Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of green plant irrigation, and in particular to a water trough for irrigation of potted flowers and an irrigation system thereof. Background Art

[0002] Potted flowers need to be regularly watered with fertilizer water and nutrient solution during the cultivation process in order to enable them to thrive.

[0003] Tidal irrigation is usually used in the prior art. Tidal irrigation is a water-saving irrigation system designed based on the principle of tidal rise and fall. Before irrigation, a water trough is built on the seedbed. Several planting pots are placed in the water trough through a rack. A water inlet is opened at the bottom of the planting pot. During irrigation, fertilizer water or nutrient solution is injected into the water trough. After the water level in the water trough rises and reaches a suitable liquid level, the fertilizer water or nutrient solution gradually penetrates into the planting pot through the water inlet. During the irrigation process, the fertilizer water or nutrient solution fills the water trough and stays for a certain period of time so that the plant roots can fully absorb the fertilizer water or nutrient solution.

[0004] Due to the large volume of the water tank, when the liquid level is lower than the height of the water inlet of the planting pot or the plant root system reaches saturation, the plant will no longer absorb it and needs to be discharged in time. It is undoubtedly a waste to directly discharge fertilizer water and nutrient solution into the sewer. If you want to use it for irrigation again, you need to readjust the pH value of the fertilizer water and the concentration of various nutrients, and the adjustment equipment is expensive. If the remaining fertilizer water or nutrient solution cannot be discharged in time, it will form a liquid mixed with impurities and bacteria in the water tank after being left for a period of time, which is easy to cause plant root rot if it is used for irrigation again. Summary of the invention

[0005] One of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a water trough for potted flower irrigation, which has the advantages of being able to irrigate plants uniformly and quantitatively in a short time, and when the plant root system reaches a saturated state, there is no remaining fertilizer water and nutrient solution, and no water treatment is required.

[0006] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions: a water trough for potted flower irrigation and an irrigation system thereof, which are used in combination with a special potted flower display rack, the display rack has overlapping edges on both sides, including a trough body and two branch water inlet pipes, the two branch water inlet pipes are relatively fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the trough body, the internal structure of the trough body forms at least one display area, the overlapping edges of the display rack are supported on the branch water inlet pipes on each side, the display rack is embedded in the trough body as a whole, and a plurality of water outlet holes are evenly spaced on the branch water inlet pipes, the water outlet holes are located in the gap between the trough body and the display rack and are arranged toward the bottom of the trough.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, branch water inlet pipes are arranged on both sides of the top of the trough body, and the potted flower display rack is mounted on the branch water inlet pipes by overlapping the edges, so that the display rack is embedded in the trough body. A water outlet hole is opened on the branch water inlet pipe, and fertilizer water or nutrient solution is quantitatively injected into the gap between the display rack and the trough body through the water outlet hole. The fertilizer water and nutrient solution are almost all absorbed by the potted flowers. There is no residue in the trough body after irrigation is completed, thereby eliminating the water treatment work after tidal irrigation.

[0008] The present invention is further configured as follows: three rows of planting troughs are arranged on the display rack, and correspondingly, the internal structure of the trough body forms a display area for placing the three rows of planting troughs.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, mature potted flowers have lush branches and leaves, and potted flowers can be placed only in the planting troughs on both sides of the display rack. The branch water inlet pipes on both sides of the trough body can water the potted flowers on their respective sides at the same time, shortening the irrigation time.

[0010] The present invention is further configured as follows: the branch water inlet pipe is a stainless steel pipe or a PVC pipe.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the stainless steel pipe and the PVC pipe have good tensile and compressive strength, smooth pipe walls and small resistance to the fluid.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: the branch water inlet pipe is a circular pipe or a square pipe.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that: the branch water inlet pipe and the tank body are an integrated structure.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the trough body and the branch water inlet pipe formed by the integrated structure have better stability.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that: the cross section of the slot body is an inverted trapezoid or a rectangle.

[0016] By adopting the above technical method, the trough body is set to an inverted trapezoidal shape or a rectangular shape, so that the branch water inlet pipes can be easily installed on both sides of the top of the trough body.

[0017] The second purpose of the present invention is to provide a potted flower irrigation system, which has the advantage of being able to quantitatively and evenly irrigate potted flowers in a short period of time. After the irrigation is completed, almost no fertilizer water or nutrient solution will remain in the water tank, and there is no need for subsequent water treatment work.

[0018] The above technical purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: a potted flower irrigation system, comprising a potted flower irrigation trough as described in any one of claims 1 to 6, wherein the troughs are arranged in multiple rows at equal intervals, each row has multiple troughs, and the branch water inlet pipes of each row of troughs are connected to each other, and a main water inlet pipe connected to each branch water inlet pipe is arranged on one side in the width direction of the seedling bed.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, fertilizer water or nutrient solution is transported to the branch water inlet pipes of each water tank through the main water inlet pipe. A large number of potted flowers can be quantitatively irrigated at the same time through the branch water inlet pipes. The irrigation time is short, and there is almost no residual fertilizer water or nutrient solution in the water tank after the irrigation is completed, which saves the high cost required for the subsequent water treatment process.

[0020] The present invention is further configured as follows: branch water inlet pipes are provided between the two adjacent rows of water tanks and on the outer sides of the first and last rows of water tanks, the branch water inlet pipes are directly connected to the main water inlet pipes, the tail ends of the branch water inlet pipes extend to the middle position of each row of water tanks, the branch water inlet pipe brackets on the outer sides of the first and last rows of water tanks are connected to the branch water inlet pipes close to their respective sides, and two branches are formed at the tail ends of the branch water inlet pipes between the two adjacent rows of water tanks, and the two branches are connected to the branch water inlet pipes on their respective sides.

[0021] By adopting the above technical scheme, fertilizer water or nutrient solution enters into each branch water inlet pipe from the main water inlet pipe, the branch water inlet pipe is connected with the middle position of each column of branch water inlet pipes, the nutrient solution flows from the middle of each column of branch water inlet pipes to both sides, and is injected into the trough body through the water outlet hole at the same time, so that the irrigation of potted flowers is more uniform without residual watering.

[0022] The present invention is further configured as follows: a water inlet valve is provided on the branch water inlet pipe.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the potted flowers in the water tank connected to the branch water inlet pipe can be selectively irrigated by opening and closing the water inlet valve.

[0024] In summary, the beneficial technical effects of the present invention are:

[0025] 1. By injecting fertilizer water or nutrient solution into the narrow gap between the trough body and the display rack, it can ensure that the potted flowers absorb the fertilizer water or nutrient solution as much as possible, and there is no need to treat the fertilizer water or nutrient solution in the later stage, saving the high cost of water treatment. In addition, the trough body is designed according to the display rack. After the display rack is placed, the gap between the trough body is small. Even if some fertilizer water or nutrient solution remains, it is not enough to affect the next irrigation;

[0026] 2. Fertilizer water or nutrient solution enters each branch water inlet pipe from the main water inlet pipe. Two branches are formed at the tail end of the branch water inlet pipe. Fertilizer water or nutrient solution enters the branch water inlet pipes on each side from the two branches and flows from the middle of the branch water inlet pipes to both sides, thereby irrigating the potted flowers at the same time, achieving short-time and uniform irrigation without irrigation residue.

[0032] Embodiment 1:

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , is a potted flower irrigation water trough disclosed in the present invention, the water trough 1 can be matched with a special potted flower display rack 2, the display rack 2 is mainly used to place planting pots, and the cross section of the display rack 2 can be an inverted trapezoid. The water trough 1 includes a trough body 11, the trough body 11 is in an inverted trapezoidal shape, and its cross-sectional size is slightly larger than the cross-sectional size of the display rack 2. The two sides of the display rack 2 are supported on the trough body 11 by the lap 21. Three rows of planting troughs are arranged on the display rack 2 at equal intervals, and the planting pots are placed in the planting troughs. Accordingly, the bottom end of the trough body 11 protrudes upward to form two protrusions, and the length of the protrusions is the same as the length of the trough body 11. The two protrusions divide the interior of the trough body 11 into three placement areas 13 in the width direction of the trough body 11, so as to adapt to the three rows of planting troughs on the display rack 2. Considering that the mature potted flowers have lush branches and leaves, the branches and leaves of the two adjacent rows of potted flowers are crossed together, which makes watering inconvenient. Therefore, potted flowers are only placed in the planting pots on both sides of the display rack 2.

[0034] Furthermore, the wall thickness of the trough body 11 can be set to between 3 mm and 5 mm, ensuring that the trough body 11 has sufficient weighing capacity and can stably carry the display rack 2 and fertilizer water or nutrient solution during the irrigation process. The trough width at the bottom of each display area 13 is at least 90 mm, leaving enough growth space for potted flowers and preventing the potted flowers in two adjacent rows from being placed too compactly.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , the tops of both sides of the tank body 11 are fixedly installed with branch water inlet pipes 12, which are mainly used to inject fertilizer water or nutrient solution into the tank body 11. The branch water inlet pipes 12 can be stainless steel pipes or PVC pipes. Stainless steel pipes and PVC pipes have good tensile and compressive strength, smooth pipe walls, and small resistance to fluids. Preferably, the branch water inlet pipes 12 are made of PVC pipes. During the production process, the branch water inlet pipes 12 and the tank body 11 are designed as an integrated structure to improve the connection stability between the branch water inlet pipes 12 and the tank body 11. The display rack 2 supports the overlap 21 on the branch water inlet pipes 12, so that the display rack 2 can be integrally embedded in the water tank 1. A plurality of water outlet holes 14 are evenly spaced on the branch water inlet pipe 12, and the water outlet holes 14 are arranged toward the gap between the tank body 11 and the display rack 2.

[0036] The irrigation principle of the present invention is similar to the tidal irrigation principle, except that the present invention adopts a quantitative irrigation method, and the technician can judge the amount of watering required for each potted flower according to the experience of flower cultivation, the habit of flowers and the dryness and wetness of the planting soil. For example, each potted flower needs to be watered with 200g of nutrient solution, and there are 100 potted flowers on the display rack 2. Then it is calculated that the potted flowers on the entire display rack 2 need a total of 20Kg of nutrient solution, and then the 20Kg nutrient solution with a good ratio is injected into the water tank 1 through the water inlet pipe 12. The planting pots in the display rack 2 are placed close to the bottom of the water tank 1, and the nutrient solution injected into the water tank 1 can be directly absorbed by the potted flowers. When the potted flowers reach a saturated state, the nutrient solution at the potted flower can be absorbed by other adjacent plants. Traditional tidal irrigation needs to be injected into the water tank 1 first, and the water level gradually rises until the planting pot is immersed in the nutrient solution, and the potted flowers can begin to absorb the nutrient solution. The nutrient solution remaining below the planting pot needs to be discharged for further processing. Compared with traditional tidal irrigation, the present invention has the advantages of short irrigation time, no residue, and no need for water treatment.

[0037] Embodiment 2:

[0038] Reference Figure 2 The difference from the first embodiment is that the cross-sections of the trough body 11 and the display rack 2 are both rectangular, and the water inlet pipe 12 is a rectangular tube. It should be noted that the shape of the display rack 2 is not specifically limited, and its outer contour can be designed according to the shape of the trough body 11.

[0039] Embodiment three:

[0040] refer to Figure 3 The present invention discloses a potted flower irrigation system, which includes a main water inlet pipe 3 and multiple water tanks 1 in embodiment 1. The multiple water tanks 1 are arranged in order above the seedbed, and the branch water inlet pipes 12 of each row of water tanks 1 are connected to the main water inlet pipe 3.

[0041] Embodiment 4:

[0042] Reference Figure 4 , which is different from the second embodiment, is that there is a gap between two adjacent water troughs 1, the main water inlet pipe 3 is located on one side in the width direction of the seedling bed, and a water valve 31 is provided on the main water inlet pipe 3. Branch water inlet pipes 4 are provided between two adjacent water troughs and on the outsides of the first and last rows of water troughs 1, one end of which is connected to the main water inlet pipe 3, and the branch water inlet pipe 4 is formed with two branches at the middle position in the length direction of each row of water troughs 1, and the two branches are respectively connected to the branch water inlet pipes 12 on the trough body 11 on one side of each side.

[0043] Furthermore, a water inlet valve 41 is provided on the branch water inlet pipe 4, and the staff can judge whether the potted flowers on both sides of the branch water inlet pipe 4 need irrigation according to the dryness and wetness of the planting soil. When the potted flowers on both sides of the branch water inlet pipe 4 need irrigation, the water inlet valve 41 can be opened to supplement the potted flowers on both sides with nutrient solution or fertilizer water through the branch water inlet pipe 4 to ensure the healthy growth of the butterfly blue.

[0044] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: before irrigation, the irrigation amount required for the potted flowers in the entire system is calculated, and then the water valve 31 is opened, and the well-proportioned fertilizer water or nutrient solution is first introduced into the main water inlet pipe 3, and then flows from the main water inlet pipe 3 to the branch water inlet pipes 4 on both sides, and then enters the branch water inlet pipes 12 on each side through the branches at the ends of the branch water inlet pipes 4, and then flows from the middle of the branch water inlet pipes 12 to both sides of the length direction of the trough body 11. During the flow of the nutrient solution or fertilizer water in the branch water inlet pipes 12, it flows into the water trough 1 through the water outlet. The entire irrigation process takes a short time, and the nutrient solution or fertilizer water can be completely absorbed by the potted flowers.

[0045] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
