Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water collection and drip irrigation technology, and in particular to a new energy water collection and rotary drip irrigation device. Background Technology
[0002] Rotary drip irrigation uses a water delivery pipe to spray water onto plants through orifices on a rotating drip irrigation unit. Specifically, water pressure drives the rotating drip irrigation unit to rotate, achieving 360° spraying and uniform irrigation of the plants. Existing related solutions can be found in Chinese Utility Model Patent No. CN217771056U, which discloses a new energy water-collecting rotary drip irrigation device. This device includes a water collection well and a drip irrigation unit. The drip irrigation unit is installed outside the water collection well, which is equipped with a shielding component. The drip irrigation unit includes a solar-powered structure and an auxiliary water collection structure. The shielding component is installed at the wellhead, the solar-powered structure is installed at the edge of the wellhead, and the auxiliary water collection structure is installed outside the water collection well. The solar-powered structure includes a water pump, a water supply pipe, a rotating atomizing nozzle, a positioning frame, a battery, a solar panel, and a protective shell. This patented water-collecting irrigation technology provides power to the water pump through the coordination of the various components of the solar-powered structure, eliminating the need for external power cords and avoiding the cumbersome wiring issues. This achieves energy conservation by utilizing solar power.
[0003] However, the aforementioned rotary drip irrigation devices suffer from several drawbacks. The limited number of outlets in the rotating atomizing nozzles results in a small spray area and low irrigation efficiency. Furthermore, the continuous operation of the water pump throughout the irrigation process requires a constant power supply from a solar-powered structure, leading to high power consumption and poor energy efficiency. Moreover, the continuous pump operation keeps the rotating atomizing nozzles constantly spraying water, preventing sufficient absorption time for the soil. In soils with low water absorption efficiency, the sprayed water easily collects and runs away, resulting in water waste. This also fails to ensure thorough and effective irrigation within the ideal irrigation period. Therefore, an improved structure for a new energy-based rotary drip irrigation device is urgently needed to overcome these shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0006] As a preferred technical solution, the driving block power device includes a water inlet plate fixed on the top wall of the bottom water reservoir, a through hole that mates with the water inlet plate through the top wall of the bottom water reservoir, water inlet holes arranged through the water inlet plate, the bottom end of the supporting outer cylinder sealingly surrounding the outer periphery of the through hole, a driving water reservoir located at the bottom of the water inlet plate and sealed inside the bottom water reservoir, and the driving water reservoir sealingly surrounding the outer periphery of the water inlet holes, and a water pump installed on the driving water reservoir, with the water inlet end of the water pump located inside the bottom water reservoir and the water outlet end located inside the driving water reservoir;
[0007] It also includes a rotating frame rotatably mounted at the bottom of the inner cylinder drive block, and a drive block return tension spring is provided between the rotating frame and the water inlet plate for limiting the rotation.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the sliding inner cylinder is vertically connected to the drip irrigation horizontal pipe.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution, a rainwater collector is also included, which is connected to the bottom water storage tank via a water delivery cylinder.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the bottom water storage tank is configured as multiple units and surrounds the outer periphery of the rainwater collector.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the bottom water storage units are arranged in groups and connected to each other in the same group. The bottom water storage units in the same group are connected to the rainwater collector through a water delivery cylinder.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the top of the rainwater collector is equipped with a filter plate, and a filter plate assembly device is provided between the rainwater collector and the filter plate.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the filter plate is inclined downwards from the periphery to the center.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the filter plate assembly device includes at least two snap-fit frames evenly distributed on the outer wall of the rainwater collector, and snap-fit plates are slidably assembled with each snap-fit frame, with the snap-fit plates connected to the filter plate.
[0015] As an improvement to the above technical solution, a solar panel is fixed to the top of the water delivery cylinder, and the solar panel is used in conjunction with the power equipment to store and provide electrical energy for the drive block power device.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. The water pump and drive block power unit work together. The water pump sends the water pressure from the bottom water tank to the drive water tank. The pressurized water is then sent to the bottom of the inner cylinder drive block through the water inlet plate. The water pressure drives the inner cylinder drive block, which, in cooperation with the outer wall spiral, moves upward along the supporting outer cylinder spiral. Simultaneously, it drives the sliding inner cylinder to slide upward. When the inner cylinder drive block rotates, it drives the sliding inner cylinder and the drip irrigation horizontal pipe to rotate synchronously. At the same time, pressurized water enters the sliding inner cylinder and the drip irrigation horizontal pipe through the water passage hole, and drips out through the drip irrigation hole during the rotation. After the water pump stops operating, the inner cylinder drive block moves downward under the action of the drive block return spring. The rotation frame adapts the rotation between the two. The inner cylinder drive block moves back and forth in the above manner to achieve intermittent drip irrigation, thereby providing the soil with a certain amount of absorption time, while reducing the burden on the water pump and power consumption, achieving the effect of energy-saving operation.
[0018] Second, by using the snap-fit plate and snap-fit frame together, the filter plate is stably mounted on the rainwater collector to prevent large foreign objects such as fallen leaves and plastic bags from entering the bottom water storage tank, thereby ensuring the safe and stable operation of the water pump.

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a new energy water-collecting rotary drip irrigation device is used for drip irrigation of plants. It includes a sealed bottom water reservoir 1, which is a sealed container capable of storing water. The bottom water reservoir 1 can be cylindrical or cuboid in shape, and is preferably made of materials such as metal or plastic. A tubular supporting outer cylinder 2 is fixedly installed at the top of the bottom water reservoir 1. A tubular sliding inner cylinder 3 is coaxially and movably fitted inside the supporting outer cylinder 2. The upper end of the sliding inner cylinder 3 extends to the outside of the supporting outer cylinder 2, and the upper end of the sliding inner cylinder 3 and the supporting outer cylinder 2 are sealed together. A drip irrigation horizontal pipe 4 is connected to the top of the sliding inner cylinder 3, and at least one row of linearly arranged drip irrigation holes is provided along the drip irrigation horizontal pipe 4. Through the cooperation of the supporting outer cylinder 2, the sliding inner cylinder 3, and the drip irrigation horizontal pipe 4, a connected channel is formed internally, allowing water to rise from the bottom water reservoir 1 into the drip irrigation horizontal pipe 4 and be transported outward through the drip irrigation holes to form drip irrigation.
[0028] In this embodiment, the sliding inner cylinder 3 is vertically connected to the drip irrigation horizontal pipe 4. The drip irrigation horizontal pipe 4 is configured as a horizontal pipe structure with a certain length and is provided with multiple drip irrigation holes, so that the drip irrigation horizontal pipe 4 has more water outlets and a larger irrigation area when drip irrigation is performed, which helps to improve irrigation efficiency.
[0029] An inner cylinder drive block 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sliding inner cylinder 3. A gap is formed between the inner wall of the supporting outer cylinder 2 and the outer wall of the sliding inner cylinder 3. An outer cylinder spiral is arranged along the inner wall of the supporting outer cylinder 2 within the gap. The outer cylinder spiral engages with the outer wall of the inner cylinder drive block 10. A water passage hole 11 is arranged through the inner cylinder drive block 10 and communicates with the sliding inner cylinder 3. Through the water passage hole 11 and the engagement of the sliding inner cylinder 3, the bottom water reservoir 1 is connected to the drip irrigation horizontal pipe 4. When the inner cylinder drive block 10 is subjected to an upward thrust, it will spiral upward along the inner wall of the supporting outer cylinder 2 under the engagement of the outer cylinder spiral, thereby pushing the sliding inner cylinder 3 upward. Furthermore, since the inner cylinder drive block 10 rotates as it moves upward, the sliding inner cylinder 3 also rotates and rises, thereby driving the drip irrigation horizontal pipe 4 to rotate. During the drip irrigation process, a circular irrigation area centered on the sliding inner cylinder 3 is obtained.
[0030] In this embodiment, a driving block power device is provided between the bottom of the inner cylinder driving block 10 and the bottom water reservoir 1 to drive the inner cylinder driving block 10. Under the action of the driving block power device, in conjunction with the spiral assembly between the inner cylinder driving block 10 and the outer cylinder spiral, the inner cylinder driving block 10 is spirally pushed upward and automatically returns to its original position. During the upward and downward movement of the inner cylinder driving block 10 spiral, the drip irrigation horizontal pipe 4 will perform drip irrigation. The water passage hole 10 is a small hole, and the diameter of the small hole is set by the spring force to ensure that when there is pressurized water below the inner cylinder driving block 10 pushing upward, the inner cylinder driving block 10 moves upward first.
[0031] Specifically, the driving block power device includes a water inlet plate 7 fixed to the inner top wall of the bottom water reservoir 1. A through hole is provided through the top wall of the bottom water reservoir 1 to cooperate with the water inlet plate 7. Water inlet holes are arranged through the water inlet plate 7 to deliver water from the bottom water reservoir 1 through the through hole and the water inlet holes. The bottom end of the supporting outer cylinder 2 is sealed around the outer periphery of the through hole. The driving water reservoir 5 is sealed inside the bottom water reservoir 1 at the bottom of the water inlet plate 7, and the driving water reservoir 5 is sealed around the outer periphery of the water inlet hole. The sealing at these two locations can prevent water from overflowing and causing pressure loss, which helps to ensure successful drip irrigation through the drip irrigation horizontal pipe 4. A water pump 6 is installed on the driving water reservoir 5. The water inlet end of the water pump 6 is located inside the bottom water reservoir 1, and the water outlet end is located inside the driving water reservoir 5. The water pump 6 increases the water pressure to drive the inner cylinder driving block 10 to move spirally upward. The drive block power unit also includes a rotating frame 9 rotatably mounted at the bottom of the inner cylinder drive block 10. A drive block return spring 8 is fitted between the rotating frame 9 and the water inlet plate 7 for limiting the movement of the drive block. The upper end of the drive block return spring 8 is connected to the rotating frame 9, and the lower end is connected to the water inlet plate 7. When the inner cylinder drive block 10 reaches its limit position, the water pump 6 stops working and, under the action of the drive block return spring 8, pulls the inner cylinder drive block 10 back to its original position, ready for the next upward movement. The water pump 6 starts intermittently, and the interval between starts can be set. This facilitates the smooth return of the inner cylinder drive block 10 and allows the soil, which is difficult to absorb water, to absorb the drip irrigation water through a certain interval, preventing it from accumulating and being lost, thus improving water utilization and preventing water waste.
[0032] This embodiment also includes a rainwater collector 13, which is connected to the bottom water storage tank 1 via a water delivery cylinder 12. The rainwater collector 13 is used to recycle rainwater and supply it to the bottom water storage tank 1 through the water delivery cylinder 12. A filter plate 16 is detachably covered at the top of the rainwater collector 13. A filter plate assembly device is provided between the rainwater collector 13 and the filter plate 16. The filter plate 16 seals the port of the rainwater collector 13 to prevent large foreign objects such as leaves from falling in, thus preventing them from entering the bottom water storage tank 1 with rainwater and clogging the inlet of the water pump 6, thereby ensuring the smooth implementation of drip irrigation. Furthermore, the filter plate 16 is inclined downwards from the periphery to the center, which helps rainwater to flow smoothly into the rainwater collector 13 for temporary storage. The filter plate assembly device allows for convenient assembly between the rainwater collector 13 and the filter plate 16.
[0033] The filter plate assembly device includes at least two snap-fit frames 14 evenly distributed on the outer wall of the rainwater collector 13. Snap-fit plates 18 are slidably fitted to each snap-fit frame 14, and are connected to the filter plate 16. The snap-fit plates 18 can be inserted into the snap-fit frames 14 to achieve a cover-fixed connection between the filter plate 16 and the rainwater collector 13. When the rainwater collector 13 is connected to only one bottom water reservoir 1, the volume of the rainwater collector 13 does not need to be too large. A magnetic ring 17 can be fixedly installed on the inner side of each snap-fit plate 18, and a magnetic ring 15 can be fixedly installed on the top of the rainwater collector 13. The shape and size of the magnetic ring 15 can be completely identical to that of the magnetic ring 17. The adsorption effect of the magnetic rings 17 and 15 strengthens the secure fit of the filter plate 16 to the rainwater collector 13.
[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the bottom water reservoir 1 can also be configured as multiple units surrounding the outer periphery of the rainwater collector 13. In this case, one rainwater collector 13 supplies water to multiple bottom water reservoirs 1. The rainwater collector 13 has a relatively large volume, and the filter plate 16 also has a large volume. Through its own weight and the cooperation of the snap-fit frame 14 and the snap-fit plate 18, it can securely cover the rainwater collector 13, eliminating the need for the first magnetic ring 17 and the second magnetic ring 15.
[0035] When one rainwater collector 13 corresponds to multiple bottom water storage units 1, the bottom water storage units 1 can be grouped and connected together. The bottom water storage units 1 in the same group are connected to the rainwater collector 13 through a water delivery tube 12, thereby reducing the number of water delivery tubes 12 required.
[0036] In this embodiment, a solar panel can also be fixedly installed on the top of the water delivery cylinder 12. The solar panel generates solar power, which, in conjunction with the power transmission equipment, stores and provides electrical energy to the drive unit (specifically, the water pump 6). Furthermore, the water pump 6 can be connected to a drip irrigation controller to automate drip irrigation. The connections and coordination between the drip irrigation controller, water pump 6, solar panel, and power transmission equipment are well-known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. By utilizing solar energy through the solar panel, the use of mains electricity is saved, making drip irrigation more energy-efficient.
[0037] The specific working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0038] When drip irrigation is required, start the water pump 6;
[0039] The water pump 6 pressurizes the water in the bottom water reservoir 1 and delivers it to the drive water reservoir 5. The pressurized water acts on the bottom of the inner cylinder drive block 10 after passing through the water inlet plate 7, pushing it upward. This causes the inner cylinder drive block 10 to spiral upward along the inner wall of the supporting outer cylinder 2, while simultaneously driving the sliding inner cylinder 3 and the drip irrigation horizontal pipe 4 to rotate and move upward. After the inner cylinder drive block 10 reaches its limit position, a water cavity is formed below the inner cylinder drive block 10. The pressurized water continues to enter the drip irrigation horizontal pipe 4 through the water passage 11 and the sliding inner cylinder 3.
[0040] When the water pump 6 stops, under the action of the return spring 8 of the drive block, the inner cylinder drive block 10 is pulled down and screwed back to its original position. During the screw return process, the water in the water chamber is squeezed and enters the sliding inner cylinder 3 through the water passage 11, and is dripped by the drip irrigation horizontal pipe 4 while rotating.
[0041] After the inner cylinder drive block 10 is reset downwards, it can be prepared to carry out the next upward task.
[0042] Repeat the above process and, by setting the downtime of water pump 6, complete the intermittent drip irrigation of the plants so that the soil can fully absorb water.
[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
