Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of smart agriculture and water-saving irrigation equipment, in particular to a dynamic optimization and intelligent control system and method for drip irrigation pipe materials used in smart agriculture. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of smart agriculture water-saving irrigation, drip irrigation technology has become the mainstream due to its "precise water supply and high water resource utilization rate", but the traditional drip irrigation system has four major problems, which cannot meet the needs of large-scale and fine planting: Pipe material parameters are fixed and have poor adaptability: the material, pipe diameter and wall thickness of the traditional drip irrigation pipe material are pre-set at the factory, and cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the crop growth period (such as low water requirement in the seedling stage and high water requirement in the flowering and fruiting stage) and soil characteristics (different flow rates are required for sandy loam and clay), resulting in energy waste (more than 30%) in the seedling stage, insufficient water supply (irrigation uniformity < 85%) in the flowering and fruiting stage, or pipe rupture due to mismatch of pipe wall thickness and soil pressure (failure rate more than 15%).
[0003] Monitoring is extensive and control is lagging: the traditional system relies mainly on a single soil moisture sensor, lacks multi-dimensional monitoring of weather, pipe pressure and dripper flow, data update interval is more than 10 minutes, and there is no abnormal diagnosis function, so pipe blockage and sudden pressure changes are difficult to discover in time; control only uses simple on-off control without PID precise regulation, pipe flow fluctuation is more than ±10%, dripper flow deviation is more than 15%, and irrigation uniformity is low.
[0004] High energy consumption and serious resource waste: the traditional variable frequency pump has no fuzzy control strategy, the start-stop impact current is more than 2 times the rated current, which not only damages the equipment but also increases the energy consumption by more than 20%; and the irrigation plan is not adjusted in combination with weather forecasts (such as rainfall), so rainwater and irrigation water are superimposed to cause soil over-wetting (water content more than 90% of the field water holding capacity), or water evaporation loss is more than 30% when the flow rate is not optimized in high temperature.
[0005] Weak emergency and maintenance capability: the traditional system has no extreme weather emergency mechanism, the pipe is prone to freezing (pipe freeze cracking rate more than 20%) in low temperature and water evaporation is too fast in high temperature; and there is no pipe life prediction, so regular manual inspection is required, and if replacement is not timely, it may cause water leakage (water resource waste more than 10%), and there is no fault positioning means, so it takes more than 2 hours / acre to check the blockage or damage.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a "dynamic adaptation, precise monitoring, intelligent control and reliable emergency" drip irrigation system to solve the above technical problems. SUMMARY

[0023] The dynamic pipe material optimization unit also includes a pipe material life prediction sub-module, which collects pipe material use environment parameters (soil value 4.5-8.5, temperature -10℃-40℃, microbial content) and operating parameters (pressure fluctuation frequency, water flow rate change), and constructs a life prediction model ( for the standard environment life, for the pressure fluctuation value, for the temperature deviation, for the neutral value deviation, =0.02, =0.01, =0.03 are attenuation coefficients), and the prediction accuracy is ≤±5%; when the predicted remaining life is ≤1 year, the system automatically pushes the pipe replacement reminder to the administrator terminal, and matches the recommended same type or upgraded pipe material parameters (such as the original PE pipe material anti-aging is insufficient, the modified PE pipe material with 10% nanometer titanium dioxide is recommended, and the aging life is extended by 50%). In addition, the unit has a built-in pipe material database (containing more than 50 common drip irrigation pipe material parameters, including material composition, hydraulic property curve, weather resistance index), which supports updating the database parameters according to new crop varieties or soil improvement, and completes the pipe optimization algorithm adaptation within 24 hours after updating.
[0024] The multi-source perception monitoring module also includes a data preprocessing and anomaly diagnosis sub-module, which uses a sliding average filtering algorithm ( =10 is a filter window, is the first acquired data) removes random noise, noise suppression ratio ≥ 25dB; the abnormal value processing adopts criteria, a parameter sequence , ,..., , the mean value and the standard deviation are calculated, if , it is determined as an abnormal value, and a linear interpolation method is used for correction; the abnormal diagnosis sub-module diagnoses the sensor data correlation (such as soil moisture sudden drop but no irrigation record, it is determined that the pipe material may leak), in combination with the pipe pressure sudden change threshold =0.05MPa (if the pressure change exceeds the threshold within 10s, the leakage alarm is triggered), the diagnosis accuracy is ≥92%; the sensor node is equipped with a solar power supply unit (10W photovoltaic panel + 50Ah lithium battery, endurance ≥72h without light), supports low power automatic sleep (when the remaining power is ≤20%, the sampling frequency is reduced to 1 / 30min), and guarantees the monitoring continuity.
[0025] The intelligent control execution module also includes a dripper flow uniformity compensation sub-module, which acquires pressure data at different positions (inlet, middle, and end) through a pipe pressure sensor, calculates the pressure difference , and when >0.03MPa, the end electromagnetic regulating valve opening compensation is started: the adjustment formula is , is the end valve opening, is the inlet valve opening, =0.1MPa is the maximum allowable pressure difference), to ensure that the whole pipe section dripper flow deviation is ≤5%.

[0026] Example 2 Please refer to Figures 1-5 , and on the basis of example 1, it is further obtained that another technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a dynamic optimization and intelligent control method for drip irrigation pipe material for smart agriculture, applied to the above system, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Pipe parameter initialization. The central control module calls the cloud database and, based on crop type (e.g., vegetables, fruit trees), soil type (sandy loam, clay), and planting area (1-100 acres), initially matches the pipe material (e.g., PE for vegetables, PVC for fruit trees), pipe diameter (20-32mm for sandy loam, 16-25mm for clay), and wall thickness (2.5mm for 0.5m coverage depth, 3.5mm for 1.0m coverage depth), generating an initial parameter scheme. Step 2: Multi-source data acquisition. The multi-source sensing and monitoring module collects soil moisture data at a set frequency. Soil temperature Rainfall Pipe pressure and dripper flow rate After preprocessing, the data is transmitted to the central control module, where soil moisture thresholds are set. (Vegetables require 80%-90% field water holding capacity, and fruit trees require 60%-70%). Step 3: Dynamic optimization of pipe materials. The central control module inputs the collected data into the optimization algorithm to calculate the irrigation uniformity of the current pipe material parameters. (According to Christensen's uniformity formula) , For single dropper flow rate, For average flow rate, (Number of drippers) and energy consumption If or > ( (For rated unit energy consumption), then adjust the pipe diameter (according to) , =95) or wall thickness (according to , This represents the actual soil pressure. To allow for pressure, an optimized parameter scheme is generated and pushed to the cloud for filing; Step four: Intelligent irrigation regulation. The central control module adjusts irrigation based on soil moisture deviations. Combined with meteorological forecasts of rainfall Calculate the required irrigation amount ( For soil bulk density, For root depth, To improve irrigation efficiency, a PID algorithm outputs control signals to the variable frequency pump and solenoid valve, adjusting the water supply pressure (0.15-0.25MPa) and flow rate (according to...). , (for irrigation duration), and simultaneously collect real-time dripper flow feedback; if necessary, pressure compensation will be activated. Step five, feedback and update, after irrigation, the system calculates the uniformity and energy consumption of this irrigation, compares with historical data, if the deviation is more than 10%, the optimization algorithm weight coefficient is corrected 、 , and the cloud crop irrigation model is updated to ensure the accuracy of subsequent regulation.
[0027] Step three, dynamic optimization of pipe material also includes adaptive adjustment of crop growth period: during seedling stage, the crop water requirement is low, small diameter pipe material (16-20mm) and low flow rate dripper (0.5-1.0L / h) are selected to reduce energy consumption; during flowering and fruiting stage, the water requirement is high, large diameter pipe material (32-40mm) and high flow rate dripper (2.0-3.0L / h) are switched, and the wall thickness is increased (from 2.5mm to 3.0mm) to withstand higher water supply pressure; during post-harvest period, irrigation frequency is reduced and small diameter pipe material parameters are restored. During the adaptive adjustment process, the system predicts the optimal parameters of pipe material at different growth stages through machine learning model (random forest algorithm), the model input is growth period, historical water requirement, and soil moisture change rate, and the output is pipe diameter, wall thickness, and dripper flow rate recommendation value, with a prediction error of ≤8%. In addition, for rotation scenarios (such as growing tomatoes in spring and Chinese cabbage in autumn), the system automatically completes pipe material parameter pre-optimization 72 hours before crop switching to avoid irrigation interruption.
[0028] Step four, intelligent irrigation regulation also includes extreme weather emergency strategy: when the weather sensor detects high temperature (T>35℃) and wind speed >5m / s, the system shortens the irrigation interval (from original 8h / time to 4h / time), and reduces the pipe flow rate (from 1.2m / s to 0.8m / s) to reduce water evaporation loss; when low temperature (T<5℃) is detected, the water supply temperature is increased (through pipe heating device to maintain water temperature at 10-15℃), and the pipe wall thickness is increased (from 3.0mm to 3.5mm) to enhance the insulation property to avoid pipe freezing; when the predicted rainfall >20mm, delay irrigation and reduce pipe pressure setting value (from 0.2MPa to 0.1MPa) to prevent rainwater and irrigation water from overlapping to cause soil over-wetting. When the emergency strategy is triggered, the system sends warning information (including emergency regulation parameters and reasons) to the management personnel, and restores the normal regulation parameters within 2 hours after the emergency ends.
[0029] The system can also integrate a drone inspection module. The drone (equipped with a 12-megapixel high-definition camera and a 640×512 resolution infrared thermal imager) will photograph the drip irrigation pipe distribution area along a preset path (inspecting once every 24 hours). Using an image recognition algorithm (improved YOLOv8 model), it will detect pipe damage, exposure, or blockage. Damage identification accuracy is ≥95%. Blockage identification is based on temperature differences in the dripper outlet area (the temperature around a blocked dripper is 5-8℃ lower). After identification, the system generates fault location coordinates (error ≤1m) and pushes them to the control system. The system automatically closes the valves in the fault area and adjusts the flow rate of pipes in other areas (according to...). , Traffic in the faulty area This represents the area of the normal region. (Total area), ensuring overall irrigation uniformity; methodologically, soil moisture and crop growth images (collected by drones) can be combined, using crop growth models. ( Plant height, =0.5、 =0.3、 =0.2 is the coefficient, and I is the irrigation amount) to correct the irrigation amount and pipe material parameters, realize the whole closed loop of "sensing-optimization-control-feedback", and increase crop yield by 10%-15% and water resource utilization rate by 20%-25%.

The central control module calls the cloud database to initially match the pipe material, pipe diameter and wall thickness according to the crop type, soil type and planting area, and generate an initial parameter scheme. Step 2: Multi-source data acquisition. The multi-source sensing and monitoring module collects soil moisture data at a set frequency. Soil temperature Rainfall Pipe pressure and dripper flow rate After preprocessing, the data is transmitted to the central control module, where soil moisture thresholds are set. ; Step 3: Dynamic optimization of pipe materials.

The method for dynamic optimization and intelligent control of drip irrigation pipes for smart agriculture according to claim 5, characterized in that, Step four, intelligent irrigation control, also includes extreme weather emergency strategies: when the meteorological sensor detects high temperatures and wind speeds >5m / s, the system shortens the irrigation interval and reduces the water flow velocity in the pipes to minimize water evaporation loss; when low temperatures are detected, the system increases the water supply temperature and increases the pipe wall thickness to enhance insulation and prevent icing inside the pipes; when rainfall is predicted... When the water level exceeds 20mm, irrigation is delayed and the pipe pressure setting is reduced to prevent the soil from becoming overly wet due to the accumulation of rainwater and irrigation water. When the emergency strategy is triggered, the system sends a warning to administrators, and normal control parameters are restored within 2 hours after the emergency ends.
