Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The current drip irrigation technology has been widely used in the field of agricultural seedling cultivation, but there are still some key problems to be solved in the context of seedling cultivation.

[0003] The diameter of the drip irrigation ring cannot be dynamically adjusted with the expansion of the seedling root system, resulting in a mismatch between the irrigation area and the root growth range. Tests show that the average daily expansion speed of tomato seedling roots during the growth period is 0.8-1.2 cm, and the fixed radius of the traditional drip irrigation ring will cause 30% of the irrigation water to act on the invalid area, resulting in waste of water resources; the same drip irrigation ring is difficult to adapt to different diameters of seedling stems, and when the stem diameter is greater than the inner diameter of the drip irrigation ring, the installation process is easy to damage the young stems; when the stem diameter is less than the inner diameter, the drip irrigation ring cannot be stably fixed, resulting in irrigation deviation. The traditional drip irrigation head is directly exposed to the air, especially in the high-temperature environment of the greenhouse, and the water evaporation loss rate is as high as 22%-28%. And the existing technology uses uniformly distributed drippers, but does not consider the hydrotaxis characteristics of seedling root growth.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0034] The limiting ring belt 4 comprises a first limiting ring belt 41, a second limiting ring belt 42 and a third limiting ring belt 43, the first limiting ring belt 41 is fixed to the bottom end of the first short connecting shaft 25, the second limiting ring belt 42 is fixed to the bottom end of the second short connecting shaft 26, and the third limiting ring belt 43 is fixed to the bottom end of the long connecting shaft 27.

[0035] The drip irrigation submain comprises a first drip irrigation submain 31 and a second drip irrigation submain 32, and the first drip irrigation submain 31 and the second drip irrigation submain 32 are arranged around the positions directly below the first connecting rod 21, the second connecting rod 22, the third connecting rod 23 and the fourth connecting rod 24.

[0036] The first drip irrigation submain 31 and the second drip irrigation submain 32 are first inserted into the third limiting ring belt 43 in opposite directions, then are dispersed in a cross manner, the first drip irrigation submain 31 penetrates the first limiting ring belt 41, the second drip irrigation submain 32 penetrates the second limiting ring belt 42, then the first drip irrigation submain 31 and the second drip irrigation submain 32 meet and are inserted into the third limiting ring belt 43 of the adjacent connecting rod assembly 2 in opposite directions, then are dispersed in a cross manner again, the first drip irrigation submain 31 penetrates the second limiting ring belt 42 of the adjacent connecting rod assembly 2, the second drip irrigation submain 32 penetrates the first limiting ring belt 41, then meets and is inserted into the third limiting ring belt 43 of the next connecting rod assembly 2 in opposite directions, and the above process is repeated until the first drip irrigation submain 31 and the second drip irrigation submain 32 are arranged around and are taken out from the third limiting ring belt 43 which is first inserted.

[0037] The bottoms of the first drip irrigation submain 31 and the second drip irrigation submain 32 are arranged with drip irrigation openings 33, and one drip irrigation opening 33 is arranged below each of the first connecting rod 21, the second connecting rod 22, the third connecting rod 23 and the fourth connecting rod 24.

[0038] The outer part of each drip irrigation port 33 is provided with a support cover 5, which is fixed to the bottom of the first and second drip irrigation sub-pipes 31 and 32. The support cover 5 has a vertical inverted conical structure, and is hollow and penetrates through the upper and lower parts. The bottom end of the support cover 5 abuts against the surface of the culture soil 11. The support cover 5 is made of weather-resistant ABS material, has a height of 30-50 mm, and a bottom contact surface with a diameter of 10-20 mm.

[0039] Specifically, the support cover 5 has the following functions. First, the connecting rod assembly 2 and the first and second drip irrigation sub-pipes 31 and 32 are supported on the surface of the culture soil 11 to facilitate drip irrigation of the seedlings 12. Second, the support cover 5 can prevent the small drip irrigation ports 33 from being blocked by the soil due to direct contact between the drip irrigation ports 33 and the culture soil 11. The bottom end of the support cover 5 is provided with a protective net 51, which can further protect the drip irrigation ports 33 from being blocked by the soil. The protective net 51 is made of a 200-mesh stainless steel filter screen, which can block particles with a particle size greater than 0.075 mm. Third, the water droplets flowing out of the drip irrigation ports 33 penetrate into the culture soil 11 after flowing through the support cover 5. The support cover 5 prevents the water droplets from being directly exposed to the external air, greatly reduces the evaporation of water, and improves the irrigation efficiency.

[0040] The pot along position of the culture pot 1 is provided with a positioning assembly 6, which is provided with two groups and is rotationally symmetrical. The positioning assembly 6 includes an L-shaped clamping plate 61, a moving clamping plate 62, and an adjusting rod 63. The L-shaped clamping plate 61 and the moving clamping plate 62 are matched and form an inverted U-shaped structure. The L-shaped clamping plate 61 and the moving clamping plate 62 are used to clamp the pot along position. The top of the L-shaped clamping plate 61 is provided with a mounting groove 64, in which a screw rod 65 is horizontally arranged. The top of the moving clamping plate 62 penetrates into the mounting groove 64 and is threadedly connected with the screw rod 65. The moving clamping plate 62 and the L-shaped clamping plate 61 are slidingly connected. The end of the screw rod 65 penetrates out of the L-shaped clamping plate 61 and is connected with a first knob 66. The top of the L-shaped clamping plate 61 is fixedly connected with a connecting column 67. The connecting column 67 is rotationally connected with one end of the adjusting rod 63. The other end of the adjusting rod 63 is rotationally connected with the first short connecting shaft 25. The top outer wall of the connecting column 67 is provided with an external thread. The connecting column 67 is rotationally connected with a second knob 68 provided with an internal thread.

[0041] Specifically, the inner diameter of the irrigation ring area 7 is adjusted by simultaneously adjusting the two adjusting rods 63. When the adjusting rods 63 are pushed outward, the two first short connecting shafts 25 are moved in opposite directions, respectively. Due to the linkage of the connecting rods, the first connecting rods 21, the second connecting rods 22, the third connecting rods 23, and the fourth connecting rods 24 are simultaneously stretched outward, thereby causing the first drip irrigation sub-pipes 31 and the second drip irrigation sub-pipes 32 to stretch outward, causing the irrigation ring area 7 to expand outward, and causing the drip irrigation openings 33 to cooperate with the support cover 5 to irrigate the external root system. In the opposite direction, the same principle applies. The adjusting rods 63 can achieve stepless adjustment of the diameter of the irrigation ring area 7 within a range of 10-50 cm. When adjusted to the appropriate position, the adjusting rods 63 are tightened against the L-shaped clamping plate 61 by tightening the second knob 68, thereby limiting the expansion of the first connecting rods 21, the second connecting rods 22, the third connecting rods 23, and the fourth connecting rods 24, and causing the irrigation ring area 7 to remain in the current position.

[0042] The water inlets and outlets of the first drip irrigation sub-pipes 31 and the second drip irrigation sub-pipes 32 are provided with clamping joints 81, which are connected to the total drip irrigation pipe 8. The clamping joints 81 are quick-connection silicone sealed joints with built-in double O-ring seals, and the outer diameter tolerance is controlled within ±0.1 mm, which can withstand water pressure of 0.3-2 MPa without leakage. The total drip irrigation pipe 8 is a segmented water pipe. One end of each total drip irrigation pipe 8 is connected to the water outlets of the first drip irrigation sub-pipes 31 and the second drip irrigation sub-pipes 32, and the other end is connected to the water inlets of the first drip irrigation sub-pipes 31 and the second drip irrigation sub-pipes 32 arranged in the adjacent culture pots 1, achieving series irrigation of each culture pot 1. Under the premise of ensuring uniform water supply to the root system of the seedlings 12, the number of pots connected in series by a single irrigation line should not exceed 5 pots.

[0043] The most end total drip irrigation pipe 8 is connected to the booster water pump and the water tank 9. The water tank 9 is equipped with a pressure sensor and a PID controller for convenient control of irrigation water volume, irrigation time, and irrigation pressure.

[0044] The seedlings 12 can be sold after a certain period of cultivation. At this time, the first drip irrigation sub-pipes 31 and the second drip irrigation sub-pipes 32 are disconnected from the total drip irrigation pipe 8. The first drip irrigation sub-pipes 31 and the second drip irrigation sub-pipes 32 and the connecting rod assembly 2 can be retained in the culture pots 1 and sold to customers. In subsequent daily maintenance, one end of the clamping joint 81 can be plugged, and the other end of the clamping joint 81 is connected to the drip irrigation container, thereby continuing to supply water to the root system.

[0045] The above scheme is described in combination with specific embodiments: for the maintenance of seedlings 12 of 10-35 days after sowing of low Phalaenopsis, suitable for seedlings with stem diameter of 1.5-5.0 mm. The device is deployed in a seedling greenhouse with stable environmental temperature of 22±2℃, light intensity of 5000-8000 Lux, and air humidity of 60%-70%.

[0046] 10 days after sowing, cotyledon expansion stage:

[0047] The initial diameter of the irrigation ring 7 was 10 cm, and it was fixed by applying a torque of 0.8 N·m through the adjusting rod 63. Micro-irrigation was carried out 3 times a day at 8:00 / 12:00 / 16:00 for 5 minutes each time, and the daily water supply to a single plant was strictly controlled at 25±3 ml, forcing the roots to explore the edge of the ring area.

[0048] 15 days after sowing, first true leaf growth stage:

[0049] The irrigation ring 7 was expanded by 3 cm in diameter every week, and the adjusting rod 63 was gradually released by rotating the second knob 68, so that the angle of the diamond-shaped connecting rod was expanded from the initial 50° to 70°, and the irrigation amount was increased to 35 ml / day. At this time, the length of the secondary lateral roots reached 8-10 cm, which was 40% higher than that of traditional peripheral irrigation.

[0050] 25 days after sowing, seedling preparation stage:

[0051] The irrigation ring 7 was expanded to a final diameter of 22 cm, and the single irrigation time was extended to 8 minutes. At this time, the tip of the main root had extended to 2-3 cm outside the irrigation ring 7, forming an umbrella-shaped root system with a diameter of 25 cm, and the root crown ratio increased from 0.6 to 0.9.

[0052] Compared with traditional drip irrigation technology, the seedlings using the device had an increase of 55% in effective root absorption surface area measured by methylene blue staining method, a decrease of 70% in salt accumulation on the surface of the substrate measured by conductivity, and a recovery period after transplanting shortened from 48 hours to 12 hours, and no wilting phenomenon of seedling leaves during the recovery period.

[0053] Working principle: the seedlings 12 are planted in the center of the culture soil 11 in the culture pot 1, and the device is fixed on the pot rim through the positioning assembly 6. The L-shaped clamping plate 61 and the movable clamping plate 62 of the positioning assembly 6 clamp the pot rim, the first knob 66 is twisted to drive the screw rod 65 to adjust the clamping tightness, and the stability of the device is ensured. The two sets of adjusting rods 63 are adjusted to drive the first short connecting shaft 25 to move in the opposite direction. Due to the linkage of the rhombic linkage assembly 2, the first connecting rod 21, the second connecting rod 22, the third connecting rod 23 and the fourth connecting rod 24 are hingedly connected at the head and tail, all the connecting rods are stretched outward, and the drip irrigation branch pipe 3 and the irrigation ring area 7 are synchronously expanded. After the adjustment is completed, the second knob 68 is tightened to lock the connecting column 67, and the current irrigation ring area diameter is maintained. The total drip irrigation pipe 8 is connected with the drip irrigation branch pipe through the clamping joint 81, and a series water supply system is formed. Each drip irrigation port 33 is located directly below the connecting rod, which ensures that the water is accurately infiltrated into the root system growth end. The drip irrigation port 33 is externally provided with a reverse conical support cover 5, the bottom end of which abuts against the surface of the culture soil 11, preventing the drip irrigation port from directly contacting the soil and causing blockage. After the seedlings mature, the clamping joint 81 is disconnected from the total drip irrigation pipe 8, and the drip irrigation branch pipe 31, 32 and the connecting rod assembly 2 are retained in the culture pot 1. The user can block one end of the clamping joint 81, and the other end is connected with an independent drip irrigation container to continue water supply and maintenance.

[0055] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made thereto without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application.
