Referring to
During use, the water delivery pipe 2 of the intelligent water supply planting pot 10 is connected to a domestic tap water pipe (not shown in the drawings). When the humidity detector 113 detects that the soil moisture in the planting cavity 111 is less than the preset humidity value in the controller 3, the controller 3 sends an instruction to switch on the electromagnetic valve 21, so that the water from the domestic tap water pipe flows into the water delivery pipe 2 to replenish water into the soil within the planting cavity. When the humidity detector 113 detects that the soil moisture in the planting cavity is equal to the preset humidity value in the controller 3, the controller 3 sends an instruction to switch off the electromagnetic valve 21. At this moment, the water from the domestic tap water pipe cannot flow into the water delivery pipe 2 in the planting cavity to prevent the soil moisture in the planting cavity 111 from being excessively replenished. As such, the water replenishment amount can be automatically and reasonably controlled according to the soil moisture in the planting cavity 111. The planting pot is convenient to use, and does not need manual watering any longer. In addition, electrical energy can also be supplied to the controller 3 through the solar panel 4.
It is to be noted that the intelligent planting pot 10 provided in accordance with the present disclosure can be used for planting plants, such as melons and fruits, vegetables, flowering plants, green plants, bonsai, and medicinal materials.
In one embodiment, a control button 13 is provided on the pot body 1. The control button 13 is located outside the containing cavity 11 and is electrically connected to the controller 3. The control button 13 is used for controlling the on-off of a circuit of the controller 3. During use, the control button 13 can be pressed down, so that the circuit of the controller 3 can be in an on state. When the intelligent water supply planting pot does not need to be used, the control button 13 can be pressed down again, so that the control button 13 bounces back to restore its original state, and then the circuit of the controller 3 is in an off state.
In one embodiment, the water delivery pipe 2 penetrates through the partition plate 12 and is bent and contained in the containing cavity 11, and one end of the water delivery pipe 2 extends beyond the pot body 1. Specifically, the end of the water delivery pipe 2 extending beyond the pot body 1 is provided with a joint 22 for facilitating connection with the domestic tap water pipe.
In one embodiment, a flowmeter 23 is provided in the water delivery pipe 2. The flowmeter 23 is electrically connected to the controller 3 and is located in part of the water delivery pipe 2 in the equipment cavity 112. The humidity detector 113 is located in part of the water delivery pipe 2 in the equipment cavity 112. The controller 3 can display flow rate information detected by the flowmeter 23 and the information of a preset flow rate value.
In one embodiment, a mounting plate 114 is arranged at the top of the equipment cavity 112. The controller 3 is mounted on the mounting plate 114.
In one embodiment, a first mounting hole 1141 for mounting the controller 3 is formed in the mounting plate 114, and the controller 3 is mounted at the first mounting hole 1141.
In one embodiment, a sliding column 41 is provided on one side of the solar panel 4 close to the mounting plate 114, and the sliding column 41 slides to penetrate through the mounting plate 114. In this way, the sliding column 41 slides on the mounting plate 114, so that the height of the solar panel 4 is adjustable, and the solar panel 4 can cover the mounting plate 114.
In one embodiment, the intelligent water supply planting pot 10 further includes a power supply 5. The power supply 5 is mounted on the mounting plate 114 and is electrically connected to the controller 3 and the solar panel 4. In this way, the solar panel 4 can supply electric energy to the controller 3, and meanwhile, can charge for the power supply 5. The power supply 5 supplies electric energy to the controller 3.
In one embodiment, a second mounting hole 1142 for mounting the power supply 5 is formed in the mounting plate 114. The power supply 5 is mounted in the second mounting hole 1142.
In one embodiment, the mounting plate 114 is provided with a USB interface. The USB interface is connected to the power supply 5 and is used for connecting a plant light-supplement lamp or a camera. An external power supply interface 14 is also formed in the pot body 1. The external power supply interface 14 is connected to the power supply 5 and is used for connecting the external power supply.
