Let technology become a mini landscape - micro garden P1 Charging package evaluation

General introduction:

What kind of sparks will be created when technology meets green! Office workers spend most of the day in the office. Putting a pot of small potted plants on their desks can not only beautify the environment, but also create a bright and warm working atmosphere. When potted plants are added with scientific and technological elements, a more novel and magical "micro garden" is created. This is a group of decorative potted plants that can be integrated into a variety of living environments, which can bring you a wonderful science trip and more fun for life.

"Unpacking and Introduction"

▲ Front view of P1 package of micro garden

▲ Back view of P1 package of micro garden

The packaging box of the P1 charging set of the micro garden is packed with standard hard white board paper. The front is the outline of the P1 charging set of the micro garden (of course, there is a big Lei Feng trial label). The back is the publicity of the P1 charging set of the micro garden, which includes three important information:

① Introduction: introduce the function of fresh potted plants on the desktop, which can also charge mobile phones;

② Product upgrade: directly point to the official website to facilitate the purchase of other functional components and create the effect of LEGO building blocks;

③ Plant maintenance: plant purchase and maintenance information.

The three QR codes at the bottom of the lower right corner are the official WeChat, product introduction videos and the homepage of WeGarden, corresponding to the three important information mentioned above.

The accessories of the P1 charging kit for the micro garden include a power adapter, a power cord, a base, and a potted box (including a mudguard). I searched the whole box without any paper document or instructions. However, there are a full set of equipment instructions and plant maintenance instructions on the official account of the micro garden.

    Attached is a long and luxuriant netted grass with a small label to introduce it (extremely easy to raise, lazy people like me have no pressure).

Equipment Introduction

▲ P1 foundation drawing of micro garden

The length and width of P1 base of micro garden are both 85mm and 60mm high. It is composed of two layers of ABS plastic. The upper part is a milky white reservoir with a very smooth surface (which is almost a fingerprint collector), and is equipped with water guide strips and waterproof walls. The lower part is a green transparent plastic seat that can be slightly moved up and down, and is equipped with two leakages. Excess water can flow out through the leakages. The internal circuit board can be seen through the seat.

The pressure sensing power switch introduced in the video is controlled by three springs in the base. When there is nothing above the base, three springs arranged in equilateral triangles provide sufficient support for the upper part. When a potted plant or mobile phone is placed, the spring is compressed by gravity, so that the white contact button at the center of the base is pressed and stressed, forming a connected state, and the device can be charged. A very clever design!

▲ Micro garden P1 charging kit USB interface diagram

The micro garden provides four USB interfaces, which can charge four electronic devices at the same time. It is worth mentioning that the four USB interfaces can independently and intelligently identify the device, and then automatically adjust the output current and voltage to a value suitable for the charging of the device.

▲ Micro garden P1 potted box

The length and width of the potted box are 85 mm, and the height is 100 mm. The material is the same as the upper part of the base. There are material labels and official websites at the bottom of the box. The most important "PATENT PROTECTION" box is a national patent product. Another accessory of the box is a green mudguard with a diameter of 55mm and a thickness of 5mm. It is placed at the bottom of the potted box to remove water and ventilate. Note that there is a dip angle around the top of the box, which plays a role in preventing water overflow when watering at ordinary times.

▲ Micro garden P1 power adapter and power cord

The power adapter and power cord are milky white. All the technical information is marked on the back of the adapter, including 36W power, 100V-240V broadband input voltage. When you go abroad, you can use it without pressure just by replacing the power cord (the product should be sold all over the world). The output voltage is 12V, the current is 3A and other important technical information. Of course, there is also the important mark Made in China at the bottom!

Actual Use

[Complete machine combination]

▲ Operation Instructions of Micro Garden P1

Assemble the P1 charging kit of the micro garden according to the instructions of the official account. The operation is very simple.

▲ Notes on maintenance of checkered grass

    Input plant conservation in the WeChat official account, and there will be various key points of plant conservation in the seven categories, including watering, sunshine, daily conservation and nursing experience. Of course, my reticulum is also among them.

[Actual Use]

Now there are more and more intelligent devices, and the battery specifications are different. Therefore, there are different charging voltages and currents. If the charging current is too high or too low, the service life of the battery will be shortened. This is the intelligent recognition system of the micro garden. IPAD1 and IPHONE4S are selected for simultaneous test. Their charging currents are respectively: IPAD charger 5V 2.1A, IPHONE4S charger 5V 1A.

    When the micro garden is connected to the power supply, two green indicator lights will light up on the base, which has a sense of technology. In the experiment, the Micro Garden P1 charging kit can intelligently adjust the current of the device to meet the use of different charging devices. IPAD charging voltage is 5V, current is 1.47A, 4S charging voltage is 5V, current is 0.83A. During the charging process, the automatic power-off function can be realized by removing the potted plants on the top, which is convenient and fast. But pay attention to that there will be water drops after too much watering.

The above is the use of the P1 charging kit for Micro Garden. Unfortunately, only the P1 kit is available for trial use. If there are other components, you can enjoy the fun of free combination of Lego bricks.

Summary Evaluation

The P1 charging set of micro garden makes me feel that the elements of technology can also be integrated into everyday life. The beautiful appearance is not only a simple basin but also a beautiful decoration. A small pot of green may change your mood of the day. When technology meets green, "micro garden" comes into being.
