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] The object of the present invention is to provide a spray device with adjustable spray range to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, and to change the position of the adjustable nozzle and to combine the structure of the adjustable nozzle itself, so as to effectively adjust its spray range.

[0027] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a spray device with an adjustable spray range, including a supporting wall frame 1. Generally speaking, the supporting wall frame 1 is a steel frame structure and is fixed to the wall, and the potted plant stand for placing plants can be installed on the side of the supporting wall frame 1 away from the wall. An upper top plate 2 is provided at the upper end of the supporting wall frame 1, and the upper top plate 2 is arranged vertically to the wall surface. A plurality of fixed nozzles 8 are provided on the lower surface of the upper top plate 2, and the fixed nozzles 8 are used to spray the roots of the plants below it. A movable horizontal plate 5 is slidably connected to the upper end of the upper top plate 2, and the movable horizontal plate 5 is connected to a transverse driving device, and the transverse driving device is used to drive the movable horizontal plate 5 to move horizontally on the upper top plate 2. A lifting and telescopic device 6 is fixed to the lower surface of the movable horizontal plate 5, and the end of the lifting and telescopic device 6 away from the movable horizontal plate 5 is connected to a support plate 7, and the lifting and telescopic device 6 can drive the support plate 7 to move up and down, and an adjustment nozzle 11 is provided on the support plate 7.

[0029] The specific structure of the regulating nozzle 11 is as follows Figure 3 As shown, the regulating nozzle 11 comprises a hollow cylindrical nozzle housing 1101, one end of the nozzle housing 1101 ( Figure 3 The middle and lower end) is equipped with a water inlet, and the other end ( Figure 3A water outlet is provided at the middle and upper end of the nozzle housing 1101. A rotating adjustment column 1105 is rotatably connected to the water outlet of the nozzle housing 1101. It is not difficult to see from the figure that an annular protrusion is provided near the water outlet of the nozzle housing 1101, and an annular groove is provided on the outer wall of the rotating adjustment column 1105. The rotating adjustment column 1105 and the nozzle housing 1101 are rotatably connected through the cooperation of the annular groove and the annular protrusion. The inner cavity of the rotating adjustment column 1105 is provided with an annular partition plate 1106, and the partition plate 1106 divides the inner cavity of the rotating adjustment column 1105 into an inner circle water storage cavity and an outer circle water storage cavity, and the inner circle water storage cavity is located on the inner side of the outer circle water storage cavity. The end surface of the rotating adjustment column 1105 away from the water inlet of the nozzle housing 1101 is provided with a plurality of annularly distributed inner circle spray holes and a plurality of annularly distributed outer circle spray holes, and the outer circle spray holes are located on the outer side of the inner circle spray holes. Each inner ring spray hole is connected to the inner ring water storage chamber, that is, the water in the inner ring water storage chamber is finally sprayed out by the inner ring spray hole, and each outer ring spray hole is connected to the outer ring water storage chamber, that is, the water in the outer ring water storage chamber is finally sprayed out by the outer ring spray hole. An adjustment fixing plate 1102 is also fixed in the nozzle housing 1101, and an outer ring through hole 1103 and an inner ring through hole 1104 are provided on the adjustment fixing plate 1102. The outer ring water storage chamber and the inner ring water storage chamber are provided with an outer ring connecting hole and an inner ring connecting hole on one side close to the adjustment fixing plate 1102. The outer ring through hole 1103 can be connected to the outer ring water storage chamber through the outer ring connecting hole, and the inner ring through hole 1104 can be connected to the inner ring water storage chamber through the inner ring connecting hole. It should be noted that when the inner ring through hole 1104 is connected to the inner ring water storage chamber, that is, the inner ring through hole 1104 is opposite to the inner ring connecting hole, at this time, the outer ring through hole 1103 is not opposite to the outer ring connecting hole, that is, the outer ring through hole 1103 is not connected to the outer ring water storage chamber; on the contrary, when the outer ring through hole 1103 is connected to the outer ring water storage chamber, that is, the outer ring through hole 1103 is opposite to the outer ring connecting hole, at this time, the inner ring through hole 1104 is not opposite to the inner ring connecting hole, that is, the inner ring through hole 1104 is not connected to the inner ring water storage chamber. To achieve this purpose, when setting the outer ring through hole 1103 (and the outer ring connecting hole) and the inner ring through hole 1104 (and the inner ring connecting hole), it is necessary to ensure that the centers of the outer ring through hole 1103, the inner ring through hole 1104 and the adjustment fixing plate 1102 are not collinear.

[0030] In addition, a controller may be added, and the lateral drive device and the lifting and retracting device 6 are electrically connected to the controller, so as to realize remote control by the user. The controller includes but is not limited to the existing PLC controller or single chip microcomputer controller.

[0031] In actual use, the horizontal lateral position of the adjusting nozzle 11 can be adjusted by starting the transverse driving device, and the vertical position of the adjusting nozzle 11 can be adjusted by starting the lifting and telescopic device 6, so that the adjusting nozzle 11 can reach the front of the plant that needs to be sprayed. Then, by twisting the rotating adjusting column 1105, it can be adjusted whether the outer circle through hole 1103 is connected to the outer circle water storage chamber or the inner circle through hole 1104 is connected to the inner circle water storage chamber. When the outer circle through hole 1103 is connected to the outer circle water storage chamber, the outer circle spray hole performs spraying work, and when the inner circle through hole 1104 is connected to the inner circle water storage chamber, the inner circle spray hole performs spraying work, and the spray range of the outer circle spray hole is larger than the spray range of the inner circle spray hole, and the user can adjust it according to actual needs. During the entire spraying process, the adjusting nozzle 11 is used to spray the surface of the plant, and the fixed nozzle 8 will spray the roots of the plant, so as to perform a full-scale spraying operation on the plant wall.

[0032] In this embodiment, a slide rail 201 is provided on the upper surface of the upper top plate 2, and a slider is provided on the lower surface of the movable cross plate 5. The slider is provided with a slide groove matching the slide rail 201, so as to realize the sliding connection between the slider and the slide rail 201. Further, the cross section of the slide groove on the slider is the same as the cross section of the slide rail 201, and is preferably a special-shaped cross section, including but not limited to a T-shape, so as to prevent the slider from falling off from one side of the slide rail 201, so that the slider always moves along the length direction of the slide rail 201.

[0033] In this embodiment, the transverse driving device is a driving hydraulic cylinder, which is fixed to one side of the length direction of the upper top plate 2, and the telescopic direction of the driving hydraulic cylinder is parallel to the length direction of the upper top plate 2. The telescopic end of the driving hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the middle of the slider through a connecting plate. In actual use, the slider and the movable transverse plate 5 above it can move back and forth along the slide rail 201 through the telescopic movement of the telescopic end of the driving hydraulic cylinder.

[0034] In this embodiment, a motor bracket 9 is fixed to the support plate 7 by screws, and an angle adjustment motor 10 is fixed to the motor bracket 9. A connecting rod 12 is fixedly connected to the two ends of the outside of the adjustment nozzle 11, and the two connecting rods 12 are rotatably connected to the motor bracket 9. Specifically, a vertical plate is provided at each end of the motor bracket 9, and each vertical plate is provided with a bearing and is rotatably connected to a connecting rod 12 through the bearing. The output shaft of the angle adjustment motor 10 is transmission-connected to one of the connecting rods 12. When the angle adjustment motor 10 is started, the output shaft of the angle adjustment motor 10 will drive the connecting rod 12 connected thereto to rotate, and then the connecting rod 12 will drive the adjustment nozzle 11 and the other connecting rod 12 to rotate synchronously, so as to adjust the spraying angle of the adjustment nozzle 11, so that it can spray from the desired angle, thereby further increasing the spraying range of the adjustment nozzle 11.

[0035] In this embodiment, a water collecting tank 3 is provided at the lower end of the supporting wall frame 1, and the lower end of the potted plant support is located in the water collecting tank 3. The water dripping from the plants installed on the potted plant support will eventually flow into the water collecting tank 3, thereby avoiding water waste.

[0036] In this embodiment, a water tank 4 is also included. A water inlet of the water tank 4 is connected to the water collection tank 3 through a return pipe 401, and the water in the water collection tank 3 flows into the water tank 4 through the return pipe 401. The water outlet of the water tank 4 is connected to each fixed nozzle 8 through a spray pipe 402, so that the water in the water tank 4 can be used for spraying plants again, thereby forming a water circulation system to avoid wasting water resources. The water tank 4 is connected to a water source through a water supply pipe 403, and the water source can be a tap water pipe. When the water in the water tank 4 is less, the water source will replenish water to the water tank 4 through the water supply pipe 403 for spraying plants.

[0037] In this embodiment, since the position of the adjustment nozzle 11 often changes, the water spray pipe 402 needs to be connected to the adjustment nozzle 11 through a connecting hose 1107, and the flexibility of the connecting hose 1107 is used to ensure that the water spray pipe 402 and the adjustment nozzle 11 are always connected.

[0038] In this embodiment, a liquid level sensor is provided in the water tank 4, and the liquid level sensor is used to monitor the liquid level height in the water tank 4. When the liquid level in the water tank 4 is lower than a certain value, the water source switch can be turned on to replenish water to the water tank 4 in time through the water replenishment pipe 403.

[0039] In this embodiment, a water pump 404 is provided on the water spray pipe 402 , and the water pump 404 provides power for the water spray pipe 402 , so that the water in the water storage tank 4 can be pumped out.

[0040] In this embodiment, the lifting and telescopic device 6 is a hydraulic cylinder, and two, four or more hydraulic cylinders can be specifically provided. The fixed end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixed to the lower surface of the movable horizontal plate 5, and the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixed to the support plate 7. The telescopic movement of the hydraulic cylinder can drive the support plate 7 and various structures above it to move up and down synchronously. In addition, those skilled in the art can also replace the hydraulic cylinder with a device capable of linear telescopic movement, such as a pneumatic cylinder or an electric telescopic rod.

[0041] The present invention uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The above examples are only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the ideas of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
