[0035] The implementation of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the specific accompanying drawings:

[0036] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a low-level micro-sprinkler control system for gardens provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the layout of a low-level micro-sprinkler control system for gardens provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The garden low-level micro-sprinkler control system includes:

[0037] Multiple sprinkler pipes, soil moisture sensor 102, controller 103 and alarm 104;

[0038] Multiple first solenoid valves 101 are installed on each spray pipe, and multiple spray modules 105 are installed between every two first solenoid valves 101 on the same spray pipe. A flow sensor 106 is installed on each spray pipe.

[0039] There are multiple soil moisture sensors 102, multiple first solenoid valves 101, multiple spray modules 105, flow sensor 106, and alarm 104, all of which are connected to controller 103.

[0040] The controller 103 is configured to control multiple sprinkler modules 105 to open or close at different time periods based on signals sent by the soil moisture sensor 102.

[0041] In this embodiment, the low-level micro-sprinkler control system for gardens can be applied to scenarios such as orchards on mountains, residential garden landscapes, and roadside green belts. (Reference) Figure 2 For example, a low-level micro-sprinkler control system for gardens is used in orchards on mountains, where fruit trees are arranged in rows, each row equipped with sprinkler pipes. Multiple sprinkler pipes can be connected to reservoir water, spring water, or groundwater. Each sprinkler pipe is equipped with multiple first solenoid valves 101 and multiple sprinkler modules 105. Figure 2 The schematic diagram shown shows three spray modules 105 positioned between every two first solenoid valves 101.

[0042] The sprinkler pipes are used to transport water or nutrient solution, delivering water from the water source to each sprinkler module 105 to form an irrigation network covering the garden, ensuring that water reaches the areas that need irrigation. The sprinkler pipes can be made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PE (polyethylene), or galvanized steel pipes, etc.

[0043] The first solenoid valve 101 acts as a water flow switch, controlling the flow of water in the sprinkler pipes according to the instructions of the controller 103. For example, it enables zoned or segmented control. When the controller 103 sends an open or close signal, the first solenoid valve 101 activates, controlling the water flow in the corresponding sprinkler pipe or area, ensuring independent control of irrigation operations in each area and improving irrigation accuracy and flexibility. Commonly used solenoid valves include direct-acting solenoid valves and pilot-operated solenoid valves. Direct-acting solenoid valves have a simple structure and fast start-up speed, suitable for small-diameter pipes and low-pressure systems; pilot-operated solenoid valves have low starting pressure and high flow rate, suitable for large-diameter pipes and higher-pressure systems, and can meet the needs of garden micro-sprinkler systems of different scales and pressure requirements.

[0044] The sprinkler module 105 can directly spray water onto the soil around the plants in a micro-spraying manner to achieve irrigation. The sprinkler module 105 can adjust the spray angle, range, and water output of the nozzles to meet the irrigation needs of different plants and ensure that water is evenly distributed in the area to be irrigated. The sprinkler module 105 can be a buried micro-sprayer, a rotary micro-sprayer, or a misting nozzle.

[0045] Soil moisture sensor 102 is buried in the soil of the area requiring irrigation to monitor the soil moisture content, converting soil moisture information into an electrical signal and sending it to controller 103. When soil moisture is low, controller 103 can activate sprinkler module 105 and first solenoid valve 101 for irrigation; when soil moisture is high, controller 103 controls the sprinkler module 105 and first solenoid valve 101 to shut off, thereby achieving precise irrigation.

[0046] Flow sensors 106 are installed at the inlet of each sprinkler pipe to monitor the water flow rate in the sprinkler pipe and convert the flow information into an electrical signal, which is then sent to the controller 103. When the water flow rate is lower than a preset threshold, it indicates insufficient water pressure, which may indicate pipe blockage or rupture. In this case, the controller 103 can trigger the alarm 104 to sound an alarm. Commonly used types include electromagnetic flow sensors 106 and turbine flow sensors 106.

[0047] For example, the working principle of the garden low-level micro-sprinkler control system in this embodiment is as follows:

[0048] refer to Figure 2 The sprinkler pipes are installed around the fruit trees. Each sprinkler pipe has three first solenoid valves 101, and multiple sprinkler modules 105 are arranged between every two first solenoid valves 101. When the soil moisture sensor 102 detects low soil moisture, the controller 103 controls all the first solenoid valves 101 to open, and sequentially controls the sprinkler modules 105 to water the lower parts of the fruit trees. The specific watering control process is as follows: The controller 103 first controls the three sprinkler modules 105 at the end of each sprinkler pipe to start spraying water. After the preset spraying time is reached, the controller controls the three sprinkler modules 105 to close, and the first solenoid valve 101 closest to these three sprinkler modules closes. Next, the controller 103 controls the three middle sprinkler modules 105 to start watering the fruit trees in this area. After the preset spraying time is reached, these three sprinkler modules close, and the first solenoid valve 101 closest to these three sprinkler modules closes. This process is repeated until all the fruit trees around all the sprinkler pipes are irrigated.

[0049] During the aforementioned watering of the fruit trees, not all sprinkler modules 105 spray water simultaneously, thus ensuring normal water pressure. If the flow sensor 106 detects an abnormal flow rate during spraying, the controller 103 can trigger the alarm 104 to issue a warning and instruct relevant personnel to investigate. The low-position micro-sprinkler control system in this embodiment can detect the location of the fault in segments, reducing troubleshooting time and lowering labor costs.

[0050] As can be seen from the above, the embodiments of this disclosure can achieve precise irrigation, stable irrigation, and fault early warning. Specifically, the real-time monitoring of soil moisture by the soil moisture sensor 102 enables on-demand irrigation, avoiding water waste; the zoned control of the first solenoid valve 101 improves the flexibility and precision of irrigation. Simultaneously, the flow sensor 106 can promptly detect abnormal water flow, triggering the alarm 104 for early warning, facilitating rapid fault diagnosis and reducing losses.

[0051] In one embodiment of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 3 The spray module 105 includes a remote spray unit and a local spray unit;

[0052] The control system also includes timer 107;

[0053] The remote spray unit, the local spray unit, and the timer 107 are all connected to the controller 103;

[0054] The remote sprinkler unit is configured to irrigate the trees in the first area, and the short-range sprinkler unit is configured to irrigate the trees in the second area.

[0055] In this embodiment, the long-range sprinkler unit has a longer nozzle range, making it suitable for areas relatively far from the water source or control center to meet the irrigation needs of trees in the first area. The short-range sprinkler unit has a shorter nozzle range, making it suitable for areas relatively close to the water source or control center. The timer 107 can trigger the controller 103 to execute the corresponding irrigation task according to a preset time interval. For example, the long-range sprinkler unit can be started first for watering, and when the timer 107 reaches the set time point, the long-range sprinkler unit can be turned off, and the short-range sprinkler unit can be started for watering. This ensures that the soil around the trees / flowers is evenly irrigated.

[0056] As can be seen from the above, this embodiment, by introducing remote and local sprinkler units and combining them with timer 107, achieves differentiated irrigation for trees at different distances, ensuring the uniformity of irrigation. This micro-sprinkler control system in this embodiment not only improves irrigation efficiency but also optimizes water resource utilization and reduces waste.

[0057] In one embodiment of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 3 The garden low-level micro-sprinkler control system also includes:

[0058] Photovoltaic power generation device 108, energy storage battery pack 109 and first switch 110;

[0059] The photovoltaic power generation device 108 is connected to the energy storage battery pack 109. Both the photovoltaic power generation device 108 and the energy storage battery pack 109 are connected to the input terminal of the first switch 110. The output terminal of the first switch 110 is connected to the controller 103.

[0060] The photovoltaic power generation device 108 and the energy storage battery pack 109 are both connected to the controller 103.

[0061] In this embodiment, the photovoltaic power generation device 108 can be a solar photovoltaic panel, which typically consists of multiple solar cell units. These panels capture sunlight and convert it into electrical energy, providing a green and sustainable power supply for the entire garden low-level micro-sprinkler control system under sufficient sunlight conditions. This helps reduce the system's operating costs and minimize environmental impact. The energy storage battery pack 109 can be a lithium-ion battery pack, a lead-acid battery pack, or other types of energy storage batteries. These battery packs can store the electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic power generation device 108 and release it for system use when needed. The first switch 110 can be a power switch, circuit breaker, or relay, or other power control equipment. These switching devices can control the on / off supply of power from the photovoltaic power generation device 108 and the energy storage battery pack 109 to the controller 103, ensuring a safe and reliable power supply.

[0062] As can be seen from the above, by integrating the photovoltaic power generation device 108, the energy storage battery pack 109, and the first switch 110, the garden low-level micro-sprinkler control system achieves energy self-sufficiency and flexible management. This not only improves the system's independence and stability but also enables the system to better adapt to irrigation needs under different environments and conditions, thereby improving overall performance and irrigation effectiveness.

[0063] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the photovoltaic power generation device 108 includes:

[0064] Photovoltaic power generation unit, current detection unit, and photovoltaic control unit;

[0065] The photovoltaic power generation unit and the current detection unit are both connected to the photovoltaic control unit, which is connected to the controller 103.

[0066] In this embodiment, the photovoltaic power generation unit can convert light energy into electrical energy, and the current detection unit can detect the magnitude and changes of the current in real time to ensure that the photovoltaic power generation unit operates under safe and efficient conditions. The photovoltaic control unit can receive command signals from the controller 103 and control the working state of the photovoltaic power generation unit according to the command signals from the controller 103.

[0067] As can be seen from the above, the connection between the photovoltaic power generation device 108 and the controller 103 enables the entire garden low-level micro-sprinkler control system to form a whole. The electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic power generation device 108 can be directly supplied to the controller 103 and other system components, realizing efficient energy utilization and coordinated system operation.

[0068] In one embodiment of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 4 The garden low-level micro-sprinkler control system also includes:

[0069] Each branch of the spray pipe has a dosing module 111, which includes a dosing pump 1111, a dosing control unit 1112, a stirrer 1113, and a second solenoid valve 1114.

[0070] The dosing control unit 1112 is connected to the controller 103, and the dosing control unit 1112 is also connected to the dosing pump 1111, the agitator 1113, and the second solenoid valve 1114.

[0071] In this embodiment, the dosing pump 1111 can extract the required agents (such as fertilizers, pesticides, plant growth regulators, etc.) from the dosing tank and deliver them to the plant roots or leaves through a branch of the spray pipe. The dosing control unit 1112 is the core part of the dosing module 111. It receives command signals from the controller 103 and controls the working status of the dosing pump 1111, the agitator 1113, and the second solenoid valve 1114 according to these signals. The agitator 1113 is usually installed in the dosing tank and is used to mix the agent evenly with an appropriate amount of water or other solvent before the agent is added. The operation of the agitator 1113 can ensure that the agent is fully dissolved or dispersed, thereby improving the utilization rate of the agent and the spraying effect.

[0072] The second solenoid valve 1114 is used to control the opening and closing of the chemical pipeline branch. When chemical needs to be added, the second solenoid valve 1114 opens, allowing the chemical to be delivered to the spray head through the pipeline; when chemical does not need to be added, the second solenoid valve 1114 closes to prevent chemical leakage or accidental spraying. Precise control of the second solenoid valve 1114 ensures accurate addition and spraying of the chemical.

[0073] As can be seen from the above, the garden low-level micro-spraying control system in this embodiment achieves precise addition and spraying of pesticides by adding a pesticide dosing module 111. The pesticide dosing control unit 1112 works in conjunction with the controller 103 to ensure that pesticides are supplied on demand, thereby improving resource utilization. The application of the stirrer 1113 promotes uniform mixing of the pesticides and enhances the spraying effect.

[0074] In one embodiment of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 3 The garden low-level micro-sprinkler control system also includes:

[0075] Terminal display 112;

[0076] The terminal display 112 is connected to the controller 103.

[0077] In this embodiment, the terminal display 112 serves as the human-machine interface, intuitively displaying key data such as the system's operating status, parameter settings, and alarm information. Operators can observe the information on the terminal display 112 to understand the overall situation of the garden low-level micro-sprinkler control system in real time, thereby making timely and accurate decisions.

[0078] As can be seen from the above, the introduction of the terminal display 112 greatly improves the operability and maintainability of the garden low-level micro-sprinkler control system. Operators can use the interface on the display to set parameters, select modes, and view the system's historical operation records, alarm logs, and other information, facilitating troubleshooting and system maintenance.

[0079] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure, and are not intended to limit it. Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
