They are usually fixed by robotic arms, resulting in rigid mechanical structures that lack flexibility. They cannot automatically adjust irrigation parameters according to different trunk diameters and growth stages, leading to low irrigation efficiency. Furthermore, the control methods are limited and lack intelligence, making it difficult to achieve seamless connection and collaborative work with other agricultural equipment. It is also difficult to control the irrigation volume and speed. The complex mechanical structure, single irrigation method, and water waste also contribute to the problem. Summary of the Invention

A hydraulic cylinder controls the lifting arm to move up and down along the support column, and the servo motor controls the deflection angle of the telescopic arm, large arm, middle arm, connecting arm, and small arm. One end of the hose is connected to a water pump, and the other end passes through the lifting arm and the telescopic arm and large arm symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lifting arm, communicating with the water passages in the middle arm, connecting arm, and small arm.

[0007] Furthermore, the front surface of the upper arm is equipped with an ultrasonic sensor.

[0008] Furthermore, several irrigation nozzles are evenly distributed on the inner sides of the middle arm, connecting arm, and forearm, and the irrigation nozzles are connected to the water channels inside the middle arm, connecting arm, and forearm; a sealing ring is provided between the hose and the middle arm, and the outer side of the forearm is a closed structure.

[0009] Furthermore, an oil pump is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the base.
