Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sprinkler irrigation devices, specifically an automatic sprinkler irrigation device based on real-time soil temperature and humidity. Background Technology
[0002] In agriculture, landscaping, and urban greening, irrigation is crucial for plant health. Traditional irrigation methods rely heavily on manual labor, such as hand-lifting water or laying flood irrigation pipes. While these methods can meet the basic water needs of plants to some extent, they have many limitations. With technological advancements and increased demands for irrigation efficiency and quality, automatic sprinkler irrigation systems have emerged and continue to develop. In agriculture, large-scale farmland requires timely, quantitative, and uniform irrigation. Manual irrigation not only consumes significant manpower and time but also struggles to guarantee even irrigation. Uneven soil moisture distribution can easily lead to excessive or insufficient water in some areas, affecting crop yield and quality. The emergence of automatic sprinkler irrigation devices provides an effective solution to these problems. Based on preset programs or real-time monitoring of soil moisture and other parameters, it can automatically control the irrigation time, water volume, and range to achieve precise irrigation. Through the rational layout of the main water pipe and branch pipes, water can be evenly distributed to each irrigation area. Then, the water is sprayed out in the form of fine droplets or mist using sprinkler pipes, improving water utilization, reducing water evaporation and loss, and creating a more suitable water environment for plant growth.
[0003] Existing technologies have many shortcomings. Traditional soil testing and sprinkler irrigation methods often require manual soil sampling followed by specialized instrument moisture testing. This process is cumbersome and inefficient, and it is impossible to obtain real-time soil temperature and humidity data. It is also difficult to adjust irrigation strategies according to the immediate needs of plants. Furthermore, manual testing cannot guarantee the uniformity and comprehensiveness of the distribution of testing points, easily leading to blind spots and unsuitable soil moisture in some areas, which affects plant growth. In terms of sprinkler irrigation, existing technologies mostly use surface flooding or fixed sprinkler irrigation. Surface flooding results in high water evaporation and low water resource utilization, and it is also prone to soil compaction. While fixed sprinkler irrigation can improve irrigation uniformity to some extent, it cannot penetrate deep into the soil for targeted irrigation, making it difficult to meet the water needs of plants with deep root systems. In addition, existing testing and sprinkler irrigation devices are mostly independently set up, lacking an effective collaborative working mechanism. After detecting abnormal soil moisture, manual operation is required to start the sprinkler equipment, resulting in a slow response time and inability to replenish water to plants in a timely manner. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic sprinkler irrigation device based on real-time soil temperature and humidity, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] An automatic sprinkler irrigation device based on real-time soil temperature and humidity includes,
[0007] A main water supply pipe, one end of which is provided with multiple branch pipes. The bottom surface of each branch pipe is provided with a detection component, which includes a sheath component and a rod component. The sheath component includes multiple rotating sheaths, which are disposed on the bottom surface of the branch pipes. The bottom surface of each branch pipe is provided with a hidden groove for receiving the rotating sheaths.
[0008] The insertion rod component includes: a movable insertion rod, one end of which has a water outlet communicating with the interior of the movable insertion rod, and the end of the movable insertion rod is also provided with a humidity detection head.
[0009] Furthermore, an electric rotating shaft is provided on the bottom surface of the rotating sheath, a soil-breaking side blade is provided on one side surface of the rotating sheath, a small motor is provided inside the rotating sheath, and a meshing screw is provided on the output end of the small motor.
[0010] Furthermore, the upper surface of the rotating sheath is provided with a water injection hole, the bottom surface of the water distribution branch pipe is provided with an opening that matches the water injection hole, and two telescopic motors are installed inside the rotating sheath.
[0011] Furthermore, a connecting frame is provided between the ends of the output shafts of the two telescopic motors, and a baffle plate that cooperates with the water injection hole is provided on one side surface of the connecting frame.
[0012] Furthermore, one end of the movable insert is provided with a meshing block, and a meshing hole that cooperates with the meshing screw is opened at the center of the meshing block. A water pipe is also provided on the upper surface of the water outlet. The interior of the movable insert is a hollow structure, and the water pipe is connected to the interior of the movable insert.
[0013] Furthermore, the upper surface of the water distribution branch pipe is provided with multiple water spray pipes, the bottom surface of the water distribution branch pipe is provided with fixed pins, and the upper surface of the water distribution branch pipe is provided with multiple hammer blocks that cooperate with the fixed pins.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. In this solution, a sheath component is installed. The rotating sheath rotates out of the hidden groove under the drive of an electric shaft. The soil-breaking side blades on its side can effectively cut and loosen the surrounding soil, breaking the compacted soil structure. The water injection hole inside the rotating sheath cooperates with the opening of the water distribution branch pipe. With the help of the water baffle body driven by the telescopic motor, precise control of water injection is achieved. When water injection is not needed, the water baffle body blocks the water injection hole to prevent water from accidentally flowing into the rotating sheath or the soil, avoiding waste of water resources and possible adverse effects on the soil and plants due to excessive moisture. When water injection is needed, the water baffle body leaves the water injection hole, and the water can be directly injected into the underground of the planting area. This underground water injection method can reduce water evaporation, improve water resource utilization, and make the water more concentrated around the plant roots, achieving better irrigation effect and effectively promoting plant growth.
[0016] 2. In this solution, by incorporating an insert rod component, the movable insert rod, driven by a small motor and meshing screw, can precisely move axially and insert into the soil. This ensures that the humidity detection head can reach the appropriate soil depth for humidity detection. The humidity detection head converts soil humidity data into electrical signals in real time and transmits them to an external signal processing system. This allows the system to accurately determine whether to initiate sprinkler irrigation based on a preset soil humidity threshold, achieving precise monitoring and intelligent control of soil humidity. This avoids over-irrigation or under-irrigation, helps conserve water resources, and ensures plants grow in a suitable humidity environment. Furthermore, the hollow structure inside the movable insert rod, along with the water pipe connected to the branch pipe and the outlet design, allows the movable insert rod to guide some water to the surrounding soil for internal sprinkler irrigation during sprinkler operation. This internal sprinkler method delivers water more directly to the vicinity of plant roots, improving water use efficiency while reducing surface water evaporation and runoff loss. This further enhances the sprinkler irrigation effect, promotes healthy plant growth, and improves the overall efficiency and practicality of the automatic sprinkler irrigation device.

[0022] 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.
[0023] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 An automatic sprinkler irrigation device based on real-time soil temperature and humidity includes:
[0024] A main water supply pipe 1 has multiple branch pipes 2 at one end. Multiple spray pipes 5 are installed on the upper surface of each branch pipe 2. Fixed pins 3 are installed on the bottom surface of each branch pipe 2. Multiple hammer blocks 4 that cooperate with the fixed pins 3 are installed on the upper surface of each branch pipe 2. A detection assembly is installed on the bottom surface of each branch pipe 2, comprising a sheath component and a rod component. The sheath component includes multiple rotating sheaths 7, which are located on the bottom surface of each branch pipe 2. A hidden groove 6 for receiving the rotating sheaths 7 is provided on the bottom surface of each branch pipe 2. An electric rotating shaft 10 is provided, a soil-breaking side blade 9 is provided on one side surface of the rotating sheath 7, a small motor 18 is provided inside the rotating sheath 7, a meshing screw 17 is provided on the output end of the small motor 18, a water injection hole 13 is also provided on the upper surface of the rotating sheath 7, an opening that matches the water injection hole 13 is provided on the bottom surface of the water distribution branch pipe 2, two telescopic motors 16 are provided inside the rotating sheath 7, a connecting frame 19 is provided between the output shaft ends of the two telescopic motors 16, and a water baffle 20 that matches the water injection hole 13 is provided on one side surface of the connecting frame 19.
[0025] When the device is ready to perform soil moisture detection and subsequent possible sprinkler irrigation operations, firstly, the electric rotating shaft 10 is driven to start working by the operator's signal, which drives the rotating sheath 7 to rotate around its axis and rotate the rotating sheath 7 out from the inside of the hidden groove 6. Since the rotating sheath 7 has a soil-breaking side blade 9 on one side surface, during the rotation, the soil-breaking side blade 9 will cut and loosen the surrounding soil, breaking the original compact structure of the soil. The small motor 18 is started, and its output end drives the meshing screw 17 to rotate, protruding the insertion rod component from the inside of the rotating sheath 7 and extending it into the bottom of the planting area that needs watering. The insertion rod component detects the bottom of the planting area. If watering is not required, the output shaft of the telescopic motor 16 retracts, driving the connecting frame 19 to move. This moves the water baffle 20, which is located on one side of the connecting frame 19, to the water injection hole 13, sealing the water injection hole 13 and preventing water from accidentally flowing into the rotating sheath 7 or the soil. When watering is required, the telescopic motor 16 reverses its action, causing the water baffle 20 to leave the water injection hole 13. Water can then enter the interior of the movable insertion rod 8 through the water injection hole 13 and the corresponding opening on the bottom of the water distribution branch pipe 2, and be directly injected into the ground of the planting area through the water outlet 12, thereby achieving a better irrigation effect.
[0026] The insertion rod component includes: a movable insertion rod 8, a meshing block 15 at one end of the movable insertion rod 8, a meshing hole at the center of the meshing block 15 that mates with the meshing screw 17, a water pipe 14 on the upper surface of the water outlet 12, a hollow internal structure of the movable insertion rod 8, the water pipe 14 communicating with the internal structure of the movable insertion rod 8, a water outlet 12 communicating with the internal structure of the movable insertion rod 8 at one end of the movable insertion rod 8, and a humidity detection head 11 at the end of the movable insertion rod 8.
[0027] The insertion rod assembly is mainly used for soil moisture detection and, when necessary, for sprinkler irrigation. After the sheath assembly extends, the small motor 18 continuously rotates, driving the engagement screw 17 to rotate. Since the engagement block 15 at one end of the movable insertion rod 8 has a meshing hole that mates with the engagement screw 17, the rotation of the engagement screw 17 drives the engagement block 15 to move axially along the engagement screw 17, thereby causing the entire movable insertion rod 8 to move downwards and gradually insert into the soil. The moisture detection head 11 at the end of the movable insertion rod 8 is inserted into the soil along with the movable insertion rod 8 and begins to detect the soil moisture in real time. The moisture detection head 11 converts the detected soil moisture data into an electrical signal, which is transmitted through the movable insertion rod... The internal data transmitter transmits data to the external signal processing system. The signal processing system determines whether to start the sprinkler irrigation operation based on the preset soil moisture threshold. If sprinkler irrigation is required, the water source is distributed to each branch pipe 2 through the main water pipe 1 and then discharged through the sprinkler pipe 5. During this process, the water outlet 12 at one end of the movable rod 8 can guide a portion of the water to sprinkle the surrounding soil from the inside to adjust the soil moisture to a suitable range. When the sprinkler irrigation operation is completed or the soil moisture reaches a suitable level and no further sprinkler irrigation is needed, the small motor 18 rotates in reverse. Through the cooperation of the meshing screw 17 and the meshing block 15, the movable rod 8 is pulled out of the soil, completing one detection and sprinkler irrigation operation process.
[0028] Working principle:
[0029] When in use, the electric shaft drives the rotating sheath to rotate out of the hidden slot after the staff sends a signal. Its soil-breaking side blade cuts and loosens the surrounding soil, breaking the compact structure. Then, the small motor drives the meshing screw to rotate. Because the meshing block of the movable insert is engaged with the meshing screw, the movable insert is protruded and inserted into the soil. The humidity detection head at the end detects the soil moisture in real time, and the data is transmitted to the external signal processing system through the data transmitter inside the movable insert.
[0030] If no water injection is needed, the telescopic motor retracts, causing the baffle plate to seal the water injection hole and prevent water from flowing in accidentally. If sprinkler irrigation is needed, the telescopic motor reverses, the baffle plate moves away from the water injection hole, and water enters the movable rod through the water injection hole and opening, and is injected directly into the ground from the outlet side. At the same time, the main water supply pipe distributes water to the branch pipes, and water is discharged through the sprinkler pipes to achieve combined internal and external sprinkler irrigation. When the soil moisture reaches the standard or the sprinkler irrigation is completed, the small motor rotates in reverse to pull the movable rod out of the soil, completing one test and sprinkler irrigation operation.
[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
