[0029] The utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The following description is merely exemplary and does not limit the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0030] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a multifunctional smart flowerpot includes a pot body 1 and electronic components. An installation cavity 11 is provided inside the pot body 1, and a planting cavity 12 with an upward opening is provided at the top of the pot body 1. The electronic components include a circuit board 2 installed in the installation cavity 11 and serving as the control center, a touch detection module (not shown) electrically connected to the circuit board 2, a touch sensor 3 installed at the bottom of the planting cavity 12 and electrically connected to the touch detection module, and a speaker 4 installed in the installation cavity 11 and electrically connected to the circuit board 2. The touch sensor 3 is used to interact with the soil and plants placed in the planting cavity 12. When a person touches the plant, a capacitance signal is formed between the person and the plant. This capacitance signal is detected by the touch detection module and ultimately collected by the circuit board 2. Then, the circuit board 2 controls the speaker 4 to play a corresponding prompt tone, such as "hello" or "welcome." Therefore, the naturally conductive media such as the soil and plants inside the smart flowerpot are essentially equivalent to touch sensors.
[0031] In summary, this invention triggers a specific prompt sound by human touch on the plant. When a user touches the plant in the flowerpot, a capacitive signal is generated between the human body and the plant. This signal is detected by the touch detection module and ultimately collected by the circuit board 2. Upon receiving a valid signal, the circuit board 2 immediately drives the speaker 4 to play a preset prompt sound, meaning the flowerpot can interact with the user through the plant. Therefore, this smart flowerpot adds a fun and interactive function to the traditional static ornamental plant.
[0032] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a control panel 13 is also provided on the outer wall of the pot body 1; a button assembly 14 electrically connected to the circuit board 2 is provided on the control panel 13; a humidity sensor 7 electrically connected to the circuit board 2 is installed at the bottom of the planting cavity 12; the button assembly 14 includes a humidity sensing button 141 that cooperates with the humidity sensor 7. Through the above settings, the humidity sensor 7 at the bottom of the planting cavity 12 will automatically detect the soil moisture; specifically, when the soil is dry, the flowerpot will emit two consecutive distress beeps to remind the user that watering is needed; when the soil moisture is suitable, the flowerpot will emit two consecutive happy beeps to indicate that the plant is in good condition. If it is necessary to check the humidity again, the switch button 143 can be turned on again or the humidity sensing button 141 can be pressed.
[0033] The humidity sensing button 141 can be used to control the working state of the humidity sensor 7. The soil moisture signal detected by the humidity sensor 7 is uploaded to the circuit board 2, which is the control center. After receiving a valid signal, the circuit board 2 will immediately drive the speaker 4 to play a preset prompt tone.
[0034] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the control panel 13 also includes a recording microphone 15 and a recording indicator light 16, both electrically connected to the circuit board 2. The button assembly 14 includes recording buttons 142 that correspond to the recording microphone 15 and the recording indicator light 16. When the recording button 142 is pressed, the recording indicator light 16 illuminates, allowing users to record audio using the recording microphone 15. The recorded audio can then be played back through the speaker 4. Specifically, the recording indicator light 16 illuminates for 15 seconds, after which it turns off, indicating the end of the recording. This configuration provides immediate feedback to the user by illuminating the recording indicator light 16 after pressing the recording button 142, allowing the user to see the current recording status and preventing accidental operation. Furthermore, the addition of voice recording functionality enhances the product's interactivity, fun, and user experience.
[0035] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a light sensor 131 electrically connected to the circuit board 2 is installed on the control panel 13. When the light sensor 131 detects that the surrounding environment of the pot 1 is daytime, the circuit board 2 controls the touch detection module (not shown) to maintain detection so that the speaker 4 can emit a corresponding prompt sound when a person touches the plant. When the light sensor 131 detects that the surrounding environment of the pot 1 is nighttime, the circuit board 2 controls the touch detection module to stop detection so that the speaker 4 will not emit a corresponding prompt sound when a person touches the plant. Through the above settings, the circuit board 2 controls the light sensor 131 to realize the switching of ambient light modes, which can extend the life of the pot 1 and avoid disturbing the user at night.
[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the button assembly 14 also includes a switch button 143. With the above configuration, the switch button 143 can act as the main power switch for the basin 1, responsible for powering on and off the entire circuit system.
[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, a battery 17 electrically connected to the circuit board 2 and used to provide power is also provided in the mounting cavity 11. Through the above arrangement, the battery 17 continuously supplies power to the circuit board 2, ensuring that the basic function of the basin 1 is not affected.
[0038] like Figures 1-5As shown, a water outlet pipe 5 is also provided on the bottom surface of the planting cavity 12; the water outlet pipe 5 extends downward from the bottom surface of the planting cavity 12 to the bottom surface of the pot body 1. Through the above arrangement, excess water in the planting cavity 12 is discharged through the water outlet pipe 5.
[0039] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, multiple evenly distributed anti-slip pads 6 are also provided on the bottom surface of the basin 1. Through the above arrangement, the basin 1 can play a role in buffering and shock absorption, anti-slip and stability during operation, preventing the basin 1 from sliding on the smooth table surface due to vibration, and ensuring that the basin 1 is placed stably.
[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, the basin 1 includes an outer shell 18 with an upper opening and an inner shell 19 that is fitted inside the outer shell 18; an installation cavity 11 is formed between the inner wall of the outer shell 18 and the outer wall of the inner shell 19; the planting cavity 12 is located in the inner shell 19; and the touch sensor 3 is connected to the inner shell 19. This arrangement facilitates the installation of various electronic components and also protects the components within the installation cavity 11 using the outer shell 18.
[0041] As a preferred configuration, the touch sensor 3 is made of conductive material. There are no specific limitations on the material used, as long as it can be used to form an electrical connection with the circuit board 2 and the touch detection module.
[0042] This utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. If any modifications or variations to this utility model do not depart from the spirit and scope of this utility model, and if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims and equivalent technologies of this utility model, then this utility model also intends to include such modifications and variations.
