Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural irrigation technology, specifically to an irrigation device for planting Chinese medicinal herbs with adjustable water volume. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) refers to medicinal substances used to prevent and treat diseases, guided by traditional Chinese medicine theories. These substances come from a wide range of sources, including plants, animals, and minerals. Among them, plant-based TCM accounts for the largest proportion and relies heavily on artificial cultivation. Irrigation, as a core aspect of TCM cultivation, directly affects the growth of medicinal materials and the accumulation of effective components.

[0003] Existing irrigation systems for Chinese medicinal herb cultivation mostly employ drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation, with water volume adjustment primarily achieved through manual valve control and nozzle replacement. However, manual valve adjustment relies on manual operation, making real-time and precise control difficult; while nozzle replacement requires machine shutdown, resulting in low efficiency.

[0026] Example 1:

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 6This utility model provides a technical solution: an adjustable water volume irrigation device for planting Chinese medicinal herbs, which is equipped with a water storage tank 1, a water injection mechanism 2 and a main controller 7 to ensure sufficient water volume during irrigation.

[0028] A water injection mechanism 2 is installed on the top of the water storage tank 1, and a main controller 7 is installed on the front. An inlet 101 for installing the water injection mechanism 2 is located on the top of the water storage tank 1, and an outlet pipe 102 connected to a water distributor 3 is located at the bottom of the water storage tank 1. The water injection mechanism 2 includes a fixing plate 201, a water injection solenoid valve 202, a water injection pipe 203, and a water level sensor 204. The water injection mechanism 2 is mounted on the top of the water storage tank 1 via the fixing plate 201. The water injection solenoid valve 202 is connected to the water injection pipe 203, and the other end of the water injection pipe 203 is connected to an external water source. Two water level sensors 204 are located inside the water storage tank 1, one at the bottom and one at the top, used to monitor the water content inside the water storage tank 1. Therefore, the inlet 101... The opening is a ring-shaped groove with a central opening slightly smaller than the ring-shaped groove, facilitating the installation of the fixing plate 201. The water outlet pipe 102 is connected at one end to the water storage tank 1 and at the other end to the water distributor 3, facilitating the flow of water from the water storage tank 1 into the water distributor 3. The water injection solenoid valve 202 is used to control the water injection pipe 203. When the water level in the water storage tank 1 is insufficient, the main controller 7 can control the water injection solenoid valve 202 to open, and the water injection pipe 203 injects water into the device. When the water level reaches the required level, the water injection solenoid valve 202 closes to block the water injection pipe 203. There are two water level sensors 204, one located at the bottom of the inner wall of the water storage tank 1 to sense the remaining water level, and the other located at the top of the inner wall of the water storage tank 1 to sense when the water injection stops.

[0029] Example 2:

[0030] To control the flow rate of drainage, a water distributor 3 is installed;

[0031] A water distributor 3 is installed at the bottom of the water storage tank 1. Drain outlets 301 are provided in all four directions of the water distributor 3. Each drain outlet 301 is equipped with a drain solenoid valve 304. Therefore, a water pump is installed inside the water distributor 3 to provide assistance to the water. Drain outlets 301 are provided around the water distributor 3 for water to flow out. Each drain outlet 301 is equipped with a drain solenoid valve 304. The drain solenoid valve 304 is set to control the flow rate of the discharged water and realize the adjustment of the water volume.

[0032] Example 3:

[0033] To facilitate changing the irrigation method, a flow controller 4, a water delivery pipe 5, and a support 6 are installed;

[0034] Each drainage solenoid valve 304 is equipped with a flow controller 4 on one side, which is connected to the water supply pipe 5. Multiple supports 6 are mounted on the surface of the water supply pipe 5. A control mechanism 401 is mounted on the top of the flow controller 4, and a rotatable rotating core 402 is mounted in the middle. The rotating core 402 is semi-cylindrical and its rotation controls the water flow direction. Multiple atomizing nozzles 501 are evenly distributed on the top of the water supply pipe 5, and multiple drip irrigation heads 502 are evenly distributed on the bottom. The middle of the water supply pipe 5 is divided into two independent spaces by a central partition 503. A collar 601 is mounted on the top of each support 6 for fixing it to the surface of the water supply pipe 5, and a humidity sensor 602 is mounted on the bottom. The humidity sensor 602 is long and conical, providing stability while also transmitting soil moisture information to the main controller 7. The rotating core 402 is a rotatable semi-cylindrical... The water pipe is cylindrical, so when the rotating core 402 is in use, when the rotating core 402 rotates to the upper part, the water flows into the lower part of the water pipe 5 through the gap at the bottom, achieving the effect of drip irrigation. When the rotating core 402 rotates to the lower part, the water flows into the upper part of the water pipe 5 through the gap at the top, achieving the effect of sprinkler irrigation. The rotation of the rotating core 402 is controlled by the control mechanism 401. The middle part of the water pipe 5 is divided into two independent areas by the central partition 503. The top of the water pipe 5 is equipped with an atomizing nozzle 501, and the bottom is equipped with a drip irrigation head 502. The collar 601 is set to facilitate the fixing of the bracket 6 to the surface of the water pipe 5. The bottom of the bracket 6 is also equipped with a humidity sensor 602. The humidity sensor 602 is long and conical. When inserted into the soil, it can provide stability and transmit the humidity inside the soil to the main controller 7 so that the main controller 7 can adjust it autonomously.

[0035] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that can control it.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
