Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of irrigation control technology, specifically to a rainwater irrigation control system for green belts. Background Technology

[0002] In today's rapidly urbanizing world, green belts, as a vital component of urban ecosystems, play an irreplaceable role in improving environmental quality, regulating climate, and beautifying the landscape. However, traditional greening irrigation methods often rely on tap water or surface water, which not only consumes a large amount of precious freshwater resources but also lacks precision, easily leading to water waste and poor plant growth. Especially in areas with abundant rainfall, how to effectively collect, store, and utilize rainwater for greening irrigation has become a critical issue that urgently needs to be addressed in the construction of modern urban water-saving gardens.

[0003] A new rainwater irrigation control system for greenbelts has emerged, combining intelligent sensing technology, automatic control technology, and network communication technology to create an efficient and environmentally friendly irrigation management platform. This system typically comprises several main components, including a rainwater harvesting module, a water storage module, a filtration and purification device, an intelligent control unit, and irrigation actuators. Through soil moisture sensors and other environmental monitoring equipment deployed in the greenbelt, the system can acquire key data such as soil moisture content and rainfall in real time, and automatically adjust the water supply according to a preset irrigation strategy to ensure plants receive adequate water. Furthermore, the system supports remote monitoring and management; users can check the system's operating status and perform necessary operations at any time via mobile terminals or computers, achieving intelligent and refined irrigation management, significantly improving water resource utilization, reducing maintenance costs, and making a positive contribution to the sustainable development of cities.

[0004] Existing irrigation control systems face numerous challenges in rainwater collection, particularly when clogged by natural debris such as leaves. This clogging not only hinders effective rainwater collection, leading to the waste of precious water resources, but can also negatively impact the normal operation of the entire irrigation system. Furthermore, if a component malfunctions or is damaged, design limitations often make rapid replacement difficult, increasing maintenance costs and time, and causing significant inconvenience to daily management. Therefore, this invention presents a rainwater irrigation control system for greenbelts to address these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rainwater irrigation control system for green belts to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A rainwater irrigation control system for green belts includes a water storage tank, a controller, a rotating mechanism, and a screening mechanism. The screening mechanism includes a second collection pipe, with several second collection pipes symmetrically installed on the outside of the second collection pipe. A semi-circular collector is installed on the top of each of the second collection pipes, and a crossbar is installed on the outside of each semi-circular collector. A support rod is installed on the top of each crossbar, and a filter plate is fixedly installed on the outside of the support rod. The screening mechanism can screen out fine impurities mixed in with rainwater.

[0007] The rotating mechanism includes a gravity-driven rotor. A sphere is mounted on the top of the support rod. A circular groove is formed inside the gravity-driven rotor to mate with the sphere. The gravity-driven rotor is mounted by the mating of the sphere and the circular groove. A baffle is movably mounted on the outside of the gravity-driven rotor, and several water inlet holes are symmetrically formed on the outside of the baffle. The rotating mechanism allows for the cleaning of debris adhering to the outside of the baffle.

[0008] Preferably, a connecting pipe is installed on the outside of the water storage tank, the free end of the connecting pipe is connected to a controller, a connecting wire is installed on the top of the controller, and a display is installed on the free end of the connecting wire. The display controls the entire device.

[0009] Preferably, a pump is installed on the side of the controller away from the water storage tank, and a first collection pipe is installed on the outside of the pump. Several second collection pipes are symmetrically installed on the outside of the first collection pipe. The collected rainwater flows into the interior of the first collection pipe through the second collection pipes.

[0010] Preferably, the controller is equipped with an electromagnetic valve located below the pump. A diversion pipe is installed outside the electromagnetic valve, and several first sprinklers are installed outside the diversion pipe. The first sprinklers irrigate the ground.

[0011] Preferably, several water pipes are symmetrically installed on the outside of the diversion pipe, and a second sprinkler is installed on the top of each water pipe. The second sprinkler irrigates the taller plants.

[0012] Preferably, the sphere is circular in shape, and a bearing is mounted on the outside of the sphere, with the outer surface of the bearing in close contact with the inner wall of the circular groove. This ensures that the gravity-driven rotor can rotate through gravity balance and the principles of hydrodynamics.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. This invention utilizes a shielding mechanism to screen fine particles. The shielding mechanism includes a semi-circular collector, a support rod, and a filter plate. In practical use, when rainwater carrying fine particles such as dust or sand passes through the inlet, these particles may mix into the second collection pipe, affecting the smooth collection of rainwater. To solve this problem, this invention utilizes the synergistic effect between the semi-circular collector and the filter plate. Specifically, the semi-circular collector acts as the main barrier layer, intercepting most larger debris, while the filter plate works in conjunction with the semi-circular collector to further filter even finer particles. The support rod, as a supporting structure, ensures the stability and durability of the entire shielding mechanism. When rainwater passes through this dual screening mechanism, fine particles are effectively blocked, allowing only clean rainwater to flow smoothly into the second collection pipe. This design not only significantly improves the rainwater collection effect but also reduces maintenance requirements and extends the system's lifespan. In this way, this invention significantly improves the reliability and efficiency of the rainwater irrigation control system, ensuring the continuous optimization of water resource management in green belts.

[0014] 2. This invention utilizes a rotating mechanism to clean debris adhering to the surface of a baffle. The rotating mechanism includes a support rod, a gravity-driven rotor, and a baffle. In practical applications, when debris such as leaves or dust adheres to the outer surface of the baffle, it may affect the smooth flow of rainwater, reducing collection efficiency. To solve this problem, this invention cleverly utilizes natural forces. Specifically, the gravity-driven rotor is embedded in the top of the support rod, while the baffle is fixedly installed outside the gravity-driven rotor. When rainwater falls and impacts the gravity-driven rotor, due to the gravity balance and hydrodynamic principles of its design, the gravity-driven rotor automatically rotates under the influence of gravity, thereby causing the baffle to rotate as well. As the baffle continues to rotate, debris on its surface is effectively removed by centrifugal force and water flow, ensuring the cleanliness of the rainwater collection surface and maintaining an ideal collection effect.

[0015] 3. This invention utilizes the combination of a sphere, a bearing, and a circular groove to achieve better automatic rotational motion using gravity during operation, thereby driving the baffle to rotate as well. As the baffle continues to rotate, debris on its surface is effectively removed by centrifugal force and water flow, ensuring the cleanliness of the rainwater collection surface and maintaining an ideal collection effect.

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-6 The present invention provides a technical solution: A rainwater irrigation control system for green belts includes a water storage tank 1, (2), a rotating mechanism and a screening mechanism. The screening mechanism includes a second collection pipe 31. Several second collection pipes 31 are symmetrically installed on the outside of the second collection pipe 31. A semi-circular collector 32 is installed on the top of each second collection pipe 31. A crossbar 33 is installed on the outside of each semi-circular collector 32. A support rod 34 is installed on the top of the crossbar 33. A filter plate 35 is fixedly installed on the outside of the support rod 34. The screening mechanism can screen out fine impurities mixed in the rainwater.

[0021] The rotating mechanism includes a gravity-driven rotor 36. A ball 341 is mounted on the top of the support rod 34. The interior of the gravity-driven rotor 36 has a circular groove 361 that mates with the ball 341. The gravity-driven rotor 36 is installed through the mating of the ball 341 and the circular groove 361. A baffle 37 is movably mounted on the exterior of the gravity-driven rotor 36. Several water inlet holes 38 are symmetrically formed on the exterior of the baffle 37. The rotating mechanism can clean debris adhering to the exterior of the baffle 37. A connecting pipe 22 is installed on the outside of the water storage tank 1. The free end of the connecting pipe 22 is connected to the controller 21. A connecting wire 23 is installed on the top of the controller 21, and a display 24 is installed on the free end of the connecting wire 23. The display 24 controls the entire device. A pump 25 is installed on the outside of the controller 21 away from the water storage tank 1. A first collecting pipe 26 is installed on the outside of the pump 25. Several second collecting pipes 31 are symmetrically installed on the outside of the first collecting pipe 26. The collected rainwater flows into the interior of the first collecting pipe 26 through the second collecting pipes 31. A solenoid valve 41 is installed below the pump 25 in the controller 21. A diversion pipe 42 is installed outside the solenoid valve 41, and several first sprinklers 43 are installed outside the diversion pipe 42. The first sprinklers 43 irrigate the ground. Several water pipes 44 are symmetrically installed outside the diversion pipe 42, and a second sprinkler 45 is installed on the top of each water pipe 44. The second sprinklers 45 irrigate taller plants. The sphere 341 is circular in shape, and a bearing 342 is installed outside the sphere 341. The outside of the bearing 342 is in close contact with the inner wall of the circular groove 361. This ensures that the gravity-driven rotor 36 can rotate through gravity balance and the principle of hydrodynamics.

[0022] Before using the device, install the entire device. After installation, when the green belt needs to be irrigated, it can be operated via mobile phone or computer. At this time, the electromagnetic valve 41 introduces the water inside the water storage tank 1 into the inside of the diversion pipe 42 through the connecting pipe 22. The water entering the diversion pipe 42 sprays water onto the bottom of the green belt through the first water sprayer 43. Some water enters the inside of the water pipe 44 through the diversion pipe 42. The water entering the inside of the water pipe 44 sprays water onto the outside of some taller plants through the second water sprayer 45, meeting the irrigation needs of plants of different heights, improving the efficiency of water resource utilization, and providing differentiated irrigation according to the height and position of the plants, ensuring that each plant can obtain an appropriate amount of water, thereby optimizing the growth environment of the entire green belt. When it rains, rainwater enters the semi-circular collector 32 through the inlet 38. The rainwater then enters the first collection pipe 26 through the second collection pipe 31 and finally enters the water storage tank 1. When the rainwater enters through the baffle 37, the leaves and other debris mixed with water have a strong adhesive force and stick to the outer surface of the baffle 37. At this time, the baffle 37 is under pressure, and the gravity-driven rotor 36 rotates according to the principles of gravity balance and hydrodynamics. During the rotation of the gravity-driven rotor 36, the baffle 37 is also rotated. As the baffle 37 continues to rotate, the debris on its surface is effectively removed by the centrifugal force and water flow, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the rainwater collection surface and maintaining the ideal collection effect. In practical use, when rainwater carrying fine particles such as dust or sand passes through the inlet 38, these particles may mix in and eventually clog the second collection pipe 31, affecting the smooth collection of rainwater. Utilizing the synergistic effect between the semi-circular collector 32 and the filter plate 35, the semi-circular collector 32 acts as the primary barrier layer, intercepting most larger debris, while the filter plate 35 works in conjunction with the semi-circular collector 32 to further refine the filtration of even finer particles. The support rod 34 serves as a supporting structure, ensuring the stability and durability of the entire shielding mechanism. When rainwater passes through this dual screening mechanism, fine particles are effectively blocked, allowing only clean rainwater to flow smoothly into the second collection pipe 31. This design not only significantly improves the rainwater collection effect but also reduces maintenance requirements and extends the system's service life. In this way, the present invention significantly improves the reliability and efficiency of the rainwater irrigation control system, ensuring the continuous optimization of water resource management in green belts.
