Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a circulating irrigation system for sweet cherry cultivation and breeding, and particularly to a circulating irrigation system for sweet cherry cultivation and breeding applied to the technical field of agricultural irrigation. Background Art
[0002] Currently, traditional agricultural irrigation systems, especially those for fruit tree planting, face problems such as water resource waste, uneven irrigation, and high system maintenance costs. Although there are some solutions in the prior art, such as drip irrigation systems and the Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) method, there are still limitations.
[0003] Chinese Patent Invention CN108471715B discloses a drip irrigation system, which includes a distribution pipe and a drip tube with an inlet valve and a flushing valve. Although this system can manage the drip irrigation water volume by controlling the valves, this technology relies on traditional water pressure control methods and cannot achieve layered irrigation for roots at different depths. Moreover, its system maintenance is complex, prone to blockage, and may require frequent manual cleaning during long-term operation. In addition, this system does not involve the issue of water resource recovery and reuse, resulting in low water resource utilization efficiency.
[0004] Chinese Patent Invention CN109862779B introduces a sensor-based irrigation system that combines the monitoring of parameters such as the salinity, pH, and temperature of water, and controls irrigation by enabling or disabling the pump. However, this system is mainly applied to fields adjacent to water channels. Although it can adjust the pumping frequency, it lacks the ability for precise water management required in fruit tree planting, especially in the irrigation needs of deep-rooted plants. In addition, the Alternate Wetting and Drying method it relies on has an unsatisfactory impact on the root development of tree crops and cannot effectively solve the complex water requirements of fruit tree planting.
[0005] Chinese Patent Invention CN111278275B provides an irrigation system that controls water flow through a swellable element and can adjust water by controlling the opening and closing of the water flow. However, this technology is mainly applicable to shallow irrigation, and the swellable element it relies on may fail during long-term use, resulting in a decrease in the accuracy of water flow control. For deep-rooted crops such as sweet cherry trees, it cannot provide layered water management, and the system maintenance cost is high. Summary of the Invention
[0006] Aiming at the above-mentioned prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to achieve precise layered irrigation, recycling of water resources, and intelligent prediction and control.
[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a sweet cherry cultivation and breeding circulating irrigation system, comprising a control system and a plurality of infiltration pipes buried underground, wherein the plurality of infiltration pipes form an underground infiltration pipe network, wherein the infiltration pipe network is respectively provided with a shallow infiltration pipe network, a middle infiltration pipe network and a deep infiltration pipe network according to the root depth of the sweet cherry tree, and the three layers of infiltration pipes evenly divide the root depth range of the sweet cherry tree, at least three infiltration pipes are distributed around the root system of each sweet cherry tree, and the infiltration pipes are arranged in a circle around the root system of the sweet cherry tree, a capillary layer is provided on the outer wall of the infiltration pipe, and a barrier layer with a pore size larger than the capillary layer is wrapped outside the capillary layer, and the barrier layer is used to prevent soil from entering the infiltration pipe;
[0008] The control system has a built-in AI, which uses aerial images to automatically design the infiltration pipe network layout and identifies each plant with an independent number. The infiltration pipes around each sweet cherry tree are equipped with a micro solenoid valve to control the irrigation water volume, and multiple micro solenoid valves are electrically connected to the control system;
[0009] The permeate pipe network layout is such that when all micro-electromagnetic valves are at their maximum opening, the water pressure at each location in each permeate pipe is balanced;
[0010] The capillary layer is made of a conductive material, and the capillary layer is electrically connected to a control system, and the soil water content is determined by monitoring the change in the resistance of the capillary layer;
[0011] During irrigation, water penetrates the capillary layer and the barrier layer outwards through the infiltration pipe to irrigate. When the soil moisture is too high, the capillary layer and the barrier layer absorb the water into the infiltration pipe through capillary action and store it in a centralized manner.
[0012] The control system integrates ground temperature and humidity sensors and local weather data through AI, calculates the actual water consumption and theoretical water consumption of each sweet cherry tree, compares the differences, and then analyzes the health status of the plants and reminds maintenance personnel when abnormalities occur. At the same time, the AI adjusts the soil moisture according to the actual water consumption and theoretical water consumption to keep the sweet cherry trees in a suitable humidity range. The AI adjusts the soil dry-wet cycle according to the growth law of the sweet cherry trees so that the roots of the sweet cherry trees can take into account both breathing and water absorption.
[0013] In the above sweet cherry cultivation and recycling irrigation system, through the intelligent stratified infiltration pipeline design, combined with micro solenoid valves, it is possible to independently irrigate the roots at different depths, ensuring the reasonable distribution of water resources. By using capillary layer technology and multi-stage filtration devices, it is possible to effectively recover excessive water in the soil, filter and purify it, and then reuse it for irrigation, achieving the sustainable utilization of water resources and avoiding waste. Combined with AI technology, the present invention can intelligently predict irrigation requirements based on real-time data, historical climate patterns, and weather forecasts, adjust the irrigation time and water volume in advance, greatly improve the water resource utilization efficiency, and reduce manual operation intervention.
[0014] As a further improvement of this application, the pipeline network layout is generated through comprehensive AI analysis based on data such as aerial images, soil conductivity, terrain slope, and water flow direction, ensuring balanced water pressure everywhere.
[0015] As a further improvement of this application, the irrigation of each sweet cherry tree is independently controlled by the micro solenoid valve, and the micro solenoid valve has the function of adjustable flow rate. The irrigation flow rate of each plant is precisely controlled by adjusting the switch time and opening degree.
[0016] As a further improvement of this application, the infiltration pipeline is provided with a self-cleaning function. There is a cleanable channel inside the infiltration pipeline, and the cleanable channel is maintained by regularly using a micro cleaning device to prevent the infiltration pipeline from being blocked.
[0017] As another improvement of this application, the control system predicts future irrigation requirements through AI, combines historical data, real-time sensor data, and weather forecasts, and adjusts the irrigation time and irrigation water volume in advance to optimize the distribution of water resources.
[0018] As a supplement to another improvement of this application, the control system dynamically adjusts the irrigation water volume according to the monitoring data of the shallow infiltration pipe network, the middle infiltration pipe network, and the deep infiltration pipe network to achieve stratified irrigation.
[0019] As a supplement to another improvement of this application, it also includes a multi-stage filtration device. The multi-stage filtration device is used to filter and purify the water recovered through the capillary layer, and store the purified water in an underground reservoir or a water storage tank for the next irrigation use.
[0020] As another improvement of this application, the system has a remote control function. Users can view the operating status of the irrigation system in real time through a remote control terminal, and can adjust the irrigation time, irrigation water volume, and view plant health data. The energy supply of the system is provided by renewable energy such as solar energy and wind energy, and the renewable energy is used to supply power to the irrigation control system, micro solenoid valves, and capillary layer system.
[0021] A sweet cherry cultivation and recycling irrigation system, and its method includes the following steps:
[0022] S1: Using data such as aerial images, soil conductivity, terrain slope, and water flow direction, utilize AI to generate the layout of the underground infiltration pipe network to ensure the balanced distribution of infiltration pipes around each sweet cherry tree;
[0023] S2: Divide the root depth of sweet cherry trees into shallow, middle, and deep layers, and correspondingly set up shallow infiltration pipe networks, middle infiltration pipe networks, and deep infiltration pipe networks. Each layer of pipe network independently controls the irrigation water volume through micro solenoid valves;
[0024] S3: Real-time monitor the resistance change of the capillary layer, and according to the soil water content data, control the micro solenoid valve to adjust the opening degree of the infiltration pipe to achieve precise irrigation;
[0025] S4: When the soil humidity is too high, the capillary layer absorbs the excess water through capillary action, stores it in the infiltration pipe, and after centralized recovery, it is subjected to multi-stage filtration and purification. The purified water is stored in an underground reservoir or a water storage tank;
[0026] S5: According to the ground temperature and humidity sensors, local weather data, and plant water consumption, AI dynamically adjusts the irrigation frequency and water volume, optimizes the allocation of water resources, and ensures that the sweet cherry trees are in an appropriate soil humidity range.
[0027] In summary, the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0028] 1. Efficient and precise water resource management. Through the independent control function of the multi-layer infiltration pipe network and micro solenoid valves, the system can accurately provide the required water according to the roots of sweet cherry trees at different depths. This layered irrigation design ensures that the shallow, middle, and deep roots can obtain appropriate water supply at different growth stages. Compared with traditional irrigation methods, this design avoids over-irrigation and water resource waste, realizes the uniform distribution of water, and maximizes the utilization efficiency of water resources.
[0029] The real-time water monitoring and adjustment function further improves the accuracy of the system. The conductive material in the capillary layer detects the change of soil resistance, and real-time feedbacks the water content of the soil. Combined with the dynamic adjustment of the micro solenoid valve, the system can accurately control the irrigation water volume to ensure that the soil humidity is always maintained within an appropriate range. This adjustment based on real-time data greatly improves the flexibility and accuracy of irrigation.
[0030] 2. Automated and intelligent operation. The AI technology of this patent enables a high degree of automation in the entire irrigation process. The AI-generated infiltration pipe network layout function in Example 1 can generate an optimal pipe network distribution plan based on various data such as aerial images and soil conductivity, ensuring the rationality of the pipe layout and the balance of water pressure. Users do not need to manually perform complex pipe design, simplifying the installation and debugging process.
[0031] AI dynamic irrigation prediction function. By integrating historical data, weather forecasts, and real-time sensor data, AI can predict future irrigation needs and automatically adjust the irrigation time and water volume. This prediction mechanism not only reduces human intervention but also ensures that the system can respond flexibly under changing climate conditions, avoiding unnecessary waste and at the same time ensuring the healthy growth of plants.
[0032] 3. Recycling of sustainable water resources. The water recovery and multi-stage filtration function of the system enhances the sustainability of the system. When the soil humidity is too high, the capillary layer will absorb the excess water back into the pipeline through capillary action, and after being purified by the multi-stage filtration device, it is stored in the underground reservoir. These purified water sources can be reused in subsequent irrigation, effectively reducing the dependence on external water sources. Especially in rainy areas, this function can greatly save water resources and reduce agricultural production costs. Especially in areas with water shortages, through this mechanism, the consumption of irrigation water can be significantly reduced.
[0033] 4. Remote control and renewable energy power supply. The remote control function greatly improves the management flexibility of the system. Users can view the operating status of the irrigation system at any time through the remote control terminal, including real-time soil humidity, plant health status, irrigation plan, etc., and can also make manual adjustments according to specific needs. This remote control function facilitates the management of large-scale plantations and reduces the need for on-site operations.
[0034] In addition, the system uses solar energy and wind energy as energy supplies, reducing the dependence on the external power grid and ensuring the stable operation of the system in areas lacking power supply. This design is both environmentally friendly and economical, meeting the trend of sustainable development of modern agriculture. Description of the Drawings

[0043] The following will describe three embodiments of this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0044] Embodiment 1
[0045] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, this embodiment describes an intelligent sweet cherry planting and breeding circular irrigation system. The core of the system consists of multiple underground penetration pipes 1 buried in the ground. These pipes form a multi-layer underground penetration pipe network 2, which is specifically designed according to the root depth of the sweet cherry trees 3. According to the different depths of the root distribution, the pipe network is divided into a shallow penetration pipe network 4, a middle penetration pipe network 5, and a deep penetration pipe network 6. These three layers of pipes evenly cover the root depth range of the sweet cherry trees 3.
[0046] Around the roots of each sweet cherry tree 3, at least three penetration pipes 1 are distributed, and these penetration pipes 1 are arranged in a circular pattern according to the root layout of the tree, which can effectively wrap different areas of the roots. The outer wall of the pipe is covered with a capillary layer 7, which is made of a conductive material and is wrapped with a barrier layer 8 with a pore size larger than that of the capillary layer 7. The barrier layer 8 is used to prevent soil from entering the pipe, thereby maintaining the cleanliness and penetration function inside the pipe.
[0047] The system relies on AI technology for automated layout design. First, the system will input high-resolution images taken by drones, combined with topographic features such as slope and watershed in each planting area, into the AI system for analysis. Then, the AI will further combine various parameters such as soil conductivity and surface water flow direction to generate a three-dimensional soil model. This model provides the permeability and drainage characteristics of different layers of soil, enabling the pipe layout plan to be optimized according to these variables.
[0048] When designing the layout, the system plans the positions of the shallow, middle, and deep infiltration pipes 1 according to the root depth, ensuring that each layer of the pipe network can evenly cover the root depth. The water pressure of all pipes is calculated by AI to ensure that the water pressure remains consistent at each node in the pipe network at the maximum opening, avoiding excessive or insufficient water volume in some areas.
[0049] First, an AI automatically analyzes and generates a layout diagram, and then the pipes are laid according to the plan during construction. After construction, the system will ensure the water pressure balance according to the pressure test and timely adjust the design deviation.
[0050] Micro solenoid valves are equipped on the infiltration pipes 1 around each sweet cherry tree 3. These solenoid valves are directly connected to the control system and can be adjusted according to the individual needs of the trees. The system controls the water volume entering the area around the plant by adjusting the opening of the solenoid valves according to the water requirements of different plants.
[0051] The conductive material in the capillary layer 7 is directly connected to the system and can detect the change in the resistance value of the soil. The soil resistance is inversely proportional to the water content. When the soil resistance decreases, it indicates an increase in the water content, and the system can dynamically adjust the irrigation flow according to this data to maintain an appropriate water supply.
[0052] When starting the irrigation program, the system performs precise irrigation by controlling the switching time and opening of the micro solenoid valves according to the preset water requirements.
[0053] The root depth of the sweet cherry tree 3 usually has a layered characteristic. Therefore, the infiltration pipe 1 is designed into a three-layer structure of shallow, middle, and deep layers, covering different depths of the roots respectively. The system can separately adjust the irrigation water volume of each layer according to the water requirements of different layers of roots to ensure the balance of water supply for the entire root system.
[0054] The system can monitor the soil humidity at each depth through soil humidity sensors and control the irrigation volume of each layer of the pipe network based on the real-time data. This design ensures that both the shallow roots and the deep roots can obtain appropriate water volume and avoids the risk of root floating caused by excessive shallow irrigation.
[0055] The system controls the irrigation of the shallow, middle, and deep pipe networks in layers according to the set irrigation strategy. The AI system will collect the soil humidity data of each layer in real time during irrigation and automatically adjust the irrigation parameters.
[0056] The capillary layer 7 is the core component in the irrigation system and has a two-way water conduction function. When irrigating, the water seeps out through the infiltration pipe 1 and reaches the roots of the trees through the capillary layer 7 and the barrier layer 8 in sequence. When there is too much rainfall or the soil humidity exceeds the set value, the capillary layer 7 can reabsorb the excessive water into the pipes through capillary action and store it in the underground pipe network.
[0057] After excessive moisture is sucked into the pipeline by capillary action, it enters an internal water storage system equipped with a water level sensor and a flow meter to monitor the amount of recycled water in real time and purify this moisture through a filtering device at the right time for reuse in irrigation.
[0058] In case of rainfall or excessive wetness, the system will automatically switch to the water recycling mode. The capillary layer 7 absorbs excessive moisture and enters the water storage pipe network. After the moisture is collected, it is filtered and stored, waiting to be reused.
[0059] The control system integrates various sensor data, including ground temperature and humidity, air humidity, and local real-time weather forecasts. The AI will use this data to calculate the actual water consumption of each sweet cherry tree 3 and compare it with the preset theoretical water consumption. When the system detects a large difference between the water consumption of a certain tree and the theoretical value, the AI will infer the health status of the tree and whether there may be diseases or root problems.
[0060] When the health status of a certain sweet cherry tree 3 is abnormal, the AI will prompt the maintenance personnel to conduct further inspections through the system. The AI can also predict the irrigation requirements within a future period based on historical data and adjust the irrigation time, irrigation frequency, and water volume in a timely manner to keep the soil humidity within the optimal range.
[0061] The system monitors the growth status of plants daily, automatically issues abnormal warnings by comparing current data with historical data, and adjusts irrigation parameters to ensure that the plants are in the best growth state.
[0062] Through the multi-layer pipe network and real-time monitoring system, the system can supply water according to the actual needs of each plant, avoiding waste in traditional irrigation. The two-way water management of the capillary layer 7 can also recycle moisture when there is excessive rainfall, improving the utilization efficiency of water resources.
[0063] The independent control design of the micro solenoid valve ensures that each sweet cherry tree 3 can receive an appropriate amount of water supply according to its actual needs. The intelligent analysis and dynamic regulation of the AI ensure the intelligence level of the system, requiring little manual intervention.
[0064] Through the hierarchical control of the shallow, middle, and deep pipe networks, the system can provide precise water supply for roots at different depths, maximizing the water absorption efficiency of plants and ensuring the healthy growth of plants.
[0065] Through real-time data analysis, the AI can promptly detect abnormal growth conditions of plants, avoiding problems accumulated over a long time. Combining the water recycling and automatic maintenance functions, the entire system has the ability to operate stably for a long time.
[0066] Embodiment 2
[0067] AsFigures 1 to 6 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, on the basis of Embodiment 1, the self-cleaning function, water recovery, intelligent prediction irrigation, and remote control function of the system are further improved, enhancing the automation and sustainability of the system.
[0068] There is a cleanable channel inside the permeable pipe 1. This channel is designed to prevent the accumulation of sediment or minerals. The fine particles inside the pipe are discharged through the automatic drain of the system to avoid blockage. In addition, the pipe is regularly maintained using a micro-cleaning device. The cleaning device can move inside the pipe to remove the accumulated sediment and ensure the normal operation of the permeable pipe 1.
[0069] The micro-cleaning device is activated according to a preset schedule or in real time based on sensor data to clean the particles in the pipe that may cause blockage. The device is equipped with a built-in pressure sensor. When a pressure increase indicating a precursor to blockage is detected, the system will automatically activate the device for cleaning.
[0070] The control system checks the pressure state inside the pipe at regular intervals. When the pressure inside the pipe is too high, the system will trigger the self-cleaning program, and the micro-cleaning device will clean along the pipe to ensure the pipe is unobstructed.
[0071] The system includes a multi-stage filtration device for treating the water recovered through the capillary layer 7. The capillary layer 7 can not only absorb the excess water in the soil into the pipe but also remove pollutants such as sediment, impurities, and microorganisms through the filtration device, making the water quality meet the standard for reuse.
[0072] The water after filtration treatment will be stored in an underground reservoir or a water storage tank. The water storage system is also connected with a liquid level sensor, which can monitor the water storage volume in real time. When the water volume reaches a certain standard, the system will automatically reuse this water for subsequent irrigation, realizing the recycling of water resources.
[0073] When the capillary layer 7 recovers water, the water first passes through a multi-stage filtration system for purification. The purified water flows into the underground water storage facility, and the water level in the water storage tank is monitored through the intelligent control system to ensure there is enough purified water for subsequent irrigation.
[0074] The AI in the control system can combine historical data, real-time sensor data, and weather forecast information to predict future irrigation needs. The AI will calculate the water requirements of the sweet cherry tree 3 in the next few days based on historical climate patterns and current climate data, so as to adjust the irrigation time and water volume in advance to ensure the efficient use of water resources.
[0075] The system can set the irrigation plan in advance according to the prediction results of the AI. For example, when the weather forecast shows rainfall in the next few days, the system will reduce the irrigation frequency or postpone the irrigation time to avoid unnecessary water waste.
[0076] The AI regularly collects data, predicts the water requirements for the next few days based on the weather forecast, adjusts the irrigation plan, and automatically makes dynamic adjustments to ensure that the plants receive appropriate moisture.
[0077] The system is equipped with a remote control function. Users can view the operating status of the irrigation system in real time through terminal devices such as mobile phones, tablets, or computers, including data such as the current soil moisture, irrigation water volume, and plant health status. Users can also manually adjust the irrigation time or water volume to flexibly manage the plant growth environment.
[0078] To reduce dependence on external power, the system uses renewable energy sources such as solar energy and wind energy to supply power to the control system, micro solenoid valves, and capillary layer 7 monitoring system. Solar panels and wind turbines are installed around the planting area, and the generated electricity is stored in batteries to provide stable energy for the daily operation of the system.
[0079] Users can monitor the operating status of the system at any time through the remote terminal. If abnormal conditions are detected, they can manually adjust the irrigation parameters. The solar panels and wind power generation devices provide clean energy for the system every day, and the system allocates power supply according to the real-time power.
[0080] When the pressure sensor of the permeable pipe 1 detects an increase in pipeline pressure, the system automatically triggers the self-cleaning device. The device moves along the inside of the pipeline to clean the blockages, ensuring the pipeline is unobstructed. The dirt after cleaning is discharged through the drain.
[0081] When rainfall or over-irrigation causes the soil to be saturated with water, the capillary layer 7 will absorb the excess water back into the permeable pipe 1. The water flow passes through a multi-stage filtration device for purification, and the purified water is stored in the underground reservoir for reuse by the system.
[0082] The AI calculates the irrigation requirements for the next few days based on past climate data, current weather forecasts, and real-time soil moisture information. The system will automatically adjust the irrigation time and water volume to ensure that each sweet cherry tree 3 can receive an appropriate water supply and avoid wasting water resources.
[0083] Users can view the operating status of the system at any time through mobile phones or computers. The sensors in the system will provide real-time data to help users make reasonable management decisions. The system uses solar energy and wind energy for power supply, and the irrigation system can operate stably even in areas lacking grid support.
[0084] The self-cleaning function of the permeable pipe 1 effectively solves the problem of pipeline blockage in traditional irrigation systems, reduces the frequency and cost of manual maintenance, and ensures that the system can operate stably for a long time.
[0085] Through the two-way water management of the capillary layer 7 and the purification function of the multi-stage filtration device, the system realizes the efficient recycling of water resources, avoids the waste of water resources. Especially in the rainy season, the system can fully collect the excess water for subsequent irrigation.
[0086] The AI prediction function combines historical data and real-time weather data, optimizes the irrigation plan, avoids unnecessary irrigation operations, improves the utilization efficiency of water resources, and ensures that plants can grow under the most suitable conditions.
[0087] By using solar energy and wind energy, the system reduces its dependence on external power and achieves energy self-sufficiency. Users can view and adjust the operating status of the system at any time through the remote control terminal, which greatly improves the flexibility of the system and the management efficiency of users.
[0088] Example 2 further improves the sweet cherry planting and breeding circular irrigation system, enabling it to have a series of functions such as self-cleaning function, intelligent irrigation prediction, multi-stage water recovery, and remote control. The combination of these functions enables the system to manage water resources more efficiently, adapt to different climate conditions, and ensure that plants grow in the optimal environment.
[0089] Example 3
[0090] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, based on Example 1 and Example 2, Example 3 details the specific method of the sweet cherry planting and breeding circular irrigation system. This method realizes a more accurate and sustainable intelligent irrigation process by integrating AI and an automated management system. Below, we will describe the specific operation process of this method step by step.
[0091] Step S1: AI generates the layout of the infiltration pipe network 2:
[0092] Aerial image and terrain data analysis: The system first collects high-resolution images of the planting area through drone aerial photography. The AI combines data such as soil conductivity, terrain slope, and water flow direction to analyze and generate the optimal layout of the underground infiltration pipe network 2. This step ensures that the infiltration pipes 1 can be evenly distributed around each sweet cherry tree 3.
[0093] Distribution planning of the infiltration pipes 1: According to the layout diagram generated by the AI, the pipes are laid in layers around the root systems of the sweet cherry trees 3 to ensure uniform water supply in each area.
[0094] Step S2: Setting of the layered infiltration pipe network 2:
[0095] Root depth layered design: The root depth of the sweet cherry trees 3 is analyzed by the AI and divided into shallow, middle, and deep layers. The corresponding infiltration pipes 1 are set in different depth ranges to adapt to the water requirements of roots at different depths.
[0096] Independent control of micro solenoid valves: Each layer of the permeable pipe network 2 is equipped with micro solenoid valves to independently control the irrigation water volume of each layer. The control system can accurately control the water flow to each layer of pipes according to the soil humidity and the water demand of plants, thus ensuring the balance of water supply to the entire root system at different depths.
[0097] Step S3: Real-time monitoring of soil water content and adjustment of irrigation volume:
[0098] Resistance monitoring of the capillary layer 7: By monitoring the resistance change of the capillary layer 7, the system can obtain the soil water content data in real time. The resistance value reflects the change of soil water content, and the system decides whether to increase or decrease the irrigation water volume accordingly to ensure that the plant roots can always be in the most suitable humidity environment.
[0099] Dynamic adjustment of micro solenoid valves: Through the feedback data, the control system can dynamically adjust the opening degree of the micro solenoid valves, thereby regulating the water flow of the permeable pipe 1 to ensure accurate irrigation.
[0100] Step S4: Recycling and purification of excess water:
[0101] Water recycling by capillary action: When the soil humidity is too high, the capillary layer 7 will reabsorb the excess water into the permeable pipe 1 through capillary action. The excessive water is concentrated and stored and enters the recycling system.
[0102] Purification by multi-stage filtration device: The excess water removes pollutants such as impurities and sediment through the multi-stage filtration device. The purified water is stored in the underground reservoir or water storage tank as the backup water source for subsequent irrigation.
[0103] Water resource management for reuse: The water level in the water storage tank is monitored in real time by the liquid level sensor. When the water level in the water storage tank reaches the preset value, the system will automatically dispatch this water for the next round of irrigation, saving the consumption of fresh water resources.
[0104] Step S5: AI dynamic adjustment of irrigation plan:
[0105] AI combines multi-source data for prediction: The AI in the system will conduct comprehensive analysis based on various factors such as historical climate data, real-time weather forecast, ground temperature and humidity sensors, and plant water consumption to predict future irrigation requirements.
[0106] Optimizing irrigation frequency and water volume distribution: AI can adjust the irrigation frequency and water volume in advance according to the prediction results. For example, if the weather forecast shows that there will be rainfall in the next few days, the system will automatically reduce or postpone irrigation to avoid wasting water resources.
[0107] Ensure appropriate humidity: The AI monitors the soil humidity level in real time and automatically adjusts the irrigation frequency and water volume, ensuring that the root system of the sweet cherry tree 3 is always within the optimal humidity range to promote healthy growth.
[0108] First, through drone aerial photography and soil data collection, the AI generates the optimal layout of the underground infiltration pipe network 2 for the sweet cherry orchard, ensuring the balanced distribution of pipes around each tree and the balance of water pressure.
[0109] According to the root depth of the sweet cherry tree 3, the system sets the pipes at different levels as shallow, middle, and deep pipe networks, and the micro solenoid valves independently control the irrigation volume of each layer to achieve layered irrigation.
[0110] The conductive material of the capillary layer 7 monitors the soil water content in real time, and the system adjusts the opening degree of the micro solenoid valve according to the feedback data to ensure the accuracy of irrigation.
[0111] When the soil humidity exceeds the preset threshold, the capillary layer 7 automatically absorbs the excess water into the infiltration pipe 1, and after purification by the multi-stage filtration device, it is stored in the underground reservoir as backup water source.
[0112] The AI predicts the future irrigation demand based on historical data, weather forecasts, and sensor data, and automatically adjusts the irrigation time and water volume to ensure that the system operates under the most water-saving conditions.
[0113] By generating the layout through the AI and dynamically regulating irrigation, the system realizes highly intelligent operation, reduces human intervention, and at the same time ensures the precise distribution and efficient utilization of water resources.
[0114] Based on real-time monitoring and independent control of the solenoid valve, the system can accurately adjust irrigation according to the soil water content and the water demand of plants, avoiding over-irrigation or water shortage, and maximizing the utilization efficiency of water resources.
[0115] Through the two-way water management of the capillary layer 7 and the multi-stage filtration device, the system can recycle the excess water, purify it and reuse it, significantly reducing the dependence on external water sources. Especially in rainy areas, this function makes the system more energy-saving and environmentally friendly.
[0116] The AI can predict the future irrigation demand and adjust the irrigation time and water volume according to the real-time climate change, ensuring the flexibility and economy of the system, and further improving the management efficiency of water resources.
[0117] In summary, Example 3 realizes precise irrigation and water resource management for sweet cherry cultivation through an intelligent method. This method not only improves the automation degree of the system but also optimizes the utilization efficiency of water resources, and has broad application prospects in the field of agricultural irrigation.
[0118] Combined with the current actual requirements, the above-mentioned implementation manner adopted in this application, the protection scope is not limited thereto. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes made without departing from the concept of this application still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
