[0027] Example
[0028] refer to Figure 1 As shown, the sprinkler system includes;
[0029] Support seat 1;
[0030] A driving member 2 is provided on the supporting base 1;
[0031] At least one support rod 3, the lower end of the support rod 3 is connected to the output end of the driving member 2, and the upper end of the support rod 3 is provided with a water spray head;
[0032] At least one sensor assembly, which is arranged at the upper end of the support rod 3 and at the same height as the sprinkler head, and is capable of sending signals in the direction of the sprinkler head and receiving signals reflected by objects;
[0033] The controller is in communication with the driving member 2 and the sensor assembly, wherein the driving member 2 can drive the support rod 3 to move to adjust the height of the water spray head relative to the support base 1.
[0034] A sensor assembly is provided near the water outlet of the sprinkler head. When plants grow upwards and block the sprinkler head, they also block the sensor.
[0035] In addition, the sensor component includes a photoelectric sensor, which includes a signal emitting end and a signal receiving end. When the light signal emitted by the signal emitting end encounters an obstacle such as a plant during straight-line propagation, the signal receiving end will receive part of the reflected light signal and feed the information back to the controller.
[0036] Among them, the signal receiving end can receive the optical signal reflected back at a short distance.
[0037] It can be seen that the controller controls the driving member 2 to drive the support rod 3 to move according to the information fed back by the sensor, so as to increase the height of the upper end of the support rod 3 relative to the support base 1 until the photoelectric sensors can no longer receive light signals, so that each sprinkler head avoids the plants.
[0038] In addition, the operator can also directly control the driving member 2 through the controller to drive the support rod 3 to move.
[0039] Through the above technical solution, when the sprinkler head of the sprinkler device provided by the present disclosure is blocked by plants, the controller can control the driving member 2 to drive the support rod 3 to move to adjust the height of the sprinkler head relative to the support base 1, so that the sprinkler head avoids the plants. Therefore, there is no need for manual intervention to adjust the height of the sprinkler head, saving labor costs and improving work efficiency.
[0040] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 It can be seen that the sprinkler device can also include a slide 401, which can be connected between the support rod 3 and the driving member 2. A slide sleeve 4 arranged in a vertical direction can be set on the top of the support seat 1, and the slide 401 can be set in the slide sleeve 4 and slide along the slide sleeve 4.
[0041] The lower end of the sliding sleeve 4 can be fixedly connected to the top surface of the support base 1 to cover the entire driving component 2 to prevent the wind in the farmland from affecting the operation of the driving component 2.
[0042] In addition, the bottom surface of the slide 401 can be connected to the output end of the driving member 2, and the sprinkler device may include three support rods 3 evenly distributed on the slide 401 along the circumference of the slide 401, so that the water sprayed by the sprinkler device can cover the farmland outward with the sprinkler device as the center; of course, in some other embodiments, other numbers of support rods 3 can be used, and this article will not go into details again.
[0043] In some embodiments, the side of the sleeve 4 may be provided with multiple hollow slides 402 for the support rod 3 to slide. One end of the support rod 3 may be hinged to the slide seat 401, and the other end may pass through the corresponding slide to be connected to the sprinkler head. A limiting member 5 may be provided at the upper end of the sleeve 4 to provide tension to the support rod 3 to prevent the support rod 3 from rotating under the action of gravity.
[0044] The plurality of hollow slideways 402 may be evenly distributed on the side surface of the sliding sleeve 4 along the circumference of the sliding sleeve 4 .
[0045] In some embodiments, the sleeve 4 may not include an outer wall, and the hollow slide 402 on the side may be composed of two rods to facilitate the maintenance of the connection between the slide seat 401 and multiple support rods 3. It can be understood that at this time the sleeve 4 cannot avoid the impact of wind on the operation of the drive member 2.
[0046] In some embodiments, each support rod 3 can also be fixedly connected to the slide 401. It is worth noting that at this time, the connection between the two can be relied upon to provide an upward force for the support rod 3 to overcome the gravity it is subjected to, and a limit member 5 may not be set at the upper end of the slide sleeve 4.
[0047] In some embodiments, a top cover 403 may be provided on the top of the sliding sleeve 4 , and the limiting member 5 may include a fixed disc 501 , a plurality of pull rods 502 and a support column 504 .
[0048] Among them, the two ends of the support column 504 are fixedly connected between the top cover 403 and the fixed disk 501, one end of each pull rod 502 is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed disk 501, and the other end extends downwardly in a direction away from the fixed disk 501 and is connected one-to-one with multiple support rods 3 to provide an upward pulling force to the support rod 3 to prevent it from rotating in the vertical direction under the drive of gravity.
[0049] In some embodiments, both ends of the support rod 3 can be provided with a slide groove 6 arranged along its axial direction. The end of the pull rod 502 close to the support rod 3 can be divided into two branch pull rods 503. A sliding member can be provided on the opposite side of the two branch pull rods 503. The sliding member is connected to the slide groove 6 and can slide along the slide groove 6.
[0050] In some embodiments, the driving member 2 may include an electric push rod, which may be arranged in the support seat 1. The piston rod of the electric push rod may pass through the upper end surface of the support seat 1 and be connected to the lower ends of the multiple support rods 3.
[0051] In the present disclosure, after the controller detects that the signal receiving end of the sensor receives a signal, it controls the piston rod of the electric push rod to retract, driving the slide 401 to move downward along the sleeve 4. At this time, the lower end of the support rod 3 moves downward along with the slide 401.
[0052] However, since the pull rod 502 is stationary and the length of the support rod 3 does not change, the sliding part on the pull rod 502 will move along the slide groove 6 toward the upper end of the support rod 3, causing the upper end of the support rod 3 to rotate upward in the vertical direction, thereby driving the sprinkler head connected to the upper end of the support rod 3 to rise.
[0053] Among them, since the sprinkler head will be closer to the support seat 1 relative to the original position after rising, it is conceivable that the water pressure needs to be increased at this time to ensure that the water sprayed by the sprinkler head after rising reaches the same farthest distance as the original position.
[0054] In some embodiments, the sliding member may include a smooth protrusion that is adapted to the shape of the slide groove 6 to avoid disconnection between the pull rod 502 and the support rod 3. Of course, in some embodiments, the sliding members on both sides can be used to clamp the support rod 3 from both sides to achieve the above-mentioned technical effect; the sliding member may also include a pulley. When the pulley is set in the slide groove 6, the upper and lower ends of the outer side of the pulley limit the pulley from disengaging from the slide groove 6 outward in a direction perpendicular to the depth of the slide groove 6.
[0055] In some embodiments, the slide groove 6 may include a T-shaped slide groove 6 .
[0056] In some embodiments, a steering joint may be provided at the connection between the pull rod 502 and the fixed disc 501. The two ends of the steering joint may be brought close to each other to form an acute angle, so that the pull rod 502 can be tilted and extended downward. At the same time, the steering head is detachably connected to the fixed disc 501 and the support rod 3 to facilitate subsequent replacement of damaged parts.
[0057] In some embodiments, the width of the hollow slide 402 can be adapted to the width of the support rod 3 to limit the horizontal movement of the support rod 3 relative to the slide, thereby avoiding insufficient watering areas between the sprinkler heads.
[0058] In some embodiments, a carrier 7 for mounting the water sprinkler head may be provided at the connection between the support rod 3 and the water sprinkler head, and the water sprinkler head and the carrier 7 may be detachably connected.
[0059] Among them, bosses 701 with cam-shaped contours are set on both sides of the carrier 7, and clamping rings can be set on both sides of the water sprinkler. The inner ring shape of the clamping ring can be adapted to the shape of the boss 701 to connect the water sprinkler to the carrier 7.
[0060] In some embodiments, a bend pipe 8 may be provided at the connection between the support rod 3 and the carrier 7 to change the direction of the carrier 7 to facilitate the installation of the sprinkler head.
[0061] In some embodiments, the sprinkler device may further include a photovoltaic module for supplying power to the controller, the sensor, and the driver 2 .
[0062] Thus far, various embodiments of the present disclosure have been described in detail. To avoid obscuring the concept of the present disclosure, some details known in the art have not been described. Based on the above description, those skilled in the art can fully understand how to implement the technical solutions disclosed herein.
