[0044] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but it is not used as a basis for any limitation to the invention.
[0045] Embodiment 1: This embodiment is based on the attached Figure 1-14 For reference, the small-flow emitter flow test platform described includes a water source system, a constant-pressure water supply system, a water conveyance pipeline system, a support platform, a flow monitoring system, and a drainage and water collection circulation system. The water source system continuously supplies water to the constant-pressure water supply system. The constant-pressure water supply system can automatically adjust the constant-pressure water head and supply water to the water conveyance pipeline system for flow tests at different constant-pressure water heads; the support platform provides support and fixation for the constant-pressure water supply system and the water conveyance pipeline system, ensuring the fixation and stability of the system and reducing the flow test error; the flow monitoring system realizes remote monitoring, control, and analysis of the small-flow emitter flow test through real-time data acquisition, transmission, and control of the constant-pressure water supply system, the water conveyance pipeline system, and the drainage and water collection circulation system.
[0046] The water source system mainly includes a water tank 2, a low-lift pump, and a water conveyance hose 2-2. The low-lift pump provides a stable small flow rate and stably conveys water to the constant-pressure water supply system through the water conveyance hose 2-2. The low-lift pump is a floating low-lift pump, which can realize automatic small-flow water supply and automatic protection of the pump at the same time. When the water level in the water tank is lower than the safe position, the pump stops working.
[0047] The water tank 2 can be designed into shapes such as rectangular and circular according to specific environments and requirements, and the materials can be transparent organic glass, plastic, stainless steel, iron, PE, concrete, etc.
[0048] The low-lift water pump can be selected from different manufacturers, flow rates, lift heights, etc. according to specific requirements. A floating low-lift water pump or a low-lift water pump can be selected according to needs. In this embodiment, the pool floating low-lift water pump 2-1 is made of transparent plexiglass, which is beautiful, easy to observe and record. The water delivery hose is a PVC hose. The power cord 2-3 of the pool floating low-lift water pump is connected to the power supply 2-4 arranged on the test bench 1.
[0049] The main body of the constant pressure water supply system is a constant pressure water storage tank 3. The bottom of the constant pressure water storage tank 3 is connected to the water delivery pipeline system through the water inlet 3-1 of the flow measurement pipeline. A porous energy dissipation surface 3-2 is arranged in the constant pressure water storage tank 3. The water inlet 3-1 of the flow measurement pipeline and the water outlet of the water delivery hose 2-2 are respectively located on both sides of the porous energy dissipation surface 3-2. The porous energy dissipation surface 3-2 is used to buffer the water flow entering the water storage tank, avoiding the potential energy of the water flow input being converted into kinetic energy and having an adverse impact on the test accuracy.
[0050] The constant-pressure water storage tank 3 is provided with a water head control mechanism capable of achieving high-precision water head control, which mainly includes an adjusting piece 3-8, a transmission device 3-4 and a drain pipe 3-6. On the fixed side wall 3-3 of the constant-pressure water storage tank 3 close to the pool 2, two adjusting grooves extending along the height of the water tank are opened, and the two adjusting grooves are respectively located on the left and right sides of the fixed side wall 3-3. Bull's-eye bearings are embedded on the groove walls of the two adjusting grooves. The left adjusting groove extends upward from the bottom of the water storage tank to half of the height of the water storage tank, and the right adjusting groove extends from half of the height of the water storage tank to the top of the water storage tank; the adjusting piece is of a double-layer structure, and the two sides of the adjusting piece are provided with support surfaces that can contact the bull's-eye bearings. The cross-section at the support surface is in the shape of an I, and the part without the support surface has a gap capable of accommodating the fixed side wall. The adjusting piece slides up and down along the adjusting groove by cooperating with the bull's-eye bearing, and the width of the adjusting piece is greater than the width of the corresponding adjusting groove. A rubber water stop strip is used to form a seal between the adjusting piece and the fixed side wall; an opening is provided on the adjusting piece 3-8 and the drain pipe 3-6 is installed to drain the excess water in the constant-pressure water storage tank 3 into the pool 2. During the up and down sliding process of the left adjusting piece 3-8-1, the moving range of the opening position is (0-0.5)H, where H is the height of the constant-pressure water storage tank. Therefore, the water level in the tank can be controlled to change within (0-0.5)H; during the up and down sliding process of the right adjusting piece 3-8-2, the moving range of the opening position on the adjusting piece is (0.5-1)H. Therefore, the water level in the tank can be controlled to change within (0.5-1)H. The up and down sliding of the adjusting piece is controlled by the transmission device 3-4. The transmission device 3-4 corresponding to the left adjusting piece 3-8-1 is arranged at the bottom of the constant-pressure water storage tank 3, and the transmission device 3-4 corresponding to the right adjusting piece 3-8-2 is arranged at the top of the constant-pressure water storage tank 3. The transmission device 3-4 has a housing, and a millimeter-level threaded micro rod 3-10 and a driving motor for driving the threaded micro rod 3-10 to rotate are rotatably arranged inside. The nut on the threaded micro rod 3-10 is fixedly connected to the corresponding adjusting piece. During the up and down sliding process of the adjusting piece, the part located outside the constant-pressure water storage tank 3 can enter the housing of the transmission device 3-4.
[0051] In this embodiment, the I-shaped cross-section part of the left adjusting piece 3-8-1 is at the bottom and the part with the gap is at the top, and the I-shaped end face part of the right adjusting piece 3-8-2 is at the top and the part with the gap is at the bottom; the advantage of such a design is that during the up and down sliding process of the adjusting piece, the double-layer structure of the adjusting piece is always hermetically connected to the inner and outer sides of the fixed side wall, avoiding water leakage.
[0052] Furthermore, a notch is provided at the position of the bottom of the constant-pressure water storage tank 3 corresponding to the left adjusting groove to accommodate the inner part of the left adjusting piece 3-8-1, and a sealing strip is provided at the notch to form a water stop seal with the left adjusting piece 3-8-1.
[0053] Further, an exhaust and silencing pipe 3-5 is connected to the drain pipe 3-6 through a drain pipe tee connector 3-9 to exhaust, silence, and maintain the stability of the constant pressure head.
[0054] As an option, solenoid valves can also be installed on the drain pipes 3-6 of each adjusting piece. When adjusting the water level by sliding an adjusting piece on one side up and down, the solenoid valve on the drain pipe of the adjusting piece on the other side is closed.
[0055] In this embodiment, the constant pressure water storage tank 3 is a transparent plexiglass water tank, the adjusting piece 3-8 is a double-layer transparent plexiglass, and the porous energy dissipation surface 3-2 is a transparent plexiglass energy dissipation surface.
[0056] The water conveyance pipeline system is arranged with 3 channels and 12 flow channels, and is mainly composed of a main flow measurement pipeline 4 and connecting hoses 4-6. There are three main flow measurement pipelines 4, which are laid horizontally in parallel. The head end of the main flow measurement pipeline 4 is communicated with the constant pressure water storage tank 3, and a control valve 4-1 and a mesh filter 4-2 are installed. The tail end of the main flow measurement pipeline 4 is blocked by a plug 4-7. Four connection ports are evenly spaced on the main flow measurement pipeline 4, and the upper end of each connection port is connected to the connecting hose 4-6. The lower end of the connecting hose 4-6 is connected to a small flow rate irrigation device or a material test shell 4-8 for testing. An irrigation device material for testing is installed in the material test shell 4-8, so that the small flow rate irrigation device or the material test shell hangs naturally, and under the influence of gravity, the accuracy of its flow rate test is ensured.
[0057] When the main flow measurement pipeline 4 is composed of multiple short pipes connected together, the short pipes are connected through a tee connector 4-4, and the third interface of the tee connector 4-4 is connected to the upper end of the connecting hose 4-6 through a reducer 4-5.
[0058] The multi-channel and multi-flow channel setting of the water conveyance pipeline system can test the cumulative flow rates of irrigation devices and irrigation device materials under multiple factors. Different channels and flow channels can be set according to actual situations for testing, meeting the variable measurement of single factor and multiple factors; it can also test the cumulative flow rates of different irrigation devices or different irrigation device materials, greatly increasing the diversity and universality of the testing of the present invention.
[0059] The main flow measurement pipeline 4 can be made of transparent plexiglass material, which is easy to observe and beautiful. Its diameter size can be selected according to specific test requirements, generally D15, D20, D25, D32, etc.
[0060] As an option, the tee connector 4-4, the reducer 4-5, and the plug 4-7 can all be made of transparent plexiglass material, and the connecting hose 4-6 is a transparent PVC hose.
[0061] Such as Figure 9-11As shown, the material test shell 4-8 includes a cover 4-8-1 and a box body 4-8-2. The box body 4-8-2 is in the shape of a hollow cylinder, and a circular protrusion 4-8-3 for placing test materials is provided at its bottom. A pressing ring 4-8-6 for pressing the test materials is placed inside the box body 4-8-2. A plurality of radially protruding fixing blocks 4-8-5 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction on the inner circular surface of the pressing ring 4-8-6. A sealing water-stop rubber ring pressing on the test materials is provided at the bottom of the pressing ring 4-8-6. The cover 4-8-1 and the box body 4-8-2 are screwed tightly through thread fitting. An interface connected to the connecting hose 4-6 is provided on the cover 4-8-1. The irrigation emitter material 4-8-7 for testing is horizontally and closely placed on the circular protrusion 4-8-3 of the box body, and the pressing ring 4-8-6 is placed to seal the perimeter of the irrigation emitter material 4-8-7 against water. Then the cover 4-8-1 is screwed tightly to complete the installation of the material test shell 4-8.
[0062] Continue to refer to Figure 1 As shown, the aluminum alloy support platform 5 is seamlessly welded from aluminum alloy materials and is fixed on the test bench 1. The aluminum alloy support platform 5 is divided into two sub-platforms, namely the constant-pressure water storage tank support platform 5-2 and the flow measurement pipeline support platform 5-1. The constant-pressure water storage tank support platform 5-2 is used to support the constant-pressure water storage tank 3, and the flow measurement pipeline support platform 5-1 is used to fix the water delivery pipeline system. The main flow measurement pipeline 4 of the water delivery pipeline system is fixed on the flow measurement pipeline support platform 5-1 through the pipeline fixing clamp 4-3 to ensure the stability and reliability of flow measurement during long-term operation.
[0063] On Figure 1-4 the basis of, combined with Figure 12-14 As shown, the water collection and drainage circulation system includes a water collection and drainage bucket 7, a drainage container 7-12, drainage tributaries 7-2, a drainage main stream 7-8, a return pool 7-3 and a water pump. The water collection and drainage bucket 7 is arranged directly below the small-flow irrigation emitter or the material test shell for testing and is supported on the water collection and drainage bucket support platform 7-1. The barrel wall of the water collection and drainage bucket 7 is an induction wall surface 7-10, and a water level sensor is provided. A movable drainage bottom 7-9 is provided at the bottom of the water collection and drainage bucket 7. When not draining water, the movable drainage bottom 7-9 is closed, and when draining water is required, the movable drainage bottom 7-9 is opened; a circular gravity sensor support 6-2 is also connected to the bottom of the water collection and drainage bucket 7, and a gravity sensor 6-6 is installed; the drainage container 7-12 is in the shape of a funnel, its upper end is welded to the gravity sensor support 6-2, and a drainage tributary 7-2 is provided directly below the water outlet of the drainage container 7-12. Each drainage tributary 7-2 converges at the drainage main stream 7-8, and the drainage main stream 7-8 is communicated with the return pool 7-3. The drainage tributaries 7-2, the drainage main stream 7-8 and the return pool 7-3 are all arranged on the test bench 1. The water pump in the return pool 7-3 is a floating low-lift water pump, which returns the water in the return pool 7-3 to the water pool 2.
[0064] During the test, water flows through a small flow rate water injector or a material test shell into the drainage bucket below. When the water level in the drainage bucket reaches the set water level, the platform controller controls the movable drainage bottom 7-9 to open and drain the water to the drainage container below, and then drains it into the drainage branch. Since the water is first drained to the drainage container 7-12 during the drainage process, the time is very short, and the error caused is very small and can be ignored. Then the water flows to the drainage main stream 7-8, and finally flows back to the return pool 7-3. When the water level in the return pool 7-3 reaches a certain height, the return pool floating low-lift water pump 7-4 delivers water to the pool 2, so that the pool 2 can achieve continuous water supply and realize water recycling.
[0065] The movable drainage bottom 7-9 is composed of at least two bottom plates movably installed on the bottom of the water collecting and draining bucket 7, and its opening or closing is controlled by the mechanical force of the spring. The remote data monitoring and analysis control APP controls the spring switch to open or close according to the water level signal monitored by the water level sensor. After the spring switch is turned on, the bottom plate flips downward to open the water collecting and draining bucket for drainage. After the bottom plate is reset, a water-stop seal is formed between the bottom plates through the rubber water-stop strips 7-11 to ensure that the water collecting and draining bucket does not leak.
[0066] The flow monitoring system obtains the flow rate by collecting the cumulative weight of the drainage bucket 7 in real time through the gravity sensor 6-6, and then transmits the data to the remote data monitoring and analysis control APP through the wireless data acquisition and transmission device 6. The gravity sensor 6-6 obtains real-time power supply through the 12V power box 6-3, thereby realizing real-time and continuous data transmission.
[0067] In the flow monitoring system, the gravity sensor 6-6 can continuously accumulate and measure the flow, and the flow information is transmitted to the wireless data acquisition and transmission device 6 via the data transmission harness 6-1, and then transmitted to the remote data monitoring and analysis control APP to generate a flow accumulation curve. The wireless data acquisition and transmission device 6 plays the role of a medium connection, which can realize the transmission of remote commands and control, and can collect all the data on the test platform and transmit it in real time, truly realizing monitoring, control, transmission and analysis.
[0068] In the water delivery pipeline system, a fixed column 6 - 5 is correspondingly arranged in each row of flow channels in the transverse direction to install the wireless data acquisition and transmission device 6 to ensure that the wireless data acquisition and transmission device 6 can receive signals well.
[0069] Example 2: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that only one adjustment groove is provided on the fixed side wall of the constant-pressure water storage tank close to the pool side, and the adjustment groove penetrates the fixed side wall up and down. The transmission device is arranged at the bottom of the constant-pressure water storage tank. The overall cross-section of the original double-layer transparent plexiglass adjustment piece is in the shape of an "I", and the length is not less than twice the height of the water storage tank. The opening position on the adjustment piece is located at the center of the length direction of the adjustment piece, so that during the up and down movement of the adjustment piece, the water level adjustment range of the adjustment piece is (0-1)H, and the adjustment piece can always seal the adjustment groove. The settings of the remaining structures are the same as those in Example 1.
[0070] Example 3: On the basis of Example 2, the exhaust silencer pipe is cancelled, reducing the noise reduction treatment. The water in the constant-pressure water storage tank is directly discharged into the pool through the drain pipe.
[0071] Example 4: On the basis of Example 1, the transmission device for controlling the up and down movement of the adjustment piece is cancelled, further reducing the cost. After cancellation, the water level in the constant-pressure water storage tank can be controlled by manually controlling the up and down movement of the adjustment piece for flow measurement.
[0072] Example 5: On the basis of Example 4, ordinary materials such as PVC or PE are used to replace the transparent plexiglass, thus further simplifying the equipment, reducing the cost, reducing the construction cost, and reducing the maintenance burden.
[0073] The above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the specific implementation manners of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced with reference to the above examples. Any modification or equivalent replacement that does not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention is within the scope of the claims pending for approval.
