[0051] The principles and features of the present application are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and the examples are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0052] As shown in Figure 1 , a water metering method for agricultural use includes the following steps:

[0053] S1: Real-time collection of power consumption data of the water pump during operation of the pump station. The collection of power consumption data is achieved through an independently deployed programmable logic controller (PLC). The circuit module of the programmable logic controller (PLC) is directly connected to the power cable of the water pump, and non-water pump power interference is excluded, that is, lighting, refrigeration, heating, management of temporary power consumption, and other power consumption unrelated to electricity-to-water conversion are effectively avoided, effectively improving the measurement accuracy. Moreover, the programmable logic controller (PLC) can be directly connected to the existing pump station as an independent device, and can be installed on the cable of the water pump, which is convenient and simple, and does not need to modify the main structure of the pump station. In addition, the programmable logic controller (PLC) can be upgraded by connecting a remote terminal unit (RTU), and can realize remote control, remote supervision, remote viewing, and other functions.

[0054] S2: A dynamic correlation model is constructed by a multi-dimensional data fitting based on water pump operation parameters and environmental parameters, and a self-adaptive correction and optimization of model parameters through periodic calibration. The power consumption data is converted into water output data through the dynamic correlation model. The dynamic correlation model is integrated on the programmable logic controller (PLC).

[0055] Among them, the multi-dimensional data fitting based on water pump operation parameters and environmental parameters is based on the following power consumption and the conversion equation of water output

[0056]

[0057] Among them, is the power consumption ( ), is the water output ( ), is the density of water (kg / m ), is the acceleration of gravity (m / s ), is the lift of the water pump (m), is the water flow rate ( / s), is the running time (h), is the comprehensive efficiency of the pump station.

[0058] The self-adaptive correction and optimization of model parameters through periodic calibration is achieved through the following correction function:

[0059]

[0060] Among them, a, b, and c are correction coefficients, is the power consumption, is the water output.

[0061] ​This solution integrates pump operating parameters (head, efficiency decay) with environmental parameters (temperature, humidity) in real time, solving the long-term metering deviation problem caused by fixed coefficients in the traditional electricity-to-water conversion method and improving metering accuracy.

[0062] S3: Select the corresponding water volume verification method according to the irrigation scenario type, and obtain actual water output data to calibrate the dynamic correlation model;

[0063] The irrigation scenarios include pumping water into canals and pumping water into fields. The verification methods for measured water volume vary depending on the type of irrigation scenario. For the pumping water into canals mode, the pumping water output is measured by actual power consumption and by using portable flow meters and hydraulic structures to measure the flow. A functional relationship between power consumption W and water output Q is established, taking into account the influence of pump type, measured flow rate, measured power consumption, and actual head, which has high accuracy.

[0064] For the pumping station water delivery mode, a functional relationship between power consumption W and water output Q was established by using actual power consumption and measured water delivery volume of the pumping station in paddy fields at different growth stages. In addition to considering the influence of pump type, measured flow rate, measured power consumption, and actual head, the influence of the cross-sectional area of ​​rice stems and leaves at different growth stages was also considered, which has high accuracy.

[0065] S4: Output and store the measured water output through the calibrated dynamic correlation model. This water output is the water output Q measured by the electro-water conversion method.

[0066] Two implementation examples are provided for the two irrigation scenarios mentioned above. Example 1 is a scenario where water is pumped from a pumping station into a canal, and Example 2 is a scenario where water is pumped from a pumping station into a field. The main difference between Example 1 and Example 2 is that in Example 1, after water is pumped from the pumping station into the canal, the initial flow rate can be measured using a portable flow meter at the canal's outlet. Alternatively, the initial flow rate can be measured using hydraulic structure flow measurement methods, where the pumping station's outlet pool contains structures such as sluice gates, weirs, or culverts. Example 2 involves pumping water directly into paddy fields after it exits the pumping station, which does not meet the above conditions for measuring the initial flow rate.
