Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural irrigation, and more specifically, to a drip irrigation device for tomato roots. Background Technology

[0002] Tomatoes, a widely grown and popular vegetable crop globally, require extremely precise supply of water and nutrients during their growth process. Proper irrigation methods not only ensure tomato yield and quality but are also crucial for the efficient use of water resources. However, current tomato irrigation technologies have several shortcomings in practical application, as follows:

[0003] Traditional irrigation methods, such as flood irrigation and furrow irrigation, often struggle to precisely deliver water and nutrients to the tomato roots. Flood irrigation causes large amounts of water to overflow onto the soil surface, preventing most of the water from being effectively absorbed by the tomato roots. This not only results in significant water waste but can also lead to soil compaction and other problems, hindering root growth and respiration. While furrow irrigation improves efficiency to some extent, it still cannot precisely control water distribution, easily leading to localized over- or under-watering, which is detrimental to the uniform growth of tomatoes. Therefore, we have made improvements by proposing a drip irrigation device for tomato roots. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the problems raised in the existing background technology. To achieve the above-mentioned utility model objective, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tomato root drip irrigation device, including a tomato root drip irrigation main pipe, a conical inlet pipe installed on the inlet of the tomato root drip irrigation main pipe, a fixed outer plate nested on the outer pipe of the conical inlet pipe, and a connecting flange provided on the tomato root drip irrigation main pipe, the connecting flange being connected to the conical inlet pipe, wherein the outer plate of the connecting flange is embedded with flange holes, there are twelve flange holes arranged in a ring shape, and a bolt can be inserted into each flange hole.

[0005] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the main drip irrigation pipe at the tomato root is connected to an irrigation branch pipe and an irrigation branch auxiliary pipe on one side.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the irrigation branch pipe is provided with a connecting pipe, the end of the connecting pipe is equipped with an irrigation pump servo motor, and an L-shaped connecting pipe is connected between the irrigation branch pipe and the connecting pipe.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the L-shaped connecting pipe is provided with a liquid inlet valve, while the connecting pipe is equipped with an irrigation inlet valve.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a drip irrigation tube is embedded in the other end of the irrigation branch pipe, and a tomato root drip irrigation tube is installed on the outer pipe of the drip irrigation tube.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the tomato root drip irrigation pipe is provided with twenty-six pipes, which are arranged in a linear array on the drip infusion pipe.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a bottom drip irrigation side atomizing nozzle is provided at the bottom of the drip infusion tube, a middle drip irrigation side atomizing nozzle is installed above the bottom drip irrigation side atomizing nozzle, and a top drip irrigation side atomizing nozzle is connected above the middle drip irrigation side atomizing nozzle.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the drip irrigation pipe at the root of the tomato is provided with a drip irrigation top atomizing nozzle in the groove of the top pipe.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention features drip irrigation pipes for tomato roots, with each pipe equipped with bottom drip irrigation side atomizing nozzles, middle drip irrigation side atomizing nozzles, top drip irrigation side atomizing nozzles, and top drip irrigation atomizing nozzles. These nozzles can precisely deliver irrigation liquid to the area around the tomato roots, ensuring that water and nutrients directly act on the plant roots. This avoids the large-area flooding and waste of water in traditional irrigation methods, improves irrigation precision, and enables tomatoes to absorb water and nutrients more effectively, promoting their growth and development.

[0013] Powered by a servo motor, the irrigation pump allows for flexible adjustment of liquid flow and pressure according to actual needs. Simultaneously, the liquid inlet valve and irrigation inlet valve precisely control the amount of liquid entering the irrigation branch pipe, ensuring that tomatoes receive adequate water supply at different growth stages and under varying environmental conditions, thus improving irrigation efficiency.

[0014] The tight connection effectively prevents irrigation liquid leakage, avoiding water waste and environmental pollution. At the same time, the excellent sealing ensures stable pressure of the irrigation liquid during delivery, guaranteeing that each nozzle can spray liquid evenly and improving irrigation efficiency.

[0015] This invention features bottom drip irrigation side atomizing nozzles, mid-section drip irrigation side atomizing nozzles, top drip irrigation side atomizing nozzles, and top drip irrigation atomizing nozzles that spray irrigation liquid in atomized form. This increases the contact area between the liquid and air, allowing water to be distributed more evenly in the soil. This atomized irrigation not only improves water use efficiency but also enhances soil aeration, which is beneficial for tomato root respiration and growth.

[0016] This invention uses nozzles at different positions to irrigate the tomato roots from multiple angles, covering a larger area and ensuring that all parts of the root system receive sufficient water. This multi-angle irrigation method promotes comprehensive root growth and enhances the overall health of the plant.

[0017] The inclusion of inlet valves for both the infusion liquid and the irrigation liquid allows operators to flexibly adjust the flow and pressure of the irrigation liquid based on factors such as the tomato's growth stage, soil moisture, and weather conditions. This flexibility meets irrigation needs under different conditions, improving the adaptability and practicality of the device.

[0018] The main drip irrigation pipe at the tomato roots is connected to both an irrigation branch pipe and an auxiliary irrigation branch pipe. This multi-pipe design increases the system's flexibility. When a large amount of irrigation is needed, two pipes can be used simultaneously for water supply; in some cases, one pipe can be used alone to meet different irrigation needs.

[0027] Example 1: A tomato root drip irrigation device includes a tomato root drip irrigation main pipe 1, a conical inlet pipe 2 installed on the inlet of the tomato root drip irrigation main pipe 1, a fixed outer plate 3 nested on the outer pipe of the conical inlet pipe 2, and a connecting flange 4 provided on the tomato root drip irrigation main pipe 1, which is connected to the conical inlet pipe 2. The outer plate of the connecting flange 4 is embedded with flange holes 5, and there are twelve flange holes 5 arranged in a ring shape. A bolt can be inserted into each flange hole 5.

[0028] One side of the main drip irrigation pipe 1 for tomato roots is connected to an irrigation branch pipe 6 and an irrigation branch auxiliary pipe 7. The irrigation branch pipe 6 has a connecting pipe 8, and an irrigation pump servo motor 9 is installed at the end of the connecting pipe 8. An L-shaped connecting pipe 10 connects the irrigation branch pipe 6 and the connecting pipe 8. The L-shaped connecting pipe 10 has a liquid inlet valve 11, while the connecting pipe 8 has an irrigation inlet valve 12. A drip irrigation tube 13 is embedded in the other end of the irrigation branch pipe 6, and tomato root drip irrigation tubes 14 are installed on the outer tube of the drip irrigation tube 13. There are twenty-six tomato root drip irrigation tubes 14, arranged in a linear array on the drip irrigation tube 13.

[0029] A bottom drip irrigation side atomizing nozzle 15 is installed at the bottom side of the drip infusion tube 13. A middle drip irrigation side atomizing nozzle 16 is installed above the bottom drip irrigation side atomizing nozzle 15, and a top drip irrigation side atomizing nozzle 17 is connected above the middle drip irrigation side atomizing nozzle 16. A top drip irrigation atomizing nozzle 18 is installed in the groove of the top tube of the drip irrigation tube 14 at the tomato roots.

[0030] Working principle of tomato root drip irrigation device:

[0031] Liquid introduction stage:

[0032] 1. Liquid Introduction: Irrigation liquid enters the main drip irrigation pipe 1 at the root of the tomato plant through the conical inlet pipe 2. The design of the conical inlet pipe 2 facilitates the concentrated flow of liquid, improving the efficiency of liquid intake and reducing the possibility of liquid splashing.

[0033] 2. Connection and Fixing: A fixing outer plate 3 is nested on the outer tube of the conical inlet pipe 2, which serves to initially fix the conical inlet pipe 2. Simultaneously, the conical inlet pipe 2 is tightly connected to the main drip irrigation pipe 1 at the tomato root system via the connecting flange 4. The outer plate of the connecting flange 4 has twelve flange holes 5 arranged in a ring shape, into which bolts can be inserted to further strengthen the connection, ensuring its sealing and stability and preventing liquid leakage.

[0034] Liquid dispensing stage:

[0035] 1. Diversion: The liquid entering the drip irrigation main pipe 1 at the tomato roots flows to the irrigation branch pipe 6 and the irrigation branch auxiliary pipe 7 respectively. The irrigation branch auxiliary pipe 7 may be used for auxiliary irrigation or to provide additional irrigation flow in special circumstances, while the irrigation branch pipe 6 is the main irrigation liquid delivery pipe.

[0036] 2. Pumping and Control: An irrigation pumping servo motor 9 is installed at the end of the connecting pipe 8 on the irrigation branch pipe 6. This motor provides power for the flow of liquid, ensuring that the liquid can pass smoothly through the pipe. An L-shaped connecting pipe 10 connects the irrigation branch pipe 6 and the connecting pipe 8. The liquid inlet valve 11 on the L-shaped connecting pipe 10 and the irrigation inlet valve 12 on the connecting pipe 8 are used to control the flow rate and on / off of the liquid. By adjusting these two valves, the amount of liquid entering the irrigation branch pipe 6 can be precisely controlled according to the actual irrigation needs.

[0037] Drip irrigation stage:

[0038] 1. Drip infusion tubing and drip irrigation tubing: The regulated liquid enters the drip infusion tubing 13 from the irrigation branch pipe 6. Twenty-six linearly arrayed drip irrigation tubing 14 are installed on the outer tube of the drip infusion tubing 13 tomato roots. These drip irrigation tubing evenly distribute the liquid around the tomato roots.

[0039] 2. Atomizing Sprinkler Irrigation: A bottom atomizing sprinkler 15 is installed at the bottom of the drip irrigation tube 13, a middle atomizing sprinkler 16 is installed in the middle section, and a top atomizing sprinkler 17 is connected to the top. Simultaneously, a top atomizing sprinkler 18 is installed in the groove of the top pipe of the tomato root drip irrigation tube 14. These atomizing sprinklers spray the liquid in an atomized form, increasing the contact area between the liquid and air, making irrigation more even and delicate, and allowing better penetration into the soil around the tomato roots, improving irrigation efficiency and reducing water waste. The tomato root drip irrigation device achieves precise and efficient irrigation of the tomato roots through three stages: liquid inlet, liquid distribution, and drip irrigation.

[0040] The working process of the tomato root drip irrigation device: The conical inlet pipe 2 is nested on the opening of the tomato root drip irrigation main pipe 1, and the fixed outer plate 3 is used for initial positioning and fixation.

[0041] Connect the tapered inlet pipe 2 and the main drip irrigation pipe 1 at the tomato roots by connecting flange 4. Insert bolts into the twelve flange holes 5 arranged in a ring on the outer plate of connecting flange 4 and tighten them to ensure a firm connection and good sealing to prevent irrigation liquid leakage.

[0042] Connect the irrigation branch pipe 6, irrigation branch auxiliary pipe 7, connecting pipe 8, L-shaped connecting pipe 10 and other components in sequence to ensure that all pipes are tightly connected.

[0043] Insert the drip infusion tube 13 into the other end of the irrigation branch pipe 6, and install twenty-six tomato root drip irrigation tubes 14 arranged in a linear array, as well as bottom drip irrigation side atomizing nozzles 15, middle drip irrigation side atomizing nozzles 16, top drip irrigation side atomizing nozzles 17 and top drip irrigation atomizing nozzles 18.

[0044] Check the infusion valve 11 and the irrigation valve 12 to ensure that the valves are closed in preparation for subsequent startup.

[0045] Based on factors such as the tomato's growth stage, soil moisture, and weather conditions, the flow rate and pressure parameters required for subsequent irrigation are preliminarily determined.

[0046] Irrigation start-up phase

[0047] Turn on the irrigation liquid supply source, allowing the irrigation liquid to flow into the drip irrigation main 1 at the base of the tomato plant through the conical inlet pipe 2. The structure of the conical inlet pipe 2 helps to concentrate the liquid flow and improve the efficiency of liquid intake.

[0048] The irrigation pump servo motor 9 is started to provide power for the flow of irrigation liquid. After the motor starts running, the liquid begins to flow in the pipeline system.

[0049] Slowly open the infusion inlet valve 11 and the irrigation inlet valve 12, and adjust the valve opening according to the parameters determined in the early stage to control the flow rate and pressure of the liquid entering the irrigation branch pipe 6, so that the liquid can be delivered stably and in appropriate amount.

[0050] The liquid entering the main drip irrigation pipe 1 at the tomato roots flows to the irrigation branch pipe 6 and the irrigation branch auxiliary pipe 7. The irrigation branch pipe 6, as the main irrigation delivery channel, delivers the liquid to the drip infusion pipe 13. The liquid then enters the individual drip irrigation pipes 14 at the tomato roots through the drip infusion pipe 13. Simultaneously, the bottom drip irrigation side atomizing nozzles 15, the middle drip irrigation side atomizing nozzles 16, the top drip irrigation side atomizing nozzles 17, and the top drip irrigation atomizing nozzles 18 spray the liquid in a mist form. The atomized liquid evenly covers the soil around the tomato roots, allowing the water to penetrate more effectively into the deeper soil layers, meeting the water requirements for tomato growth.

[0051] Once the preset irrigation time or the required irrigation volume for the tomatoes is reached, first close the irrigation inlet valve 12 and the liquid delivery inlet valve 11 to stop the liquid delivery. Then, turn off the irrigation pump servo motor 9 to terminate the irrigation power supply. Inspect all components of the drip irrigation system for any liquid leaks or component damage. Clean the system to prevent blockages in the pipes and nozzles, preparing it for the next irrigation.

[0052] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Therefore, any modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present utility model, and all technical solutions and improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the utility model, are covered within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
