[0030] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of the intelligent irrigation robot in the present invention is shown. Figure 2 A cross-sectional view of the intelligent irrigation robot in the present invention is shown. Figure 3 Shows the left side view of the intelligent irrigation robot in the utility model, Figure 4 Shown in the utility model Figure 2 The enlarged view of point A in the figure, Figure 5 Shown in the utility model Figure 2 As shown in the enlarged view at point B in FIG, the intelligent irrigation robot comprises: a robot body 1; a storage tank 11 disposed within the robot body 1; and irrigation arms 12 disposed on either side of the robot body 1, i.e., two irrigation arms 12 disposed on the left and right sides of the robot body 1. Each irrigation arm 12 is hingedly connected to the robot body 1. Each irrigation arm 12 is connected to the interior of the storage tank 11 via a connecting pipe, and each connecting pipe is equipped with a water pump 131. Each irrigation arm 12 has a first flow channel 121 and multiple second flow channels 122, wherein the first fluid channel is connected to the connecting pipe, and the second flow channels 122 are connected to the first flow channel 121. Each irrigation arm 12 is also equipped with multiple irrigation nozzles 123, each of which is connected to the first flow channel 121 via a second flow channel 122. In this embodiment, each irrigation robot arm 12 is equipped with three second flow pipes 122 and three irrigation nozzles 123, meaning the intelligent irrigation robot is equipped with a total of six second flow pipes 122 and six irrigation nozzles 123. This allows the intelligent irrigation robot to simultaneously irrigate six rows of crops, improving irrigation efficiency. The water pump 131 is used to transport the solution within the storage tank 11 to the first flow pipe 121 within the irrigation robot. The first flow pipe 121 is used to transport the solution to the second flow pipe 122, and the second flow pipe 122 is used to transport the solution to the corresponding irrigation nozzle 123. The irrigation nozzle 123 is used to spray the solution onto the crops.

[0032] Furthermore, the irrigation robot arm 12 also includes multiple fixing rods 124, each of which connects the first circulation pipe 121 and the second circulation pipe 122. Multiple fixing rods 124 also connect two adjacent second circulation pipes 122. In this embodiment, each irrigation robot arm 12 also includes four fixing rods 124, two of which connect the first circulation pipe 121 and the second circulation pipe 122, and the remaining two connecting two adjacent second circulation pipes 122. The fixing rods 124 serve as support points for the robot arm, enhancing the structural stability of the irrigation robot arm 12 and reducing the amplitude of vibration and shaking of the irrigation robot arm 12, thereby maintaining stability during the movement of the intelligent irrigation robot and improving the precision and stability of irrigation.

[0033] Furthermore, each irrigation nozzle 123 has a flow control valve 1231, and the flow control valve 1231 is located at the input end of the irrigation nozzle 123, and the flow control valve 1231 is located on the side of the irrigation nozzle 123 close to the second circulation pipe 122. The flow control valve 1231 is used to accurately control the flow through the valve, thereby controlling the amount of solution sprayed by the irrigation nozzle 123, ensuring that the irrigation nozzle 123 sprays an appropriate amount of solution each time, avoiding excessive or insufficient solution sprayed by the irrigation nozzle 123, and improving irrigation accuracy.

[0034] Furthermore, a first drive motor 14 is provided at the hinge between any of the irrigation mechanical arms 12 and the robot body 1, and the irrigation mechanical arm 12 is driven to rotate by the first drive motor 14. In this embodiment, the irrigation robot includes two first drive motors 14, and the two first drive motors 14 work simultaneously, so as to avoid the irrigation robot being subjected to unbalanced force and falling during walking when one of the drive motors rotates and drives the corresponding irrigation mechanical arm to rotate, which is conducive to improving the stability of the intelligent irrigation robot during walking. Secondly, the rotation of the irrigation mechanical arm 12 by the first drive motor 14 can enable the irrigation mechanical arm 12 to spray crops located in different positions, thereby improving the working efficiency of the intelligent irrigation robot.

[0035] Furthermore, a mobile device 2 is provided below the robot body. The mobile device 2 includes multiple lifting mechanisms 21 and multiple track mechanisms 22. The upper end of each lifting mechanism 21 is connected to the bottom of the robot body, and the lower end of each lifting mechanism 21 is connected to the corresponding track mechanism 22. In this embodiment, the mobile rod device includes four lifting mechanisms 21 and four track mechanisms 22. The lower end of each lifting mechanism 21 is connected to a corresponding track mechanism 22, that is, the lifting mechanisms 21 and the track mechanisms 22 are connected in a one-to-one correspondence. The lifting mechanisms 21 are used to adjust the height of the irrigation robot so that the irrigation arm 12 is positioned above the corresponding crop for irrigation. The track mechanisms 22 are used to adjust the position of the irrigation robot so that the irrigation arm 12 is positioned to the side of the corresponding crop. The combination of the two positions enables the irrigation robot to be positioned at the corresponding height and position for irrigation, thereby improving the precision and stability of the intelligent irrigation robot's irrigation.

[0036] Furthermore, a shock absorber 3 is provided between the robot body and the mobile device 2. The shock absorber 3 is used to reduce the shaking between the robot body and the mobile device 2 when the robot body is walking in the soil. The shock absorber 3 is used to prevent the entire irrigation robot from falling due to the shaking of the robot body, thereby ensuring the working stability of the irrigation robot.

[0037] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 21 includes a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod 212, and a lifting motor 213. The fixed end of the first connecting rod 211 is connected to the bottom of the robot body, and the fixed end of the second connecting rod 212 is connected to the corresponding track mechanism 22. The connecting end of the first connecting rod 211 is inserted into the connecting end of the second connecting rod 212. The first connecting rod 211 is driven by the lifting motor 213 to move within the second connecting rod 212. The lifting mechanism 21 is used to change the height of the robot body from the ground, so that the irrigation arm 12 on the robot body can irrigate above the corresponding crops. The second connecting rod 212 is fixed to the track mechanism 22, and the first connecting rod 211 is inserted into the second connecting rod 212. When the lifting motor 213 rotates, the output end of the lifting motor 213 moves upward, thereby driving the first connecting rod 211 to move upward, causing the robot body to move upward, and causing the irrigation mechanical arm 12 to rise to a designated position for irrigation or spraying pesticides; similarly, when the lifting motor 213 rotates, the output end of the lifting motor 213 moves downward, thereby driving the first connecting rod 211 to move downward, causing the robot body to move downward, and causing the irrigation mechanical arm 12 to rise to a designated position for irrigation or spraying pesticides.

[0038] Furthermore, a waterproof rubber sleeve 4 is provided on the exterior of the lifting mechanism 21, and the waterproof rubber sleeve 4 wraps around the outer surface of the lifting mechanism 21. The waterproof rubber sleeve 4 can fit tightly onto the object or equipment to be protected, preventing moisture from penetrating into the lifting mechanism 21 and causing malfunction of the lifting mechanism 21. This helps prevent the penetration of moisture, humidity, and other liquids, reduces the risk of moisture eroding the lifting mechanism 21, and extends the service life of the lifting mechanism 21.

[0039] Furthermore, the track mechanism 22 includes: track shoes 221, drive wheels 222, and a second drive motor; the output end of the second drive motor is connected to the drive wheel 222, and the rotation of the drive wheel 222 drives the track shoes 221 to move. In this embodiment, the second drive motor is located at the connection between the track mechanism 22 and the lifting mechanism 21, and the drive wheel 222 is located within the triangle formed by the track shoes 221, and the drive wheel 222 abuts against the track shoes 221. When the second drive motor rotates, it drives the drive wheel 222 to rotate, and the rotation of the drive wheel 222 drives the track shoes 221 to move, thereby causing the irrigation robot to move, which is beneficial for moving the irrigation robot to the corresponding position for sprinkler irrigation and improving the efficiency of sprinkler irrigation.

[0040] Furthermore, the triangle formed by the track shoes 221 contains planetary gears and guide wheels. The planetary gears are used to support the vehicle's weight and guide the track properly. They are evenly distributed along the inner side of the track and can rotate freely within a certain range. When the intelligent irrigation robot moves, the planetary gears contact the track shoes 221, providing support and guidance, ensuring that the track can smoothly pass around components such as the drive wheels 222 and guide wheels. The planetary gears also disperse the pressure of the vehicle on the ground, improving the vehicle's maneuverability and stability. The guide wheels mitigate impact forces from the road and reduce vibration of the machine body, which helps extend the service life of the track mechanism 22.

[0041] Furthermore, the robot body 1 is provided with a power indicator light 5, which has three colors, namely red, yellow, and green. When the power indicator light 5 is red, it warns the user that the power of the intelligent irrigation robot is between 0% and 10%. When the power indicator light 5 is yellow, it reminds the user that the power of the intelligent irrigation robot is between 11% and 40%. When the power indicator light 5 is green, it tells the user that the power of the intelligent irrigation robot is between 41% and 100%. Different colors correspond to different power ranges, which helps the user intuitively understand the corresponding power remaining of the intelligent irrigation robot according to the different colors of the power indicator light 5, and assign different tasks according to different power remaining.

[0042] To sum up, the utility model articulates the irrigation mechanical arm with the robot body, so that the irrigation mechanical arm can rotate to different angles, so that the irrigation mechanical arm sprays crops at different positions, thereby improving the working efficiency of the intelligent irrigation robot; the utility model also provides multiple irrigation nozzles on the irrigation mechanical arm, so that the intelligent irrigation robot can irrigate multiple rows of crops at the same time, thereby improving irrigation efficiency.
