Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0035] Embodiment

[0036] The following materials are used in this embodiment:

[0037] Prepare polyethylene as the raw material and injection - mold it into the water supply tank 1. As shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The structure of the water supply tank 1 is a cuboid box with an open top, as shown in Figure 1In the direction shown, there is a connecting hole that communicates with the inside and outside on its left and right side walls. At the connecting holes, a section of connecting pipe is connected outward. On the left and right sides of the top of the water supply tank 1, there is a protruding section, and there is a groove that communicates with the front and back on the inner side of the protruding part.

[0038] Prepare polyethylene as the raw material and injection mold it into the mounting plate 5. As Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the mounting plate 5 is a rectangular plate. Four hollow cylindrical pipe structures are connected up and down on the mounting plate 5 and are evenly spaced left and right. The specific number of the mounting plate 5 and the cylindrical pipes can be increased or decreased according to the number of drip irrigation.

[0039] Prepare polyethylene as the raw material and injection mold it into the water inlet tank 2. As Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, the water inlet tank 2 is a cuboid box. A section of connecting pipe is connected to the left side wall, and a circular through hole that communicates with the inside and outside is opened at a position near the upper end of the right side wall.

[0040] Prepare multiple sections of hoses made of stainless steel as the hose 6. As Figure 3 shown, the hose made of stainless steel can be bent and shaped, which is convenient for drip irrigation of plants at different distances. The number of sections of the hose 6 is the same as the number of cylindrical pipes on the mounting plate 5 and is determined according to the usage requirements. When the hose 6 is actually used, it can be made of plastic material or other existing pipe materials.

[0041] Prepare rubber plugs as the plugs 7.

[0042] Prepare several sections of absorbent cotton ropes as the absorbent cotton ropes 8. The number of absorbent cotton ropes 8 is determined according to the required number of drip irrigation. In this embodiment, the number of absorbent cotton ropes used is the same as the number of hoses 6.

[0043] Prepare a section of elbow pipe that bends downward as shown in Figure 11 as the water inlet pipe 3.

[0044] Prepare a section of water pipe with a valve as the connecting pipe 4.

[0045] Prepare an automatic water stop valve as the water level control valve 9. The water level control valve 9 is a prior art and mainly includes a main valve and a float valve. The main valve is used to open and close the water flow, and the float valve is used to control the height of the water level. When the water level drops and the float valve opens to drain water, the main valve opens to supply water. When the water level rises to the control line, the float valve closes and the main valve stops supplying water.

[0046] The assembly method of the above materials is as follows:

[0047] Place the two water supply tanks 1 horizontally in the rows of the vegetable garden. As Figure 1 shown, connect the two water supply tanks 1 through the pipes on their opposite sides; as Figure 2As shown in the figure, the mounting plate 5 is embedded in the front-to-back grooves on the top of the water supply tank 1, or can be fixed by existing fasteners such as screws.

[0048] As Figure 11 shown in the figure, a water-absorbing cotton rope 8 is inserted into the hose 6. Both ends of the water-absorbing cotton rope 8 are located outside the hose 6. The hose 6 is inserted into the cylindrical pipe of the mounting plate 5, and the insertion depth of the hose 6 reaches the bottom of the water supply tank 1, so that one end of the water-absorbing cotton rope 8 located in the water supply tank 1 is always below the liquid level, which is convenient for water absorption.

[0049] As Figure 1 shown in the figure, the water inlet tank 2 is placed on the right side of the water supply tank 1. The water supply tank 1 is connected to the water inlet tank 2 through a horizontal connecting pipe 4. A plug 7 is installed at the connecting hole on the left side wall of the leftmost water supply tank 1, so as to conveniently increase or decrease the number of water supply tanks 1 as needed. The water inlet pipe 3 is inserted into the water inlet tank 2, and a water level control valve 9 is installed at the water outlet end of the water inlet pipe 3. The height of the water level control line of the water level control valve 9 should be lower than the height of the top of the water supply tank 1 to prevent water from overflowing.

[0050] The usage instructions are as follows:

[0051] Place the irrigation device between the rows of the field, in the garden or on the balcony. After assembly, connect the water inlet pipe 3 to the water pipe to provide water source, open the valve on the connecting pipe 4. According to the principle of communicating vessels, the liquid levels in the water supply tank 1 and the water inlet tank 2 will be the same height. When the liquid level in the water inlet tank 2 reaches the water level control line of the water level control valve 9, the water level control valve 9 will automatically close.

[0052] According to the capillary phenomenon, the water-absorbing cotton rope 8 in the hose 6 will suck out the water and slowly drip it on the roots of the crops to achieve drip irrigation. After the liquid levels of the water supply tank 1 and the water inlet tank 2 drop, the water level control valve 9 will automatically open to supplement water. If the length of the device is not enough, the water supply tank 1 can be installed continuously to extend the length.

[0053] This irrigation device waters in the way of drip irrigation, but does not need to pre-install too many pipes, is also convenient for assembly and transportation, has a simple structure, low cost, and saves water.
