Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of water conservancy projects, and specifically to a variable-frequency speed-regulating hierarchical and zonal constant-pressure irrigation automatic control system. Background Technique
[0002] In the field of agricultural irrigation, water-saving irrigation technology has always been a research hotspot and focus. With the increasing global water shortage, traditional irrigation methods are no longer able to meet the requirements of modern agriculture for efficient water use. Therefore, sprinkler and micro-irrigation (sprinkler irrigation and micro-irrigation) technologies, due to their advantages such as water conservation, yield increase, land saving, and strong adaptability, have gradually become one of the most widely used water-saving irrigation engineering technologies in the world. However, in practical applications, sprinkler and micro-irrigation systems face many challenges. Especially in the case of a large irrigation area or a large change in terrain elevation difference, traditional irrigation systems often have difficulty ensuring the irrigation uniformity, which in turn affects the growth and yield of crops. This is mainly because the pump motor usually operates at a constant speed using the power frequency power supply (50Hz), and its operating characteristics cannot adapt to the dynamic changes of the flow rate and pressure in the field pipe network. When the pipe network layout and irrigation devices are determined, the pressure change in the pipe network system becomes the key factor affecting the irrigation uniformity.
[0003] In the current irrigation system, when the pump fails during long-term operation, the entire irrigation control system needs to be shut down for a long time to repair the pump, which affects the irrigation work efficiency of crops. At the same time, the flow rate of water in the branch pipe cannot be adjusted according to the irrigation requirements of different crops, and it cannot adapt to the irrigation requirements of different crops.
