Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of garden maintenance, and in particular to an intelligent tree root system monitoring and waterlogging prevention device. Background Art

[0002] Excessive moisture in the soil where trees grow leads to oxygen deficiency, inhibiting root respiration and reducing the tree's absorption function. When the lack of oxygen is severe, the tree's roots undergo anaerobic respiration, which easily accumulates alcohol and causes protein coagulation, leading to root death. Therefore, timely drainage is particularly important for planting valuable and rare trees and tree species with poor water tolerance. The tree root waterlogging prevention device prevents tree death due to excessive water through effective drainage measures, ensuring the normal growth of trees.

[0003] Currently, existing tree flood prevention devices typically regularly drain water from the tree's root system to prevent flooding. However, each tree has its own unique characteristics, with varying preferences for moisture and drought tolerance. Therefore, existing tree flood prevention devices struggle to determine soil moisture based on the tree's characteristics, enabling intelligent management and precise watering. Furthermore, when the roots become overly waterlogged due to natural or human factors, it's difficult to intelligently extract the excess water in a timely manner, potentially leading to the tree's death from waterlogging. Consequently, existing flood prevention devices struggle to adapt flood prevention to the specific characteristics of each tree and varying external conditions. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to improve the problem that flood prevention devices are difficult to prevent trees from flooding according to the characteristics of different trees and different external conditions, the present application provides an intelligent tree root system monitoring and flood prevention device.

[0005] The present application provides an intelligent tree root system monitoring and waterlogging prevention device that adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A device for intelligent monitoring and flood prevention of tree roots, comprising a sump, a soil moisture sensor, a controller, a drainage pump and a filtering mechanism. The sump is connected and arranged in a soil layer where the tree roots are distributed. The soil moisture sensor is arranged in a soil layer where the tree roots are distributed. The controller is arranged on the sump and electrically connected to the soil moisture sensor. The drainage pump is connected and arranged on the sump and electrically connected to the controller. The filtering mechanism is arranged on the sump and is used to filter water entering the sump.

The soil moisture sensor monitors the moisture in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed and then sends an electrical signal to the controller. If the moisture in the monitored soil layer where the tree roots are distributed exceeds the set value, the controller controls the drainage pump to start, and the drainage pump can discharge the water in the sump, so that the water in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed is discharged into the sump, reducing the moisture in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed. The soil moisture sensor monitors the moisture in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed in real time, and the set value of the moisture in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed is set according to the characteristics of different trees, which effectively improves the problem that the flood control device is difficult to prevent trees from flooding according to the characteristics of different trees and different external conditions.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the soil moisture sensor monitors for a long time that the water content in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed exceeds the set value, it sends an electrical signal to the controller. The controller controls the solenoid valve to open, so that the water in the aquifer can be directly discharged into the collection pit through the quick drain pipe, thereby improving the drainage efficiency of the water in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed.

[0016] Optionally, a first filter plug is provided at the connection point between the quick drain pipe and the aquifer.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the first filter plug filters the sediment in the water entering the quick drain pipe from the aquifer, thereby reducing the probability of blockage of the quick drain pipe.

The controller controls the water pump to start. The water pump can then pump the water in the sump to the sprinkler head to spray it out to irrigate the trees, ensuring the water needs of the trees during drought.

[0020] Optionally, a second filter plug is provided at the connection point between the water pump and the sump.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the second filter plug will filter the water entering the water pump from the sump, reduce the amount of sediment in the water entering the water pump, and increase the service life of the water pump.

[0028] The following is combined with Figure 1 This application is described in further detail.

[0029] The embodiment of the present application discloses an intelligent tree root system monitoring and waterlogging prevention device.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 The intelligent monitoring and waterlogging prevention device for tree roots includes a water collection pit 1, a soil moisture sensor 2, a controller 3, a drainage pump 4, a filtering mechanism 5 and an irrigation mechanism 10.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 The sump 1 is buried in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed. The sump 1 is hollow inside and open at the top. A filter mechanism 5 is installed on the sump 1. The filter mechanism 5 is used to filter the water in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed that enters the sump 1. The filter mechanism 5 includes a filter mesh 51 and a filter cloth layer 52. The filter mesh 51 is installed on the side wall of the open end of the sump 1. In this embodiment, the filter mesh 51 is a stainless steel mesh, and the filter cloth layer 52 is installed on the boiler mesh. In this embodiment, the filter cloth layer 52 is composed of multiple layers of non-woven fabric. The water in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed is first filtered by the filter cloth layer 52, and then filtered by the filter mesh 51 before entering the sump 1 for storage. Through the filtering action of the filter cloth layer 52 and the filter mesh 51, the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed can retain moisture, and the amount of sediment in the water entering the sump 1 can be reduced.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 A water storage layer 6 composed of a mixture of sand and gravel is installed on the filter cloth layer 52. This mixture of sand and gravel allows water in the soil layer where the tree roots are located to remain within the water storage layer 6, maintaining the moisture content in the soil layer where the tree roots are located and ensuring the water required for tree production. Furthermore, the sand and gravel mixture of the water storage layer 6 can initially filter the water in the soil layer where the tree roots are located, reducing the sediment content in the water flowing to the filter cloth layer 52, thereby reducing the probability of the filter cloth layer 52 being clogged by sediment and ensuring the flow rate of the water filtered by the filter cloth layer 52.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 A plurality of support rods 7 are installed on the inner wall of the sump 1, and the plurality of support rods 7 are connected to the bottom of the filter screen 51. The plurality of support rods 7 support the filter screen 51, thereby improving the bearing capacity of the filter screen 51 and further improving the stability of the open end of the sump 1 on the filter screen 51.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 A plurality of soil moisture sensors 2 are installed in the soil layer where the roots of the water tree are distributed. The soil moisture sensors 2 are used to detect the moisture in the soil. The controller 3 is installed on the sump 1. The controller 3 is electrically connected to the plurality of soil moisture sensors 2. The drainage pump 4 is installed in communication with the sump 1. The drainage pump 4 is electrically connected to the controller 3.

[0035] The soil moisture sensor 2 monitors the moisture in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed, and then sends the monitoring data to the controller 3. If the moisture in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed monitored by the soil moisture sensor 2 exceeds the set value, the controller 3 controls the drainage pump 4 to start, and the drainage pump 4 pumps out the water in the sump 1. Space appears in the sump 1, so that the water in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed can be discharged into the sump 1, thereby reducing the moisture in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed. The staff sets the set value of the moisture in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed according to the characteristics of different trees, and cooperates with the soil moisture sensor 2 to monitor the moisture in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed in real time, so as to control the moisture in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed, and effectively improve the problem that the waterlogging prevention device is difficult to prevent trees from waterlogging according to the characteristics of different trees and different external conditions.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 A quick-drain pipe 8 is installed on the sump 1, which is connected to the aquifer 6. A first filter plug is installed on one end of the quick-drain pipe 8 connected to the aquifer 6. In this embodiment, the first filter plug is made of non-woven fabric; a solenoid valve 9 is installed on the quick-drain pipe 8, which is electrically connected to the controller 3.

[0037] The soil moisture sensor 2 continuously monitors that the water content in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed exceeds the set value. After continuously sending an electrical signal to the controller 3, the controller 3 controls the solenoid valve 9 to open, and the water in the aquifer 6 is filtered through the first filter plug, reducing the amount of sediment in the water in the aquifer 6 flowing into the sump 1 of the quick drain pipe 8, reducing the probability of the quick drain pipe 8 being blocked, and then the water flows directly from the quick drain pipe 8 into the sump 1, so that the water in the aquifer 6 is quickly discharged, and then the water in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed is quickly discharged, thereby improving the drainage efficiency of the water in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed.

[0038] Reference Figure 1The irrigation mechanism 10 is installed on the sump 1. The irrigation mechanism 10 is used to guide the water in the sump 1 to the trees. The irrigation mechanism 10 includes a water pump 101 and a sprinkler head 102. The water pump 101 is connected and installed on the sump 1. The water pump 101 is electrically connected to the controller 3. A second filter plug is installed at the connection between the water pump 101 and the water tank. In this embodiment, the second filter plug is also non-woven fabric; the sprinkler head 102 is installed on the ground where the water trees are planted, and the sprinkler head 102 is connected to the water pump 101 through a pipe.

[0039] The soil moisture sensor 2 detects that the water content in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed is lower than the set value, and then sends an electrical signal to the controller 3. The controller 3 controls the water pump 101 to start, and the water pump 101 pumps the water in the sump 1 to the sprinkler head, and the water is sprayed out to the sprinkler head 102 to irrigate the trees, ensuring the water needs of water trees during droughts. When water is pumped into the water pump 101, the second filter plug filters the sediment in the water, reducing the probability of blockage of the water pump 101 and the sprinkler head 102, and improving the service life of the water pump 101 and the sprinkler head 102.

[0040] The implementation principle of the intelligent monitoring and flood prevention device for tree roots in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the soil moisture sensor 2 monitors the moisture in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed, and then sends an electrical signal to the controller 3. If the moisture in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed exceeds the set value, the controller 3 controls the drainage pump 4 to start, and the drainage pump 4 drains the water in the sump 1. When the controller 3 receives that the moisture in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed continues to exceed the set value, it can also control the solenoid valve 9 to open, and quickly drain the water in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed into the sump 1. The soil moisture sensor 2 monitors the moisture in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed in real time, and the set value of the moisture in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed is set according to the characteristics of different trees, thereby improving the problem that the flood prevention device is difficult to prevent trees from flooding according to the characteristics of different trees and different external conditions. When the controller 3 receives that the water content in the soil layer where the tree roots are distributed is lower than the set value, it can also control the pumping pump 101 to start, and pump the water in the sump 1 to the sprinkler head 102 for watering the trees.

[0041] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
