Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural equipment technology, specifically relating to a voice-controlled orchard pesticide dispensing system. Background Technology

[0002] In pesticide application in small and medium-sized orchards, pesticide preparation is essential and complex. Traditional manual preparation methods are commonly used in these orchards, typically involving multiple steps: pesticides are poured into a mixing container one by one, requiring frequent manual opening and closing of the packaging; then, water is added and stirred, often using sticks or similar tools; finally, the prepared solution is transferred to the spraying equipment for application. In short, traditional manual pesticide preparation is not only complex and inefficient, but also poses safety hazards due to direct contact with pesticides.

[0003] With the development of information technology, voice recognition technology, as an important form of human-computer interaction, has been widely applied in many fields, such as smart homes and intelligent voice assistants. Patent CN210699929U discloses an intelligent stirrer that recognizes and controls various commands through user voice input. Introducing voice recognition technology into automatic pesticide mixing devices could greatly simplify the mixing process: users could complete a series of operations such as setting, measuring, and mixing pesticides and water ratios using simple voice commands, improving work efficiency and avoiding the health risks associated with direct contact with pesticides. However, currently, although mature voice control boards / controllers and other components and technologies exist, there is no readily available agricultural pesticide mixing system.

[0004] In response to this situation, the inventors proposed a simple voice-controlled orchard pesticide dispensing system that can be made entirely by purchasing components and using their own materials, providing a low-cost voice control solution for orchard pesticide dispensing systems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a voice-controlled orchard pesticide dispensing system. It can greatly simplify the pesticide dispensing process, improve work efficiency, reduce labor costs, and comprehensively protect the safety of operators by means of voice operation and automated programs, and it is also low-cost.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A voice-controlled orchard pesticide application system includes a voice controller, a main water inlet pipe, a main tank, a mixer mounted on the main tank via a bracket, a pesticide application tank, and a secondary water inlet pipe. The outer end of the main water inlet pipe is connected to a water source, and the inner end is placed inside the main tank. The outer end of the secondary water inlet pipe is connected to a water source, and the inner end is connected to the pesticide application tank. The bottom of the pesticide application tank is provided with a pesticide outlet and a drain valve for automatically opening and closing the pesticide outlet is installed. A main water pump is installed on the main water inlet pipe. A secondary water pump and a pesticide application solenoid valve are installed on the secondary water inlet pipe. The main water pump, the secondary water pump, and the pesticide application solenoid valve are controlled by the voice controller.

[0008] Furthermore, the number of the medicine mixing tanks is two.

[0009] Furthermore, the support includes a main support spanning the main barrel and a barrel frame mounted on the main support, with the dispensing barrel fixed by the barrel frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the barrel frame includes a main rod mounted on the main support and side rods vertically fixed at both ends of the main rod. The side rods, the main rod, and the main support form a rectangular slot open on one side. The top of the medicine dispensing barrel is provided with an outwardly protruding flange, and the medicine dispensing barrel is suspended and installed in the rectangular slot through the flange.

[0011] Furthermore, the medicine mixing tank is equipped with a bottle-opening and rinsing rack, which is connected to the rinsing tank via a rinsing pipe, and a rinsing pump is installed on the rinsing pipe.

[0012] Furthermore, the rinsing tank and rinsing pump are mounted on the bracket.

[0013] Furthermore, the voice controller is positioned above the main bucket.

[0014] Furthermore, the voice controller is mounted on a back panel, which is mounted on a beam or wall of the house.

[0015] Furthermore, the back panel is also equipped with several sockets and a main switch.

[0016] Furthermore, the voice controller includes a housing, a voice control board disposed within the housing, and a power module, a wireless transmission module, a speaker, and a relay module electrically connected to the voice control board.

[0017] The working principle of this invention is as follows: the system uses ASRPRO (Automatic Speech Recognition Technology) combined with relays as its core technologies. Through ASRPRO technology, the system can accurately recognize the voice commands issued by the operator. The relays are responsible for converting the recognized voice commands into electrical signals, which then control the water pumps and solenoid valves to operate automatically according to a pre-set program. For example, when the operator says the command "Start mixing medicine," after ASRPRO technology recognizes it, the relay will immediately control the water pump and the corresponding solenoid valve to open, realizing the start of the automated medicine mixing process.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] This utility model has a simple structure and practical functions. It can be made in one's own orchard by purchasing a voice controller / control board. With the help of voice operation and automated programs, it can greatly simplify the pesticide dispensing process, improve work efficiency, reduce equipment and labor costs, and fully protect the safety of operators.

They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and do not require that this utility model be constructed and operated in a specific orientation; therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. The terms "connected" and "linked" used in this utility model should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or a detachable connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through intermediate components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms according to the specific circumstances.

[0031] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a voice-controlled orchard pesticide dispensing system includes a voice controller 23, a dispensing pump 8, a main water inlet pipe 17, a main tank 1, a mixer 9 mounted on the main tank 1 via a bracket, a pesticide dispensing tank, and a secondary water inlet pipe 18. The outer end of the main water inlet pipe 17 is connected to a water source, and the inner end is inserted into the main tank 1. The dispensing pump 8 is placed at the bottom of the main tank 1, and the dispensing pump 8 is connected to a dispensing pipe 21. The other end of the dispensing pipe 21 extends out of the main tank 1. During use, the dispensing pump 9... One end of the dispensing pipe 21 is inserted into the spraying equipment to add pesticide; the outer end of the secondary water inlet pipe 18 is connected to a water source, and the inner end is connected to the pesticide mixing tank; the bottom of the pesticide mixing tank is provided with a dispensing hole and a water dropper 16 for automatically opening and closing the dispensing hole is installed; a main water pump 6 is installed on the main water inlet pipe 17; a secondary water pump 7 and a pesticide mixing solenoid valve are installed on the secondary water inlet pipe 18; the main water pump 6, the secondary water pump 7, and the pesticide mixing solenoid valve are controlled by the voice controller 23.

[0033] Preferred, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, there are two mixing tanks, designated as Mixing Tank 1 (3) and Mixing Tank 2 (4). The two mixing tanks are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main support 25. The mixing solenoid valves include a first solenoid valve 10 and a second solenoid valve 11 corresponding to the two mixing tanks respectively. The downstream end of the secondary water inlet pipe 18 is connected to a first branch pipe and a second branch pipe. The first branch pipe connects to Mixing Tank 1 (3) and is equipped with the first solenoid valve 10. The second branch pipe connects to Mixing Tank 2 (4) and is equipped with the second solenoid valve 11. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the secondary water inlet pipe 18, the first branch pipe, and the second branch pipe are rigid plastic water pipes, which facilitates fixing this part to the bracket. Specifically, the position of the secondary water inlet pipe 18 is fixed by pads, cable ties, etc. (not shown in the figure). For easy connection, a section of flexible hose can also be used to connect the secondary water inlet pipe 18 and the clean water tank 2.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the support includes a main support 25 spanning the main barrel 1 and a barrel frame 26 mounted on the main support 25, with the dispensing barrel fixed by the barrel frame 26. The barrel frame 26 can be made into a frame-shaped cylinder with a support plate at the bottom, allowing the dispensing barrel to be placed inside. The barrel frame 26 can also take other forms, such as fixing only the upper part of the dispensing barrel by suspension, which reduces the material used to make the barrel frame 26 and lowers costs. In practice, the support can be made from materials such as angle steel, square steel, reinforcing bars, round pipes, and wooden boards. Preferably, as... Figures 1 to 3As shown, the container frame 26 includes a main rod mounted on the main support 25 and side rods vertically fixed to both ends of the main rod. The side rods, main rod, and main support 25 form a rectangular slot open on one side. The top of the dispensing container has an outwardly protruding flange, and the dispensing container is suspended in the rectangular slot via the flange. With this container frame 26 design, the dispensing container is only suspended and fixed by the flange, with no other support at the bottom, saving materials. Furthermore, due to the rigid support, the dispensing container will not wobble. Since at least two sides of the dispensing container are supported by the side rods, main rod, or main support 25, any wobbling caused by unbalanced support does not affect its function.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, to facilitate opening pesticide bottles, a bottle-opening and rinsing rack is installed on the mixing tank. The rack is connected to the rinsing tank 5 via a rinsing pipe, and a rinsing pump 15 is installed on the rinsing pipe. A first bottle-opening and rinsing rack 13 is installed corresponding to mixing tank 3, and a second rack 14 is installed corresponding to mixing tank 4. The bottle-opening and rinsing racks are commercially available, readily available products; after purchase, they are installed on top of the mixing tank and connected to the rinsing tank 5. Specifically, as... Figure 5 As shown, the rinsing tank 5 is connected to the first bottle-opening rinsing rack 13 and the second bottle-opening rinsing rack 14 via the main rinsing pipe 19 and two rinsing branch pipes 20 connected to the main rinsing pipe 19. The rinsing tank 5 and the rinsing pump 15 are mounted on the bracket. Since the amount of rinsing water used is small, mounting the rinsing tank 5 and the rinsing pump 15 on the bracket, with the rinsing pump 15 located between the medicine mixing tank and the rinsing tank 5, can reduce the length of the water pipes used for connection; the water pipes used for connection here are all flexible hoses. The water supply to the rinsing tank 5 is through the secondary water inlet pipe 18, on which a branch line connecting to the rinsing tank 5 is set, and a third solenoid valve 12 is installed. The third solenoid valve 12 is controlled by the voice controller 23; that is, the clean water tank 2 and the secondary water inlet pipe 18 are responsible for supplying water to the first medicine mixing tank 3, the second medicine mixing tank 4, and the rinsing tank 5.

[0036] Furthermore, the voice-controlled orchard pesticide application system also includes lighting, which is installed on a wall or building beam and controlled by a voice controller 23. At night or in poor lighting conditions, the lights can be turned on or off via voice control, allowing operators to clearly see the equipment and operating procedures, thus ensuring operational safety.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 2As shown, the voice controller 23 is positioned above the main tank 1. Specifically, the voice controller 23 is mounted on a back panel 27, which is installed on a beam or wall. Several sockets 22 are also provided on the back panel 27. In practice, communication or power cables for various electronic devices are bundled together or run through conduits and then connected upwards to the voice controller 23. The voice controller 23 is installed according to the site conditions. The voice controller 23 and sockets 22, installed at a high position, are less likely to be splashed by water, making it safer to use and reducing interference with voice recognition caused by the stirring of liquid in the main tank 1 and the noise from the water pump. Simultaneously, the height of the back panel 27 ensures that it will not hit the head, but is within reach of raising an arm. This allows operators to quickly cut off the main switch 24 in case of an emergency, immediately stopping the system and ensuring the safety of equipment and personnel. The voice controller 23 includes a housing, a voice control board 231 housed within the housing, and a power module 233, a wireless transmission module 235, a speaker 236, and a relay module 232 electrically connected to the voice control board 231 via a terminal block 234. The relay module 232 has only eight 5V relays, which are used to connect the control pins of the voice control board 231 to the secondary water pump 7, the machine head, the lighting lamp, the medicine pump 8, the first solenoid valve 10, the second solenoid valve 11, and the third solenoid valve 12. A wireless receiver is installed on the main water pump 6, thereby controlling the main water pump 6 via the wireless transmission module 235. The back panel 27 requires at least four sockets 22 and one main switch 24, such as... Figures 6 to 7 As shown, this utility model uses four sockets 22 and a main switch 24; the four sockets 22 are respectively used to connect the lighting plug, the medicine pump plug, the flushing pump plug, the secondary water pump plug, and the power plug of the voice controller is connected to the main switch 24.

[0038] The equipment and functions required for this utility model are as follows:
