Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural facilities technology, specifically a mobile roof irrigation structure for vegetable greenhouses. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of facility agriculture, intelligent irrigation technology for vegetable greenhouses has received increasing attention. Traditional greenhouse irrigation mostly uses fixed sprinklers or manually moved sprinkler systems, which suffers from problems such as numerous irrigation blind spots and low water resource utilization. Especially for irrigation of the greenhouse roof area, existing technologies often use fixed sprinkler pipes arranged horizontally along the roof, with a fixed spray angle, making it difficult to achieve uniform coverage and unable to flexibly adjust the irrigation range according to the different growth needs of crops.
[0003] While existing mobile irrigation devices can partially solve the coverage problem, their structural design still has significant flaws. For example, some track-mounted mobile sprinkler systems use a simple sliding fit between pulleys and guide rails, which is prone to shifting and jamming due to frictional resistance during long-term operation. In other electrically driven systems, the transmission mechanism and irrigation pipeline lack coordinated design, and the water delivery hose is prone to tangling or stretching deformation during movement, affecting the stability of water supply. In addition, traditional sprinklers mostly use a unidirectional spray mode, resulting in poor atomization and difficulty in adapting to the irrigation needs of crops at different heights inside the greenhouse. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a mobile roof irrigation structure for vegetable greenhouses, which can effectively solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a mobile greenhouse roof irrigation structure, including a support frame, the support frame including vertical support rods and an arc top, a crossbeam between the vertical support rods, two transverse tracks symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the crossbeam, and an irrigation mechanism in the transverse tracks;
[0006] The bottom surface of the transverse track is provided with a rack, and track grooves are opened on both sides of the transverse track. The irrigation mechanism is a U-shaped part. Multiple sets of rollers are provided on the inner side of the top of the irrigation mechanism. The multiple sets of rollers are located in two track grooves respectively. The irrigation mechanism is also provided with a gear, which is located directly below the rack and meshes with the rack. A rotating nozzle is provided at the bottom of the irrigation mechanism.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, a right-angle connector is fixed at the bottom of the irrigation mechanism, a rotating nozzle is movably mounted at the lower end of the right-angle connector, and a water delivery hose is connected to the upper interface of the right-angle connector.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the rotating nozzle is provided with a plurality of downwardly inclined and circumferentially distributed nozzles.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the support frame is provided with a main water pipe that runs along the end of the greenhouse, and the water delivery hose passes through a through hole opened on the crossbeam and is connected to the main water pipe.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the irrigation mechanism includes multiple sets of rollers, with one side comprising two sets of rollers, one upper and one lower, which respectively contact the top and bottom surfaces of the track groove.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the gear is fixed by a fixed shaft, one end of which extends out of one side of the irrigation mechanism and is connected to the drive motor via a shaft.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a groove is provided on the top surface of the crossbeam, a slider is provided in the groove, a support rod is fixed on the slider, and the water supply hose passes through the sleeve at the end of the support rod.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a guide rod is provided in the groove, the guide rod passes through the slider, and a spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the guide rod;
[0014] The spring is mounted on the guide rod on the side of the slider near the through hole.
[0015] The mobile roof irrigation structure for vegetable greenhouses provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects by adopting the above structure:
[0016] (1) By meshing the transverse track with the gear rack, and combined with the limiting clamping of the track groove by the upper and lower rollers on both sides of the irrigation mechanism, the irrigation mechanism can move smoothly and with high precision along the roof, effectively avoiding the jamming problem caused by friction offset of the traditional slide rail structure, significantly reducing the irrigation blind area, and improving the water uniformity of the roof area.
[0017] (2) The water delivery hose is connected to the sleeve through the spring buffer slider in the groove. When the irrigation mechanism moves, the bending arc and extension length of the hose are automatically adjusted to reduce the stress concentration and bending fatigue caused by repeated stretching of the hose, ensure the continuous and stable water flow, and extend the service life of the pipeline.
[0018] (3) The rotating nozzle, combined with the circumferentially distributed inclined nozzle design, forms a rotating diffusion water curtain during the spraying process. This can not only expand the coverage of single-point spraying, but also drive the nozzle to rotate through the reaction force of water flow, adapting to the height requirements of different crops and improving water resource utilization.

[0035] The spring 17 is mounted on the guide rod 16 on the side of the slider 18 near the through hole 13.
[0036] In the above scheme, two transverse rails 4 made of C-shaped steel are symmetrically fixed to the bottom of the crossbeam 3 of the support 1. The openings of the rail grooves 7 face both sides, and the rack 8 is fixed to the bottom surface of the rails 4. The irrigation mechanism 5 adopts a U-shaped aluminum alloy frame, with four sets of rollers 10 symmetrically installed on the inner side of its top (one set on each side, one on the top and one on the bottom). The upper roller contacts the top surface of the rail groove 7, and the lower roller contacts the bottom surface of the rail groove 7, forming upper and lower limits. The gear 9 is installed in the middle of the irrigation mechanism 5 through bearings.

The reaction force of the water jet from the nozzle 12 drives the nozzle 11 to rotate at 30 r / min, forming a ring-shaped spraying area with a diameter of 4-5 m. When the irrigation mechanism 5 moves to the end of the track, the drive motor 20 rotates in the opposite direction, achieving reciprocating irrigation.
