Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural planting technology, specifically to an intelligent irrigation system for organic vegetable planting. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, the level of automation in agricultural planting has been continuously improved. In addition to the common mechanical harvesting of mature crops, daily irrigation and fertilization have also been replaced by intelligent and automated systems, which effectively reduces the energy consumed in agricultural planting. This is widely used in the field planting of grains and the greenhouse planting of fruits and vegetables.

[0003] Intelligent irrigation systems primarily use various sensors, such as meteorological sensors, soil moisture sensors, and plant physiological sensors, to detect farmland soil, atmospheric environment, and crop growth. The electrical signals from these sensors are transmitted to the control center via wired or wireless means. The control center analyzes the data according to preset rules or intelligent algorithms, thereby automatically controlling the start and stop of equipment such as water pumps, solenoid valves, and fertigation machines to achieve automated irrigation operations. For example, if the soil moisture content is low, irrigation will start automatically. Or, by reading weather forecasts through the network and combining them with meteorological sensors, irrigation will be delayed to save water when rainfall is expected.

[0004] Existing intelligent irrigation systems for organic vegetable cultivation typically use irrigation nozzles that are installed and positioned by inserting a conical rod into the soil. However, when the irrigation nozzles spray water, some water inevitably spills around them, making the soil around the nozzles quite damp. Damp soil is less strong and easily turned over, which can cause the irrigation nozzles to tilt or even fall over due to the water pressure, thus affecting the irrigation process. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an intelligent irrigation system for organic vegetable cultivation to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an intelligent irrigation system for organic vegetable cultivation, comprising a water tank, an irrigation nozzle, and a PLC controller. The bottom of the irrigation nozzle is connected to a support plate, and the bottom of the support plate is connected to a buffer pad. A central insert rod is fixed in the middle of the bottom of the support plate, and side insert rods are fixed on both sides of the bottom of the support plate. An insert plate is fixed between the side insert rods and the central insert rod, and ribs are connected to the outer surface of the insert plate.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the contact area with the ground is increased by the support plate and buffer pad, thereby reducing pressure and reducing the occurrence of irrigation nozzle tipping. The insertion plate is supported by the middle insertion rod and the side insertion rod, and it is easy to install by inserting it into the soil. The setting of the insertion plate further increases the contact area with the soil, so that more soil needs to be turned over when the irrigation nozzle wants to tip over, which improves the structural stability and reduces the occurrence of irrigation nozzle tipping. In addition, the ribs increase the structural strength of the insertion plate and reduce the occurrence of bending deformation of the insertion plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of both the intermediate insert and the side insert is square-pyramidal.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the bottom of the middle and side insertion rods is square-pyramidal, which helps to reduce insertion resistance and makes it easier for workers to insert the middle and side insertion rods into the soil.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the insert plate is triangular.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the bottom of the insertion plate is triangular, which helps to reduce insertion resistance and makes it easier for workers to insert the insertion plate into the soil.

[0012] Furthermore, there are four side insert rods and insert plates, and the four side insert rods and insert plates are arranged in a circular array.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, and by increasing the number of insert plates to further increase the contact area with the soil, the irrigation nozzles need to turn over more soil when they want to tilt, thereby improving stability.

[0014] Furthermore, the ribs are provided in eight groups, with multiple ribs forming one group, and the eight groups of ribs are respectively connected to four groups of insert plates, with multiple ribs in each group being equidistantly distributed.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the structural strength of the insert plate is increased by using ribs, thereby reducing the occurrence of bending deformation of the insert plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the support plate, intermediate insert rod, side insert rod, insert plate, and ribs are all made of 304 stainless steel.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution and using stainless steel materials, the occurrence of rust and corrosion of support plates, intermediate inserts, side inserts, insert plates and ribs can be effectively reduced.

[0018] Furthermore, the cushioning pad is made of silicone rubber.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, a buffer is formed between the soil and the support plate, reducing pressure and thus improving the stability of the structure.

[0020] Furthermore, a filter assembly is connected to the outer surface of the water tank via a pipe, and a water pump is connected to the outer surface of the filter assembly via a pipe. A water pump outlet is connected to a fertigation unit, and multiple solenoid valves are connected to the side of the fertigation unit via pipes. Multiple irrigation nozzles are connected to the back of each of the multiple solenoid valves via pipes. A weather sensor and a soil moisture sensor are respectively installed on the back of the PLC controller via cables, and the water pump, fertigation unit, solenoid valves, weather sensor, and soil moisture sensor are all electrically connected to the PLC controller.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the soil and atmospheric environment of the organic vegetable planting field is monitored through sensing elements such as meteorological sensors and soil moisture sensors. For example, when the soil and air are dry, the PLC controller will receive an electrical signal sent by the sensing element. At this time, the PLC controller will turn on the water pump. After the water pump is turned on, it draws water from the pool and then filters the water through a filter group composed of sand and gravel filters, disc filters, etc., to prevent impurities such as sand and soil from clogging the irrigation nozzles. Then, the solenoid valve is opened to send the water into the irrigation nozzles of the corresponding area of ​​farmland and spray it out. The staff can also turn on the water and fertilizer machine through the PLC controller to add water-soluble fertilizer to the water, so that the organic vegetables can be fertilized during the irrigation process.

[0022] Furthermore, two bolts pass through the outer surface, back, and sides of the support plate, and the support plate is detachably connected to the irrigation nozzle via the bolts.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, when installing the irrigation nozzle, the worker inserts the bottom of the irrigation nozzle into the support plate and then tightens it with bolts. If the available installation area of ​​the irrigation nozzle is small, the worker can choose a support plate with smaller length and width, and the corresponding distance between the middle insertion rod and the side insertion rod is reduced to avoid encroaching on the planting area. If the available installation area of ​​the irrigation nozzle is large, the worker can choose a support plate with larger length and width, and the corresponding distance between the middle insertion rod and the side insertion rod is increased to obtain better stability.

[0024] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0025] This invention utilizes a support plate, a central insert rod, side insert rods, an insert plate, ribs, and a buffer pad. The support plate and buffer pad increase the contact area with the ground, reducing pressure and minimizing the likelihood of the irrigation nozzle tipping over. The central and side insert rods support the insert plate and facilitate installation by inserting it into the soil. The insert plate further increases the contact area with the soil, requiring more soil to be disturbed if the irrigation nozzle tries to tip over, thus improving structural stability and reducing tipping. The ribs increase the structural strength of the insert plate, reducing bending and deformation. Increasing the contact area with the top and interior of the soil effectively reduces the likelihood of the irrigation nozzle tipping over and improves structural stability.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0032] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] An intelligent irrigation system for organic vegetable cultivation, such as Figures 2-4As shown, the system includes a water tank 1, an irrigation nozzle 6, and a PLC controller 7. A support plate 10 is connected to the bottom of the irrigation nozzle 6, and a buffer pad 15, made of silicone rubber, is connected to the bottom of the support plate 10. A central insert rod 11 is fixed in the middle of the bottom of the support plate 10, and side insert rods 12 are fixed on both sides of the bottom of the support plate 10. The bottoms of the central insert rod 11 and the side insert rods 12 are both pyramidal. An insert plate 13 is fixed between the side insert rods 12 and the central insert rod 11. The bottom of the insert plate 13 is triangular. There are four side insert rods 12 and four insert plates 13, arranged in a circular array. Ribs 14 are connected to the outer surface of the insert plate 13. Eight sets of ribs 14 are arranged in groups of several, and the eight sets of ribs 14 are connected to four sets of insert plates 13 respectively. The connection consists of multiple ribs 14 evenly distributed in each group. The support plate 10, the middle insert rod 11, the side insert rod 12, the insert plate 13, and the ribs 14 are all made of 304 stainless steel. The support plate 10 and the buffer pad 15 increase the contact area with the ground, thereby reducing pressure and reducing the occurrence of the irrigation nozzle 6 tipping over. The middle insert rod 11 and the side insert rod 12 support the insert plate 13 and facilitate installation by inserting it into the soil. The setting of the insert plate 13 further increases the contact area with the soil, so that when the irrigation nozzle 6 wants to tip over, more soil needs to be turned over, improving structural stability and reducing the occurrence of the irrigation nozzle 6 tipping over. In addition, the ribs 14 increase the structural strength of the insert plate 13 and reduce the occurrence of bending deformation of the insert plate 13.

[0035] See Figure 1 In the above embodiment, a filter assembly 2 is connected to the outer surface of the water tank 1 via a pipe. A water pump 3 is connected to the outer surface of the filter assembly 2 via a pipe. A fertigation unit 4 is connected to the outlet of the water pump 3. Multiple solenoid valves 5 are connected to the side of the fertigation unit 4 via pipes. Multiple irrigation nozzles 6 are connected to the back of each of the multiple solenoid valves 5 via pipes. A weather sensor 8 and a soil moisture sensor 9 are respectively installed on the back of the PLC controller 7 via cables. The water pump 3, fertigation unit 4, solenoid valves 5, weather sensor 8, and soil moisture sensor 9 are all electrically connected to the PLC controller 7. The soil moisture in the organic vegetable planting field is monitored through the weather sensor 8, soil moisture sensor 9, and other sensing elements. The system monitors the soil and atmospheric environment. For example, when the soil and air are dry, the PLC controller 7 receives an electrical signal from the sensor element. At this time, the PLC controller 7 will turn on the water pump 3. After the water pump 3 is turned on, it draws water from the water tank 1. Then, the water is filtered through the filter group 2, which consists of a sand filter, a disc filter, and other filters, to prevent impurities such as sand and soil from clogging the irrigation nozzles 6. Then, the solenoid valve 5 is opened to send the water into the irrigation nozzles 6 of the corresponding farmland and spray it out. The staff can also turn on the water and fertilizer machine 4 through the PLC controller 7 to add water-soluble fertilizer to the water, so that organic vegetables can be fertilized during the irrigation process.

[0036] Example 2:

[0037] Based on the above embodiment one, in order to facilitate the application of different sizes of installation gaps, the following settings are now adopted.

[0038] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 In the above embodiment, two bolts 16 pass through the outer surface, back, and sides of the support plate 10, respectively. The support plate 10 is detachably connected to the irrigation nozzle 6 via the bolts 16. When installing the irrigation nozzle 6, the worker inserts the bottom of the irrigation nozzle 6 into the support plate 10 and then tightens it with the bolts 16. If the available installation area of ​​the irrigation nozzle 6 is small, the worker can choose a support plate 10 with a smaller length and width, and the corresponding distance between the middle insertion rod 11 and the side insertion rod 12 is reduced to avoid encroaching on the planting area. If the available installation area of ​​the irrigation nozzle 6 is large, the worker can choose a support plate 10 with a larger length and width, and the corresponding distance between the middle insertion rod 11 and the side insertion rod 12 is increased to obtain better stability.

[0039] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the soil and atmospheric environment of the organic vegetable planting field are monitored by sensing elements such as meteorological sensor 8 and soil moisture sensor 9. For example, when the soil and air are dry, the PLC controller 7 will receive the electrical signal sent by the sensing elements. At this time, the PLC controller 7 will turn on the water pump 3. After the water pump 3 is turned on, it draws water from the water tank 1. Then, the water is filtered by the filter group 2, which is composed of sand and gravel filter, disc filter and other filters, to prevent impurities such as sand and soil from clogging the irrigation nozzle 6. Then, the solenoid valve 5 is opened. The irrigation nozzles 6 deliver water to the corresponding farmland area and spray it out. The staff can also turn on the water-fertilizer machine 4 through the PLC controller 7 to add water-soluble fertilizer to the water, so that the organic vegetables can be fertilized during the irrigation process. The sensing elements, control circuits and equipment of the intelligent irrigation system are all existing technologies. For example, the water source is not only a pool 1, but also a river, reservoir and other water bodies. The electrical signal transmission can also be wireless transmission such as WIFI, 4G, 5G and so on. The existing technology covers a wide range of contents. Therefore, this technical solution only takes a part as an example and does not go into detail.

[0040] When installing the irrigation sprinkler head 6, the worker inserts the bottom of the irrigation sprinkler head 6 into the support plate 10 and then tightens it with bolts 16. If the available installation area for the irrigation sprinkler head 6 is small, the worker can choose a support plate 10 with smaller length and width, and correspondingly reduce the distance between the middle insertion rod 11 and the side insertion rod 12 to avoid encroaching on the planting area. If the available installation area for the irrigation sprinkler head 6 is large, the worker can choose a support plate 10 with larger length and width, and correspondingly increase the distance between the middle insertion rod 11 and the side insertion rod 12 to obtain better stability. Then, the worker inserts the middle insertion rod 11 and the side insertion rod 12 into the ground. Subsequently, the worker can step on the support plate 10 with both feet and use their body weight to insert the middle insertion rod 11, the side insertion rod 12 and the insertion plate 13 into the soil for easy installation. After the irrigation sprinkler head 6 is installed, the worker connects the pipe to the joints on both sides of the irrigation sprinkler head 6 to connect the water circuit.

[0041] The support plate 10 and buffer pad 15 increase the contact area with the ground, thereby reducing pressure and reducing the occurrence of the irrigation nozzle 6 tipping over. The middle insertion rod 11 and side insertion rod 12 support the insertion plate 13 and facilitate installation by inserting it into the soil. The insertion plate 13 further increases the contact area with the soil, so that the irrigation nozzle 6 needs to turn over more soil if it wants to tip over, which improves the structural stability and reduces the occurrence of the irrigation nozzle 6 tipping over. In addition, the ribs 14 increase the structural strength of the insertion plate 13 and reduce the occurrence of bending deformation of the insertion plate 13.

[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions, and variations to the embodiments as needed without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, provided that such modifications, substitutions, and variations are within the scope of the claims of the present invention and are protected by patent law.
