Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of agricultural water-fertilizer integration, and in particular to a premixed fertilization system and a fertilization control method. Background Art

[0002] Integrated water and fertilizer technology is a technology that organically combines irrigation and fertilization, accurately couples water and fertilizer and supplies them to crops. It has many advantages such as water saving, high irrigation uniformity, labor saving, fertilizer saving, and increased yield. Compared with traditional irrigation modes such as flooding, integrated water and fertilizer technology can significantly improve the utilization rate of water, fertilizer and pesticides, usually saving 30% to 60% of water and 20% to 40% of fertilizer. Therefore, it has developed rapidly in my country and has been widely used.

[0003] Currently, the most commonly used integrated water and fertilizer equipment is a pipeline fertilizer applicator. A control system regulates water and fertilizer, continuously and quantitatively injecting a mixture of fertilizer and water into the irrigation pipe. The water and fertilizer mix in the main pipe, achieving integrated water and fertilizer. Its advantages include high-flow, continuous water and fertilizer supply at a low cost. However, it takes a long time for the water and fertilizer to reach the set EC target, generally taking 1-3 minutes, making it suitable for field crops with longer water and fertilizer cycles. In greenhouse substrate cultivation, water and fertilizer are applied simultaneously, 5-10 times per day, with 100-600ml of water per plant each time, for no more than 10 minutes. This requires achieving water and fertilizer concentrations quickly and accurately, even without the need for adjustment time. Instead, the water and fertilizer are adjusted to the required EC value before irrigation.

[0004] Existing premix fertilizer spreaders use a PID controller to control the duty cycle of the fertilizer suction solenoid valve based on the set EC target value, thereby varying the amount of fertilizer sucked in and gradually reaching the set EC value. However, the PID control method takes a long time to adjust, affecting the accuracy of water and fertilizer application. To address this issue, methods such as incremental PID algorithms, fuzzy controllers, and neural network models are currently being used to maximize the device's response speed. However, during the crop cultivation process, pressure, flow rate, mother liquor concentration, EC target value, and fertilizer type are constantly changing. Furthermore, factors such as pipeline transmission introduce severe nonlinearity, large lags, large inertia, and mathematical model uncertainty. These methods are only suitable for scenarios where some parameters are relatively fixed and cannot respond quickly to changing parameters. Therefore, the design of a premix fertilization system and fertilization control method is essential. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a premixed fertilization system and a fertilization control method to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a premixed fertilization system, comprising a water-fertilizer preparation system, a field fertilization system, and a water-fertilizer application control system;

[0011] The water and fertilizer application control system is used to measure the initial water volume and the initial EC value of the water and fertilizer in the premix barrel, and pre-configure the EC value of the water and fertilizer in the premix barrel through the water adding mechanism, the conveying mechanism and the fertilizer mother liquid suction mechanism, so as to ensure that the EC value of the water and fertilizer entering the field is within the set value range at all times.

[0012] In a further embodiment, the fertilizer mother liquid suction mechanism includes a mother liquid barrel provided on one side of the fertilizer suction pipe, a stirring motor is provided on the top of the mother liquid barrel, and an output end of the stirring motor extends into the mother liquid barrel and is connected to the stirring mechanism;

[0013] The mother liquid barrel is communicated with an adjacent fertilizer venturi tube through a liquid suction pipe, and a fertilizer suction flow meter and a fertilizer suction electromagnetic valve are provided on the liquid suction pipe.

[0014] In a further embodiment, the water and fertilizer application control system includes a controller arranged outside the premixing barrel, an EC sensor and a fertilizer pressure sensor arranged on the fertilizer pipe in front of the fertilizer suction pipe, and the EC sensor and fertilizer pressure sensor are both electrically connected to the controller.

[0015] In a further embodiment, a water tank low water level sensor is provided in the water tank, a water flow meter is installed on the water pipe at the water outlet of the water pump, and a premixing tank water level meter is provided in the premixing tank.

[0016] In a further embodiment, a main flow meter is provided on the main pipeline.

[0017] In a further embodiment, a working pressure sensor is provided on the main pipeline in front of the field plot fertilizer pipe.

[0018] In a further embodiment, the controller includes a water adding pump frequency converter and an irrigation pump frequency converter, wherein the water adding pump frequency converter and the irrigation pump frequency converter are electrically connected to the water adding pump and the irrigation pump, respectively;

[0019] The controller is also electrically connected to the water adding pump, the irrigation pump, the fertilizing venturi tube, the fertilizer suction flow meter, the fertilizer suction solenoid valve, the water adding flow meter, the main pipe flow meter and the working pressure sensor.

[0020] A premixed fertilization control method comprises the following steps:

[0021] S1. Start the irrigation pump. After the pressure stabilizes for 10 seconds, open a fertilizer suction solenoid valve to suck a certain amount of mother liquid from the mother liquid barrel and then close it. After the EC value of the fertilization pipeline stabilizes for 5 seconds, record the EC sensor value ECa at this time. This value is the initial EC value of the water and fertilizer in the premix barrel.

[0022] Turn on the water pump to add water to the premix barrel. After calculating the amount of water added Qb using the water flow meter, wait until the EC value of the fertilizer pipeline stabilizes and record the EC sensor value ECb. The formula is:

[0023] *ECb=Qa*ECa, the initial water volume Qa in the premix barrel can be obtained:

[0024] Qa=Qb*ECb / (ECa-ECb)

[0025] Where: Qa is the initial water volume in the premix barrel, Qb is the amount of water added to the premix barrel, ECa is the initial EC value of the water and fertilizer in the premix barrel, ECb is the EC value of the water and fertilizer in the premix barrel after adding water, and the initial EC value of the water and fertilizer in the premix barrel and the initial water volume Qa are measured;

[0026] S2. Open the fertilizer suction solenoid valve in one of the mother liquid barrels and inject fertilizer liquid Q1 into the premix barrel. Q1 can be measured by the water flow meter. After the EC value of the fertilization pipeline stabilizes, record the EC sensor value ECc at this time. The formula is:

[0027] Qa*ECa+Q1*EC1=*ECc, the EC value EC1 in the mother liquid barrel can be obtained:

[0028] EC1 = *ECc-Qa*ECa) / Q1;

[0029] Repeat the above process for multiple mother liquid barrels to measure the EC values ​​EC1, EC2, EC3... in each mother liquid barrel respectively.

[0030] Repeat this step each time the mother solution is replaced to obtain a new mother solution EC value;

[0031] S3. Set working pressure and EC target value EC T , irrigation time, irrigation duration, proportion of each mother liquor, and field valves that need to be opened; when the irrigation time is reached, first check whether the premix barrel is at a low water level. If it is a low water level, start the water pump to add water. When the water level reaches 40cm or is not a low water level, start the irrigation pump, adjust the main pipe pressure to the set working pressure, and detect the EC value in the premix barrel. If it is greater than the set value, continue to add water. If it is less than the set value, adjust each fertilizer suction solenoid valve to suck fertilizer according to the set ratio, so that the EC value in the premix barrel reaches the set value. The EC value of water and fertilizer in the premix barrel is pre-prepared;

[0032] S4. When the EC value in the premix tank reaches the set value, the field plot solenoid valve is opened and the time is set. The irrigation pump is adjusted by the controller so that the working pressure sensor value reaches the set value. During the irrigation process, the controller ensures that the water pump flow rate is consistent with the irrigation pump flow rate.

[0033] During fertilization, the real-time main flow Q is obtained through the main flow meter, fertilizer suction flow meter and water addition flow meter. M , Fertilization flow Q F and water addition flow Q S , the water flow rate will be consistent with the main pipeline flow rate, so the water flow rate is used as the calculation basis, according to the target EC value EC set by the user T With the known mother liquor EC value and the set ratio, the duty cycle of the fertilizer suction solenoid valve can be calculated according to the following formula:

[0034] Qxi=(ki / )EC T *Q S / EC z

[0035] di=f(Qxi)

[0036] Where Qxi is the fertilizer suction flow rate of the i-th fertilizer suction pipe, k1...kn is the fertilizer suction ratio between n fertilizer suction pipes, EC T is the target EC value, Q S is the water addition flow rate, EC z is the combined EC value of each mother liquor, di is the duty cycle of the i-th fertilizer absorption solenoid valve at the target EC value, and f is the functional relationship between the flow rate of the fertilizer absorption solenoid valve and the duty cycle;

[0037] During operation, the duty cycle of each fertilizer suction solenoid valve is directly assigned in real time, so that the EC value of the water and fertilizer application control system can be quickly adjusted to the target EC value after operation. When the EC value is within the range of ±3% of the target value, PID regulation is enabled to achieve rapid stabilization, and the EC value of the water and fertilizer entering the field is within the set value range at all times;

[0038] S5. During operation, the water pump stops when the water level in the premix tank is high, the irrigation pump stops when the water level is low, the water pump stops when the water storage tank is low, and the fertilizer solenoid valve stops when the water level in the mother liquid tank is low, and an alarm is sounded; when the irrigation time is reached, the fertilizer solenoid valve, water pump, and irrigation pump stop, and the field plot solenoid valve is closed after 5 seconds, and the system ends operation.

[0039] In a further embodiment, a pressure reducing valve is provided at the inlet of the fertilization pipeline, and a pressure holding valve is provided on the main pipeline at the rear of the pressure reducing valve.

[0040] In a further embodiment, a main pipe pressure sensor is provided on the main pipeline in front of the pressure-sustained valve.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows: the present invention adopts a premixing method to prepare the water and fertilizer solution in advance according to the set value, which can achieve the EC value of the water and fertilizer entering the field within the set value range at all times; combined with the flow duty cycle characteristics of the fertilizer suction solenoid valve, the EC value of the mother liquor in each fertilizer liquid barrel can be obtained through system operation, and the relationship between various parameters can be obtained in real time, which can greatly simplify the control program and algorithm and reduce errors; the duty cycle of the fertilizer suction valve is calculated according to the real-time target value and each flow rate, which can achieve the EC value of the water and fertilizer entering the field within the set value range at all times; at the same time, combined with PID control, the adjustment is more accurate. The above method solves the problems in the water-fertilizer integrated technology of a long time to reach the EC target value, large steady-state fluctuations, and the inability to automatically test and correct the control equipment characteristics and parameters when the parameters change. The method is particularly suitable for small-area hydroponics in greenhouses or substrate cultivation where high requirements for water-fertilizer ratios are required.

[0054] The fertilizer suction mechanism includes a plurality of fertilizer suction pipes provided in the middle section of the fertilizer pipe. The middle section of the fertilizer suction pipe is connected to the fertilizer Venturi pipe 12. A fertilizer mother liquid suction mechanism is provided on one side of the fertilizer suction pipe and is connected to the fertilizer Venturi pipe 12 in a one-to-one correspondence.

The EC value of the water and fertilizer after the water and fertilizer are fully mixed is measured by the EC sensor 16, that is, the final EC value entering the field.

[0068] A premixed fertilization control method comprises the following steps:

[0069] S1. Start the irrigation pump 21. After the pressure stabilizes for 10 seconds, open a fertilizer suction solenoid valve 11 to suck a certain amount of mother liquid from the mother liquid barrel 8 and then close it. After the EC value of the fertilization pipeline stabilizes for 5 seconds, record the value ECa of the EC sensor 16 at this time.

[0080] S4. When the EC value in the premix barrel 7 reaches the set value, the field plot solenoid valve 13 is opened and the timing is performed, and the irrigation pump 21 is adjusted by the controller 5 so that the working pressure sensor 14 reaches the set value.

[0082] Qxi=(ki / k1+……+kn)EC T *Q S / EC z

When the EC value is within the range of ±3% of the target value, PID regulation is enabled to achieve rapid stabilization, and the EC value of the water and fertilizer entering the field is within the set value range at all times;
