Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drainage technology, and in particular to a greenhouse drainage system. Background Technology

[0002] In agricultural production, greenhouses are an essential device. The use of greenhouses can effectively reduce pests and bird damage to crops, keep them warm, and increase yields.

[0003] As an auxiliary device for crops, greenhouses are limited by their manufacturing process and materials, and the sealing of the top is often not very good. Rainwater often seeps into the greenhouse, especially during the flood season, when excess rainwater can severely damage crops. In summer, the air humidity is high and the temperature is low at night, so water vapor in the air often condenses into water droplets and adheres to the crops. This leads to an increase in the water content of the soil inside the greenhouse, and excessive soil moisture will cause crop yield reduction.

[0004] Traditional greenhouse drainage systems often involve digging drainage ditches at the bottom of the greenhouse. While this drains excess water from the greenhouse, it fails to control the soil moisture content. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a greenhouse drainage system that can collect and discharge water leaking from the top of the greenhouse and dew generated inside the greenhouse.

[0006] A greenhouse drainage system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a greenhouse, a water collection hopper, a dew collection trough, a water receiving channel, and a bird net. One end of the dew collection trough is connected to the water collection hopper, and the other end of the dew collection trough is connected to the inside of the greenhouse. The dew collection trough is used to collect dew inside the greenhouse and guide the collected dew into the water collection hopper. One end of the water receiving channel is connected to the water collection hopper, and the other end of the water receiving channel is connected to the greenhouse. The water receiving channel is used to collect rainwater seeping into the greenhouse and guide the collected rainwater into the water collection hopper. The bird net is installed on the side of the water collection hopper close to the greenhouse. The bird net is used to cover the dew collection trough and the water receiving channel and to prevent birds from entering the greenhouse.

[0007] A greenhouse drainage system according to an embodiment of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: the water receiving trough connects the greenhouse and the water receiving hopper simultaneously; the water receiving trough can collect rainwater that seeps into the greenhouse from the top of the greenhouse and flow into the water receiving hopper; the water collection trough connects the greenhouse and the water receiving hopper simultaneously; the dew collection trough can collect dew in the air inside the greenhouse and flow the dew into the water receiving hopper; the collected rainwater and dew can be recycled and reused, and the moisture content in the soil inside the greenhouse can be controlled; a bird-proof net is installed between the water receiving hopper and the greenhouse, and the bird-proof net can effectively prevent birds from entering the greenhouse and damaging crops.

[0008] According to some embodiments of this utility model, a water outlet pipe is provided at the lower end of the water receiving hopper, the water outlet pipe is connected to the water receiving hopper, and a water storage tank is connected to the outside of the water outlet pipe. The water collected in the water receiving hopper flows into the water storage tank through the water outlet pipe, which can improve the utilization rate of water resources.

[0009] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the end faces of the dew collection trough and the water receiving hopper are inclined at an angle, and the end of the dew collection trough located inside the greenhouse is higher than the end of the dew collection trough connected to the water receiving hopper. In this way, the dew collection trough can automatically flow the dew collected in the greenhouse into the water receiving hopper by gravity drive, without the need to add other power pumping devices.

[0010] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the end faces of the water receiving trough and the water receiving bucket are provided with an inclined angle, and the end of the water receiving trough located inside the greenhouse is higher than the end of the water receiving trough connected to the water receiving bucket. In this way, the water receiving bucket can automatically flow the rainwater collected in the greenhouse into the water receiving bucket by gravity drive, without the need to add other power pumping devices.

[0011] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the diameter of the holes in the bird net is 10mm, which is smaller than that of small birds, ensuring that birds cannot enter the greenhouse. The through holes in the bird net can reduce the weight of the bird net, allow ventilation inside the greenhouse, and reduce material costs.

[0012] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the water receiving hopper, the condensate collection trough, the water receiving channel, and the bird-proof net are all made of aluminum. Aluminum products have advantages such as low density, resistance to oxidation and corrosion, and excellent processing performance.

[0013] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the dew collection trough is located directly below the water receiving trough. The dew collection trough is used to collect the dew condensed at the bottom of the water receiving trough. The water receiving trough is made of aluminum. At night, the temperature of the water receiving trough becomes lower than other parts of the greenhouse, making it easier for dew to condense. Furthermore, the cross-section of the water receiving trough is conical. At night, a large amount of dew will condense at the bottom of the water receiving trough and gather at the tip of the cone under the action of gravity. By placing the dew collection trough directly below the tip of the cone, a large amount of dew can be collected.

[0014] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the water receiving hopper is configured as a container with a trapezoidal cross-section. The trapezoidal shape helps water flow downward in the water receiving hopper, thereby avoiding dead zones and accumulation in corners and improving the emptying efficiency of the container.

[0015] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the greenhouse is made of colorless glass, which provides conditions for the photosynthesis of crops.

[0016] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Reference Figure 1 The system includes: a greenhouse 100, a water collection hopper 200, a dew collection trough 300, a water collection channel 400, and a bird net 500. One end of the dew collection trough 300 is connected to the water collection hopper 200, and the other end is connected to the greenhouse 100. The dew collection trough 300 is used to collect dew inside the greenhouse 100 and guide the collected dew into the water collection hopper 200. One end of the water collection trough 400 is connected to the water collection hopper 200, and the other end is connected to the greenhouse 100. The water collection trough 400 is used to collect rainwater seeping into the greenhouse 100 and guide the collected rainwater into the water collection hopper 200. The bird net 500 is installed on the side of the water collection hopper 200 near the greenhouse 100. The bird net 500 is used to cover the dew collection trough 300 and the water collection channel 400 and to prevent birds from entering the greenhouse 100.

[0026] Reference Figure 2 The cross-sectional shapes of the water receiving hopper 200, the condensate collection trough 300, and the water receiving trough 400 are shown.

[0027] The water collection trough 400 connects both the greenhouse 100 and the water collection hopper 200. The water collection trough 400 collects rainwater that seeps into the greenhouse 100 from the top and flows it into the water collection hopper 200. The water collection trough also connects the greenhouse 100 and the water collection hopper 200. The dew collection trough 300 collects dew from the air inside the greenhouse 100 and flows it into the water collection hopper 200. The collected rainwater and dew can be recycled and can control the moisture content of the soil inside the greenhouse 100. A bird net 500 is installed between the water collection hopper 200 and the greenhouse 100. The bird net 500 can effectively prevent birds from entering the greenhouse 100 and damaging crops.

[0028] In some embodiments, a water outlet pipe 210 is provided at the lower end of the water receiving hopper 200. The water outlet pipe 210 is connected to the water receiving hopper 200 and a water storage tank is connected to the outside of the water outlet pipe 210. The water collected in the water receiving hopper 200 flows into the water storage tank through the water outlet pipe 210, which can improve the utilization rate of water resources. It is understood that a water pumping pipe and a water pump can also be installed in the water receiving hopper 200 to pump out the water in the water receiving hopper 200.

[0029] In some embodiments, the end faces of the dew collection trough 300 and the water receiving hopper 200 are provided with an inclined angle. The end of the dew collection trough 300 located inside the greenhouse 100 is higher than the end of the dew collection trough 300 connected to the water receiving hopper 200. In this way, the dew collection trough 300 can automatically flow the dew collected inside the greenhouse 100 into the water receiving hopper 200 by gravity drive, without the need to add other power pumping devices.

[0030] In some embodiments, the end faces of the water receiving trough 400 and the water receiving hopper 200 are provided with an inclined angle. The end of the water receiving trough 400 located inside the greenhouse 100 is higher than the end of the water receiving trough 400 connected to the water receiving hopper 200. In this way, the water receiving hopper 200 can automatically flow the rainwater collected inside the greenhouse 100 into the water receiving hopper 200 by gravity drive, without the need to add other power pumping devices.

[0031] Understandably, the diameter of the holes in the bird net 500 is 10mm, which is smaller than that of most small birds. This ensures that birds cannot enter the greenhouse 100. The holes in the bird net 500 can reduce the weight of the net, allow ventilation inside the greenhouse 100, and reduce material costs. Understandably, the size of the holes can be adjusted according to the size of birds in different regions.

[0032] It should be noted that the water hopper 200, condensation collection trough 300, water collection channel 400, and bird net 500 are all made of aluminum. Aluminum products have advantages such as low density, resistance to oxidation and corrosion, and excellent processing performance. Understandably, since this system is installed outdoors and requires good resistance to oxidation and corrosion, the water hopper 200, condensation collection trough 300, water collection channel 400, and bird net 500 can also be made of titanium alloy or stainless steel.

[0033] It should be considered that the dew collection trough 300 is located directly below the water receiving trough 400. The dew collection trough 300 is used to collect the dew condensed at the bottom of the water receiving trough 400. The water receiving trough 400 is made of aluminum. At night, the temperature of the water receiving trough 400 will become lower than other parts of the greenhouse 100, making it easier for dew to condense. In addition, the cross-section of the water receiving trough 400 is conical. At night, a large amount of dew will condense at the bottom of the water receiving trough 400 and collect at the tip of the cone under the action of gravity. By placing the dew collection trough 300 directly below the tip of the cone of the water receiving trough 400, a large amount of dew can be collected. It is understandable that a cooling device can be installed at the bottom of the water receiving trough 400 to accelerate the condensation of water vapor inside the greenhouse 100.

[0034] It should be emphasized that the water receiving hopper 200 is designed as a container with a trapezoidal cross-section. The trapezoidal shape helps water flow downwards within the water receiving hopper 200, thereby avoiding dead zones and accumulation in corners and improving the container's emptying efficiency.

[0035] In some embodiments, the greenhouse 100 is made of colorless glass, which provides conditions for the photosynthesis of crops. It is understood that the greenhouse 100 can also be made of other transparent and colorless materials to ensure that the crops inside the greenhouse 100 can carry out photosynthesis normally.

[0036] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
