The water basin cover 3 comprises holes for flowers to pass through and water holes for rain and water to pass through, and when raining or watering, the rain and water can pass through the water holes to enter the flowerpot and/or the water basin. The basin 2 preferably also has other holes through which water can be injected from the outside.

Wherein, the soil of the flowerpot 1 is provided with a capillary structure (not shown in the figure) which is communicated with the bottom of the water basin 2 and is used for leading the water in the water basin 2 into the flowerpot. The capillary structure comprises cotton thread, capillary tube, etc.

In a preferred embodiment, the flower box further comprises a controller 9 and a sensor 10, wherein the controller 9 can be arranged on the bracket 4, and can be arranged in the cavity 8 between the outer shell 12 and the outer wall of the basin 2, and can also be arranged at other positions. The sensors 10 include one or more of a temperature sensor, a soil humidity sensor, a soil ph sensor, a collision sensor, a basin water storage sensor, a rainfall sensor, and the like.

The power supply for the controller and sensors may be an external power supply or a battery 11 built into the flower box, the battery 11 preferably being placed below the basin 2 within the housing 12.

The sensors 10 are connected to the controller 9 and send respective detected signals to the controller 10, and the controller 10 displays corresponding information in the form of sound and image according to the signals (for example, a display screen and/or a loudspeaker are arranged on the side of the flower box). Or transmitted to the server in a wireless mode and monitored by a remote terminal. Note that the sensor 10 and the connection circuit overlap the bowl 2 in terms of view angle, but are not located in the water-holding cavity of the bowl 2.

In a preferred scheme, a water pipe and a pump are connected between the water basin 2 and the flowerpot 1, and the controller 10 can send commands to control the pump to work so as to pump water from the water basin 2 into the flowerpot 1.

In a preferred scheme, a solar cell panel 5 is arranged at the top of the flower box and used for receiving solar energy, finally converting the solar energy into electric energy through an electric energy converter 6 and storing the electric energy into a battery 11.

The flower box further comprises support structures 7 on both sides of the top for supporting the flower box on a support (not shown in the figures).

Further, the housing 12 is shown as being U-shaped in cross-section, however, it should be appreciated that the cross-sectional shape may be rectangular or other regular or irregular shapes.

Example 2:

referring to fig. 2, there is shown a scheme of example 2 of the present invention, which is substantially the same as example 1. The structure of the basin cover 3 fully considers the condition of too much rainwater. When the rainwater is too much, a large amount of water flows through the water basin cover 3 and is rapidly collected into the water basin 2, the condition that the water accumulated in the water basin 2 excessively floods the flowerpot 1 can occur, so that the water in the flowerpot is excessive, the root of the flower is soaked by the water, the growth of the flowers is influenced, and the damage is caused. In view of this, in the solution of embodiment 2 of the present invention, the flowerpot cover 3 adopts a special structure. Referring specifically to fig. 2, which shows a partial sectional view of the cover for a flowerpot in embodiment 2 of the present invention, wherein the water hole 31 of the cover for a flowerpot 3 includes an upper through hole section 311 connected to the upper surface, a lower through hole section 312 connected to the lower surface, and an intermediate connection section 313 connecting the two through hole sections, wherein the upper through hole section 311 and the lower through hole section 312 are horizontally staggered, and the lowest point of the sidewall of the upper through hole section 311 adjacent to the lower through hole section 312 is higher than the highest point of the lower through hole section 312, such that the intermediate connection section 313 integrally forms an obliquely upward structure from the lowest point of the upper through hole section 311 to the uppermost point of the lower through hole section 312, and the intermediate connection section 313 has a smaller diameter than the upper through hole section 311. Thus, in the rain, rainwater reaches the surface of the tub cover 3, partially enters the upper through hole section 311, then passes through the obliquely upward intermediate connection section 313, and then enters the inside of the tub through the lower through hole section 312. When the rainwater is too large, a large amount of rainwater rapidly enters the upper through hole section 311, but since the rainwater is reduced in diameter when passing through the intermediate connection section 313 and flows upward at the intermediate connection section 311, the flow rate of the water passing therethrough is rapidly reduced, the rainwater in the upper through hole section 311 is retained and slowly filled up, and thus the rainwater falling to the upper through hole section 311 cannot completely flow downward into the water tub but flows around and flows out of the flower box at the edge (not shown) of the flower pot cover 3. Such structure makes even the rainwater is too big, and the water yield that flows into the flower case in the twinkling of an eye can not be too much, the condition that basin 2 filled up the rainwater fast can not appear. The situation that the water accumulation sensor cannot react in time or the water accumulation signal is detected, and the water accumulation sensor does not have time to process in time is avoided.

Moreover, with the structure of the invention, when the weather is overheated, the water vapor is prevented from being discharged outwards, a small environment with certain humidity is formed inside the water basin 2, and the excessive evaporation of water in the soil of the flowerpot 1 can be avoided.

In another version, as shown in fig. 3, the basin cover 3 comprises an upper cover 3a and a lower cover 3b stacked, wherein the upper and lower covers can perform relative translation. Wherein an upper through-hole section is formed on the upper cover 3a and a lower through-hole section is formed on the lower cover 3b, and the middle connection section 313 includes an upper connection section 313a on the upper cover 3a and a lower connection section 313b on the lower cover 3 b. The upper and lower connecting sections may be groove structures formed on the upper and lower covers, which are adjacent to the upper through hole section 311 or the lower through hole section 312, or may be separated by a distance, or may be communicated with the through holes. In fig. 3, the upper and lower connecting

segments

313a, 313b are arc-shaped grooves, but it should be understood that they may be grooves of other shapes.

As can be seen from comparing fig. 3A and 3B, by adjusting the relative position between the upper cover 3A and the lower cover 3B horizontally, the sectional area of the intermediate connection section 313, i.e., the instantaneous water flow, can be adjusted indirectly, and the water amount entering the basin through the water holes 31 can be adjusted. A driving device for driving the upper cover 3a and the lower cover 3b to move relatively is well known and will not be described in detail here.

By adopting the scheme of fig. 3, the controller 10 can control the action of the driving mechanism of the basin cover 3 in real time according to the signals of the rainfall sensor and the basin water storage sensor, so as to adjust the water inflow of the basin cover 3, completely isolate the through hole section 311 and the lower through hole section 312 when necessary, and further completely block rainwater outside.

Example 3:

as shown in fig. 4, the scheme of embodiment 3 of the invention is shown, and the scheme further considers the control of the water amount entering the flowerpot 1, so as to avoid the damage to the flowers caused by excessive water entering the soil of the flowerpot 1 and too long time for soaking the roots of the flowers in water.

In the drawings, the cover 3 includes an upper cover 3a and a lower cover 3b, wherein the lower cover 3b includes a sidewall structure to form a groove structure, and the upper cover 3a can be inserted into the groove of the lower cover 3b and can move relative to the lower cover 3 b. For example, the upper cover is supported by an elastic member 34 (e.g., a spring) provided on the lower cover 3b, and the number of the elastic member 34 may be plural, and preferably, the elasticity thereof may be adjusted so that a certain gap is maintained between the upper and lower covers. The upper cover 3a is provided with a water storage tank 32, and the water storage tank 32 has a certain length on the whole upper cover 3a, for example, can be annular or other shapes, so as to ensure that a certain amount of water can be stored. Preferably, the bottom of the water storage tank 32 is a slope structure (may be one slope, or may be two slopes butted like a funnel cross section), and the lowest end of the slope is provided with a plurality of first small holes 32a, which are formed at a part of the upper cover, and the lower cover 3b is formed with a plurality of second small holes 32b corresponding to the positions and the number of the first small holes 32 a.

The upper cover 3a has a plurality of upper through-hole sections 311, the lower cover 3b has a plurality of lower through-hole sections 311b, and the pot cover 3 does not cross at the position where the upper through-hole sections 311 and the lower through-hole sections 312 located above the pot 1 (not shown in the drawings) are projected in the horizontal direction. And at the position where there is no flowerpot 1, for example, the periphery of the basin 2, the projections of the upper through-hole section 311 and the lower through-hole section 312 in the horizontal direction intersect. As shown in fig. 4B, when the upper and lower covers 3a and 3B are brought into contact, the upper and lower through-

holes

311 and 312 are isolated from each other at a position above the port 1 and water cannot pass therethrough, and the upper and lower through-

hole sections

311 and 312 are communicated at a position where the port 1 is absent and water can normally flow therethrough.

With the solution of embodiment 3, normally, as shown in fig. 4A, the upper cover 3a is embedded in the lower cover 3b, and a little distance is maintained between the upper cover 3a and the lower cover 3b due to the support of the elastic member 34. When raining, rainwater enters the gap through the upper through hole section 311 of the upper cover 3a, and then flows down through the lower through hole section 312 of the lower cover 3b to enter the water basin 2 or the flowerpot 1, respectively. Meanwhile, rainwater also enters the water storage tank 32 and flows into the gap through the first small hole 32a (although the first small hole 32a may not be provided in one embodiment, rainwater is stored in the water storage tank 32), wherein the diameter of the first small hole 32a is smaller, the quantity of the rainwater is smaller, and therefore, the water flow is smaller, and the amount of the water entering the water storage tank 32 is larger than the amount of the water flowing out.

When the rainfall amount gradually increases and the amount of water stored in the reservoir tank 32 gradually increases, the elastic member 34 starts to compress by gravity, the gap between the upper cover 3a and the lower cover 3b gradually decreases, and the amount of water that can flow through the gap also gradually decreases.

When the water amount reaches a certain value, the upper cover and the lower cover are completely attached, and the gap completely disappears. At this time, the upper through hole section 311 and the lower through hole section 312 at the upper position of the flowerpot 1 are completely isolated, water in the upper through hole section 311 cannot flow out, and rainwater cannot enter the upper through hole section 311 any more and flows around after the upper through hole section 311 is completely filled. The upper and lower through-

hole sections

311 and 312 at the position of the flowerpot 1 are directly connected, and rainwater can directly flow through the upper and lower through-hole sections into the flowerpot 1 from the position and be stored.

Thus, when raining, certain rainwater can enter the flowerpot 1, but when a certain amount of rainwater is reached, the water quantity entering the flowerpot 1 can be automatically cut off, and all the rainwater enters the water basin 2.

The amount of water introduced into the flowerpot 1 is selected according to the elasticity of the elastic member 34, the gap between the upper and lower covers, the capacity of the water storage tank, the number and diameter of the small holes, etc., and is experimentally determined.

The material of the basin lid 3 is a light material, such as plastic, resin, etc.

Here, it is preferable that the lower through hole section 312 protrudes from a portion without through holes around the lower surface of the lower cover 3b, so that rainwater can directly flow down around the through holes without moving to other portions along the lower surface.

Preferably, the elastic member 34 has a locking mechanism, which locks the spring when it is compressed to the lowest point, so that the rainwater in the water storage tank 32 will not bounce even if it is gradually reduced, and the rainwater needs to be opened manually or electrically. The locking mechanism is common, for example, a pressing head structure of a fountain pen, some travel trigger switches, and the like, and the structure thereof will not be described here.

The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various modifications and decorations can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these modifications and decorations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention. Furthermore, although specific terms are employed herein, they are used in a generic and descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation.
