Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of irrigation equipment, and particularly relates to an intelligent orchard irrigation device. Background Art

[0002] With the progress of agricultural technology, the modern management of orchards has gradually attracted attention; in the traditional orchard irrigation method, the method of directly laying water pipes at the bottom of fruit trees is usually adopted for irrigation operations. Although this method is simple and direct, it is accompanied by a series of problems and challenges; first of all, the pipes laid on the ground will not only hinder manual operations, such as pruning, fertilizing and other activities, but also be exposed outdoors for a long time, affected by ultraviolet radiation, climate change and wildlife activities, and are prone to aging or damage. Once the pipe is damaged, it may cause over-irrigation in local areas, thus affecting the healthy growth of fruit trees and the quality of fruits.

[0003] Another improved solution is to bury the irrigation pipes underground to reduce the occurrence of the above problems. However, this method also faces challenges; first of all, burying the pipes requires a large amount of earthwork, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, increasing the initial installation cost. Secondly, once the pipe system fails, locating and repairing underground pipes is a complex and laborious task, and the maintenance cost increases significantly. Summary of the Invention

[0028] See Figure 3As shown in the figure, the start-stop mechanism includes a travel sensor 801 and a controller 802; a travel sensor 801 is installed on the top of the driving vehicle 7, and the travel sensor 801 is used to detect the travel distance of the driving vehicle 7; a controller 802 is installed on the upper side of the driving vehicle 7, and the travel sensor 801 is electrically connected to the controller 802, and the controller 802 is used to control the start and stop of the driving vehicle 7.

[0029] See Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the shielding mechanism includes an electric push rod 1301 and a door panel 1302; electric push rods 1301 are symmetrically installed on the front and back of the box body 1; a door panel 1302 is connected between the telescopic rods of the two electric push rods 1301, and the door panel 1302 is used to shield the inside of the box body 1.

[0030] In use, first install the box body 1 at the designated position, and then dock the pipeline for conveying water source with a valve with the docking pipe 2. When it is necessary to irrigate the fruit trees in the orchard, drive the door panel 1302 to move upward to open by the electric push rod 1301. Then, drive the hollow reel 4 to rotate by the first motor 5, so that the hollow reel 4 pays out the water pipe 6. At the same time, control the driving vehicle 7 to start by the controller 802, so that the driving vehicle 7 moves to the left, so that the driving vehicle 7 leaves from the inside of the box body 1, and the driving vehicle 7 drives the water pipe 6 to be laid to the left, so that the water pipe 6 is laid beside the fruit trees. When the travel sensor 801 detects that the driving vehicle 7 has traveled a specified distance, the travel sensor 801 will send out a signal. After receiving the signal, the controller 802 will control the driving vehicle 7 to stop, so that the driving vehicle 7 stops at the designated position. Then, open the pipeline valve for conveying water source, so that the clear water in the pipeline enters the docking pipe 2, so that the clear water sequentially enters the inside of the hollow reel 4 and the water pipe 6 through the docking pipe 2, and then the clear water is sprayed onto the soil under the fruit trees through the water outlet holes on the water pipe 6, so as to irrigate the fruit trees. At the same time, use the water pressure sensor 11 to detect the water pressure in the water pipe 6. When the water pressure in the water pipe 6 is lower than the preset value of the water pressure sensor 11, it means that there may be a break and leakage somewhere in the water pipe 6. At this time, the water pressure sensor 11 will send out a signal, and the remote transmission module 12 will remotely send the signal to the control center after receiving the signal, so as to notify the staff in the control center to carry out maintenance in time, in case of over-irrigation in local areas, thus affecting the healthy growth of fruit trees and the quality of fruits. When the fruit trees are irrigated, close the pipeline valve for conveying water source, and then drive the hollow reel 4 to reverse and reset by the first motor 5, so that the hollow reel 4 winds up the water pipe 6. At the same time, drive the limit rod 10 to move back and forth by the electric slide rail 9, so that the limit rod 10 evenly guides the water pipe 6 onto the hollow reel 4, so that the water pipe 6 can be evenly wound up on the hollow reel 4. At the same time, control the driving vehicle 7 to start by the controller 802, so that the driving vehicle 7 moves to the right, so that the driving vehicle 7 returns to the inside of the box body 1 again. When the travel sensor 801 detects that the driving vehicle 7 has traveled a specified distance, the travel sensor 801 will send out a signal. After receiving the signal, the controller 802 will control the driving vehicle 7 to stop, so that the driving vehicle 7 stops at the designated position inside the box body 1. Finally, drive the door panel 1302 to move downward to close by the electric push rod 1301, so that the door panel 1302 shields the inside of the box body 1, so as to protect the water pipe 6 and the driving vehicle 7 inside the box body 1.

[0031] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in, there is also a ventilation mechanism, which includes a fan 15 and a blocking net 16; through holes 14 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the box body 1, a fan 15 is arranged in the through hole 14 at the rear side, and a blocking net 16 is arranged in the through hole 14 at the front side.

[0032] By setting up a ventilation mechanism, the fan 15 can be used to blow air to the inside of the box 1 through the through hole 14 on the rear side, so as to dry the inside of the box 1, thereby preventing the humid environment from affecting the service life of the inner parts of the box 1. The through hole 14 on the front side of the box 1 is used for air discharge to ensure air circulation in the box 1, and the blocking net 16 is used to prevent the creatures in the garden from entering the inside of the box 1.

[0033] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a pushing mechanism, which includes a connecting block 17 and a pushing block 18; the connecting block 17 is installed on the left side of the driving vehicle 7; the pushing block 18 is connected to the left side of the connecting block 17, and the front and rear parts of the left side of the pushing block 18 are two inclined surfaces with different inclinations. The pushing block 18 is used to push the debris to both sides.

[0034] By setting up the pushing mechanism, when the driving vehicle 7 moves to the left, the driving vehicle 7 will drive the connecting block 17 and the pushing block 18 to move synchronously. When the inclined surface on the pushing block 18 contacts the debris, the pushing block 18 will use the inclined surface to push the debris to the front and rear sides, so that the debris will not block the driving vehicle 7 from traveling.

[0035] See also Figure 6 As shown, a cutting mechanism is also included, which includes a second motor 19 and a blade 20; the second motor 19 is installed at the lower part of the front and rear sides of the connecting block 17; the blade 20 is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 19, and the blade 20 is used to cut the weeds.

[0036] By setting a cutting mechanism, when the driving vehicle 7 moves to the left, the second motor 19 can be used to drive the blade 20 to rotate. When the pushing block 18 contacts the weeds, the pushing block 18 will bend the weeds. When the bent weeds contact the blade 20, the blade 20 will cut the weeds. In this way, the weeds can be prevented from being rolled into the wheels of the driving vehicle 7 and affecting the driving. When the driving vehicle 7 stops at a designated position, the second motor 19 drives the blade 20 to stop rotating.

[0037] See also Figures 7 - 9 As shown, a cleaning mechanism is also included, which includes a partition 21, a hollow frame 22 and a wiping cotton 23; a partition 21 is installed in the middle of the inner side of the box body 1; a hollow frame 22 is installed in the middle of the right side of the partition 21, and circular holes are opened on the partition 21 and the hollow frame 22, and the circular holes are used for the water pipe 6 to pass through; a wiping cotton 23 is arranged on the inner side of the hollow frame 22, and the wiping cotton 23 is used to wipe the surface of the water pipe 6, so as to clean the debris attached to the surface of the water pipe 6.

[0038] See also Figures 7 - 10As shown in the figure, it further includes a flushing mechanism, which includes a fixed plate 24, a water tank 25, a water pump 26, an infusion tube 27, a return pipe 28, a sliding frame 29 and a filter screen 30; a fixed plate 24 is installed at the lower part of the front side of the box body 1; a water tank 25 is installed on the top of the fixed plate 24, and the top of the water tank 25 is a box cover. By picking up the box cover, the cleaning liquid can be added to the inner side of the water tank 25; a water pump 26 is installed at the lower rear side of the water tank 25, and the water inlet of the water pump 26 is communicated with the water tank 25; the water outlet of the water pump 26 is communicated with the hollow frame 22 through the infusion tube 27, and the water pump 26 is used to pump the cleaning liquid into the hollow frame 22 to flush the outer surface of the water pipe 6; the hollow frame 22 is communicated with the water tank 25 through the return pipe 28, and the return pipe 28 is used to return the cleaning liquid to the water tank 25; a sliding frame 29 is slidably arranged on the upper side of the water tank 25; a filter screen 30 is arranged in the sliding frame 29, and the filter screen 30 is used to filter the returned cleaning liquid.

[0039] By setting up the cleaning mechanism and the flushing mechanism, during use, the cleaning liquid can be added to the inner side of the water tank 25 to make the inner side of the water tank 25 contain an appropriate amount of cleaning liquid; when the hollow drum 4 winds up the water pipe 6, the water pipe 6 will continuously pass through the round holes on the partition plate 21 and the hollow frame 22. At this time, the wiping cotton 23 will wipe the outer surface of the water pipe 6 to clean the outer surface of the water pipe 6. At the same time, the water pump 26 is used to pump the cleaning liquid in the water tank 25 into the hollow frame 22 through the infusion tube 27 to flush the outer surface of the water pipe 6, and the sundries wiped off by the wiping cotton 23 are flushed into the return pipe 28 from the hollow frame 22, so that the cleaning liquid after flushing will bring the sundries into the water tank 25 through the return pipe 28, and the filter screen 30 filters the cleaning liquid and sundries after flushing, so that the cleaning liquid after flushing flows back into the water tank 25 for recycling, and the sundries remain on the filter screen 30. After that, when the hollow drum 4 finishes winding up the water pipe 6, the sliding frame 29 can be pulled out forward, then the sundries on the filter screen 30 can be cleaned up, and then the sliding frame 29 can be pushed back to its original position.
