Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of Chinese medicinal herb cultivation technology, and in particular to an integrated water and fertilizer system for Chinese medicinal herb cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] In the current booming development of the Chinese medicinal herb planting industry, scientific and reasonable irrigation, fertilization and pesticide application management plays a decisive role in ensuring the quality and yield of Chinese medicinal herbs.

[0003] Currently, most existing irrigation equipment for Chinese medicinal herb cultivation only has basic irrigation functions and cannot achieve integrated water and fertilizer management or the simultaneous application of pesticides. During the growth process of Chinese medicinal herbs, the requirements for water, nutrients, and pesticides vary significantly at different stages, but existing equipment cannot integrate these functions, forcing growers to purchase separate irrigation, fertilization, and pesticide application equipment, increasing equipment procurement costs.

[0004] Furthermore, most irrigation equipment typically drip-irrigates crops from the bottom. In the early stages of growth, drip irrigation can meet the growth needs of medicinal herbs. However, as the herbs grow, the plants gradually become taller, and the leaves block each other. Most of the drip irrigation agents can only act on the roots of the crops and cannot effectively reach the leaves at the top of the crops. As a result, the top leaves of the crops do not receive sufficient pesticide supply and are prone to pests.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, a water and fertilizer integrated system for the cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs has been designed. Utility Model Content

[0006] This application provides a water and fertilizer integration system for Chinese medicinal herb cultivation, which solves the problem that most irrigation equipment for Chinese medicinal herb cultivation in related technologies cannot achieve water and fertilizer integration and the joint application of pesticides, and usually drip irrigation from the bottom of the crop, resulting in relatively simple functions.

[0007] Firstly, an integrated water and fertilizer system for the cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs is provided, including:

[0008] The frame has a water and fertilizer tank and a pesticide tank arranged sequentially on it, and both the water and fertilizer tank and the pesticide tank are equipped with a stirrer inside.

[0009] Two opposing support frames are provided. A conveying pipe is provided on one side of the support frame. A spraying unit located at the top and a drip irrigation unit located at the bottom are provided between the conveying pipe and the other support frame.

[0010] Both the water and fertilizer tank and the pesticide tank are equipped with a supply section at the bottom, which is connected to the conveying pipeline and is used to deliver the water, fertilizer and pesticides inside the water and fertilizer tank into the conveying pipeline.

[0011] In some embodiments, the support frame is a rectangular frame with an arched top, and one of the support frames has two fixed rods arranged opposite each other.

[0012] In some embodiments, the conveying pipeline includes conveying pipes arranged vertically opposite each other on a support frame, and a transmission pipe is provided between the two conveying pipes;

[0013] The spraying unit is installed on the upper delivery pipe, and the drip irrigation unit is installed on the lower delivery pipe.

[0014] In some embodiments, the spraying unit includes multiple infusion pipes disposed on an upper delivery pipe, with multiple flexible tubes at the bottom of the infusion pipes and multiple spray holes provided on the flexible tubes;

[0015] The other end of the infusion tube is connected to the fixed rod above.

[0016] In some embodiments, the drip irrigation unit includes a plurality of drip irrigation tubes disposed on a lower delivery pipe, the drip irrigation tubes having a plurality of drip irrigation heads;

[0017] The other end of the drip irrigation tube is connected to the bottom fixing rod.

[0018] In some embodiments, the supply unit includes a pump body respectively disposed below the water and fertilizer tank and the pesticide tank, the outlet of the pump body is provided with a liquid delivery pipe, the other end of the liquid delivery pipe is connected to the delivery pipe located above, and a valve is provided on the liquid delivery pipe;

[0019] The inlets of the two pump bodies are respectively connected to the water and fertilizer tank and the pesticide tank.

[0020] In some embodiments, the agitator includes a drive motor respectively mounted on the water-fertilizer tank and the pesticide tank, and a stirring rod respectively rotatably mounted inside the water-fertilizer tank and the pesticide tank, wherein the output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the corresponding stirring rod.

[0021] This application provides an integrated water and fertilizer system for medicinal herb cultivation. By integrating irrigation, fertilization, and pesticide application functions into one system, multiple operations in the medicinal herb cultivation process can be completed, reducing equipment purchase costs. The spray unit evenly covers the leaves with water, fertilizer, and pesticides, meeting the needs of the top of the medicinal herb plant for water, nutrients, and pesticides, ensuring the overall growth of the plant. The drip irrigation unit delivers water and fertilizer to the soil around the crop roots, creating a locally moist environment. Under stable and suitable humidity and nutrient concentration, the roots can fully extend and penetrate deep into the soil, improving the utilization rate of water, fertilizer, and pesticides. Through the synergistic effect of "root irrigation and foliar spraying," the irrigation effect is enhanced. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] This application provides a water and fertilizer integration system for Chinese medicinal herb cultivation, which can solve the problems of most irrigation equipment for Chinese medicinal herb cultivation in related technologies being unable to achieve water and fertilizer integration and joint application of pesticides, and usually drip irrigation from the bottom of the crop, resulting in relatively simple functions.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-3A water and fertilizer integrated system for planting Chinese medicinal herbs includes: a frame 1 on which a water and fertilizer tank 2 and a pesticide tank 3 are sequentially arranged, each containing a stirrer 4; two opposing support frames 5, one of which has a conveying pipe 8, and a spraying unit 6 at the top and a drip irrigation unit 7 at the bottom between the conveying pipe 8 and the other support frame 5; a supply section 9 at the bottom of both the water and fertilizer tank 2 and the pesticide tank 3, which is connected to the conveying pipe 8 for delivering water, fertilizer, and pesticides from the water and fertilizer tank 2 into the conveying pipe 8; and a feeding port at the top of both the water and fertilizer tank 2 and the pesticide tank 3.

[0032] During the cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs, when it is necessary to prepare water-fertilizer or pesticide solutions, the stirrer 4 inside the water-fertilizer tank 2 and the pesticide tank 3 starts to work. The stirrer 4 thoroughly stirs the water-fertilizer and pesticide in the tank to make them evenly mixed.

[0033] When irrigation, fertilization, or pesticide application is required, the supply unit 9 delivers water, fertilizer, and pesticides to the delivery pipe 8. The spray unit 6 located above the delivery pipe 8 starts operating, spraying water, fertilizer, or pesticides in a mist form, evenly covering the top and leaves of the medicinal plant, meeting the plant's needs for water, nutrients, and pesticides, while also providing comprehensive pest and disease control.

[0034] The drip irrigation unit 7 located at the bottom of the delivery pipe 8 also plays a role, slowly delivering water, fertilizer or pesticides to the roots of the Chinese medicinal plant in the form of drip irrigation, ensuring that the roots can fully absorb water and nutrients and promote plant growth.

[0035] By integrating irrigation, fertilization, and pesticide application functions into one unit, multiple operations in the cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs can be completed, avoiding the hassle of growers purchasing and using multiple pieces of equipment separately, and reducing equipment purchase costs. The spray unit 6 evenly covers the leaves with water, fertilizer, and pesticides, meeting the needs of the top of the medicinal herb plant for water, nutrients, and pesticides, ensuring the overall growth needs of the plant. The drip irrigation unit 7 delivers water and fertilizer to the soil around the crop roots, creating a locally moist environment. Under stable and suitable humidity and nutrient concentration, the roots can fully extend and penetrate deep into the soil, improving the utilization rate of water, fertilizer, and pesticides and reducing waste. Through the synergistic effect of "root irrigation and foliar spraying," the contradiction of "insufficient water and fertilizer at the top and susceptibility to disease at the bottom" in traditional cultivation is avoided, improving irrigation efficiency.

[0036] The stirrer 4 installed in the water and fertilizer tank 2 and the pesticide tank 3 can ensure that the water, fertilizer and pesticide are fully and evenly mixed, avoiding precipitation and stratification of the solution during storage, thus ensuring the quality and stability of the water, fertilizer and pesticide, thereby improving the effect of fertilization and application, and benefiting the healthy growth of Chinese medicinal materials.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, specifically, the support frame 5 in this embodiment is a rectangular frame with an arched top, and two fixed rods 51 are arranged opposite each other on one of the support frames 5.

[0038] The support frame 5 has a rectangular frame structure, which can provide a stable support foundation and can withstand the weight of components such as conveying pipes, spraying units, and drip irrigation units, ensuring that the entire integrated water and fertilizer system for Chinese medicinal herb planting is stably installed in the planting greenhouse. The top of the support frame 5 is arched, and the arched structure has good mechanical properties and can evenly distribute the pressure applied from above.

[0039] Two fixing rods 51, which are arranged opposite each other on one of the support frames 5, provide fixing points for the infusion pipes in the spray unit 6 and the drip irrigation unit 7.

[0040] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, specifically, the conveying pipe 8 in this embodiment includes conveying pipes 81 arranged vertically opposite to each other on the support frame 5, and a transmission pipe 82 is provided between the two conveying pipes 81.

[0041] The spraying unit 6 is mounted on the upper delivery pipe 81, and the drip irrigation unit 7 is mounted on the lower delivery pipe 81.

[0042] The delivery pipeline 8 consists of delivery pipes 81 arranged vertically on the support frame 5 and a transmission pipe 82 connecting the two delivery pipes 81. The supply section 9 at the bottom of the water and fertilizer tank 2 and the pesticide tank 3 delivers water, fertilizer or pesticides to the upper delivery pipe 81, where the fluid flows. When water, fertilizer or pesticides need to be supplied to both the sprinkler unit 6 and the drip irrigation unit 7 simultaneously, some fluid flows from the upper delivery pipe 81 to the lower delivery pipe 81 through the transmission pipe 82, thus achieving communication and distribution of fluids within the upper and lower delivery pipes 81.

[0043] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the spray unit 6 includes a plurality of infusion pipes 61 disposed on the upper delivery pipe 81, a plurality of flexible tubes 62 disposed at the bottom of the infusion pipes 61, and a plurality of spray holes 63 opened on the flexible tubes 62; the other end of the infusion pipes 61 is connected to the upper fixing rod 51.

[0044] When water, fertilizer, or pesticides are delivered through the upper delivery pipe 81, the liquid can flow from the upper delivery pipe 81 into each delivery pipe 61 because the infusion pipe 61 is installed on the upper delivery pipe 81, ensuring that the liquid can be evenly distributed to different areas.

[0045] After entering the infusion tube 61, the liquid flows into multiple flexible tubes 62. These tubes 62 possess good flexibility and extensibility, allowing for flexible arrangement according to the distribution and growth status of the medicinal plant. As the liquid flows within the tubes 62, it is sprayed out from multiple nozzles 63. These nozzles 63 ensure that the liquid is evenly sprayed in a mist form onto the tops and leaves of the medicinal plant, providing sufficient water, nutrients, and the medicinal agent.

[0046] The other end of the infusion tube 61 is connected to the upper fixing rod 51, which provides stable support for the infusion tube 61.

[0047] The arrangement of multiple infusion tubes 61 and hoses 62, as well as the distribution of multiple spray holes 63 on the hoses 62, enables water, fertilizer, or pesticides to be evenly applied to the medicinal plant.

[0048] The flexibility of the hose 62 allows the spray unit 6 to adapt to different terrains and plant arrangements. During the cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs, the planting area may be uneven or the plants may be arranged irregularly. The hose 62 can be bent and adjusted according to the actual situation to ensure that the spraying effect is not affected.

[0049] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the drip irrigation unit 7 includes a plurality of drip irrigation pipes 71 disposed on the lower delivery pipe 81, and a plurality of drip irrigation heads 72 disposed on the drip irrigation pipes 71; the other end of the drip irrigation pipes 71 is connected to the bottom fixing rod 51.

[0050] Water, fertilizer, or pesticides flow from the upper delivery pipe 81 through the transmission pipe 82 into the lower delivery pipe 81. The liquid is then distributed from the lower delivery pipe 81 to multiple drip irrigation pipes 71. Once inside the drip irrigation pipes 71, the liquid flows through multiple drip heads 72. These drip heads 72 slowly and evenly release the liquid into the soil in droplets or a fine stream, directly acting on the roots of the medicinal plant. This drip irrigation method simulates the natural saturation process of rainfall, but is more precise and controllable, ensuring that the roots can fully absorb water and nutrients.

[0051] The other end of the drip irrigation pipe 71 is connected to the bottom fixing rod 51, which provides stable support and fixation for the drip irrigation pipe 71.

[0052] The drip irrigation unit 7 delivers water, fertilizer, and pesticides directly to the roots of the plants, avoiding the evaporation and loss of water on the soil surface and the leaching and volatilization of fertilizer in the soil, which are common in traditional irrigation methods.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the supply unit 9 includes a pump body 91 respectively disposed below the water and fertilizer tank 2 and the pesticide tank 3. The outlet of the pump body 91 is provided with a liquid delivery pipe 92, and the other end of the liquid delivery pipe 92 is connected to the upper delivery pipe 81. A valve 93 is provided on the liquid delivery pipe 92. The inlets of the two pump bodies 91 are respectively connected to the water and fertilizer tank 2 and the pesticide tank 3.

[0054] When it is necessary to irrigate or spray pesticides on Chinese medicinal herbs, the corresponding pump 91 shall be activated according to the actual needs. If it is necessary to apply water and fertilizer, the pump 91 located below the water and fertilizer tank 2 shall be activated; if it is necessary to spray pesticides, the pump 91 located below the pesticide tank 3 shall be activated.

[0055] When the pump body 91 is working, a negative pressure is formed inside it, which draws out the water and fertilizer in the water and fertilizer tank 2 or the pesticide in the pesticide tank 3 through the inlet. The drawn water and fertilizer or pesticide enters the liquid delivery pipe 92 connected to the outlet of the pump body 91. The liquid delivery pipe 92 serves as a channel for liquid transportation, transporting the water and fertilizer or pesticide from the pump body 91 to the upper delivery pipe 81. Since the other end of the liquid delivery pipe 92 is connected to the upper delivery pipe 81, the liquid can smoothly enter the delivery pipe 81 and then flow to the spray unit 6 and drip irrigation unit 7 of the entire water and fertilizer integrated system.

[0056] A valve 93 is installed on the liquid delivery pipe 92. By controlling the opening and closing of the two valves 93, water, fertilizer, or pesticides can be delivered as needed. Furthermore, the valves 93 can regulate the flow rate of the liquid in the liquid delivery pipe 92. By operating the opening degree of the valves 93, the amount of water, fertilizer, or pesticides entering the upper delivery pipe 81 can be controlled, thereby meeting the different needs of medicinal herbs for water, fertilizer, and pesticides at different growth stages.

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the stirrer 4 includes a drive motor 41 respectively installed on the water and fertilizer tank 2 and the pesticide tank 3, and a stirring rod 42 respectively rotatably installed in the water and fertilizer tank 2 and the pesticide tank 3. The output shaft of the drive motor 41 is connected to the corresponding stirring rod 42.

[0058] When it is necessary to stir the fertilizer solution in the fertilizer tank 2 or the pesticide solution in the pesticide tank 3, the drive motor 41 installed in the fertilizer tank 2 and pesticide tank 3 respectively is started. After the drive motor 41 is powered on, its internal rotor begins to rotate, converting electrical energy into mechanical energy. The rotational power is output through the output shaft. Driven by the output shaft, the stirring rod 42 begins to rotate in the fertilizer tank 2 or pesticide tank 3. As the stirring rod 42 rotates, it stirs the fertilizer solution in the fertilizer tank 2 or the pesticide solution in the pesticide tank 3. For the fertilizer tank 2, stirring can make the fertilizer fully dissolve in the water, avoid fertilizer precipitation, and make the concentration of the fertilizer solution more uniform. For the pesticide tank 3, stirring can make the pesticide fully mixed with water or other solvents, prevent the pesticide from separating or clumping, and ensure the consistent efficacy of the pesticide solution.

[0059] It should be noted that the stirring rod 42 in this embodiment includes a main shaft connected to the drive motor 41, and a plurality of round rods disposed on the main shaft. This is prior art and will not be described in detail here.
