user satisfaction.
