Description
An automatic root irrigation waterer Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic root irrigation waterer. Background Technology
[0002] In modern agriculture and horticulture management, precision irrigation is one of the key technologies for improving water resource utilization efficiency and promoting healthy plant growth. Traditional watering and fertilization methods (such as initial watering, root irrigation, fertilization, and pesticide application) often suffer from problems such as inaccurate dosage control, soil compaction, or nutrient loss. This is especially problematic for crops requiring precise watering and fertilization, as they struggle to meet the needs of targeted root irrigation. While some existing root irrigation devices can achieve localized watering, they generally suffer from drawbacks such as complex structures, inconvenient operation, or limited functionality. For example, they lack quantitative control, anti-clogging design, or corrosion resistance, leading to low efficiency or short lifespan in practical use. Furthermore, some devices are prone to liquid leakage due to insufficient sealing, or their materials are not resistant to chemical corrosion, making them unsuitable for transporting special liquids such as pesticides and nutrient solutions. To address these issues, there is an urgent need for an automatic root irrigation waterer that is simple in structure, easy to operate, and integrates multiple functions, enabling precise quantitative irrigation, anti-clogging filtration, and corrosion-resistant sealing, while also ensuring flexibility and reliability.

[0034] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the measuring cup 104 is provided with a removable filter screen.
[0035] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a sealing ring is provided at the connection of the threaded structure, and the sealing ring is made of corrosion-resistant rubber.
[0036] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the control switch 107 is a waterproof push-button switch and integrates a flow adjustment knob, which is electrically connected to the liquid pump 101.
[0037] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the infusion tube 103 is a spiral telescopic tube.

[0040] It should be noted that this automatic root irrigation device achieves precise and efficient irrigation of plant roots through the coordinated operation of the pump 101, handle 102, infusion tube 103, and measuring cup 104. Its workflow is as follows: After activating the control switch 107, the pump 101 draws liquid from a supply source (such as a medicine tank or fertilizer container). After preliminary purification by the filtration device (activated carbon layer and stainless steel filter screen) at the inlet end, the liquid enters the spiral telescopic infusion tube 103 through the outlet end. The infusion tube 103 delivers the liquid to the hollow infusion channel of the handle 102, and finally flows into the measuring cup 104 through the threaded outlet. The hollow protrusion 108 on the side of the measuring cup 104 ensures a secure connection, and a sealing ring prevents leakage. The liquid accumulates in the transparent polycarbonate measuring cup 104, and the user can observe the liquid volume in real time through the scale 106 and control the speed of the pump 101 through the flow adjustment knob, thereby precisely adjusting the irrigation volume. The removable filter at the bottom of measuring cup 104 traps impurities, while the non-stick coating prevents residue from adhering. After measurement, tilting the handle 102 allows the liquid to flow from the measuring cup 104 directly onto the plant roots.
[0041] In summary, this automatic root irrigation waterer improves the precision and ease of operation of plant irrigation. Through the combination of the graduated measuring cup 104 and the flow adjustment knob, users can precisely control the liquid output, ensuring accurate dosage of pesticides or nutrient solutions and avoiding waste or overdose that could damage plant roots. The dual filtration system effectively intercepts impurities and prevents clogging, while the application of corrosion-resistant materials and a non-stick coating enhances the device's durability, enabling it to withstand various chemical environments. Ergonomic designs, such as the non-slip handle 102 and the spiral telescopic infusion tube 103, improve operational comfort and flexibility, making it particularly suitable for long-term or complex environments. The modular structure makes cleaning and maintenance easier, and the transparent measuring cup 104 allows for real-time observation of the liquid status. The directional root irrigation method reduces water evaporation loss and improves water resource utilization, while the low-power pump 101 makes it suitable for different power supply conditions. This device is highly adaptable and can meet various irrigation needs, such as seedling cultivation and potted plants, by adjusting the filter and flow settings, thus achieving multiple uses in one machine and providing an efficient, reliable and economical solution for precision agriculture and home gardening.
