Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of irrigation technology, specifically an energy-saving sprinkler irrigation device for roof gardens. Background Technology

[0002] A rooftop garden, also known as a rooftop garden, is a vertical green space created on the roof of a building by planting plants and arranging landscaping features. Types include simple styles with low-growing plants, garden-style styles with a variety of plants and features, and combined styles that integrate both. They offer multiple functions: ecologically, they can mitigate the heat island effect, purify the air, and retain rainwater; practically, they can protect the roof and expand activity space; and psychologically, they can beautify the environment and enhance the quality of life.

[0003] Unlike ground-level greenery, rooftop gardens are mainly located on building balconies, and their irrigation water primarily depends on tap water pipes. Directly irrigating plants with tap water can be harmful due to factors such as water quality. For example, residual chlorine and chemical additives in tap water can damage roots and alter soil pH. Calcium and magnesium ions in hard water can lead to soil alkalization and compaction, affecting the absorption of trace elements. Furthermore, microorganisms in the water may exacerbate plant diseases, and sensitive plants (such as orchids and ferns) are more prone to poor growth. Therefore, an irrigation system that can reduce reliance on tap water is needed. Utility Model Content

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. This application utilizes the coordination of photovoltaic panels, a roof cover, a water storage tank, a battery, a water inlet, and a protective casing. During normal times, the photovoltaic panels store energy for the battery using sunlight. The entire system forms a pavilion-like structure on the rooftop. When it rains, rainwater drips onto the photovoltaic panels and flows through the roof cover and water inlet into the water storage tank. Under normal circumstances, the photovoltaic panels block sunlight from directly hitting the water storage tank and roof cover, reducing heat conduction and rainwater evaporation. Simultaneously, the funnel-shaped casing prevents the vapors from escaping, further reducing water loss. Therefore, rainwater from the storage tank can be used directly for irrigation, solving the problem of existing rooftop gardens relying on tap water.

[0014] 2. This application utilizes the cooperation between the load-bearing rod, the support rod, and the auxiliary frame. The load-bearing rod provides load-bearing for the entire equipment, while the auxiliary frame and support rod enhance the overall strength of the equipment and improve its wind resistance in severe weather.
