Abstract
Description
A photovoltaic-driven small mobile agricultural irrigation device Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural equipment technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic-driven small mobile agricultural irrigation device. Background Technology
[0002] Agricultural sprinkler irrigation is a highly efficient and water-saving mechanized irrigation method. It uses pipes and nozzles to pressurize water and atomize it into fine droplets, which are then evenly sprayed onto the roots or leaves of crops in the field. Unlike traditional flood irrigation, it can precisely control the amount of water according to the growth needs of crops, avoiding water waste and soil compaction.
[0003] Currently, in order to improve green operations in agricultural production, there is a Chinese utility model patent disclosed in publication number CN214902725U: a photovoltaic device with agricultural sprinkler irrigation function. This application uses a sprinkler irrigation component to operate a water pump and draw water from a storage tank through a water pipe. The water enters multiple sprinkler pipes through a water distribution pipe and is sprayed out by the nozzles to achieve sprinkler irrigation of crops. It also generates electricity in conjunction with the photovoltaic panels above it. However, its overall transmission structure is complex. In agricultural sprinkler irrigation operations of a certain area, its structure needs to be extended several times. Although it can increase the amount of photovoltaic power generation, the sprinkler irrigation structure also needs to be added in the same direction, which will increase its production cost. At the same time, the structural length of the sprinkler pipes is fixed. In actual production operations, it is impossible to adjust the length of the sprinkler pipes according to the actual planting area. Even if the length of the sprinkler pipes is adjusted by adding or removing sprinkler pipes, multiple rows of sprinkler pipes need to be added or removed synchronously, which increases the workload and reduces the adjustment efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a small, mobile agricultural irrigation device driven by photovoltaics. The device moves the spray pipe by moving the slider, which ensures uniform irrigation, significantly reduces labor intensity, and is powered by photovoltaics, making it green, environmentally friendly, and energy-saving. It can also flexibly adjust the length of the spray pipe to adapt to different planting areas, and is easy to install and disassemble, effectively solving the problems in the background technology.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A photovoltaic-driven small mobile agricultural irrigation device includes a guide rail and a pipe-laying device. Several pillars are fixedly connected to one side of the guide rail, and several hanging rods are slidably connected to the guide rail. A slider is also movably connected to the guide rail. The slider includes a frame, and motors are fixedly connected to both sides of the frame. The pipe-laying device and the motors are electrically connected to an external main controller via connecting wires. The output end of the motor extends into the frame and is fixedly connected to a drive gear. Two driven gears are rotatably connected to both sides of the frame, meshing with the drive gears. Two shaft plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the frame near the driven gears.

Spray pipes are fixedly connected to both ends of the T-shaped pipe, and a connecting end is fixedly connected to one end of each spray pipe. A sealing plug is movably connected to one side of the connecting end.
[0007] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, two positioning wheels are symmetrically rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the frame. The positioning wheels also roll on the guide rail. A bracket is fixedly connected to the frame above the motor. A photovoltaic panel is fixedly connected to one of the brackets. An energy storage module is fixedly connected to the hanger above the three-way pipe. The energy storage module is electrically connected to an external main controller via a connecting wire. The photovoltaic panel is also electrically connected to the energy storage module via a connecting wire. When the photovoltaic panel receives sunlight and generates electricity, it will be stored in the energy storage module to power the motor.
[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a flexible hose is wound around the hose, one end of which is connected to an external delivery pump, and the other end of which passes through several suspension rods and is fixedly connected to one end of a tee pipe.
[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the drive wheel mentioned above is connected to the corresponding driven gear through a transmission shaft, so that the motor drives the two corresponding driven gears to rotate synchronously through the drive gear. Thus, the driven gear drives the drive wheel to roll on the guide rail through the transmission shaft, thereby realizing the horizontal movement of the entire slider on the guide rail.
[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the frame is symmetrically rotatably connected to two positioning wheels on both the front and rear sides, and the positioning wheels are also rotatably connected to one side of the guide rail, which can improve the stability of the slider moving on the guide rail.
[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a second ring is fixedly connected to the lower end of the bracket to provide suspension points for multiple spray pipes.
[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a connecting screw is fixedly connected to the end of the spray pipe away from the connecting end.
[0013] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, one end of the connecting end is fixedly connected to a positioning ring, and the inner side of the positioning ring is provided with a slope.
[0014] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a connecting screw groove is provided on the inner side of the connecting end, and the connecting screw groove is threadedly connected to a connecting screw tube at one end of another spray pipe. A shaft bracket is fixedly connected to the connecting end near the positioning ring, and a limit bracket is inserted into the connecting end near the connecting screw groove. A connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the middle of the limit bracket, and the end of the connecting shaft away from the limit bracket is threaded into the sealing plug through the shaft bracket. A compression spring is fitted on the connecting shaft located between the shaft bracket and the limit bracket. When the connecting screw tube at one end of the other spray pipe is threaded into the connecting screw groove, it will push the limit bracket to one side, thereby pushing the sealing plug out of the positioning ring through the connecting shaft transmission, realizing the connection between the two spray pipes. Conversely, when the connecting screw groove is not threaded with a connecting screw tube, the limit bracket is pushed by the force of the compression spring, so that the limit bracket pulls the sealing plug through the positioning ring through the connecting shaft, thereby closing the channel at one end of the spray pipe.
[0015] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a first ring is fixedly connected to the outside of the spray pipe near the connecting end, and the first ring is connected to the corresponding second ring by a steel cable.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] In this invention, photovoltaic panels generate electricity and store it in an energy storage module, which then powers a slider. The slider, equipped with a drive wheel and a positioning wheel, moves on a guide rail, effectively saving traditional energy. Combined with flexible hoses and sprinkler pipes, irrigation water can be evenly sprayed onto the crop area, ensuring irrigation effectiveness while avoiding water waste. The sprinkler pipes can be quickly spliced or disassembled through the connection ends, eliminating the need to simultaneously add or remove multiple rows of sprinkler pipes. This allows it to adapt to planting areas of different sizes, significantly reducing the intensity of adjustment work and improving adaptation efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0025] As shown in Figures 1-5, this utility model provides a photovoltaic-driven small mobile agricultural irrigation device, including a guide rail 1 and a pipe-laying device 2. Several support pillars 3 are fixedly connected to one side of the guide rail 1, and several hanging rods 4 are slidably connected to the guide rail 1. A slider 5 is also movably connected to the guide rail 1. The slider 5 includes a frame 6, and motors 7 are fixedly connected to both sides of the frame 6. The pipe-laying device 2 and the motors 7 are electrically connected to an external main controller via connecting wires. The output end of the motor 7 extends into the frame 6 and is fixedly connected to a drive gear 8. The pipe-laying device 2 and the motors 7 are respectively connected to an external main controller via connecting wires. Two driven gears 9 are rotatably connected, and the driven gears 9 mesh with the driving gears 8. Two shaft plates 29 are fixedly connected to both sides of the frame 6 near the driven gears 9. Two drive wheels 10 are rotatably connected to one side of the shaft plates 29. The drive wheels 10 also roll on the guide rail 1. A hanger 14 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the frame 6. A three-way pipe 16 is fixedly connected inside the hanger 14. Spray pipes 17 are fixedly connected to both ends of the three-way pipe 16. A connecting end 18 is fixedly connected to one end of the spray pipe 17. A sealing plug 20 is movably connected to one side of the connecting end 18.
[0026] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the frame 6 has two symmetrically rotating positioning wheels 11 on both the front and rear sides. The positioning wheels 11 also roll on the guide rail 1. The frame 6, located above the motor 7, is fixedly connected to a bracket 12. A photovoltaic panel 13 is fixedly connected to one of the brackets 12. An energy storage module 15 is fixedly connected inside the hanger 14 located above the three-way pipe 16. The energy storage module 15 is electrically connected to an external main controller via a connecting wire, and the photovoltaic panel 13 is electrically connected to the energy storage module 15 via a connecting wire. When the photovoltaic panel 13 receives sunlight and generates electricity, it will be stored in the energy storage module 15 to power the motor 7.
[0027] As shown in Figure 1, a flexible hose 30 is wound around the hose 2. One end of the flexible hose 30 is connected to an external delivery pump, and the other end of the flexible hose 30 passes through several hangers 4 in sequence and is fixedly connected to one end of a three-way pipe 16.
[0028] As shown in Figures 2-5, the upper drive wheel 10 is connected to the corresponding driven gear 9 via a transmission shaft, so that the motor 7 synchronously drives the two corresponding driven gears 9 to rotate via the drive gear 8. Thus, the driven gear 9 drives the drive wheel 10 to roll on the guide rail 1 via the transmission shaft, realizing the horizontal movement of the entire slider 5 on the guide rail 1. The front and rear sides of the frame 6 are symmetrically connected to two positioning wheels 11, which are also rolled on one side of the guide rail 1, thereby improving the stability of the slider 5 moving on the guide rail 1. The lower end of the bracket 12 is fixedly connected to a second ring buckle 21, which is used to provide suspension points for multiple spray pipes 17. The end of the spray pipe 17 away from the connecting end 18 is fixedly connected to a connecting screw tube 22. One end of the connecting end 18 is fixedly connected to a positioning ring 24. The inner side of the positioning ring 24 is provided with a slope. The inner side of the connecting end 18 is provided with a connecting screw groove 23, which is threadedly connected to the connecting screw tube 22 at one end of another spray pipe 17. A shaft bracket 25 is fixedly connected inside the connecting end 18 near the positioning ring 24. A limit bracket 27 is inserted into the connecting end 18 near the connecting screw groove 23. A connecting shaft 26 is fixedly connected to the middle of the limit bracket 27. The end of the connecting shaft 26 away from the limit bracket 27 passes through the shaft bracket 25 and is threaded into the sealing plug 20. A compression spring 28 is fitted on the connecting shaft 26 located between the shaft bracket 25 and the limit bracket 27. When the connecting screw tube 22 at one end of the other spray pipe 17 is threaded... After being connected into the connecting screw groove 23, the limiting frame 27 will be pushed to one side, thereby driving the sealing plug 20 from the positioning ring 24 through the connecting shaft 26, so as to connect the channels of the two spray pipes 17. Conversely, when the connecting screw groove 23 is threaded and has a connecting screw tube 22, the limiting frame 27 will be pushed by the force of the compression spring 28, so that the limiting frame 27 will pull the sealing plug 20 through the connecting shaft 26 to insert and connect it into the positioning ring 24, thereby closing the channel of one end of the spray pipe 17.
[0029] As shown in Figure 2, a first ring buckle 19 is fixedly connected to the outside of the spray pipe 17 near the connection end 18. The first ring buckle 19 and the corresponding second ring buckle 21 are connected by a steel cable.
[0030] It should be noted that this utility model is a photovoltaic-driven small mobile agricultural irrigation device. When in use, the guide rail 1 is first installed in a suitable position in the farmland by the support column 3 to ensure that the guide rail 1 is kept horizontal. Then, the hose 30 wrapped on the hose releaser 2 is connected to an external delivery pump at one end, and the other end is passed through multiple hanging rods 4 in sequence and fixed to the three-way pipe 16. The hanging rods 4 can support and guide the hose 30 to avoid dragging and friction damage to the hose 30.
[0031] Subsequently, the photovoltaic panel 13 is fixed on the bracket 12, continuously converting solar energy into electrical energy under sunlight conditions. This electrical energy is then transmitted to the energy storage module 15 via a connecting line for storage. Before irrigation, the length of the sprinkler pipe 17 can be adjusted according to the planting area of the farmland. When lengthening is required, the connecting screw 22 of another sprinkler pipe 17 is aligned with the connecting screw groove 23 of the connecting end 18 of the first sprinkler pipe 17, and then rotated and tightened to achieve splicing. During the splicing process, the connecting screw 22 will push the limiting frame 27, which will cause the sealing plug 20 to disengage from the positioning ring 24 through the connecting shaft 26, thus connecting the channels of the two sprinkler pipes 17. When no lengthening is required, the compression spring 28 inside the connecting end 18 pushes the limiting frame 27, which in turn pulls the sealing plug 20 through the connecting shaft 26. The positioning ring 24 is tightly fitted to achieve channel sealing and prevent water leakage. Therefore, during sprinkler irrigation, the external main controller sends a command to the energy storage module 15 to supply power to the motor 7, controlling the operation of the motor 7. The output end of the motor 7 drives the drive gear 8 to rotate, and the drive gear 8 drives the driven gear 9 to rotate. The drive wheel 10 connected to the driven gear 9 then rolls on the guide rail 1. At the same time, the positioning wheels 11 on the front and rear sides of the frame 6 roll synchronously on the guide rail 1, ensuring that the slider 5 moves smoothly horizontally along the guide rail 1. At this time, the external delivery pump draws out water and delivers it to the three-way pipe 16 through the hose 30. Then, the three-way pipe 16 splits the water to the sprinkler pipes 17 at both ends, and finally, the water is evenly sprayed onto the crop area through the outlet end of the sprinkler pipe 17 to complete the irrigation operation.
