Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orchid nutrient solution drip irrigation technology, and in particular to an auxiliary drip irrigation device for orchid nutrient solution. Background Technology

[0002] An auxiliary drip irrigation device for orchid nutrient solution is a device used to accurately and efficiently supply nutrient solution to orchids, providing a suitable nutrient environment for orchid growth and promoting healthy growth. It is usually equipped with a storage tank to store the orchid nutrient solution and provide power for its delivery. Depending on the scale and needs of the drip irrigation system, a water pump is also required, with appropriate power and flow rate selected. Finally, drippers are also needed. Generally, the flow rate of the drippers is relatively small, dripping the nutrient solution slowly and evenly into the soil around the orchid roots to avoid nutrient solution loss and waste.

[0003] When preparing nutrient solution, the traditional method involves the operator holding a dropper and dripping it into the preparation bottle. If the bottle opening is small and the dropper is not aligned with the opening, the solution will drip outside the bottle, resulting in waste. When there are too many droppers, the operator needs to find a stand to fix them after use. However, traditional stands are placed very densely, making it difficult for the operator to see the drip label, which is very troublesome in experiments. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a micro-drip irrigation device for nutrient solution to solve the above problems.

[0004] The existing patent (publication number: CN219363247U) describes a workbench and four load-bearing columns. The four load-bearing columns are respectively installed on the lower wall of the workbench, and a guide structure is installed on the upper wall of the workbench. A drip irrigation structure is fitted on the outer wall of the guide structure. The guide structure includes: a guide threaded rod, a spring support plate, an auxiliary bearing, a bearing limiting plate, and a limiting nut. This utility model uses the bearing limiting plate to drive the auxiliary bearing to move along the guide threaded rod to align the dropper with the mouth of the drip irrigation preparation bottle, achieving precise drip irrigation. The return spring makes the drip irrigation process more stable. This solves the problem that when preparing nutrient solution, the traditional operation method requires the operator to hold the dropper and drip it into the drip irrigation preparation bottle. If the mouth of the drip irrigation preparation bottle is small and the dropper is not aligned with the mouth, the medicine will drip outside the bottle, resulting in medicine waste.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, existing patents offer solutions. However, current methods for supplementing orchid nutrient solution through drip irrigation rely on manual application. While this method can assist in the drip irrigation of orchid nutrient solution, it cannot pre-treat the solution before application. Without pre-treatment, the drip irrigation effect may be affected, leading to waste of nutrient solution. Furthermore, it is impossible to control the amount of nutrient solution applied to the orchid, making it impractical.

[0006] Therefore, an auxiliary drip irrigation device for orchid nutrient solution is proposed. Utility Model Content

Although this method can assist in drip irrigation of orchid nutrient solution, it is impossible to pre-treat the nutrient solution before drip irrigation. If it is not pre-treated, it may affect the drip irrigation effect of the orchid, waste the nutrient solution, and make it impossible to control the amount of orchid dripped, thus lacking practicality.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an auxiliary drip irrigation device for orchid nutrient solution, comprising a base: a drip irrigation mechanism is fixedly connected to the top of the base, and a flow limiting mechanism is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base;

[0027] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0028] An auxiliary drip irrigation device for orchid nutrient solution includes a base 3: a drip irrigation mechanism 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 3, and a flow limiting mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 3.

[0029] The drip irrigation mechanism 1 includes a mounting cover 11, a motor 12, a fixed shaft 14, a stirring blade 15, a liquid level sensor 16, an alarm 17, a PLC controller 18, and a mounting tank 19. The mounting tank 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 3. The PLC controller 18 and the alarm 17 are both fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting tank 19. The liquid level sensor 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting tank 19. The mounting cover 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting tank 19. The motor 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting cover 11. The fixed shaft 14 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 12. The stirring blade 15 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the fixed shaft 14.

[0030] In this embodiment: The base 3 allows for the installation of the mounting tank 19 upwards and the water pump 21 downwards. The mounting cover 11 seals the mounting tank 19, preventing the nutrient solution from evaporating, becoming contaminated, or deteriorating due to excessive contact with air. The motor 12 drives the fixed shaft 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring blade 15 to rotate, thus agitating the nutrient solution. The liquid level sensor 16 and the alarm 17 work together to monitor the nutrient solution level inside the mounting tank 19 in real time. When the level falls below a set value, the alarm sounds, reminding the user to add nutrient solution promptly. The mounting tank 19 stores the nutrient solution. The PLC controller 18, equipped with a display, controls the water pump 21 and the motor 12, and is interconnected with the liquid level sensor 16 and the alarm 17, allowing for liquid level display and timely replenishment of nutrient solution.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the flow limiting mechanism 2 includes a water pump 21, two sets of mounting pipes 22 and a dripper 28. The water pump 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting tank 19. The two sets of mounting pipes 22 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the water pump 21, respectively. One end of one set of mounting pipes 22 passes through and extends to the inner wall of the mounting tank 19. The dripper 28 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the other set of mounting pipes 22.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the base 3 is rotatably connected to three sets of support rods 23, and the bottom of each of the three sets of support rods 23 is fixedly connected to a support seat 24.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the support base 24 is fixedly connected to an anti-slip pad 25, and the surfaces of the three sets of support rods 23 are all snapped with buckles.

[0034] In this embodiment: by setting a water pump 21, the nutrient solution can be quantitatively extracted and delivered according to the orchid's growth season. By setting two sets of installation pipes 22, the nutrient solution inside the installation tank 19 can be delivered to the water pump 21, and then the nutrient solution can be delivered to the dripper 28 for drip irrigation. The dripper 28 can be used to drip irrigate the orchid. The support rod 23 can support the installation tank 19. The support base 24 can be used to place the device in the required position. The anti-slip pad 25 can improve the stability of the support base 24. The height of the support rod 23 can be adjusted by the buckle.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, each of the three sets of buckles is rotatably connected to a connecting rod 26 on one side facing each other, and one end of the connecting rod 26 is rotatably connected to a limiting seat 27.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the limiting seat 27 is installed directly below the dropper 28, and the liquid inlet pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting cover 11.

[0037] In this embodiment: the support rod 23 and the limiting seat 27 can be connected by the connecting rod 26, the orchid plate can be placed by the limiting seat 27, and the nutrient solution can be poured into the installation tank 19 by the liquid inlet pipe 13.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the top of the mounting cover 11 is fixedly connected to the limit frame 4, and the motor 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limit frame 4.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, an installation block is fixedly connected to the outer side of the installation bucket 19, and a threaded rod is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the installation block. A threaded hole is opened at the top of the base 3, and the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded hole.

[0040] In this embodiment: the stability of the motor 12 can be improved by setting the limiting frame 4, and the mounting barrel 19 can be installed on the top of the base 3 by setting the threaded rod.

[0041] Working principle: In use, the user first pours the nutrient solution into the installation tank 19 through the inlet pipe 13. After that, the user places the orchid pot on top of the limiting seat 27. Then, the user can turn on the power and start the motor 12 to drive the fixed shaft 14 to rotate. The fixed shaft 14 drives the stirring blade 15 to rotate. At this time, the nutrient solution is stirred by the stirring blade 15. After completion, since the stirring tank is equipped with a liquid level sensor 16, the liquid level of the nutrient solution in the installation tank 19 can be monitored in real time. When the liquid level is lower than the set value, the alarm can sound an alarm to remind the user to add nutrient solution in time. Then, the user can turn on the power and start the water pump 21. The water pump 21 draws out the nutrient solution in the installation tank 19 and delivers it to the dripper 28 for drip irrigation.

[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
