[0023] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a voice-controlled intelligent irrigation controller is provided.

[0024] Example 1;

[0025] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the voice-controlled intelligent irrigation controller according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an adjustment structure 5. The adjustment structure 5 includes a dual-axis motor 501, a threaded rod 502, a threaded block 503, a connecting rod 504, a slider 505, an adjusting rod 506, and a slide rail 507. The two drive ends of the dual-axis motor 501 are fixedly connected to the threaded rod 502. The threaded rod 502 is threadedly connected to the threaded block 503.

The two drive ends of the dual-axis motor 501 respectively drive the two threaded rods 502 to transmit power to the threaded block 503. The threaded block 503 is linearly driven under the guidance of the slide rail 507, and then linearly driven on the slide rail 507 through the connecting rod 504 and the slider 505. The opposing transmission of the two sets of sliders 505 causes the adjusting rod 506 to change the angle with the horizontal plane, and lifts and adjusts its shield 4, so that it can protect and shield the sound receiving unit 103 and perform voice receiving in an unobstructed voice control mode. The sound receiving unit 103 can convert sound into electrical signals and transmit them to the voice control module. Conventional smart irrigation controllers are usually installed outdoors in an unobstructed environment, and the weather conditions will affect the service life of its sound receiving unit 103. The adjustable height shield 4 can protect the sound receiving unit 103 and enable it to be open during use.

[0026] The slide rail 507 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting cabinet 101, which is part of the cabinet structure 1. A cabinet door 102 is connected to the mounting cabinet 101 via hinges. Sound receiving units 103 are installed around the perimeter of the mounting cabinet 101. The mounting cabinet 101 is divided into an inner cabinet and an outer cabinet. The outer cabinet has a control panel 104. An adjusting rod 506 is connected to a shield 4 via a hinge seat, and the shield 4 is fixedly connected to the hinge seat. Filter structures 2 are installed on both sides of the mounting cabinet 101.

The controller module is a TMC424 controller, which can record meteorological data around the smart irrigation controller in real time. Then, through the electrical control connection with the dual-axis motor 501, it realizes the shading adjustment control of the shield 4. When the weather is in a friendly environment to the sound receiving unit 103, the shield 4 is raised; otherwise, the shield 4 is closed. The control panel 104 on the outer cabinet is equipped with corresponding control buttons, which can control and view various functions and data.

[0027] The filter structure 2 includes an inclined cover 201, a connecting pipe 202, a fan 203, a dehumidifying filter 204, a sealing plate 205, a magnetic block 206, and a compression spring 207.

The two sides of the connecting pipe 202 are respectively connected to the inclined cover 201 and the fan 203. The dehumidifying filter 204 is installed on one side of the fan 203, and the sealing plate 205 is installed on one side of the dehumidifying filter 204. An adjustable gap is provided between the sealing plate 205 and the dehumidifying filter 204. The sealing plate 205 is installed on one side of the dehumidifying filter 204 via a sliding rod. A compression spring 207 is sleeved on the sliding rod between the sealing plate 205 and the dehumidifying filter 204. A magnetic block 206 is installed at the sliding connection groove, and an electromagnet is provided at the end of the slide rod. The electromagnet is energized and has the same magnetic pole as the opposite side of the magnetic block 206. The filter structure 2 has a good function of filtering moisture in the air. The fans 203 of the filter structures 2 on both sides of the mounting cabinet 101 have the same air delivery direction, so that the air outside the cabinet can be dehumidified by the dehumidifying filter 204 and then sent into the cabinet. At the same time, combined with the meteorological monitoring sensor, when the external environment is not suitable for air exchange, the electromagnet is energized by controlling the electromagnet to generate the same magnetic pole as the magnetic block 206. Then, by compressing its compression spring 207, the sealing plate 205 seals the surface of the dehumidifying filter 204 to prevent gas from flowing in. At the same time, the fan 203 is turned off to protect the equipment inside the cabinet.

[0028] Control structure 3 includes an input power supply 301, a power module 302, an output power supply 303, and a wireless control module 304. The input voltage of the input power supply 301 is 220V. The input power supply 301 is electrically connected to the power module 302, which converts the input 220V voltage to 24V for output. The output terminal of the power module 302 is electrically connected to the output power supply 303, which is electrically connected to the wireless control module 304.

[0029] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the working principle or operation method of this utility model in actual process will be described in detail below.

[0030] In summary, with the help of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, the two drive ends of the dual-axis motor 501 respectively drive the two threaded rods 502 to transmit power to the threaded block 503. The threaded block 503 performs linear transmission under the guidance of the slide rail 507, and then performs linear transmission on the slide rail 507 through the connecting rod 504 and the slider 505. The opposing transmission of the two sets of sliders 505 causes the adjusting rod 506 to change the angle with the horizontal plane, thereby lifting and adjusting the shield 4, so that it can protect and shield the sound receiving unit 103 and perform voice receiving in the unobstructed voice control mode. The intelligent irrigation controller is typically installed outdoors in an unobstructed environment, and weather conditions can affect the lifespan of its sound receiving unit 103. An adjustable-height shield 4 protects the sound receiving unit 103 and allows it to be opened during use. The mounting cabinet 101 houses a controller module connected to a weather monitoring sensor, which records real-time weather data around the intelligent irrigation controller. This data, through an electrical connection to a dual-axis motor 501, controls the shield 4's adjustment. When the weather is favorable for the sound receiving unit 103, the shield 4 is positioned at a height that allows for better shading. In the raised state, and conversely, in the lowered state, the shield 4 is in the shielded state. The filter structure 2 has a good function of filtering moisture in the air. The fans 203 of the filter structures 2 on both sides of the mounting cabinet 101 have the same air delivery direction, so that the air outside the cabinet can be smoothly dehumidified by the dehumidifying filter 204 and then sent into the cabinet. At the same time, combined with the meteorological monitoring sensor, when the external environment is not suitable for air exchange, the electromagnet is energized by controlling the electromagnet to generate the same magnetic pole as the magnetic block 206. Then, by compressing its compression spring 207, the sealing plate 205 seals the surface of the dehumidifying filter 204 to prevent gas from entering. The flow is circulated, and the fan 203 is turned off to protect the equipment inside the cabinet. The input power supply 301, power module 302, and output power supply 303 of the control structure 3 convert the 220V mains voltage into 24V to power the equipment. The wireless control module 304 is a WVL wireless valve control unit, which is used for flexible control systems that connect traditional wired, EZDS two-wire and wireless valves. The flow meter on it is compatible with flow monitoring and alarm. The voice control module can control the wireless valve by voice through the wireless control module 304, such as issuing voice commands to control the opening and closing of the irrigation valve.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
