Hereinafter, an internal configuration of a controller for automatic water supply of plants according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 5A and 5B, and a switch installed inside the controller for automatic water supply of plants is described with reference to FIG. 6.

Figure 5a is an internal block diagram of the controller main body for automatic water supply according to the invention.

Referring to FIG. 5A, the controller body 210 for automatic automatic water supply includes a constant power input terminal 212a, a constant power output terminal 213a, an optional output terminal 214, a controller 216a, and a switch 218. do. The internal components of the controller are installed on a circuit board, and a circuit is designed in the circuit board to enable the controller according to the present invention to transfer organic signals between the components.

The constant power input terminal 212a is a terminal that receives a constant power from a constant power (commercial AC power), and is electrically connected to the controller 216a and the constant power output terminal 213a.

The constant power output terminal 213a is directly connected to the constant power input terminal 212a. Therefore, since the constant power output terminal 213a is always electrically connected to the constant power input terminal 212a without being controlled by the controller 216a, the input constant power is always output through the constant power output terminal 213a. do.

On the other hand, the optional output terminal 214 is connected to the controller 216a and electrically connected to or short-circuited with the constant power input terminal 212a under the control of the controller 216a. Therefore, when the constant power input terminal 212a and the optional output terminal 214 are electrically connected, the constant power is output through the optional output terminal 214, but the constant power input terminal 212a and the optional output terminal 214 are When electrically shorted, the continuous power is not output at all through the optional output terminal 214.

The controller 216a may be a microcomputer, and controls the electrical connection and / or short-circuit time of the constant power input terminal 212a and the optional output terminal 214, and other components perform their respective functions. To control it. Therefore, the regular power output cycle and the output duration of the selective output terminal 214 are controlled by the controller 216a. That is, the controller 216a controls the optional output terminal 214 to connect and short-circuit the continuous power input terminal 212a and the optional output terminal 214 by repeating the predetermined period periodically for a predetermined time interval.

The controller 216a may control the time for electrically connecting and short-circuiting the constant power input terminal 212a and the optional output terminal 214 because the controller 216a is connected to the switch 218.

The switch 218 may be a digital switch or an analog switch. For example, the switch 218 may include two rotary switches and a dip switch. The configuration of such a switch will be described later.

Referring to FIG. 5B, the controller body 210 for automatic plant water supply includes a constant power input terminal 212b, a constant power output terminal 213b, an optional output terminal 214, a controller 216b, and a switch 218. do. Unlike FIG. 5A, the constant power output terminal 213b is not directly connected to the constant power input terminal 212b but is indirectly connected through the controller 216b. Therefore, the controller 216b electrically connects the constant power input terminal 212b and the optional output terminal 214 periodically for a predetermined time, while the constant power input terminal 212b and the constant power output terminal 213b are It controls the electrical connection at all times. The remaining components are the same as those described with reference to FIG. 5A and will be omitted.

Next, a switch of the controller for automatic plant water supply will be described with reference to FIG. 6. The switch 218 may be a digital switch, but in consideration of manufacturing cost and contact with water, it may be preferable to use an analog switch. 6 is a view showing an embodiment of a switch of the controller for automatic plant water supply according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, the switch is composed of three types of switches: a first switch (SW1) 218a, a second switch (SW2) 218b, and a third switch (SW3) 218c.

The second switch 218b and the third switch 218c are rotary switches, the second switch 218b sets a water supply repetition cycle, and the third switch 218c sets a water supply duration. Such rotary switches 218b and 218c may be rotatable in at least 16 steps. For example, each time the second switch 218b is rotated by one step, the water supply repetition period increases or decreases, and each time the third switch 218c is rotated by one step, the water supply duration increases or decreases.

The first switch 218a is a dip switch, and can be operated in two states, on and off. Various modes can be indicated according to the combination of the dip switches. In the present invention, four modes are sufficient, and therefore, the dip switches 218a are preferable. The dip switch 218a serves to set the water supply period and the water supply duration of the rotary switches 218b and 218c.

When the two dip switches 218a are provided, there are four possible combination modes. In the case of four modes, the water supply cycle and the water supply duration will be exemplarily described with reference to Table 1.

TABLE 1

Mode (M) SW1 (dipswitch) SW2 SW3 One 2 One OFF OFF 12 hours per space 20 seconds per space 2 ON OFF 12 hours per space 4 seconds per space 3 OFF ON 30 minutes per compartment 20 seconds per space 4 ON ON 30 minutes per compartment 4 seconds per space

For example, when the water supply cycle is two days and water is supplied to the plant for 20 seconds at a time of water supply, when the dip switch is set to the first mode state (OFF / OFF state), the first switch 218a is a reference point. In the 4 spaces, the second switch 218b is rotated 1 space at the reference point. In this way, the rotary switches and dip switches can be adjusted appropriately to control the frequency of watering the plant and the amount of time it must be continuously supplied at one time.

The switches 218 are connected to a control unit. Therefore, the controller electrically connects and short-circuits the optional output terminal and the continuous power input terminal according to the time set by the switches. In the above example, the control unit controls the constant power output terminal to be connected to the optional output terminal once every two days, but maintains the connection state for 20 seconds at the time of one connection and short-circuits the connection after 20 seconds.

Adopting the configuration of the controller for automatic plant water supply according to the present invention as described above, it is possible to operate the water supply device without having a battery for power supply, the character output function such as RTC (Real Time Clock) chip and LCD It can automatically set the watering cycle and the watering duration on a single water supply by counting the time from the time the power is supplied without including any parts.
