Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural equipment technology, specifically to an integrated irrigation machine that simultaneously collects potato drought-resistant metabolic phenotypes. Background Technology

[0002] The integrated irrigation system is a core piece of equipment that integrates water source pressurization, water and fertilizer mixing, multi-stage filtration, flow regulation and intelligent management. It can be used with drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, micro irrigation and other end-point irrigation devices to achieve precise and simultaneous water and fertilizer supply in farmland, facility horticulture and other scenarios. Under drought stress, potatoes can improve their drought tolerance by globally reprogramming their internal metabolic network and adjusting the composition and content of metabolites in order to maintain cell osmotic homeostasis, reduce oxidative damage and ensure basic energy supply. The sum of metabolic characteristics is the direct material basis for morphological and physiological drought resistance, and is called drought-resistant metabolic phenotype potato.

[0003] In the entire potato planting process, sampling (selecting representative samples according to scientific standards for testing and analysis) is a means of connecting field production with precision management. Using a small number of samples to objectively reflect the soil condition, plant growth, stress level and yield potential of the entire field can replace part of the whole field survey, thereby significantly reducing testing costs and labor input. At the same time, it facilitates the early prediction of production risks and the quantitative optimization of management plans.

[0004] In existing technologies, during potato field cultivation, the uneven distribution of soil texture and other objective conditions lead to natural differences in soil infiltration and water retention capacity across different planting areas. Irrigation operations easily result in uneven soil moisture distribution throughout the field, potentially causing large time spans for tuber formation, inconsistent maturity, and significant differences in individual tuber size and maturity. Therefore, to understand the actual production status of potatoes in the field, it is necessary to sample potatoes to obtain a low-cost, high-efficiency understanding of overall soil properties and plant growth using a small, representative sample. The current method of potato sampling requires personnel to manually dig in the field to collect accurate information on the condition of the tubers, the extent of pests and diseases, and the potential for yield and quality. This information helps to mitigate production risks such as blind water and fertilizer input, delayed disease control, and loss of quality control. However, the current method requires personnel to manually dig in the field to collect samples, which increases the workload of staff and is time-consuming. Furthermore, manual digging is significantly affected by the experience and subjective judgment of the operators, resulting in a large degree of arbitrariness in the sampling range and digging depth. There is also a tendency to subconsciously select larger tubers or easier-to-dig areas, leading to a significant size bias in the samples. This results in samples that cannot accurately reflect the overall growth level of tubers in the field and has a certain impact on the sampling results. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an integrated irrigation machine that simultaneously collects potato drought-resistant metabolic phenotypes, so as to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a potato drought-resistant metabolic phenotype synchronous collection irrigation integrated machine, comprising a main body, two sets of wheels at the bottom of the main body, and an axle connecting the two sets of wheels; an irrigation component for watering potatoes at the bottom of the main body; a sampling component for sampling potatoes at one end of the irrigation component; and a trigger component for driving the sampling component to operate on one side of the irrigation component.

[0007] Preferably, the irrigation assembly includes a swing pipe connected to a water pipe on the surface of the main body. The swing pipe is rotatably connected to the bottom of the main body via a connecting frame. Spray pipes are symmetrically connected to the outer wall of the main body, and the spray pipes are inclined.

[0008] Preferably, a transmission gear is fixedly connected to one end of the swing tube, and a sector gear that is rotatably connected to the connecting frame meshes above the transmission gear. A transmission rod is connected to the axis of the sector gear via a connecting rod.

[0009] Preferably, a turntable is provided on the side of the transmission rod away from the transmission gear, and an insert rod is connected to an eccentric position on one side surface of the turntable, and the insert rod is sleeved on the inner wall of the transmission rod. A first bevel gear is connected to the side surface of the turntable away from the transmission rod, and a second bevel gear is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the shaft, and the second bevel gear meshes with the first bevel gear.

[0010] Preferably, the sampling component includes a storage frame fixedly connected to the upper surface of the main body, a digging rod rotatably connected to the bottom end of the front surface of the storage frame, a drive motor installed on one side of the digging rod, and a support rod connected to the bottom end of the storage frame through an elastic element.

[0011] Preferably, the triggering component includes a push block located on the lower surface of the main body, and a stop block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the swing tube above the two sets of spray tubes. The push block is located on one side of the stop block, and the swing tube can drive the stop block to make intermittent contact with the push block during the movement.

[0012] Preferably, a first piston rod is connected to one side surface of the push block and installed at the bottom of the main body. The end of the first piston rod away from the push block is connected to a connecting pipe, and the end of the connecting pipe away from the first piston rod is connected to a second piston rod.

[0013] Preferably, the inner wall cavities of the first piston rod and the second piston rod are each equipped with a spring, the surface of the second piston rod is provided with an air vent, and the end of the second piston rod away from the connecting pipe is provided with a wireless control module, the surface of which is provided with conductive contacts.

[0014] In summary, the present invention has the following main beneficial effects: 1. This invention uses a digging rod driven by a motor to rotate, allowing for tuber sampling of potatoes. The digging operation can be completed according to a preset sampling depth and range, free from the subjective judgment of the operator. It can completely collect tuber samples of all sizes within the sampling point, accurately reflecting the number, weight grading, and growth status of tubers at the sampling site. This effectively reduces systematic errors caused by manual sampling, improves the accuracy and objectivity of tuber growth index detection results, and provides reliable data support for optimizing and adjusting field water and fertilizer management programs. Furthermore, sampling potatoes during irrigation saves time and can meet the dynamic growth monitoring needs of potatoes at different growth stages. The shaking of the support rod allows loose soil adhering to the potato surface to fall off naturally, and it can also screen out residual roots, leaves, and small stones, facilitating subsequent pre-testing processing of the potatoes. 2. This invention, through the coordinated operation of transmission gears, sector gears, and transmission rods, can stably drive the spray pipe to reciprocate at a certain angle as the main body moves. This not only expands the water coverage of a single operation and improves field operation efficiency, but also improves the inherent defect of uneven water distribution at the near and far ends of fixed nozzles. This makes the soil moisture content in different areas of the field more balanced. Targeting the water requirements of potato tubers during the formation and expansion stages, uniform water supply can effectively mitigate the imbalance of water distribution caused by undulating terrain and differences in soil texture, ensuring the synchronicity of plant growth throughout the field. It reduces problems such as secondary growth, morphological deformities, and uneven maturity of tubers caused by differences in water supply, and helps improve the uniformity of the tuber population, adapting to the needs of refined field water management in large-scale potato cultivation.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] A potato drought-resistant metabolic phenotype synchronous collection irrigation integrated machine, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, it includes a main body 1, with two sets of wheels at the bottom of the main body 1 and an axle connecting the two sets of wheels. An irrigation component for watering potatoes is also provided at the bottom of the main body 1. The irrigation assembly includes a swing pipe 21 connected to a water pipe on the surface of the main body 1. The swing pipe 21 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the main body 1 via a connecting frame. Spray pipes 22 are symmetrically connected to the outer wall of the main body 1. The spray pipes 22 are inclined. The swing pipe 21 is connected to the spray pipe 22. When the swing pipe 21 swings back and forth, it can synchronously drive the spray pipe 22 to swing, thereby improving the uniformity of spraying by the spray pipe 22 and expanding the spraying area of ​​the spray pipe 22. One end of the swing tube 21 is fixedly connected to a transmission gear 23. Above the transmission gear 23, a sector gear 24 is meshed with a connecting frame. The axis of the sector gear 24 is connected to a transmission rod 25 via a connecting rod. When the transmission rod 25 rotates, it can synchronously drive the sector gear 24 to rotate around its axis at a certain angle through the connecting rod. Under the action of the sector gear 24, the meshing transmission gear 23 can be driven to rotate synchronously back and forth, and then the swing tube 21 can be synchronously driven to swing back and forth under the action of the transmission gear 23. A turntable 26 is provided on the side of the transmission rod 25 away from the transmission gear 23. An insert rod is connected at an eccentric position on one side surface of the turntable 26, and the insert rod is sleeved on the inner wall of the transmission rod 25. The insert rod is slidably embedded in the inner wall of the strip guide groove of the transmission rod 25. Under the action of the insert rod, the transmission rod 25 can be driven to reciprocate at a certain angle through the circular motion of the turntable 26. A first bevel gear 27 is connected to the surface of the turntable 26 away from the transmission rod 25, and a second bevel gear 28 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the shaft. The second bevel gear 28 meshes with the first bevel gear 27. When the main body 1 moves, the second bevel gear 28 can be driven to rotate under the action of the wheels. The second bevel gear 28 can mesh with the first bevel gear 27 to rotate synchronously, thereby providing power for the rotation of the turntable 26.

[0018] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 It is known that one end of the irrigation component is equipped with a sampling component for taking samples of potatoes. The sampling component includes a storage frame 31 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the main body 1. A digging rod 32 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the front surface of the storage frame 31. A drive motor is installed on one side of the digging rod 32. By driving the digging rod 32 to rotate through the drive motor, the potato tubers in the soil at the sampling point can be completely dug out without being affected by human subjective factors, thus avoiding errors caused by manual sampling. The bottom of the storage frame 31 is connected to a support rod 311 via an elastic element. With the support rod 311 in place, the support rod 311 can be shaken by the elastic element during the movement of the main body 1, causing the loose soil attached to the surface to fall off naturally, and residual roots, broken leaves and small stones can be discharged through the sieve structure at the bottom of the storage frame 31.

[0019] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 It is known that a triggering component for driving the sampling component is provided on one side of the irrigation component. The triggering component includes a push block 41 located on the lower surface of the main body 1. A stop block 211 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the swing tube 21 above the two sets of spray tubes 22. The push block 41 is located on one side of the stop block 211. During the movement of the swing tube 21, the stop block 211 can be driven to intermittently contact the push block 41. When the swing tube 21 swings, when the stop block 211 contacts the push block 41, a lateral thrust can be applied to the push block 41 to push the push block 41 to move. A first piston rod 42 installed at the bottom of the main body 1 is connected to one side surface of the push block 41. A connecting pipe 43 is connected to the end of the first piston rod 42 away from the push block 41. A second piston rod 44 is connected to the end of the connecting pipe 43 away from the first piston rod 42. When the push block 41 moves back and forth, the gas inside the first piston rod 42 can be continuously squeezed into the cavity inside the second piston rod 44, thereby pushing the second piston rod 44 to extend outward. A wireless control module 45 is provided at the end of the second piston rod 44 away from the connecting pipe 43. The surface of the wireless control module 45 is provided with conductive contacts. The end of the second piston rod 44 is also provided with conductive contacts. When the second piston rod 44 moves, when the conductive contacts at the end of the second piston rod 44 make contact with the conductive contacts on the surface of the wireless control module 45, the control circuit can be triggered to energize. At this time, the wireless control module 45 sends a stop command to the traction power vehicle, and sampling operation is performed. Both the inner cavities of the first piston rod 42 and the second piston rod 44 are equipped with spring components. The surface of the second piston rod 44 has an air outlet. When the second piston rod 44 extends to its maximum stroke, the pushing force of the air pressure inside the cavity of the second piston rod 44 is greater than the elastic force of the built-in spring component. At this time, the air outlet is no longer blocked by the cylinder body, the air passage returns to its initial state, the second piston rod 44 resets, and thus facilitates the subsequent cycle triggering of sampling operations.

[0020] The working principle of this invention is as follows: During potato planting, at the critical water-demand periods of tuber formation and tuber enlargement, the main body 1, which integrates irrigation and sampling, can be connected to a traction power vehicle to achieve mobile irrigation operations in the field. As the main body 1 moves, the wheels synchronously drive the axle between them to rotate. When the axle rotates, it synchronously drives the second bevel gear 28 to rotate. The second bevel gear 28 meshes with the first bevel gear 27, causing the first bevel gear 27 to rotate synchronously. The first bevel gear 27 is coaxially connected to the turntable 26, thereby driving the turntable 26 to rotate synchronously. An insert rod is connected at the eccentric position of the turntable 26. The insert rod is slidably embedded in the inner wall of the strip-shaped guide groove of the transmission rod 25. The top end of the transmission rod 25 is hinged to the main body 1, and the body of the transmission rod 25 is fixedly connected to the sector gear 24. When the turntable 26 continues to rotate, the insert rod slides back and forth along the strip-shaped guide groove of the transmission rod 25, thereby driving the transmission rod 25 to rotate synchronously. 5. The swing tube 21 reciprocates around the top hinge point at a fixed angle, synchronously driving the sector gear 24 to reciprocate and deflect. The sector gear 24 meshes with the transmission gear 23, thus synchronously driving the transmission gear 23 to reciprocate and rotate. The swing tube 21 is coaxially fixed to the transmission gear 23 and reciprocates around its own axis under the drive of the transmission gear 23. A spray pipe 22 is connected to the swing tube 21, which can spray potatoes. Under the action of the swing tube 21, the spray pipe 22 can be synchronously driven to reciprocate and swing, thereby facilitating the expansion of the watering coverage of the spray pipe 22, improving the uniformity of watering in the field, and to a certain extent reducing the difference in the growth process of plants in the field, improving the uniformity of tuber growth. At the same time, the swing power is directly driven by the walking kinetic energy of the main body 1, without the need for additional independent drive components, which can reduce the manufacturing cost and operating energy consumption of the equipment to a certain extent. During the reciprocating motion of the swing tube 21, the abutment block 211 fixed to the outer side of its tube wall swings synchronously. The abutment block 211 periodically and intermittently abuts against the side end face of the push block 41 during the swing process. When the abutment block 211 deflects to one side and contacts the push block 41, the push block 41 pushes the first piston rod 42 to operate under the action of the lateral thrust of the abutment block 211. When the abutment block 211 swings in the opposite direction, the abutment block 211 releases its pressing action on the push block 41. At this time, under the elastic action of the spring inside the first piston rod 42, the first piston rod 42 returns to its original position. The surface of the first piston rod 42 is connected to an inlet one-way valve and an outlet one-way valve. The outlet one-way valve is connected to the inner cavity of the second piston rod 44 through the connecting pipe 43. Under the reciprocating motion of the abutment block 211, the first piston rod 42 performs continuous reciprocating motion. With the one-way conduction action of the one-way valve, air is continuously supplied to the inner cavity of the second piston rod 44 through the connecting pipe 43. At this time, the second piston rod 44 is in the air... Under pressure, the second piston rod 44 extends outward. When the conductive contact at the end of the second piston rod 44 contacts and connects with the corresponding conductive contact on the surface of the wireless control module 45, the control circuit is triggered to energize. At this time, the wireless control module 45 sends a stop command to the traction power vehicle, the main body 1 stops moving, the irrigation component stops spraying water synchronously, and the drive motor drives the digging rod 32 to rotate. During the 270° rotation of the digging rod 32, the potato tubers in the soil at the sampling point are completely dug out, and the tubers are poured into the sampling and storage frame 31 for temporary storage as the digging rod 32 rotates, so as to carry out tuber growth index testing later. With the use of the digging rod 32, the digging can be completed strictly according to the preset sampling range and soil depth, without being affected by human subjective factors. It can completely collect tubers of all sizes in the sampling area, truly restore the number, weight grading and growth status of tubers at the sampling point, avoid the error caused by manual sampling, and improve the accuracy and objectivity of the test results. After the excavator 32 completes sampling and returns to its initial position, the traction power vehicle drives the main body 1 to resume movement, and the irrigation components simultaneously resume spraying operations. When the second piston rod 44 extends to its maximum stroke, the pushing force of the air pressure inside the cavity of the second piston rod 44 is greater than the elastic force of the built-in spring. At this time, the air outlet hole opened on the side wall of the second piston rod 44 moves out of the cylinder sealing end face and is no longer blocked by the cylinder. Under the action of the spring, the second piston rod 44 retracts inward to reset, and the air path returns to its initial state, so as to facilitate subsequent repeated sampling operations. This facilitates multiple sampling operations. The contents not described in detail in this description are prior art known to those skilled in the art.
