Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drip irrigation equipment technology, specifically an adjustable intelligent drip irrigation device. Background Technology
[0002] Adjustable intelligent drip irrigation equipment is a modern agricultural irrigation system that integrates sensors, controllers, and automation systems to achieve precise control and management of farmland irrigation. Current drip irrigation equipment typically irrigates the entire area, but different plants in some farmlands require different irrigation frequencies. To address this, an adjustable intelligent drip irrigation system is proposed that can achieve point-to-point drip irrigation, enabling intelligent and precise drip irrigation based on the soil's moisture content.
[0003] In the prior art, Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN222815017U discloses an adjustable intelligent drip irrigation device. Although this prior art uses a control module to drive a motor to rotate the water outlet of the outer casing to the corresponding position, so that the water outlet is aligned with the threaded pipe on the side of the land to be irrigated, thus achieving directional drip irrigation, in actual use, the water outlet of the drip irrigation component in this prior art remains open during non-irrigation periods. This causes the exposed water outlet to be easily blocked by soil, impurities, or small insects during irrigation breaks. The obstruction of some water outlet channels leads to uneven water distribution in the field, affecting the overall uniformity of crop growth. Moreover, cleaning the blocked holes often requires stopping the machine for disassembly, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Frequent maintenance also accelerates the aging of parts and shortens the overall service life of the system. In view of this, we propose an adjustable intelligent drip irrigation device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an adjustable intelligent drip irrigation device, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. This adjustable intelligent drip irrigation device, through the cooperation of structures such as movable sleeves, through grooves, vertical plates, and horizontal plates, allows the through grooves of the movable sleeve on the target side to align with the water outlet when targeted irrigation is needed, so that water flows smoothly. The movable sleeve on the non-irrigated side completely blocks its corresponding water outlet, thereby effectively preventing soil particles, impurities, insects, etc. from entering the water outlet during irrigation intervals. This avoids problems such as uneven flow and irrigation failure caused by blockage, reduces maintenance frequency and cost, and ensures long-term stable operation of the system.
[0015] 2. This adjustable intelligent drip irrigation device, through the cooperation of the handle, drive rod, bevel gear, transmission rod and transmission gear, allows the user to lift and rotate the handle with one hand. The transmission gear and the toothed groove on the horizontal plate control the displacement of the movable sleeves on both sides, quickly switching the irrigation side. At the same time, the cooperation of the plug rod, slot, return spring and other structures allows the handle to automatically lock after adjustment, effectively preventing the movable sleeves from shifting due to accidental contact or vibration, ensuring the stability of the irrigation state. The design of the indicator arrow further realizes the intuitiveness and precision of adjustment. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: an adjustable intelligent drip irrigation device, including a water tank 1 for storing water, an installation pipe 2 for conveying water flow connected to the outside of the water tank 1, and a pump body and a control motor matched on the installation pipe 2. Two connecting pipes 4 are provided on the outside of the installation pipe 2 for connection, and the two connecting pipes 4 are connected by flanges. The inner connecting pipe 4 is fixedly installed inside the installation pipe 2. A water-passing pipe 3 for conveying water flow is rotatably sleeved inside the connecting pipe 4. The water-passing pipe 3 rotatably extends into the interior of the installation pipe 2, and the water-passing pipe 3 and the control motor are connected by bevel gears. The specific assembly method is the same as the prior art with publication number CN222815017U, which is a well-known technical means, and therefore will not be described in detail here. The surface of the water-passing pipe 3... A water channel 5 is provided, and a threaded pipe 6 for installation is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting pipe 4 and communicates with the interior. When the water channel 5 and the threaded pipe 6 on one side are connected, water can be transported to the interior of the threaded pipe 6 by means of the pump body on the installation pipe 2. A drip irrigation pipe 7 for drip irrigation is threaded on the outside of the threaded pipe 6. A water outlet hole 8 is provided on the surface of the drip irrigation pipe 7. A movable sleeve 9 for protection is movably fitted on the outside of the drip irrigation pipe 7. A through groove 10 is provided on the surface of the movable sleeve 9. Drip irrigation can be carried out by moving the movable sleeve 9 so that the through groove 10 communicates with the water outlet hole 8. If the through groove 10 does not communicate with the water outlet hole 8, the movable sleeve 9 is in a state of blocking the water outlet hole 8, thereby preventing external soil and other impurities from entering the interior of the water outlet hole 8. A connecting component is provided on the surface of the movable sleeve 9, and a driving component is provided on the outside of the connecting pipe 4.
[0025] In the above embodiments, a fork-shaped fastener can also be matched and set on the outside of the movable sleeve 9, and a humidity sensor (not shown in the figure) can be set on the fork-shaped fastener. For details, please refer to the prior art with announcement number CN222815017U, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0026] The connecting assembly includes a vertical plate 11 for connection, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable sleeve 9. The upper ends of the two vertical plates 11, which are arranged opposite to each other, are fixedly connected to a horizontal plate 12 for connection. The upper surface of the horizontal plate 12 is provided with a toothed groove 13. When the horizontal plate 12 moves to the left, it will drive the movable sleeves 9 on both sides to move to the same side, so that the through groove 10 on one side is connected to the water outlet 8, while the through groove 10 on the other side and the water outlet 8 are misaligned.
[0027] The drive assembly includes a fixed box 14, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting pipe 4. The fixed box 14 is hollow inside. A transmission rod 15 for rotation is rotatably connected inside the fixed box 14. Several transmission gears 16 for rotation are fixedly connected to the outside of the transmission rod 15. The number of transmission gears 16 matches the number of horizontal plates 12. The transmission gears 16 mesh with the horizontal plates 12 through tooth grooves 13. The rotation of the transmission rod 15 can drive the rotation of several transmission gears 16, and the rotation of the transmission gears 16 can drive the movement of the horizontal plates 12.
[0028] The top wall of the fixed box 14 is rotatably connected to a drive rod 17 for rotation. The lower end of the drive rod 17 and the outside of the transmission rod 15 are both fixedly fitted with bevel gears 18 for transmission. The two bevel gears 18 are meshed and connected. The upper end of the drive rod 17 rotatably extends through the upper surface of the fixed box 14. A locking component is provided on the outside of the upper end of the drive rod 17. The rotation of the drive rod 17 and the transmission of the two bevel gears 18 can drive the rotation of the transmission rod 15.
[0029] The locking assembly includes a grip 19 for easy holding by the user. The grip 19 has a sliding chamber 20 for sliding. A drive rod 17 extends through the sliding chamber 20. One end of the drive rod 17 inside the sliding chamber 20 is fixedly connected to a sliding plate 21 for sliding. The sliding plate 21 is slidably connected inside the sliding chamber 20. By holding the grip 19, the drive rod 17 can be rotated by the cooperation of the sliding chamber 20 and the sliding plate 21. The grip 19 can also slide outside the drive rod 17.
[0030] A reset spring 22 for resetting the sliding plate 21 is fixedly connected between the lower surface of the sliding plate 21 and the bottom wall of the sliding chamber 20. The reset spring 22 is movably sleeved on the outside of the drive rod 17.
[0031] The lower end of the handle 19 is fixedly connected to a locking rod 24. The upper surface of the fixed box 14 has a slot 23 that is compatible with the rod 24. By gripping the handle 19 and pulling it upward, the rod 24 can be disengaged from the slot 23, and the return spring 22 will deform. The operator can then use the handle 19 to rotate the drive rod 17. Conversely, if the rod 24 is inside the slot 23, the stability of the handle 19 can be ensured, and it can be prevented from rotating on its own.
[0032] The upper surface of the handle 19 is provided with an indicator arrow 25. The indicator arrow 25 makes it convenient for the staff to control the rotation angle of the handle 19 so that the side pointed to by the pointer is in a state where the through groove 10 and the water outlet 8 are connected.
[0033] Working principle:
[0034] When the adjustable intelligent drip irrigation equipment is in use, the external controller and the control motor work together to make the water pipe 3 rotate and the water channel 5 face the side that needs drip irrigation. Then, when the pump is started, the water inside the water tank 1 can enter the drip irrigation pipe 7 through the installation pipe 2, the water pipe 3, and the threaded pipe 6, and flow out from the water outlet 8 and the inner wall of the channel 10.
[0035] In addition, the staff can disengage the insertion rod 24 from the inside of the slot 23 by holding the handle 19 and pulling it upwards, and the return spring 22 will deform. The staff can then use the handle 19 to rotate the drive rod 17. Conversely, if the insertion rod 24 is inside the slot 23, the stability of the handle 19 can be ensured, and it can be prevented from rotating on its own.
[0036] Then, the rotation of the drive rod 17 and the transmission of the two bevel gears 18 can drive the rotation of the transmission rod 15. The rotation of the transmission rod 15 can drive the rotation of several transmission gears 16. The rotation of the transmission gears 16 can drive the movement of the horizontal plate 12. When the horizontal plate 12 moves to the left, it will drive the movable sleeves 9 on both sides to move to the same side, so that the through groove 10 on one side is connected to the water outlet 8, while the through groove 10 on the other side and the water outlet 8 are misaligned, thereby realizing that the water outlet 8 on the non-irrigation side can be in a protected state.
[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
