Title: Smart Basket

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to a smart basket, and more particularly to a smart basket able to provide plants three-dimensional supplemental light and automatically supply water and nutrients in an intelligent manner. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     A flower basket is a basket used for placement of flowers or serving as a container for a flower arrangement. It is one of the most commonly used forms of floral decorations for social and ceremonial occasions, such as opening ceremony, celebrating, welcoming, meeting, birthday, wedding and funeral occasions. Some consumers purchase flower baskets for growing beautiful flowers. However, the indoor light is insufficient for the flowers, so the flowers cannot get enough water and nutrients. Using tap water not only causes a water waste but also affects the growth of plants. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The primary object of the present invention is to provide a smart basket able to provide plants three-dimensional supplemental light and automatically supply water and nutrients in an intelligent manner so as to solve the problems of the prior art. 
     In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the smart basket of the present invention comprises a basket body and a handle. The handle is located above the basket body. Two ends of the handle are fixedly connected to the basket body. An outer side of the handle is provided with a plant light and a manual switch. The plant light is connected with the manual switch through a conducting wire. The plant light is further connected with an interior of the basket body through the conducting wire. An inner side of the basket body is provided with a water hopper, a plastic inner tray, and an atomizer. A bottom edge of the plastic inner tray is connected to the basket body. An inner side of the plastic inner tray is provided with a water storage tank. An upper surface of the plastic inner tray is provided with collection grooves. The collection grooves are evenly arranged on the upper surface of the plastic inner tray. The upper surface of the plastic inner tray is fixedly connected with the water hopper. A side wall of the water hopper is fixedly connected with an inner wall of the plastic inner tray. A bottom of the water hopper is provided with at least one water injection hole. One side of the water hopper is provided with the atomizer. An outer side of the atomizer is fixedly connected with the plastic inner tray. A bottom end of the atomizer is inserted into an interior of the water storage tank. The interior of the water storage tank is stored with water and nutrients. A water level sensor and a Bluetooth module are mounted on an inner side wall of the water storage tank. The water level sensor is electrically connected with the Bluetooth module. 
     Preferably, the water injection hole is located over the water storage tank. 
     Preferably, the manual switch is mounted at the junction of the handle and the basket body. 
     Preferably, the plant light adopts an LED light source. 
     Preferably, the collection grooves are radially disposed and located under the atomizer. 
     Compared to the prior art, the present invention has the beneficial effects described below. The LED plant light of the smart basket of the present invention provides the plant in the basket three-dimensional supplemental light, such that the plant can absorb light energy more evenly, meanwhile, the big data in the background can adjust the length of time of the supplemental light according to different plants. The atomizer supplies water to the root of the plant precisely according to the need of the plant&#39;s different growth cycle based on the big data. The water level sensor inside the water storage tank cooperates with the Bluetooth module to monitor the amount of the water in the water storage tank, and the data can be transmitted to the user via Bluetooth to improve the user&#39;s feeling.

     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
     Advantages and features of the inventive concept and methods of accomplishing the same may be understood more readily by reference to the following detailed description of embodiments and the accompanying drawings. The inventive concept may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. It will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the following claims and their equivalents. 
     Referring to  FIG. 1  to  FIG. 4 , a smart basket in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention comprises a basket body  1  and a handle  2 . The handle  2  is located above the basket body  1 . Two ends of the handle  2  are fixedly connected to the basket body  1 . An outer side of the handle  2  is provided with a plant light  3  and a manual switch  4 . The manual switch  4  is mounted at the junction of the handle  2  and the basket body  1 . The manual switch  4  is adapted to manually control the power source of the smart basket to be turned on/off. The plant light  3  is connected with the manual switch  4  through a conducting wire. The plant light  3  adopts an LED light source. The plant light  3  in the form of an LED light source is configured to provide the plant in the basket three-dimensional supplemental light, such that the plant can absorb light energy more evenly. The big data in the background can adjust the length of time of the supplemental light according to different plants. The plant light  3  is further connected with the interior of the basket body  1  through the conducting wire. An inner side of the basket body  1  is provided with a water hopper  5 , a plastic inner tray  6 , and an atomizer  7 . A bottom edge of the plastic inner tray  6  is connected to the basket body  1 . An inner side of the plastic inner tray  6  is provided with a water storage tank  61 . The water storage tank  61  is filled with water and nutrients. An upper surface of the plastic inner tray  6  is provided with collection grooves  62 . The collection grooves  62  are radially disposed and located under the atomizer  7 . The atomizer  7  supplies water to the root of the plant precisely according to the need of the plant&#39;s different growth cycle based on the big data. The collection grooves  62  are evenly arranged on the upper surface of the plastic inner tray  6 . The upper surface of the plastic inner tray  6  is fixedly connected with the water hopper  5 .
