Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of plant irrigation technology, specifically to an intelligent water storage and infiltration system for root irrigation. Background Technology

[0002] Plant-based water storage and moisture conservation devices are currently used for ecological restoration in arid and semi-arid regions. These devices have achieved certain results in water collection, storage, and retention. However, with climate change and increasing environmental diversity, single fixed-mode devices may not be able to fully adapt to the complex terrain and variable climate conditions in all regions.

[0003] A permeable plant root system irrigation system disclosed in CN203801428U involves burying irrigation water pipes at the root system of trees, corresponding one-to-one with the root system of each tree, to avoid unnecessary losses through targeted irrigation.

[0004] However, the above system is suitable for fixed-point irrigation. It is difficult to implement the above system for water supply to plants in an area. When there are many plants in the area, the above system is labor-intensive and the water distribution is uneven. Therefore, in order to address this situation, we provide a new type of water infiltration system. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent water storage and infiltration system for root irrigation to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a smart water storage and infiltration system for root irrigation, comprising:

[0007] Water permeable grid and smart water storage device;

[0008] The water permeability grid includes a surface frame and a root irrigation frame. The surface frame forms a grid, and the root irrigation frame is installed on the root irrigation frame and buried in the humus layer.

[0009] The intelligent water storage device is equipped with a valve component, which is connected to the surface frame and controls the liquid flow between the intelligent water storage device and the root irrigation frame.

[0010] Further, the surface frame is rod-shaped, and multiple surface frames intersect to form a grid-like area. The grid-like area is divided into several adjacent grid areas, and at least one smart water storage device is installed in each grid area.

[0011] Further, the surface frame includes a T-shaped plate, a U-shaped plate is fixedly installed on the top of the T-shaped plate, and the U-shaped plate and the two sides of the middle plate of the T-shaped plate form a cavity, which is filled with absorbent sponge.

[0012] A gap is provided between the two sides of the C-shaped plate and the bottom plane of the T-shaped plate to form a seepage groove.

[0013] Further, the root irrigation frame is installed at the bottom of the T-shaped plate of the surface frame, and the middle of the root irrigation frame is also filled with water-absorbing sponge. The root irrigation frame has side openings.

[0014] The root irrigation frame is connected to the T-shaped plate at the joint.

[0015] Further, the intelligent water storage device includes a water tank, with a connecting pipe at the top center of the water tank that connects the inside and outside of the water tank. A pressure boosting plate is slidably disposed on the outer surface of the connecting pipe. The pressure boosting plate is connected to the inner wall of the top of the water tank by a tension spring. A surrounding plate adapted to the inner wall of the water tank is fixed at the bottom of the pressure boosting plate.

[0016] The water storage tank has a through hole located below the pressure booster plate, and the surrounding plate covers the through hole in its initial position.

[0017] Furthermore, a water collection hopper is installed at the top of the pipe, and the maximum diameter of the water collection hopper is larger than the outer diameter of the water storage tank.

[0018] Furthermore, regarding this solution, a one-way valve is installed at one end of the connecting pipe inside the water storage tank, and the one-way valve includes:

[0019] The valve body is hollow inside and has holes at both the top and bottom. A compression spring is installed inside the valve body, and a plug is fixed to the top of the compression spring. The plug is conical, and the diameter of the hole at the top of the valve body is smaller than the maximum diameter of the plug.

[0020] Further, the bottom of the water storage tank is cone-shaped, and a connecting block is fixed to the bottom of the water storage tank. A water pipe is installed at the other end of the connecting block, and an electronic valve is installed on the water pipe. The water pipe is connected to the cavity formed by the surface frame.

[0021] Further, the intelligent water storage device is configured in several groups, with each group of intelligent water storage devices connected by a water supply pipe and a booster pipe, and adjacent water supply pipes and booster pipes in each group being parallel to each other.

[0022] The booster pipe is connected to the inside of each water storage tank, and the connection between the booster pipe and the water storage tank is located between the booster plate and the inner wall of the top of the water storage tank; the water supply pipe is connected to the inside of each connecting block.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] This intelligent root irrigation water storage and infiltration system supplies water to the water infiltration grid through an intelligent water storage device. The water infiltration grid can prevent water from being directly injected into the soil, which would cause rapid water loss. Without external force, it maintains a relatively stable water supply. The root irrigation frame can penetrate deep into the humus layer to irrigate and replenish the plant roots, ensuring that water can be relatively evenly distributed to all levels of the plant root system and continuously supply water when needed.

[0025] Meanwhile, the water-absorbing sponges in the water-permeable grid can quickly absorb water while preventing water from being lost quickly from the sponges. When the soil is severely short of water, the intelligent water storage tank can be pressurized to form a pulse water supply, which can quickly supply water and allow the water to radiate rapidly to the surrounding area.

[0033] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] like Figure 1 - Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a smart water storage and infiltration system for root irrigation, comprising a water infiltration grid 1 and a smart water storage device 2. The water infiltration grid 1 includes a surface frame 101 and a root irrigation frame 102. The root irrigation frame 102 is installed on the root irrigation frame 102 and buried in the humus layer. A valve 3 is installed on the smart water storage device 2, and the valve 3 is connected to the surface frame 101. The valve 3 controls the liquid flow between the smart water storage device 2 and the root irrigation frame 102. The smart water storage device 2 is used to store water under normal conditions and to release water when needed. The intelligent water storage device 2 can store rainwater collected during normal times or actively supplied water, providing a sufficient water reserve for the irrigation area. When needed, the intelligent water storage device 2 supplies water to the water infiltration grid 1. The water infiltration grid 1 can prevent water from being directly injected into the soil and causing rapid water loss, and maintain a relatively stable water supply state without external force. The root irrigation frame 102 can penetrate into the humus layer to irrigate and replenish the water for the plant roots.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, to ensure the smooth implementation of this embodiment, it is necessary to understand that the surface frame 101 is rod-shaped, and multiple surface frames 101 intersect to form a grid-like area. The grid-like area is divided into several adjacent grid areas. At least one smart water storage device 2 is set in each grid area. Therefore, at least one smart water storage device 2 is guaranteed in any grid area to ensure the coverage of the smart water storage device 2 and to ensure rapid water radiation when water supply is needed.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the surface frame 101 includes a T-shaped plate 1011, and a U-shaped plate 1012 is fixedly installed on the top of the T-shaped plate 1011. The U-shaped plate 1012 and the two sides of the middle plate of the T-shaped plate 1011 form a cavity, which is filled with a water-absorbing sponge 103. A gap is provided between the two sides of the U-shaped plate 1012 and the bottom plane of the T-shaped plate 1011 to form a seepage groove 1013. The water-absorbing sponge 103 can absorb a large amount of water and lock in a large amount of water without external force. Therefore, under normal conditions, the water-absorbing sponge 103 will not cause rapid water loss after absorbing a large amount of water. When the soil is relatively dry, the water in the sponge can be absorbed by the surrounding soil. Therefore, the surface frame 101 and the root irrigation frame 102 can prevent the soil from becoming oversaturated with water and from evaporating too quickly.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, to ensure the smooth implementation of this embodiment, it is necessary to understand that the root irrigation frame 102 is installed at the bottom of the T-shaped plate 1011 of the surface frame 101, and the middle of the root irrigation frame 102 is also filled with water-absorbing sponge 103. The root irrigation frame 102 has an opening on its side, and the connection between the root irrigation frame 102 and the T-shaped plate 1011 is through. With the support of this structure, the contact between the water-absorbing sponge 103 and the soil is limited, which will not cause the soil to absorb water quickly. By using the frame to limit the water-absorbing sponge 103, it is possible to avoid the soil from putting too much pressure on the water-absorbing sponge 103, which would cause the water inside the water-absorbing sponge 103 to be squeezed out quickly.

[0038] Such as 5 and Figure 6As shown, to ensure the smooth implementation of this embodiment, it is necessary to understand that the intelligent water storage device 2 includes a water storage tank 201. A connecting pipe 202 is installed at the center of the top of the water storage tank 201, connecting the inside and outside of the water storage tank 201. A pressure boosting plate 203 is slidably disposed on the outer surface of the connecting pipe 202. The pressure boosting plate 203 is connected to the inner wall of the top of the water storage tank 201 by a tension spring 204. A surrounding plate 2031 adapted to the inner wall of the water storage tank 201 is fixed at the bottom of the pressure boosting plate 203. A through hole 209 is opened on the water storage tank 201, and the through hole 209 is located on the pressure boosting plate. Below 203, and with the enclosure 2031 covering the through hole 209 in its initial position, a sealing ring is provided around the pressure booster 203 to ensure sealing during the stroke. Under normal conditions, the enclosure 2031 can block the through hole 209 to prevent internal pressure loss. Several groups of intelligent water storage devices 2 are provided, and each group of intelligent water storage devices 2 is connected to each other through a water supply pipe 4 and a pressure booster pipe 5. The adjacent water supply pipes 4 and pressure booster pipes 5 in each group are parallel. The pressure booster pipe 5 is connected to the inside of each water storage tank 201. The connection between the pressure booster pipe 5 and the water storage tank 201 is located at the pressure booster 203. Between 03 and the inner wall of the top of the water storage tank 201; the water supply pipe 4 is connected to the inside of each connecting block 303. It should be noted that a water collection hopper 205 is installed at the top of the connecting pipe 202. The maximum diameter of the water collection hopper 205 is larger than the outer diameter of the water storage tank 201. With this structure, the water collection hopper 205 at the top of the water storage tank 201 can collect rainwater. The rainwater enters the interior of the water storage tank 201 under the action of gravity. When human intervention is needed to supply soil moisture in this area, the pressure is increased to the interior of the water storage tank 201 through the pressure boosting pipe 5. During the pressure boosting process... As the internal pressure of the water storage tank 201 increases, the pressure boosting plate 203 moves downward to supply the water stored inside the water storage tank 201 into the water permeation grid 1. Since the water storage tank 201 is provided with a through hole 209, when the pressure boosting plate 203 passes through the through hole 209, the internal pressure drops instantly, and the pressure of the supplied water also decreases. The pressure boosting plate 203 then resets. In this way, under the control of the pressure boosting intensity of the pressure boosting pipe 5, a pulsed water supply can be formed in the soil, and water radiation can be continuously carried out in each grid irrigation area to ensure sufficient water supply.

[0039] like Figure 6As shown, to ensure the smooth implementation of this embodiment, it is necessary to understand that a one-way valve is installed at one end of the pipe 202 inside the water storage tank 201. The one-way valve includes a valve body 206, which is hollow inside and has holes at both the top and bottom. A compression spring 208 is installed inside the valve body 206, and a plug 207 is fixed to the top of the compression spring 208. The plug 207 is conical, and the diameter of the hole at the top of the valve body 206 is smaller than the maximum diameter of the plug 207. The compression spring 208 is a small spring. When rainwater is collected, the spring cannot support the weight of the rainwater, so the spring is compressed, and water enters the water storage tank 201. When the water storage tank 201 is pressurized, the compression spring 208 can prevent gas leakage by pressing against the plug 207. Under this effect, the pressure inside the water storage tank 201 can be maintained.

[0040] like Figure 5 As shown, to ensure the smooth implementation of this embodiment, it is necessary to understand that the bottom of the water storage tank 201 is conical and bucket-shaped. A connecting block 303 is fixed to the bottom of the water storage tank 201. A water pipe 301 is installed at the other end of the connecting block 303. An electronic valve 302 is installed on the water pipe 301. The water pipe 301 is connected to the cavity formed by the surface frame 101. When the soil is lacking water, the electronic valve 302 is opened, and the water source inside the water storage tank 201 is supplied, or water is supplied directly through the water supply pipe 4.

[0041] Therefore, the system consists of a water infiltration grid 1 and an intelligent water storage tank 2 to form a water storage irrigation infiltration system. The intelligent water storage tank 2 has the functions of water storage and pressurized water supply. With the help of moisture sensors, it can control soil moisture. For example, when the soil moisture is relatively low, the electronic valve 302 opens, and the water inside the water storage tank 201 replenishes the water infiltration grid 1 under the action of gravity. The water-absorbing sponge 103 in the water infiltration grid 1 can quickly absorb water and prevent water from being lost from the water-absorbing sponge 103 quickly. When the soil is severely short of water, the intelligent water storage tank 201 can be pressurized to form a pulse water supply, which can quickly supply water and allow the water to radiate rapidly to the surrounding area.

[0042] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended embodiments and their equivalents.
