Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ecological restoration technology and is an auxiliary device for artificial planting of biological crusts. Background Technology

[0002] Biocrusts not only prevent wind erosion and stabilize sand dunes, but also have significant effects on soil and water conservation. Studies show that artificially cultivated biocrusts, under conditions of a 5° slope and a rainfall intensity of 46.8 mm / h, can reduce runoff by 49%-64%, and even completely eliminate soil erosion. Despite their significant effects, the formation and development of biocrusts are highly dependent on environmental conditions. Even with suitable ecological niches, plant mortality rates can still increase significantly under reduced rainfall conditions.

[0003] Currently, the main spraying devices for artificially cultivating biocrusts include drone spraying devices and agricultural spraying devices. These devices help people effectively cultivate biocrusts, but they also have limitations. Drone spraying devices are limited by weather conditions and have limitations in terms of endurance and payload. Agricultural spraying devices are not adaptable enough to complex terrains (such as deserts and mountains) and are not flexible enough in operation. Furthermore, the devices cannot adjust their altitude and have limitations in the spraying range. Therefore, this paper proposes an auxiliary device for artificially cultivating biocrusts: a rainwater collection and spraying device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides an auxiliary device for artificial planting of biological crusts. This device not only collects rainwater but also performs artificial watering and evenly sprays the collected rainwater onto the artificially planted biological crust area. The device features two height-adjustable telescopic tubes and rotating nozzles with different pressures. It also has a support frame with rollers and four retractable serrated support rods. This solves the problems of other spraying devices being unable to adjust height and adapt to complex terrain. Furthermore, the device can automatically collect rainwater, solving the problem of automatic water storage.

[0005] This invention is implemented as follows: an auxiliary device for artificially planting biological crusts. The device features a movable support frame, the upper end of which is welded to a cylindrical body. Inside the cylindrical body, a water collection chamber and a storage chamber are separated by a metal plate. A submersible water pump is installed in the water collection chamber. An electrical wire connected to the upper end of the pump passes through the side wall of the storage chamber and connects to an internal lithium battery. The water outlet at the upper end of the pump connects to a Y-shaped pipe, which can be connected to a suction pipe inside the water collection chamber. The suction pipe passes through pipe openings on both sides of the top of the water collection chamber (the pipe openings are connected to telescopic rigid pipes) and connects to rotating nozzles with different ranges, thus allowing watering of the artificially planted biological crusts. The movable support frame has four identical rollers at its bottom, and four retractable serrated support rods are also provided on the inner side of the bottom of the support frame. By stepping on a pedal, these retractable serrated support rods automatically pop out and insert into the sand, thereby stabilizing the device on sloping sand slopes and facilitating watering operations.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a biological sclerosis artificial planting aid, which has the following effects.

[0007] This bio-skin artificial planting aid can autonomously collect rainwater or manually inject water through a fan-shaped collection profile. The cylinder has a water collection chamber and a storage chamber. It absorbs light energy through a single silicon solar panel, converts the light energy into electrical energy to charge the lithium battery, and the lithium battery provides power to the submersible water pump. Then, through the interaction between the pipe, the telescopic rigid pipe and the rotating nozzles with different ranges, it can spray the collected rainwater or manually injected water, improve the spraying efficiency, and save manpower and material resources.

[0008] The internal storage chamber of this bio-skin artificial planting aid can be opened, which facilitates the direct installation and inspection of lithium batteries. Attached Figure Description

[0014] 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.

[0015] As shown in Figures 1-3, this utility model discloses a biological crust artificial planting aid, including an internal and external device. The internal device includes a water collection chamber 3, a storage chamber 4, a water suction pipe CO2, a submersible water pump 5, a battery 6, and a Y-type connector (E002). The external device includes a bracket 2, rollers (B01), a retractable serrated support rod (B02), a foot pedal (B03), a spring (B04), filters (A01, A02, A03), a single-silicon solar panel (A04), a telescopic rigid tube (C001), and rotating nozzles with different ranges (C002). The single-silicon solar panel (A04) is installed on the outside of the cylinder, and the bottom of the cylinder is in a closed state.

[0016] In this example, the storage chamber is encapsulated in metal to protect the lithium battery. The storage chamber is designed to be openable from the outside for easy installation and replacement of the lithium battery. The water collection chamber and the storage chamber are separated by a metal plate. The water collection chamber contains two suction pipes (C02), which are fixed to the side wall of the chamber. The lower end of each suction pipe is connected to the outlet port of a water pump, and the upper end of each suction pipe passes through a pipe opening (C01) and connects to a retractable rigid pipe (C001). The retractable rigid pipe is connected to a rotating nozzle (C002), which consists of two different... The submersible water pump 5 can be placed at the bottom of the water collection chamber. The submersible water pump has an outlet (E01) and a filter inlet (E02) at its lower end. The submersible water pump has a junction box (E03) at its upper end. The junction box is used to connect the wires and protect the connection points of the wires. The other end of the wire in the junction box can pass through the wiring port on the side wall of the storage chamber and connect to the lithium battery inside. According to the voltage, current and power on the water pump nameplate, a lithium battery with the same voltage and sufficient discharge capacity should be selected. The outlet is connected to a Y-type connector (E002). The Y-type connector can connect to the suction pipe in the water collection chamber. The storage chamber is lightweight and wrapped with a metal plate. A lithium battery 6 is installed inside the storage chamber. The lithium battery is connected to the submersible water pump in the water collection chamber through a wire, and the two work together. The storage chamber can be opened from the fan-shaped water collection port and the lithium battery can be safely installed. The storage chamber is located 2 / 3 of the way from the bottom of the water collection chamber, and a wire hole is provided on the top side of the storage chamber.

[0017] (D01) The water in the water collection chamber shall not exceed the wire hole to prevent rainwater in the water collection chamber from entering the storage chamber and damaging the lithium battery, thus preventing it from working.

[0018] The retractable saw teeth are connected to the foot pedal via a spring. On a slope, people can use the force of the foot pedal to pop out the saw teeth and make them penetrate into the sand, ensuring the stability of the device on the slope.

[0019] The telescopic rigid hose is used to adjust the height and avoid uneven water spraying in some areas; the rotating nozzles have different ranges to adapt to spraying needs at different distances and ensure uniform spraying at the bottom of the cylinder.

[0020] The lithium battery installed in the storage chamber can be manually charged, or it can be connected to the lithium battery through a single silicon solar panel that runs through the water collection chamber and the storage chamber (the single silicon solar panel cannot directly charge the lithium battery; a complete system consisting of an MPPT controller, a lithium battery charger, and a BMS is required to provide power to it).

[0021] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: Rainwater passes through a fan-shaped water inlet, through two layers of filters with different porosities (to prevent impurities from entering the water collection chamber and clogging the suction pipe), and flows into the water collection chamber through the inlet of the stainless steel filter at the bottom of the fan-shaped water inlet. A suction pipe is fixed to the side wall of the water collection chamber. The lower end of the suction pipe is connected to the outlet port of a submersible water pump (connected to a Y-shaped pipe), and the upper end passes through the pipe opening at the top of the water collection chamber (the upper end is connected to a retractable rigid pipe, which is connected to rotating nozzles with different ranges). Above the submersible water pump base at the bottom of the water collection chamber, there is a filter inlet port, and the side of the water pump has an outlet port. The top of the water pump has a junction box to protect the wires. The wires can be directly connected to the lithium battery through the side wall of the storage chamber. The lithium battery is connected to a single-silicon solar panel to provide power. The support frame at the bottom of the cylinder is a movable device so that when the artificial planting area of ​​biological crust is tilted, the operator can use the foot pedal on the side of the support plate and the pop-out serrated support rod to stabilize the equipment. Subsequently, the various devices cooperate to perform the watering task, thereby saving manpower and achieving convenience and efficiency.

[0022] In summary, this biological crust artificial planting aid can conveniently provide water resources for the crust during drought by collecting excess rainwater, and can also directly spray water onto the crust through manual water injection. Utilizing the mobile device at the bottom and the serrated support rod, it can effectively solve the problem of uneven watering on sloping sand slopes.
