Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of flower cultivation, in particular to a drip irrigation device suitable for flower planting. Background Art

[0002] Drip irrigation is a method of using plastic pipes to deliver water to the roots of crops through orifices or drippers on a capillary tube with a diameter of about 10 mm for local irrigation. It is the most effective way of water-saving irrigation in arid and water-scarce areas, with a water utilization rate of up to 95%. Drip irrigation has a higher water-saving and yield-increasing effect than sprinkler irrigation, and can be combined with fertilization to increase fertilizer efficiency by more than double. It can be used for irrigation of fruit trees, vegetables, cash crops and greenhouses, and can also be used for irrigation of field crops in arid and water-scarce areas. Its disadvantage is that the dripper is prone to scaling and clogging, so the water source should be strictly filtered.

[0003] With the development of society and the improvement of people's spiritual needs, flowers are becoming more and more popular as ornamental plants, and the scale of cultivation is gradually expanding. At present, large-scale flower cultivation generally adopts automated or semi-automated planting systems, which can cultivate flower plants with stable growth status on a large scale by controlling temperature, humidity, and automatically applying water and fertilizer. In large-scale flower planting operations, drip irrigation can be used to automatically irrigate each flower and tree individually, which can fully meet the fine irrigation needs of delicate ornamental flowers and trees. Therefore, drip irrigation has been more and more widely used in the field of flower cultivation.

[0004] Flowers are often cultivated in the form of potted plants in large-scale planting. A large number of flower pots with flowers are neatly placed in a greenhouse or other cultivation space. A drip irrigation branch pipe is placed on the ground between two rows of flower pots, and a large number of flexible capillaries are connected to the branch pipe. The capillaries are placed in each flower pot to replenish water for each flower pot synchronously to meet the water supply needs of the flowers. However, in this type of drip irrigation equipment, the complex drip irrigation system is generally placed directly on the ground. Since the water outlet height is higher than the height of the pipe, it has higher requirements for the power of the water pump. In addition, the complex pipe system accumulates on the ground, which makes it impossible to clean the ground frequently. During the planting process, it is impossible to avoid the flow of excess mud and water on the ground, which will cause dust in the drip irrigation system that cannot be cleaned, affecting the cleanliness of the cultivation environment and increasing the risk of clogging the drip irrigation system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. 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 creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] See also Figures 1 to 7 In an embodiment of the present invention, a drip irrigation device suitable for flower planting includes a main pipe 4; the main pipe 4 is provided with a plurality of branch pipes 5 located on both sides of the main pipe 4, the branch pipes 5 are provided with a plurality of drip irrigation structures 7, the drip irrigation structure 7 includes a compensation dripper 71 installed on the branch pipe 5, the compensation dripper 71 is connected with a plurality of capillary tubes 73, and a water outlet drip pipe 72 is installed on the capillary tube 73; a support structure 6 corresponding to the position of the drip irrigation structure 7 is installed on the branch pipe 5, the support structure 6 includes a supporting tube 61 sleeved on the branch pipe 5, the compensation dripper 71 is located at The middle part of the bearing tube 61; a support ring 65 is installed on the outside of the bearing tube 61, and a plurality of main support claws 62 are rotatably installed on the support ring 65, and the main support claws 62 are hooked at one end away from the support ring 65; a drip arrow 63 is rotatably installed on the main support claw 62, and a plug-in tube 631 is provided on the drip arrow 63, and the water outlet drip tube 72 is inserted into the plug-in tube 631; a limiting ring 66 is slidably installed on the side of the bearing tube 61 away from the branch pipe 5, and the main support claws 62 are connected with a support rod 623 through the support ring 65, and the support rod 623 is inserted into the limiting ring 66.

[0027] The device supplies water through the main pipe 4, and the branch pipes 5 are distributed in the field or flower arrangement area. The capillary tube 73 is placed in the designated flower pot, and water is continuously dripped from the capillary tube 73 onto the soil in the flower pot to achieve irrigation of the flowers. The device uses a compensating dripper 71 to connect multiple capillary tubes 73. The water output from each compensating dripper 71 can irrigate multiple surrounding flower pots, and the irrigation efficiency can also be changed by changing the number of capillary tubes 73 placed in the same flower pot. A bearing tube 61 is provided at a position corresponding to the compensating dripper 71 on the branch pipe 5. The bearing tube 61 is sleeved under the branch pipe 5 and wraps the branch pipe 5. The main support claws 62 with multiple adjustable angles and directions are installed on the support ring 65 at the bottom of the bearing tube 61. The other end of the main support claw 62 is hooked and connected to a drip arrow 63. When in use, each main support claw 62 can be hung on the edge of each surrounding flower pot, and the drip arrow 63 can be inserted into the soil for fixing. The limiting ring 66 at the bottom of the supporting tube 61 clamps the support rod 623 of the extended part of the main supporting claw 62, which can limit the rotation of the main supporting claw 62 and prevent the main supporting claw 62 from flipping inward due to gravity when the branch pipe 5 is suspended, thereby causing the flower pot to be dragged or overturned.

[0028] The capillary tube 73 is provided with a water drop tube 72 for discharging water. The water drop tube 72 can be placed in the flower pot alone or plugged into the plug tube 631 of the drip arrow 63. The irrigation water can be directly injected into the soil by using the part of the drip arrow 63 inserted into the soil.

[0029] This device can support the nodes of the branch pipe 5, and through the setting of multiple sets of bracket structures 6, the support rod 623 is suspended as a whole, the bottom does not touch the ground, and will not cause obstruction when muddy water flows, making the ground environment more tidy and beautiful, while reducing the risk of blockage of the branch pipe 5. Through the setting of this device, the position of the branch pipe 5 can be raised as a whole, even if flower pots of different heights are used, the vertical drop of water can be kept within a smaller range, reducing the burden on the water pump 3. And because the head is small, the device can maintain the stability of the water output of each compensation dripper 71 in a larger range, improve the effect of uniform water output, and facilitate more accurate water supply for flower cultivation.

[0030] As another embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 The main pipe 4 is connected to the water pump 3, and the water pump 3 is connected to the water tank 1. The water tank 1 is installed with a filter 2. The water tank 1 is used to store water, and can also be replaced by other water sources, or use dynamic water supply such as tap water. The filter 2 is used to filter the water source to meet the needs of drip irrigation and avoid clogging of the drip irrigation device. The water pump 3 provides sufficient water pressure to supply water to each branch pipe 5.

[0031] See also Figure 6The support tube 61 is rotatably mounted with an adjusting screw 68, and a screw sleeve 69 is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 68. The screw sleeve 69 is connected to the limiting ring 66 through the connecting rod 67. The support tube 61 is mounted with a plurality of limiting blocks 611, and the limiting blocks 611 are respectively located on both sides of the connecting rod 67. The limiting blocks 611 limit the direction of the connecting rod 67, that is, limit the rotation of the screw sleeve 69. By rotating the adjusting screw 68 at the bottom, the height of the screw sleeve 69 and the limiting ring 66 can be changed, thereby changing the angle range limited by the support rod 623, so that the rotation range of the main support claw 62 can be changed, so as to facilitate installation on flower pots with different spacings. The support rod 623 is located on the inner side of the limiting ring 66, limiting the rotation of the main support claw 62 to the middle area. Therefore, under the load-bearing state, the umbrella-shaped structure composed of each main support claw 62 and the support tube 61 cannot be retracted inward, thereby avoiding the problem of the branch pipe 5 falling under the action of gravity.

[0032] See also Figures 2 to 6 The connection between the main support claw 62 and the support rod 623 is provided with a primary slip ring 622, the primary slip ring 622 is sleeved on the support ring 65, the support ring 65 is provided with a secondary slip ring 641 located between the primary slip rings 622, the secondary slip ring 641 is connected to the auxiliary support claw 64, the auxiliary support claw 64 is installed with a drop arrow 63, and the position of the limit ring 66 is disconnected from the auxiliary support claw 64. The primary slip ring 622 is used to connect the support ring 65, so that the main support claw 62 can not only rotate in pitch, but also change its corresponding angle position within a smaller range to match various flower pots with different spacings. The auxiliary support claw 64 is connected to the support ring 65 through the secondary sliding ring 641, and the auxiliary support claw 64 is also equipped with a drip arrow 63. The auxiliary support claw 64 is not a necessary structure, but an improved structure. In order to improve the overall stability during use, the auxiliary support claw 64 can be rotated to touch the ground downward, and when the ground is land, the drip arrow 63 can be inserted into the ground for enhanced fixation. By supporting the branch pipe 5 at the bottom, the force on the flower pot is further reduced, and the stability of the overall mechanism is improved. For drip irrigation devices that need to be used completely suspended, the relative auxiliary support claws 64 can be lifted upward and fixed together with rope loops and other items to keep them suspended.

[0033] See also Figure 2 The main pipe 4 is provided with a plurality of connection seats 42, and the two sides of the connection seats 42 are respectively connected to the branch pipes 5, and the connection between the connection seats 42 and the branch pipes 5 is provided with a control valve 43, and a support frame 44 is installed on the connection seat 42. The connection seat 42 is used to connect the main pipe 4 and the branch pipe 5, and the control valve 43 is used to adjust the water volume and control whether the branch pipe 5 discharges water. The support frame 44 is located at the bottom of the main pipe 4, and the main pipe 4 is lifted up so that the height of the main pipe 4 and the branch pipe 5 are kept consistent.

[0034] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The end of the main pipe 4 away from the water pump 3 is equipped with a primary plug 41, and the end of the branch pipe 5 away from the main pipe 4 is equipped with a secondary plug 51. The primary plug 41 and the secondary plug 51 are common structures, used to cut off the main pipe 4 and the branch pipe 5.

[0035] See also Figure 7 The main support claw 62 is provided with a connecting frame 621 at one end away from the supporting tube 61, and the dripping arrow 63 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 621. The dripping arrow 63 is provided with a multi-faceted guide cone 632 at one end away from the plug-in tube 631, and the dripping arrow 63 is provided with a plurality of clamping rings 633 that match the shape of the water outlet dripping tube 72. The connecting frame 621 is used to install the dripping arrow 63, and the dripping arrow 63 can rotate within a certain angle range to meet the plug-in requirements. The guide cone 632 is located at the bottom and can be inserted into the soil in the flower pot for fixing, and can also be used for drainage during drip irrigation. The shape of the external clamping ring 633 matches the shape of the water outlet dripping tube 72, so when multiple capillary tubes 73 are placed in a flower pot, or when the guide cone 632 is not needed for drainage, the water outlet dripping tube 72 can also be inserted into the clamping ring 633 for fixing.

[0036] The working principle of the present invention is:

[0037] The device arranges multiple branch pipes 5 on both sides of the main pipe 4, and a compensation dripper 71 is installed on the branch pipe 5. The compensation dripper 71 is connected to the capillary tube 73, and a water outlet dripping tube 72 is installed on the capillary tube 73. At the same time, a bearing tube 61 installed at the position of the compensation dripper 71 is fixed on the branch pipe 5, and a support ring 65 is installed outside the bearing tube 61. A plurality of main support claws 62 are rotatably installed on the support ring 65. The main support claws 62 are hooked on the surrounding flower pots, and a dripping arrow 63 is rotatably installed on the main support claw 62. The dripping arrow 63 is installed with a plug-in tube 631, and the water outlet dripping tube 72 is inserted into the plug-in tube 631. The device uses multiple main support claws 62 to suspend the branch pipe 5 in mid-air, keeps the ground clean, and reduces the height difference between the branch pipe 5 and the dripping position, reduces the burden of the water pump 3, and improves the stability of the overall drip irrigation device.

[0038] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be considered as limiting the claim to which it relates.
