Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent irrigation canal water flow control device, and more specifically, to an intelligent irrigation canal water flow control device. Background Technology
[0002] Irrigation of farmland often utilizes river water, which is introduced into the farmland through "ditches" dug in the ground. Irrigation canals are artificial waterways, which are divided into main canals and branch canals. Main canals and branch canals are generally constructed of stone or cement. Irrigation of farmland can be achieved through irrigation canals. Gates are often installed inside the canals to facilitate the control of irrigation water flow. The motors of the gates are connected to the control device via wireless signals, which facilitates online control of irrigation water flow.
[0003] However, existing smart irrigation canal flow control devices use a gate to cut off the canal and a control device to open and close a lifting gate. This method is difficult to adjust different flow rates, limiting its practical application. Furthermore, the water flow impact at the gate is too large, causing soil erosion in the irrigated area, resulting in poor practical application.
[0004] Among its existing technology patents, such as the authorized announcement number CN118326918A, this invention discloses a smart irrigation canal water flow control device, including an adjustable gate, a manifold, a first arc-shaped channel, a second arc-shaped channel, and a conveying channel. The adjustable gate is configured with an L-shaped structure, and a manifold is provided on one side of the adjustable gate. The first arc-shaped channel is opened in the adjustable gate, with one end connected to the conveying channel and the other end extending out of the upper side of the adjustable gate. A conveying channel is opened below the first arc-shaped channel in the adjustable gate, with one end connected to the manifold and the other end extending out of the side of the adjustable gate. The conveying channel is horizontally arranged. The advantage is that by providing a first arc-shaped channel, a second arc-shaped channel, and a conveying channel in the adjustable gate, the appropriate channel can be selected to convey water according to actual irrigation needs, thereby controlling different flow rates and making the gate more applicable.
[0005] In the aforementioned patent, an arc-shaped channel is set at the adjustable gate. However, the arc-shaped channel is narrow during use, making it easy to get clogged. Furthermore, the structure is complex, the cost is high, and maintenance is inconvenient. Utility Model Content

A rotating main shaft 3 is provided on the inner surface of the protruding seat 2. An adjustable gate 4 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating main shaft 3. The lower surface of the adjustable gate 4 is attached to the lower inner surface of the irrigation canal body 1, and the left and right sides of the outer end of the adjustable gate 4 are tightly attached to the inner surface of the irrigation canal body 1. Support seats 5 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the irrigation canal body 1, and the support seats 5 are distributed and fixed on the left and right outer surfaces of the irrigation canal body 1. The inner surface of the worm gear 6 is provided with a worm wheel 7 fixedly connected to the outer end surface of the rotating main shaft 3. The outer surface of the support base 5 is fixedly connected to a motor 8. The outer surface of the drive shaft of the motor 8 is fixedly connected to a first gear 9. The outer surface of one side of the worm gear 6 is fixedly connected to a second gear 10. The outer surface of the other end of the worm gear 6 is fixedly connected to a handle 11. This case adopts a flip-type adjustable gate structure. Through the external manual-automatic drive component, the flip angle of the adjustable gate can be adjusted, the opening space angle can be adjusted, and the water flow rate can be adjusted. The adjustment is flexible and convenient. The adjustable gate structure is simple and low in cost.
[0027] The adjustable gate 4 adopts a square adjustable gate structure. The lower surface of the adjustable gate 4 is provided with an inclined cut. The inclined cut is attached to the inner surface of the lower end of the irrigation channel body 1. It can be flatly attached to the inner surface of the irrigation channel body 1, which can fit and seal, and provide stable support.
[0028] The worm 6 is located below the worm wheel 7, and the worm 6 and the worm wheel 7 are meshed and connected to each other, which facilitates meshing and driving, forming a worm wheel and worm structure;
[0029] The handle 11 adopts a circular handle structure, and its handle 11 is welded and fixed to one side of the outer surface of the worm gear 6;
[0030] The motor 8 is a forward and reverse motor, and the adjustable gate 4 is made of stainless steel. The outer surface of the adjustable gate 4 is coated with carbon steel with epoxy resin and a rubber soft sealing layer to increase the corrosion resistance and sealing performance of the adjustable gate 4.
[0031] The first gear 9 meshes with the outer surface of the second gear 10. The second gear 10 meshes with the first gear 9, which facilitates gear meshing transmission and makes it easier for the motor 8 to drive the worm 7 to rotate.
[0032] In use, a rotating main shaft 3 is provided on the inner surface of the protruding seat 2, and an adjustable gate 4 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating main shaft 3. The lower surface of the adjustable gate 4 is attached to the lower inner surface of the irrigation channel body 1. A worm 6 is provided on the inner surface of the support seat 5, and a worm wheel 7 is fixedly connected to the outer end surface of the rotating main shaft 3. A motor 8 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the support seat 5, and a first gear 9 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the drive shaft of the motor 8. A second gear 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the worm 6. The worm 6 is located below the worm wheel 7, and the worm 6 and the worm wheel 7 are meshed with each other for easy meshing and driving, forming a worm gear structure. The first gear 9 meshes with the outer surface of the second gear 10, and the second gear 10 and the first gear... The gears 9 mesh with each other, facilitating gear transmission. During operation, the motor 8 drives the first gear 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear 9 to mesh with the second gear 10, thus rotating the worm 7. Simultaneously, the worm 7 drives the worm wheel 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating main shaft 3 to rotate. This causes the adjustable gate 4 to flip upwards, allowing the opening angle to be adjusted. The larger the angle, the larger the water flow; conversely, the smaller the angle, the smaller the water flow rate. The flow rate is adjustable, making it convenient and quick to use. The structure is simple and the cost is low. Furthermore, the handle 11 adopts a circular handle structure, which is welded and fixed to one side of the outer surface of the worm wheel 6. In the absence of power, the handle 11 can be manually rotated, which also drives the worm 8 to rotate, and the adjustable gate 4 can be manually operated to flip and adjust the flow rate. This makes it convenient to use.
