[0024] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides an embodiment: an intelligent drip irrigation structure based on soil moisture monitoring, including a drip irrigation main pipe 1, a drip irrigation water pump 2 is arranged on one side of the drip irrigation main pipe 1, and the drip irrigation water pump 2 is an Internet of Things water pump, which is a mature prior art product. Any Internet of Things water pump currently on the market can be applied to the utility model, and this specification will not elaborate on its networking principle in detail;

[0025] A plurality of equally spaced linearly distributed drip irrigation branches 5 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drip irrigation main pipe 1 away from the drip irrigation water pump 2. The plurality of drip irrigation branches 5 are interconnected with the drip irrigation main pipe 1, so that the water inside the drip irrigation main pipe 1 can enter the drip irrigation branches 5. Each drip irrigation branch pipe 5 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed drip irrigation holes 6, which can ensure normal drip irrigation. A tubular soil moisture monitor 9 is arranged between the tail ends of the middle drip irrigation branches 5. An Internet of Things integration box 10 is fixedly installed on the outer wall at the top of the tubular soil moisture monitor 9. An Internet of Things integration box 10 is installed with an Internet of Things integration module. The Internet of Things integration module is a public technical solution in the existing Internet of Things field. In addition, the tubular soil moisture monitor 9 is a mature Internet of Things technology product, and its model is DF-GTSQ. This specification does not elaborate too much on its networking away.

[0026] Wherein, the tubular soil moisture monitor 9 and the drip irrigation pump 2 are both electrically connected to the control computer via data wires;

[0027] According to the above structure, in actual use, a plurality of drip irrigation branches 5 can be pre-buried in the agricultural soil for planting, and the root of each plant can be aligned with the drip irrigation hole 6 of the drip irrigation branch 5 one by one, so that the irrigation water discharged from the drip irrigation hole 6 during drip irrigation can directly act on the root of the plant, achieving a more direct drip irrigation effect, and having a certain water-saving use performance;

[0028] After the pre-buried pipes of the drip irrigation branch pipes 5 are completed, the tubular soil moisture monitor 9 is inserted into the soil of the planting area, and it is powered on and networked. The set tubular soil moisture monitor 9 can monitor the humidity in the soil in real time. When the detected humidity value is lower than the preset threshold, it means that the soil is too dry. At this time, the tubular soil moisture monitor 9 transmits the detected numerical signal to the integrated control computer system. After receiving the signal from the tubular soil moisture monitor 9, the computer system can control the drip irrigation pump 2 to work. At this time, water is delivered and drip irrigation is carried out through the drip irrigation pump 2 to ensure the drip irrigation effect of automatic monitoring;

[0029] When the soil moisture after drip irrigation is restored, the soil moisture value exceeds the preset threshold of the tubular soil moisture monitor 9, and the tubular soil moisture monitor 9 transmits the humidity value signal after drip irrigation to the integrated control computer system again. At this time, the system controls the drip irrigation pump 2 to stop working, thereby completing the automated drip irrigation shutdown processing of crops.

[0030] In this embodiment, a water inlet is provided on the outer wall of one side of the drip irrigation water pump 2, and a water injection pipe 4 is installed on the water inlet of the drip irrigation water pump 2. When the water injection pipe 4 is actually used, its top end is connected to a water tank for water supply;

[0031] Furthermore, a water outlet is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the top end of the drip irrigation water pump 2, and a water inlet pipe 3 is fixedly installed on the water outlet of the drip irrigation water pump 2;

[0032] Among them, in order to ensure the normal delivery and water injection of the drip irrigation pump 2 and ensure that the clean water in the external water tank can smoothly enter the drip irrigation main pipe 1, a pipe connecting seat 12 is fixedly installed in the middle of the drip irrigation main pipe 1, and the upper surface of the pipe connecting seat 12 is interconnected with the water inlet pipe 3.

[0033] In this embodiment, in order to improve the structural integrity and integrity between the drip irrigation branch pipes 5, a pipe outer sleeve 7 is sleeved on the outer wall of each drip irrigation branch pipe 5 and located between the two drip irrigation holes 6. The pipe outer sleeves 7 of two adjacent drip irrigation branch pipes 5 are fixedly connected by a connecting bracket 8. The provided pipe outer sleeve 7 and the connecting bracket 8 can connect several drip irrigation branch pipes 5 as a whole, which can facilitate the dismantling work when dismantling.

[0034] In this embodiment, in order to prevent the drip irrigation branch pipe 5 from being blocked due to the entry of large impurities, a filter membrane 11 is fixedly installed in each drip irrigation hole 6, so that the filter membrane 11 can effectively block and filter external impurities, preventing them from entering the drip irrigation branch pipe 5 through the drip irrigation hole 6 and causing blockage of the pipe body, thereby having a better use effect.

[0035] Working principle: When the utility model is actually used, one end of the water injection pipe 4 is connected to the water tank for water supply, so as to ensure normal clean water delivery;

[0036] Then, a plurality of drip irrigation branches 5 are pre-buried in the agricultural soil to be planted, and the roots of each plant are aligned with the drip irrigation holes 6 of the drip irrigation branches 5 one by one, so that during drip irrigation, the irrigation water discharged from the drip irrigation holes 6 can directly act on the roots of the plants, achieving a more direct drip irrigation effect, and having a certain water-saving usability;

[0037] After the pre-buried pipes of the drip irrigation branch pipe 5 are completed, the tubular soil moisture monitor 9 is inserted into the soil of the planting area, and is powered on and connected to the network. In actual operation, the tubular soil moisture monitor 9 and the drip irrigation pump 2 are simultaneously connected to the computer control system;

[0038] The tubular soil moisture monitor 9 can monitor the humidity in the soil in real time. When the detected humidity value is lower than the preset threshold, it means that the soil is too dry. At this time, the tubular soil moisture monitor 9 transmits the detected numerical signal to the integrated control computer system. After receiving the signal from the tubular soil moisture monitor 9, the computer system can control the drip irrigation pump 2 to work automatically. When the drip irrigation pump 2 works, it continuously injects the water in the external water tank into the drip irrigation main pipe 1 through the water injection pipe 4 and the water inlet pipe 3. The drip irrigation main pipe 1 is connected to a plurality of drip irrigation branches 5. The injected irrigation water can be discharged through the drip irrigation holes 6 of the plurality of drip irrigation branches 5, so that the drip irrigation work is carried out through the drip irrigation pump 2 to ensure the automatic drip irrigation effect after monitoring.

[0039] At the same time, in order to prevent the drip irrigation branch pipe 5 from being blocked due to the entry of large impurities, a filter membrane 11 is fixedly installed in each drip irrigation hole 6, so that the filter membrane 11 can effectively block and filter external impurities, preventing them from entering the drip irrigation branch pipe 5 through the drip irrigation hole 6 and causing blockage of the pipe body, which has a better use effect;

[0040] When the soil moisture after drip irrigation is restored, the soil moisture value exceeds the preset threshold of the tubular soil moisture monitor 9, and the tubular soil moisture monitor 9 transmits the moisture value signal after drip irrigation to the integrated control computer system again. At this time, the system controls the drip irrigation pump 2 to stop working, thereby completing the automatic drip irrigation shutdown process for crops;

[0041] To sum up, the utility model can automatically turn on and off the drip irrigation pump 2 according to the humidity value monitored by the tubular soil moisture monitor 9. In actual use, it has the effect of real-time monitoring and automatic drip irrigation. There is no need for manual soil monitoring, which greatly improves the labor intensity of agricultural planting personnel and saves trouble and effort. It can effectively avoid the technical problems of excessive drip irrigation or delayed drip irrigation caused by untimely monitoring. After the drip irrigation humidity meets the requirements, it can be automatically turned off to ensure the normal growth quality of crops. The timely shutdown of drip irrigation can effectively save water resources and avoid waste of water resources. It has better energy-saving and environmentally friendly agricultural planting effects. The utility model greatly improves the automated planting effect of agricultural drip irrigation, saves manpower, meets the needs of the automated development of modern smart agriculture, and has a simple overall structure and low installation and maintenance costs, making it suitable for popularization and use.
