[0024] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown:

[0025] This utility model provides a deep irrigation device for apple cultivation, including a main frame 1. The main frame 1 has three sets of connecting holes with their centers on the same straight line at equal intervals. A detection tube 2 is slidably connected to the inner side of the middle connecting hole, and irrigation pipes 3 are slidably connected to the inner sides of the two sets of connecting holes on both sides. A through hole is provided at the bottom end of the detection tube 2, and a humidity sensor 4 is slidably connected to the inner side of the through hole. Multiple sets of water spray nozzles are provided at equal intervals on the irrigation pipe 3.

[0026] The bottom ends of both the detection pipe 2 and the irrigation pipe 3 are provided with cones to reduce the resistance encountered by the detection pipe 2 and the irrigation pipe 3 when inserted into the soil, thereby reducing the load on the drive motor 17.

[0027] The humidity sensor 4 is fixedly connected to a plug 5 at its bottom end. The outer diameter of the plug 5 is equal to the inner diameter of the through hole. This prevents shallow soil from entering the inner side of the detection tube 2 and adhering to the humidity sensor 4 when the detection tube 2 is inserted into deep soil, which would cause the humidity sensor 4 to detect the deep soil inaccurately. In addition, the bottom end of the plug 5 is provided with a cone 2 that matches the cone 1 at the bottom end of the detection tube 2, preventing the plug 5 from obstructing the insertion of the detection tube 2.

[0028] The inner side of the detection tube 2 is fixedly mounted with an electric cylinder 7 by a fixing bracket 6. The output end of the electric cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the humidity sensor 4, which can drive the humidity sensor 4 and the plug 5 to move automatically.

[0029] The top ends of the detection tube 2 and the two sets of irrigation tubes 3 all pass through the connection holes and are fixedly installed with connecting cylinders 8. The outer sides of the three sets of connecting cylinders 8 are provided with toothed grooves. A protective shell is fixedly installed on the top side of the main frame 1. A rotating shaft 9 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the protective shell. Three sets of gears 10 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the rotating shaft 9 corresponding to the three sets of toothed grooves. The three sets of gears 10 are respectively meshed with the three sets of toothed grooves. A drive motor 17 is fixedly installed on the top side of the main frame 1. The output end of the drive motor 17 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 9, which can drive the automatic movement of the rotating shaft 9 and drive the detection tube 2 and the two sets of irrigation tubes 3 to move automatically.

[0030] Among them, baffles 11 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the top of the detection pipe 2 and the two sets of irrigation pipes 3. The top side of the baffle 11 abuts against the bottom side of the main frame 1. The outer diameter of the baffle 11 is larger than the inner diameter of the through groove to prevent the connecting cylinder 8 from moving excessively into the soil, which would affect the connection between the tooth groove and the gear 10.

[0031] Two sets of pumps 12 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the top side of the main frame 1. The two sets of pumps 12 are respectively connected to the inner sides of two sets of connecting cylinders 8 located on both sides through two sets of water supply hoses 13. The inner sides of the two sets of connecting cylinders 8 are respectively connected to the inner sides of two sets of irrigation pipes 3, which can conveniently supply water to the irrigation pipes 3. A connecting box 14 is fixedly installed on the top side of the main frame 1. Water supply pipes 15 are fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting box 14. The water supply pipes 15 are connected to the inner side of the connecting box 14. One end of the two sets of water supply pipes 15 are respectively connected to the water inlet of the two sets of pumps 12, which can conveniently supply water to the pumps 12. A water inlet pipe 16 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting box 14. The water inlet pipe 16 is connected to the inner side of the connecting box 14. One end of the water inlet pipe 16 extends out of the protective shell, which can conveniently supply water to the connecting box 14.

[0032] Support rods 18 are fixedly installed on the four corners of the bottom side of the main frame 1. A base plate 19 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the four sets of support rods 18. Casters 20 are fixedly installed on the four corners of the bottom side of the base plate 19. A push rod 21 is fixedly installed on one side of the main frame 1, which can realize the flexible movement of the main frame 1. The base plate 19 is provided with three sets of through grooves corresponding to the detection pipe 2 and the two sets of irrigation pipes 3, respectively, to prevent the base plate 19 from obstructing the movement of the detection pipe 2 and the two sets of irrigation pipes 3.

[0033] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When deep irrigation is required, the main frame 1 is first moved to a suitable position by push rod 21. Then, the electrical components such as electric cylinder 7, pump 12, and drive motor 17 are connected to an external power supply and control unit. The water inlet pipe 16 is connected to an external water source. Then, the drive motor 17 is started to drive the rotating shaft 9 to rotate. The rotating shaft 9 drives the three sets of connecting cylinders 8 to move through gear 10, and drives the detection pipe 2 and irrigation pipe 3 to be inserted into the soil. Then, the electric cylinder 7 is started to move the humidity sensor 4 and plug 5 to the outside of the detection pipe 2 to detect the soil moisture. If the test result indicates that the soil needs irrigation, the pump 12 is started. The pump 12 obtains water from the connecting box 14 through the water pipe 15 and delivers it to the connecting cylinders 8 on both sides through the water hose 13. The water passes through the connecting cylinders 8 and the irrigation pipe 3 and is sprayed out from the nozzle to irrigate the deep soil. When the humidity detected by the humidity sensor 4 reaches the standard, the pump 12 is turned off and the drive motor 17 is driven to move the detection pipe 2 and the irrigation pipe 3 away from the soil, and the main frame 1 is moved to the next irrigation point. This process is repeated until the deep soil of all apple trees has been tested and irrigated.

Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments are selected and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for specific applications.
