Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve technology, and in particular to a precision irrigation intelligent valve. Background Technology

[0002] Agricultural irrigation is one of the major areas of global water resource use. With global population growth and economic development, the demand for agricultural products is constantly increasing. To meet the growth needs of crops, agricultural water consumption is also increasing accordingly, further amplifying the demand for water resources. Traditional irrigation methods, such as flood irrigation and surface irrigation, result in significant water waste. Due to a lack of scientific irrigation technologies and facilities, water often cannot be accurately supplied to the plant root zone, leading to substantial water evaporation, seepage, or runoff, thus wasting water resources. In some areas, long-term improper irrigation management has led to the gradual accumulation of salt in the soil, resulting in soil salinization. Salinization severely affects crop growth and yield, while also increasing the demand for water resources, as salinized soil requires more water to flush out the salt.

[0003] To address these issues, precision irrigation technology can minimize water waste and overuse through scientific calculation and control of irrigation water volume. For example, sensors monitor soil moisture and weather conditions to accurately calculate plant water requirements, enabling precise water supply; drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation methods reduce water evaporation and seepage; and soil improvement and salt removal measures mitigate the impact of salinization on crop irrigation. These measures help improve irrigation efficiency, reduce pressure on water resources, and achieve sustainable agricultural development. However, currently, irrigation often involves multiple pipes connected to a single main pipe, which can lead to varying water pressures in each pipe. This results in different water flow rates at each irrigation outlet, leading to varying irrigation amounts for each crop. This can result in both under- and over-irrigation, causing uneven crop growth, uncontrollable yields, and impacting agricultural productivity. Therefore, this invention proposes a precision irrigation intelligent valve. Utility Model Content

[0034] Example

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model proposes a precision irrigation intelligent valve, comprising a main body 1, which includes a water tank 11. A main water pipe 12 is connected to the bottom of the water tank 11, and the main water pipe 12 is used to connect high-pressure water. A gate valve 13 is installed on the main water pipe 12, which controls the opening and closing of the main water pipe 12, thereby controlling whether high-pressure water enters the water tank 11. Multiple component water pipes 14 are also provided on the side of the water tank 11, and the high-pressure water is dispersed in the water tank 11 and flows out simultaneously through the multiple component water pipes 14.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the valve includes a pressure-distributing structure 2 for dispersing water pressure, which is disposed within the main body 1. The pressure-distributing structure 2 includes a water-proof cover 21 disposed inside the water tank 11. The water-proof cover 21 is hemispherical and serves to block water flow, preventing water entering the water tank 11 from the main water pipe 12 from directly rushing upwards. Multiple sets of dispersion holes 22 are provided on the water-proof cover 21, allowing water to pass through and enter the water tank 11 while partially buffering the impact force. The pressure-distributing structure 2 also includes a partition plate 23 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water tank 11, dividing the interior of the water tank 11 into upper and lower cavities. Multiple sets of water injection holes 24 are provided on the partition plate 23. When the lower cavity is full, water flows into the upper cavity through the water injection holes 24, while the impact force of the water flow is relatively small. Simultaneously, water flows out from multiple component water pipes 14, and the water pressure in the multiple component water pipes 14 is equal.

[0037] Finally, please see Figure 2-4 The valve also includes a blocking component 3 for controlling water flow discharge, which is mounted on the main body 1. The blocking component 3 includes a mounting block 31 installed on the top of the partition plate 23. One side of the mounting block 31 is flush with the inner wall of the water tank 11, and the mounting block 31 corresponds to the position of the water distribution pipe 14. The mounting block 31 also has a flow hole 32 corresponding to the water distribution pipe 14. Water in the water tank 11 flows through the flow hole 32 before being discharged into the water distribution pipe 14. A blocking plate 33 is slidably connected to the flow hole 32, preventing water from entering the water distribution pipe 14 through the mounting block 31. A movable plate 34 is mounted on the top of the blocking plate 33, and the movable plate 34 moves synchronously with the blocking plate 33. A connecting rod 35 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable plate 34, and the connecting rod 35 drives the movable plate 34 to move synchronously when it moves. A pull plate 36 is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting rod 35. When the pull plate 36 rotates, it can rotate without the connecting rod 35, but simultaneously drives the connecting rod 35 to move up and down. Pulling the pull plate 36 up and down causes the blocking plate 33 to move up and down, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the flow hole 32. Positioning blocks 37, installed on the top of the water tank 11, are provided on both sides of the pull plate 36. The top of the positioning blocks 37 has a groove to hold the pull plate 36 in place, allowing the pull plate 36 to rotate and lock into the positioning blocks 37 when pulled to its highest point, preventing it from falling downwards. Limiting sleeves 38 are also fixedly connected to both sides of the moving plate 34. Limiting rods 39 are slidably connected within the limiting sleeves 38 to limit the movement of the moving plate 34, preventing it from shifting during movement. The top of the limiting rod 39 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water tank 11, and the bottom of the limiting rod 39 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting block 31 via a fixing block, ensuring the position of the limiting rod 39 remains fixed.

[0038] In this embodiment, the pull plate 36 is first lifted upwards by inserting a finger through it. The pull plate 36 then moves the moving plate 34 upwards via the connecting rod 35. The moving plate 34 moves upwards under the limiting action of the limiting sleeve 38 and the limiting rod 39, while the blocking plate 33 moves upwards away from the flow hole 32, leaving the flow hole 32 open. After the pull plate 36 is lifted to its final position, it can be rotated 90 degrees by the connecting rod 35, aligning it with the groove on the top of the positioning block 37. The pull plate 36 is then placed in the groove for limiting its position, preventing it from falling downwards and causing the blocking plate 33 to move downwards. Multiple sets of pull plates 36 can be lifted in this manner, connecting the corresponding water distribution pipe 14 to the main water pipe 12, allowing water to flow out for irrigation. At this point, the gate valve 13 can be opened, and high-pressure water enters the water tank 11 through the main water pipe 12. Simultaneously, the water is blocked by the water-proof cover 21, preventing direct impact on the partition plate 23. Water flows out from the dispersion hole 22 into the lower cavity. Once the lower cavity is full, it flows through the water injection hole 24 into the upper cavity above the partition plate 23. Water can then flow through the flow hole 32 and into the distribution pipe 14 for discharge. The water pressure in multiple distribution pipes 14 is equal, achieving synchronous and equal irrigation for different plants. Sensors monitor soil moisture and weather conditions, accurately calculating the water requirements of plants, achieving precise water supply, and improving agricultural production efficiency.

[0039] The above specific embodiments are merely optional embodiments of this utility model. Based on the technical solution of this utility model and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
