[0002] In China, agricultural water consumption accounts for about 80% of the total water consumption. Due to the generally low efficiency of agricultural irrigation, the water utilization rate is only 45%, while countries with high water resource utilization rates have reached 70% to 80%. Therefore, solving the problem of agricultural irrigation water is very important to alleviate the shortage of water resources.

[0003] At present, irrigation locomotives are generally used for agricultural irrigation. Irrigation locomotives can be divided into many types according to their irrigation and drainage methods. However, due to the large differences in water requirements for different crops and different growth stages, most of them use direct spraying or drip irrigation. Under different environmental conditions, the amount of water used for irrigation cannot be controlled according to the moisture of the soil, which makes subsequent irrigation inaccurate and wastes water resources. At the same time, if the water use is not well controlled, the yield and quality of subsequent crops will be reduced. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides an irrigation locomotive. After the lifting component is controlled to move downward by a power mechanism, a humidity sensor is inserted into the soil to measure the moisture content in the soil for irrigation. During irrigation, water is pumped out from the water tank through a drainage component and then sprayed onto the plants. When it is monitored that the moisture content in the soil reaches a standard value, the system can automatically shut down the water pump. This design irrigates according to the different soil moisture levels, making irrigation more accurate and avoiding waste of water resources. While controlling the water flow for irrigation, the yield and quality of subsequent crops can also be ensured.

Example

[0029] See also Figure 1 - Figure 2An irrigation locomotive includes a water tank 2 arranged on an irrigation vehicle body 1, a liftable humidity sensor 3 is provided on one side of the irrigation vehicle body 1 for measuring soil, the water tank 2 is connected to the irrigation vehicle body 1 through a drainage component for spraying, and a water pump 6 is provided at one end of the irrigation vehicle body 1 for controlling the drainage component.

[0030] See also Figure 1 Figure 2 The irrigation locomotive of the present application is mainly composed of an irrigation vehicle body 1, a water tank 2 and a humidity sensor 3, etc., which cooperate with each other. After the power mechanism 702 controls the lifting component to move downward, the humidity sensor 3 is brought into the soil and inserted into the soil to measure the moisture content in the soil for irrigation. During irrigation, water is pumped out from the water tank 2 through the drainage component and sprayed on the plants. When it is monitored that the moisture in the soil reaches the standard value, the system can automatically turn off the water pump 6. This design irrigates according to the different soil moisture levels, making irrigation more accurate and avoiding waste of water resources. While controlling the water flow irrigation, it can also ensure the yield and quality of subsequent crops.

[0031] In the specific implementation process, first, fill the water in the water tank 2, and the controller drives the power mechanism 702 to reset the rack 7. When the irrigation locomotive reaches the crop area that needs to be sprinkled, press the controller to drive the lifting assembly with the power mechanism 702. The power mechanism 702 is set as a motor, wherein the lifting assembly is composed of the rack 7 and the gear 701. When the power mechanism 702 drives the gear 701 to rotate, since the gear 701 and the rack 7 are meshed with each other, the humidity sensor 3 is set at the bottom of the rack 7, and the rack 7 is driven to descend to be flush with the soil, and the humidity sensor 3 is inserted into the soil. Measure the moisture content in the soil; when the moisture content in the soil is less than the standard humidity value preset in the controller, the water pump 6 is started, and water passes through the drainage component from the water tank 2. The drainage component is composed of a first water pipe 4 and a second water pipe 5. After the water is pumped out, it is sprayed on the plants through the outlet of the second water pipe 5. When it is monitored that the moisture content in the soil reaches the standard value, the system can automatically turn off the water pump 6, so that the entire irrigation process is determined by the soil moisture. Under the premise of ensuring the soil moisture, irrigation water can be saved to the maximum extent. At the same time, irrigation is more reasonable and more water-saving than drip irrigation and other operations.

[0032] In some embodiments, by introducing a soil detection system into the crop irrigation decision software, a quantitative assessment of the water demand information of different crops in different regions at different growth stages can be made; a flow meter is added to the irrigation structure water pump 6 to accurately control the amount of irrigation water. The system meets the needs of high-efficiency agriculture and precision agriculture for improving the utilization rate of irrigation water, achieves the purpose of water-saving irrigation and realizes the automation of the irrigation process, and has great promotion and application value.

[0033] It should also be noted that the irrigation locomotive can be remotely controlled. The present application also installs a lifting platform bracket 8 on the side of the irrigation vehicle body 1, so that the humidity sensor 3, the power mechanism 702 and the lifting assembly are all arranged on the side of the lifting platform bracket 8, so that the rack 7 can move up and down relative to the lifting platform bracket 8, thereby improving the adaptability to the scene. Among them, the power mechanism 702 fixes the bracket to the side wall of the lifting platform bracket 8 by bolts to facilitate subsequent disassembly.

[0034] The present application also provides a guide plate 703, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the back of the rack 7, and has a groove on the corresponding lifting platform bracket 8. When the rack 7 is lifted and lowered between the corresponding gear 701 and the lifting platform bracket 8, the guide plate 703 can be driven to move in the same direction in the groove of the lifting platform bracket 8. When the rack 7 drives the humidity sensor 3 to lift and lower, it can be limited so that the humidity sensor 3 can move vertically.

[0035] The humidity sensor 3 is fixed to the fixed block at the bottom of the rack 7 by bolts. Therefore, after the humidity sensor 3 is worn, it can be easily replaced. The end of the humidity sensor 3 facing the soil is constructed in a pointed state, so as to facilitate the insertion of the humidity sensor 3 into the soil and make the insertion into the soil more accurate. The end of the humidity sensor 3 inserted into the soil is constructed in a smooth state, so as to facilitate the non-sticking of the soil when it is pulled out, thereby improving the use effect.

[0036] The present application also provides wheels 9, which are installed on both sides of the bottom of the irrigation vehicle body 1 to drive the entire vehicle to move. The insertion depth of the rack 7 is determined by the depth of the plant roots and the soil moisture, and the insertion depth of the humidity sensor 3 into the soil can be adjusted relatively dynamically.

[0037] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are only examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been demonstrated and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the principles, the embodiments of the present invention may be deformed or modified in any way.
