Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of Panax notoginseng planting, in particular to quantitative watering equipment for Panax notoginseng planting. Background Art

[0002] Panax notoginseng (Panax notoginseng) is a highly economically valuable traditional Chinese medicinal herb with stringent water requirements for its growth. Proper water management is crucial for healthy growth, yield, and quality. However, current Panax notoginseng cultivation practices are plagued by inaccurate watering practices, stemming from the limitations of traditional watering methods.

[0003] In traditional Panax notoginseng cultivation, most farmers rely on manual watering or simple mechanical water pumps, which lack effective management methods for water quantity control. Due to a lack of technology and equipment, growers often rely on experience or visual inspection to complete watering operations. In this situation, it is difficult to achieve precise watering, leading to the following specific problems:

[0004] 1. Excessive watering: Excessive watering can lead to poor soil drainage. Prolonged exposure of the roots to high moisture levels can lead to diseases such as root rot. This not only reduces the survival rate of Panax notoginseng but also affects the active ingredient content of the medicinal material, thereby weakening its market competitiveness.

[0005] 2. Insufficient watering: Conversely, insufficient water can inhibit the growth of Panax notoginseng, especially during dry seasons. Insufficient water can easily lead to leaf wilt and, in severe cases, plant death. Furthermore, the accumulation of Panax notoginseng's active ingredients is closely related to an adequate water supply, and persistent water shortages can also lead to a decline in the quality of the medicinal material.

[0006] 3. Water waste and increased costs: Due to the lack of precise control measures, excessive watering directly leads to water waste. At the same time, long-term operation of water pumps increases energy consumption and production costs, which has a negative impact on both the environment and economic benefits.

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to develop a device that can control the amount of watering to ensure that water management can be carried out according to the actual water requirement of Panax notoginseng at different growth stages. In view of this, we propose a quantitative watering equipment for Panax notoginseng planting. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a quantitative watering device for Panax notoginseng planting to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0009] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0010] The quantitative watering equipment for Panax notoginseng planting includes a base, a weighing platform is provided on the top of the base, mounting slots are provided on the top of the weighing platform and near the four corners, and weighing sensors are provided in the four mounting slots. A supporting platform is placed on the top of the weighing platform, and four pressure-bearing columns arranged in a matrix are provided at the bottom of the supporting platform. The bottoms of the four pressure-bearing columns are respectively against four weighing sensors. A water tank is placed on the top of the supporting platform. When it is necessary to water the planted Panax notoginseng, the staff selects the appropriate watering amount a according to the planting area and growth stage of the Panax notoginseng, and sets a detection threshold b for the weighing sensor. The weighing platform cooperates with the weighing sensor and the supporting platform to measure the basic weight c of the empty water tank, so that the relationship a=bc exists. Then water is poured into the water tank. During the water filling process, the weighing sensor can detect the weight change of the water tank, and the water filling is stopped until it is detected that the weight of the water tank reaches the threshold set by the weighing sensor, so that the water tank stores the appropriate amount of water for watering, thereby achieving the effect of quantitative watering for Panax notoginseng planting.

[0011] A water injection pipe is provided on the left side of the water tank near the top, for injecting water into the water tank. A first solenoid valve is provided on the water injection pipe to facilitate intelligent control of the switch of the water injection pipe. When the weighing sensor detects that the weight of the water tank reaches a set threshold, the first solenoid valve closes and stops injecting water into the water tank.

[0012] An outlet pipe is provided at the bottom of the left side of the water tank for outputting the water in the water tank. A second solenoid valve is provided on the outlet pipe for intelligently controlling the switch of the outlet pipe. When water is poured into the water tank, the second solenoid valve is closed. When the irrigation water pump pumps water, the second solenoid valve is opened. An irrigation water pump is provided on the left side of the top of the base. The first solenoid valve, the second solenoid valve and the irrigation water pump are all connected to an external power supply. The input end of the irrigation water pump is connected to the outlet pipe through a pumping pipe, and the output end of the irrigation water pump is connected to a water supply pipe. The water in the water tank is pumped out by the irrigation water pump and transported to the watering pipeline. A sprinkler head is connected to the watering pipeline for spraying water on Panax notoginseng.

[0013] Preferably, a frame-shaped edge is provided at the edge of the bottom of the support platform, and the inner wall of the frame-shaped edge does not contact the outer wall of the weighing platform, which can prevent water from entering the gap between the support platform and the weighing platform, thereby effectively preventing water from entering the installation groove.

[0014] Preferably, a frame-shaped limiting plate is provided on the top of the support platform, and the bottom of the water tank is located inside the frame-shaped limiting plate, thereby improving the stability of the water tank when it is placed.

[0015] Preferably, a U-shaped avoidance groove is provided at the top of the frame-shaped limiting plate and near the front end on the left side, and the water outlet pipe passes through the U-shaped avoidance groove to avoid affecting the operation of the water outlet pipe.

[0016] Preferably, an air pressure balance pipe is provided on the left side of the water tank near the top. The air pressure balance pipe is located above the water injection pipe and is used to maintain the air pressure balance inside and outside the water tank. The end of the air pressure balance pipe is provided with a breathable dust cap to prevent impurities from entering the air pressure balance pipe.

[0017] Preferably, the top of the water tank and the positions near the four corners are provided with lifting rings. The water tank is relatively large in size, and the lifting rings are used for connecting lifting equipment to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the water tank.

[0018] Preferably, a fixed vertical plate is provided at the top of the base and near the left rear end, and a fixed connecting pipe is provided through the left side of the fixed vertical plate and near the top. The fixed connecting pipe is connected to an external water source supply device, and the output end of the fixed connecting pipe is connected to the water injection pipe through a hose. The design of the hose can avoid affecting the weighing operation, and water is introduced into the water injection pipe through the hose.

[0019] Preferably, a controller is provided on the left side of the fixed vertical plate, and a water level sensor is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the water tank. The water level sensor is used to detect that the water in the water tank is about to run out, and cooperates with the controller to time the delay in shutting down the irrigation water pump so that the irrigation water pump stops working just after the water is pumped out, thereby avoiding the situation where the irrigation water pump runs idle and burns out, and realizing the function of automatically stopping watering. The first solenoid valve, the second solenoid valve, the irrigation water pump and the water level sensor are electrically connected to the controller through wires respectively;

[0020] When filling water into the water tank, the controller controls the first solenoid valve to open, controls the second solenoid valve and the irrigation water pump to close, and makes the water filling pipe fill water into the water tank until it detects that the weight of the water tank after filling reaches the threshold set by the weighing sensor. The controller controls the first solenoid valve to close, and realizes the automatic stop of water filling. When watering Panax notoginseng, the controller controls the first solenoid valve to close, controls the second solenoid valve and the irrigation water pump to open, and the water in the water tank is output from the outlet pipe to the pumping pipe. The irrigation water pump transports the water to the water supply pipe, and the water supply pipe guides the water into the watering pipeline for Panax notoginseng planting until the water level sensor detects the water level in the water tank. The controller delays the closure of the irrigation water pump at a fixed time, so that the irrigation water pump stops working just after pumping out the water, thereby realizing the function of automatic quantitative watering.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0022] 1. The quantitative watering equipment for Panax notoginseng planting uses a weighing sensor to accurately measure the weight change of the water tank to achieve precise control of the water injection volume. This method ensures that the staff adjusts the required water volume according to the growth stage and planting area of ​​Panax notoginseng each time, avoiding excessive or insufficient watering and improving the accuracy of water management.

[0023] 2. The quantitative watering equipment for Panax notoginseng planting effectively avoids root rot caused by excessive watering and plant growth inhibition caused by insufficient water through precise water volume control, thereby improving the survival rate of Panax notoginseng and the content of effective ingredients in medicinal materials, and enhancing its market competitiveness and yield.

[0024] 3. The quantitative watering equipment for Panax notoginseng planting reduces unnecessary waste of water resources through an intelligent control system. At the same time, due to the precise control of watering volume, the operation time of the irrigation pump is reasonably arranged, which reduces energy consumption, production costs and negative impacts on the environment.

[0025] 4. The quantitative watering equipment for Panax notoginseng planting, combined with the use of water level sensors and controllers, can automatically stop the pump when the water tank is emptied, effectively preventing the irrigation water pump from idling and overheating, extending the equipment life and reducing maintenance costs.

When the water injection program is started, the controller 11 activates the first solenoid valve 51 to allow water to enter the water storage tank 5 through the water injection pipe 50. At the same time, the weighing sensor 4 monitors the weight increase of the water storage tank 5 in real time. Once it is detected that the weight reaches the threshold b, the controller 11 will close the first solenoid valve 51 to stop water injection. When watering is ready, the controller 11 The first solenoid valve 51 is closed and the second solenoid valve 53 is opened, and the irrigation water pump 8 is started.
