Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant maintenance technology, and in particular to an irrigation device for tropical rainforest plants. Background Technology

[0002] Tropical rainforests are among the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth, boasting abundant plant resources. However, due to factors such as human activities and climate change, tropical rainforests face serious threats, with many rare plant species on the verge of extinction. As humans develop and destroy tropical rainforests, the growth environment of many plants has been severely affected, with irrigation issues becoming one of the most important factors restricting the growth of tropical rainforest plants.

[0003] Currently, the most common irrigation methods for tropical rainforest plants are natural rainfall and artificial irrigation. While natural rainfall is the most natural irrigation method, the rainfall is unstable due to climate change factors and cannot meet the growth needs of plants. Artificial irrigation, on the other hand, can control the amount and timing of irrigation water, but it requires a lot of manpower and resources, resulting in high costs and low efficiency. Therefore, an irrigation device is needed to improve irrigation efficiency and water resource utilization.

[0004] Currently available irrigation devices for tropical rainforest plants are moved to the location requiring irrigation, and then a water pump draws water from the storage tank. The water is then sprayed onto the plants through nozzles to complete the irrigation process. However, because the water flow cannot be adjusted according to the size of the plants, this can lead to water shortages or excessive watering, resulting in nutrient loss and affecting the normal growth of the plants, thus failing to meet the user's needs.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5This utility model provides an embodiment of an irrigation device for tropical rainforest plants, comprising a support frame 1, a water storage tank 3 fixedly connected to the top right side of the support frame 1, a water pump 4 fixedly connected to the top left side of the support frame 1, one end of the water pump 4 connected to an inlet pipe 5, the right end of the inlet pipe 5 connected to the water storage tank 3, the other end of the water pump 4 connected to an outlet pipe 6, a rotating rod 7 rotatably connected to the top of the inner side of the outlet pipe 6, the bottom end of the rotating rod 7 penetrating the outlet pipe 6 and fixedly connected to a worm gear 8, a cross-shaped fixing plate 9 fixedly connected to the inner side of the outlet pipe 6, a movable rod 10 rotatably connected to the left side of the cross-shaped fixing plate 9, and multiple fan-shaped plates 11 equidistantly fixedly connected to the outer perimeter of the movable rod 10, the outer wall of the movable rod 10... A worm gear 12 is fixedly connected to the left side, and a hollow tube 13 is connected to the left end of the liquid outlet pipe 6. An adjustment mechanism 2 is provided at one end of the hollow tube 13. The adjustment mechanism 2 is used to make it easy to adjust according to the size of the plant. The size of the gap on the cross fixing plate 9 is matched with the size of the corresponding fan plate 11 to prevent water from leaking from the gap between the fan plate 11 and the cross fixing plate 9. The worm gear 12 is meshed with the worm 8. The bottom end of the worm 8 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner side of the liquid outlet pipe 6, which can make the worm 8 rotate more stably. The front, rear, left and right ends of the support frame 1 are rotatably connected to the walking wheels 18. The front and rear ends of the right side of the support frame 1 are fixedly connected to the handles 19, which can make it easy to move the device.

[0033] Specifically, first observe the size of the plant, then rotate the rotating rod 7. The worm 8 at its bottom will rotate accordingly, and the worm wheel 12 meshing with the worm 8 will also rotate, thereby driving the sector plate 11 to rotate. At this time, the water flow of the irrigation system can be adjusted according to the angle change between the cross fixing plate 9 and the sector plate 11, so as to meet the water needs of plants of different sizes, and thus ensure that the tropical rainforest plants can obtain an appropriate amount of water to ensure their normal growth and meet the needs of users.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The adjusting mechanism 2 includes telescopic water pipes 201. The adjacent ends of two telescopic water pipes 201 are respectively connected to the front and rear sides of the hollow tube 13. One end of each telescopic water pipe 201 is connected to a connecting pipe 202, and the other end of the connecting pipe 202 is connected to a hollow ring 204. A hollow plate 205 is fixedly connected to the left side of the support frame 1. A servo motor 206 is fixedly connected to the upper right side of the hollow plate 205. The output end of the servo motor 206 passes through the hollow plate 205 and is fixedly connected to a drive gear 207. The inner left and right sides and the upper and lower ends of the 205 are provided with sliding grooves 208. The sliding grooves 208 are slidably connected to the sliding sliders 209. The outer sides of the two sliders 209 are fixedly connected to racks 210. The two racks 210 are meshed with the upper and lower sides of the drive gear 207. The opposite sides of the two racks 210 are fixedly connected to connecting blocks 211. One side of the two connecting blocks 211 is fixedly connected to the corresponding hollow rings 204. The interiors of the two hollow rings 204 are equidistantly connected to multiple nozzles 203.

[0035] Specifically, the servo motor 206 drives the drive gear 207 to rotate, and the rack 210, which meshes tightly with it, moves accordingly inside the slide groove 208. This design allows the connecting block 211 on one side of the rack 210 to drive the corresponding hollow ring 204 to move to both sides along the slide groove 208. At the same time, the hollow ring 204 will stretch the telescopic water pipe 201 during its lateral movement. The distance between the two hollow rings 204 can be adjusted according to the actual size of the plant, thereby achieving flexible irrigation for plants of different sizes. When the hollow ring 204 is adjusted to the appropriate position, the nozzle 203 can achieve uniform irrigation around the plant. This irrigation method ensures that all parts of the plant roots can come into contact with water in a timely and even manner, thereby improving the practicality and irrigation effect of the irrigation device.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top of the water storage tank 3 is provided with a tank cover 14, the top of the tank cover 14 is connected to the liquid inlet 15, the bottom of the water storage tank 3 is connected to the liquid outlet 16, the bottom end of the liquid outlet 16 passes through the support frame 1 and is threadedly connected to the sealing cap 17, and bolts 20 are threadedly connected to both the left and right sides of the tank cover 14, one end of the bolt 20 passes through the tank cover 14 and the water storage tank 3 in sequence.

[0037] Specifically, water can be easily injected into the water storage tank 3 through the inlet 15, and the outlet 16 can easily drain the water from the inside of the water storage tank 3. Loosening the bolt 20 can release the limiting fixation of the tank cover 14, at which point the inside of the water storage tank 3 can be cleaned.

[0038] Reference Figure 1A control panel 21 is fixedly connected to the middle right side of the support frame 1. The control panel 21 is electrically connected to the servo motor 206 and the water pump 4 respectively.

[0039] Specifically, the operation of the servo motor 206 and the water pump 4 can be controlled through the control panel 21. The model of the servo motor 206 is MHMJ082G1U, and the model of the water pump 4 is IS50-32-125.

[0040] Working principle: When using this device, first inject water into the water storage tank 3 through the liquid inlet 15, and then move the device to the position to be irrigated by the walking wheels 18. At this time, the hollow rings 204 on both sides are put on the outside of the main stem of the plant to be irrigated by the adjustment mechanism 2. Then, the water in the water storage tank 3 can be drawn out by the water pump 4. The drawn water will irrigate the plant through the nozzle 203. At the same time, observe the size of the plant. Then, rotate the rotating rod 7 and the worm 8 at the bottom will rotate. The worm wheel 12 that meshes with it will rotate, which can drive the fan plate 11 to rotate. At this time, the water flow rate can be adjusted according to the angle change between the cross fixing plate 9 and the fan plate 11, so as to ensure the normal growth of tropical rainforest plants.

[0041] Before irrigation, the servo motor 206 drives the drive gear 207 to rotate, and the rack 210 meshing with it moves to both sides inside the slide groove 208. The connecting block 211 on one side of the rack 210 drives the corresponding hollow ring 204 to move to both sides until the plant to be irrigated is just between the two hollow rings 204. As the hollow ring 204 moves, the telescopic water pipe 201 is stretched. At this time, the nozzle 203 can irrigate the plant around it at the same time, so as to ensure that all parts of the plant roots can come into contact with water in time.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
