Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Due to its unique light and climate conditions, the highland area has become an important production area of characteristic agricultural products. However, the agricultural production in this region has long been facing severe water resource constraints. The uneven temporal and spatial distribution of water resources, strong evaporation, and weak soil water retention capacity make irrigation a key to ensure crop growth. Currently, the widely used traditional methods such as flood irrigation not only waste extremely valuable water resources, but also easily cause ecological problems such as soil compaction, salinization, and nutrient loss. With the development of the Internet of Things and intelligent control technology, automatic irrigation systems based on sensors have begun to be applied in modern agriculture. These systems usually deploy soil moisture sensors and combine simple threshold control logic to achieve a certain degree of automatic irrigation. However, such general systems expose inherent defects in the harsh natural environment of the highlands. Firstly, the core sensing devices of these systems are designed for conventional environments and are difficult to work stably for a long time under strong ultraviolet radiation, drastic day-night temperature difference, and low pressure conditions. Secondly, the complex terrain of the highlands poses a challenge to wireless communication. There are many blind spots in the coverage of commonly used cellular networks or Wi-Fi signals, and the continuity and reliability of system data transmission cannot be guaranteed.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0014] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the overall system structure of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The technical solutions in the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the present application. In addition, the forms of the structures described in the following embodiments are only examples. The highland crop water-saving irrigation management system based on the Internet of Things to which the present application relates is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0016] With reference to Figure 1 The present application provides a highland crop water-saving irrigation management system based on the Internet of Things, comprising an environment unit, a crop unit, a starting unit, an irrigation unit, a center unit, a correction unit, a forced unit, a communication unit, a fault unit and an energy unit. The environment unit is used to collect environmental data in the highlands. The crop unit is used to collect data of highland crops. The starting unit is used to control whether to perform irrigation operation. The irrigation unit performs crop water-saving irrigation. The center unit is used to calculate irrigation value GG when the irrigation unit performs irrigation. The correction unit is used to correct calculation in the center unit. The forced unit performs forced irrigation operation. The communication unit performs data transmission and communication work between units. The fault unit is used to detect leakage of irrigation water pipes.

[0017] With reference to Figure 1 The environment unit collects environmental temperature data HW, current air pressure data and ultraviolet intensity data ZW of the environment in which highland crops are generated. The crop unit collects canopy temperature data GW and leaf area index data YM. The environment unit sends the collected data to the starting unit and the correction unit. When the environment unit and the crop unit collect data, the data in the environment unit is collected by a weather station. The data in the crop unit is collected by a low-power narrowband image sensor. The low-power narrowband image sensor is externally provided with a heat preservation and insulation shell. An anti-ultraviolet coating is brushed on the surface of the heat preservation and insulation shell.

[0018] In the embodiments of the present application, a weather station and a low-power narrowband image sensor are used as specific collection devices. The weather station is a standardized device for environmental monitoring, and its data is authoritative. The narrowband image sensor captures specific spectral bands of crop canopy temperature and leaf area index, and has high data accuracy. The external heat preservation and insulation shell directly addresses the challenge of large diurnal temperature difference in highlands, protects the internal electronic elements of the sensor from the influence of low temperature to prevent precision decline or failure, and the anti-ultraviolet coating is designed for strong ultraviolet radiation in highlands, so that the present application can also perform accurate data collection work in highland environment.

[0019] With reference to Figure 1The starting unit receives the ambient temperature data HW in the environment unit and the temperature data GW in the crop unit and calculates a temperature difference WC, and the calculation formula of the temperature difference WC is The starting unit compares the calculated temperature difference WC with a starting threshold QY in the starting unit, when the temperature difference WC > the starting threshold QY, the starting unit sends an irrigation instruction to the irrigation unit, the irrigation unit receives the irrigation instruction to perform the irrigation operation, when the temperature difference WC ≤ the starting threshold QY, the starting unit does not send the instruction, and the irrigation unit does not perform the irrigation operation when the starting unit does not send the instruction.

[0020] In the embodiment of the application, the crops cool the leaves through transpiration, when the water supply is sufficient, the transpiration is strong, and the canopy temperature is usually lower than the ambient temperature, when the soil moisture is insufficient, the crops partially close the stomata to save water, resulting in weakened transpiration and increased canopy temperature, therefore, the canopy temperature data GW and the ambient temperature data HW are the golden indicators for measuring the degree of crop water stress, when the temperature difference WC > the starting threshold QY, it indicates that the crops need to perform the irrigation operation at this time, and when the temperature difference WC ≤ the starting threshold QY, the irrigation operation is not needed at this time, thereby achieving the water-saving effect, the irrigation operation can be performed in time when the water is insufficient, and the irrigation operation is not performed when the water is sufficient, thereby achieving the water-saving effect.

[0021] With reference to Figure 1 The center unit receives the data collected by the environment unit and the crop unit and calculates an irrigation value GG, and the calculation formula of the irrigation value GG is In the formula, ZS is the evapotranspiration of the plateau crops, JS is the current rainfall in the plateau region, and CS is the current soil water storage in the plateau region, and the calculation formula of the evapotranspiration ZS of the plateau crops is In the formula, XZ is the plateau crop correction coefficient, and ZS0 is the standard evapotranspiration of the crops, and the plateau crop correction coefficient XZ is calculated by the correction unit, and the irrigation unit sends the calculated irrigation value GG to the irrigation unit and the fault unit.

[0022] In the embodiment of the application, the standard evapotranspiration ZS0 and the plateau correction coefficient XZ are used to calculate the irrigation amount GG, the standard evapotranspiration ZS0 can be obtained by referring to the mature Penman-Monteith international general algorithm, and the plateau crop correction coefficient XZ is dynamically adjusted by the correction unit according to the plateau environment, so that the calculated irrigation amount GG is adapted to the crops in the plateau environment, and therefore the calculated irrigation amount GG is more accurate, thereby achieving the water-saving effect.

[0023] With reference to Figure 1 When the correction unit calculates the plateau crop correction coefficient XZ, the calculation formula is In the formula, TR is the soil moisture stress coefficient, and GY is the plateau environmental stress coefficient, which is calculated using the following formula: In the formula, k1, k2 and k3 are all weighting coefficients, BQ is the standard atmospheric pressure of air, BZ is the optimal temperature for crop growth, BX is the historical extreme minimum temperature data of the region, and JZ is the average ultraviolet intensity of the plateau region. The correction unit calculates the plateau crop correction coefficient XZ every fifteen minutes.

[0024] In this embodiment of the application, when calculating the weighting coefficients k1, k2 and k3, experiments are conducted at test points with different altitudes and different climatic conditions. The final yield of each point is recorded, the influencing factors of air pressure, temperature and external radiation on yield variation are identified, and the weights are determined according to their variance contribution rate, thereby calculating the weighting coefficients k1, k2 and k3.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 The forced unit is used to collect soil moisture data TS in the plateau crops, and the forced unit compares the collected soil moisture data with its internal moisture threshold SY. When the soil moisture data TS < moisture threshold SY, the forced unit sends a forced start command to the irrigation unit. The irrigation unit receives the forced start command and starts irrigation directly. When the soil moisture data TS ≥ moisture threshold SY, the forced unit is in a dormant state.

[0026] In this embodiment, when the canopy temperature signal is abnormal due to weather, the forced unit is activated as a safety backup to prevent crops from suffering severe drought due to system failure. This greatly improves the reliability and agronomic safety of the entire system. In some areas of the plateau where the soil has extremely poor water retention capacity, relying solely on canopy temperature difference may result in irrigation frequency not keeping up with the rate of water loss. The forced unit directly monitors root zone moisture, which can safeguard the minimum water level for crop survival under such circumstances, demonstrating the comprehensiveness of the system design.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 The communication unit integrates a LoRa module, a satellite communication module, and a cache module. The LoRa module performs short-range communication within five kilometers, the satellite communication module performs long-range communication of five kilometers and above, and the cache module is used to store data when communication between the LoRa module and the satellite communication module is interrupted.

[0028] In this embodiment, the LoRa module is responsible for short-range, low-power networking in the field, aggregating scattered sensor data to the gateway at the edge of the field, solving the communication problem of a large number of widely distributed sensor nodes. The satellite communication module serves as the backbone link, responsible for transmitting gateway data back to the remote cloud platform or control center, solving the problem of blind spots in cellular network signal coverage in remote plateau areas. The caching module can cache data locally when the network is interrupted, and resume transmission after the link is restored, ensuring the integrity and continuity of the data.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 The irrigation unit employs drip irrigation and micro-sprinkler irrigation for water-saving irrigation of highland crops. During irrigation, flow meters are installed at the outlets of the drip and micro-sprinkler systems. The irrigation unit transmits the flow data LL collected by the flow meters to a fault unit. The fault unit receives the flow data LL and the irrigation value GG, and calculates the water flow difference SC. The formula for calculating the water flow difference SC is as follows: The fault unit compares the calculated water flow difference SC with its internal pipe consumption threshold GH. When the water flow difference SC > the pipe consumption threshold GH, the fault unit issues a leak warning to remind that the water pipe is leaking. When the water flow difference SC ≤ the pipe consumption threshold GH, the fault unit is in a dormant state.

[0030] In this embodiment, traditional pipeline leaks are detected by manual inspection, which is often delayed and inefficient. The water flow difference SC calculated in this application is the difference between the outflow rate collected by the flow meter and the irrigation value GG. When it exceeds the pipe consumption threshold GH, it indicates that the water is being over-consumed and there is a possibility of leakage. Therefore, timely warnings are issued, and repairs are carried out quickly to avoid water waste.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 When the irrigation unit receives the irrigation value GG and performs irrigation, the irrigation amount is the irrigation value GG + the pipe consumption threshold GH. The energy unit is equipped with a 200Wh battery, a 100W UV-resistant solar panel and a 50W wind turbine. The 200Wh battery is used for energy supply, and the 100W UV-resistant solar panel and the 50W wind turbine charge the 200Wh battery.

[0032] In this embodiment, during irrigation, the pipe consumption threshold GH is increased to supplement the irrigation value GG, thereby ensuring that the actual water output meets the irrigation requirements and that no excessive water is lost, thus avoiding waste. Plateau regions often have abundant sunshine and wind resources, but weak power grid coverage. This application, through the configuration of a 200Wh battery + 100W solar panel + 50W wind turbine, makes full use of local natural resources to form an efficient and reliable wind-solar-storage microgrid that can supply its own energy and ensures that the whole system can work normally.

[0033] The above embodiments can be implemented, in whole or in part, by software, hardware, firmware, or any other combination thereof. When implemented in software, the above embodiments can be implemented, in whole or in part, as a computer program product. The units and algorithm steps of the various examples described in the embodiments can be implemented in electronic hardware or a combination of computer software and electronic hardware. Whether these functions are implemented in hardware or software depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution.
