[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example

[0024] like Figure 1-3 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides an irrigation system for fruit trees, including a filtration device. The filtration device includes a frame 1, which provides support and fixation for the entire filtration assembly. Its function is to ensure the stable installation of the filter tank 2, making the filtration device a unified whole, facilitating its layout and installation within the irrigation system.

[0025] Three filter tanks 2 are installed on the frame 1, which can be opened simultaneously or individually to facilitate filter replacement.

[0026] A cover plate 3 is bolted to the top of the filter tank 2, and a handle 4 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 3 for replacing the filter element or cleaning internal impurities. The handle 4 makes it easy for operators to lift the cover plate 3, improving the convenience of operation;

[0027] One end of the filter tank 2 is connected to a water inlet pipe 5 at a high position. The water inlet pipe 5 is equipped with a first valve 6, which is used to open the valve to allow water to flow into the filter tank 2 when filtration is needed, and to close the valve when filtration is not needed, so as to facilitate maintenance and control of the filtration process.

[0028] The bottom of the filter tank 2 is connected to a water outlet pipe 7, and a second valve 8 is provided on the water outlet pipe 7. The function is to open the valve after the water is filtered to allow clean water to flow out into the subsequent irrigation system, and at the same time, the valve can be closed during maintenance to prevent water backflow.

[0029] The filter tank 2 is filled with a replaceable filter element, which consists of a high cylinder 9 and a low cylinder 10. The function of the high cylinder 9 is to remove odors, pigments and some harmful chemicals from the water, improve the quality of irrigation water and protect the growth environment of fruit trees. The function of the low cylinder 10 is to prevent large particles of impurities from entering the subsequent filtration stage and irrigation system, reduce the filtration burden of the high cylinder 9 and extend the service life of the entire filtration device.

[0030] One end of the filter device is connected to a submersible pump, which is placed in a water tank. The other end of the filter device is connected to a water storage tank, through which a power pump delivers water to drip irrigation, micro-sprinkler irrigation, and sprinkler irrigation.

[0031] The working principle of this fruit tree irrigation system is as follows: First, the submersible pump placed in the water tank starts, delivering water through the inlet pipe 5 to the filtration device. Three staggered filter tanks 2 of different heights are installed on the frame 1 of the filtration device. The filter elements inside the tanks consist of a high cylinder 9 and a low cylinder 10. Water flows in from the inlet pipe 5 at one end of the filter tank 2, at which point the first valve 6 opens. The low cylinder 10, located at the inlet pipe 5, is responsible for collecting impurities in the water. The water, after preliminary filtration, is further filtered through the high cylinder 9, which is filled with activated carbon filter bags. The high cylinder 9 is installed at the outlet pipe 7, and the filtered water flows out from the outlet pipe 7 at the bottom of the filter tank 2, at which point the second valve 8 opens. The filtered water flows into the storage tank, where a power pump then starts, delivering the water to the drip irrigation, micro-sprinkler irrigation, and sprinkler irrigation systems to irrigate the fruit trees.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the filter tanks 2 are staggered and designed with different heights to prevent interference between them; the three filter tanks 2 do not interfere with each other and can perform filtration work independently at the same time. When one filter tank 2 becomes clogged or requires maintenance, it does not affect the normal operation of the other filter tanks 2, ensuring that the entire filtration device continuously and stably provides filtered water to the irrigation system.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the tall cylinder 9 is filled with activated carbon filter bags and installed at the outlet pipe 7. Activated carbon has a rich porous structure and a large specific surface area, and has a strong adsorption capacity for odors, pigments, some heavy metal ions, and organic pollutants in water. When water flows through the tall cylinder 9 filled with activated carbon filter bags, these harmful substances are adsorbed and retained by the activated carbon, thereby effectively improving the odor and color of the irrigation water, reducing the content of harmful substances in the water, providing cleaner and higher-quality irrigation water for fruit trees, and promoting the healthy growth of fruit trees.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the low-pressure cylinder 10 is used to collect impurities and is installed at the water inlet pipe 5. The water inlet pipe 5 is the channel through which water flows into the filter tank 2. The low-pressure cylinder 10 is located here so that it can intercept larger particles of impurities in the water as soon as the water flows into the filter device. Large particles such as sand, gravel, and leaf debris will be blocked by the low-pressure cylinder 10, preventing them from entering subsequent filtration stages and the irrigation system, effectively reducing the burden on subsequent filtration components and extending the service life of the entire filter device.

[0035] like Figure 1 and 3As shown, in some embodiments, the inlet pipe 5 of the filtration device is connected to a submersible pump reservoir; the submersible pump is placed in the reservoir and its function is to pump water from the reservoir. The inlet pipe 5 connects to the submersible pump, allowing the water pumped by the submersible pump to smoothly enter the filtration device for treatment. This connection ensures a continuous and stable water supply to the filtration device, which is a prerequisite for the operation of the entire irrigation system.

[0036] like Figure 1 and 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the outlet pipe 7 in the filtration device is connected; the water purified by the filtration device flows into the storage tank through the outlet pipe 7. The storage tank acts as a "transfer station," storing this purified water and providing a stable water source for subsequent irrigation operations. For example, when irrigation demand is low, the purified water can be stored in the storage tank; while when large-scale irrigation of fruit trees is required, the storage tank can supply sufficient water in a timely manner to meet irrigation needs at different times.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
