[0019] Embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, identical or equivalent parts are given the same reference numerals, and their descriptions are not repeated.

[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown in the embodiments of this disclosure, the irrigation device 100 can be detachably installed or connected to the medicine box 200 as a separate accessory, or the medicine box 200 can be detachably connected to the irrigation device 100 as a separate accessory. This allows the irrigation device 100 to perform conventional irrigation operations without the medicine box 200 installed, and to perform chemical curing operations with the medicine box 200 installed. This helps to reduce the size, weight, and cost of the irrigation device 100.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the irrigation equipment 100 may have a first body portion 110 and a second body portion 120, wherein the first body portion 110 is connected to the second body portion 120 in a manner that allows it to rotate relative to the second body portion 120.

[0022] For example, the first body portion 110 and the second body portion 120 can be connected via a gimbal, wherein the gimbal can be a horizontal gimbal that supports rotation (and / or oscillation) in the horizontal direction, or an omnidirectional gimbal that supports rotation (and / or oscillation) in the horizontal direction and up-and-down rotation (or oscillation) in the vertical direction. The first body portion 110 can be mounted on the rotatable portion of the gimbal (e.g., the upper part of the gimbal), while the fixed portion of the gimbal can be fixed to or within the second body portion 120, such that the first body portion 110 can rotate and / or oscillate relative to the second body portion 120 in the horizontal and / or vertical directions under the action of the rotatable portion of the gimbal.

[0023] One or more nozzles 140 may be provided on the first body portion 110. For example, when multiple nozzles 140 are configured, each nozzle may be a nozzle of the same type or capable of supporting the same spray pattern, or it may be a nozzle such as a variable cross-section nozzle or a columnar nozzle capable of supporting different spray patterns such as rain curtain spray pattern and area spray pattern.

[0024] A water inlet 130 may be provided on the housing of the second body portion 120, or at another suitable location on the housing of the irrigation device 100. The water inlet 130 is configured to be connected to an external water source or to a conduit connected to an external water source, so that water from an external water source can enter the interior of the irrigation device 100.

[0025] A pipe 180 is connected between the inlet 130 and the nozzle 140 so that water entering the irrigation equipment 100 through the inlet 130 is guided to the nozzle 140 and then sprayed out from the nozzle 140.

[0026] For example, pipe 180 may include a first pipe section located primarily in the first fuselage portion 110 and a second pipe section located primarily in the second fuselage portion 120.

[0027] One end of the first pipe section of pipe 180 can be rigidly or otherwise connected or fixed to the rotatable part of the pan-tilt unit, for example, it can be connected to one end of a rotary joint inside the pan-tilt unit. An interface or branch pipe for connection to nozzle 140 can be provided at the other end of the first pipe section of pipe 180 and / or on the pipe body of the first pipe section of pipe 180. Thus, the first pipe section of pipe 180 and nozzle 140 can change their horizontal orientation and / or pitch angle as the rotatable part of the pan-tilt unit rotates or oscillates, thereby achieving different spray angles and ranges.

[0028] One end of the second pipe section of pipe 180 can be connected to the inlet 130, and the other end can be connected to the first pipe section of pipe 180, for example, it can be connected to the other end of the rotary joint inside the gimbal, so that the second pipe section of pipe 180 can be connected to the first pipe section of pipe 180 and form a complete and sealed pipe 180.

[0029] The irrigation device 100 may have a base 150. On the base 150, for example on the side edge and / or the bottom surface of the base 150, mounting structures such as slots and buckles may be provided to match a part of the base 230 of the medicine box 200 (e.g., a part of the side edge and / or the upper surface of the base 230) to allow the irrigation device 100 to be detachably mounted or connected to the base 230 of the medicine box 200, thereby enabling the assembly or connection of the irrigation device 100 and the medicine box 200.

[0030] The irrigation device 100 may have a liquid inlet 162. The liquid inlet 162 is configured to be able to connect to the liquid container 200 when the irrigation device 100 and the liquid container 200 are connected, or to enable the connection between the irrigation device 100 and the liquid container 200 by connecting to the liquid container 200.

[0031] For example, the liquid inlet 162 can be exposed to the outside of the irrigation device 100 from a side opening on the housing of the irrigation device 100. For example, the liquid inlet 162 can extend at least partially from the side opening to the outside of the irrigation device 100, or it can be entirely located inside the housing and can be observed from the outside of the irrigation device 100 via the side opening or connected to the liquid inlet 162.

[0032] For example, such as Figure 3As shown, the liquid inlet 162 can also be located inside the second body part 120 or on the base 150, and can be exposed downward to the outside of the irrigation device 100 through the opening on the base 150. For example, it can be observed from the outside of the irrigation device 100 through the opening on the base 150 or connected to the liquid inlet 162.

[0033] The liquid inlet 162 can be connected to the pipe 180 via the liquid pipe 170, for example, to the second pipe section of the pipe 180, so that when the irrigation equipment 100 and the medicine box 200 are assembled or connected, the liquid in the medicine box 200 can enter the liquid pipe 170 through the liquid inlet 162, and then enter the pipe 180, where it mixes with the water entering the pipe 180 through the water inlet 130, and then is sprayed to the outside of the irrigation equipment 100 through the nozzle 140.

[0034] For example, at the connection between the liquid pipe 170 and the pipe 180, or at other suitable locations of the liquid pipe 170, a mechanism or component such as a one-way valve 172 can be installed to prevent liquid in the pipe 180 from flowing back into the liquid pipe 170.

[0035] The irrigation device 100 may also have an electrical interface 164. The electrical interface 164 may be configured to be coupled to the electrical interface of the medicine box 200 when the irrigation device 100 and the medicine box 200 are connected, and to supply power to the medicine box 200 when coupled to the electrical interface of the medicine box 200.

[0036] For example, the electrical interface 164 may be exposed to the outside of the irrigation device 100 from a side opening on the housing of the irrigation device 100. For example, the electrical interface 164 may extend at least partially from the side opening to the outside of the irrigation device 100, or it may be entirely located inside the housing and be visible from the outside of the irrigation device 100 via the side opening or be connected to the electrical interface 164.

[0037] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the electrical interface 164 may also be disposed within the second body portion 120 or on the base 150, and may be exposed downward to the outside of the irrigation device 100 through an opening on the base 150, for example, may be observed from the outside of the irrigation device 100 through an opening on the base 150 or connected to the electrical interface 164.

[0038] With the electrical interface 164 configured, it is not necessary to equip the medicine box 200 with separate power supply-related components (e.g., battery, external power socket, connection circuit to external power source, etc.), which helps to simplify the design of the medicine box 200, reduce the weight and volume of the medicine box 200, and improve the uniformity of the product.

[0039] Additionally, the electrical interface 164 can be configured to receive electrical signals from the medicine box 200 when coupled to the medicine box 200's electrical interface, such as signals indicating insufficient medicine volume in the medicine box 200, signals indicating insufficient electrodynamic power in the medicine box 200, or signals indicating a malfunction (e.g., leakage) of one or more components of the medicine box 200. Thus, the status of the irrigation equipment 100 and the medicine box 200 can be monitored uniformly by the irrigation equipment 100, and the irrigation equipment 100 and the medicine box 200 can be controlled synchronously or in a coordinated manner.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, as an independent accessory of the irrigation equipment 100, the medicine box 200 may include a medicine container 210, a medicine pipe 250, a pump 260, and a medicine outlet 242.

[0041] The medicine container 210 may have an outlet 212, allowing the medicine in the medicine container 210 to flow out of the medicine container 210 through the outlet 212. For example, the outlet 212 may be located at the bottom of the medicine container 210 or at other suitable locations.

[0042] The liquid container 210 can be configured to be detachably connected to the liquid conduit 250.

[0043] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the liquid medicine container 210 can be inserted into the housing 220 of the medicine box 200, thereby installing the liquid medicine container 210 into the medicine box 200. By installing the liquid medicine container 210 into the medicine box 200, the liquid medicine conduit 250 can be connected to the outlet 212 of the liquid medicine container 210 in a sealed manner, thereby allowing the liquid in the liquid medicine container 210 to flow into the liquid medicine conduit 250 through the outlet 212.

[0044] For example, when the liquid medicine container 210 is inserted and fixed in the medicine box 200, one end of the liquid medicine pipe 250, which serves as the liquid medicine inflow end, can be simultaneously or synchronously inserted into the outlet 212 of the liquid medicine container 210, so that the liquid medicine pipe 250 and the outlet 212 of the liquid medicine container 210 are connected together in a sealed manner. For example, sealing structures such as sealing rings can be provided at the liquid medicine inflow end of the liquid medicine pipe 250 and / or the outlet 212 of the liquid medicine container 210.

[0045] Pump 260 is installed on liquid medicine pipeline 250 and is configured to drive liquid medicine in liquid medicine container 210 into liquid medicine pipeline 250 through outlet 212 of liquid medicine container 210 during operation, and finally out of the other end of liquid medicine pipeline 250.

[0046] The liquid outlet 242 can be the liquid outlet of the liquid pipeline 250, or it can be connected to the liquid outlet of the liquid pipeline 250 through another pipeline or interface. The liquid outlet 242 is configured to be connected to the liquid inlet 162 of the irrigation device 100, so that the irrigation device 100 can be connected to the medicine box 200 simultaneously when the liquid outlet 242 and the liquid inlet 162 are connected. When the irrigation device 100 is connected to the medicine box 200, the liquid in the liquid container 210 is allowed to enter the liquid pipeline 250 through the outlet 212 of the liquid container 210 under the drive of the pump 260, and then flow out from the liquid outlet 242, and then enter the liquid pipeline 170 of the irrigation device 100 through the liquid inlet 162.

[0047] For example, the liquid outlet 242 can be located on a portion of the base 230 of the medicine box 200 that matches the mounting structure of the base 150 of the irrigation device 100, and the irrigation device 100 can be mounted on the base 230 of the medicine box 200 by installing or assembling the mounting structure of the base 150 of the irrigation device 100 with the matching portion of the base 230 of the medicine box 200. Simultaneously, the liquid outlet 242 can be connected to the liquid inlet 162 of the irrigation device 100, for example, by inserting it into an opening in the base 150 of the irrigation device 100.

[0048] For example, as the mounting structure of the base 150 of the irrigation device 100 is installed or assembled with the matching part of the base 230 of the medicine box 200, one of the liquid outlet 242 and the liquid inlet 162 is inserted into the other of the liquid outlet 242 and the liquid inlet 162, so that the liquid outlet 242 and the liquid inlet 162 are connected together at the same time as the irrigation device 100 and the medicine box 200 are connected or assembled together, and a complete and sealed liquid channel is formed between the irrigation device 100 and the medicine box 200.

[0049] Since the liquid inlet 162 of the irrigation device 100 is located on the side of the housing of the irrigation device 100, the liquid outlet 242 can also be located on the side of the housing 220 of the medicine box 200. For example, an opening for the liquid outlet 242 to be exposed can be provided on the housing 220 of the medicine box 200. Thus, after the irrigation device 100 is installed on the base 230 of the medicine box 200, the liquid outlet 242 can be inserted into the opening on the side of the housing of the irrigation device 100 and connected to the liquid inlet 162 of the irrigation device 100, or the liquid inlet 162 of the irrigation device 100 can be inserted into the opening on the housing 220 of the medicine box 200 and connected to the liquid outlet 242 of the medicine box 200 (for example, one of the liquid outlet 242 and the liquid inlet 162 is inserted into the other of the liquid outlet 242 and the liquid inlet 162), so that the liquid outlet 242 and the liquid inlet 162 are connected together when the irrigation device 100 and the medicine box 200 are connected or assembled together, and a complete and sealed liquid channel is formed between the irrigation device 100 and the medicine box 200.

[0050] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the medicine box 200 may also include an electrical interface 244 that mates with the electrical interface 164 of the irrigation device 100. The electrical interface 244 is configured to be coupled to the electrical interface 164 of the irrigation device 100 when the irrigation device 100 and the medicine box 200 are connected, and to obtain power from the irrigation device 100 when coupled to the electrical interface 164 of the irrigation device 100.

[0051] The configuration location, configuration method, and configuration quantity of the electrical interface 244 can correspond to the configuration location, configuration method, and configuration quantity of the electrical interface 164 of the irrigation equipment 100, so that the irrigation equipment 100 and the medicine box 200 can be easily and smoothly coupled together.

[0052] For example, corresponding to the arrangement of electrical interface 164 on the side of the housing of irrigation device 100, electrical interface 244 can be located on the side of housing 220 of medicine box 200. For example, electrical interface 244 can be configured to expose the exterior of housing 220 through a side opening of housing 220 of medicine box 200. In this way, when irrigation device 100 is mounted on base 230 of medicine box 200, electrical interface 244 located on the side of housing 220 of medicine box 200 can be synchronously coupled with electrical interface 164 located on the side of housing of irrigation device 100, so that medicine box 200 can obtain power from irrigation device 100 to power pump 260 and / or other electronic or electrical components within medicine box 200.

[0053] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, corresponding to the arrangement where the electrical interface 164 is located inside the second body portion 120 or on the base 150 and can be exposed downward to the outside of the irrigation device 100 through an opening on the base 150, the electrical interface 244 can also be located on the portion of the base 230 of the medicine box 200 that matches the mounting structure of the base 150 of the irrigation device 100. When the irrigation device 100 is mounted on the base 230 of the medicine box 200, the electrical interface 244 can, for example, be simultaneously inserted into the opening of the base 150 of the irrigation device 100 and coupled together with the electrical interface 164 of the irrigation device 100, so that the medicine box 200 can obtain power from the irrigation device 100 for use by the pump 260 and / or other electronic or electrical components within the medicine box 200.

[0054] Furthermore, the electrical interface 244 can also be configured to send electrical signals, such as signals indicating insufficient liquid in the medicine box 200, signals indicating insufficient electrodynamic power in the medicine box 200, and signals indicating a malfunction (e.g., leakage) of one or more components of the medicine box 200, to the irrigation equipment 100 when coupled to the electrical interface 164. Thus, the status of the irrigation equipment 100 and the medicine box 200 can be monitored uniformly through the irrigation equipment 100, and the irrigation equipment 100 and the medicine box 200 can be controlled in a coordinated manner.

[0055] In addition, such as Figure 4 As shown, a liquid level sensor 270 can be installed at an appropriate location within the liquid pipe 250 and / or the liquid container 210 to sense the amount of liquid in the liquid pipe 250 and / or the liquid container 210.

[0056] At least a portion of the liquid medicine pipeline 250 of the medicine box 200, at least a portion of the pump 260 and at least a portion of the liquid medicine outlet 242, as well as other components such as the electrical interface 244 and the liquid level sensor 270, can be mounted on the base 230.

[0057] For example, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, at least one of the liquid outlet 242 and the electrical interface 244 can be configured on a first part of the base 230 that matches the mounting structure of the base 150 of the irrigation equipment 100, while the liquid pipe 250, the pump 260 and the level sensor 270, etc., can be configured on a second part of the base 230 that is different from the first part.

[0058] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the housing 220 of the medicine box 200 can at least partially cover at least a portion of the medicine container 210 and is at least connected to the second portion of the base 230 to form a accommodating space for accommodating the medicine pipe 250, pump 260 and level sensor 270, etc., while the first portion of the base 230 is exposed outside the housing 220.

[0059] For example, a support structure can be provided on the inner side of the housing 220 and / or on the second portion of the base 230, such that... Figure 1 After the liquid medicine container 210 is inserted into the housing 220 as shown, the liquid medicine container 210 can be installed or fixed in the housing 220 by the support structure, and the outlet 212 of the liquid medicine container 210 can be automatically and sealed to the liquid medicine pipe 250.

[0060] In situations where chemical maintenance is required, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the liquid medicine container 210 can be inserted into the shell 220 of the medicine box 200, and then the top cover 222 of the shell 220 can be closed to complete the assembly of the medicine box 200 itself.

[0061] Then, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the irrigation device 100 can be installed from top to bottom onto the base 230 of the medicine box 200 using the matching mounting structure on the base 150 of the irrigation device 100 and the base 230 of the medicine box 200. This allows the liquid inlet 162 of the irrigation device 100 to automatically connect with the liquid outlet 242 of the medicine box 200, and the electrical interface 164 of the irrigation device 100 to automatically couple with the electrical interface 244 of the medicine box 200, thereby forming... Figure 5 The image shows the state after installation.

[0062] With the liquid inlet 162 and electrical interface 164 of the irrigation device 100 located on the side of the housing of the irrigation device 100, and the liquid outlet 242 and electrical interface 244 of the medicine box 200 located on the side of the housing 220 of the medicine box 200, the base 150 of the irrigation device 100 and the base 230 of the medicine box 200 can be configured to allow the irrigation device 100 and the medicine box 200 to be installed or connected together by horizontally pushing the irrigation device 100 into or onto the base 230 of the medicine box 200, thereby forming Figure 5 The image shows the state after installation.

[0063] Then, the water inlet 130 of the irrigation equipment 100 can be connected to an external water source, and the power supply of the irrigation equipment 100 can be turned on or off.

[0064] In this case, the irrigation equipment 100 can supply power to components such as the pump 260 in the medicine box 200 via the coupled electrical interface 164 and electrical interface 244, so that the medicine in the medicine container 210 of the medicine box 200 can be driven by the pump 260, through the medicine pipe 250, and the connected medicine outlet 242 and medicine inlet 162, into the medicine pipe 170 of the irrigation equipment 100, and then into the pipe 180, where it mixes with the water flow from the external water source entering the pipe 180 through the water inlet 130, and then is sprayed to the outside of the irrigation equipment 100 through the nozzle 140.

[0065] When no chemical treatment is required, the irrigation equipment 100 can be used independently without being connected to the chemical container 200. In this case, for example, due to mechanisms or components such as a one-way valve 172 installed at the connection between the chemical pipeline 170 and the pipeline 180 or at other suitable locations in the chemical pipeline 170, water flowing from an external water source into the pipeline 180 through the inlet 130 will not flow back into the chemical pipeline 170, thereby enabling regular irrigation operations.

[0066] The irrigation equipment 100 can be detachably installed or connected to the chemical tank 200 as a separate accessory, or the chemical tank 200 can be detachably connected to the irrigation equipment 100 as a separate accessory. This allows the irrigation equipment 100 to perform regular irrigation operations without the chemical tank 200 installed, and to perform chemical curing operations with the chemical tank 200 installed. This helps to reduce the size, weight, and cost of the irrigation equipment 100.
