[0002] Citrus fruits are a common fruit. The pulp has the effect of stimulating saliva production and improving appetite, while the peel can be used medicinally, being an excellent remedy for preventing internal heat. Rich in Vitamin C and citric acid, citrus fruits have beauty-enhancing and fatigue-relieving effects, making them popular with many. After planting, citrus seedlings require irrigation and care. Currently, irrigation of citrus seedlings is mostly done manually, which is inefficient and consumes a lot of manpower.

[0003] For example, patent CN209105849U discloses an irrigation device for citrus cultivation. It irrigates citrus seedlings by spraying water from nozzles. A first motor drives a rotating plate and housing to rotate, which in turn rotates the water spray pipes, allowing the water to be sprayed further and over a wider area, thus improving irrigation efficiency. However, in citrus cultivation, during the fruit enlargement period, the increased weight often causes branches to droop or even break. This device can only provide supplemental irrigation for citrus, requiring additional support for the fruit, resulting in high costs and a large overall footprint. Furthermore, it is prone to interference during operation, leading to low operational efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, this utility model proposes a citrus hanging fruit sprinkler irrigation device, which can solve the problems of high cost and large space occupation caused by the current need to use support equipment to support the fruit and irrigation equipment to irrigate it.

[0031] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0032] As shown in Figures 1 to 6, this utility model provides a citrus hanging fruit sprinkler irrigation device, which includes a frame 1, a support mechanism 3, and a sprinkler irrigation mechanism 4. The frame 1 includes a main rod 11, on which an installation mechanism 2 is provided. Multiple support feet 12 are provided at the bottom of the main rod 11, and the support feet 12 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the main rod 11. A cavity 13 is formed inside the main rod 11. The support mechanism 3 includes multiple branch rods 31, which are distributed around the circumference of the frame 1. Multiple elastic nets 32 are provided on the branch rods 31 at intervals. The sprinkler irrigation mechanism 4 includes a main pipe 41 disposed in the cavity 13. Multiple sprinkler pipes 42 are connected to the main pipe 41. Each sprinkler pipe 42 is disposed on a branch rod 31, and multiple rotating nozzles 43 are provided on the sprinkler pipes 42 at intervals.

[0033] The main pole 11 extends along its height, and its bottom is supported and fixed by multiple support feet 12. The mounting mechanism 2 on the main pole 11 is used to secure it to the main branches of the citrus tree, thus ensuring the overall stability of the support frame 1 and preventing it from tipping over or shifting due to wind or fruit weight. Multiple branch poles 31 are spaced circumferentially around the main pole 11. These branch poles 31 correspond to the branches of the citrus tree, and the elastic netting 32 on the branch poles 31 supports the fruit, effectively preventing branches from drooping or even breaking due to increased fruit weight during the fruit enlargement period. The main pipe 41 delivers water to the sprinkler pipes 42. By placing the main pipe 41 within the cavity 13 of the main pole 11, it is protected, ensuring a stable water supply. Each sprinkler pipe 42 sprays water onto the fruit on its respective branch pole 31, achieving precise irrigation. Furthermore, the use of rotating nozzles 43 allows for easy adjustment of the spray angle based on fruit position, achieving complete tree coverage and solving problems such as uneven irrigation or water waste. This citrus hanging sprinkler irrigation device integrates the hanging device and the sprinkler irrigation device. Compared with using two separate devices for sprinkler irrigation and support, this device can effectively support the fruit while simultaneously irrigating and watering the citrus. The overall space occupied by the device is small, and it is less likely to cause interference during operation, thus effectively improving operating efficiency.

[0034] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the main rod 11 along its extension direction can be circular or rectangular, etc. In this embodiment, the main rod 11 is a square tube, and the main rod 11 is made of corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy or fiberglass. Each support leg 12 is fixed to the bottom of the main rod 11 by means of welding or screwing, thereby providing stable support for the main rod 11. In actual use, each support leg 12 can be supported on the ground to provide stable support for the main rod 11. In addition, each support leg 12 can be inserted into the soil and compacted to provide support.

[0035] In some embodiments, both the main pole 11 and the branch pole 31 are telescopic poles. The telescopic nature of the poles allows the device to be flexibly adjusted according to the height of the citrus tree and the distribution of the fruit, better adapting to citrus trees of different heights and fruits in different positions. By adjusting the lengths of the main pole 11 and the branch pole 31, the elastic netting 32 can be accurately placed under the fruit, ensuring effective support and improving the device's applicability and flexibility while reducing costs. Optionally, the length of the branch pole 31 can be adjusted from 0.5 meters to 1.5 meters to accommodate fruits in different positions on the citrus tree.

[0036] In some embodiments, the mounting mechanism 2 includes a ring seat 21 disposed on the main stem 11. A mounting position 22 is provided through the center of the ring seat 21. The ring seat 21 has a first end 23 and a second end 24 spaced apart along its circumferential direction. A mounting hole 25 is formed between the first end 23 and the second end 24, communicating with the mounting position 22. Each of the first end 23 and the second end 24 is provided with a mounting part 26, which is connected to the other two mounting parts 26 by a detachable member 27. The main branch of the citrus tree is placed in the mounting position 22 through the mounting hole 25, and then the two mounting parts 26 are detachably connected by the detachable member 27, thereby firmly fixing the main stem 11 to the main branch of the citrus tree. This ensures both quick assembly and disassembly while maintaining a secure fixation effect. Furthermore, it allows for flexible adjustment based on the different diameters of the main branch, improving the applicability of the device. In addition, the ring seat 21 structure can evenly distribute the pressure on the main branch of the citrus tree, preventing damage due to excessive local stress.

[0037] Of course, in some embodiments, in order to ensure that the main branch of the citrus tree can be stably installed in the mounting position 22 through the mounting hole 25, the ring seat 21 is made of elastic material. The ring seat 21 can undergo a certain deformation during the assembly process with the main branch of the citrus tree, which facilitates assembly and avoids damage to the main branch of the citrus tree.

[0038] The detachable component 27 includes bolts, screws, or clips. In this embodiment, the detachable component 27 uses bolts to connect the two mounting parts 26 through bolt threads, thereby achieving detachable fixation between the two mounting parts 26.

[0039] Of course, in some embodiments, the ring seat 21 may also have two or more mounting holes 25, each of which is detachably connected by two mounting parts 26 and a detachable part 27, which can further improve the adaptability range to the diameter of the main branch of the citrus tree.

[0040] Optionally, the ring seat 21 has an inner wall surface, on which a flexible element 28 is provided. The ring seat 21 is fastened to the main branch of the citrus tree through the flexible element 28. The flexible element 28 can play a role in buffering and protection, effectively reducing friction and wear between the ring seat 21 and the main branch of the citrus tree, and extending the life of the main branch of the citrus tree. In addition, the flexible element 28 can also provide a certain anti-slip effect, enhance the stability of the ring seat 21 and the main branch of the citrus tree, and prevent loosening or displacement due to vibration or external force. The flexible element 28 includes rubber pads, silicone pads, or foam pads, etc. In this embodiment, the flexible element 28 is a rubber pad.

[0041] As shown in Figures 1 to 6, in some embodiments, the branch rod 31 is hinged to the main rod 11, and the main rod 11 is provided with multiple fixing components 5, each of which is used to support and fix the branch rod 31. The hinged connection of the branch rod 31 to the main rod 11 allows for flexible adjustment according to the shape of the citrus tree and the distribution of the fruit, better adapting to different growth forms of citrus trees and improving the applicability and flexibility of the device.

[0042] Optionally, the hinge structure between the branch rod 31 and the main rod 11 can adopt any of the existing technologies, such as a spherical hinge, a universal hinge, or a gear hinge. In this embodiment, the branch rod 31 and the main rod 11 are connected by a gear hinge, which includes a gear assembly and a caliper assembly. The gear assembly includes a meshing driving gear and a driven gear. The driving gear is mounted on the branch rod 31, and the driven gear is mounted on the main rod 11. The caliper assembly includes a caliper body and an adjusting bolt. The caliper body is used to fix the gear assembly, and the adjusting bolt is used to control the clamping force of the caliper on the gear. By tightening or loosening the adjusting bolt, the gear can be fixed or released, thereby adjusting the opening angle of the branch rod 31.

[0043] In some embodiments, the branch rod 31 is provided with a plurality of rings 34 spaced apart. The fixing component 5 includes a support rod 51 disposed below the branch rod 31. One end of the support rod 51 is movably connected to the main rod 11, and the other end of the support rod 51 is provided with a hook 52, which engages with the rings 34. The support rod 51 is located below the branch rod 31, with one end movably connected to the main rod 11 and the other end hooked onto the rings 34 of the branch rod 31 via the hook 52. Thus, the area enclosed by the support rod 51, the main rod 11, and the branch rod 31 is arranged in a triangular shape, thereby supporting the branch rod 31 and ensuring the stability of the support. Furthermore, by adjusting the opening angle of the branch rod 31, the support rod 51 can be engaged with the corresponding ring 34, facilitating operation and ensuring the stability of the branch rod 31 in different states.

[0044] Of course, the connection between the support rod 51 and the main rod 11 can be a hinged connection, such as a spherical hinge, a universal hinge, or a gear hinge. In this embodiment, hooks 52 are provided at both ends of the support rod 51, and a ring 34 is also provided on the main rod 11. The support rod 51 is movably mounted on the main rod 11 by hooking the hooks 52 and the ring 34, and the support rod 51 can swing relative to the main rod 11 to adapt to the branch rods 31 with different opening angles.

[0045] In some embodiments, the surface of the branch pole 31 is coated with a reflective coating that reflects light at night or in low visibility conditions, making the branch pole 31 more conspicuous and thus serving as a warning. At night or in low-light environments, the reflective coating significantly improves the visibility of the branch pole 31, thereby increasing operational efficiency.

[0046] In some embodiments, the elastic net 32 ​​has an elastic drawstring 33 along its edge, which is tied to the adjacent ring 34. The elastic net 32 ​​can be made of materials such as polyester fiber or nylon mesh. To ensure the support effect of the elastic net 32 ​​on the fruit, the mesh diameter of the elastic net 32 ​​is less than or equal to 3 cm to prevent small fruits from falling out. The elastic net 32 ​​effectively supports the citrus fruit, preventing it from falling due to its own weight or external force, thus protecting the integrity of the fruit. The elastic drawstring 33 allows the elastic net 32 ​​to be flexibly adjusted according to the size and shape of the fruit, ensuring that the net tightly wraps the fruit without damaging it. By tying the elastic drawstring 33 to the adjacent ring 34, a stable connection between the elastic net 32 ​​and the branch rod 31 is achieved, further enhancing the overall stability of the device.

[0047] Of course, in different application scenarios, the elastic net 32 ​​can be detached and replaced with different aperture models to adapt to the size of citrus fruits at different growth stages.

[0048] Optionally, the rings 34 are evenly spaced on the branch rod 31. The distance between two adjacent rings 34 can be 5 cm to 15 cm, and more specifically, the distance between two adjacent rings 34 is 10 cm. The evenly distributed rings 34 provide fixed connection points for the installation of the elastic net 32 ​​and the sprinkler pipe 42, ensuring the overall structural stability of the device.

[0049] In some embodiments, a connector 6 is provided between the irrigation pipe 42 and the corresponding branch rod 31. The connector 6 includes a connecting body 61, on which a first slot 62 and a second slot 63 are provided. The irrigation pipe 42 is engaged in the first slot 62, and the branch rod 31 is engaged in the second slot 63. The connector 6 makes the connection between the irrigation pipe 42 and the branch rod 31 more stable and reliable, effectively preventing the irrigation pipe 42 from loosening or falling off due to water flow impact or external force during use. At the same time, the slot-type connection method makes the installation and disassembly of the irrigation pipe 42 and the branch rod 31 more convenient and quick, improving the maintenance and replacement efficiency of the device.

[0050] Optionally, the sprinkler pipe 42 can be a silicone hose, a polyethylene hose, or a polyurethane hose, etc. In this embodiment, the sprinkler pipe 42 uses a flexible silicone hose, which has excellent flexibility, can be easily bent and stretched, adapts to the reciprocating swing of the branch pole 31, and can also reduce installation difficulty and time. The silicone hose also has excellent weather resistance, and can maintain stable performance when exposed to harsh environments such as ultraviolet rays, high temperatures and low temperatures for a long time outdoors. At the same time, silicone is an environmentally friendly material, non-toxic and odorless, and will not pollute crops or the environment.

[0051] The irrigation pipe 42 is equipped with multiple rotating nozzles 43 spaced apart. The rotating nozzles 43 have adjustable tilt angles, with a spacing of 40 to 50 centimeters between adjacent nozzles. The angle adjustment range of the rotating nozzles 43 is 15 to 60 degrees, enabling precise irrigation of the citrus fruit. Water can be evenly sprayed onto the fruit and surrounding soil according to the fruit's distribution and growth needs. The rotating nozzles 43 provide a wider irrigation range and more uniform irrigation effect, effectively improving irrigation efficiency and conserving water resources.

[0052] As shown in Figures 1 to 6, in some embodiments, the sprinkler irrigation mechanism 4 can not only irrigate water resources, but also spray fertilizer. The fertilizer is delivered to the sprinkler pipe 42 through the main pipe 41, and the rotating nozzle 43 of the sprinkler pipe 42 sprays the fertilizer to achieve fertilization of citrus trees.

[0053] In some embodiments, the main pipe 41 is connected to a connector 44, which is detachably connected to the irrigation pipe 42, facilitating the installation, maintenance or replacement of the irrigation pipe 42 and making the operation convenient.

[0054] Optionally, the citrus hanging fruit sprinkler irrigation device also includes a controller. A valve 45 is installed on the main pipe 41, and the controller is connected to the valve 45. The controller automates the sprinkler irrigation process, automatically controlling the opening and closing of the valve 45 according to preset parameters such as time and water volume. This achieves timed and quantitative irrigation, improving irrigation accuracy and efficiency, reducing manual intervention, and lowering labor intensity. Simultaneously, the valve 45 effectively controls the flow and volume of water, ensuring the normal operation of the sprinkler irrigation system and preventing poor irrigation or equipment damage due to excessive or insufficient water flow. The valve 45 can be a solenoid valve or a pneumatic valve; in this embodiment, a full-copper solenoid valve is used and controlled by the controller. Furthermore, the controller can connect to electronic devices such as computers, tablets, or mobile phones via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, enabling remote control of the valve 45.

[0055] In some embodiments, a light sensor and a humidity sensor may also be provided on the branch rod 31. Both the light sensor and the humidity sensor are electrically connected to the controller, which receives the signals transmitted by the light sensor and the humidity sensor to control the opening and closing of the valve 45. In addition, the controller may also be connected to the rotary nozzle 43 to control the rotation angle and water spray volume of the rotary nozzle 43.

[0056] In some embodiments, the citrus hanging fruit sprinkler irrigation device also includes a shade net, which covers the main pole 11 and the branch pole 31. During periods of sustained high temperatures in summer, the shade net can be detachably fixed to the top of the main pole 11. The shade net is tied around the perimeter to the ring 34 of the branch pole 31 by ropes or the like, thereby fixing the shade net. The shade net blocks some sunlight, reducing light intensity and reducing water evaporation.

[0057] In some embodiments, the citrus hanging fruit sprinkler irrigation device also includes a cold-proof cloth, which covers the main pole 11 and the branch pole 31. When the winter is continuously cold and frozen, the cold-proof cloth can be detachably fixed to the top of the main pole 11. The periphery of the cold-proof cloth is tied to the ring 34 of the branch pole 31 by ropes or the like, thereby fixing the cold-proof cloth. The covered cold-proof cloth provides a heat preservation effect and reduces heat loss.

[0058] As an example, in actual use, the multiple support feet 12 at the bottom of the main pole 11 can be inserted into the soil and compacted. Multiple branch poles 31 are installed at the top of the main pole 11, with the rings 34 of the branch poles 31 connected to the hooks 52 of the support poles 51. The elastic net 32 ​​is then used to capture the fruit and tied to the rings 34 of the branch poles 31. The main pipe 41 is laid along the main pole 11 to the top, connecting to multiple irrigation pipes 42 and fixing them to each branch pole 31. The length of the branch poles 31 is adjusted to 1.2 meters or 1.5 meters, the main pipe 41 has a diameter of 2 centimeters, and the irrigation pipes 42 have a diameter of 1 centimeter. Each irrigation pipe 42 has 3 rotating nozzles 43, with a spacing of 40 centimeters or 50 centimeters between adjacent rotating nozzles 43. In sunny weather, when the midday sunlight intensity exceeds 50,000 lux, the controller automatically switches the rotating nozzles 43 to high-frequency atomization mode, irrigating for 15 minutes.

[0059] As shown in Figures 1 to 6, in summary, the citrus fruit-hanging sprinkler irrigation device provided in this application places the citrus fruit inside an elastic net 32, which is fixed to a branch rod 31 and supported by the branch rod 31. When the humidity is detected to be lower than a set threshold, the controller activates the solenoid valve, and water flows through the irrigation pipe 42 and sprays in an umbrella shape from the rotating nozzle 43, covering the area around the citrus tree canopy. Under strong sunlight, the controller adjusts the rotating nozzle 43 to a 60-degree elevation angle to increase the atomization effect and cool the tree. This device integrates support and irrigation functions, which not only reduces the footprint of the equipment but also achieves simultaneous operation of branch hanging, fruit hanging, and irrigation, significantly reducing the production cost of the orchard and bringing tangible economic benefits to fruit farmers. In practical applications, the opening and closing angle of the branch rod 31 and the spraying angle of the nozzle are adjustable, which can accurately adapt to the canopy shape of different citrus trees, ensuring the uniformity of irrigation and ensuring that each citrus tree receives an appropriate amount of water, thereby improving the quality and yield of the fruit.

[0060] Furthermore, the elastic netting 32 effectively distributes the weight of the fruit, significantly reducing branch breakage and fruit drop rates, providing comprehensive protection for citrus trees, ensuring safe fruit growth, and minimizing losses caused by natural factors. It can also dynamically adjust the amount of water used for sprinkler irrigation based on real-time environmental monitoring data, thereby improving water resource utilization efficiency and reducing irrigation costs. Simultaneously, it supports integrated water and fertilizer application, meeting the needs of foliar fertilizer application and adapting to the production requirements of different growth stages of citrus, providing comprehensive support for citrus growth.

[0061] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
