Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of irrigation box technology, specifically relating to a water-saving irrigation box for horticultural cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of urban horticulture, with the improvement of people's living standards, more and more people are keen on growing vegetables in indoor spaces such as urban balconies. However, due to the limited indoor planting area, vegetables are usually grown in pots or boxes. Watering is an essential part of vegetable growth. At present, indoor vegetable gardening watering is mostly done manually. When watering manually, growers find it difficult to accurately control the amount of water. When too much water is used, the vegetable roots are soaked in water for a long time, which can lead to root hypoxia, affect the normal growth of vegetables, and even cause root rot, causing serious damage to the roots of vegetables. Although most existing planting racks are designed with drainage structures to drain excess water, this drained water is usually lost directly and cannot be reused. In today's increasingly water-scarce world, this phenomenon of wasting water resources urgently needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a water-saving irrigation box for horticultural cultivation, which solves the problem of not being able to reuse the discharged water.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a water-saving irrigation box for horticultural cultivation, comprising a box body, wherein the box body has an internal storage tank, a cavity, and a slot. A water level sensor is installed in the storage tank for real-time monitoring of the water level. A water pump and a buzzer are installed in the cavity. The water pump is connected to the storage tank and an irrigation nozzle via a delivery pipe to deliver irrigation solution from the storage tank to the irrigation nozzle. A flow control valve is installed on the delivery pipe to control the flow rate of the irrigation solution. The box body is provided with a placement plate, a fixing frame, an observation window, a stop block, a first pin seat, and casters. The placement plate is located at the top opening of the storage tank and has several equally spaced leakage holes to allow excess irrigation solution to flow down into the storage tank. The system is designed for recycling. The slot is located below the placement plate at the top of the storage tank, and a filter plate is inserted into the slot to filter the recycled liquid. The fixed frame houses a motor and has a moving slot. The motor output is connected to the drive wheel via a coupling, and the drive wheel meshes with the driven wheel. The driven wheel is mounted on a screw, which is located in the moving slot. A moving seat is mounted on the screw, and the irrigation nozzle is located at the bottom of the moving seat. The fixed frame has an operation panel as a human-machine interface, integrating a display screen and buttons. The operation panel is electrically connected to the water level sensor, water pump, buzzer, flow control valve, and motor to send control signals and receive feedback information, thereby achieving centralized control of each component.

[0005] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: after irrigation, excess irrigation liquid can flow down through the leakage hole into the storage tank for recycling. During the downward flow of excess irrigation liquid, the filter plate can filter out impurities such as mud and sand mixed in the irrigation liquid, which helps to keep the irrigation liquid in the storage tank clean.

[0006] To facilitate the installation and removal of the filter plate:

[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the outer end of the filter plate is provided with a handle and a second pin seat, while the first pin seat is located on the outer wall of the box above the second pin seat, and the stop block is located on the outer wall of the box above the first pin seat. A pin block is inserted in the first pin seat and the second pin seat, and the stop block is used to limit the movement distance of the pin block.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: By inserting the filter plate into the slot for use, when filtering the recovered liquid, the filter plate can be fixed in position by simply moving the pin block downward from the first pin seat and inserting it into the second pin seat, thus preventing the filter plate from coming out. When the pin block is moved upward and separated from the second pin seat, the stop block can limit the continuous upward movement of the pin block and prevent it from coming out of the first pin seat. At this time, the filter plate can be disassembled by simply holding the handle and pulling it out, so that the planting personnel can clean or replace the filter plate.

[0009] To facilitate observation of the interior of the storage tank:

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the observation window is located on the box body at the positive end of the liquid storage tank, and the observation window is transparent.

[0011] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that the observation window makes it easier for growers to observe the inside of the liquid storage tank.

[0012] To facilitate the linear movement of the movable seat:

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the fixing frame is located at the top of the box, while the moving slot is opened at the bottom of the horizontal end of the fixing frame.

[0014] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that the establishment of the moving slot facilitates the linear movement of the moving seat.

[0015] To facilitate adjustment of the irrigation nozzle's position:

[0016] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the screw is horizontally located in the moving groove, and the inner wall thread of the moving seat is adapted to the outer wall thread of the screw.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: when the motor starts and drives the drive wheel to rotate, the meshing of the drive wheel and the driven wheel can drive the screw to rotate, thereby causing the moving seat to move along the screw axis in the moving groove, and adjusting the position of the irrigation nozzle according to the irrigation requirements.

[0018] To facilitate the displacement conversion of the box:

[0019] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the number of the moving wheels is four, and the four moving wheels are located at the four corners of the bottom of the box, and each moving wheel is equipped with a brake block to limit the movement ability of the moving wheel.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: the installation of the moving wheels increases the convenience of the box displacement conversion, while the installation of brake blocks on the moving wheels can limit the movement ability of the moving wheels when the box is moved to a designated position for fixed use.

[0021] To facilitate the operation, setting, and control of various function modes:

[0022] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the operation panel is used to receive parameter setting instructions input by the planting personnel, and sends control signals to the water pump, flow control valve and motor according to the parameter setting instructions to control the start and stop of the water pump, the opening degree of the flow control valve and the rotation of the motor drive screw. At the same time, the operation panel receives the water level signal transmitted by the water level sensor. When the water level is lower than the set value, it controls the buzzer to issue an alarm signal and stops the water pump from working.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: After setting parameters such as irrigation mode, irrigation time, and irrigation water volume by pressing the buttons on the operation panel, the operation panel sends a control signal to the motor according to the parameters set by the grower, driving the screw to rotate and moving the irrigation nozzle to the designated position. At the same time, the operation panel controls the water pump to start, delivering the irrigation solution in the storage tank to the flow control valve through the water pipe. The operation panel adjusts the opening of the flow control valve according to the set irrigation water volume, so that the irrigation solution is sprayed onto the planting pots above the placement plate through the irrigation nozzle at a suitable flow rate. The water level sensor can monitor the water level in the storage tank in real time and transmit the water level signal to the operation panel. When the water level is lower than the set value, the operation panel controls the buzzer to sound an alarm and stops the water pump to prevent the water pump from running dry and being damaged.

[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model in any way.

[0031] like Figure 1-4As shown, a water-saving irrigation box for horticultural cultivation includes a box body 1. The box body 1 has an internal storage tank 2, a cavity 3, and a slot 23. A water level sensor 4 is installed in the storage tank 2 to monitor the water level in real time. A water pump 6 and a buzzer 7 are installed in the cavity 3. The water pump 6 is connected to the storage tank 2 and an irrigation nozzle 9 via a delivery pipe 8 to deliver irrigation solution from the storage tank 2 to the irrigation nozzle 9. A flow control valve is installed on the delivery pipe 8 to control the flow rate of the irrigation solution. The box body 1 is equipped with a placement plate 10, a fixing frame 11, an observation window 12, a stop block 13, a first pin seat 14, and casters 15. The placement plate 10 is located at the top opening of the storage tank 2 and has several equally spaced leakage holes 16 for drainage. Excess irrigation fluid flows down to the storage tank 2 for recycling. The slot 23 is located below the placement plate 10 at the upper end of the storage tank 2, and a filter plate 5 is inserted in the slot 23 for filtering the recycled liquid. The fixed frame 11 houses a motor 17 and has a moving slot 18. The output end of the motor 17 is connected to the drive wheel 20 via a coupling, and the drive wheel 20 is meshed with the driven wheel 21. The driven wheel 21 is mounted on a screw 19, which is located in the moving slot 18. A moving seat 22 is mounted on the screw 19, and the irrigation nozzle 9 is located at the bottom of the moving seat 22. The fixed frame 11 has an operation panel 24, which serves as a human-machine interface and integrates a display screen and buttons. The operation panel 24 is connected to the water level sensor 4 and the water pump. 6. The buzzer, 7. The flow control valve, and 17 are all electrically connected, used to send control signals and receive feedback information, thereby achieving centralized control of each component. After irrigation, excess irrigation liquid can flow down through the leakage hole 16 into the storage tank 2 for recycling. During the downward flow of excess irrigation liquid, the filter plate 5 can filter impurities such as mud and sand mixed in the irrigation liquid, which helps to keep the irrigation liquid in the storage tank 2 clean. The filter plate 5 is provided with a handle 25 and a second pin seat 26 at its outer end, while the first pin seat 14 is located on the outer wall of the box 1 above the second pin seat 26. The stop block 13 is located on the outer wall of the box 1 above the first pin seat 14, and a pin block 27 is inserted into the first pin seat 14 and the second pin seat 26. The stop block 13 is used to restrict the pin block 27. The movement distance is determined by inserting the filter plate 5 into the slot 23. When filtering the recovered liquid, simply move the pin 27 downwards from the first pin seat 14 into the second pin seat 26 to fix the position of the filter plate 5, preventing it from coming out. When the pin 27 is moved upwards and separated from the second pin seat 26, the stop block 13 restricts the continued upward movement of the pin 27, preventing it from detaching from the first pin seat 14. At this point, simply hold the handle 25 and pull out the filter plate 5 to disassemble it, allowing growers to clean or replace it. The observation window 12 is located on the box 1 at the front end of the storage tank 2 and is transparent, allowing growers to easily observe the inside of the storage tank 2.The fixed frame 11 is located at the top of the housing 1, while the movable slot 18 is formed at the bottom of the horizontal end of the fixed frame 11. The movable slot 18 facilitates the linear movement of the movable seat 22. The screw 19 is horizontally located in the movable slot 18, and the inner thread of the movable seat 22 is compatible with the outer thread of the screw 19. When the motor 17 starts and drives the drive wheel 20 to rotate, the engagement between the drive wheel 20 and the driven wheel 21 drives the screw 19 to rotate, thereby causing the movable seat 22 to move axially along the screw 19 in the movable slot 18. This allows the watering nozzle 9 to be adjusted according to the irrigation requirements. The position is adjustable. There are four movable wheels 15, located at the four corners of the bottom of the housing 1. Each wheel 15 has a brake block to limit its movement. The presence of the movable wheels 15 increases the ease of movement of the housing 1, while the brake blocks restrict its movement when the housing 1 is moved to a designated position. The operation panel 24 receives parameter setting commands from the planting personnel and sends them to the water pump 6 and flow controller according to the command. The control valve and motor 17 send control signals to control the start and stop of the water pump 6, the opening of the flow control valve, and the rotation of the screw 19 driven by the motor 17. Simultaneously, the operation panel 24 receives the water level signal transmitted by the water level sensor 4. When the water level is lower than the set value, the buzzer 7 sounds an alarm and the water pump 6 stops working. After setting parameters such as irrigation mode, irrigation time, and irrigation water volume by pressing the buttons on the operation panel 24, the operation panel 24 sends a control signal to the motor 17 according to the parameters set by the grower, driving the screw 19 to rotate and moving the irrigation nozzle 9 to the designated position. Simultaneously, the control panel 24 starts the water pump 6, which delivers the irrigation solution from the storage tank 2 to the flow control valve via the water pipe. The control panel 24 adjusts the opening of the flow control valve according to the set irrigation volume, allowing the irrigation solution to be sprayed at a suitable flow rate through the irrigation nozzle 9 onto the planting pots above the placement plate 10. The water level sensor 4 monitors the water level in the storage tank 2 in real time and transmits the water level signal to the control panel 24. When the water level falls below the set value, the control panel 24 controls the buzzer 7 to sound an alarm and stops the water pump 6 to prevent it from running dry and being damaged.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During use, the grower inputs parameters such as irrigation mode, irrigation time, and irrigation water volume via buttons on the operation panel 24. After receiving these parameter setting instructions, the operation panel 24 sends a control signal to the motor 17, driving the motor 17 to start, which in turn drives the drive wheel 20 to rotate. Because the drive wheel 20 meshes with the driven wheel 21, it can drive the screw 19 to rotate in the moving groove 18. Since the inner thread of the moving seat 22 is compatible with the outer thread of the screw 19, when the screw 19 rotates, the moving seat 22 will move along the axial direction of the screw 19 in the moving groove 18, thereby driving the irrigation nozzle 9 to move to the designated position. Simultaneously, the operation panel 24 controls the water pump 6 to start, transporting the irrigation liquid in the storage tank 2 to the flow control valve via the delivery pipe 8. The operation panel 24 adjusts the opening of the flow control valve according to the set irrigation water volume, thus facilitating irrigation. The irrigation solution is sprayed at a suitable flow rate through the irrigation nozzle 9 onto the planting pots above the placement plate 10. Excess irrigation solution flows down through the drain hole 16 into the storage tank 2 for recycling. During the flow, the filter plate 5 filters out impurities such as mud and sand in the irrigation solution to keep the irrigation solution in the storage tank 2 clean. The water level sensor 4 monitors the water level in the storage tank 2 in real time and transmits the water level signal to the operation panel 24. When the water level is lower than the set value, the operation panel 24 controls the buzzer 7 to sound an alarm and stops the water pump 6 to prevent the water pump 6 from running dry and being damaged. In addition, the grower can also observe the inside of the storage tank 2 through the observation window 12 to understand the condition of the irrigation solution. When it is necessary to move the irrigation box to another location, the box body 1 can be pushed, and the displacement can be changed using the moving wheels 15. The movement ability of the moving wheels 15 is limited by the brake block, so that the irrigation box can be used in a fixed position.
