Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the field of drip irrigation technology, and more specifically, to a drip irrigation growth device for crop roots. Background Technology
[0002] In today's rapidly changing agricultural landscape, numerous challenges have emerged. On the one hand, water scarcity has become a global problem, and traditional extensive irrigation methods, such as flood irrigation, have resulted in alarming water waste, exacerbating the already acute contradiction between the two. On the other hand, the global population continues to rise, placing immense pressure on food supply. Improving crop yield and quality is now imperative and a key breakthrough in ensuring food security. Against this backdrop, the crop root drip irrigation system has made its debut. Rooted in the cutting-edge concept of precision agriculture, it is meticulously developed to precisely target crop roots, striving to deliver every drop of water and every nutrient accurately to where the roots need it most, injecting powerful momentum into agricultural development.
[0003] Existing crop root drip irrigation devices cannot precisely control the inflow and outflow of water according to the actual water level, which easily leads to water waste, reduces water utilization efficiency, and is not conducive to the automated control of drip irrigation, making it impossible to achieve constant drip irrigation. At the same time, it increases a lot of labor and time costs, resulting in low efficiency and convenience of irrigation management. Therefore, improvements and optimizations are needed.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the embodiments disclosed herein are as follows: When the linkage rod moves upward, it will drive the linkage ball, causing the linkage rod to move upward. When the linkage ball moves upward, it will drive the sliding baffle to move upward. As the water level gradually rises, the sliding baffle will seal the connection between the water distribution pipe and the drip irrigation component, thereby controlling the stopping of water injection.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the embodiments disclosed herein are as follows: When water is injected into the drip irrigation box through the connecting pipe, the water level inside the drip irrigation box will gradually increase, causing the second suspension cover to gradually move upward as the water level rises. Then, the second suspension cover drives the second hollow connecting rod to move upward. When the second hollow connecting rod moves upward, it will drive the sealing plate to slide upward along the groove. When the sealing plate moves upward, water will drip into the crop roots through the linear array of drip irrigation nozzles, and the sealing plate will seal the drip irrigation nozzles. Compared with traditional devices, this device can effectively prevent soil from entering the drip irrigation area when the water level drops, avoiding soil blockage of the drip irrigation nozzles or contamination of the drip irrigation system. When the water level rises, the sealing plate opens to carry out drip irrigation, ensuring that water and nutrients are accurately delivered to the area around the crop roots, reducing water evaporation and loss on the soil surface, and improving water use efficiency.

[0030] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a crop root drip irrigation growth device, including a water supply pipe 1, with connecting mechanisms fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the water supply pipe 1, and multiple water distribution pipes 2 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the water supply pipe 1. A drip irrigation component 3 is fixedly connected to the end of the water distribution pipe 2, and the drip irrigation component 3 is connected to the water distribution pipe 2. A sliding baffle 4 is movably installed on the inner wall of the drip irrigation component 3, and a first hollow connecting rod 12 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the sliding baffle 4. A linkage ball 6 is fixedly installed at the end of the first hollow connecting rod 12, and a linkage rod 7 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the linkage ball 6. A first suspension cover 8 is fixedly installed at the end of the linkage rod 7. Multiple connecting pipes 14 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the drip irrigation component 3, and the multiple connecting pipes 14 are interconnected with the drip irrigation component 3.
[0031] When the connecting mechanism connects to the external water source, water is injected into the water supply pipe 1. The water supply pipe 1 then distributes the water into multiple branch pipes 2, which in turn distribute the water into the drip irrigation assembly 3. As the water flows into the drip irrigation assembly 3, the water level inside the assembly gradually rises, causing the first suspension cover 8 to gradually float. When the first suspension cover 8 floats, it drives the linkage rod 7 to move upward. When the linkage rod 7 moves upward, it drives the linkage ball 6 to move upward. When the linkage ball 6 moves upward, it drives the sliding baffle 4 to move upward. As the water level gradually rises, the sliding baffle 4 seals the connection between the branch pipe 2 and the drip irrigation assembly 3, thereby stopping the water injection. When the water flows out through the multiple connecting pipes 14, the water in the drip irrigation assembly 3 gradually decreases, causing the first suspension cover 8 to gradually descend. This then drives the linkage rod 7, linkage ball 6, first hollow connecting rod 12, and sliding baffle 4 to descend, allowing the branch pipe 2 to inject water into the drip irrigation assembly 3 again.
[0032] When the linkage rod 7 moves upward, it will drive the linkage ball 6, causing the linkage rod 7 to move upward. When the linkage ball 6 moves upward, it will drive the sliding baffle 4 to move upward. As the water level gradually rises, the sliding baffle 4 will seal the connection between the water distribution pipe 2 and the drip irrigation component 3, thereby controlling the stopping of water injection. When the water flows out through multiple connecting pipes 14, the water in the drip irrigation component 3 will gradually decrease, causing the first suspension cover 8 to gradually descend. Then, the linkage rod 7, linkage ball 6, first hollow connecting rod 12, and sliding baffle 4 will descend, allowing the water distribution pipe 2 to inject water into the drip irrigation component 3 again. Compared with traditional devices, this device can accurately control the inflow and outflow of water according to the actual water level, avoiding unnecessary water waste, improving water resource utilization efficiency, facilitating automated water control of drip irrigation, maintaining constant drip irrigation, and saving a lot of labor and time costs, thus improving the efficiency and convenience of irrigation management.
[0033] In some examples, a drip irrigation box 15 is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting pipe 14. A groove 16 is provided on the inner wall of the drip irrigation box 15. A sealing plate 17 is slidably installed on the inner side of the groove 16. A drip irrigation port 21 is fixedly connected to the side of the drip irrigation box 15 near the sealing plate 17 and the drip irrigation port 21 is arranged in a linear array. A second hollow connecting rod 18 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the sealing plate 17. A second suspension cover 19 is fixedly installed at the end of the second hollow connecting rod 18.
[0034] When the connecting pipe 14 injects water into the drip irrigation box 15, the water level inside the drip irrigation box 15 will gradually increase, causing the second suspension cover 19 to gradually move upward as the water level rises. Then, the second suspension cover 19 drives the second hollow connecting rod 18 to move upward. When the second hollow connecting rod 18 moves upward, it will drive the sealing plate 17 to slide upward along the slide groove 16. When the sealing plate 17 moves upward, water will drip into the crop roots through the linear array of drip irrigation ports 21, and the sealing plate 17 will seal the drip irrigation ports 21.
[0035] When water is injected into the drip irrigation box 15 through the connecting pipe 14, the water level inside the drip irrigation box 15 will gradually increase, causing the second suspension cover 19 to gradually move upward as the water level rises. Then, the second suspension cover 19 drives the second hollow connecting rod 18 to move upward. When the second hollow connecting rod 18 moves upward, it will drive the sealing plate 17 to slide upward along the slide groove 16. When the sealing plate 17 moves upward, water will drip into the crop roots through the linear array of drip irrigation ports 21, and the sealing plate 17 will seal the drip irrigation ports 21. Compared with traditional devices, this device can effectively prevent soil from entering the drip irrigation area when the water level drops, avoiding soil blockage of the drip irrigation ports or contamination of the drip irrigation system. When the water level rises, the sealing plate opens to carry out drip irrigation, ensuring that water and nutrients are accurately delivered to the area around the crop roots, reducing water evaporation and loss on the soil surface, and improving water use efficiency.
[0036] In some instances, a limiting block 11 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom of the drip irrigation assembly 3 and located on both sides of the sliding cover 4, with the sliding cover 4 closely attached to the inner wall of the drip irrigation assembly 3, and the limiting block 11 tilted inward.
[0037] With two limiting blocks 11 on both sides of the sliding cover 4 and the sliding cover 4 tightly attached to the inner wall of the drip irrigation component 3, the sliding cover 4 can be effectively limited, which can effectively increase the sealing effect of the sliding cover 4 on the connection between the water distribution pipe 2 and the drip irrigation component 3.
[0038] In some instances, a first suspension air cushion 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sliding cover 4, and the first suspension air cushion 5 is fixedly installed at a uniform interval at the bottom of the sliding cover 4.
[0039] The first suspension air cushion 5 is fixedly installed at a uniform interval on the bottom of the sliding cover 4, which can effectively buffer and reduce shock when the sliding cover 4 falls.
[0040] In some instances, a limiting ring 9 is fixedly installed at the top of the water supply pipe 1, and a buffer rubber pad 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the limiting ring 9, with the buffer rubber pad 10 arranged in a circumferential array.
[0041] The buffer rubber pads 10 are fixedly installed in a circumferential array at the bottom of the limiting ring 9, which can buffer and limit the first suspension cover 8 as the water level gradually rises.
[0042] In some instances, the connecting mechanism includes buffer pipes 22 fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the water supply pipe 1, and the buffer pipes 22 have an opening shape that is larger on the outside and smaller on the inside.
[0043] The buffer tube 22 has an opening shape that is larger on the outside and smaller on the inside. It can relieve the impact force when water enters the water supply pipe 1, and prevent the internal components from being damaged by excessive water flow.
[0044] In some instances, the connecting mechanism also includes connecting components 23 fixedly installed on the sides of the buffer tube 22, and the connecting components 23 have connecting ports arranged in a circumferential array on their outer sides.
[0045] The connecting component 23 has a circular array of connection ports on its outer side, which makes it easy for the connecting component 23 to be adapted to a variety of different external water pipes.
[0046] In some instances, a beveled insert 13 is fixedly mounted on the bottom side of the drip irrigation assembly 3, and the beveled insert 13 is tapered in shape.
[0047] The tapered shape of the inclined insertion block 13 facilitates the adjustment of the insertion angle during installation and use, meeting the needs of use at different insertion angles.
[0048] In some instances, a second suspension air cushion 20 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the second suspension cover 19, and the second suspension air cushion 20 is in the shape of a cross.
[0049] The second suspension air cushion 20 is cross-shaped, which can effectively increase the suspension effect of the second suspension cover 19 and avoid the situation where the sealing plate 17 slides and gets stuck due to insufficient buoyancy.
[0050] In some instances, the drip inlet 21 is wider on the inside and narrower on the outside, and the drip inlet 21 extends to the side of the sealing plate 17.
[0051] The drip irrigation inlet 21 has a shape that is wider on the inside and narrower on the outside, which allows water to flow out easily while preventing soil from entering from the outside.
[0052] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When the connecting mechanism is connected to the external water source, water is injected into the water supply pipe 1. Then, the water supply pipe 1 will disperse the water into multiple water distribution pipes 2. After that, the water distribution pipes 2 will disperse the water into the drip irrigation assembly 3. When the water flows into the drip irrigation assembly 3, the water level inside the drip irrigation assembly 3 will gradually rise, causing the first suspension cover 8 to gradually float. When the first suspension cover 8 floats, it will drive the linkage rod 7 to move upward. When the linkage rod 7 moves upward, it will drive the linkage ball 6 to move the linkage rod 7 upward. When the linkage ball 6 moves upward, it will drive the sliding baffle 4 to move upward. As the water level gradually rises, the sliding baffle 4 will seal the connection between the water distribution pipe 2 and the drip irrigation assembly 3, thereby controlling the water source to stop injecting. When the water source flows out through the multiple connecting pipes 14, the water in the drip irrigation assembly 3 will gradually decrease, causing the first suspension cover 8 to gradually descend. Then, it will drive the linkage rod 7, linkage ball 6, first hollow connecting rod 12 and sliding baffle 4 to descend, so that the water distribution pipe 2 will inject water into the drip irrigation assembly 3 again.
[0053] When the connecting pipe 14 injects water into the drip irrigation box 15, the water level inside the drip irrigation box 15 will gradually increase, causing the second suspension cover 19 to gradually move upward as the water level rises. Then, the second suspension cover 19 drives the second hollow connecting rod 18 to move upward. When the second hollow connecting rod 18 moves upward, it will drive the sealing plate 17 to slide upward along the slide groove 16. When the sealing plate 17 moves upward, water will drip into the crop roots through the linear array of drip irrigation ports 21, and the sealing plate 17 will seal the drip irrigation ports 21.
