The casing is installed on the outside of the drainage pipe so that the casing can block the drainage hole when the drainage pipe is not in use, preventing soil from entering the drainage pipe.

[0023] 2. This smart agricultural precision irrigation method rotates the casing relative to the drain pipe so that the drainage holes of the drain pipe and the casing are aligned. The flexible rod in the dredging component moves out of the casing and moves in the soil, so that the flexible rod can loosen the internal structure of the soil and ensure that water can penetrate smoothly into the soil.

[0024] 3. This smart agricultural precision irrigation method intermittently pulls the swing rod through the first pull rope, causing the swing rod to move up and down, thereby enabling the crushing ball at the end of the swing rod to crush the soil surface, preventing the hardened surface soil from hindering the normal infiltration of water and improving the crop irrigation effect.

[0036] Example: Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7, a smart agricultural precision irrigation method, comprising the following steps:

[0037] S1: Obtain the target crop varieties in the irrigation area;

[0038] S2: According to the target variety, obtain any period of the sowing period, seedling period, growth period and maturity period corresponding to the target crop;

[0039] S3: Use the sensor assembly to monitor soil moisture and meteorological weather;

[0040] S4: Preset irrigation amount for target crops based on their corresponding growth cycle, soil humidity, and weather conditions;

[0041] S5: Use irrigation equipment to precisely irrigate target crops with preset irrigation water volumes.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the irrigation equipment in S5 includes several water pipes 1, a connecting pipe 2 is provided between two adjacent water pipes 1, a drainage pipe 3 is fixed on each water pipe 1, a sleeve 4 is rotatably connected to the outside of the drainage pipe 3, matching drainage holes 5 are opened on the drainage pipe 3 and the sleeve 4, a conical head 401 is fixed on the bottom of the sleeve 4, and a dredging component for dredging the soil and a crushing component for crushing the hardened soil on the surface of the soil are provided on the sleeve 4.

[0043] Furthermore, the dredging component includes a shell 6 fixed on the lower side of the water pipe 1, the sleeve 4 is rotatably connected to the shell 6, the water pipe 1 is provided with a drive motor 7 through a fixed seat, the output shaft of the drive motor 7 is connected to a screw rod 701, the screw rod 701 is threadedly connected to a sleeve 702, the sleeve 702 is connected to a lifting plate 8, the bottom of the lifting plate 8 is fixed with a flexible rod body 801, and the sleeve 4 is provided with a track groove 9 for the flexible rod body 801 to slide.

[0044] Furthermore, the track groove 9 includes a vertical groove 901 opened along the axial direction of the sleeve 4 and an oblique groove 902 arranged obliquely to the vertical groove 901 , and the vertical groove 901 and the oblique groove 902 are connected to each other.

[0045] Furthermore, a guide tube 10 slidably connected to the sleeve 4 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the lifting plate 8 , and the bendable rod 801 is placed in the guide tube 10 .

[0046] Furthermore, a driving wheel 7011 is fixed to the bottom of the screw rod 701 , a driven gear 402 meshing with the driving wheel 7011 is fixed to the outer wall of the sleeve 4 , and an arcuate groove 7021 for the lifting plate 8 to rotate is opened on the sleeve 702 .

[0047] Furthermore, the crushing assembly includes a first rotating rod 11 rotatably connected to the casing 4, and a first reel 111 and a secondary bevel gear 112 are provided on the first rotating rod 11. An incomplete gear ring 6011 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the outer casing 6 and intermittently meshed with the secondary bevel gear 112. A first pull rope 1111 is wound around the first reel 111, and the end of the first pull rope 1111 away from the first reel 111 passes through the outer casing 6 and is connected to the swing rod 12. One end of the swing rod 12 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the casing 4 through a pin shaft, and a crushing ball 1221 is provided at the end of the swing rod 12 away from the casing 4.

[0048] Specifically, several sleeves 4 are inserted into the soil through the conical heads 401, and the drainage pipes 3 are moved into the soil along with the sleeves 4. The first water guide pipe 1 is connected to the water valve. When it is necessary to irrigate the crops, the water valve is opened, and water flows in the water guide pipe 1 and the connecting pipe 2. At the same time, the drive motor 7 is controlled to operate, and the output shaft of the drive motor 7 drives the screw rod 701 to rotate, and the sleeve 702 moves downward along the axis of the screw rod 701. When the sleeve 702 moves downward, a downward pressure is applied to the lifting plate 8, and the lifting plate 8 drives the flexible rod 801 to retract into the sleeve 4. The guide tube 10 can guide the portion of the flexible rod 801 located above the sleeve 4 to prevent the flexible rod 801 from bending and deforming before retracting into the sleeve 4. The flexible rod 801 moves out of the sleeve 4 along the track groove 9. The flexible rod 801 can loosen the internal structure of the soil to ensure that the water can penetrate smoothly into the soil later.

[0049] When the screw rod 701 rotates, the driving wheel 7011 at the bottom engages with the driven gear 402, and the driven gear 402 drives the sleeve 4 to rotate relative to the drainage pipe 3. When the sleeve 4 rotates, it drives the flexible rod 801 to further disturb the internal structure of the soil;

[0050] When the sleeve 4 rotates, it drives the first rotating rod 11 to move, and the secondary bevel gear 112 on the first rotating rod 11 is intermittently meshed with the incomplete gear ring 6011 for transmission. When the secondary bevel gear 112 is not meshed with the incomplete gear ring 6011, the first drum 111 releases the first pull rope 1111, and the swing rod 12 automatically moves downward under the weight of the crushing ball 1221 at the end, and the crushing ball 1221 knocks and crushes the surface soil. When the secondary bevel gear 112 is meshed with the incomplete gear ring 6011, the first drum 111 reels the first pull rope 1111 again, so that the crushing ball 1221 is away from the soil surface. As the sleeve 4 rotates, the crushing ball 1221 crushes the surface soil in the circumferential direction one by one, thereby preventing the hardened surface soil from hindering the normal infiltration of water, thereby improving the crop irrigation effect.

[0051] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the shell 6 includes a main shell 601 fixedly connected to the water pipe 1 and a rotating plate 602 rotatably connected to the bottom of the main shell 601, and the sleeve 4 is slidably connected to the rotating plate 602; specifically, the rotating plate 602 can rotate with the sleeve 4, while ensuring that the shell 6 is closed and the internal structure of the shell 6 is protected, preventing the shell 6 from affecting the movement of the first pull rope 1111.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the sleeve 4 is also rotatably connected to a second rotating rod 13, and the second rotating rod 13 is provided with a second reel 131 and a secondary bevel gear 2 132, and the secondary bevel gear 2 132 is intermittently meshed with the incomplete gear ring 6011, and a second pull rope 1311 is wound around the second reel 131. The end of the second pull rope 1311 away from the second reel 131 passes through the outer shell 6 and is connected to the swing rod 12. The swing rod 12 includes a main rod body 121 rotatably connected to the sleeve 4 and a movable rod 122 slidably connected to the main rod body 121 and connected to the crushing ball 1221. One end of the second pull rope 1311 is connected to the movable rod 122.

[0053] Specifically, when the casing 4 rotates, it drives the second rotating rod 13 to move, and the secondary bevel gear 2 132 on the second rotating rod 13 is intermittently meshed with the incomplete gear ring 6011 for transmission. When the secondary bevel gear 2 132 is meshed with the incomplete gear ring 6011, the second drum 131 reels the second pull rope 1311, so that the movable rod 122 is forced to slide into the main rod body 121. When the secondary bevel gear 2 132 is no longer meshed with the incomplete gear ring 6011, the second drum 131 releases the second pull rope 1311, and the movable rod 122 automatically moves downward under the action of its own gravity, and cooperates with the swing rod 12 to swing back and forth as a whole, so that the crushing ball 1221 can crush the surface soil at different radial positions from the casing 4, thereby improving the soil crushing effect and further improving the water infiltration effect, thereby ensuring the irrigation effect.

[0054] Reference Figure 1As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the sensor assembly in S3 includes a humidity sensor and a meteorological sensor. The humidity sensor is arranged at the bottom of the sleeve 4, and the meteorological sensor is arranged on the water pipe 1. Specifically, the humidity sensor can monitor the humidity in the soil, and the meteorological sensor can monitor the weather, so as to understand the drought situation of the crops and facilitate the preset irrigation amount for the target crops. The humidity sensor and the meteorological sensor are existing technologies and are not shown in the figure, so they will not be described in detail here.
