Description

AUTOMATIC POT IRRIGATION SYSTEM FOR DOMESTIC USE VIA WIRELESS NETWORK

Technical Field:

This invention relates to an automatic pot irrigation system for domestic use over a wireless network for the maintenance and irrigation of the grown plants and flowers by the mobile device.

State of the Art:

In our daily life, especially during the pandemic period, pot plant growers have increased. With this increasing plant cultivation, it has become difficult to deal with after the pandemic process. This situation has caused various disadvantages with the increasing pace of work in the cities after the pandemic. The increase in the workload causes the plants and flowers grown to disappear due to the delay of maintenance and irrigation.

In the Utility Model application numbered TR200402334, “Automatic Irrigation Pot with Electronic Timer Circuit, Water Reservoir and Water Tank” is explained. This invention homes, workplaces, places etc. it makes it significantly easier to water the plants and flowers that are grown in and how much water your flower to be given at what time what day electronic timer to automatically switch, automatic watering pots with water tank and the water tank consists of.

In the invention described above, a product proposal is presented for irrigating potted plants. However, in the current system, irrigation is done by a cable system. This presents an inadequate system in terms of convenience and remote operation. As a result, there is a need for a new, easy-to-use, low-cost, autonomous technology that can overcome the disadvantages mentioned above, that can perform wireless irrigation, that includes an application installed on a mobile device.

Description of the Invention:

This invention is an automatic pot irrigation system for domestic use over a wireless network, and its feature is; It is a new, easy-to-use, low-cost, autonomous technology that can do wireless irrigation, includes an application installed on a mobile device.

The invention in order to realize all the objectives mentioned above and which will emerge from the detailed description below; It is a pot irrigation system controlled from the internet by connecting to the home Wi-Fi internet network over ethemet or Wi-Fi.

The device of the inventive system, which is controlled from the internet, can be controlled with an android or iOS application. On this application, the amount of water in the water tank, the control of the automation irrigation system, the instant temperature and humidity of the house can be read over the phone software.

By controlling the Wi-Fi etc. wireless network connection in the invention, the water information output can be calculated separately for different plants by the software it contains. In this system, by using image processing technology, conditions such as wilting of the leaves of the plant are also detected. With the detection of this situation, extra water or supplementary medicine is applied.

The structural and characteristic features and all advantages of the product subject to the invention will be understood more clearly thanks to the figures given below and the detailed explanation written by making reference to these figures, and therefore the evaluation should be made by taking these figures and detailed explanation into consideration. Description of the Figures:

The invention will be described with reference to the accompanying figures, so that the features of the invention will be more clearly understood and appreciated, but the purpose of this is not to limit the invention to these certain regulations. On the contrary, it is intended to cover all alternatives, changes and equivalences that can be included in the area of the invention defined by the accompanying claims. The details shown should be understood that they are shown only for the purpose of describing the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are presented in order to provide the most convenient and easily understandable description of both the shaping of methods and the rules and conceptual features of the invention. In these drawings.
