Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of agricultural irrigation technology, specifically referring to an intelligent device for crop irrigation. Background Technology
[0002] In agricultural planting and maintenance, plants need to be watered frequently. When irrigating crops, groundwater or deep well water is often used. These water sources are far from the ground surface, so the water temperature is usually low, especially in the hot summer. The temperature difference between the water and the ground air is large. In summer, due to the high air temperature and the sun's exposure, a large part of the water evaporates after being sprayed onto the plant surface and soil. The air humidity is also high, making it easy for condensation to form on the pipe walls during irrigation. This accelerates the consumption of water resources and seriously reduces the utilization rate of irrigation water. The condensate droplets on the pipe walls are loosely distributed and easily evaporate under high temperature, sun exposure, and air circulation, failing to be used for crop irrigation and resulting in water waste. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides an intelligent irrigation device for crops, which can concentrate the condensate on the pipe wall for crop irrigation, effectively improving the utilization rate of irrigation water.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: The present invention provides an intelligent irrigation device for crops, including a water distribution valve, a drain pipe and a water collector. The drain pipe is located on one side of the water distribution valve, and the water collector is slidably located on the drain pipe. The water distribution valve is rotatably equipped with a control turbine and a reversing valve.
[0005] Furthermore, the water distribution valve includes an inlet chamber, a distribution chamber, and a drain chamber. The inlet chamber is located on the side of the distribution chamber furthest from the drain pipe, and the drain chamber is located on the side of the distribution chamber furthest from the inlet chamber. An inlet pipe is located on the side of the inlet chamber furthest from the distribution chamber. The distribution chamber contains three partitions: partition one, partition two, and partition three. Partition one and partition two are arranged in a T-shape on the distal side of the distribution chamber, and partition three is symmetrically arranged on the side of partition two near the center of the distribution chamber. Partition 1 and Partition 3 are respectively connected to the inner wall of the water distribution chamber. Partition 1, Partition 2 and Partition 3 form symmetrical water distribution channels. Water distribution pipes are respectively provided in the water distribution channels. The water distribution pipes are connected to the water inlet chamber. A through groove is opened on Partition 1. A reversing valve is also provided in the water distribution chamber. The reversing valve includes an electric control shaft and a plug. The electric control shaft is rotatably disposed in the through groove. The plugs are symmetrically disposed on both sides of the electric control shaft. The plugs are fitted with the pipe openings of the water distribution pipes.
[0006] Furthermore, the control turbine is located inside the water distribution chamber, and the control turbine has a central shaft at its center. The central shaft extends through the side wall of the drainage chamber, and a drive gear is located at the end of the central shaft.
[0007] Furthermore, the drainage chamber is symmetrically provided with drainage outlets, and the drainage pipe includes a pipe body and a screw. The screw is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the drainage chamber. A driven gear is provided at the end of the screw near the drainage chamber, and the driven gear meshes with the driving gear. The pipe body is symmetrically arranged above the screw and communicates with the drainage chamber through the drainage outlet. Spray holes are opened on the pipe body, and sliding grooves are symmetrically opened on the side wall of the pipe body. A slot is provided on the side of the screw away from the water distribution valve, and a bracket is provided at the end of the drainage pipe away from the water distribution valve. The bracket is used to support the pipe body and the screw.
[0008] Furthermore, the bracket and the side wall of the water distribution valve are respectively provided with trigger switches, and the trigger switches are connected to the electric control shaft signal.
[0009] Furthermore, the water collector includes a wiper ring, a drip rod, a connecting block, a slider, and a trigger rod. The wiper rings are respectively sleeved on the outside of the pipe body, the drip rod is located at the bottom of the wiper rings, the connecting block is located between the wiper rings, the slider is located at the bottom of the connecting block, the connecting block has a screw hole, the screw hole is threaded with a screw, and the bottom of the slider has trigger rods symmetrically arranged.
[0010] Furthermore, the inner wall of the wiper ring is provided with a limiting block, which fits against the inner wall of the slide groove, and the side wall of the wiper ring is provided with a water guide groove, which can help the water droplets condensed on the side wall of the pipe to gather and fall.
[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention using the above structure are as follows: The intelligent irrigation device for crops provided by this solution connects an external water pipe to an inlet pipe to continuously supply water to the water distribution valve. In the initial state, the reversing valve blocks one of the water distribution pipes, and the water flows out along the other water distribution pipe and drives the control turbine through the water distribution passage on the current side. Driven by the water flow, the control turbine drives the active gear to rotate, and drives the screw to rotate through the passive gear. The screw drives the water collector to move through the screw hole. After the water collector moves to the support, the trigger rod triggers the trigger switch, and the reversing valve rotates to switch the flow of water distribution pipes, changing the direction of water flow so that the screw reverses and the water collector moves in the opposite direction. During the reciprocating motion, the scraper ring on the water collector moves along the side wall of the pipe body, which can gather the dispersed water droplets and make them drip down along the water inlet groove and drip rod to assist irrigation of the crop soil. It can effectively reduce the evaporation of condensate, improve the utilization rate of condensate, and reduce water waste. Attached Figure Description

[0024] In practical use, firstly, select different numbers of pipes 201 and supports 207 according to the size of the planting site, connect the pipes 201 and support them with the corresponding supports 207, select a screw 204 with a pin that fits into the slot 206 at the end near the water distribution valve 1, connect the screws 204 to each other, and install a water collector 3 on the extended pipes 201 and screws 204 to expand the irrigation distance (only the support 207 closest to the water distribution valve 1 needs to be equipped with a trigger switch 208, and the screw 204 closest to the water distribution valve 1 needs to be equipped with a driven gear 205), and connect the external water pipe to the inlet pipe 110 to continuously supply water to the water distribution valve 1.

The screw 204 drives the water collector 3 to move through the screw hole 307. After the water collector 3 moves to the bracket 207, the trigger rod 308 presses the trigger switch 208. The reversing valve 5 rotates after receiving the signal from the trigger switch 208, switching the flow of the water distribution pipe 108 and changing the direction of the water flow, thereby causing the screw 204 to reverse and the water collector 3 to move in the opposite direction. After the water collector 3 moves in the opposite direction to the trigger switch 208 on the water distribution valve 1, it switches again. During the reciprocating motion, the scraper ring 301 on the water collector 3 moves along the side wall of the pipe body 201, which can gather the dispersed condensate droplets and make them drip down along the water inlet trough 303 and the drip rod 304 to assist in the irrigation of the crop soil, improve the utilization rate of irrigation water, and reduce water waste.
