Detailed Description

The technical solution of the present patent will be described in further detail with reference to the following embodiments.

Referring to fig. 1-4, the intelligent flowerpot based on the 3D printing technology comprises a housing and an inner container 8, wherein the housing is manufactured by the 3D printing technology, can be customized according to the personalized requirements of users, and can be customized in size, shape, external texture and pattern. The printing of shell uses SLA photocuring 3D printing technique shaping, and the spraying paint of optional appointed colour colors or beautifies with the pattern sticker, can also use translucent photosensitive resin to print in addition, conveniently demonstrates inner structure, makes the product more have the science and technology and feels.

The main body part of the inner container 8 is manufactured by using a 3D printing technology, the material is preferably nylon, and the nylon is printed and formed in an SLS (selective laser sintering) mode to obtain better strength and toughness. The size of the inner container 8 can also be adjusted according to the plant to be cultivated. The bottom of the inner container 8 is provided with a plurality of draining holes, a grid structure is adopted, and a fine hole filter screen is lined, so that the water is guaranteed to permeate and meanwhile the soil is prevented from leaking downwards. The leaked water is directly converged into the shell water storage tank 5, the bottom of the shell water storage tank 5 is designed to be inclined, and the collected water energy is guaranteed to be concentrated on one side so as to be conveniently sucked by a water pump.

The upper edge of the inner container 8 is fixed with the inner container 2, the inner container 2 is preferably made of Teflon plastic, the rotation smoothness is guaranteed, the outer ring 1 is provided with a gear ring, the inner container 8 can be driven by a motor 3 fixed on the outer wall of the inner container to rotate, the motor 3 is preferably a direct-current speed reduction motor, the uniform illumination in all directions can be guaranteed, and the effect of rotary display can be achieved.

The inner container 8 part also comprises a controller mainboard, a power supply module, a liquid level sensor 6 probe, a circulating spray pipe, a spray water pump, an electrolyte concentration sensor, a liquid fertilizer storage tank and a micro peristaltic pump.

Wherein controller mainboard, water pump are settled in the equipment box 4 of 8 sides of inner bag, and three level sensor 6 probes are arranged at 8 internal part three-layers of inner bag, fix on the inner wall to wire through having the protective sheath links to each other with the controller mainboard, and the delivery port of water pump is connected to circulation shower one end, and the other end passes inner bag 8 and upwards extends to inside the flowerpot. The electrolyte concentration sensor is disposed in a recessed portion of the bottom of the housing water reservoir 5, and can detect only a small amount of water. The main components of the fertilizer are ammonium phosphate and sylvite, ions are formed after the fertilizer is dissolved in water, so that the conductivity of the water is changed, an electrolyte concentration sensor works on the basis of the principle, the concentration of nitrogen, phosphorus and sylvite nutrients in the soil is estimated by measuring the conductivity of the water flowing through the soil, when the concentration of the soil nutrients is found to be lower than a certain threshold value, a controller starts a peristaltic pump, a certain amount of liquid fertilizer is pumped into a water storage tank of a shell through a hose, and prompt information is sent to a mobile phone of a user through a port of the Internet of things.

The adopted liquid level sensors 6 are arranged outside the inner container in three layers, are respectively marked as a high-level sensor, a normal-level sensor and a low-level sensor from top to bottom and are used for measuring the height of the liquid level in the water storage tank of the shell. When the high water level sensor detects the liquid level, the water level sensor indicates that the water is excessively added, the controller sends information to a user for alarming, when the water level is between the high water level and the low water level, the controller starts the water pump to pump the water in the water storage tank 5 of the shell, and the water is sent to the upper part of the soil through the circulating spray pipe for circulating water supplement. When the liquid level is lower than the position of the low water level sensor, the controller sends a water adding prompt to the user. A filter screen is arranged at one end of a water inlet of the water pump, so that foreign matters such as gravel, plant roots and the like are prevented from entering the water pump to cause damage. The whole intelligent system realizes an automatic cultivation system of dry and wet partition, dynamic water circulation and nutrient supply of plants, saves water, protects environment, and is beneficial to plant root system moistening and ventilation and nutrient absorption.
