[0029] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the efficient water-saving irrigation intelligent control system of the present invention includes a central analysis control module, and the efficient water-saving irrigation intelligent control system is configured as follows:

[0031] A sensor module, connected to the central analysis and control module, is used to monitor the environmental parameters of the land in real time;

[0032] The remote monitoring module is connected to the central analysis and control module to help users remotely view system status, modify control parameters, set irrigation strategies, and monitor and manage the system in real time;

[0033] The irrigation module, which is connected to the central analysis and control module, implements the key part of the actual irrigation operation;

[0034] A rainwater collection module, connected to the central analysis and control module, for collecting and utilizing rainwater;

[0035] The auxiliary module is connected to the central analysis and control module and is used to display the plant status to the user through methods including but not limited to videos and pictures.

[0036] The sensor module monitors environmental parameters such as soil moisture and transmits the data to the central analysis and control module, which then receives the data and evaluates the current irrigation demand. If the soil moisture is lower than the set threshold, the system decides to start the irrigation module. The irrigation module receives the instruction, starts irrigation, and feeds back the water consumption to the central analysis and control module. At the same time, the rainwater collection module reports the water storage capacity. If the amount is sufficient, the system can adjust the strategy to give priority to rainwater. Users can view real-time data through the remote monitoring module and modify the irrigation strategy when necessary. Similarly, the auxiliary module can provide real-time monitoring of plant status to help users make timely adjustments.

[0037] See also Figure 5 ,The sensor module is configured as a soil moisture sensor, a meteorological sensor, a plant growth sensor, a pH sensor, and a wireless communication unit.

[0038] Specifically, soil moisture data is collected in real time through soil moisture sensors, and meteorological data such as air temperature and humidity are collected through meteorological sensors to help the central analysis and control module analyze irrigation needs;

[0039] At the same time, if the central analysis and control module concludes that there will be rainfall in the next few days based on the data collected by the meteorological sensor, it can make intelligent adjustments to suspend the irrigation plan for the next few days, and then determine whether to irrigate again based on the data provided by the soil moisture sensor after the rainfall.

[0040] The plant growth status is detected by plant growth sensors, such as detecting the moisture content of leaves, etc., to help the central analysis and control module analyze and determine the water requirement of plants, intelligently adjust irrigation strategies, and monitor the pH of the soil through PH sensors;

[0041] The wireless communication unit is connected to each sensor and transmits the data monitored by each sensor to the central analysis and control module. At the same time, the wireless communication unit also transmits the sensor data to the remote monitoring module for user viewing and monitoring.

[0042] See also Figure 6 The irrigation module is configured as an irrigation device, an irrigation control unit, a flow monitoring unit, an irrigation mode selection unit, and an irrigation alarm unit.

[0043] The irrigation equipment mentioned above refers to water pumps, valves, sprinklers, etc. in the prior art. The specific quantity and installation conditions are arranged according to the land conditions and the plants planted.

[0044] Specifically, the irrigation control unit is responsible for receiving irrigation instructions from the central analysis and control module, deciding when and how to irrigate, and controlling the opening and closing of irrigation equipment such as water pumps and valves.

[0045] Real-time monitoring of water flow through the flow monitoring unit ensures that the amount of water during irrigation meets the preset target;

[0046] Similarly, the irrigation mode selection unit is connected to the remote control module, allowing the user to select different irrigation modes such as drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, flood irrigation, etc., and adjust them according to plant needs and environmental conditions;

[0047] Furthermore, the irrigation alarm unit monitors the operating status of the irrigation equipment, detects faults in a timely manner, transmits signals to the central analysis and control module, and feeds back to the remote monitoring module, so that users can make maintenance adjustments according to specific circumstances.

[0048] Furthermore, when the central analysis and control module analyzes the data transmitted by each sensor and concludes that the plants need to be irrigated, the central analysis and control module transmits an irrigation instruction to the irrigation control unit, and cooperates with the irrigation mode selection unit to select a suitable irrigation mode, and then cooperates with the irrigation equipment and the flow monitoring unit to monitor the process in real time while irrigating;

[0049] See also Figure 3 The rainwater collection module is configured as a rainwater collection unit, a filtering unit, a water storage unit, and a pump control unit.

[0050] Furthermore, the rainwater collection unit collects rainwater from the roof and the ground, and cooperates with the filtering unit to remove impurities such as leaves and soil in the rainwater during the transportation of the collected rainwater, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the stored water;

[0051] Furthermore, the rainwater passing through the rainwater collection unit and the filtering unit is stored in the water storage unit and used as one of the irrigation water sources in the subsequent irrigation process, thereby further saving water resources;

[0052] At the same time, the pump control unit can detect the water level in the water storage unit and send the water level information to the central analysis and control module, which will intelligently analyze and determine whether to use the water resources in the water storage unit during the next irrigation.

[0053] The pump control unit can also control the valves in the water storage unit. When water in the water storage unit is needed for irrigation, the central analysis and control module gives instructions to the pump control unit, thereby controlling the water valves in the water storage unit and using the water resources in the water storage unit for irrigation.

[0054] See also Figure 2 The auxiliary module is configured as an image acquisition unit, an image data processing unit, and a notification alarm unit.

[0055] Specifically, the image acquisition unit collects images or videos of plant growth, and then the image data processing unit analyzes the collected image data to identify the growth status, health status and potential problems of the plants such as pests and diseases, water shortage, etc., and transmits the collected data to the central analysis and control module. At the same time, the data is also uploaded to the remote monitoring module, so that users can view the growth status of plants in real time.

[0056] Similarly, when the image data processing unit analyzes that an abnormality occurs during plant growth, it sends an alarm signal to the remote monitoring module by notifying the alarm unit, so that the user can collect the abnormal plant growth situation in time and make corresponding adjustments.

[0057] See also Figure 4 ,The remote monitoring module is configured as a remote control unit, a cloud storage unit, and a user interface unit.

[0058] Specifically, the information transmitted by each sensor and the data analyzed by the central analysis and control module are stored in the cloud storage unit, so that users can check historical data at any time. At the same time, the user interface unit can display real-time images of plant growth status, analysis results and related suggestions, as well as irrigation status, historical data and real-time monitoring information in the irrigation module to users;

[0059] Furthermore, the remote control unit allows users to switch system operation modes conveniently. Users can choose to have the system intelligently allocate irrigation or actively choose irrigation. When users choose irrigation on their own, the central analysis and control module can be selected to provide users with irrigation suggestions and carry out irrigation. Users can also send instructions to the central analysis and control module to independently determine the irrigation mode and time.

[0060] At the same time, users can adjust and set the thresholds of each sensor during the monitoring process through the remote control unit, and can also adjust the thresholds of the flow monitoring unit, so that users can collect information on abnormal plant growth in a timely manner.

[0061] See also Figure 6 , the irrigation module is connected with the remote monitoring module.

[0062] Furthermore, during the irrigation process, if the irrigation alarm unit detects that the irrigation equipment has a fault, a signal is transmitted to the user interface unit and the central analysis and control module. At the same time, the central analysis and control module suspends the current irrigation after analyzing the past data, and then the irrigation equipment fault can be recorded in the cloud storage unit;

[0063] Irrigation is carried out again through analysis and regulation by the central analysis and control module.

[0064] See also Figure 2 , the auxiliary module is connected to the remote monitoring module.

[0065] The image acquisition unit in the auxiliary module transmits the acquired image information to the user interface unit and the cloud storage unit, so that the user can check the plant growth status at any time and check the past plant growth information at any time;

[0066] Similarly, after collecting the information processed by the image data processing unit, the central analysis and control module analyzes and determines the plant growth status by comparing the plant growth status, and sends the plant growth status to the user interface unit and the cloud storage unit for users to access at any time.

[0067] During the operation of this embodiment, the sensor module monitors soil moisture and environmental parameters in real time to ensure that irrigation is carried out only when necessary, thereby minimizing water waste. At the same time, the central analysis and control module integrates the data of each module, automatically optimizes the irrigation strategy, provides intelligent decision-making support, and improves management efficiency. Similarly, users can view the system status at any time through the remote monitoring module, modify control parameters, flexibly respond to various environmental changes, and increase management convenience. The auxiliary module can also display the status of plants through videos and pictures, helping users to intuitively understand plant health and take timely measures. The water collection module can effectively collect and utilize rainwater to reduce dependence on groundwater and tap water.
