Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of electric valves, and in particular relates to a solar-powered irrigation valve. Background Art

[0002] The electric butterfly valve is a valve that uses a circular butterfly plate as an opening and closing member and rotates with the valve stem to open, close and regulate the fluid channel. The butterfly plate of the butterfly valve is installed in the diameter direction of the pipeline. In the cylindrical channel of the butterfly valve body, the disc-shaped butterfly plate is driven by an electric actuator to rotate around the axis. The rotation angle is between 0° and 90°. When it rotates to 90°, the valve is fully open.

[0003] Since electric butterfly valves require electricity to drive, and agricultural irrigation pipelines are generally located in outdoor farmland, it is inconvenient to connect to the power grid to power the electric butterfly valves, which limits the use of butterfly valves and has some shortcomings in actual use.

[0014] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0015] See also Figure 1-2 The utility model provides a technical solution: a solar-powered irrigation valve, comprising a butterfly valve body 1, a mounting plate 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the butterfly valve body 1, an electric actuator 3 provided on the top of the mounting plate 2, the electric actuator 3 drives the valve stem in the butterfly valve body 1 to rotate and adjust the opening, a mounting bracket 4 is provided on the top of the mounting plate 2, a solar panel 5 is obliquely arranged on the top of the mounting bracket 4, and a battery for powering the electric actuator 3 is provided on the mounting bracket 4 and at the bottom of the solar panel 5.

[0016] In this embodiment, the solar panel 5 generates current when receiving light, which is rectified by components such as a converter and then stored in a battery, which then supplies power to the electric actuator 3 .

[0017] The electric actuator 3 includes components such as a drive motor, a gear transmission mechanism, or a worm gear. The drive motor rotates the valve stem, which in turn rotates the valve plate to adjust the valve opening. Some electric actuators may include a wireless module, including a signal receiving module (such as a 4G module or a 5G module) and a controller, to receive remote control commands to control the drive motor and thus the valve opening and closing.

[0018] Solar power generation and electric actuators for valves are both existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0019] Furthermore, a waterproof box 6 is provided on the mounting frame 4 , and the battery is provided in the waterproof box 6 .

[0020] In this embodiment, the waterproof box 6 protects the battery to prevent water from entering the battery and causing a short circuit due to water leakage from the pipe or rain.

[0021] Furthermore, a mounting foot is provided at the bottom of the mounting frame 4, a mounting hole is provided on the mounting foot, and an arc-shaped mounting groove is provided on the mounting plate 2. Bolts pass through the mounting hole and the mounting groove to fix the mounting frame 4 to the mounting plate 2.

[0022] In this embodiment, there are two mounting feet, which are symmetrically arranged and located on both sides of the top of the mounting plate 2. Each mounting foot corresponds to a mounting slot and is installed by bolts. The mounting frame 4 and the solar panel 5 can be rotated as a whole according to the orientation requirements of the solar panel 3, so that the mounting holes on the mounting feet correspond to different positions of the mounting slots to change the orientation of the solar panel 5 and maximize its power generation efficiency.

[0023] Furthermore, the mounting frame 4 is made of stainless steel, and the mounting plate 2 is also made of stainless steel, which is not easy to rust or corrode and has a longer service life.

[0024] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
