A main control box 4 is provided above the fertilizer mixing chamber 3. An irrigation nozzle assembly 5 is provided on the main control box 4. The irrigation nozzle assembly 5 includes a central water pipe 501 installed on the main control box 4 and multiple branch water pipes 502 connected to and communicating with the central water pipe 501. Each end of the branch water pipe 502 is provided with a nozzle 503. The fertilizer mixing chamber 3 is connected to the central water pipe 501 through a pipeline.

[0031] This irrigation device integrates remote sensing technology and automatic irrigation, enabling more rational and targeted fertilization or irrigation based on land and crop conditions, thereby improving the effectiveness of fertilization and irrigation. Moreover, the entire device has a simple structure, small size, is easy to manufacture and install, and has a relatively low cost.

[0032] The bottom support 1 is used to support the components above the entire device and also facilitates the installation of the entire device on the soil (land); the soil detection remote sensor assembly 2 is mainly used to detect the soil condition and send the detected soil data to the main control box 4; the fertilizer mixing chamber 3 can receive irrigation water and / or fertilizer water, can also mix and stir the fertilizer water, and can also transport the water in it to the central water pipe.

[0033] The central water pipe 501 is used to support and install the branch water pipes 502, and to transport water from the fertilizer mixing chamber to each branch water pipe 502 for irrigation using the nozzles 503 at the ends of the branch water pipes 502.

[0034] The main control box 4 can receive detection data sent by the soil detection remote sensor, and control the irrigation nozzle assembly and the fertilizer mixing chamber according to the detection data, so as to carry out irrigation more accurately and purposefully, improve resource utilization efficiency, and achieve sustainable development.

[0035] Furthermore, a side water inlet 504 is provided on one side of the central water pipe 501, and the side water inlet 504 is connected to the fertilizer mixing chamber 3 through the pipeline; a side water pump head 505 is also provided at the side water inlet 504, and the side water pump head 505 is electrically connected to the main control box 4.

[0036] In this embodiment, a side water inlet 504 is provided on the left side of the central water pipe 501. The side water inlet 504 is the water inlet of the central water pipe 501. The side water inlet 504 is provided with the side water pump head 505.

[0037] Furthermore, there are 4 to 10 radially distributed branch water pipes 502, and each nozzle 503 is connected to the branch water pipe 502 via a branch water pipe pump head 506. The branch water pipe pump head 506 is electrically connected to the main control box 4.

[0038] In this embodiment, there are eight branch water pipes 502 and eight nozzles 503, which are evenly distributed in a circle on the distribution plane.

The nozzles 503 are connected to the branch water pipes 502 through branch water pipe pump heads 506, which can control the water spray volume of each nozzle.

[0039] In some embodiments, the junction between the nozzle 503 and the branch pipe pump head 506 is a spherical structure (such as a universal joint). The spherical structure allows the branch pipe pump head 506 to change the direction of the nozzle 503. The main control box can control the pump head according to the soil conditions, thereby controlling the rate and direction of water spraying from the nozzle.

[0040] Furthermore, the fertilizer mixing chamber 3 has a first water inlet 301 and a second water inlet 302 on its side. The first water inlet 301 is used to connect to tap water, and the second water inlet 302 is used to connect to fertilizer water. The fertilizer mixing chamber 3 has an outlet 303 on its other side, which is connected to the pipeline. The fertilizer mixing chamber 3 is also equipped with a spiral stirrer 304.

[0041] The fertilizer mixing chamber 3 can use the spiral agitator to mix and stir the fertilizer water so that the fertilizer can be pumped out and irrigated evenly. At the same time, the fertilizer mixing chamber is also a water storage chamber, which can hold a certain amount of water for pumping out, rather than directly connecting to an external water pipe for spraying.

[0042] In this embodiment, the water outlet 303 is located on the left side of the fertilizer mixing chamber 3. The water outlet 303 can be connected to the side water outlet 504 on the left side of the central water pipe 501 via a water pipe. The liquid finally obtained in the fertilizer mixing chamber 3 is output to the central water pipe 501 for spraying through the water outlet 303. The first water inlet 301 and the second water inlet 302 are located on the back of the fertilizer mixing chamber 3.

[0043] Furthermore, the spiral mixer 304 is installed at the bottom of the fertilizer mixing chamber 3 via the mounting base 305. A first pump head is provided at the first water inlet 301, and a second pump head is provided at the second water inlet 302. The spiral mixer 304, the first pump head, and the second pump head are all electrically connected to the main control box 4.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first pump head and the second pump head are controlled by the main control box 4 to regulate the flow rate of liquid into the first and second water inlets. The spiral agitator 304 has rotatable blades and is connected to the bottom of the fertilizer mixing chamber 3 via a mounting base 305. When liquid enters the fertilizer mixing chamber 3, the spiral agitator 304 can be operated by pressing the function button on the main control box 4 to ensure thorough mixing of the liquid flowing into the first and second water inlets.

[0045] Furthermore, the main control box 4 includes a box body 401 and a controller disposed inside the box body 401. The central water pipe 501 is connected and installed on the top of the box body 401, and the bottom of the box body 401 is installed on the fertilizer mixing chamber 3 by several support rods 6. The outer periphery of the box body 401 is also provided with a display screen 402 and multiple function buttons 403 that are electrically connected to the controller.

[0046] The housing 401 can be used to install the water pipes above, and the internal space can also be used to install electronic devices such as controllers and power supplies. The display screen 402 and the function buttons 403 are located on the front of the housing 401, with the function buttons 403 located below the display screen 402 and evenly spaced. By pressing different function buttons 403, the controller can be operated to perform corresponding functions, such as detecting key indicators of soil temperature, humidity, nitrogen and phosphorus content, etc. The detected data and results can be visualized on the display screen for user reference.

[0047] The upper part of the support rod 6 is connected to the box body 401, and the lower part is connected to the fertilizer mixing chamber 3, so that the main control box 4 and the fertilizer mixing chamber 3 are tightly connected together. When the vibration damping support rod is used, the vibration of the entire device caused by machine vibration during the operation of the fertilizer mixing chamber 3 can also be reduced.

[0048] Furthermore, the bottom support 1 includes a bottom mounting base 101, which is connected to the fertilizer mixing chamber 3 via a central connecting rod 7. The soil detection remote sensor assembly 2 is installed below the bottom mounting base 101. Multiple support legs 102 are also provided below the bottom mounting base 101.

[0049] The support leg 102 is a telescopic rod with a knob 103, which can adjust its length; the end of the support leg 102 is provided with a plurality of metal columns 104, and the end of the metal columns 104 is provided with a conical tip 105 so that it can be inserted deeper into the ground and improve the stability of the device.

[0050] Furthermore, the soil detection remote sensor assembly 2 includes a remote sensor box 201 disposed below the bottom support 1, and the remote sensor box 201 is connected to a remote sensing sensor 203 (such as a near-ground detection sensor) facing the soil via a remote sensor base 202.

[0051] Remote sensing technology, as an important tool for modern agricultural informatization, can monitor farmland environmental parameters in real time, such as key indicators like soil temperature, humidity, and nitrogen and phosphorus content, through remote sensing satellites, remote sensing drones (for example, the acquired remote sensing data can be sent to the remote sensor box and then fed back to the controller), or near-ground sensors. The remote sensing sensors can feed back the monitored soil indicators to the controller, which can display them on the screen as needed. Key indicators can be viewed and related parameters adjusted by pressing function buttons.

[0052] Furthermore, a solar energy device is connected above the central water pipe 501 via a connecting rod 8. The solar energy device includes a solar panel 9 and a heat dissipation plate 10. The solar panel 9 is fixed on the upper surface of the heat dissipation plate 10. The heat dissipation plate 10 is installed above the central water pipe 501 via the connecting rod 8. The solar panel 9 is electrically connected to the battery in the main control box 4.

[0053] When exposed to sunlight, the solar panel 9 converts solar energy into electrical energy to power the main control box 4 and operate the entire device. Since a large amount of heat is generated during the energy conversion process, excessive heating of the device can affect its operation and reduce energy conversion efficiency. The heat sink below effectively prevents this from happening.

[0054] 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.
