Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of irrigation, and in particular to an irrigation device for plant cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] Irrigation for plant cultivation is a crucial aspect of agricultural production, involving the effective use of water resources to meet the water needs of plant growth. With advancements in technology, irrigation techniques have continuously improved, evolving from traditional surface irrigation methods such as furrow and bed irrigation to more efficient and precise methods such as drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, micro-sprinkler irrigation, and seepage irrigation.

[0003] Irrigation systems for plant cultivation typically refer to systems that automatically or semi-automatically provide water to plants. These systems help improve irrigation efficiency and conserve water resources. Traditional irrigation systems mostly rely on manually controlled water pumps, but the amount of water depends on the grower's experience and judgment. This method is not precise enough and is not conducive to plant growth. Although most commonly used irrigation systems adopt a quantitative watering model, plants have different water requirements at different growth stages and under different environmental conditions. This quantitative watering method cannot differentiate irrigation based on the actual needs of plants, resulting in water waste.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design an irrigation device for plant cultivation that can control the amount of water used. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0024] 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.

[0025] Example: An irrigation device for plant cultivation, such as Figures 1-8As shown, the system includes a frame 1, axles 2, wheels 201, tracks 202, a drive motor 3, a support frame 4, a water pump 5, a crossbar 6, a spray head 601, a spray pipe 602, an electric push rod 8, and a sensor 801. Axles 2 are rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the bottom of the frame 1. Wheels 201 are fixed to the left and right sides of each axle 2. Tracks 202 are wound around the wheels 201 on the same side and the support plate on the same side of the frame 1. The tracks 202 have several anti-slip patterns that mesh with the wheels 201. Several auxiliary wheels are also connected to the left and right sides of the frame 1 to guide the movement of the tracks 202. A drive motor 3 is installed on the rear axle 2. A support frame 4 is welded to the bottom of the frame 1, and the drive motor 3 is connected to the support frame 4 by threads. A water pump 5 is connected to the middle of the support frame 4 by threads. A crossbar 6 is fixed to the water pipe above the water pump 5. Several spray heads 601 are installed on the crossbar 6. Four spray pipes 602 are fixed to each spray head 601. Several spray holes are provided on the surface of each spray pipe 602 on the spray head 601. The spray holes are all located on the same side of the spray pipe 602. An electric push rod 8 is connected to the bottom of the rear side of the support frame 4 by threads. A sensor 801 is fixed to the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 8.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a handle 7. The handle 7 is welded to the rear side of the frame 1, and the handle 7 is provided with an anti-slip sleeve.

[0027] like Figures 5-7 As shown, it also includes a plate frame 9, a first rotating shaft 901, a second rotating shaft 902, a spur gear 10, a ratchet gear 11, a drum 12, a pawl 1201, a torsion spring 1202, a drip irrigation tape 13, a threaded sleeve 14, and a stop 1401. The plate frame 9 is fixedly connected to the front side of the support frame 4. The first rotating shaft 901 is rotatably connected to the middle left side of the plate frame 9. The spur gear 10 is fixedly connected to the left side of the first rotating shaft 901. The spur gear 10 is also fixedly connected to the front axle 2, and the two spur gears 10 mesh with each other. The ratchet gear 11 is fixedly connected to the right side of the first rotating shaft 901, and the ratchet gear 11 is located on the plate frame. On the left side of the inner wall of plate 9, a second rotating shaft 902 is fixedly connected to the middle of the plate frame 9. A drum 12 is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 902, and the axis of the drum 12 is on the same horizontal line as the center of the ratchet 11. A pawl 1201 is rotatably connected to the left side of the drum 12. A torsion spring 1202 is fixedly connected between the pawl 1201 and the drum 12. The pawl 1201 and the ratchet 11 can mesh. A drip irrigation tape 13 is wound on the drum 12. A threaded sleeve 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the plate frame 9. The center of the threaded sleeve 14 is directly opposite the apex of the ratchet 11. A stop 1401 is connected to the internal thread of the threaded sleeve 14.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 8As shown, it also includes a cover 15 and a controller 16. The cover 15 is connected to the top rear side of the support frame 4 by a thread, and the cover 15 has a small window to avoid obstructing the view. The controller 16 is installed on the rear side of the cover 15. The controller 16 is electrically connected to the sensor 801 and is also electrically connected to the water pump 5.

[0029] When using this device, first move it to the planting area that needs irrigation and ensure it is in normal operating condition. Then, start the drive motor 3. The drive motor 3 drives the rear axle 2 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating wheel 201 to rotate, ultimately moving the track 202. The auxiliary wheel contacts the track 202, controlling the direction of movement and making the track 202 move more smoothly. The user can hold the handle 7 to further control the direction of movement. The design of the track 202 evenly distributes the weight of the device, preventing it from sinking into soft soil and providing strong support for smooth irrigation.

[0030] After the device is moved to the planting area, the water pump 5 can be started simultaneously. The irrigation liquid enters the water pump 5, flows upward along the water pipe into the crossbar 6, and finally into the sprinkler head 601, spraying out from the nozzles on the spray pipe 602. Because the nozzles are all located on the same side of the spray pipe 602, the reverse thrust from the liquid spray will drive the sprinkler head 601 to rotate, thus irrigating the planting area more evenly. When the user controls the direction of the device, the cover 15 can prevent water mist from wetting the user's clothes. After reaching the location where long-term irrigation is required, the drive motor 3 can be stopped for more thorough irrigation of the crops. For precise irrigation, the electric push rod 8 can be activated. The telescopic rod of the electric push rod 8 drives the sensor head of the sensor 801 to contact the soil and detect the soil moisture content. When the moisture content reaches the required limit, the sensor 801 can control the water pump 5 to stop pumping water through the controller 16. This method makes irrigation more flexible and precise, effectively avoiding over-irrigation or under-irrigation.

[0031] In areas with complex terrain, uneven water flow may occur due to different irrigation methods. In such cases, different irrigation methods can be used. At the location requiring irrigation, the drive motor 3 is started. The drive motor 3 drives the axle 2 to rotate counterclockwise. The rotation of the axle 2 causes the connected wheel 201 to rotate counterclockwise as well, thus moving the device backward. When the axle 2 rotates counterclockwise, it drives the spur gear 10 to rotate as well, which in turn causes the other spur gear 10 meshing with it to rotate clockwise. This, in turn, drives the ratchet gear 11 to rotate clockwise. The ratchet gear 11 then drives the drum 12 to rotate clockwise through the pawl 1201, causing the drip irrigation tape 13 to be lowered. After correctly connecting the drip irrigation tape 13 to the water pipe on the water pump 5, drip irrigation can begin. When the drip irrigation tape 13 needs to be retracted, the stop 1401 is rotated downwards within the threaded sleeve 14. The right side of the pawl 1201 is pressed down by the stop 1401. When the pawl 1201 is pressed down, the torsion spring 1202 tightens, causing the left side of the pawl 1201 to lift up and no longer engage with the ratchet 11. At this point, the movement of the device driving the spur gear 10 and the ratchet 11 no longer affects the drum 12. Simply rotating the drum 12 counterclockwise is enough to retract the drip irrigation tape 13. When the drip irrigation tape 13 needs to be released again, the stop 1401 within the threaded sleeve 14 is rotated upwards, so that the right side of the pawl 1201 is no longer pressed down. The torsion spring 1202 relaxes, causing the pawl 1201 to rotate counterclockwise to reset and engage with the ratchet 11. At this point, the device moving backwards will release the drip irrigation tape 13 again. This method of retracting and releasing the drip irrigation tape 13 effectively reduces the labor intensity of manual labor during the process.

[0032] After the device is used, turn off the drive motor 3, electric push rod 8 and water pump 5 in sequence.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
