Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of agricultural irrigation, and particularly to an intelligent valve control device. Background Art

[0002] Agricultural intelligent irrigation is an important development direction of modern agriculture and is most widely used in modern farmland or greenhouse planting. Agricultural intelligent irrigation equipment mainly includes pipelines laid on the ground surface, valves for controlling the on-off of the pipelines, sensors for detecting the pipeline pressure, and valve control devices for controlling the opening and closing of the valves. The valve control device includes a housing, a control circuit board arranged in the housing, a power supply, and a solar panel arranged outside the housing for charging the power supply.

[0003] However, the existing solar panels are usually directly fixed on the housing by means of glue. Such fixed installation has the following problems: 1. Since the valve control device is set in the wild, after being exposed to sun and rain for a long time, the glued part will loosen, resulting in the solar panel being not firmly fixed and being extremely easy to fall off, causing equipment damage and property loss; 2. Since the solar panel and the housing are fixed by means of glue, there is a large contact area between the solar panel and the housing. When the solar panel is irradiated by the sun, it will absorb a large amount of heat, and a large amount of heat can directly enter the valve control device through the housing, which is extremely easy to cause the circuit board and the power supply in the intelligent valve control device to overheat and be damaged. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a valve control device that can ensure the firm installation of the solar panel and prevent the circuit board and the battery from overheating and being damaged to solve the above problems.

[0004] The information disclosed in this background art section is only for enhancing the understanding of the background art of the present disclosure, and should not be regarded as an admission or any form of suggestion that this information constitutes the prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above problems, an intelligent valve control device is provided. This intelligent valve control device can not only avoid the overheating and damage of the circuit control board and the power supply in the bottom shell, but also the solar panel is firmly installed and easy to disassemble.

[0006] Specifically, this application provides an intelligent valve control device, which includes a bottom shell and an upper cover; a power supply and a circuit control board are arranged in the bottom shell; the upper cover is used to be arranged at the top opening of the bottom shell; the upper cover includes a mounting bottom plate, a plurality of stepped plates and a plurality of claws, and the plurality of stepped plates are respectively arranged at the corresponding edges and / or sides at the top of the mounting bottom plate; the plurality of claws are respectively arranged at the corresponding stepped plates, and the claws are used to clamp and press the solar panel on the stepped plates.

[0007] Optionally, the claw includes a connecting plate arranged on the stepped plate and a stop block arranged at the top end of the connecting plate.

[0008] Optionally, a guiding inclined surface for guiding the solar panel to slide into the corresponding space between the stop block and the step plate is provided at the corresponding end of the stop block.

[0009] Optionally, a stop bar for correspondingly limiting the solar panel is provided at the outer edge of the top of the step plate.

[0010] Optionally, an installation through hole for the pipeline of the solar panel to pass through is provided in the middle of the installation bottom plate, and a pipeline protecting cylinder is provided at the installation through hole.

[0011] Optionally, the bottom case includes a housing, rib plates staggered at the bottom wall of the housing, limiting bars provided at the bottom wall and / or side wall of the housing and connected to the outer sides of the rib plates, and installation posts provided at the bottom wall of the housing; the rib plates and the limiting bars define an installation space for arranging the power supply; the circuit control board is fixed to the installation posts by screws.

[0012] Optionally, first installation holes for arranging valve control card seats, second installation holes for arranging pressure sensor card seats, button holes for arranging control buttons, and antenna holes for arranging antennas are respectively provided at corresponding positions of the bottom case.

[0013] In the intelligent valve control device of the present application, the solar panel is installed on the step plate through a claw. On the one hand, the solar panel is not in direct contact with the installation bottom plate, and there is a gap between the two through the step plate, so that the heat absorbed by the solar panel will not be transferred to the inside of the bottom case through the installation bottom plate, thereby avoiding overheating damage to the circuit control board and the power supply inside the bottom case; on the other hand, the solar panel is fixed by the claw, so that the solar panel is firmly fixed, preventing the solar panel from loosening or even falling off after being exposed to the sun and rain for a long time, and the claw is also convenient for disassembling, replacing and repairing the solar panel.

The "first", "second", etc. involved in the present application are used to distinguish the described objects and do not have any sequential or technical meanings. And the "connection" and "coupling" involved in the present application, unless otherwise specified, both include direct and indirect connections (couplings).

[0021] Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of the intelligent valve control device in the embodiments of the present application, as Figure 1 shown, and referring to Figures 2 to 4 , the embodiments of the present application provide an intelligent valve control device 100, including a bottom case 110 and an upper cover 120. A power supply and a circuit control board (not shown) are provided inside the bottom case 110. The upper cover 120 is used to be arranged at the top opening of the bottom case 110. The upper cover 120 includes a mounting base plate 121, a plurality of step plates 122 and a plurality of claws 123. The plurality of step plates 122 are respectively arranged at the corresponding corners and / or side edges on the top of the mounting base plate 121. The plurality of claws 123 are respectively arranged on the corresponding step plates 122, and the claws 123 are used to clamp the solar panel at the step plates 122. The bottom case 110 and the upper cover 120 can be fixedly connected by bolts or screws.

[0022] In the intelligent valve control device 100 according to the embodiment of the present application, the solar panel is installed on the step plate 122 through the clamping claws 123. On the one hand, the solar panel is not in direct contact with the mounting bottom plate 121, and the step plate 122 creates a gap between them. Therefore, the heat absorbed by the solar panel will not be transferred to the bottom case 110 through the mounting bottom plate 121, thus avoiding overheating damage to the circuit control board and power supply in the bottom case 110. On the other hand, the solar panel is fixed by the clamping claws 123, making the solar panel firmly fixed, preventing the solar panel from loosening or even falling after being exposed to natural environments such as long-term sunlight and rain for a long time. Moreover, the clamping claws 123 also facilitate the disassembly, replacement, and repair of the solar panel.

[0023] In some embodiments of the present application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the clamping claw 123 includes a connecting plate 1231 provided on the step plate 122 and a stop block 1232 provided at the top end of the connecting plate 1231.

[0024] In this embodiment, when the solar panel is installed on the step plate 122, the solar panel is placed at the step plate 122 and pressed downward. Under the extrusion of the solar panel, the connecting plate 1231 deforms and spreads outward until the solar panel is installed on the step plate 122. At this time, the connecting plate 1231 resumes its deformation and moves inward, and the stop block 1232 presses on the light-receiving surface of the solar panel, restricting the movement of the solar panel perpendicular to the light-receiving surface. When the solar panel is disassembled from the step plate 122, an outward force is applied to the connecting plate 1231 to make the connecting plate 1231 deform and spread outward, so that the stop block 1232 no longer presses on the light-receiving surface of the solar panel. At this time, the solar panel can be taken out to complete the disassembly process. The clamping claw 123 of the embodiment of the present application is not only convenient for the installation and disassembly of the solar panel, but also has a simple structure and low cost.

[0025] In some embodiments of the present application, such as Figure 3 shown, a guiding inclined surface 1233 for guiding the solar panel to slide into the corresponding space between the stop block 1232 and the step plate 122 is provided at the corresponding end of the stop block 1232. In this embodiment, due to the provision of the guiding inclined surface 1233, when the solar panel is installed, the solar panel is pressed downward along the direction of the guiding inclined surface 1233 and finally slides into the corresponding space between the stop block 1232 and the step plate 122, facilitating the installation of the solar panel.

[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in the figure, a stop strip 124 for correspondingly limiting the solar panel is provided at the outer edge of the top of the step plate 122 to restrict the movement of the solar panel along the direction of its light-receiving surface. In this embodiment, due to the provision of the stop strip 124, the movement of the solar panel along the direction of its light-receiving surface is restricted. The stop strip 124 is used in cooperation with the claw 123 to make the fixation of the solar panel more firm.

[0027] In some embodiments of the present application, as Figure 2 shown, an installation through hole 125 for the pipeline of the solar panel to pass through is provided in the middle of the installation bottom plate 121, and a pipeline protection cylinder 126 is provided at the installation through hole 125. In this embodiment, the pipeline of the solar panel enters the power supply of the bottom case 110 through the installation through hole 125 and the pipeline protection cylinder 126 and supplies electric energy to the power supply. The pipeline protection cylinder 126 not only protects the pipeline of the solar panel, but also can play a certain supporting role for the solar panel to prevent the solar panel from being damaged.

[0028] In some embodiments of the present application, as Figure 4 shown, the bottom case 110 includes a housing 111, rib plates 112 staggered on the bottom wall of the housing 111, a limiting strip 113 provided on the bottom wall and / or side wall of the housing 111 and connected to the outside of the rib plates 112, and an installation post 114 provided on the bottom wall of the housing 111. The rib plates 112 and the limiting strip 113 define an installation space for installing the power supply. The circuit control board is fixed to the installation post 114 by screws. For example, the power supply is a multi-section rechargeable battery. An installation notch corresponding to the rechargeable battery is also provided inside the limiting strip 113. The installation notch is arc-shaped and has the same curvature as the rechargeable battery.

[0029] In this embodiment, the rib plates 112 and the limiting strip 113 are used to install the power supply, and the installation post 114 is used to install the circuit control board. Such a setting makes the fixation of the power supply and the circuit control board more firm and the layout more reasonable, and can rationally utilize the space inside the bottom case 110.

[0030] In some embodiments of the present application, as Figure 4 shown, first installation holes 115 for setting the valve control card seat, second installation holes 116 for setting the pressure sensor card seat, button holes 117 for setting the control button, and antenna holes 118 for setting the antenna are respectively provided at corresponding positions of the bottom case 110.

[0031] In this embodiment, the valve control card holder is connected to the valve through a 4-core wire to control the valve action. The pressure sensor card holder is connected to the pressure sensor through a 3-core wire to monitor the pipeline pressure. There are four keyholes 117, namely, a switch keyhole for installing a switch key, a valve opening keyhole for installing a valve opening key, a valve closing keyhole for installing a valve closing key, and a valve stop keyhole for installing a valve stop key. Among them, the valve stop key can stop at any time during the valve opening or closing process. An antenna is installed in the antenna hole 118 to receive remote control signals.

[0032] In some embodiments of the present application, as Figure 4 shown, an installation cylinder 119 for fixing the intelligent valve control device 100 is further provided at the bottom of the bottom case 110. For example, an installation rod is inserted into the field, and the installation cylinder 119 is inserted into the installation rod to realize the installation and fixation of the intelligent valve control device 100.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present application, the solar panel charges the power supply. The power supply is internally provided with a charge and discharge control circuit board, which has the functions of charge and discharge protection and automatic power supply recovery after protection. The function of automatic power supply recovery after protection means that the power supply will be protected after over-discharge. After charging through the solar panel and when the power is higher than the protection lower limit, the power supply automatically resumes operation. The power supply supplies power to the circuit control board to ensure the normal operation of the control system. The circuit control board has wireless communication functions based on LORA, valve control functions, pipeline pressure monitoring functions, and power supply power monitoring functions.

[0034] Although some preferred embodiments of the present application have been described, those skilled in the art can make additional changes and modifications to these embodiments once they know the basic creative concept. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted to include the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present application.

[0035] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the application concept. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present application fall within the scope of the claims of the present application and their equivalent technologies, the present application also intends to include these changes and modifications.
