Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a multifunctional potting material having an automatic water supply function according to the humidity of the soil,

The present invention relates to a multifunctional flowerpot, in which water is automatically supplied to a flowerpot at the time of necessity, so that even if the user does not specifically manage the water supply point, the plant is grown through automatic water supply, The water supply point of the soil is measured and the set point of supply is changed to automatically check the water supply point in accordance with the water content of the soil and automatically supply the water to the water supply point. It is a technology that makes the growth of plants more smooth and vigorous by supplying water at the right time.

In the present invention, all the plants raised in the home are raised in soil in a separate pot.

The pollen used in this process is a container of various sizes open at the top, and the inside is filled with soil suitable for the plant, and in this state, the root of the plant is raised in the state of being buried in the soil of the pollen.

This general pot is provided at a specific point. In this state, the user must supply water to the pot soil at a certain date interval according to the type of the plant, so that the plant can grow smoothly, Far too often or too often, the plant may die.

However, it is often difficult for a typical user to memorize the water supply interval of the plant.

In particular, when a user misses an excessive water supply due to travel, the plant often dies.

In addition to these problems, the optimum water supply time interval varies depending on the type of plants. In particular, when the weather is very dry and covered, if water is supplied more frequently than the optimum water supply time, Water should be supplied at intervals longer than the supply point.

Therefore, it is very difficult for the user to supply water at appropriate time points because the time of supplying water according to the weather is different from time to time as well as the type of each plant.

In recent years, a structure has been proposed in which a separate water tank is connected to each structure and a pollen side so that water in the water tank is automatically supplied to the pollen at a predetermined time by a predetermined timer.

However, because the prior art is provided with water at all times at all times, if the temperature continues to be above the reference temperature and the dry weather lasts, or if the temperature is low and the humidity is high, Unless water supply interval is adjusted, water supply is supplied only for the first set time interval irrespective of the weather, so that the water supply interval can not be actively adjusted according to the weather.

Therefore, when the average weather and other abnormal weather persist, even if the water supply is progressed every predetermined time, the growth of the plant is not smooth.

The present invention has been proposed to solve the problems of the conventional flower pot,

First, water can be automatically supplied to the pollen basically every set time so that the plant can grow smoothly even if the user does not directly check the water supply point.

Second, if the amount of water contained in the soil changes abnormally due to a change in weather while the water is being supplied at the set time, the supply point of water is automatically adjusted according to the humidity of the soil, As water is supplied,

By ensuring that the soil of the pot is always at an appropriate level regardless of the weather, the growth of plants can be made more smooth and active.

Thirdly, if the water content of soil of the pot is checked at any time and the water supply time point is to be changed, the user is informed in advance of the change of the water supply point according to a notification in advance, .

When the lower end portion is pulled downward, the stem ends of the plant are bundled and fixed in the circumferential direction, To prevent the folding phenomenon and induce normal growth Is variable-length growth induction bars, connected to the control unit, and is characterized in that the guide device is configured to deliver a tone signal when the moisture of the soil passes through the humidity sensor with a non-normal to the outside by radiating to the outside.

According to the present invention,

First, basically, usually, the pump and the solenoid valve are operated at the time interval set by the timer, and the water in the water tank is automatically sprayed to the soil in the pot through the water supply pipe, so even if the user does not supply water directly, Level of water is supplied so that the plant grows normally.

Second, if the humidity is abnormally lowered due to the change of weather while automatically supplying water at the set time through the above structure, even if the water supply time set by the timer has not yet reached, the humidity sensor senses So that the pump and the solenoid valve operate immediately irrespective of the water supply time point set by the timer, so that water is supplied directly to the soil,

On the other hand, if the humidity of the soil in the pot is abnormally high even if the water supply time set by the timer is reached, the humidity sensor senses it and cuts off the water supply artificially so that the soil in the pot is always maintained at a proper humidity, It is possible to grow smoothly.

Thirdly, when the moisture of the polluted soil detected through the moisture sensor is abnormal, the user can recognize the moisture in the form of a sound signal or the like through the guide device, so that the user can manage the water normally .

In this state, the water tank 4 and the pollen body 1 are connected to each other through a separate water circulation induction pipe 8, and the water circulation induction pipe 8 is supplied to the soil 21 of the pollen body 1 The water that has passed through the drain port 3 is introduced again into the water tank 4,

And the lower end portion thereof is connected to the water circulation port 7 of the water tank 4 in a state of a simple hose shape and considerably connected to the drain port 3 of the potted plant body 1, Are connected to each other through a water circulation inducing pipe (8).

The water supply pipe 9 is provided with a function of causing the water discharged through the water outlet 6 of the water tank 4 to be finally directed toward the pollen body 1 and discharged to the earth 21 in the pollen body 1 And a function of installing the variable-length growth-inducing bar 20 to be described later.

The water supply pipe 9 has a pipe structure of a simple hollow tube type and is extended in a state of being connected to the water discharge port 6 of the water tank 4 upwardly and then bent in the lateral direction again, 1).

At this time, the water supply pipe 9 is formed at the middle point of the vertical section of the water supply pipe 9 in the vertical direction and the water supply pipe 9 is connected to the tensile and contractible structure of the water pipe 25 So that the vertical height can be adjusted.

In this state, on the lower circumferential surface of the section of the water supply pipe 9 across the upper part of the flowerpot body 1, water injection nozzles 10 are formed at intervals along the longitudinal direction.

The water discharged from the water tank 4 and moved along the water supply pipe 9 can be sprayed toward the soil in the pollen main body 1 through the respective water spray nozzles 10. [

The pump 11 is for forcibly discharging the water in the water tank 4 to the outside and guiding the water to be discharged smoothly toward the pollen body 1 through the water supply pipe 9. The general small pump 11 is used And the water pumping port is connected to the water discharge port (6) of the water tank (4) in a state where it is disposed in the water in the water tank (4), the water pumped by the operation of the pump immediately flows through the water discharge port And can be moved toward the flowerpot body 1 along the water supply pipe 9.

For reference, since the known product can be applied to the pump 11, further detailed description will be omitted.

In this state, the water supply pipe 9 is provided with the solenoid valve 12.

The solenoid valve 12 selectively opens and closes the inside of the water supply pipe 9 to control whether water in the water tank 4 is discharged toward the pollen main body 1.

The solenoid valve 12 is connected to a point near the water outlet 6 of the water tank 4 of the water supply pipe 9 and operates according to an electric control signal to be described later to selectively open and close the inside of the point , Whether or not water in the water tank 4 is supplied to the flowerpot body 1 depending on whether the electromagnetic valve 12 is opened or closed is determined.

At this time, the solenoid valve 12 is operated by the control unit 15, which will be described later, when the pump 11 is operated and closed when the pump is not operated.

In this state, a timer 13 is installed on one side of the pollen main body 1.

The timer 13 is for providing a supply signal of water in the water tank 4 at a point in time through setting a water supply interval suitable for the plant in normal times. The timer 13 is a general electronic timer type, And the user sets the water supply interval suitable for the plant and outputs an electric signal every time it is determined to operate the solenoid valve 12 and the pump 11 through the control unit 15 described later.

For reference, since the timer 13 can adopt a structure of a known type, a further description of the time setting method and the like will be omitted.

In this state, the pollen main body 1 is provided with the humidity sensor 14.

The humidity sensor 14 checks the water content contained in the soil in the pot body 1, that is, the humidity of the soil. If the humidity is abnormal, the humidity sensor 14 measures the moisture content of the soil, It plays a role in determining the timing of water supply arbitrarily according to the humidity condition of the soil.

The humidity sensing sensor 14 has an electronic humidity sensing structure. The humidity sensing sensor 14 has a plurality of metal sensing pieces 23 formed on the surface thereof with a space interposed therebetween in contact with the inside of the soil to check the moisture content of the internal soil Structure.

At this time, the humidity sensor 14 is positioned at an intermediate point in the soil, so that when the water is supplied to the soil, the moisture sensor 14 is not brought into direct contact with the water as much as possible, so that the humidity of the soil itself can be accurately checked.

In addition, since the humidity sensor 14 is disposed at various points with intervals in the soil, the humidity of the entire soil can be accurately checked.

The timer 13, the humidity sensor 14, the solenoid valve 12, and the pump 11 described above are connected to the controller 15 at the same time to control their operation.

The control unit 15 receives a signal generated by the timer 13 or the humidity sensor 14 and controls the operation of the electromagnetic valve 12 and the pump 11 accordingly. and is placed in a state of being hermetically sealed in a separate case through the case body 1.

The control unit 15 is electrically connected to the timer 13, the humidity sensor 14, the solenoid valve 12 and the pump 11 so as to normally receive a water supply timing signal from the timer 13, (12) and the pump (11) to control the operation and stop of the electromagnetic valve (12) and the pump (11).

When the humidity abnormality signal is received by the humidity sensor 14, the operation of the solenoid valve 12 and the pump 11 is arbitrarily controlled irrespective of the time point of supplying the water by the timer.

The guide portion 16 is connected to the control portion 15.

The guide unit 16 is configured such that the humidity of the soil in the pollen body 1 is unusual by the humidity sensor 14 so that the water must be immediately supplied irrespective of the water supply time set by the timer 13, In order to allow the user to recognize the information, the user is required to recognize the information. In the present invention,

And when the abnormal humidity sensed by the humidity sensor 14 is detected, it is indicated by a sound signal and guided.

In the present invention, the power supply necessary for the operation of the controller 15, the humidity sensor 14, the timer 13, the solenoid valve 12, the pump 11, and the guide unit 16 is supplied with external power, And is supplied through a separate solar module 17.

The solar module 17 collects the sunlight continuously and converts it into electric energy as described above so that the controller 15 and the humidity sensor 14, the timer 13, the solenoid valve 12, and the pump 11), and the electric power supply unit

The solar collector plate 16 is attached to the surface of the pollen main body 1 or the water tank 4 to constantly collect sunlight in the daytime and the energy conversion unit 19 such as a storage battery is connected to the solar collector plate 16, The timer 13, the solenoid valve 12, the pump 11, and the control unit 15, the humidity sensor 14, the timer 13, the solenoid valve 12, And is continuously supplied to the guide portion 16.

In other words, in general, pollen is basically provided at a point where sunlight is smoothly irradiated in a normal daytime for smooth growth of plants, so that sufficient solar energy can be obtained when the solar collector plate 16 is installed.

Separately, a variable-length growth induction bar 20 is installed in the water supply pipe 9.

The variable-length growth induction bar 20 serves as a support for preventing the stem from bending or bending in the process of growing the plant, and is generally bar shaped as shown in Figs. 1 and 3 And has a telescopic structure so that the length can be adjusted.

The variable length growth induction bar 20 is formed such that the upper end portion thereof protrudes downward in a state where the upper end portion is connected to each water spraying nozzle 10 between the water injection nozzles 10, and in this state, , And extends to a length such that the lower end portion thereof is seated on the upper surface of the potted soil when extending downward.

In this state, the stem of the plant is bundled with a separate wire or the like and fixed to the variable growth induction bar 20, so that the stem is supported by the variable growth induction bar 20 in the process of growing the stem of the plant, Or bending phenomenon is prevented, so that it can grow straight.

In the case of a plant of this kind that is to be supported by a separate support in the course of its growth, it is not necessary to have a separate support rod and be placed in the soil, It is possible to demonstrate the role of the support rod through the adjustment of the length.

Hereinafter, the use process of the present invention will be described.

The timer 13 sets an electrical signal to the control unit 15 when the water supply time set in advance through the timer 13 is reached in a normal normal situation, that is, when the humidity inside the soil 21 in the pollen main body 1 is normal. And the control unit 15 operates the pump 11 in the water tank 4 and opens the solenoid valve 12 through the operation.

The water in the water tank 4 is moved along the water supply pipe 9 by the earth output of the pump 11 and is sprayed onto the upper surface of the soil in the pot body 1 through the respective water spray nozzles 10 Normal water supply is achieved.

If the humidity of the soil 21 in the pollen main body 1 is abnormally low and the humidity is extremely high and the humidity is low, the humidity sensor 14 senses the humidity, and at the same time, The control unit 15 forcibly supplies the water by operating the pump 11 and the solenoid valve 12 even if the water supply timing set by the transfer bar timer 13 is not reached, To be normal.

On the contrary, when the humidity of the soil 21 in the pollen main body 1 is abnormally high, such as the rainy season, when the humidity is very high, the humidity sensor 14 detects The controller 15 senses the humidity and transmits the signal to the controller 15 so that the controller 15 forcibly cuts off the operation of the pump 11 and the solenoid valve 12 to prevent water from being supplied, So that the humidity of the soil in the pollen body (1) is not excessively increased.

The humidity of the soil 21 in the pot body 1 is abnormal through the humidity sensor 14 and the guide unit changes the water supply point set by the timer 13, The user can recognize the soil moisture condition of the pot.

As described above, according to the present invention, the humidity of the soil in the pot body 1 is continuously checked through the humidity sensor 14 and the water supply time point of the pot is freely changed on the basis of the humidity, And thus the plants can be grown smoothly.

In addition, if it is necessary to provide a separate support for preventing bending or bending of the stem 24 during the growing process depending on the type of the plant, as shown in FIG. 3, the variable length growth induction provided in the water supply pipe 9 The stem of the plant 22 is bundled and supported by the variable-length growth induction bar 20 after the bar 20 is pulled down, so that the stem can grow and the phenomenon of bending or the like can be prevented.

The supplied water is mostly absorbed by the water and the unabsorbed water passes through the soil and then flows through the drain port 3 and then flows into the water tank 4 through the water circulation induction pipe 8, And is supplied again to the pollen body through the water supply pipe 9 again.
