[0002] Existing drip irrigation systems can provide targeted and quantitative irrigation based on the water requirements of plants, thereby saving water resources. However, the required water volume for drip irrigation varies depending on the crop's water needs and the terrain. To address these technical issues, those skilled in the art have developed solutions by using drip emitters of different diameters to achieve different irrigation speeds in different areas. For example, CN 106358990 B discloses a water-saving drip irrigation device.

[0027] As mentioned in the background section, to address the problems existing in the prior art, this embodiment provides a modular adjustable angle segmented drip irrigation device, comprising:
[0028] Main pipe 1 is connected to an external water source. Main pipe 1 has at least one output end, and the output end is connected to a retractable pipe 2.
[0029] Drip irrigation mechanism 3 is connected to the free end of the retractable pipe 2 and is used for drip irrigation operations;
[0030] An adjustment mechanism is independently provided and located below the retractable pipe 2. The adjustment mechanism includes at least one support member 41, and an adjustment component is provided on the top of the support member 41. The adjustment component is used to support the retractable pipe 2 and also to adjust the extension direction of the retractable pipe 2.
[0031] like Figure 1As shown, the first direction is the vertical direction in the figure, and the second direction is the horizontal direction in the figure. The main pipeline 1 has an input end for connecting to an external water source. The number of its output ends can be adjusted according to actual needs. The output end connects to the telescopic pipeline 2. The telescopic pipeline 2 can be a corrugated pipe or other pipes that can be bent arbitrarily and whose length can be extended and adjusted. The drip irrigation mechanism 3 is connected to the end of the telescopic pipeline 2 away from the main pipeline 1 and is used for drip irrigation operations. The adjustment mechanism is independently set below the telescopic pipeline 2, and the support member 41 can be inserted into the soil. The system is fixed in the soil to support the adjustment component. The adjustment component supports the retractable pipe 2 and adjusts the extension direction of the retractable pipe 2. In use, the plot is divided into different slope sections according to the terrain slope, and different pipe layout schemes are designed for different slope sections. The number of support members 41 is set according to the number of slope sections. Each support member 41 is equipped with an adjustment component. The adjustment component supports the part of the retractable pipe 2 located in the current slope section and adjusts the extension direction of that part of the retractable pipe 2 so that the extension direction of that part of the retractable pipe 2 matches the current slope.
[0032] By setting a retractable pipeline 2 between the main pipeline 1 and the drip irrigation mechanism 3, the relative position of the drip irrigation mechanism 3 and the main pipeline 1 can be adjusted. At the same time, an independent adjustment mechanism is set below the retractable pipeline 2. In different areas, through the cooperation of the retractable pipeline 2 and the adjustment mechanism, the main pipeline 1 and the drip irrigation module can be arranged according to different terrain structures, so as to achieve a modular and adjustable angle segmented drip irrigation arrangement according to different terrain structure requirements.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment,
[0034] The support member 41 has mounting holes extending in the first direction;
[0035] The adjustment assembly includes a substrate 42, which extends along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and the bottom of the substrate 42 has an extension 421.
[0036] The extension 421 is slidably connected to the mounting hole.
[0037] like Figure 1As shown, the support member 41 extends along a first direction, and the mounting hole is opened at the top of the support member 41 and extends along the axial direction of the support member 41. The base plate 42 includes a main body and an extension 421. The main body is approximately a cuboid plate structure, and the extension 421 is a cylindrical structure that can be inserted into the mounting hole. The support member 41 has a plurality of first connecting holes distributed along its own length direction. The first connecting holes extend along a second direction. The extension 421 has a second connecting hole corresponding to the first connecting hole. By sliding the extension 421 in the mounting hole, the relative position of the base plate 42 and the support member 41 can be adjusted, thereby changing the height of the adjustment component in the vertical direction. The base plate 42 and the support member 41 can be fixed relative to each other by a pin passing through the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole. In this embodiment, the base plate 42 and the support member 41 are fixed by a pin connection. In other embodiments of this application, adjustments can be made according to the actual situation, and no special limitation is made here.
[0038] In a preferred embodiment, a first groove extending along a second direction is provided on the top of the substrate 42, and two movable plates 43 distributed along the second direction are provided on the substrate 42, both of which are slidably disposed in the first groove.
[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the first groove is opened on the side of the base plate 42 away from the support member 41 and extends along the second direction. The movable plate 43 is also approximately a cuboid plate structure. The two movable plates 43 are distributed in the first groove along the second direction and can slide along the first groove. By adjusting the relative distance between the two movable plates 43 along the second direction, the support and adjustment range of the adjustment component for the telescopic pipe 2 can be changed, which makes it easier to increase the contact area with the telescopic pipe 2.
[0040] In a preferred embodiment, an adjusting member 44 is provided on the side of the two movable plates 43 that are far apart from each other. The adjusting member 44 can move relative to the movable plates 43 in a first direction, and the free ends of the two adjusting members 44 respectively support the telescopic pipe 2.
[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, two adjusting members 44 are respectively located on the opposite sides of the two moving plates 43. The free end of the adjusting member 44 can support the telescopic pipe 2. By adjusting the two moving plates 43, the length of the telescopic pipe 2 supported by the two adjusting members 44 can be adjusted. The two moving plates 43 are both set at the same height on the base plate 42. With the two moving plates 43 as a reference, the two adjusting members 44 can be adjusted synchronously or asynchronously in the first direction, thereby adjusting the extension direction of the telescopic pipe 2 supported by the two adjusting members 44.
[0042] In a preferred embodiment, a second slide groove is provided on the side of the two movable plates 43 that are far apart from each other. The second slide groove extends along the first direction, and the ends of the two adjusting members 44 near the movable plates 43 are slidably disposed in the second slide groove.
[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, two second sliding grooves are respectively opened on the sides of the two moving plates 43 that are far apart from each other along the first direction. Two adjusting members 44 can slide along the two second sliding grooves respectively, thereby adjusting the extension direction of the telescopic pipe 2 supported by the two adjusting members 44. Further, a plurality of third connecting holes extending along the second direction are opened at the bottom of the second sliding groove. The plurality of third connecting holes are distributed along the first direction. A fourth connecting hole is opened at the end of the adjusting member 44 near the moving plate 43 corresponding to the third connecting hole. The adjusting member 44 and the moving plate 43 can be fixed relative to each other by means of a pin penetrating through the third connecting hole and the fourth connecting hole. In this embodiment, the adjusting member 44 and the moving plate 43 are fixed by means of a pin connection. In other embodiments of this application, adjustments can be made according to the actual situation, and no special limitation is made here.
[0044] In a preferred embodiment, at least one support plate 45 is provided in the first chute between the two movable plates 43, and an auxiliary support member 46 is provided on the support plate 45. The auxiliary support member 46 is used to support the telescopic pipe 2 between the two adjusting members 44.
[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the support plate 45 is also a cuboid plate structure. The support plate 45 is located in the first sliding groove and can slide between the two movable plates 43. The auxiliary support member 46 is located on the support plate 45. The end of the auxiliary support plate 45 away from the support plate 45 can support the portion of the telescopic pipe 2 located between the two adjusting members 44, so as to prevent the portion of the telescopic pipe 2 located between the two adjusting members 44 from bending when the distance between the two adjusting members 44 is large, thereby affecting the water supply. In other embodiments of this application, the number of support plates 45 and auxiliary support members 46 can be adjusted according to the actual situation. When the portion of the telescopic pipe 2 supported by the two adjusting members 44 is long, the number of support plates 45 and auxiliary support members 46 can be appropriately increased to provide stable support for the portion of the telescopic pipe 2 between the two adjusting members 44.
[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the drip irrigation mechanism 3 includes a drip irrigation pipe 31, which is connected to the end of the retractable pipeline 2 away from the main pipeline 1, and a plurality of drip heads 32 are distributed on the drip irrigation pipe 31 along its length.
[0047] like Figure 2As shown, drippers 32 are distributed sequentially along the length of drip irrigation pipe 31. The drippers 32 are pressure-compensated drippers 32. The drippers 32 are placed on the soil surface or shallowly buried for protection. The water flow passes through tiny channels, reducing the pressure and being applied to the soil in a dripping manner.
[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the drip irrigation mechanism 3 further includes a control valve, which includes a valve body 33 located inside the drip irrigation pipe 31 between the retractable pipe 2 and the dripper 32. The valve body 33 is connected to a knob 34, the free end of which passes through the drip irrigation pipe 31 and extends to the outside of the drip irrigation pipe 31.
[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, valve body 33 is located in drip irrigation pipe 31. Valve body 33 is approximately a circular planar structure. When valve body 33 is placed horizontally, its projected area along the length of drip irrigation pipe 31 is the same as the cross-sectional area of the inner diameter of drip irrigation pipe 31, thereby cutting off the water flow in drip irrigation pipe 31. Knob 34 is fixedly connected to valve body 33. The free end of knob 34 extends to the outside of drip irrigation pipe 31. By rotating knob 34, valve body 33 can be rotated inside drip irrigation pipe 31, thereby controlling the flow of water in drip irrigation pipe 31.
[0050] Working principle: First, the plot is divided into different slope sections according to the terrain slope, and the number of support members 41 is set according to the number of slope sections. The support members 41 are inserted into the soil for fixation. The two moving plates 43 are adjusted along the first sliding groove, thereby adjusting the length of the section of the telescopic pipe 2 supported by the two adjusting members 44. According to the terrain of the current slope section, the height of the two adjusting members 44 relative to the moving plates 43 is adjusted synchronously or asynchronously, thereby adjusting the extension direction of this section of the telescopic pipe 2 so that the extension direction of this section of the telescopic pipe 2 matches the current slope. The position of the support plate 45 and the auxiliary support member 46 is adjusted according to the length of this section of the telescopic pipe 2 to provide auxiliary support for this section of the telescopic pipe 2 and prevent this section of the telescopic pipe 2 from bending. Through the cooperation of the telescopic pipe 2 and the adjusting mechanism, the main pipeline 1 and the drip irrigation module can be arranged according to different slope sections, thereby achieving a modular and adjustable angle segmented drip irrigation arrangement according to different terrain structure requirements.
