[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] Reference Figure 1 This embodiment of an agricultural Internet of Things (IoT) control device includes: a planting tray 1 mounted on a support 2, a detection mechanism on the outer edge of the planting tray 1, and an irrigation mechanism mounted on the upper side of the planting tray 1 via a support plate 3. The detection mechanism includes multiple drive lifting components 5 mounted on the outer edge of the planting tray 1, a sensor plate 6 driven by the drive lifting components 5, and the drive components can drive the sensor plate 6 to move up and down in the vertical direction. The irrigation mechanism includes multiple spray pipes 9 mounted on the support 2, and a drive rotation component 8 that drives the spray pipes 9 to rotate, and the drive rotation component 8 can drive the spray pipes 9 to rotate along the axis of the spray pipes 9.
[0030] Reference Figure 2 The drive assembly is disposed inside the waterproof housing 4. The waterproof housing 4 is connected to the outer edge of the tray. A receiving groove 401 is formed on the upper part of the waterproof housing 4. A sliding cover 402 is provided at the upper end of the waterproof housing. An extension wall 403 is formed in the sliding cover 402. The extension wall 403 is accommodated in the receiving groove 401 and slides up and down in the receiving groove 401.
[0031] The depth of the receiving groove 401 is consistent with the length of the elongation ratio.
[0032] The drive assembly is housed within a waterproof housing 4, which is securely connected to the outer edge of the tray. A receiving groove 401 of a specific depth is formed on the upper part of the waterproof housing 4. A sliding cover 402 is provided at the upper end of the waterproof housing 4. The wall extending from the sliding cover 402 is precisely accommodated within the receiving groove 401 and can slide smoothly up and down within the receiving groove 401. The depth of the receiving groove 401 is precisely matched with the length of the extending wall 403. This design ensures that the sliding cover 402 is completely accommodated within the waterproof housing 4 at its lowest point.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 The sensor plate 6 includes a light sensor plate 601 and a temperature and humidity sensor plate 602. The light sensor plate 601 is disposed on the top of the sliding cover 402, and the temperature and humidity sensor plate 602 is disposed on the side wall of the sliding cover 402 facing the planting tray 1.
[0034] The sensor plate 6 is the core component of the detection mechanism. The light sensor plate 601 is set at the top of the sliding cover 402. This position allows it to receive light directly to the maximum extent, thereby accurately detecting the light intensity. Since there are multiple sensors in the detection mechanism, the overall light intensity can be detected by calculating the average value. The temperature and humidity sensor plate 602 is set on the side wall of the sliding cover 402 facing the planting tray 1. This position can be close to the actual space for crop growth, effectively and accurately monitoring the temperature and humidity of the area.
[0035] Reference Figure 3 The drive lifting assembly 5 includes a top rod 501 disposed inside the waterproof housing 4 and connected to the sliding cover 402, a screw 502 disposed parallel to the top rod 501, and a sleeve rod 503 connecting the top rod 501 and the screw 502. The sleeve rod 503 has a connecting hole fixedly connected to the top rod 501 and a threaded hole threadedly connected to the screw 502. The screw 502 is connected to a knob 504.
[0036] The lifting assembly 5 is housed within the waterproof casing 4. A top rod 501 is fixedly connected to a sliding cover 402, which pushes the sliding cover 402 and its sensor plate 6 up and down. A screw 502, arranged parallel to the top rod 501, is connected to the top rod 501 via a sleeve rod 503. Rotating the knob 504 rotates the screw 502. Due to the threaded connection between the sleeve rod 503 and the screw 502, the rotation of the screw 502 is converted into linear motion of the sleeve rod 503, which in turn pushes the sliding cover 402 and the sensor plate 6 up and down smoothly in the vertical direction via the top rod 501. Operators can adjust the height of the sensor plate 6 according to the environmental monitoring needs of different crop growth stages to obtain environmental data at different levels, achieving real-time and accurate monitoring of crop growth environment values.
[0037] Reference Figure 4Spray nozzles 901 are formed on the spray pipe 9 and are arranged in an array along the axial direction of the spray pipe 9.
[0038] Reference Figure 4 The drive rotation assembly 8 includes driven gears 801 disposed at both ends of the spray pipe 9, and a rack 802 meshing with the driven gears 801. The axis of the spray pipe 9 is perpendicular to the rack 802. A linkage rod 803 is fixedly connected to the end of the rack 802. A cam 805 is connected to the linkage rod 803. One end of the linkage rod 803 connected to the cam 805 forms a sliding end 804. A connecting sliding wall 806 is formed on the surface of the cam 805. The sliding end 804 is fitted into the connecting sliding wall 806. A drive motor 807 is connected to the cam 805.
[0039] Reference Figure 5 The support plate 3 forms a protective shell 7 for accommodating the rack 802. The protective shell 7 is provided with a slide rail 701 for the rack 802 to slide, and the linkage rod 803 is placed in the slide rail 701.
[0040] The drive rotation assembly 8 drives the sprinkler pipe 9 to rotate along its own axis, reciprocating within a certain range of rotation angles to achieve a wide range of sprinkler irrigation. Driven gears 801 are installed at both ends of the sprinkler pipe 9, and these driven gears 801 mesh with a rack 802. A linkage rod 803 is fixedly connected to the end of the rack 802. The end of the linkage rod 803 connected to the cam 805 is specially designed as a sliding end 804, while the surface of the cam 805 has a connecting sliding wall 806. The sliding end 804 fits tightly within the connecting sliding wall 806 and will not fall off. A protective housing 7 is provided on the support plate 3 to accommodate the rack 802. A slide rail 701 is provided inside the protective housing 7 for the rack 802 to slide, and the linkage rod 803 is also placed within the slide rail 701. This serves to limit the movement of the linkage rod 803. When the drive motor 807 connected to the cam 805 is started, the motor drives the cam 805 to rotate. As the cam 805 rotates, the connecting sliding wall 806 on its surface drives the sliding end 804 of the linkage rod 803 to reciprocate. The linkage rod 803 then drives the rack 802 to reciprocate linearly. Due to the meshing relationship between the rack 802 and the driven gear 801, the reciprocating motion of the rack 802 is converted into the rotational motion of the driven gear 801, ultimately realizing the reciprocating rotation of the sprinkler pipe 9 around its own axis at a certain angle. Through this driving method, the sprinkler pipe 9 can rotate continuously within a certain angle range, enabling the sprinkler nozzle 901 to spray and irrigate the crops on the planting tray 1, effectively expanding the irrigation range.
[0041] Reference Figure 1The spray pipe 9 is connected to a water storage tank 10 via a water supply pipe. The water storage tank 10 is equipped with a water inlet 1001 and a control panel 1002. A water pump 1003 is installed on the water supply pipe.
[0042] Reference Figure 1 The planting tray 1 has multiple overflow holes 101 on its side wall.
[0043] The sprinkler pipe 9 is connected to the water storage tank 10 via a water supply pipe. The water storage tank 10 is equipped with a water inlet 1001 for easy water replenishment and a control panel 1002 for monitoring and controlling the operation of the irrigation equipment. The water pump 1003 installed on the water supply pipe provides sufficient water pressure to ensure that the water in the sprinkler pipe 9 can be sprayed out from the sprinkler nozzle 901 at a suitable pressure, thereby ensuring normal and effective spraying. In addition, multiple overflow holes 101 are provided on the side wall of the planting tray 1. When the irrigation water is excessive, the excess water can be discharged in time through the overflow holes 101 to avoid water accumulation and adverse effects on crop growth, thus ensuring a suitable growing environment for crops.
[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
