Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an agricultural machinery irrigation device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern agricultural production, irrigation is a crucial link in ensuring high and stable crop yields. Traditional irrigation methods, such as flood irrigation, not only waste water resources severely but are also inefficient. Currently, field irrigation mainly relies on large-scale fixed sprinkler irrigation equipment (such as center-pivot sprinkler systems) or manually moved pipelines.

[0003] Large-scale stationary sprinkler irrigation equipment is highly automated, but it involves huge investment costs and lacks flexibility, making it difficult to adapt to the differentiated irrigation needs of small and medium-sized plots, irregularly shaped fields, and different crop growth cycles. Furthermore, the equipment cannot be moved and typically requires a complex field pipeline system.

[0004] While the initial investment in manually moving pipelines is lower, it requires a lot of manpower and time for laying, moving, and recycling, resulting in high labor intensity, low irrigation efficiency, and difficulty in matching efficient modern agricultural operation models.

[0005] Furthermore, many existing mobile irrigation devices mounted on agricultural machinery (such as tractors) often have limited functionality, typically only capable of irrigation. When it is necessary to replenish the device's own water tank, a fixed water source must be found or additional equipment must be used, a cumbersome process that reduces overall work efficiency. At the same time, when directly drawing natural water sources (such as river water or pond water), impurities and suspended solids in the water can easily clog the nozzles, affecting the reliability and lifespan of the irrigation system.

[0006] Based on the above problems, an agricultural machinery irrigation device was designed that is towed by agricultural machinery, is suitable for flexible field operations, and provides convenient and quick water replenishment. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an agricultural machinery irrigation device that is towed and moved by agricultural machinery, suitable for flexible field operations, and provides convenient and quick water replenishment.

[0008] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] An agricultural irrigation device includes a carrier connected to the agricultural machinery, and further includes:

[0010] The water tank structure is fixed to the vehicle and moves with the vehicle.

[0011] The water pump is fixed to the carrier and is powered by the agricultural machinery's power supply.

[0012] A sprinkler system, wherein the outlet end of a water pump is installed in the sprinkler system;

[0013] A water intake system is installed at the inlet of the water pump and draws water from the water tank structure or directly from an external water source.

[0014] Preferably, the water tank structure includes a water tank body and a tank cover. The tank cover is detachably installed on the top of the water tank body. The bottom of the water tank body is fixed to the carrier. External rotating brackets are installed on both the left and right sides of the water tank body. A water outlet pipe is provided at the bottom of the side of the water tank body, and a water inlet pipe is provided at the top of the side of the water tank body.

[0015] Preferably, a stepped groove is provided at the top of the box cover near the water inlet pipe, the stepped groove passes through the box cover, a movable cover is flipped and fitted in the stepped groove, a filter box is fixed in the stepped groove, the water inlet pipe is inserted into the filter box, and the surface of the filter box is evenly distributed with filter holes.

[0016] Preferably, the sprinkler system includes a main pipe, a tee pipe, a sprinkler pipe, a hose, and sprinkler heads. The lower end of the main pipe connects to the outlet of the water pump, and a first valve is installed at the upper end of the main pipe, through which the inlet pipe is connected. A second valve is fitted between the tee pipe and the main pipe, and the second valve is located below the first valve. The remaining two passages of the tee pipe are connected to the sprinkler pipe through the hose. The sprinkler heads are evenly distributed at the bottom of the sprinkler pipe, and the end of the sprinkler pipe away from the hose is closed. A support block is fixed on the sprinkler pipe, and screws are fixed at both the upper and lower ends of the support block. The outer rotating bracket has an assembly port, and the support block is rotatably installed in the assembly port. The screw passes through the outer rotating bracket and is fitted with a nut. A damping pad is fitted on the screw, and the damping pad is located between the nut and the outer rotating bracket.

[0017] Preferably, the water intake system includes a first tee pipe, which is installed at the inlet of the water pump. A third valve is installed between the first tee pipe and the outlet pipe. A fourth valve is installed at the remaining passage of the first tee pipe, and a first flexible hose is connected through the fourth valve.

[0018] Preferably, a filter tube is inserted at the end of the first flexible tube, the end of the filter tube away from the flexible tube is closed, and a filter screen is provided on the tube body of the filter tube.

[0019] Preferably, a positioning tube for inserting the first flexible hose is provided on the side of the water tank body.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] This utility model creatively integrates the two major functions of "irrigation" and "self-replenishing water" into one. By simply switching the valve group (first valve, second valve, third valve, and fourth valve), it is possible to quickly switch between irrigation mode and water replenishment mode; making it convenient to replenish water after use.

[0022] The sprinkler pipe is mounted on the outer rotating bracket via a support block and can be manually rotated outward to significantly increase the effective irrigation width. It is particularly suitable for simultaneous irrigation of multiple rows of crops. The agricultural machine only needs to pass between the crop rows once to complete the operation, making it highly adaptable.

[0023] The device features a highly efficient dual filtration mechanism. During water intake, the water first undergoes coarse filtration through a metal filter screen on the end of the first flexible hose 54, intercepting larger particles of impurities. Subsequently, when injected into the water tank, the water flows through the filter box and its internal filter holes (with optional filter cotton) for secondary fine filtration. This system effectively prevents impurities and algae in the water from clogging the precision spray nozzles, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the sprinkler system and reducing maintenance frequency and failure rate.

[0024] A clearance is provided between the external rotating bracket and the water tank body to effectively prevent the hose from being squeezed and worn during the rotation of the sprinkler pipe. Meanwhile, damping pads are installed at the hinge points of the sprinkler pipe; adjusting the tightness of the nut provides appropriate frictional resistance, ensuring that the sprinkler pipe maintains a stable deployment angle under irrigation and water pressure impact, preventing it from swinging arbitrarily. Furthermore, details such as the positioning tube increase the convenience of equipment storage. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0039] See Figure 1 An agricultural irrigation device is shown, including a carrier 1 connected to the agricultural machinery. The carrier 1 is connected by a pin connection, allowing the carrier to rotate along the pin position to accommodate the turning motion of the agricultural machinery. It also includes:

[0040] Water tank structure 2, which is fixed to the carrier 1 and moves with the carrier,

[0041] Water pump 3 is fixed on the carrier 1. Water pump 3 is powered by the power supply of the agricultural machinery. Water pump 3 is equipped with an independent control switch, which is integrated into the control panel of the agricultural machinery to facilitate starting or stopping water pump 3 when driving the agricultural machinery.

[0042] A sprinkler system, wherein the outlet end of the water pump 3 is installed in the sprinkler system;

[0043] The water intake system is installed at the inlet of the water pump 3 and draws water from the water tank structure or directly from an external water source.

[0044] In the above technical solution, the sprinkler system is responsible for spraying and irrigating crops, and can also be responsible for replenishing water tank structure 2.

[0045] The water intake system is responsible for drawing water from the water tank structure 2 and delivering it to the sprinkler system for irrigation. Alternatively, it can directly draw water from an external water source and store it in the water tank structure 2.

[0046] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the water tank structure 2 includes a water tank body 21 and a tank cover 22. The tank cover 22 is detachably installed on the top of the water tank body 21. The bottom of the water tank body 21 is fixed to the carrier 1. External rotating brackets 23 are installed on both the left and right sides of the water tank body 21. A water outlet pipe 24 is provided at the bottom of the side of the water tank body 21, and a water inlet pipe 25 is provided at the top of the side of the water tank body 21.

[0047] A stepped groove 220 is provided at the top of the cover 22 near the water inlet pipe. The stepped groove 220 passes through the cover 22. A movable cover 223 is flipped and fitted in the stepped groove 220. A filter box 224 is fixed in the stepped groove 220. The water inlet pipe 25 is inserted into the filter box 224. Filter holes 225 are evenly distributed on the surface of the filter box 224.

[0048] In the above technical solution, when water from an external water source is drawn by a water pump and transported into the water tank body 21, the water is first discharged into the filter box 224, and the water is filtered through the filter holes 224 on the surface of the filter box 224. The filtered water is then stored in the water tank body 21.

[0049] To improve filtration accuracy, multiple layers of filter cotton can be laid inside the filter box 224, with the height of the filter cotton being higher than the filter holes 224.

[0050] See Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the sprinkler system includes a main pipe 41, a T-joint pipe 42, a sprinkler pipe 43, a flexible hose 44, and sprinkler heads 45. The lower end of the main pipe 41 connects to the outlet of the water pump 3, and a first valve 46 is installed at the upper end of the main pipe 41, through which the inlet pipe 25 is connected. A second valve 47 is fitted between the T-joint pipe 42 and the main pipe 41, and the second valve 47 is located below the first valve 46. The remaining two passages of the T-joint pipe 42 are connected to the sprinkler pipe 43 through the flexible hose 44. Multiple sprinkler heads 45 are provided. Spray nozzles 45 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the spray pipe 43, and the end of the spray pipe 43 away from the hose 44 is closed; a bracket block 48 is fixed to the spray pipe 43 by screws, and screws 49 are fixed at both the upper and lower ends of the bracket block 48; the outer rotating bracket 23 has an assembly port, and the bracket block 48 is rotatably installed in the assembly port 23; the screw passes through the outer rotating bracket 23 and is fitted with a nut 410; a damping pad 411 is sleeved on the screw 49, and the damping pad 411 is located between the nut 410 and the outer rotating bracket 23.

[0051] In the above technical solution, the sprinkler pipe 43 is rotatable and can be opened. After being opened, the irrigation width of the device is increased. Especially when irrigating multiple rows of plants, the device can pass between two adjacent rows of plants and achieve large-area irrigation through the outward-opening sprinkler pipe 43.

[0052] The damping pad 411 is a rubber pad. After the nut 410 is tightened, the sprinkler pipe 43 needs to be rotated to open so that the sprinkler pipe 43 will not deflect without human operation during irrigation.

[0053] A certain gap is maintained between the outer rotating bracket 23 and the water tank body 21 to provide room for the hose to move and to prevent the hose 44 from being squeezed when the spray pipe 43 is rotated open.

[0054] See Figure 1 As shown, the water intake system includes a first three-way pipe 51, which is installed at the water inlet of the water pump 3. A third valve 52 is installed between the first three-way pipe 51 and the water outlet pipe 24. A fourth valve 53 is installed at the remaining passage of the first three-way pipe 51, and a first flexible hose 54 is connected through the fourth valve 53.

[0055] In the above technical solution, when irrigating through the sprinkler pipe, the fourth valve 53 and the first valve 46 are kept closed, while the third valve 52 and the second valve 47 are kept open. This allows the water pump 3 to draw water from the water tank body 21 when it is operating, and then spray it out from the nozzle 45 through the main pipe 41, the three-way pipe 42, the hose 44 and the sprinkler pipe 43.

[0056] When it is necessary to replenish water in the water tank body 21, close the third valve 52 and the second valve 45, open the fourth valve 5 and the first valve 46, and insert the end of the first hose 54 into an external water source (the external water source includes river water, lake water, pool water, etc.). The water from the external water source is pumped into the water tank body 21 by the water pump 3 for storage.

[0057] For easier observation, a liquid level observation window 211 can be integrated on the water tank body 21.

[0058] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, a filter tube 541 is inserted into the end of the first flexible tube 54. The filter tube 541 and the first flexible tube 54 are interference fit. The end of the filter tube 541 away from the flexible tube is closed. A filter screen 542 is provided on the tube body of the filter tube 541.

[0059] Filter 542 is a metal filter screen. The first stage of filtration is completed through filter 542, and the second stage of filtration is completed in conjunction with filter box 224.

[0060] The above two filtration processes maintain water cleanliness to prevent impurities from clogging the nozzles.

[0061] A positioning tube 221 for inserting the first flexible hose is provided on the side of the water tank body 21.

[0062] Positioning tube 221 mainly serves a storage function.
