Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of irrigation for desert afforestation, and in particular to a water collection and irrigation device and method for water-saving afforestation. Background Technology
[0002] In arid and water-scarce regions, water scarcity is a key factor restricting the survival of seedlings, necessitating long-term and stable water supply systems to ensure seedling growth. Currently, artificial irrigation and drip irrigation systems are the main water supply methods.
[0003] Manual irrigation relies on frequent manual operation, which is not only extremely inefficient but also makes it difficult to achieve large-scale, continuous water supply. For large-scale tree planting projects, manual watering of each tree is not only costly in terms of manpower but also has a long water supply cycle, failing to meet the water requirements for tree growth. While drip irrigation systems can improve water resource utilization efficiency to some extent, they are highly dependent on external water sources and electrical control equipment. In desert areas without power grid coverage, complex power supply facilities such as solar panels and batteries are required, resulting in high equipment installation costs.
[0004] Even more challenging is that electrical control equipment is highly susceptible to damage in harsh environments such as high temperatures and strong sandstorms due to sand intrusion and short circuits. Once a malfunction occurs, repairs are not only difficult but also costly, sometimes requiring professionals to travel long distances to repair it, which seriously affects the continuity of water supply.
[0005] In existing technologies, such as the patent with publication number CN118923389B, a water-conserving and sand-fixing device and method for desert windbreak and sand-fixing forests is disclosed. This device uses a conical frame and a water storage unit to plant saplings within the conical inner frame, utilizing a water storage cylinder and U-shaped plate to supply water and collect rainwater. Simultaneously, through the linkage of an adjustment unit, a support unit, and a winding assembly, the water volume is adjusted according to the sapling growth, and support is provided. Multiple devices can also be connected in series via extension components for sand fixation. However, although this technology improves some of the original problems, there are still aspects that require further optimization to better meet actual testing needs.
[0006] 1. Existing technology requires burying the conical frame in a sand pit during installation, with the main body of the device fitted over the outside of the sapling. As the sapling grows, the device becomes tightly fitted to the trunk. When the device needs to be recycled or replaced, it is difficult to remove it without damaging the trunk. This results in the device being mostly a disposable item in actual use, increasing operating costs and hindering resource recycling.
[0007] 2. Existing water supply technology relies solely on sand absorption and infiltration, which is slow and makes it difficult to irrigate large quantities of water in a short period of time. Continuous water supply except during rainy days is prone to waste. When planting trees on a large scale, the dense pipelines lead to insufficient pressure, meaning that existing technology can only handle the water stored in the pipelines, and the water pressure is still insufficient, especially in hard soil, which cannot provide sufficient irrigation. Furthermore, seedlings and trees require a large amount of water during periods of high temperature and vigorous transpiration, and existing designs require external pressure boosting, which has low applicability.
[0008] Therefore, based on the above-stated viewpoints, there is still room for improvement in the existing technology for irrigating trees in deserts. Summary of the Invention

[0046] The following combination Figures 1 to 10 The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below.
[0047] This application discloses a water collection and irrigation device and method for water-saving afforestation. When applied to afforestation irrigation in arid and windy areas, it can use wind power to store energy and drive water supply, efficiently collect water and ensure water pressure; it can also be recycled and reused, adapt to different terrains, does not require external drive, and is environmentally friendly and energy-saving.
[0048] Example 1: Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a water storage cylinder 1, a water injection cylinder 10, a one-way valve 11, a secondary cylinder 12, a conical cylinder 13, an insertion nail 14, a water collection trough 15, a structural cavity 16, a connecting pipe 17, a push screw 18, a push plate 19, a wind power component 2, and a drive unit 3. The water injection cylinder 10 passes through the lower side of the water storage cylinder 1, and several irrigation troughs are opened on the outer side of the water injection cylinder 10. The one-way valve 11 is installed in the irrigation trough.
[0049] A secondary cylinder 12 is provided at the upper end of the water storage cylinder 1, and a conical cylinder 13 is provided through the upper end of the secondary cylinder 12.
[0050] Several insertion nails 14 are installed at the bottom of the water injection cylinder 10.
[0051] The upper end of the conical cylinder 13 is provided with several water collection troughs 15, and both the conical cylinder 13 and the secondary cylinder 12 are provided with structural cavities 16, and the two ends of the structural cavities 16 are respectively connected to the outer bottom of the water collection troughs 15 and the secondary cylinder 12.
[0052] A connecting pipe 17 is installed through one side of the water storage tank 1.
[0053] A push rod 18 is threaded through the bottom wall of the inner cylinder 12. One side of the push rod 18 extends into the water storage cylinder 1 and is fitted with a push plate 19 corresponding to the water injection cylinder 10.
[0054] A wind turbine assembly 2 is installed on the conical cylinder 13. The main shaft of the wind turbine assembly 2 is installed inside the conical cylinder 13 and a drive unit 3 is provided to drive the push screw 18 to rotate. The drive unit 3 drives the push screw 18 to rotate. During the rotation, the push screw 18 moves up and down in a threaded engagement with the bottom wall of the auxiliary cylinder 12, driving the push plate 19 to squeeze the water in the water injection cylinder 10. When the water pressure reaches a certain level, it will drive the one-way valve 11 to open, and the water will be discharged out of the water injection cylinder 10 through the one-way valve 11 and the irrigation trough. The water injection cylinder 10 can be connected to an external pipe so that water can be discharged into the external pipe.
[0055] This application also provides a watering method for water-saving afforestation, the watering method comprising the following steps:
[0056] S1, Device installation: Install the insertion nail 14 at the bottom of the water injection cylinder 10 on the ground so that the installation nail can support the device and prevent it from tilting.
[0057] S2, Water supply and collection: Connecting pipe 17 is used to connect to the external water supply pipe and supply water to the water storage tank 1. After rainwater drips onto the upper end of the conical cylinder 13, it enters the water storage tank 1 through the water collection trough 15 and the structural cavity 16. The water in the water storage tank 1 flows into the water injection tank 10. Since the conical cylinder 13 is inclined, debris that falls onto the upper end of the conical cylinder 13 can be blown down by the wind or washed away by the rainwater, preventing debris from accumulating. Similarly, a filter screen can be installed in the water collection trough 15 to block fine particles.
[0058] S3, Wind Power Energy Storage: The wind drives the wind turbine component 2 to rotate, and the wind turbine component 2 drives the drive unit 3 to store kinetic energy during the rotation process.
[0059] S4, Promoting Irrigation: After the driving unit 3 reaches the required kinetic energy, it drives the push screw 18 to rotate. The push screw 18 drives the push plate 19 to squeeze the water in the water injection cylinder 10, so that the water is discharged through the one-way valve 11 and the irrigation trough.
[0060] Continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the wind turbine assembly 2 is used to drive the drive unit 3 for energy storage. Specifically, the wind turbine assembly 2 includes a bent pipe 20, a drive shaft 21, a fan blade 22, and a threaded cylinder 23. The bent pipe 20 is installed at the upper end of the conical cylinder 13. The two extensions of the bent pipe 20 are each rotatably equipped with a drive shaft 21 whose end is driven by a bevel gear. The drive shaft 21 on one side extends out of the outside of the bent pipe 20 and is equipped with a fan blade 22. In desert and other open areas, due to the lack of trees and the open environment, the ambient wind speed is also high. Therefore, when installing this device, the end of the bent pipe 20 is first aligned with the wind direction, and then the fan blade 22 is driven to rotate by the wind. The rotation of the fan blade 22 drives the drive shaft 21 to rotate. The two drive shafts 21 can rotate synchronously in the bent pipe 20 through the bevel gear transmission.
[0061] A threaded cylinder 23 is rotatably mounted on the vertical section of the bent pipe 20, and the inner diameter of the threaded cylinder 23 is connected to the corresponding drive shaft 21 by a keyway. The bottom of the threaded cylinder 23 extends out of the outer side of the bent pipe 20 and is connected to the drive unit 3. That is, when the vertical drive shaft 21 rotates, it can drive the threaded cylinder 23 to rotate by a keyway. Similarly, when the threaded cylinder 23 rotates, it can also move up and down under the limiting guidance of the vertical section of the bent pipe 20.
[0062] Since the fan blade 22 indirectly drives the drive unit 3 to rotate, a small wind cannot drive the fan blade 22 to rotate, thus avoiding wear caused by prolonged rotation. At the same time, in order to prevent the fan blade 22 from rotating too fast due to excessive wind speed, those skilled in the art can install a speed limiter at the rotational connection between the drive shaft 21 and the bent pipe 20 to limit the speed of the drive shaft 21. This is a known technology and can effectively avoid the problem of the fan blade 22 rotating too fast.
[0063] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, this is the drive unit 3 used to drive the push screw 18 to rotate. Specifically, the drive unit 3 includes a U-ring 30, an internal gear ring 31, a support plate 32, a drive gear 33, a drive shaft 34, a ratchet 35, and a transmission gear 36. The U-ring 30 is rotatably disposed inside the secondary cylinder 12. The bottom of the U-ring 30 is connected to the outer side of the push screw 18 through a keyway. That is, when the U-ring 30 is driven by an external force, it can rotate inside the secondary cylinder 12. When rotating, it can drive the push screw 18 to rotate through the keyway, so that the push screw 18 drives the push plate 19 to move toward the water injection cylinder 10. It should be noted that the threaded grooves on the outer side of the push screw 18 and the threaded cylinder 23 are both bidirectional threads. That is, when the push screw 18 and the threaded cylinder 23 rotate in the same direction, they will move in the opposite direction after reaching the end of the path, and so on.
[0064] An internal gear ring 31 is provided on the inner diameter of the U-shaped ring 30, and several support plates 32 are provided on the inner diameter of the auxiliary cylinder 12. A drive gear 33 is rotated at the end of the support plate 32 via a torsion spring. A drive shaft 34 is installed at the bottom of the drive gear 33. A ratchet component 35 that meshes with the internal gear ring 31 is sleeved on the outside of the drive shaft 34. The support plate 32 is used to support the drive gear 33 so that the drive gear 33 can rotate at its end. When the drive gear 33 is driven to rotate by an external force, the internal gear ring 31 can be driven to rotate through the corresponding ratchet component 35.
[0065] The teeth and heights of the outer sides of several drive gears 33 are inconsistent and progress evenly from high to low. The outer side of the threaded cylinder 23 is fitted with a transmission gear 36 corresponding to the drive gear 33. That is, pushing the lead screw 18 can drive the transmission gear 36 to move downward synchronously, so that the transmission gear 36 meshes with the outer teeth of each drive gear 33. During this process, the transmission gear 36 can drive the corresponding drive gear 33 to rotate, so that the torsion spring on the corresponding drive gear 33 can store force.
[0066] The purpose of this is to prevent the wind from directly driving the threaded cylinder 23 to rotate. The rotational torque of the threaded cylinder 23 is insufficient to drive the U-ring 30 to drive the push plate 19 to drive the water in the water injection cylinder 10. Therefore, this application uses multiple drive gears 33 and torsion springs to store power separately. When the transmission gear 36 drives one drive gear 33 to rotate and store power on its torsion spring, the rotation direction of the drive gear 33 is opposite to the driving direction of the ratchet 35. Therefore, the ratchet 35 will not drive the internal gear ring 31 to rotate at this time. When the transmission gear 36 moves downward and disengages from the outer teeth of the previous drive gear 33, the external force limits the drive gear 33 that has completed the power storage to prevent it from rotating. Then, the above steps are repeated to store power on the torsion springs on multiple drive gears 33. This can prevent the situation where the rotational torque of the transmission gear 36 is insufficient to drive multiple torsion springs to store power due to the small wind force.
[0067] When the transmission gear 36 disengages from the outer teeth of the bottom drive gear 33, the multiple drive gears 33 are no longer limited by external forces and are driven by the corresponding torsion springs to rotate in the opposite direction. At this time, the rotation direction is consistent with the driving direction of the ratchet. That is, at this time, the multiple drive gears 33 can drive the U-ring 30 to rotate together through the ratchet 35, so that the U-ring has enough torque to drive the push screw 18 and the push plate 19 to push the water in the water injection cylinder 10.
[0068] At this time, the threaded cylinder 23 will also drive the transmission gear 36 to move downward a certain distance. Then, after the drive gear 33 completes the reverse rotation, the U-shaped ring 30 will drive the corresponding push plate 19 to complete a cycle of moving downward and pushing out of the irrigation tank and moving back to the initial position. Therefore, the movement path of the threaded cylinder 23 has reached the end. Then, it can drive the transmission gear 36 to move upward. At this time, the transmission gear 36 will first mesh with the bottom drive gear 33. At this time, the rotation direction of the transmission gear 36 is still the same. Repeat the above steps. At this time, the bottom drive gear 33 is charged first, and then the top drive gear 33 is charged. The transmission gear 36 disengages from the top drive gear 33, and then the drive gear 33 can drive the U-shaped ring 30 to rotate. By repeating the above steps, this device can realize the periodic reciprocating water supply function without the aid of external drive equipment. During water supply, the water pressure can be guaranteed so that the water can be completely soaked in the soil to quickly irrigate the surrounding land.
[0069] To further explain the above, even if there is a water supply pipe connected to an external water supply device, due to the complexity of the pipe network and the low water pressure in some areas, the water pressure from the external water supply pipe alone may not be enough to supply water to each pipe and the soil. Therefore, this device stores the wind power into the kinetic energy of each drive gear 33, and then the multiple drive gears 33 release the rotational power synchronously to drive the push plate 19 to squeeze and push the water. This prevents insufficient torque from driving the device, and also eliminates the need for external drive equipment, saving maintenance and installation steps, making it low-carbon and environmentally friendly.
[0070] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a limiting component 4 for limiting the drive gear 33 is also provided on the inner diameter of the secondary cylinder 12; specifically, the limiting component 4 includes a spring plate 40, an arc-shaped plate 41, a ratchet component 42, a limiting tooth 43, an L-shaped plate 44, a driving circular plate 45, and a driving ring plate 46. The spring plate 40 is provided on the inner diameter of the secondary cylinder 12. An arc-shaped plate 41 corresponding to the adjacent drive gear 33 is installed on the telescopic end of the spring plate 40. A ratchet component 42 is installed on the upper end of the drive gear 33. The inner diameter of the arc-shaped plate 41 is provided with limiting teeth 43 that mesh with the corresponding ratchet component 42. That is, in the initial state, the spring plate 40... The telescopic end drives the arc plate 41 and the limiting tooth 43 to limit the ratchet part 42, which in turn limits the corresponding transmission gear 36 to prevent it from rotating under the drive of the torsion spring. The driving direction of the ratchet part 42 is the same as that of the ratchet part 35. Therefore, when the transmission gear 36 drives the drive gear 33 to rotate, the ratchet part 42 will not limit the drive gear 33. When the drive gear 33 has completed its power storage and the transmission gear 36 is no longer engaged with it, the limiting tooth 43 and the ratchet part 42 will limit the reverse rotation of the drive gear 33, so that the torsion spring remains compressed.
[0071] An L-shaped plate 44 is also provided on the arc-shaped plate 41. One side of the vertical and horizontal extension sections of the L-shaped plate 44 is arc-shaped. The outer diameter of the threaded cylinder 23 is fitted with an active circular plate 45 corresponding to the arc-shaped surface of the vertical section of the L-shaped plate 44. The upper end of the transmission gear 36 is also provided with an active ring plate 46 corresponding to the arc-shaped surface of the horizontal extension section of the L-shaped plate 44. When the transmission gear 36 completes the storage of the lowermost drive gear 33 and disengages, the push screw 18 will drive the active circular plate 45 on its outer side to contact the vertical arc surface of the L-shaped plate 44 and drive the spring plate 40 to retract, so that the limiting tooth 43... The drive gear 33 is no longer limited, allowing it to drive the U-shaped ring 30 to rotate. Conversely, when the transmission gear 36 moves from bottom to top, the driving circular plate 45 no longer contacts the L-shaped plate 44, allowing the transmission gear 36 to move from bottom to top and limit the drive gear 33. After the transmission gear 36 completes the power storage of the uppermost drive gear 33 and disengages, the driving ring plate 46 will contact the transverse arc surface of the L-shaped plate 44 and drive the spring plate 40 to contract, releasing the drive gear 33 to rotate. By repeating the above steps, reciprocating power storage can be achieved.
[0072] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a pressure relief assembly 5 is installed inside the push plate 19. Specifically, the pressure relief assembly 5 includes a sliding groove 50, a sliding shaft 51, a pressure relief groove 52, a snap-fit groove 53, a spring snap-fit member 54, and a sector plate 55. The sliding groove 50 is opened inside the push plate 19, and the sliding shaft 51 slides inside the sliding groove 50. The sliding shaft 51 has a pressure relief groove 52 that communicates with one end of it. That is, another function of the one-way valve 11 is to prevent pressure relief from entering the external pipeline after the push plate 19 has been pushed. Water flows back into the water injection cylinder 10, resulting in unsatisfactory irrigation effect. When the push plate 19 completes its push return, the push plate 19 and the water injection cylinder 10 are closed, resulting in a vacuum adsorption effect. At this time, the sliding shaft 51 can be driven by external force to move upward in the sliding groove 50, so that the other end of the pressure relief groove 52 corresponds to the upper end of the push plate 19, which is the inside of the water storage cylinder 1. At this time, the inside of the water injection cylinder 10 and the inside of the water storage cylinder 1 are connected, and the push plate 19 can move upward smoothly.
[0073] Two snap-fit grooves 53 are provided on the outer side of the sliding shaft 51, and a spring snap-fit part 54 is installed on the inner diameter of the sliding groove 50. The telescopic end of the spring snap-fit part 54 is snapped into one snap-fit groove 53, and a fan-shaped plate 55 is provided on the inner wall of the water storage cylinder 1.
[0074] In the initial state, the spring-loaded connector 54 limits the sliding shaft 51 through a locking groove 53. When the end face of the push plate 19 moves to the bottom of the water injection cylinder 10, a water supply is completed. During this process, the bottom of the sliding shaft 51 contacts the inner bottom wall of the water injection cylinder 10, causing the sliding shaft 51 to move upward. The pressure relief groove 52 connects the internal areas of the water storage cylinder 1 and the water injection cylinder 10. At this time, the end of the spring-loaded connector 54 abuts against another locking groove 53, thus limiting the sliding shaft 51. The push plate 19 is positioned so that it moves upward. After moving to the upper end, the side of the sector plate 55 is chamfered. Even if the sliding shaft 51 can rotate with the push plate 19, it can still contact the chamfered side of the sector plate 55 and push the sliding shaft 51 to the initial position. At the same time, the protrusion height of the sliding shaft 51 is not high, so it can avoid jamming with the sector plate 55. At this time, the spring clip 54 continues to limit the sliding shaft 51, so that the push plate 19 can normally push the water out of the irrigation tank.
[0075] It should be noted that the water storage cylinder 1 has a large capacity and is mainly used for water storage. Water can be continuously replenished into the water storage cylinder 1 through the connecting pipe 17 and the rainwater collection. After the push plate 19 completes one push and returns to the water storage cylinder 1, the water in the water storage cylinder 1 can enter the irrigation trough through the gap between the push plate 19 and the upper opening of the water injection cylinder 10.
[0076] After the seedlings have grown and completed irrigation, their root systems have penetrated deep into the soil and can absorb water independently, eliminating the need for extensive active irrigation. Furthermore, since the device is fixed to the ground by inserting nails 14 and is not directly attached to the tree trunk, the nails 14 can be easily pulled out of the soil for complete disassembly. The disassembled device can be moved to a new afforestation site for reinstallation to irrigate new seedlings. This achieves resource recycling and cost reduction, while also preventing excessive tree growth from blocking the fan blades 22 of the wind turbine component 2, ensuring normal wind energy capture and storage, and guaranteeing the continuous and stable operation of the device.
[0077] It should also be noted that in actual implementation, when the wind force is strong, the external water supply network connected to the connecting pipe 17 can be shut off. Even if the wind turbine 2 drives the push plate 19 to squeeze the water flow, there will be no excessively rapid water supply due to excessive water pressure because there is no continuous water supply in the water storage tank 1. This invention is particularly suitable for desert or arid regions such as Northwest my country, where wind resources are abundant and relatively stable year-round, providing continuous and balanced power to the wind turbine 2 and effectively avoiding the problem of slow water supply due to weak winds. Furthermore, the water volume can be flexibly adjusted by changing the diameter of the water injection tank 10 and the push plate 19 according to different actual usage needs. Combined with the continuous water supply feature of the device, the surrounding soil can always be kept moist. This design meets the needs of seedlings for a moist soil environment during growth, especially in high-temperature environments, preventing seedlings from dying due to soil drought and insufficient water. It ensures that the device can stably output appropriate water pressure and volume in most situations, meeting the water requirements of tree growth.
[0078] Example 2: Refer to Figure 10 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, in order to water the trees by irrigating them towards the ground so that the roots can fully absorb water, an irrigation component 6 is installed on the outside of the water injection cylinder 10. Specifically, the irrigation component 6 includes an external connecting pipe 60, branch pipes 61, insertion cylinders 62, a through groove 63, and a sealing plate 64. The external connecting pipe 60 is installed on the outside of the water injection cylinder 10 and communicates with an irrigation trough. Several branch pipes 61 are connected to the outside of the external connecting pipe 60. Insertion cylinders 62 are installed at the ends of the branch pipes 61. The bottom of the insertion cylinder 62 is conical and can be inserted into the ground next to the seedling to limit and support the external connecting pipe 60 and simultaneously limit and support the main body of the device. Water discharged from the irrigation trough can enter the external connecting pipe 60, and then the water in the external connecting pipe 60 can enter each branch pipe 61, and the water in each branch pipe 61 can enter the insertion cylinder 62.
[0079] Several through slots 63 are opened on the outside of the insertion cylinder 62. The remaining irrigation troughs without external connecting pipes 60 are all equipped with sealing plates 64. The water pressure generated by the pushing plate 19 allows water to flow quickly through the external connecting pipes 60 and branch pipes 61 into the insertion cylinder 62, and then directly into the deep soil through the through slots 63, where it is quickly absorbed by the soil, improving irrigation efficiency. After installing the external connecting pipes 60 according to the terrain and irrigation needs, the sealing plates 64 can seal the remaining irrigation troughs to prevent water leakage. When adjusting the installation next time, the sealing plates 64 can be removed to reuse the corresponding irrigation troughs, flexibly adapting to different scenarios.
[0080] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and not restrictive.
[0081] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
