Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of slope ecological management, and in particular to a device for irrigating vegetation using air condensed water. Background Art

[0002] As one of China's important ecological barriers, the restoration of vegetation on the Loess Plateau is of great significance to protecting the country's ecological security and biodiversity. Restoring vegetation can significantly enhance the soil's ability to retain water and fertilizer, reduce soil erosion, and thus maintain the regional and global ecological balance.

[0003] The Loess Plateau is prone to natural disasters such as floods and mudslides due to severe soil erosion. Vegetation restoration can enhance vegetation coverage on hillsides, improve the ecological and environmental stability of the region, reduce the risk of natural disasters, and protect the lives and property of local residents. Vegetation restoration can conserve water resources, improve soil, increase ground cover, prevent soil erosion, and thus reduce soil nutrient loss and improve the efficiency of water resource utilization. The afforestation project effectively reduced the sediment content of the Yellow River and improved the transparency and water quality of the Yellow River. With the increase in vegetation coverage, soil erosion is controlled, and the sediment volume of the Yellow River is significantly reduced, thereby improving the water quality of the Yellow River.

[0004] Vegetation restoration can bring many of the above benefits. However, in the dry season, due to the scarcity of rainfall, vegetation faces a water shortage problem, and restoration work is particularly difficult. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new solution that can effectively replenish water for vegetation in the dry season to further promote the restoration of vegetation and the improvement of the ecological environment on the Loess Plateau. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the problem of water shortage faced by vegetation in the dry season due to scarce rainfall in the prior art, and to provide a device for irrigating vegetation using air condensed water.

[0006] The present invention provides a device for irrigating vegetation using air condensed water, comprising:

[0007] A condensation chamber, the condensation chamber comprising an air inlet, an air outlet and a water outlet, and the condensation chamber is used to condense water vapor in the air into water;

[0008] A water storage well, the water storage well being connected to the water outlet;

[0009] An irrigation pipeline is connected to the water storage well, and the irrigation pipeline is located on the surface of the soil layer and / or in the soil layer.

[0010] The present invention provides a device for irrigating vegetation using air condensation water, wherein the air inlet is used to send external air into the condensation chamber, the air is condensed in the condensation chamber, the water vapor in the air is condensed into water, and then the condensed air is discharged to the outside of the condensation chamber through the air outlet. The condensed water enters the water storage well through the water outlet for storage, and the water in the water storage well is transported to the surface of the soil layer or the soil layer through the irrigation pipeline to irrigate the vegetation planted on the soil layer, thereby solving the problem of water shortage faced by vegetation due to scarce rainfall in the dry season.

[0011] The condensation bin may use stored cold air, or a condensation device to cool and condense the air.

[0012] The water storage well can be installed at the same height as the condensing bin, or lower than the condensing bin. When the water storage well is installed at the same height as the condensing bin, a water pump can be used to transport the water in the condensing bin to the water storage well for storage. When the water storage well is lower than the condensing bin, the water in the condensing bin can flow into the water storage well by gravity and be stored.

[0013] The irrigation pipe may be installed only in the soil layer or only on the surface of the soil layer, or may be installed in the soil layer and on the surface of the soil layer at the same time.

[0014] The water in the water storage well can flow into the irrigation pipeline by gravity, or the water in the water storage well can be pumped into the irrigation pipeline by a water pump.

[0015] Preferably, the water outlet is located at the bottom of the condensation bin, and the water storage well is located lower than the water outlet. In this scheme, water droplets formed by condensation of water vapor in the air will gradually accumulate and flow to the bottom of the condensation bin due to the effect of gravity. Subsequently, these accumulated water droplets smoothly pass through the water outlet and eventually enter the water storage well through natural flow (i.e., gravity flow) without any external electric drive. The entire water collection process relies entirely on the gravity-driven gravity mechanism, realizing energy-free water resource collection.

[0016] Preferably, the air inlet is provided with an air pump. The function of the air pump is to effectively draw outside air into the condensation chamber through the air inlet. This process not only accelerates the speed at which outside air enters the condensation chamber, but also optimizes the circulation efficiency of the air, thereby improving the overall working efficiency of the condensation chamber.

[0017] Preferably, the condensing bin further comprises a compressor, a condenser, a condensing agent container and an evaporator. The outlet of the compressor is communicated with the condenser, the inlet of the compressor is communicated with the evaporator, and the condenser is communicated with the evaporator, so as to form a closed condensing circuit. The condensing agent container is communicated between the condenser and the evaporator. The evaporator is located in the condensing bin, and the condenser is located outside the condensing bin. The condensing agent container is used to load the condensing agent, and the condensing agent circulates in the compressor, the condenser, the condensing agent container and the evaporator in sequence.

[0018] In the evaporator, the condensing agent absorbs the surrounding heat and changes from liquid to gas. In this process, the condensing agent takes away the heat of the air in the condensing bin, which reduces the temperature of the air in the condensing bin and condenses the water vapor in the air into water. Subsequently, the gaseous condensing agent enters the compressor for compression. During the compression process, the temperature and pressure of the gaseous condensing agent increase. Next, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous condensing agent enters the condenser, where the gaseous condensing agent releases heat and becomes liquid. This heat release process will increase the temperature near the condenser. Finally, the liquid condensing agent returns to the evaporator and starts a new round of circulation. This solution can continuously cool the air in the condensing bin, has excellent refrigeration efficiency, and is conducive to improving the working efficiency of the entire device in the process of collecting water sources.

[0019] Preferably, it further comprises a solar panel, and the solar panel is used to provide electricity to the condensing bin. The solar panel can supply environmentally friendly and clean electricity to the condensing bin. This energy supply method not only reduces the maintenance cost of the condensing bin during operation, but also significantly reduces the dependence on and consumption of external traditional energy, and promotes the sustainability of energy use. The solar panel generates electricity to provide power for the device and drive the device to work, thereby reducing equipment maintenance costs and energy consumption.

[0020] Preferably, the water storage well is provided with a first water pump, and the first water pump is connected to the irrigation pipeline. The water storage well may be placed below the soil layer, and the first water pump can pump water in the water storage well into the irrigation pipeline, thereby ensuring that the vegetation above the soil layer can obtain a stable water supply.

[0021] Preferably, the first water pump is provided with a solar panel and a humidity sensor. The first water pump device uses the solar panel as its main energy source to provide continuous power support for the first water pump. In case of drought conditions, the humidity sensor can monitor the soil moisture level, and once it detects that the soil moisture drops below a preset threshold, it will automatically trigger the start-up mechanism of the first water pump. Subsequently, the first water pump starts to work, extracting the water resources stored in the water storage well and transporting it to the irrigation pipeline, thereby realizing an automated irrigation process and ensuring that vegetation can be promptly replenished with water even during periods of water shortage.

[0022] Preferably, it further comprises a pumping pipeline, a second water pump and a water storage channel, wherein both ends of the pumping pipeline are connected to the water storage channel and the water storage well respectively, and the second water pump is arranged on one end of the pumping pipeline close to the water storage channel, and the second water pump is used to pump water in the water storage channel into the water storage well. In the period of sufficient rainfall, the scheme can effectively transfer and store the water resources collected in the water storage channel into the water storage well through the second water pump and the pumping pipeline, so as to be used during the dry season when water resources are scarce.

[0023] Preferably, the second water pump is provided with a solar panel and a water level sensor. The second water pump device uses the solar panel as its main energy source to provide continuous power support for the second water pump. The water level sensor can monitor the water level in the water storage channel. Once it detects that the water level is higher than a preset threshold, it will automatically trigger the start-up mechanism of the second water pump. Subsequently, the second water pump starts to work, extracts water resources from the water storage channel and transports them to the water storage well, thereby realizing an automated rainwater collection process. The Loess Plateau has a warm temperate continental monsoon climate, with less precipitation and uneven seasonal distribution, with heavy rains in summer and cold and dry winters. In addition, the Loess Plateau has a complex terrain, gullies and ravines, poor water storage capacity, and precipitation is difficult to use effectively. This solution can effectively utilize the abundant rainwater resources in the rainy season and use them to irrigate vegetation in the dry season to ensure that vegetation receives the necessary water supply.

[0024] Preferably, a filter is provided at one end of the water pumping pipe close to the water storage channel. The filter is used to prevent silt or other debris from entering the water pumping pipe, thereby ensuring that the silt or other debris does not invade and damage the operating parts of the second water pump, and also prevents the silt or other debris from accumulating at the bottom of the water storage well.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] 1. The present invention provides a device for irrigating vegetation using air condensation water, wherein the water vapor in the air is condensed into water through the condensation chamber, and the condensed water enters the water storage well through the water outlet for storage, and the water in the water storage well is transported to the surface of the soil layer or the soil layer through the irrigation pipeline, so as to irrigate the vegetation planted on the soil layer, thereby solving the problem of water shortage faced by vegetation due to scarce rainfall in the dry season.
