Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural equipment technology, and in particular to an automated irrigation device for planting Polygonatum odoratum. Background Technology
[0002] Polygonatum cyrtonema is an important medicinal plant. Its rhizome has the effects of replenishing qi and nourishing yin, strengthening the spleen and moistening the lungs, and there is a large market demand. Special attention needs to be paid to its growth habits and environmental requirements when cultivating Polygonatum cyrtonema.
[0003] Polygonatum multiflorum prefers loose, fertile, well-drained sandy loam or humus soil, with a pH value of slightly acidic to neutral (5.5-7.0). It dislikes heavy, waterlogged soil; the suitable growth temperature is 15-25℃, and it is relatively cold-resistant, but it is susceptible to high temperature and drought; the soil should be kept moist during the growing season, but waterlogging should be avoided.
[0004] Current automated irrigation systems can only irrigate at set times and in set quantities, but the water consumption of vegetation varies at different times and in different seasons. Since Polygonatum polyantha is susceptible to waterlogging, the water volume is difficult to control. Utility Model Content
[0005] Therefore, in response to the above problems, this utility model proposes an automated irrigation device for planting Polygonatum odoratum, which solves the technical problem that current automated irrigation settings can only irrigate at fixed times and in fixed quantities, but the water consumption of vegetation varies at different times and in different seasons, and the water volume is difficult to control because Polygonatum odoratum is susceptible to waterlogging.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an automated irrigation device for planting Polygonatum odoratum, the structure of which includes an irrigation water tank, a fertilizer inlet, an output pump, an output pipe, sprinkler heads, a water collection trough, a water collection pipe, a drain pipe, a drain pump, a sedimentation tank, and a return pump. The irrigation water tank has a fertilizer inlet at its top and an output pump at its top. The output pump is connected to the output pipe. Multiple sprinkler heads are installed on the output pipe, and the sprinkler heads are located on the ground. A water collection trough formed by a thin film is installed 40-50cm below the ground. A water collection pipe, which is a rigid plastic pipe, is placed at the bottom of the water collection trough. Multiple water collection ports are installed on the water collection pipe, which is connected to the drain pipe. A drain pump is installed on the drain pipe, and the output pipe of the drain pump is connected to the sedimentation tank. The sedimentation tank is connected to the return pump via a pipe, and the return pump outputs to the irrigation water tank.
[0007] Furthermore, the front end of the inlet pipe of the output pump is located in the lower part of the interior of the irrigation tank.
[0008] Furthermore, a filter screen made of stainless steel is installed at the water collection point to prevent soil from entering.
[0009] Furthermore, the supernatant from the sedimentation tank is output to the irrigation water tank via a reflux pump and a reflux pipe.
[0010] Furthermore, a sludge hopper is provided at the bottom of the sedimentation tank, and the bottom of the sludge hopper is connected to a sludge pump via a pipe.
[0011] Furthermore, a water collection trough is set under the Polygonatum plants planted in 2-3 rows.
[0012] Furthermore, the water collection trough has a bucket-shaped structure that is slightly higher on both sides and lower in the middle.
[0013] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This automated irrigation device for planting Polygonatum multiflorum improves upon the current automated irrigation settings, which can only irrigate at fixed times and in fixed quantities. However, the water consumption of plants varies at different times and in different seasons. Since Polygonatum multiflorum is susceptible to waterlogging and the water volume is difficult to control, this device directly drains excess water back into the soil. This ensures that enough water is output during irrigation to keep the soil moist, while also draining excess water to prevent waterlogging and root rot. This ensures optimal growth conditions for Polygonatum multiflorum and improves yield and quality. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0017] refer to Figure 1This embodiment provides an automated irrigation device for planting Polygonatum odoratum, the structure of which includes an irrigation water tank 1, a fertilizer inlet 2, an output pump 3, an output pipe 4, sprinkler heads 5, a water collection trough 6, a water collection pipe 7, a drainage pipe 8, a drainage pump 9, a sedimentation tank 10, and a return pump 11. The fertilizer inlet 2 is provided on the top of the irrigation water tank 1, and the output pump 3 is also provided on the top of the irrigation water tank 1. The output pump 3 is connected to the output pipe 4, and multiple sprinkler heads 5 are provided on the output pipe 4. A water collection trough 6, formed by laying a thin film, is set up 40-50cm below the ground. A water collection pipe 7, which is a rigid plastic water pipe, is placed at the bottom of the water collection trough 6. The water collection pipe 7 is provided with multiple water collection ports. The water collection pipe 7 is connected to a drain pipe 8. A drain pump 9 is installed on the drain pipe 8. The output pipe 4 of the drain pump 9 is connected to a sedimentation tank 10. The sedimentation tank 10 is connected to a return pump 11 through a pipe. The return pump 11 outputs water to the irrigation water tank 1.
[0018] The front end of the inlet pipe of the output pump 3 is located in the lower part of the interior of the irrigation water tank 1.
[0019] A filter screen made of stainless steel is installed at the water inlet to prevent soil from entering.
[0020] The supernatant from the sedimentation tank 10 is output to the irrigation water tank 1 via the return pump 11 and the return pipe.
[0021] The bottom of the sedimentation tank 10 is equipped with a sludge hopper, and the bottom of the sludge hopper is connected to a sludge pump through a pipe.
[0022] A water collection trough is set under each of the 2-3 rows of Polygonatum plants.
[0023] The water collection trough 6 is a bucket-shaped structure that is slightly higher on both sides and lower in the middle.
[0024] This automated irrigation system for Polygonatum multiflorum cultivation improves upon current automated irrigation systems, which can only irrigate at set times and in measured quantities. However, the water consumption of plants varies at different times and in different seasons. Since Polygonatum multiflorum is susceptible to waterlogging and the amount of water is difficult to control, this system directly drains excess water back into the soil. This ensures that enough water is output during irrigation to keep the soil moist, while also draining excess water to prevent waterlogging and root rot. This guarantees optimal growing conditions for Polygonatum multiflorum, improving yield and quality.
