At present, the production of most Chinese medicinal herbs has moved away from pure natural wild production and has achieved large-scale cultivation. Most of these are grown outdoors, while some places have developed indoor cultivation industries.

[0003] In the prior art, an irrigation device for planting Chinese medicinal herbs, with authorization announcement number CN218302710U, includes: a main body, the main body having a hollow cavity, multiple irrigation pipes spaced apart on the outer surface of the main body, each irrigation pipe having a flow channel, one end of the flow channel opening to communicate with the hollow cavity, and the other end opening to have a switch, a container support being provided at the bottom of the flow channel, the container support being configured to hold planting containers, and multiple water supply pipes also being provided in the hollow cavity, one end of each water supply pipe being connected to a water source, and the other end being located within the flow channel.

[0004] In existing technologies, when growing Chinese medicinal herbs indoors, planting containers with seedlings need to be placed on container supports. However, since there are too many planting containers on the irrigation device, and each planting container needs to be equipped with a corresponding irrigation pipe, each time irrigation is carried out, personnel need to turn the switches on and off one by one to drip water into multiple planting containers through multiple irrigation pipes to achieve irrigation. This operation process is not convenient. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Example: Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution for an irrigation device for planting Chinese medicinal herbs, including a hollow base 1. Multiple casters are installed at the bottom of the hollow base 1, arranged in a ring around it. A connecting cylinder 2 is rotatably connected to the top of the hollow base 1. A water tank 3 is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting cylinder 2. A support member is provided between the water tank 3 and the hollow base 1, including a support column 7. The support column 7 is located inside the connecting cylinder 2, with its top fixedly connected to the water tank 3 and its bottom fixedly connected to the bottom of the hollow base 1. A connecting pipe 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the water tank 3, and two irrigation pipes 5 are fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting pipe 4. A valve is installed on the outside of the connecting cylinder 2. Two water collection racks 13 are fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting cylinder 2. Two sets of arc-shaped holes 200 are opened on the outside of the connecting cylinder 2. The two sets of arc-shaped holes 200 are respectively set at the positions of the two water collection racks 13. A drain pipe 100 is fixedly connected to the front of the hollow base 1. A valve is installed on the outside of the drain pipe 100. The water collection rack 13 has a container structure inside. A dustproof box 11 is rotatably connected to the outside of the connecting cylinder 2. The dustproof box 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the hollow base 1. The dustproof box 11 has an external gear ring 8 and a gear 9 inside. The external gear ring 8 is fixedly connected to the outside of the bottom end of the connecting cylinder 2. The gear 9 is meshed with the outside of the external gear ring 8. The top of the gear 9 has a drive structure.

[0023] The container structure includes multiple container supports 14, which are all fixedly connected to the inside of the water collection frame 13. The multiple container supports 14 are arranged in a ring around the water collection frame 13, and planting containers 15 are set inside the container supports 14.

[0024] The drive structure includes a rotating shaft 10, which is fixedly connected to the top of the gear 9. The top end of the rotating shaft 10 passes through the top of the dustproof box 11 and is rotatably connected to the dustproof box 11. A motor 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the dustproof box 11, and the output end of the motor 12 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 10.

[0025] Specifically, the water source is first connected to the water tank 3. By controlling valve one on the irrigation pipe 5, the water flow can be flexibly adjusted to achieve precise irrigation. The water in the water tank 3 is split into two irrigation pipes 5 through the connecting pipe 4. After being controlled by valve one, the water flow is evenly output in the form of drip irrigation. At this time, the motor 12 is started. The model of motor 12 is selected according to the actual power requirements and the equipment is compatible. The output end of motor 12 drives gear 9 to rotate in the dustproof box 11 through the rotating shaft 10. Gear 9 meshes with the external gear ring 8, thereby driving the connecting cylinder 2 to rotate smoothly between the hollow base 1 and the water tank 3. The rotation of the connecting cylinder 2 further drives the two water collection racks 13 to perform circular motion synchronously, so that multiple planting containers 15 distributed in a ring on the water collection rack 13 pass under the irrigation pipe 5 in sequence to realize the irrigation operation. This structural design completely solves the cumbersome problem of having to manually operate multiple irrigation switches one by one in the existing technology, and significantly improves irrigation efficiency.

[0026] Meanwhile, due to the gap between adjacent planting containers 15, excess water dripping will fall into the water collection rack 13 and flow back to the hollow base 1 through the arc-shaped hole 200 on the outside of the connecting cylinder 2 for collection. It will then be reused through the drain pipe 100, effectively avoiding water waste.

[0027] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
