Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of water-saving irrigation technology, specifically a floating, alternating water-saving irrigation device and its irrigation method. Background Technology

[0002] As an important economic crop, tea trees have special requirements for water management due to their growth characteristics. Tea tree roots are relatively shallow, mainly distributed in the top 20-30 cm of soil. They need to maintain moderate soil moisture while also requiring good aeration.

[0003] Different growth stages and climatic conditions of tea trees have different requirements for irrigation methods: during the daily growth period, micro-sprinkler irrigation is mainly used to precisely irrigate the root area of ​​tea trees with a small amount of water, which can meet the water requirements and avoid soil compaction.

[0004] However, during the hottest periods of summer (especially around noon), the evaporation rate of water from tea trees is high. Micro-sprinkler irrigation cannot meet the high evaporation rate, which can easily lead to water shortage in the root area. Furthermore, micro-sprinkler irrigation cannot reach the leaf area, resulting in high leaf temperature and the risk of heat burn.

[0005] To address this, a combination of micro-sprinkler irrigation and top sprinkler irrigation can be used to effectively replenish water to the tea trees. However, when top sprinkler irrigation is performed, its irrigation range and pressure are usually static. If the irrigation range is not set properly, it can easily lead to excessive irrigation in the overlapping areas of adjacent irrigation devices, thus creating a significant irrigation gradient. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a floating, alternating water-saving irrigation device and its irrigation method to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0009] Water supply pipe, as well as inlet pipe and drain pipe connected to the side wall of the water supply pipe, with baffles installed inside the water supply pipe;

[0010] Also includes:

[0011] A piston disc is slidably and sealed inside the water supply pipe, and the piston disc divides the pipeline in the water supply pipe located above the partition into an upper delivery chamber and a lower delivery chamber.

[0012] The first conduit and the second conduit are disposed on the side wall of the water supply pipe and are respectively connected to the lower delivery chamber and the upper delivery chamber;

[0013] A sprinkler irrigation mechanism is installed inside the water supply pipe and connected to the piston disc;

[0014] A flow control mechanism is installed inside the water supply pipe and connected to the piston disc. The flow control mechanism is equipped with a trigger switching mechanism, which can adjust the flow state of the first conduit and the second conduit through the flow control mechanism.

[0015] As a further aspect of the present invention: the sprinkler mechanism includes a through groove and a through hole formed on the piston disc, a one-way valve is installed in the through hole, and a telescopic tube is provided at the end of the piston disc away from the partition plate, which is in communication with the through groove. Multiple nozzles are provided on the telescopic tube, which penetrate the water supply pipe and are distributed equidistantly in a circular pattern.

[0016] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the sprinkler mechanism further includes an upper push rod disposed on the piston disc and passing through the water supply pipe, the upper push rod having a movable plate at its end, a connecting rod hinged to the nozzle on the movable plate, and a first spring sleeved on the upper push rod, the two ends of the first spring abutting against the piston disc and the water supply pipe respectively.

[0017] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the conduction control mechanism includes a fixed sleeve disposed on the partition plate, the outer circumferential wall of the fixed sleeve is formed with a spiral groove, a movable sleeve is axially slidable on the fixed sleeve, and a limiting block is provided on the inner wall of the movable sleeve to slide and engage with the spiral groove.

[0018] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a rotating plate is provided on the movable sleeve, and a sealing ring is provided at the end of the rotating plate to seal and fit with the water supply pipe. A discharge groove is formed on the sealing ring to communicate and cooperate with the first conduit and the second conduit. A second spring is sleeved on the fixed sleeve, and the two ends of the second spring abut against the partition and the rotating plate respectively.

[0019] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the trigger switching mechanism includes a lower push rod disposed on the side wall of the piston disc and penetrating the partition plate, a support plate is rotatably mounted at the end of the lower push rod, a guide post fixedly connected to the rotating plate is slidably mounted on the support plate, a limit ring is provided on the guide post, and a third spring is sleeved on the guide post to abut against the limit ring and the support plate;

[0020] It also includes a limiting component and a guiding component disposed on the fixed sleeve and connected to the limiting ring.

[0021] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the limiting component includes a rotating ring rotatably mounted on the fixed sleeve, and a symmetrically arranged support sleeve is provided on the rotating ring, and a support rod that slides axially inside the support sleeve and abuts against the limiting ring.

[0022] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the guiding component includes a groove formed on the outer circumference of the support sleeve, a limiting post provided on the support rod that slides and engages with the groove, a fourth spring sleeved on the support sleeve and the support rod, the two ends of the fourth spring respectively abutting against the rotating ring and the limiting post, and a limiting plate provided on the support plate that abuts against the limiting post.

[0023] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a first sealing disc and a second sealing disc are slidably and sealed inside the water supply pipe, and the first sealing disc and the second sealing disc are fixedly connected.

[0024] A floating, alternating water-saving irrigation method includes the following steps:

[0025] Step 1: The water supply pipe, inlet pipe, and outlet pipe are interconnected through the first and second sealing discs, and micro-irrigation is performed through the outlet pipe;

[0026] Step 2: The lower pipe is blocked by the second sealing disc, and the first conduit is connected to the lower delivery chamber under the action of the conduction control mechanism, while the second conduit is blocked.

[0027] Step 3: Water in the water supply pipe enters the lower delivery chamber through the first conduit and pushes the piston disc, thereby performing a large-scale sprinkler irrigation action through the sprinkler irrigation mechanism;

[0028] Step 4: When the piston disc moves to the end of its stroke, the switching mechanism is triggered to control the movement of the conduction control mechanism, so that the first conduit is blocked and the second conduit is connected to the lower delivery chamber;

[0029] Step 5: Water in the water supply pipe enters the lower delivery chamber through the second conduit and drives the piston disc to reset, thereby performing the sprinkler irrigation action in a pressure fluctuation state through the sprinkler irrigation mechanism.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0031] This invention enables the switching between micro-sprinkler irrigation and top sprinkler irrigation modes by adjusting the positions of the first and second sealing discs. During routine maintenance, it achieves precise micro-sprinkler irrigation, effectively saving water resources; during high-temperature periods, it switches to top sprinkler irrigation to quickly reduce the temperature of the tea tree canopy.

[0032] During top sprinkler irrigation, the piston disc controls the movement of the sprinkler mechanism based on water pressure fluctuations in the upper and lower delivery chambers. When the piston disc moves upward, the nozzle sway angle increases through the upper push rod and connecting rod mechanism, and the irrigation range expands accordingly. When the piston disc returns to its original position downward, the nozzle sway angle decreases, and the irrigation range shrinks accordingly. In this way, the periodic range change of the sprinkler effectively improves the uniformity of irrigation and avoids the irrigation dead zones and over-irrigation problems of traditional fixed sprinkler irrigation.

[0033] When the sprinkler head tilt angle increases and the irrigation area expands, the sprinkler head operates at a lower water supply pressure, creating a gentle atomized spray. This expands the wetting perimeter while avoiding impact damage to the leaves from water droplets. When the sprinkler head tilt angle decreases and the irrigation area narrows, the sprinkler head operates at a higher water supply pressure, creating a concentrated water jet. This enhances water penetration. This coordinated change in pressure and range simulates the characteristics of natural rainfall, ensuring that both the tea leaves and roots receive the most suitable water supply.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

When an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or may also include an intervening element.

[0049] Please see Figures 1-12In this embodiment of the invention, a floating, alternating water-saving irrigation device includes:

[0050] Water supply pipe 1, and inlet pipe 2 and drain pipe 3 connected to the side wall of water supply pipe 1, with baffle 6 installed inside water supply pipe 1;

[0051] Also includes:

[0052] Piston disc 9 is slidably and sealed inside the water supply pipe 1. The piston disc 9 divides the pipeline in the water supply pipe 1 located above the partition 6 into an upper delivery chamber and a lower delivery chamber.

[0053] The first conduit 7 and the second conduit 8 are disposed on the side wall of the water supply pipe 1 and are respectively connected to the lower delivery chamber and the upper delivery chamber;

[0054] A sprinkler mechanism is installed inside the water supply pipe 1 and connected to the piston disc 9;

[0055] A flow control mechanism is installed inside the water supply pipe 1 and connected to the piston disc 9. The flow control mechanism is equipped with a trigger switching mechanism, which can adjust the flow state of the first conduit 7 and the second conduit 8 through the flow control mechanism.

[0056] Specifically, when irrigating tea trees, micro-sprinkler irrigation is usually sufficient, meaning a small amount of water is sprayed onto the roots of the tea trees. During midday in summer, top irrigation is needed to lower the temperature through evaporation of water from the leaves. Therefore, the water supply from the inlet pipe 2 can be controlled according to the required irrigation conditions. When micro-sprinkler irrigation is needed, the inlet pipe 2 delivers a small flow of water to the supply pipe 1, and the water is guided to the roots of the tea trees through the drain pipe 3. When top irrigation is needed, the inlet pipe 2 delivers a large flow of water to the supply pipe 1. At this time, the first conduit 7 is open, and the second conduit 8 is closed. In the current state, water in the water supply pipe 1 enters the lower delivery chamber through the first conduit 7, driving the piston disc 9 to move. This causes the sprinkler mechanism to continuously change the irrigation range while simultaneously irrigating the water. The piston disc 9 also drives the trigger switching mechanism to move. When the piston disc 9 moves to the end of its stroke away from the partition 6, the control mechanism is activated, causing the first conduit 7 to be blocked and the second conduit 8 to be open. At this time, the water in the water supply pipe 1 will enter the upper delivery chamber through the second conduit 8 and push the piston disc 9 toward the initial position to change the irrigation pressure of the sprinkler mechanism, thereby ensuring the irrigation range and uniformity.

[0057] Please see Figures 1-3 , Figure 5 The water supply pipe 1 is equipped with a first sealing disc 4 and a second sealing disc 5 that are slidably sealed inside the pipe. The first sealing disc 4 and the second sealing disc 5 are fixedly connected.

[0058] It should be noted that the first sealing disc 4 and the second sealing disc 5 can be adjusted in position within the water supply pipe 1 by a cylinder. In the initial state, the first sealing disc 4 and the second sealing disc 5 can control the water supply pipe 1, the inlet pipe 2, and the drain pipe 3 to be interconnected. At this time, the inlet pipe 2 pumps a small flow of water into the water supply pipe 1, and when the water flows to the drain pipe 3, it is discharged through the drain pipe 3.

[0059] When the weather is hot, the cylinder controls the first sealing disc 4 and the second sealing disc 5 to move away from the partition 6, and positions the first sealing disc 4 between the water inlet pipe 2 and the lower drain pipe 3. Under the action of the first sealing disc 4, the lower drain pipe 3 is blocked, and the water inlet pipe 2 and the water supply pipe 1 are connected in the cavity between the first sealing disc 4 and the partition 6. At the same time, the water pressure and flow rate of the water inlet pipe 2 are increased to cope with the subsequent large-scale sprinkler irrigation.

[0060] Please see Figures 1-3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 12 The sprinkler mechanism includes a through groove 901 and a through hole 902 formed on the piston disc 9. A one-way valve is installed in the through hole 902. A telescopic tube 10 is provided at one end of the piston disc 9 away from the partition plate 6, which is in communication with the through groove 901. A plurality of nozzles 11 are provided on the telescopic tube 10, which pass through the water supply pipe 1 and are distributed equidistantly in a circle. The sprinkler mechanism also includes an upper push rod 12 provided on the piston disc 9 and passing through the water supply pipe 1. A movable plate 13 is provided at the end of the upper push rod 12. A connecting rod 15 hinged to the movable plate 13 and hinged to the nozzle 11 is provided. A first spring 14 is sleeved on the upper push rod 12. The two ends of the first spring 14 abut against the piston disc 9 and the water supply pipe 1, respectively.

[0061] Please see Figure 9 In detail, in the initial state, the piston disc 9 is located at the end of its stroke near the partition 6, that is, the distance between the piston disc 9 and the top of the water supply pipe 1 is the largest. The extension of the first spring 14 in its natural state is greater than the maximum distance between the piston disc 9 and the top of the water supply pipe 1. Therefore, the first spring 14 always provides the piston disc 9 with a thrust in the direction near the partition 6. Under the action of the piston disc 9, the upper push rod 12 controls the movable plate 13 to be located at the end of its stroke near the water supply pipe 1, so as to control the angle between the nozzle 11 and the water supply pipe 1 to be the smallest through the connecting rod 15. In this state, both the upper delivery chamber and the lower delivery chamber are filled with water.

[0062] When the second conduit 8 is blocked and the first conduit 7 pumps water from the water supply pipe 1 to the lower delivery chamber, the water in the lower delivery chamber will enter the telescopic pipe 10 through the through groove 901 and be discharged through the nozzle 11. When the first conduit 7 is blocked and the second conduit 8 pumps water from the water supply pipe 1 to the upper delivery chamber, the water in the upper delivery chamber will enter the lower delivery chamber through the one-way valve, and then enter the telescopic pipe 10 through the through groove 901 until it is discharged through the nozzle 11. By changing the pumping position of the water flow, the position of the piston disc 9 can be adjusted, thereby controlling the movement of the movable plate 13 through the upper push rod 12, and adjusting the spraying range of the nozzle 11 through the connecting rod 15.

[0063] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 The conduction control mechanism includes a fixed sleeve 17 disposed on the partition 6. A spiral groove 1701 is formed on the outer circumferential wall of the fixed sleeve 17. A movable sleeve 18 is slidably disposed on the fixed sleeve 17. A limiting block 1801 is disposed on the inner wall of the movable sleeve 18 and slides into the spiral groove 1701. A rotating plate 19 is disposed on the movable sleeve 18. A sealing ring 20 is disposed at the end of the rotating plate 19 and seals against the water supply pipe 1. A discharge groove 2001 is formed on the sealing ring 20 and conducts through the first conduit 7 and the second conduit 8. A second spring 21 is sleeved on the fixed sleeve 17. The two ends of the second spring 21 abut against the partition 6 and the rotating plate 19, respectively.

[0064] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 , Figure 11The triggering switching mechanism includes a lower push rod 29 disposed on the side wall of the piston disc 9 and penetrating the partition plate 6. A support plate 16 is rotatably mounted on the end of the lower push rod 29. A guide post 22, which is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 19, is slidably mounted on the support plate 16. A limit ring 23 is disposed on the guide post 22. A third spring 24, which abuts against the limit ring 23 and the support plate 16, is sleeved on the guide post 22. The mechanism also includes a limiting component and a guiding component disposed on the fixed sleeve 17 and connected to the limit ring 23. The limiting component includes a rotating ring rotatably mounted on the fixed sleeve 17. The rotating ring is provided with symmetrically arranged support sleeves 25. A support rod 26 is axially slidably disposed inside the support sleeve 25 and abuts against the limiting ring 23. The guiding assembly includes a groove 2501 formed on the outer circumference of the support sleeve 25. A limiting post 2601 is provided on the support rod 26 and slides into the groove 2501. A fourth spring 27 is sleeved on the support sleeve 25 and the support rod 26. The two ends of the fourth spring 27 abut against the rotating ring and the limiting post 2601, respectively. A limiting plate 28 is provided on the support plate 16 and abuts against the limiting post 2601.

[0065] Please see Figure 10 Furthermore, the limiting plate 28 is designed to protrude in the middle, and can be divided into five segments from top to bottom in the vertical plane, namely the first vertical segment, the first inclined segment, the second vertical segment, the second inclined segment, and the third vertical segment;

[0066] Please see Figure 8 In the initial state, the movable sleeve 18 and the rotating plate 19 are located at the end of their stroke away from the partition 6, that is, the distance between the rotating plate 19 and the partition 6 is the largest, so that the limiting block 1801 is located at the end of the stroke of the spiral groove 1701 away from the partition 6. The extension of the second spring 21 in its natural state is greater than the maximum distance between the rotating plate 19 and the partition 6. Therefore, the second spring 21 always provides the rotating plate 19 with a thrust in the direction away from the partition 6. In this state, the rotating plate 19 will control the discharge groove 2001 to be in a conductive state with the first conduit 7 through the sealing ring 20, and block the second conduit 8.

[0067] The piston disc 9 is located at the end of its stroke near the partition 6, thereby controlling the support plate 16 to be located at the end of its stroke away from the partition 6 via the push rod 29. At this time, the distance between the support plate 16 and the rotating plate 19 is the largest, that is, the distance between the support plate 16 and the limiting ring 23 is the largest. The extension of the third spring 24 in its natural state is greater than the maximum distance between the support plate 16 and the rotating plate 19. Therefore, the third spring 24 is in a pre-compressed state and always provides the rotating plate 19 with a thrust in the direction away from the limiting ring 23. At this time, the elastic potential energy of the third spring 24 is less than the elastic potential energy of the second spring 21.

[0068] In this state, the distance between the rotating plate 19 and the rotating ring is the smallest, and the support rod 26 is just above the limiting ring 23. At this time, the limiting post 2601 is located at the connection position of the first vertical section and the first inclined section of the limiting plate 28, and is located at the end of the stroke of the slot 2501 near the rotating ring, so that the support rod 26 is located at the end of the stroke near the rotating ring. At this time, the distance between the limiting post 2601 and the rotating ring is the smallest, and the extension of the fourth spring 27 in its natural state is greater than the minimum distance between the limiting post 2601 and the rotating ring. Therefore, the fourth spring 27 is in a pre-compressed state and always provides the limiting post 2601 with a thrust in the direction away from the rotating ring.

[0069] When top irrigation is required, the lower drain pipe 3 is blocked under the action of the first sealing disc 4, and the water inlet pipe 2, the lower drain pipe 3, and the first conduit 7 are connected. The pumping capacity of the first conduit 7 under normal pressure is greater than the discharge capacity of the channel 901 and the spraying capacity of the nozzle 11, while the pumping capacity of the one-way valve under normal pressure is less than the discharge capacity of the channel 901 and the nozzle 11. As a result, the water in the lower conveying chamber will enter the telescopic pipe 10 through the channel 901 and be discharged through the nozzle 11. At the same time, the water pressure in the lower conveying chamber gradually increases and pushes the piston disc 9 to move away from the partition 6, thereby compressing the first spring 14. At this time, the water in the upper conveying chamber will enter the lower conveying chamber through the one-way valve.

[0070] The piston disc 9 will drive the upper push rod 12 to move, and through the movable plate 13 and the connecting rod 15, control the angle between the nozzle 11 and the water supply pipe 1 to increase, thereby increasing the spraying range of the nozzle 11.

[0071] The piston disc 9 will also drive the lower push rod 29 to move, causing the support plate 16 to move towards the partition plate 6. The support plate 16 will compress the third spring 24. Since the elastic potential energy of the third spring 24 in this state is less than that of the second spring 21, the height of the limiting ring 23, the guide post 22, and the rotating plate 19 will not change. The support plate 16 will also drive the limiting plate 28 to move, causing the first vertical section of the limiting plate 28 to separate from the limiting post 2601. Under the action of the fourth spring 27, the limiting post 2601 will be pushed to move into the first inclined section, causing the support rod 26 to move to fit against the side of the limiting ring 23 near the rotating plate 19. Under the limiting action of the support rod 26, the limiting ring 23 cannot move towards the partition plate 6.

[0072] As the piston disc 9 continues to move, the third spring 24 is continuously compressed under the action of the support plate 16, and the elastic potential energy of the third spring 24 will exceed that of the second spring 21, causing the limiting ring 23, guide post 22, and rotating plate 19 to tend to move towards the partition 6. The limiting post 2601 will slide along the first inclined section, the second vertical section, and the second inclined section. When the piston disc 9 moves to the end of its stroke, that is, when the size of the lower conveying chamber reaches its maximum, the limiting post 2601 moves to the connection position of the second inclined section and the third vertical section, causing the support rod 26 to separate from the limiting ring 23 again.

[0073] At this time, the third spring 24 is released elastically and pushes the guide column 22 to move through the limiting ring 23. This causes the movable sleeve 18 to slide along the axial direction of the fixed sleeve 17 through the rotating plate 19, so that the limiting block 1801 slides along the spiral groove 1701. Under the action of the limiting block 1801 and the spiral groove 1701, the movable sleeve 18 drives the rotating plate 19 to move around the fixed sleeve 17, thereby adjusting the position of the sealing ring 20. When the limiting block 1801 moves to the end of the stroke on the other side of the spiral groove 1701, the rotating plate 19 reaches the maximum rotation angle, and the limiting ring 23 just moves to the position above the support rod 26. At this time, the discharge groove 2001 separates from the first conduit 7 and moves to the position of connecting with the second conduit 8. In this way, the conduction states of the first conduit 7 and the second conduit 8 are interchanged, and the water in the water supply pipe 1 will be pumped to the upper delivery chamber through the second conduit 8.

[0074] In this state, since the pumping rate of the check valve under normal pressure is less than the discharge rate of the through channel 901, when the second conduit 8 delivers water to the upper delivery chamber, as the water pressure in the upper delivery chamber gradually increases, the pressure in the upper delivery chamber will exceed that in the lower delivery chamber, causing the water in the upper delivery chamber to be delivered to the lower delivery chamber through the check valve at a greater pressure. Under the action of water pressure, the piston disc 9 will also be pushed to move toward the initial position. The piston disc 9 will control the movable plate 13 to reset through the upper push rod 12, and control the angle between the nozzle 11 and the water supply pipe 1 to decrease through the connecting rod 15, so that the spraying range of the nozzle 11 is in a state of continuous change.

[0075] The piston disc 9 will also drive the support plate 16 to move via the push rod 29. Since the elastic potential energy of the third spring 24 is greater than that of the second spring 21 in this state, the third spring 24 controls the position of the limiting ring 23 to remain unchanged and gradually releases the elastic potential energy. The support plate 16 will also drive the limiting plate 28 to move, so that the limiting post 2601 moves into the second inclined section. Under the action of the fourth spring 27, the support rod 26 is controlled to fit against the side of the limiting ring 23 away from the partition 6, thereby locking the position of the limiting ring 23 again and ensuring that the angle of the rotating plate 19 will not change during the piston disc 9 reset process.

[0076] When the piston disc 9 is reset, the elastic potential energy of the second spring 21 is greater than that of the third spring 24. The limiting post 2601 moves to the position where the first vertical section and the first inclined section of the limiting plate 28 are connected, so that the support rod 26 is separated from the limiting ring 23 again. At this time, the second spring 21 is released elastically and pushes the movable sleeve 18 and the rotating plate 19 to move. Under the action of the limiting block 1801 and the spiral groove 1701, the rotation angle of the rotating plate 19 is reset, so that the discharge groove 2001 is connected to the first conduit 7 again through the sealing ring 20, and the second conduit 8 is blocked.

[0077] By repeating the above steps, the spraying range of the sprinkler head 11 is continuously adjusted. During one cycle of the oscillation motion of the sprinkler head 11, the spraying water pressure of the sprinkler head 11 is controlled to fluctuate from low to high, so as to achieve the periodic alternation of the irrigation range and the irrigation intensity. This dynamic irrigation mode simulates the fluctuation characteristics of natural rainfall, so that the irrigation water can act on the crops with different kinetic energy and coverage range, which not only ensures uniform leaf surface wetting, but also promotes the efficiency of water penetration into the root system.

[0078] During the stage where the sway angle of the sprinkler head 11 increases and the irrigation range expands, the water supply pressure is relatively low at this time, forming a gentle atomized spray, which effectively expands the wet perimeter and reduces the water supply to the overlapping area with other sprinkler irrigation devices, avoiding problems such as soil erosion caused by excessive water spray in the overlapping area. When the sway angle of the sprinkler head 11 decreases and the irrigation range narrows, it is in a high-pressure water supply state, forming a concentrated water jet, which enhances the water penetration. This periodic pressure fluctuation and angle change enables both wide-area coverage and local deep irrigation to be achieved throughout the entire operation cycle of sprinkler irrigation.

[0079] A floating, alternating water-saving irrigation method includes the following steps:

[0080] Step 1: Control the water supply pipe 1, water inlet pipe 2, and drain pipe 3 to be interconnected through the first sealing plate 4 and the second sealing plate 5, and perform micro-irrigation through the drain pipe 3;

[0081] Step 2: The lower pipe 3 is blocked by the second sealing disc 5, and the first conduit 7 is connected to the lower delivery chamber under the action of the conduction control mechanism, while the second conduit 8 is in a blocked state.

[0082] Step 3: Water in the water supply pipe 1 enters the lower delivery chamber through the first conduit 7 and pushes the piston disc 9, thereby performing a large-scale sprinkler irrigation action through the sprinkler irrigation mechanism;

[0083] Step 4: When the piston disc 9 moves to the end of its stroke, the switching mechanism is triggered to control the movement of the conduction control mechanism, so that the first conduit 7 is blocked and the second conduit 8 is connected to the lower delivery chamber.

[0084] Step 5: Water in the water supply pipe 1 enters the lower delivery chamber through the second conduit 8 and drives the piston disc 9 to reset, thereby performing the sprinkler irrigation action in a pressure fluctuation state through the sprinkler irrigation mechanism.

[0085] 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.
