[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] This utility model provides an automated irrigation system for vegetable cultivation. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1-6The system includes a long guide rail, which is composed of several short guide rails 1 spliced together. Both ends of the short guide rails 1 are welded with mating blocks 4. The mating blocks 4 between two adjacent short guide rails 1 are fixed with bolts. A support base 11 is slidably connected to the long guide rail. A water spray main pipe 13 is installed on the top of the support base 11. Several nozzles are installed on the bottom of the water spray main pipe 13. The water inlet of the water spray main pipe 13 is connected to the output end of the water pump 14 through a long conduit 15. The input end of the water pump 14 is connected to a water inlet pipe. The end of the water inlet pipe is inserted into the pond. The long conduit 15 is a flexible hose and is long enough to accommodate the movement of the water spray main pipe 13. A drive mechanism is installed on the long guide rail. Driven by the drive mechanism, the support base 11 slides back and forth on the long guide rail.
[0030] A U-shaped fixing block 3 is welded to the bottom of the short guide rail 1. An installation block 21 is inserted into the inner wall of the U-shaped fixing block 3. Internal threaded holes are opened at corresponding positions of the U-shaped fixing block 3 and the installation block 21. A support column 2 is welded to the bottom of the installation block 21.
[0031] The support base 11 has an integral pipe mounting block 12 on its upper part. The pipe mounting block 12 has a through hole for the water spray pipe 13 to pass through, and the water spray pipe 13 is welded to the pipe mounting block 12 after passing through the through hole.
[0032] A T-shaped groove is provided on the short guide rail 1, and the inner wall of the T-shaped groove is slidably connected to the bottom end of the support base 11.
[0033] The drive mechanism includes a first bracket 5 welded to the left short guide rail 1. A rotating shaft 61 is rotatably connected to the first bracket 5 via a bearing. One end of the rotating shaft 61 is connected to the output shaft of a servo motor 8 via a coupling. The servo motor 8 is fixedly mounted on the first bracket 5. A winding drum 6 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 61. A steel wire rope 7 is wound on the winding drum 6. The steel wire rope 7 is driven by a roller 9. The two ends of the roller 9 are rotatably connected to a second bracket 10 via bearings. The second bracket 10 is welded to the right short guide rail 1. A through hole 111 is provided on the support base 11 for the steel wire rope 7 to pass through. The two ends of the steel wire rope 7 are fixedly connected to the support base 11.
[0034] In practical use, the bottom of the support column 2 is inserted into the soil of the greenhouse, and the servo motor 8 and water pump 14 are started. The water pump 14 draws water into the main sprinkler pipe 13 and then sprays it out through the nozzle. The servo motor 8 drives the reel 6 to rotate, so that the reel 6 releases one end of the wire rope 7 and winds up the other end of the wire rope 7, thereby driving the support base 11 to move on the long guide rail. By changing the rotation direction of the servo motor 8, the support base 11 and the main sprinkler pipe 13 can be driven to move back and forth on the long guide rail, thereby realizing all-round irrigation in the greenhouse.
